Translator: 549690339

Inside Nia City.

In the hazy fog, a few beastly roars suddenly echoed.

Occasional gunshots and cries for help as well as screams rang out, only to be swallowed by the deathly silence and accompanying hair-raising chewing noises.

“Damn it, what the hell is going on?”

In a shop by the street, Fatima was hiding under the counter, looking at a few ordinary people trembling in fear next to her, feeling as though she’s about to go crazy.

Why did everything change so drastically after she got up from a sleep?

Why was the sky filled with bizarre rainbow colors? And the appearance of those beasts that could regenerate continuously?

“Is Nia City bracing to face a new round of catastrophe after the last disaster?

Misfortun… why do you favor this place so much? Or is there any particular reason?”

Fatima felt disoriented.

“Whimper… I am so scared!”

At this moment, a small boy in the arms of a couple inside the shop, seemingly unable to hold back any longer, began to cry.

“Shut up… do you want to kill us?”

Fatima was taken aback.

But before she could stop him… Bang! Bang!

A muffled thud echoed from the direction of the shop entrance.

“Damn it… I’m going to fight them!”

Fatima gritted her teeth and loaded her revolver, “Listen to me… these beasts seem to be attracted to crowds… once I step outside, you must immediately head for the outskirts of the city, the farther the better.”

Just as she was commanding, the shop door shattered and a black-haired creature resembling a gigantic hunting dog with two heads emerged.

Its eyes were red as blood, and its mouth salivated with a stench, instantly locking onto Fatima.

“Aim… shoot. It’s simple!”

With a nimble roll, Fatima evaded the beast’s attack aiming at its eyes and pulled the trigger hard.

Bang!

Amid the flame, one of the beast’s eyes burst open, with black liquid splashing all over.

But it was useless!

Just a few seconds later, its wound healed and it became even more ferocious. It opened its mouth wide, splitting apart all the way to the side of its body, revealing terribly sharp, white teeth and fiercely bit down at Fatima.

If she were bitten, the female detective, along with the surrounding furniture, would be swallowed in one bite!

Splat!

The savage bite landed on its target, chewed it for a while and spat it out, discovering that Fatima had somehow turned into a half-size mannequin.

“That’s my life-saving ability…”

On the street, Fatima’s figure appeared, sprinting towards the outskirts of the city.

However, she soon despaired.

In the hazy fog, the shadowy figures of several more beasts surrounded her from all sides.

“Am I about to die?”

“To think… I was going to die here… I still wanted to fall in love, have a pair of lovely babies…”

With a bitter smile, Fatima prepared herself for the arrival of death.

“Well! That’s an interesting wish, then carry it with you, and live well.” A voice suddenly echoed from the sky.

Astonished, Fatima looked up, only to see a semi-transparent phantom figure that emitted light all over, “A spiritual body?”

“Turns out it’s a Nightmare Demon!”

This spiritual body took the form of a gentle old man, snapping his fingers as he looked at the black beasts that surrounded her.

Snap!

A few white flames fell like flowers onto the bodies of the beasts.

Next moment, they started howling, their bodies bizarrely set alight, turning into ashes.

“The city hall and the church have set up two shelters, located in the original

Bright Cathedral and the central square locations… go!”

The spiritual body glanced at Fatima and disappeared into thin air.

“A high-ranking occupational person? Master… or a legend?”

Murmuring to herself, Fatima, seeing that where the spiritual body was, the black beasts ignited one after another, couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief and run towards the nearest Goddess of Light Cathedral.

The Goddess of Light Cathedral.

The once magnificent building was now somewhat damaged.

Thousands of refugees were crammed into the narrow hall and the limited square outside, with a mix of various odors almost causing people to vomit.

In addition, injured people gave out agonizing cries, adding a hint of heaviness to the air.

Outside the church, a circle of radiance temporarily kept the eerie fog and the beasts at bay.

Even so, a sense of panic was spreading rapidly among the refugees.

Su Lu arrived to such a scene.

“This is troublesome…

Billy returned to his side, speaking in a worried tone, “According to a priest, the local Archbishop, Oliver, called up all the manpower last night to assist Theo from The Eleventh Bureau in tackling the situation in the East District… It now appears that they obviously failed and met with a dreadful result.”

“That ray of light indeed isolated Nia City, although spiritual bodies can still pass through… but the situation is quite grim…”

“This is quite evident.”

Su Lu rolled his eyes, “If we can’t resolve this situation quickly, we are all done for! Huh? Who’s that?”

He saw a staggering figure burst into the church, it was surprisingly Fatima.

The female detective was, after all, an occupational person. Despite such dangerous situations, she was still alive.

Su Lu nodded at her, showing no intention of going over to greet her, and focused his attention on Billy, “What about the cause of this disaster?”

“How would I know?”

Billy frowned, “But… I guess those above will soon summon all types of

Transcendents.”

As expected, not long after, a group of white-robed priests began to spread the latest news, “Everyone, please pay attention, we request all occupational persons to come inside the church, we have an important matter that needs discussion!”

With the news released, the crowd went into an uproar.

“I knew it… I knew there was the existence of Transcendents, the Federation was always deceiving us…” a white male cried out hysterically, flailing his arms around.

“Why didn’t they tell us? We have a right to know!”

“Yes, they should disclose the information!”

In the cathedral hall and among the thousands of people crowded in the small square in front, there was a tendency towards unrest.

“Be silent!”

At this moment, a voice sounded.

It was grand and vast, seemingly with an unbelievable power to instill calm, making the crowd instantly quiet.

“This is the holy place of the Goddess. Please mind your words and actions.”

An old man in a white robe emerged. There was an air of ascetic piety around him, and with gentle eyes, he quelled the chaos where his gaze fell.

In the crowd, a few figures also began to move forward, heading inside the church.

“Let’s go.”

Su Lu greeted Ian, and the two of them moved towards the white-robed old man.

Not long after, there was another person beside him, it was Fatima with an uncertain expression..
