Chapter 1077: Ah, I've Been Hijacked

"Where are the people?" The Reaper's heart was pounding. This shouldn't be.

They had said what they were doing before, but it didn't sound like anything important, so they just went to the toilet.

After coming back, they intercepted the vehicle according to the plan. Why were his teammates all gone?

Did they retreat?

Even if they retreated, they should have sent him a signal.

"All come out!" The Reaper tried to summon his companions again, but still, no one answered.

The Reaper cursed in his heart. They were all a bunch of unreliable bastards. Since things had come to this, he could only go on his own!

Lu Yang was also a bit surprised by the Reaper's appearance. After solving that group of genetically modified warriors, he had also followed their words and found a stronghold of the Supreme Society, which was nearby.

Thinking that it was all just a matter of convenience anyway, he went over and used some small tricks to get the people at the stronghold to go to the police station to surrender.

He had handled things so thoroughly, yet there was still a fish that slipped through the net, this Reaper.

Sure enough, one shouldn't do things too quickly; it's easy to have oversights.

"You guys go quickly!" Michelle pushed everyone away and went to face the Reaper.

"I'll come to help too!" Yu Ran said proactively.

The Reaper discovered something was wrong as soon as he fought Michelle: "You were hiding your strength!"

The Michelle in the intelligence shouldn't have been this strong!

Yu Ran's attacks followed one after another. Her strength was not as good as Michelle's and the Reaper's, but it was enough to create an offensive opportunity for Michelle.

The Reaper was no match for the two girls and had thoughts of retreating, but how could it be so simple to leave now?

He bought a flaw, and Michelle, lacking combat experience, really fell for it. He took this opportunity to rush toward Lu Yang and the two, hooking Lu Yang's neck with one hand. His hand was his sharpest weapon; a little force would be enough to cut Lu Yang's neck!

"Don't move! Move again and I'll kill him!"

Michelle and Yu Ran, who were preparing to rush over, stopped their steps abruptly, not daring to make any more moves.

"Ah, I've been hijacked." Lu Yang raised his hands in surrender.

The Reaper sneered, holding Lu Yang hostage as he walked and retreated. Before leaving, he also threw down a small note.

"If you want this person to live, go to this place!"

The Supreme Society had a stronghold nearby; he wanted to lure Michelle and the others into the stronghold!

Michelle picked up the note with an ugly expression. When she got up, both the Reaper and Lu Yang were gone.

The Reaper ran wildly with Lu Yang, trying to contact his companions, but there was still no response. His heart skipped a beat, and he had an ominous feeling.

He entered the underground secret stronghold through an elevator.

The secret stronghold was brightly lit, yet there was no one there. The coffee on the table was still steaming.

Moreover, there were no signs of fighting at the scene. The Reaper was horrified; it was as if there had been a sudden situation and the people in the branch had all evacuated.

"Hey, Extreme Cold Freeze, are you guys here—"

"All Things Grow, if you are here, answer me—"

The Reaper's voice echoed in the long corridor, but no one responded.

Suddenly, a voice sounded at the end of the corridor: "Mr. Reaper, I am here."

The Reaper was overjoyed and hurriedly ran over. I knew there was someone.

However, standing at the end of the corridor was a housekeeping robot. The housekeeping robot looked at the Reaper with hollow eyes, with an emergency light flickering behind it: "Mr. Reaper, do you need coffee?"

Seeing this scene, the Reaper was so scared that he kept retreating.

He gasped for breath, as if he had experienced an invisible life-and-death struggle. He came to the monitoring room again and retrieved the surveillance after he left.

The footage after he left was all normal. The Reaper was upset and fast-forwarded the surveillance.

The branch, which had originally been full of people, disappeared in the next moment, scaring the Reaper into a shiver.

He tremblingly ordered the surveillance to replay this footage, slowing it down two times, four times... until he slowed it down thirty-two times, he still couldn't see clearly what had happened.

In the footage slowed down thirty-two times, the people in the branch disappeared one after another. They didn't seem to notice the disappearance of their companions until they themselves disappeared, as if some indescribable existence had silently devoured everyone.

Thinking of his teammates who had disappeared, extreme panic spread in his heart. The branch's air circulation system was normal, and the fluorescent lights gave people warmth, but the Reaper felt the branch was like a monster's mouth, pitch black, waiting for him to throw himself into the net.

His shoulder was patted by someone, scaring him into jumping up: "Are you okay?"

The Reaper looked back and breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be Lu Yang. It turned out he wasn't the only one here.

And Lu Yang's expressionless face also gave him a little confidence.

"There are only two of us here. Aren't you afraid?"

"Two people?" Lu Yang showed a look of confusion, "Isn't there always three people here?"

As soon as the words fell, a yellow figure slowly appeared in the air.

"Ah—"

The Reaper completely collapsed, and fear completely devoured his heart.

【Note: Text garbled/repeated】

Ding-dong—

The sound of the elevator rang out. The Reaper seemed to have seen a savior and ran crazily toward the elevator.

It was Lan Hai and the three who took the elevator to save Lu Yang.

The Reaper had long since thrown his mission to the back of his mind and ran toward Lan Hai and the three like a madman, giving Lan Hai and the three a big fright.

"Stop! Don't move!" Michelle blocked the front, looking at the Reaper vigilantly.

"Run! There's a ghost! There's a ghost!" The Reaper shouted crazily, saying words that couldn't be understood.

Michelle frowned, easily subdued the Reaper, and looked around vigilantly. She was also a bit strange; why was there no one in the branch?

She had already prepared to kill in all directions.

Could it be a trap?

"Michelle, Yu Ran, Lan Hai, I'm here." Lu Yang walked out of the monitoring room and greeted everyone from far away.

Seeing the calm Lu Yang, the Reaper was so scared that he sat on the ground, pointing at Lu Yang, his feet rubbing against the ground as he retreated crazily.

"Ghost! Ghost! Ghost!"

"Brother Meng, you're okay. That's great." Seeing the safe and sound Lu Yang, Michelle and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm fine. It's just that this Reaper, after bringing me here, picked up someone else's coffee, didn't drink it, and then started shouting. When he heard the housekeeping robot respond, he was overjoyed. When the housekeeping robot asked him if he wanted coffee, he was scared to death."

"I saw he was crazy, so I took the opportunity to escape from his hands." Lu Yang patted his chest, still having lingering fears.

"How strange."

"Yes, how strange. Could it be that he is possessed?"

"He kept muttering about ghosts. Did he see a ghost?"

"We have to be scientific. Where do ghosts come from in the world? Brother Meng, don't you think so?"

Lu Yang nodded, expressing deep agreement: "Exactly, where do ghosts come from?"

"There really are ghosts!" In order to get Lan Hai and the others to stand on his side, the Reaper gathered his courage and led them to the monitoring room to watch the footage.

However, the footage only had static; nothing could be seen.

"It's you! You deleted it!" The Reaper pointed at Lu Yang and shouted. Now Lu Yang was a person possessed by an evil ghost in his eyes.

Lu Yang spread his hands, very innocent: "I didn't do anything."

Lu Yang was telling the truth. He really didn't touch the surveillance. It didn't matter if the surveillance was deleted or not; anyway, Lan Hai and the others couldn't see him on the surveillance.

If it wasn't him, then it was Aether who deleted it?

In that case, Aether had noticed him?
