Red, a hair-raising red.
This was the first and only color visible in the room, flooding their vision as if they had plunged into an eerie Hell.
Numerous bottles and jars are neatly arranged like museum collections.
Occasionally, some jars contain not only parts of human bodies but also various supernatural objects and inexplicable instruments linking them.
The original color of the instruments is already indistinguishable, with only a ghastly blood-red remaining on their surfaces.
Looking closer, whether it's the heads on the walls or the severed limbs in glass containers, they all seem to tremble slightly, as if they still possess their consciousness despite being entirely severed.
There is a vague sense that these supernatural objects and the limbs have some connection, much like the relationship between a Fierce Ghost and a Symbiont.
"Is this... the Mouse Flute?"
Among the many supernatural objects, He Zhan spotted something familiar.
It was none other than the flute from the Dongri Grand Hotel incident, which had summoned a rat tide that nearly cost him his life!
However, the original Mouse Flute had long been destroyed and placed in the evidence room by the authorities; the one in front of him could only be a new Mouse Flute being produced by the Promised Land!
"How many lives must be sacrificed to mass-produce a single supernatural object..." He Zhan's voice trembled slightly; he hadn't expected the Promised Land to have become so insane!
Bang—
The container closest to them exploded, and Minister Long continued twisting the Magic Cube in his hand without a word.
As his power activated, the space within the entire room started to compress until it collapsed, with each container being crushed into powder.
Various limbs, along with the supernatural objects linking them, were completely destroyed!
"There's no saving the people anymore, just release them from suffering and let's check the next room."
Minister Long's voice was utterly indifferent, with no hint of emotion. Yet, the more composed his tone was, the more it made He Zhan feel the anger in his heart.
It was like the calm before a storm, with the power to destroy everything about to erupt.
Rumble—
The moment He Zhan walked out the door, the room used to create mass-produced supernatural objects behind him made a loud crashing sound.
When he turned back, he saw no trace of ruins.
The entire expanse of flat houses had become nothing but empty ground!
If not for the lingering bloody scent in the air reminding him of the previous hellish scene, it was unimaginable that a building stood there a second ago.
Minister Long's steps didn't falter, erasing a building seemed as simple as breathing for him.
Buzz—
But before the two could head to the next building, a piercing alarm began to echo throughout all the flats!
After all, with an entire flat vanishing into thin air, even the most complacent members of the Promised Land would have noticed.
"Prepare for battle. You don't need to leave anyone alive; I'll catch the mastermind and bring him back for interrogation."
With that, Minister Long threw the Magic Cube in his hand through the window of the building not far ahead.
Just as some Promised Land members opened the door to confront the intruders, about five or six people clutching various supernatural objects.
"Subdue them as materials!"
Leading them was a burly, bald man with a cruel smile, swinging a dark red hammer in his hand.
This was a newly researched supernatural object, perfect for testing on these two!
Yet, bizarrely, the two intruders walking out of the research room didn't regard them as a threat, with one of them even drawing a gun and heading towards another floor.
This sense of being looked down upon stirred a nameless anger in the hearts of the Promised Land members.
Rumble—
Before anyone could react, a roar was heard from the building behind them, as a dark shadow smashed through the solid walls and soared skywards.
A cube-shaped dragon-like monster covered with strange pupils lunged at one of them, biting him in half, blood spilling from its jaws.
It hovered at the top of the building, its body full of eerie vertical pupils glaring at the Promised Land members, exuding a pure killing intent akin to a predator in the wild, sending shivers down their spines.
From afar, the creature resembled the mythical Yinglong, but up close, its hideous appearance was nauseating.
"You see, myths don't exist, dragons are fabricated, nothing more than a product of supernatural power," Minister Long's voice was icily indifferent.
"Today, I grant you a massacre!"
Roar—
With his command, the Magic Cube Dragon roared in response, pouncing towards the insignificant Promised Land members like ants.
As it passed, the space began to warp and collapse.
Even without being directly bitten, merely being in the vicinity would result in obliteration in the distorted space.
He Zhan activated the Palm Eye, charging into other floors to initiate suppression and eradication.
Minister Long glanced at his Magic Cube Dragon, then nonchalantly proceeded towards the one building among the five flats with only two life signals.
He could sense the anomalies in the space, as any movement would give spatial feedback, and those two were certainly important members of the Promised Land!
Could it be the Ghost Valley?
Who was the other person?
"Such brilliance, such spectacular power! Are you interested in letting me unleash your true potential?" A voice suddenly echoed from within the building.
Minister Long looked up slightly, seeing a figure with a black mask standing by the window, the mask bearing a large white "Ghost" character.
"So you're Ghost Valley? I can't believe you actually survived back in Anyi City."
Upon hearing Minister Long, the person upstairs exclaimed, "So it's you, Zodiac Dragon! I wondered whose power was so imbued with beauty; your feat of turning buildings to ashes with a wave of your hand back then was unforgettable!"
Back then, Minister Long was instructed that there were no innocents left in Anyi City, permitting him to erase the city.
In such a scenario, Minister Long had no direct contact with Ghost Valley and started the erasure directly.
Thus, this was their first official meeting!
"Ghost Valley, stop hiding, isn't there another person in the room? Call them out together."
With that, Minister Long ascended out of thin air.
As if possessing flight, he floated in the air, leveling up to Ghost Valley's line of sight, and caught sight of the figure sitting on the sofa inside the room.
With just one look, he frowned in confusion and said, "Are you... Wu Ming's father?"
He had reviewed the profiles of the Wu brothers, naturally knowing about their parents being deceased, and had seen Wu Xiaoyao's face in the files, allowing him to recognize it instantly.
Upon hearing Minister Long, Wu Xiaoyao's Bionic Man stood up and replied helplessly, "Nice to meet you, Zodiac Dragon. I am Wu Liang's father—Wu Xiaoyao."
"But the Wu Ming you mentioned... I don't know him."
