“Major!”

Li Yao hurried to explain, “I’ve detected a very weird high-frequency wave that seems to be able to stimulate the central nerves of human beings directly. It makes them restless and full of fury and desire to attack!

“Yes. I sensed it, too!”

Guan Qixing also asked, “Has the puppet king developed a fifth brain virus besides the Disillusionment, Glory, Taotie, and the Love Virus?”

“It’s not just the brain virus. You don’t have olfactory organs and cannot smell the air.

Chu Zhixiao retracted her gaze from the words that were clearly meant for her and said coldly, “The air is filled with the smell of… burning blood. I could already feel the adrenaline rush without the test. The puppet king was not lying. He had indeed injected a lot of stimulants into the food and water of

the citizens of the Light Sector. However, the ‘lurking period’ of the stimulants was very long. It was not until this moment, when they came in contact with the ‘release drugs’ that they were able to release again, that the stimulants broke out. Their cerebral peptide and adrenaline were secreted crazily,

and they bumt their soul and overdrafted their vitality to trigger the extraordinary combat ability and mobility.

“If this is really the fifth virus, it is simply a hybrid of a brain virus and an ordinary virus. Maybe it can be called ‘Furious Fury’!

“Well—”

Guan Qixing was surprised. “Is it possible? How did the puppet king get so many stimulant drugs?”

“I’s possible. The strength and cunningness of the puppet king are far beyond our imagination.

Chu Zhixiao said, “Maybe, he has hijacked the mainframe crystal processor of Eternal Brightness and can allocate the assets on board at his will. As you know, this is a huge laboratory. Naturally, there are all kinds of raw materials for drugs. As long as he can get them without anybody knowing, he will

have the opportunity to synthesize his formulas and send them into the city through the automated supply line!

At this moment, the roars outside grew louder and louder.

Occasionally, there would be a series of explosions. The glass walls of the skyscrapers would collapse with a loud crash.

‘There was even a loud noise far away, which was probably the sound of the bridge, the arsenal, or the crystal fuel warehouse being wrecked by the puppet king.

Everyone was greatly alarmed.

Yuan Kou’s roars suppressed the screams of the citizens of the Light Sector like rabid dogs for now, but not for long.

“What do we do now?”

‘The crystal cameras on Guan Qixing’s iron mask were blinking crazily. “We still can’t reach the other teams and the soldiers outside. Should we retreat?”

However ‘furyful’ the citizens of Light were, they were still ordinary people after all. With the capability of the yaksha squad, nobody could stop them if they wanted to retreat.

No. I can’t retreat. The ‘Ghost Catching Operation’ is not over yet!

Chu Zhixiao couldn’t help but raise his head again. Staring at the line of words in midair that read ‘awakening from a dream’, he gnashed his teeth. “The puppet king is trying to take advantage of the chaos and run away. Although the entire Well World has been blocked by us, who knows what will happen

if he escapes from Eternal Brightness?

“Now that we’ve confronted him face to face, there is no reason for us to run away. We must stall him until the troops outside find a solution!”

“But”

Guan Qixing anxiously said, “The environment outside is so chaotic. We don’t even know where the puppet king is hiding. How are we going to stall him?”

“Don’t worry.”

Chu Zhixiao sniffed. “We don’t need to go to the puppet king. He will come to us himself!”

BOOM!

An earsplitting explosion occurred. It was the sound of the gate of the Sail Academy being broken through.

“Let’s go. We can’t stay here any longer. Move now!”

Chu Zhixiao said, “The citizens of Light outside are very troublesome. Their combat ability is not a problem. But right now, they have all become terrifying sources of ‘infections’. Who knows whether or not there are even more terrifying viruses inside their brains? They might even be directly controlled by

the puppet king and become a springboard to invade our brains! Red Pig, search the map of Bright City and find the most suitable shelter. The rest of you, stay alert and watch out for the puppet king’s illusions!

‘When they left the crystal processor center, they saw thousands of citizens of Light flooding toward them.

Right now, the ocean of celebration half an hour ago had turned into a bloody swirl.

Stimulated by the ‘Furious Virus’, the fair, fat citizens had even undergone physiological mutations and turned into rampaging rhinos, hippos, and boars.

Bewildered and guided by the puppet king, they rose up and searched for traces of the arrest squad. Once they found them, they would be surrounded by thousands of people who punched, kicked, and even bit them without any fear of death. No matter how strong the purifiers and cleaners were, they

would be killed by such a crazy torrent.

Besides, there were also illusions and viruses.

Even if a special forces soldier of the God Bless Army had the combat ability equal to the Core Formation Stage and could fight his way out of the crazy citizens, when the puppet king took advantage of the situation and invaded his brain, making him see unbelievable illusions and even strangling his soul,

he could only wait to be captured and killed.

Very soon, several arrest teams were wiped out and became the victims of the citizens’ fury.

Some of the purifiers and cleaners were even infected by the frenzy and turned into puppets of the ‘Furious Virus’ after their brains were broken through by the puppet king. Their eyes were bloodshot at first, but they soon lost their rationality and loyalty and turned into the most dangerous animals. They

tore at their companions mercilessly and turned more of them into their own kind.

‘The yaksha squad fought and retreated. The four members and Li Yao, the support spider tank, were soon dispersed by the surging crowd.

“It seems that the ‘Furious Virus’ is the real treasure of the puppet king!

‘The mental devil exclaimed, “To be able to improve the combat ability of an ordinary person to such an extent with intense fury and desire for killing in such a short period of time… It’s incredible. It’s… marvelous! But why do I feel that such an exciting way is very familiar?”

“Isn’t that exactly what you are doing?”

Li Yao exclaimed, “The set that the Blood Stripe Virus spread out to infect people. The set that Yan Xibei made on Iron Plateau!”

“That’s right. This is clearly my specialty. How come the puppet king knows it, too? It seems to have been modified quite a bit. I don’t need blood as a medium. I can just stimulate it with brainwaves?”

The mental devil was dazed for a moment and cursed, “I know it now. It must’ve been Lu Qingchen who stole our souls when we were engaged in a fierce battle in the mental world on ‘Black Swirl’.

“Do you remember? In the battle, we absorbed a lot of negative emotions such as darkness, blood, and cruelty from Lu Qingchen’s soul, which were of great help to my Cultivation in the future? I didn’t expect that he would absorb a lot of our essence when we were absorbing him, too. Not only that, he

even improved himself and condensed stronger crystals. The guy is truly a genius!

“Why do you say that the battle was weird?”

Li Yao shouted, “Forget it. Since his ‘Furious Virus’ is based on the infection pattern of the Blood Stripe Virus, can we find out where the guy is hiding?”

“It will be very difficult. The guy has already modified the secret arts of the Blood Stripe Virus beyond recognition and concealed them well. Besides, we cannot expose our identity. We cannot be discovered by him or the people of the Sanctuary. Time. I need time!”

The mental devil paused for a moment and suddenly raised its voice. “Wait. Where is Chu Zhixiao?”

Li Yao’s soul rippled rapidly.

Only then did he realize that he had been separated from the main troops.

Or rather, the five members of ‘four plus one’ of the yaksha squad had been dispersed by the surging and burning crowds.

Thankfully, Li Yao looked like an ordinary spider tank, which had been painted glamorously and even had two big, watery eyes on the back. It was unbelievably cute.

Even the puppet king did not take him seriously. He was not on the ‘hunting list’.

Therefore, most of the citizens of the Light Sector did not even bother to look at him in the eye. As long as he crawled down obediently with his head in his hands, the crowds would simply pass by him and hunt more valuable targets.

But Chu Zhixiao’s roars, Yuan Kou’s roars, and Guan Qixing’s crazily spreading information all indicated that they were in a very bad situation.

Sneakily and stealthily, Li Yao crawled towards the direction of Chu Zhixiao’s howl without alarming anyone. Soon, he found Chu Zhixiao’s wrist crystal processor, which had been stomped into pieces.

Suppressed by the puppet king, the wrist crystal processor was no longer of any use. It could be hacked at any moment and become a burden.

Li Yao scanned the 3D map of the downtown area quickly in his crystal processor. He didn’t miss any of the buildings or the underground tubes. He found three places where Chu Zhixiao was most likely to hide. Then, he distinguished the traces of his brainwaves in the air and crawled toward one of them.

After he got rid of the portable crystal processor, the puppet king was not able to lock onto Chu Zhixiao’s location in theory. The citizens of the Light Sector, who had been caught in a rage, were not very good at searching. Their search was getting less and less frequent. The main reason was that they

were all attracted by Yuan Kuo, the ‘titan’.

Very soon, deep inside a low, unfinished building, Li Yao found Chu Zhixiao.

But at this moment, Chu Zhixiao seemed to have fallen into an unpredictable nightmare. His eyes were wide open, and he was mumbling and waving his dagger, attacking the invisible enemies in the air.

“Not good. Chu Zhixiao has been fooled!”

‘The mental waves of the mental devil were suddenly agitated. “Extremely mysterious ripples are everywhere in the air. They are the mental attacks of Lu Qingchen, the puppet king. Chu Zhixiao has been tied up!”

Li Yao seemed to have been discovered.

Invisible ripples slithered toward Li Yao like transparent vipers..
