Chapter 814: This “Nightfall” Team Has Serious Issues
A few seconds later, other new recruits who heard the shouting rushed over.
“What happened?”
“Did you find the members of the Nightfall team? Where are they?”
Qian Duoduo sat on the ground in terror, frantically crawling backward, pointing at the bushes behind him, his face pale!
“They killed someone… they killed someone!!”
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the other recruits changed, and they walked straight to the bushes.
In the next moment, their bodies jolted.
“How could this happen…”
Someone walked over to the corpse, bent down, and confirmed, “It’s definitely dead…”
“It’s Instructor Li, I recognize him.” The faces of the other recruits turned extremely grim as they turned to Qian Duoduo, “Did you see who did it?”
“It was the Nightfall team! He was wearing a deep red cloak and holding a monk’s mask in his left hand!” Qian Duoduo stammered.
“Are you talking nonsense? The Nightfall team is the fifth special team of the Great Xia, how could they kill… you must have seen it wrong!” someone among the recruits retorted.
“No, he didn’t see it wrong.” Liu Yang, who had been silent, spoke up, “I can testify.”
“…”
“I think we might as well assume that the two of them didn’t see it wrong.” At that moment, a man stepped forward from the crowd, “Based on the information we have now, I can think of two possibilities.
The first possibility is that the Nightfall team has betrayed us and killed the instructors of this training camp…”
“Nonsense, why would they do that?” a recruit immediately countered.
“That really doesn’t make sense.”
“I also think a special team wouldn’t do such a thing.”
Once this viewpoint was expressed, it drew a lot of opposition.
“Then, if that’s the case, only the second possibility remains.” The man continued, “The second possibility… is that the ones present in this training camp are not the real Nightfall team…”
“What does that mean?”
“I mean, some of them… or all of them, have been swapped out.” The man spoke with certainty, “The entire Nightfall team wears masks and descends directly from the sky; it’s impossible to determine their identities, right? Who can be sure that the ones under the masks are indeed the Nightfall members and not some evil individuals impersonating them?”
“But Instructor Yuan said they are the Nightfall team!”
“After they landed, Instructor Yuan didn’t see their faces, did he?”
Everyone stood frozen in place.
“But… if that’s the case, who would impersonate the Nightfall team? What is their purpose?”
“I don’t know what their purpose is, but…” The man paused and lowered his voice, “Perhaps you’ve heard of the Ancient God Church?”
Upon hearing these four words, everyone’s hearts skipped a beat.
The Ancient God Church…
“This brother.” One recruit stepped forward, looking curiously at the man who spoke, “May I ask, what is your name?”
“Name?” The man shrugged, “I am Shen Qingzhu.”
…
“What did you say? A corpse of an instructor was found?!”
In the dormitory area, nearly a hundred recruits gathered together, and upon hearing this, shock appeared on their faces.
“That’s right.” The recruit who had run over from the cafeteria to relay the news took a moment to catch his breath before continuing, “According to informed sources, this is likely an organization called the Ancient God Church, disguised as the Nightfall team, infiltrating the new recruit training camp…”
The faces of the other recruits immediately turned grim.
“But why?” Someone among the recruits asked in confusion, “Even if the Ancient God Church really sent someone in, what is their purpose? This is just a new recruit training camp; there’s nothing valuable here!”
“This… we are still unclear about. The informed sources are still analyzing, and I believe there will be results soon.” The recruit who relayed the news continued, “I came here to warn you that, given the current unclear situation, it’s best to avoid conflict with the Nightfall team. It would be better for everyone to find a place to hide and wait until we clarify the situation before deciding…”
Rustling—!
Before he finished speaking, a faint sound came from above everyone’s heads.
Everyone froze and looked up at the ceiling. They had just begun searching the dormitory building, and they were still on the first floor; the second floor and above had not been searched yet. As soon as this strange sound appeared, it captured their attention.
“What sound is that?”
“I don’t know… it sounds like insects crawling?”
“What insects crawl up the stairs? The sound can penetrate the floorboards?”
“Uh…”
“Let’s go up and take a look.”
“Is that okay? Didn’t we just say the situation is strange?”
“What are you afraid of? Even if there are really people from the Ancient God Church mixed in, under the effect of the Town Ruins Monument, they only have the ‘Pool’ realm. There are over a hundred of us here; are we still afraid of them?”
“What you said makes sense!”
After discussing for a moment, everyone gathered their spirits and stealthily made their way to the second floor of the dormitory building…
They climbed the stairs to the second floor and were momentarily stunned when they saw the dormitory door standing at the stairway.
“Strange, why is this door here? Where’s the corridor?”
“The layout of the dormitory building wasn’t like this before, right? What’s going on?”
In confusion, they pushed open the dormitory door, and behind it was not the familiar dormitory but a vast hollow area resembling a nest!
It was as if someone had disrupted the structure of the dormitory building and reorganized it. Although the exterior of the dormitory building had not changed, the internal space had been completely altered, with the original rooms arranged like a beehive, and in the central large hollow, huge spider webs were attached.
The webs were dense, and spider silk floated down; the pale and sturdy strands of silk dangled, ensnaring and wrapping around corpses, slowly swaying in the dim hollow…
The moment they saw those corpses, all the recruits’ pupils constricted!
Those… were all instructors.
At that moment, in the dim spider nest, a human-faced spider lying in the center of the web opened its crimson compound eyes, its jagged mandibles glinting coldly, making anyone who glanced at it shudder!
“Monster… monster!” One recruit, witnessing this scene, collapsed to the ground, “A monster killed them!”
Beside this human-faced spider, a figure draped in a deep red cloak slowly emerged, his Sun Wukong mask stained with some blood. One hand held a silver cube, while the other gently stroked the head of the menacing human-faced spider.
He gazed at the recruits behind the door, who were frozen in fear, his eyes glinting with a chilling light.
“Ah?” he whispered like a demon, “Have you been discovered…?”
