133: Chapter 133 Hell on Earth

"System! Didn't you say my mission was complete?! Why was the Barrier activated anyway!"

Qian Mo spun several times in the air, finally dissipating the massive force received on his arm before landing steadily.

[Ding! Please do not slander this System's innocence. The System never said the crisis would be resolved after the mission was completed.]

"Forget it, I'll settle the score with you after this incident is over..."

Ignoring the System, Qian Mo stared solemnly at the two figures in white cloaks before him—one tall and one short.

The shorter one was still in a punching stance, his fist covered in a layer of hard black scales, radiating a violent aura.

"Alright, we should go. Don't cause more trouble, lest we get caught up in it ourselves."

The other Star Cult Apostle walked over and patted the punching apostle on the shoulder.

"No! Close the Barrier right now!"

Qian Mo roared and was about to step forward.

In an instant, he keenly observed the slender fingers of the tall apostle move slightly.

Not good!

A hidden Killing Intent came from behind.

He quickly lowered his head to dodge.

Feeling the cold wind sweep over his head, he took the momentum to turn and throw a punch.

This punch utilized the Star Body, and the result was as he expected. Without meeting any resistance, the punch went straight through the object behind him.

He looked closely and found it was a realistic Puppet in the form of an old man.

"Damn it! You dare destroy my beloved work of art!"

The tall apostle shouted loudly.

"Brother! Don't be impulsive, we need to retreat!"

Now it was the short apostle's turn to hold him back tightly, his massive black beast claws almost wrapping around the tall apostle's entire body.

"Don't worry, your end will be the same as its."

Saying this, he reached out toward the two Star Cult members, and a massive phantom of the Balance of Equivalence appeared behind him.

"Balance of Equi... What!"

Just during the young man's Superpower activation wind-up, he saw the short apostle ahead wave his hand.

Dense black Qi enveloped the two figures almost instantly.

At the same time, Qian Mo felt the aura that had been locked onto by his Balance of Equivalence vanish instantly.

This was the first time he had been so crudely broken away from after locking onto an opponent with his Superpower.

He inevitably froze for a moment, and that brief hesitation caused him to miss the best chance to give chase.

Soon, the black Qi dissipated, and the two figures had long since disappeared.

"Tch..."

The young man slapped his thigh hard.

"Damn it..."

Just then, sounds of wild beasts roaring mixed with people's cries for help came from outside the Haunted House.

"Roar!"

"Ah!! Help!!!"

"Where are the people from the Security Bureau?! Call for help!"

"It's no use! The signal is being jammed!"

"What kind of monster is this?!"

"Roar!"

...

In such a critical situation, Qian Mo became even calmer.

Maintaining this kind of Barrier must require a core. Based on what those two said, the core definitely isn't on them, because the core must be within the Barrier, cannot be buried underground, and cannot be too conspicuous or exposed...

And according to the data from the System, this core must be extremely conspicuous. To meet these conditions, the core is most likely hidden in the Amusement Park's...

"Qian Mo!"

A young girl's crisp voice came from his side, from the direction of the Haunted House entrance.

The young man turned his head to see a girl shrouded in golden light standing at the entrance.

Behind her was the bright red sky dyed by the crimson Barrier, making her look like an angel of hope falling into Hell.

Qian Mo was stunned, his mind going blank. It was as if many fragments of memory flashed through his mind, yet nothing remained.

"You are..."

"I finally found you! Quick, come with me!"

Seeing Qian Mo still standing there in a daze, Xing Yaoyan ran over, grabbed his arm with a look of frustration, and dragged him outside.

After seeing the girl's familiar outfit and her anxious face, Qian Mo finally snapped out of it.

"Young Miss Xing Yan... have we met somewhere before..."

That familiar golden Demonic Power reminded him of a certain familiar stranger. Back in the mine, she had arrived just in time to save him, they had fought side by side, and finally, he had accidentally offended her...

"Talk later once we're out!"

Xing Yaoyan sighed helplessly; she knew her first secret identity had been completely blown.

Forget it, it doesn't matter...

"I know a place where we can escape, but it's only open for about three more minutes. Follow me; with our speed, we can definitely get out within the time limit."

"How do you know that..."

"Don't worry about it. This Young Miss has her ways and plenty of skills. Just follow me."

There was no time to explain. To evacuate in time, they had to move quickly.

During their conversation, they had already reached the outside of the Haunted House.

Within the crimson Barrier, explosions were everywhere, corpses were scattered about, and dozens of hideous monsters exuding thick Killing Intent were slaughtering everything in sight.

There were also Espers present, gathering together to resist the attacks of these monsters.

However, although these resisting Espers were all Third Order, the attacking monsters were all Three-Mark Level Star Beasts.

Almost every time she sensed the aura of Third Order Spiritual Power erupting somewhere, it would be instantly snuffed out, replaced by the disgusting aura of a Star Beast.

At this moment, Xing Yaoyan suddenly recalled the scene when she first met Xiao Dao.

Back then, she hadn't felt this disgusting aura from Xiao Dao, and later, Xiao Dao admitted to not being affected by the Breath of the Abyss.

It seems she had been careless back then...

After briefly grumbling about Xiao Dao in her heart, the girl continued pulling Qian Mo through the transformed Amusement Park.

It hadn't been very clear from a distance, but now that they were in the crowded area of the Amusement Park, the tragic scene of this living Hell truly revealed itself.

Broken walls, crimson blood everywhere, fragments of human bodies, and the occasional roar of Star Beasts from afar...

"Big brother! Big sister! Are you from the Security Bureau? Please save my mommy, she's not going to make it!"

A little girl's sobbing came from the side.

The young man's footsteps paused, and the force transmitted through his hand actually made Xing Yaoyan, who was leading the way, stumble.

"What are you doing... don't meddle in other people's business..."

Xing Yaoyan increased the strength in her grip.

But to her surprise, Qian Mo had actually activated his Spiritual Power, and she couldn't budge him.

"I'm sorry, Young Miss Xing Yan, please let go."

"Why? I'm trying to save you."

Xing Yaoyan felt a surge of inexplicable anger.

"I'm sorry, I promised someone something. I can't just leave like this..."
