Chapter 483: White Shadow
Zhou Ping’s figure flickered and then dashed up to the second floor, with Lin Qiye and the others closely following behind.
The second floor appeared to be a spacious office. As they pushed open the frosted glass door, a strong smell of blood mixed with a foul odor rushed towards them!
Everyone froze in place at the sight before them.
The office was in complete disarray; tables, chairs, a water dispenser, computers, and bookshelves lay shattered on the floor. A large amount of deep red blood had congealed into hard clumps on the tiles, sticking to the ground and emitting a nauseating stench.
In the corner, an old television lay on the ground, its screen filled with white static, and intermittent crackling sounds came from the speakers.
In the center of the room, six twisted corpses lay haphazardly on the floor.
Not a single part of these six bodies was intact; they were covered in bite marks and wounds, as if torn apart by some ferocious beast. Mangled limbs were scattered around, creating an extremely gruesome scene!
“What on earth is this…” Cao Yuan’s face turned pale as he took in the horrifying sight.
Lin Qiye’s gaze swept over the corpses, and he slowly closed his eyes, his voice heavy, “It’s Team 008… not a single one left.”
He had reviewed the member profiles of Team 008 in the car, and he recognized the faces of the corpses, including their leader, Li Hong. All of them had perished here.
No wonder Huang Yuande’s calls couldn’t get through…
“This is Team 008; how could they be wiped out here without a sound?” Bai Li Pangpang said in disbelief. “Who could their enemy be? ‘Klein’?”
An Qingyu furrowed her brows and stepped forward, her shoes crunching on the bloody clumps as she carefully observed her surroundings, a hint of grayness appearing in her eyes.
“From the degree of blood coagulation, they must have been killed about 11 days ago. The windows and tiles are undamaged, indicating that there wasn’t a large-scale battle. At least the ‘Wuliang’ realm captain didn’t exert full force; otherwise, this building wouldn’t have withstood it…
Given the current situation, there are two possibilities.
First, the attacker was someone familiar to Team 008, who, when they let their guard down, used some method to instantly kill everyone, even the ‘Wuliang’ realm captain didn’t have time to react.
Second, the attacker was a top-tier powerhouse, and Team 008 didn’t even have time to resist before being overwhelmed by the disparity in strength, leading to a one-sided slaughter…”
“What kind of powerhouse could annihilate a team led by someone in the ‘Wuliang’ realm?” Cao Yuan frowned.
“Of course there are, someone at the level of Sword Saint could easily wipe them out in an instant,” An Qingyu added. “Of course, I’m just using that as an example; it couldn’t have been Sword Saint.”
“Are you saying the attacker was a ceiling-level powerhouse?”
Zhou Ping shook his head. “Impossible. If it were a ceiling-level powerhouse, they could take their lives in an instant without giving them a chance to create this chaos.”
“So, the attacker should be a top-tier ‘Klein,’ but not a ceiling-level powerhouse…”
“The Ancient God Church?”
“Very likely. Among the group of evil god agents in the Ancient God Church, there must be someone who has reached that level, like the ‘Murmur’ we encountered before.”
“From the scene here, it doesn’t seem like it was ‘Murmur’; it should be someone else… a person with brutal methods and immense power.”
“Perhaps some of the top few ‘Believers’ also possess such strength.”
As everyone speculated about the identity of the attacker, they carefully searched the room for any clues.
Lin Qiye circled the entire office, but aside from the scattered furniture, he found nothing else.
Shasha shasha shasha shasha…
The crackling sound from the old television came from the corner. Lin Qiye looked at the TV, hesitated for a moment, then walked up to it, a look of confusion in his eyes.
The white static on the screen swayed, dazzling to the viewer.
“Qiye, is there something wrong with the TV?” Bai Li Pangpang noticed Lin Qiye’s unusual behavior and stepped forward to ask.
Lin Qiye’s brow furrowed tighter. He pointed at the television and slowly spoke:
“I was wondering how this TV is displaying images when it clearly isn’t plugged in…”
Behind the old television, the power cord had been severed in two, with tangled metal wires protruding from the black casing, lying quietly in the pool of blood.
Bai Li Pangpang stood frozen in place.
Shasha shasha shasha…
At that moment, the snowy screen of the television shook violently, and amidst the static, a figure faintly emerged.
From the outline, it appeared to be a strange girl in a white dress.
“Shasha shasha… Believers… shasha shasha… you… shall die!”
Amidst the intermittent noise, a chilling female voice could be faintly heard. The next moment, the lights in the entire room flickered on and off.
“Huh?” Zhou Ping turned around to look at the television, a look of surprise in his eyes.
Lin Qiye heard the voice, his expression tightening. Just as he was about to do something, a white phantom shot out from the old television!
A cold, beautiful face rapidly enlarged in his vision!
In the blink of an eye, the white phantom that flew out of the television collided directly with Lin Qiye, who was closest to it.
“Qiye!!” Bai Li Pangpang, standing nearby, exclaimed in shock.
After the phantom entered Lin Qiye’s body, it vanished without a trace. Lin Qiye staggered back several steps, one hand covering his eyes, standing still like a statue.
Although the others didn’t see what happened clearly, they sensed something was wrong and quickly gathered around Lin Qiye.
“Qiye, are you okay?” Cao Yuan asked with concern.
Lin Qiye lowered his head, standing in front of the television, staring at the static on the screen, his back to the others, making it impossible to see his expression.
After a few seconds, Lin Qiye slowly turned around…
His deep-set eyes were filled with rage!
“Believers… all shall die!!”
He pushed off the ground with his feet, his entire being shot towards Bai Li Pangpang like lightning, a shadowy darkness enveloping his fist as he swung it straight out!
At the same time, a strange ghostly light burst forth from Lin Qiye’s eyes.
Bai Li Pangpang felt a flash before his eyes, and everything around him became unreal. A wave of unprecedented guilt surged within him.
He felt as if he had done something terribly wrong.
He had let Lin Qiye down.
So…
In that moment, he closed his eyes, neither dodging nor resisting.
He felt he deserved this punch.
Bang—!!
Just before the punch landed on Bai Li Pangpang, a pale hand grasped Lin Qiye’s fist.
