Chapter 253 The Great Battle of the Bureau of Demonic Investigation
With a loud "bang".
In the operations room, a microphone suddenly fell to the ground from an operator's hand, making a crisp sound before being bounced back by the coil, bobbing up and down in mid-air.
The sound didn't cause much of a commotion in the incredibly noisy operations room, but the agent sitting next to the woman immediately noticed something was amiss.
"Hey Liu, are you alright?" The young detective frowned slightly and asked tentatively.
Then Xiao Liu did not respond at all. Her body stiffened slightly, her face turned pale, and her empty pupils seemed to be trapped in some kind of mental pollution.
After a moment of stunned silence, Xiao Liu mechanically turned her head, and with that movement, her dark, lifeless pupils came into the young detective's view.
"Shadow Invasion!!"
The young detective's hair stood on end instantly, and he abruptly stood up and drew the pistol from his waist.
The violent movement knocked over the chair he was sitting on, and his loud shout instantly attracted the attention of everyone else in the operations room.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned around to look in the direction of the young detective, only to see Xiao Liu sitting there blankly, like a puppet.
The next second, a tentacle suddenly shot out from the shadow beneath Xiao Liu's feet, whipping away the gun in the agent's hand and wrapping around his neck.
In a split second, the entire operations room descended into chaos. The operators and staff who were nearby all retreated rapidly, trying to distance themselves from Xiao Liu as much as possible.
But humans are still a bit slow in the face of shadows. Xiao Liu grinned, and tentacles once again emerged from the shadows beneath his feet, sweeping out towards the agents in all directions to the west.
The once spacious operations room now seemed incredibly cramped for some reason. Some of the armed agents reacted quickly, but they dared not make any rash moves.
Regardless of whether a pistol can effectively damage shadows, in this environment, a slight mishap could cause stray bullets from a firearm to accidentally injure nearby friendly forces.
You should know that everyone who works in the operations room has at least two stars on their chest. They are the backbone of the Demon Surveillance Bureau. Just then, a ghostly green light streaked through the air and instantly severed the tentacles that were entangled with the young agent. The young agent's neck loosened, and he fell straight to the ground.
The young detective jerked his head up, staring at the woman in shock. "Chief...Chief..."
"Stop talking nonsense, get the rest of you out of here!"
Shangguan Su's face was gloomy as she raised her hand to wipe the green dagger in her hand.
This short sword is about one meter long, and its entire body is a deep emerald green, as if it were made of jade. It is extremely beautiful, but it doesn't seem suitable for combat.
It's more like an ornamental object.
However, only Shangguan Su knew that this thing was the first "Dark Crystal Weapon" created by the Demon Supervision Bureau using those corrupted energies.
After collecting a large amount of dark crystals, the scholars of the Bureau of Demonic Supervision have been researching ways to transform them into weapons, because for ordinary humans, this is the only power that can resist those corrupted beings.
And the result was good. Judging from the effect of that slash, the Dark Crystal weapon is not only effective against external demons, but also against the Shadow Clan.
It seemed that "Little Liu" was also somewhat surprised that an ordinary person in front of her could hurt her. A look of surprise flashed across her blank face, which quickly twisted into a grimace.
Dark tendrils spread wildly toward Shangguan Su, creating a series of whooshing sounds in the air.
Shangguan Su dared not take the attack head-on. She dodged the tentacles by sidestepping, then turned and flipped over the table, narrowly avoiding the attack.
The shadowy tendrils almost brushed past Shangguan Su's clothes, cleaving the table, along with the computer and communication devices on it, in two with clean, smooth cuts.
"Damn it, it had to be when Qiu Yun left..."
Shangguan Su's face was somewhat gloomy. She raised her hand and used her sword to block the shadowy tendrils that were almost touching her.
The immense force made Shangguan Su's tiger's mouth go numb. Sure enough, even with the dark crystal weapon, it was still too difficult for a human body to gain the upper hand.
Don't underestimate me!
With a soft shout, Shangguan Su turned around and kicked the table in front of her towards "Little Liu" not far away.
The wheels under the computer case vibrated slightly as they slammed towards "Little Liu" with tremendous force, but before they could get close, a shadowy tendril slashed out and cut the table in two.
At that moment, Shangguan Su took advantage of the situation and leaped high into the air, stepping on the table that had just been knocked over.
But her movements had already been caught by "Little Liu," who revealed a mocking expression on his face as the shadow beneath him erupted with full force.
They rushed towards Shangguan Su from all directions.
Shangguan Su, suspended in mid-air, had virtually no chance to dodge, but her expression remained unchanged. She forcefully twisted her body in mid-air, the jade knife slipping from her hand, and kicked the hilt of the blade.
nail!
A tremendous force descended upon the jade knife, and the short sword instantly transformed into a streak of light, piercing straight towards "Little Liu's" head.
His black pupils suddenly contracted. "Little Liu" clearly did not expect that the opponent's leap was merely to attract his attention, and that the real killing move was this "Hundred Steps Flying Sword".
At that moment, the surrounding shadowy tentacles went berserk, and the black shadows changed direction in mid-air, their target instantly shifting from Shangguan Su to the jade knife.
A faint sound of wind breaking rang out, and just as the jade knife was only two steps away from "Little Liu", a tentacle finally caught up with its speed.
As the first tendril approached, the second and the third followed, with shadows as thick as hemp ropes binding the jade knife tightly, finally trapping it in mid-air.
But before "Little Liu" could react, she suddenly realized that Shangguan Su's figure had already appeared in front of her.
Grabbing the knife hilt without hesitation, Shangguan Su slapped out with her palm, striking "Little Liu" hard in the chest.
"Wow—"
A shrill scream, like a baby crying, burst from Xiao Liu's mouth. Looking at her back, a viscous, pitch-black substance was rapidly separating out, as if the monster inside her had been blasted out by Shangguan Su's palm.
The dark shadow had no shape and continued its relentless march, crashing straight into the conference room wall.
Bang bang bang! !
At that moment, the surrounding agents seized the opportunity and pulled the trigger repeatedly, subduing him.
Xiao Liu's body swayed and he collapsed, but Shangguan Su reacted quickly and caught him.
"Guards! Guards! Take her out!"
Several operators nearby rushed over upon hearing this.
Shangguan Su frowned slightly and raised her hand to adjust the headset. "Qiu Yun, Qiu Yun! Can you hear me?...Xiao Chi? Sister Yao? Can anyone hear me?"
"Chief, communications have been cut off."
In the chaos, a man ran over, clutching his arm; blood streamed down his face, but his expression remained unchanged. "It's not physical means; some kind of energy is affecting us."
It just so happens at this time...:
Shangguan Su looked up and around, then asked.
"Where are the others? Where are all the magical girls in the bureau? The Shadow Clan has already extended their reach here, why didn't the Flower Fairy give any warning?"
Without hesitation, the man spoke quickly. "Other departments within the bureau have also been attacked. Many agents have been affected by the shadows and suddenly launched attacks. Various departments are attempting to retaliate."
After a pause, the man gritted his teeth and said again.
"The intrusion occurred simultaneously; the opponent didn't infiltrate from the outside using shadows, but launched an attack directly from within the unit!"
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Su's brows furrowed even more deeply. She suddenly raised her hand. "Wait, what do you mean? Are you saying the enemy didn't come in from the outside, but was already hidden within the scheme?"
"Should..." the man opened his mouth.
Boom! Boom!
Before he could finish speaking, a violent explosion was heard outside the conference room.
The powerful impact shattered the door, and several agents who had just reached the entrance were blasted back by the terrifying force, crashing heavily to the ground.
Shangguan Su and the man were also affected. The two quickly lowered their bodies, and the entire building began to rumble and shake.
The power system collapsed instantly, plunging the entire building into darkness. Only the emergency lights stubbornly maintained their faint glow, struggling to dispel the darkness.
Beams of brilliant fluorescent light shone through different windows, creating a unique aesthetic from the outside of the building.
A park some distance from the Bureau of Demon Control building.
Qin Nan had just dealt with the C-level alien beast with the help of Xiao Hui. Before she could even catch her breath, she turned around and saw flames erupting from a building in the distance.
"Holy crap, what's going on?!"
Little Grey flapped its wings and replied, "This magic is from the magical girls in the bureau fighting against the Shadow Clan."
"I know that's obvious," Qin Nan gritted his teeth. "What I'm curious about is how those Shadow Clan guys managed to infiltrate the headquarters of the Demon Surveillance Bureau!"
After a brief pause, Qin Nan flapped his wings and soared through the sky, quickly flying towards the Demon Surveillance Bureau building.
While rushing on her way, she anxiously called out through her headset.
"Hey! Director Shangguan! Can you hear me? Feed me? Hey!"
"hateful."
"Hey, Sister Tan! Sister Tan, can you hear me?!"
"Feed?"
On the side of the building, Tan Zhixin slowly stood up from the ground.
She was also affected by the explosion; the shaking of the building threw her off as she was running.
Before she could even react to what was happening, she heard Qin Nan's voice coming through her earpiece.
"Qin Nan? I can hear you. Where are you?"
Upon hearing Tan Zhixin's voice, Qin Nan's heart immediately relaxed.
The Bureau of Demonic Investigations has been attacked; it was done by the Shadow Clan.
"Okay, I understand."
[Sister Tan, don't move! I'll be there soon. Just stay where you are and wait for me. I'll be there in a minute!]
Tan Zhixin steadied herself.
"Don't worry about me, be careful, I..."
She had only spoken halfway when Tan Zhixin suddenly noticed a woman standing in the corridor behind her.
A chill ran through her, and Tan Zhixin glanced sideways.
The next moment, her pupils contracted.
"It's you..."
[Feed?]
Who? Who is it?!
【Sister Tan!】
In the deserted corridor, only an earpiece lay on the ground.
Sister Tan, say something!
【Hello!!】
