Toyotomi Lumen looked at the picture in the synchronous surveillance video and said towards the walkie-talkie.

He was outside the Ukiyo-e Research Institute at the moment, in a car that had undergone anomalous specialization.

Through the display, he could see that in the dim corridor, Qiao Du was shot to death, and the little witch under him was also wounded by a gunshot, and red blood was flowing from her legs.

Toyotomi Lumen didn't know why these two people were here, and many thoughts flashed through his heart, but there was not so much time to pursue them at the moment.

Whatever the reason for Joe's appearance, he's dead.

It's a pity that the silver sparrow, who is good at demagoguery and dominates others, finally died under the bullets of guns and cannons that cannot communicate.

"It just so happens that since there are shrine maidens from Washima Taisha here, it also saves the effort of finding sacrifices."

He muttered, then spoke into the walkie-talkie.

"The man is completely solved, and the woman is brought down."

"Roger."

The armed man responded, and then kicked the limp Qiao Dui's body away, and shot him twice more in the head.

Another armed man dragged the little witch up, her face was pale, and the wounds on her thighs and abdomen were gushing with blood, reducing her consciousness, and if she left it alone, she would have completely stopped breathing due to excessive blood loss after a while.

"Keep moving."

The two armed men trapped the little witch's hand with a plastic strap, dragged her forward, and walked downstairs.

Toyotomi Lumens in the car stared into the monitor, and he saw the melted corpses in the corridor and the dead in protective clothing in the staircase.

"You can only blame you for being here."

Toyotomi Lumen whispered.

He picked up the document in his hand, it was all in English, and naturally, he could read it.

This is an investigation report sent by the Waste Capital Group, which shows that the pollution within the Ukiyo-san Research Institute has caused alienation, and it is necessary to provide sacrifices to alleviate it, and the best sacrifice is naturally the Chosen One.

The Waste Capital Group provides the most sophisticated equipment that can temporarily protect ordinary people from the invasion of pollution, in short, replacing ordinary sight and hearing with mechanical perceptual scans to reduce the effects of anomalies.

Because ordinary people don't have any psychic vision in the first place, if it weren't for this anomaly specialized by the Chosen One, they wouldn't even be able to see the existence below the abyss, so this set of equipment takes advantage of this, shielding most of the user's perception, at least for a short time, they have the ability to act in a high-depth anomaly area like the Ukiyo Mountain Research Institute.

Yes, these armed men are ordinary people, to be precise, trained special forces.

They don't know the specific situation of the target of this operation, according to Toyotomi Lumen's idea, after these armed people arrive at the lowest level of the Ukiyo-e Mountain Research Institute, they will become sacrifices this time, and now there is a little witch, and the effect should be better.

"In any case, this is just a delaying tactic."

Toyotomi Lumen is well aware that the anomalies of the Ukiyo-e Mountain Research Institute are no longer under control, and there are not only the anomalies in their later research, but also the "Imperial Divine Body" accumulated over thousands of years before the Washima Taisha Shrine, and in such an environment, the anomalously polluted area will only get larger and larger, and eventually cover the entire territory of the island.

As for the Wasteland Group that provides support behind all this, the original idea was to let the Hedao culture control the pollution, and they could continue to do some experiments here that were inconvenient for other forces to know, and at the moment that the Ukiyo Mountain had completely fallen, all the researchers of the Wasteland Group had withdrawn, and it was enough to delay the spread of pollution here.

Fortunately, the Toyotomi family had already purchased an industry on the side of the Wasteland Group, and even if the island itself fell, they could leave here and go to the jurisdiction of the Wasteland Group to continue their lives.

In Toyotomi Lumen's view, the Chosen One can live one day at a time, and one day he may die in a foreign land during the mission.

Therefore, when you are alive, you must treat yourself well, and those who run for the sake of ordinary people are fools.

He continued to look at the monitor.

Footage relayed through an electronic device shows the sight of going downstairs.

The closer you get to the fourteenth floor, the colder the stairwell becomes.

By the time they reached the thirteenth floor, even the corpses were gone.

The little witch was confused, she seemed to be aware of something, but the dizziness and weakness caused by the excessive blood loss enveloped her head, and she was groggy and unable to think.

She was dragged out of an intermittent trail of blood, and descended the stairs to the lowest level of the Ukiyo-e Institute.

The armed man at the head was named Mukai, and he glanced back at the little witch to make sure she was still alive.

The frozen air was soaked with the smell of blood, and Mukai suddenly felt as if something was passing behind him.

He immediately turned around, but in the night vision goggles, he could only see his companion and the appearance of the dying little witch.

His gaze wandered, and he turned his head and continued to look ahead.

At this moment, Mukai found that in the night vision device, a person was standing at the staircase in front.

Without thinking about it, he immediately raised the gun in his hand and fired three shots, two shots in the body and one in the head.

But after pulling the trigger, Mukai saw that the man was missing again.

"What's wrong?"

The sound of Toyotomi lumens came from the headphones.

"Report, I seem to see someone."

Mukai replied, staring warily ahead.

"People"

Toyotomi Lumen didn't see anyone else in the surveillance screen just now, and he stared at the screen suspiciously, thinking for a moment.

"Don't care, keep moving, stay focused."

Then he commanded.

"It seems that even the best equipment cannot completely shield against pollution."

He believed that it was the pollution from the lowest level of the Ukiyo-e Mountain Research Institute that gradually infiltrated the equipment and affected these ordinary people.

The armed men moved quickly, and they came to the entrance to the fourteenth basement floor.

The rods were first thrown into the hall, causing them to glow in blood.

Curiously, although it has been theoretically mothballed for 12 years, there is no lack of oxygen, but rather that the air is frozen and still in the same way as it was 12 years ago.

The searchlight on the side of the gun reflected the room at the other end, and the destroyed iron door made people wonder what kind of force could destroy it, and Mukai walked in front, illuminating the inside of the iron door, but finding nothing special.

Walking into the door, Mukai suddenly felt someone blow softly in his ear.

He immediately looked sideways to check, but saw nothing.

Behind him, another armed man lit a light rod and held it aloft.

It was only then that everyone could see the scene of this huge room clearly.

In the center of the room is an operating table with complex instruments, and on one side, what is covered with a canvas is curious.

Mukai asks his companion to throw the little witch onto the operating table, and blood flows down the floor, filling the air with the smell of blood.

"Check what the cloth covers."

Toyotomi lumens instructions came from the headphones.

"Roger."

Xiang Jing replied and asked another armed man to go and check it out.

The man approached cautiously, reached out and grabbed a corner of the canvas and lifted it.
