In the room opposite Yu Zhao's office, a middle-aged man with a beard smoked a cigarette and his eyes were glued to the mobile phone in front of him.

He is Zou Li, the leader of the investigator team responsible for containing Yu Zhao. During that operation, he was confronted with unprecedented circumstances. D-3, the virtual monster that was supposed to appear, has disappeared, most likely dead.

As the only person who was able to hunt D-3, Yu Zhao, lost his trace after that.

It was three hours after it reappeared in the eyes of the surveillance personnel.

This is a grave mistake for the investigators, as the three-hour disappearance of a heavily infected person is enough to trigger a city-shattering crisis. According to the regulations, he should have been dismissed from his post and sent to the Black Tower of the Abyss, and served for three years under the watchful eye of the Dreaded Demon.

This is one of the most severe punishments imposed by the Bureau of Investigation, more brutal than the death penalty.

For no Awakened has been documented to remain sane under the watchful eye of the Dreadnosaur until the end of their sentence. Even Ellen Stens, the strongest heretic who had nearly collapsed the Bureau of Investigation, had gone mad after a year of service, living in fear.

However, because of the events in the alley and Yu Zhao's extremely suspicious state after reappearing, when Zou Li reported it, his boss did not order punishment, but asked Zou Li to lead the team to continue to investigate the matter, confirm whether Yu Zhao was dangerous, and bring him back to the base if not.

Of course, if any threat to Yu Zhao was found during the investigation, Zou Li was given the right to hunt and kill him on the spot.

"An out-of-control infected person has awakened on his own without relying on rituals." Zou Li spit out a smoke ring, looked at the two people staring at the screen behind him, and asked, "Have you ever encountered this kind of thing?" ”

The bespectacled member sighed, "How could it be, even if this matter reached the ears of those professors at the Perul Academy, they would scoff at it and say ridiculous to drive you away." You, too, are students at the Academy, and you should know that the only people who awaken without the help of rituals are those who are not out of control infection. ”

Another older member shook his head, saying he hadn't seen it.

"Haven't you even seen Uncle Mo?" Zou Li turned his head and complained in a low voice, "It's weird. ”

After talking to his boss, he found that there seemed to be only one answer that could explain many of the doubts that had arisen in Yu Zhao's body—he had awakened his abilities after entering the alley.

Zou Li, like his boss, never believed that Yu Zhao would be able to kill D-3 as an ordinary person.

Yu Zhao must have awakened an extremely powerful ability, and the serial number of this ability should be very high, at least above 20!

One of the purposes of this No. 3 plan is to test Yu Zhao's ability to awaken.

But at the same time, the question is, how can an out-of-control infected person build a channel in his body to allow the void element to circulate steadily?

This is clearly contrary to what he has learned in the academy.

At this moment, Zou Li's mobile phone rang.

After connecting, Ye Xiao's voice came from the opposite side.

"Captain, the third plan has been implemented according to the order, and Yu Zhao has already set off."

"Very well, you go to the target point and wait with the relevant personnel immediately."

"Yes, Captain."

Hanging up the phone, Zou Li extinguished the cigarette butt and said to the two people behind him: "Yu Zhao has already headed for the target point, how are the relevant personnel in the abnormal area arranged." ”

The man with glasses nodded, "The relevant personnel have already been prepared, just wait for Yu Zhao to arrive." ”

"Then let's hurry over too."

The three of them did not go downstairs, but went to the roof.

Come to the top of the building, which is extremely empty.

The man with glasses took off his gloves and patted Zou Li and the other members on the shoulder, and in an instant, a fresh breeze suddenly rose, bringing the three of them to the air at a very fast speed!

[No. 11: Wind Resistant], whose ability is to allow the subject to be contacted to fly in the air for a short period of time, and for non-living organisms, it can manipulate the speed and direction of flight according to self-awareness. The specific ability duration and flight speed vary depending on the ability initiator.

When the trio took off, the more reticent member of the group also used his abilities.

[Serial No. 14: Silent Puppet], which can reduce the sense of presence within a few meters of oneself, and reduce the possibility of being observed. The scope of capabilities and the degree of influence vary from user to user.

Just like that, the three of them quickly flew towards the preset destination!

……

Yu Zhao rode a motorcycle, shuttling through the streets and alleys.

Soon, he came to the clothing store that Li Tong said, the area here looked very prosperous, but I don't know if it was because it was too early, and the street was empty.

The morning sun has not yet come, and all kinds of neon lights are still flickering in the dark.

It's just that looking at the clothing store that sells custom dresses, Yu Zhao feels depressed and inexplicably gloomy.

The décor is completely different from the surroundings, like a group of young people indulgent on the dance floor, stuffed into the square dance of an old man who is about to die.

"Sure enough, it's a virtual monster that is about to come."

Park your car and put your helmet in the trunk.

Yu Zhao walked into this clothing store indifferently.

……

"Yu Zhao has entered the target area, and all relevant personnel are ready." Zou Li had been waiting for a long time, and he took back the supreme control from Ye Xiao.

He commanded through the intercom, "Device group, turn off the containment device, and allow the Void Monster to complete the invasion." ”

With Zou Li's order, several light blue electric lights spread in the air, and a transparent cover with a radius of ten meters with the clothing store as the center could be seen disintegrating.

This is the device used by the Bureau of Investigation to curb the invasion of the Void Monsters, and is responsible for dealing with those infected who cannot be contained in time, and within the influence of this device, the Void Monsters cannot completely invade the real world, and can only continue to cling to the infected people.

Its presence greatly increases the efficiency of the Bureau's containment, as well as the chance of infection spreading.

Previously, on the way back to the office after Yu Zhao left the psychological clinic, Zou Li's team installed this device. However, due to Yu Zhao's sudden change of course, the plan failed.

Looking at the clothing store, Zou Li clenched the metal suitcase in his hand.

If Yu Zhao can make it out of the clothing store alive, he proves his conjecture right, and Yu Zhao completes his awakening in that alley and kills D-3.

It's just that he still doesn't want to believe that an out-of-control infected person can wake up.

"What kind of miracle will you bring to me? Yu Zhao! ”

……

Entering the store, it is a very quaint-looking clothing store, and various fabrics are piled up in the cupboard above the store, revealing a part for customers to choose from.

On both sides of the aisle are ready-to-wear that other guests have already ordered, which has been wrapped in transparent plastic to keep out the air. However, you can still see through the packaging bag that the owner's craftsmanship is very good.

At this moment, the shopkeeper is making a dress at the workbench in front of the door.

The old man was very nimble, but he didn't seem to care that the needles of the sewing machine were sewing the thread to his hands.

Click, click......

Bloody.

He didn't seem to feel any pain, and his face was full of contentment, a crazy smile.

"Sew up, sew up, sew up!"

Accompanied by the sound of the sewing machine working, the shopkeeper's mouth kept muttering with pleasure.

A severely infected person is completely hopeless.

Seeing this, Yu Zhao took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it elegantly.

Although he had dealt with too many such infected, he couldn't help but feel sad for the weakness of humanity every time he saw it.

And all you can do is help them get free.

and hunt more Void Monsters.

After exhaling a cloud of smoke.

He took out a folding knife and hid it behind him, and with a calm and even indifferent expression, he approached the crazy shopkeeper.
