195: Chapter 195 Many people got into trouble after entering this place.

When he received the message from Xia Ningxue,

Luo Wei was having lunch at a restaurant near the Weiyi Group.

As for Li Yina, she was fast asleep in the lounge of her office.

The rewards Luo Wei had given her were like a storm; she needed to rest for quite a while to recover.

Xia Ningxue, who had joined the Special Management Department, was about to begin her operation, but Luo Wei was in no hurry.

After all, Xia Ningxue had signed a contract with him.

They were connected in countless ways!

He closed his eyes and calmed his mind.

He could clearly feel Xia Ningxue's location.

Currently, Xia Ningxue was still at the Special Management Department.

She was preparing for the upcoming mission.

Luo Wei ate his meal unhurriedly, intending to follow her after she set out.

Just then, a flash of yellow light appeared from a distance—the bad luck talisman had returned!

Yesterday, Luo Wei had placed the bad luck talisman on Zhang Meiru's mother.

The return of the bad luck talisman meant that the rural shrew was dead.

Luo Wei put away the bad luck talisman, not giving the matter another thought.

After finishing lunch and waiting for a bit, Xia Ningxue moved out.

Luo Wei immediately drove after her.

At this moment, Xia Ningxue was sitting in a business van.

She had changed into a black uniform, with a handgun holstered at her waist and the latest model of an automatic rifle in her hands.

Luo Li sat beside her, staring at the majestic rifle in Xia Ningxue's hands, her mouth practically watering.

Although she was also an official member of the Special Management Department, she hadn't received professional firearms training.

Therefore, she naturally wasn't qualified to use any firearms!

After envying Xia Ningxue for a while,

she looked toward the captain, Feng Rui, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

Her expression was very serious. "Captain, I don't think firearms will be useful against the things inside Kaixuan City!"

Feng Rui retorted with a stern face, "If we don't use guns, what should we use? Talismans?"

"Exactly!" Luo Li nodded earnestly. "We can use talismans, black dog blood, black donkey hooves..."

"Stop!" Feng Rui's face darkened with frustration as she cut Luo Li off.

Even though she was a captain in the Special Management Department,

Feng Rui didn't believe in the existence of ghosts or supernatural things!

"Luo Li, stop saying such alarmist things!"

"Xia Ningxue, you're with Luo Li. Look out for each other!"

The business van was fast and didn't take long to arrive at the abandoned Kaixuan City residential area.

At the weed-choked entrance, one spot was clearly scorched by fire.

That was the mark left by a gunfight some time ago when a Wanted Criminal was dealing with an antique dealer in this place!

Stepping out of the car, Feng Rui didn't immediately order her team to head deep into the complex.

Instead, she arranged for team members to deploy drones to scout the interior.

Seen from high above, Kaixuan City had completely become a paradise for plants!

Half-man-high weeds covered every corner of the neighborhood!

All sorts of trees and vines grew wildly throughout the complex!

One team member couldn't help but complain, "The buildings here have no recycling value at all; it'd be better to just blow them up and level the place!"

Someone else countered, "If those neutrino-like things really exist, even blowing it up won't help. It has to be resolved completely!"

At Feng Rui's command, the drones lowered their altitude and wove between the unfinished buildings.

The footage transmitted back by the drones appeared perfectly normal!

Xia Ningxue offered her optimistic view, "It's been over ten years; maybe the things inside Kaixuan City disappeared long ago!"

Luo Li lowered her voice and whispered, "Actually, the data the Captain gave us on Kaixuan City is incomplete!"

"Over the past decade or so, many people have entered this place and then suffered accidents!"

"Last month, an influencer entered this neighborhood at the urging of his fans."

"Although he made it out safely, he immediately fell seriously ill."

"That influencer is still receiving treatment in the hospital to this day."

Luo Wei, listening from a distance, heard the conversation between Xia Ningxue and Luo Li.

A while ago, he had entered this abandoned residential complex to capture a Wanted Criminal.

Of course, he hadn't gone deep inside back then; he had only stayed on the outskirts for a while.

Luo Wei truly hadn't expected that something eerie had appeared in this abandoned complex as early as ten years ago!

In addition to drones, Xia Ningxue's group also deployed robot dogs to explore the abandoned complex bit by bit.

Luo Wei couldn't contain himself and decided to enter the interior of the abandoned complex to investigate.

Although entering the complex meant he would inevitably be filmed by the Special Management Department's drones,

Luo Wei didn't care; after all, he could change his face!

He put on the illusion mask and changed his appearance.

Luo Wei entered the weed-choked Kaixuan City complex from another direction.

The drones immediately captured Luo Wei's figure, but Xia Ningxue's group didn't notice.

At this moment, their attention was drawn to the robot dog they had just released!

The robot dog had entered the complex's underground garage.

However, after going only a dozen meters deep,

the footage sent back by the robot dog was filled with static, as if it were being interfered with by something!

Then, the screen flickered and went pitch black!

The team members lost control of the robot dog!

"Captain, there's something happening in the underground garage!"

Luo Wei, who had already entered the complex, keenly overheard this.

He ducked into a building without hesitation and then followed the fire stairs down into the pitch-black underground garage.

Of course, in the eyes of an ordinary person, the underground garage was a void of darkness.

But Luo Wei was no ordinary person.

His eyes could see everything clearly even in pitch-black environments.

The underground garage of Kaixuan City was vast, flooded with stagnant water where many fish were swimming.

The garage walls were covered in moss and dense vines, while rows of bats hung upside down from the ceiling!

A faint-hearted person witnessing this scene would surely be scared out of their wits.

Luo Wei waded through the water, walking through the massive, gloomy garage.

He activated his Eye of Thoroughness and used his Intelligence Eye.

He looked around as he walked.

Suddenly, a speck of light flashed across the ceiling!

Luo Wei couldn't see what that speck of light was at all.

The bats hanging from the ceiling were startled, and a massive swarm of them rushed toward Luo Wei like a black wind!

Luo Wei nimbly dodged to the side, avoiding contact with those filthy things that carried numerous pathogens.

After the swarm of bats passed Luo Wei, they didn't fly back!

Instead, they flew toward the garage exit!

At that moment, Xia Ningxue's group was just about to enter the gloomy garage!

The sudden eruption of the bat swarm caught them completely off guard!

Bats are supposed to rely on ultrasound to avoid obstacles!

But those bats were all crashing into them with a barrage of thuds!

Fortunately, they were fully equipped with helmets, or the consequences would have been unthinkable!

Even so, they still instinctively dodged and flailed their arms, trying to drive away the attacking bats.

When the swarm passed, they were all dazed—the teammates beside them had vanished!

Not only was there no signal on their communication devices, but they also couldn't speak!

It was as if their pressure points had been struck, or they were under an immobilization spell!

Their consciousness was perfectly clear!

But their bodies couldn't move, and they couldn't make a sound!

Around them was a pitch-black darkness where they couldn't see their own hands, and a deathly silence where all things were still!

Every one of them felt as if they had been abandoned by the entire world; the sensation was truly terrifying...
