The system is four years ahead of schedule, but Weird is still a cub.

The top of the fleshy pillar split open, forming a bottomless, enormous mouth covered with spiraling, sharp teeth.

On the surface of the fleshy pillar, countless white worms as thick as buckets poked their heads out, emitting sharp hissing sounds, their compound eyes fixed on the people on the rooftop.

The strange energy fluctuations it emitted had reached the peak of the fifth rank and were still climbing, seemingly poised to complete the sixth rank transformation at any moment.

"It's an aggregate of those insects! Prepare for battle!" Yang Yuxin shouted sharply. The team members instantly went into battle mode, pointing their guns and weapons at the terrifying monster.

Shen Ge's eyes were icy, and his arm around the girl was as steady as a rock.

He looked at the worm aggregate that exuded terrifying pressure, but instead of showing fear, a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Just blew up a heart, and now a punching bag has been delivered? Fine..." His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly pierced through the howling wind and the monster's roar, carrying a powerful confidence that looked down on everything. "Perfect for stretching my muscles and seeing what else this hellhole is hiding!"

Before he finished speaking, the strange energy around him suddenly erupted, and the two strange domains, no, this time three strange domains, spread out at the same time, covering the entire rooftop.

The area that maintains the "protection" of the girl is an invisible ghost domain that can form an invisible hand that can crush the target, and an unburnable ghost domain that can control the target's "ignition point".

The appearance of the Three Ghost Domains indicates that Shen Ge intends to fight quickly and finish off the disgusting "Insect Pillar" in front of him as soon as possible.

The next second, the air on the rooftop seemed to freeze.

“Squeak——!!!”

The enormous worm aggregate, radiating the pressure of a peak fifth-order being and undergoing mutation towards the sixth order, emitted an unprecedented, agonizing, and distorted scream.

However, the next second, its massive body suddenly froze, and the countless protruding worm heads twitched and swayed wildly, their compound eyes filled with unbelievable horror and instinctive fear.

In the eyes of Yang Yuxin and the other team members, Shen Ge simply stood there, staring coldly at the terrifying monster, without making any extra movements, and then the scene that they would never forget happened!
The indestructible worm aggregate, radiating terrifying pressure, was as if it were being violently torn apart from the inside by an invisible hand.

"Puff! Puff! Puff!"

On the surface of the fleshy pillar, countless white worms as thick as buckets burst open without warning, and dark green juice and bits of flesh splattered everywhere like fireworks.

At the same time, a dull, loud noise, like a pressure cooker exploding, came from inside the strange aggregate. It was an energy implosion caused by the unseen hand forcibly tearing apart its core strange energy structure after it had been "heart-ripped out".

The massive fleshy column trembled and convulsed violently, like a mollusk whose bones had been removed, disintegrating and collapsing inch by inch, starting from the giant mouth at the top covered with spiraling teeth.

Immediately afterwards, with a hissing sound, the limp and eerie aggregate inexplicably "spontaneously combusted".

There was no earth-shattering collision, no dazzling energy explosion, only a suffocating, crushing dismemberment and spontaneous combustion.

Just three seconds!

Just three seconds!

The worm aggregate that had just been radiating terrifying pressure and seemed capable of devouring everything had completely turned into a huge, limp mass of flesh lying on the ground, convulsing, bubbling, and burning.

A strong, pungent stench and a burnt smell filled the air, and the eerie energy emanating from it dissipated rapidly like a deflated balloon.

Yang Yuxin and her teammates were completely stunned, their mouths slightly open and their eyes wide open, as if they had witnessed a myth.

The mature giant insects they fought tooth and nail to defeat were like ants before Shen Ge. And this fifth-tier peak aggregate that filled them with despair... couldn't even last three seconds against Shen Ge?

This is no longer a difference in strength, this is a crushing defeat on a dimensional level!

They finally understood the weight of the words "the world's number one pair of ghost detectives." It was a power that even surpassed the limits of human imagination. No wonder there was such a legend circulating in the department—as long as Captain Shen was there, even hell could be turned into a smooth road!
This "metaphor" is not an exaggeration at all, because for ordinary anti-terror warriors like them, even without multiple anti-terror spaces, a simple anti-terror space is a hellish existence!
Shen Ge's expression remained unchanged, as if he were merely brushing away a speck of dust. However, he did not let his guard down; instead, he immediately looked up at the sky.

As the worm aggregate disintegrated, the thick, suffocating black mist of eerie energy that had been shrouding the rooftop suddenly surged violently.

"Crack——!"

A crisp sound, like shattering glass, suddenly rang out in the silent void.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, the dark sky above, as thick as ink, was covered with huge, spiderweb-like cracks, as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer.

The cracks spread and widened rapidly, and a blinding, pale light, not from natural light, shone through them. Through those crisscrossing, enormous cracks, Yang Yuxin and her team saw a sight that made their scalps tingle and almost made them scream.

Beyond the crack, there was not a starry sky, but six other equally dark voids.

And in those six empty spaces, six skyscrapers, identical to the one beneath their feet, were suspended, emitting a sickly, eerie light.

On the rooftop of each building stands a massive, twisted, and terrifyingly powerful worm-like column of flesh.

Seven lonely buildings!

Seven pillars of insects!

Like seven evil hearts beating in a dark ocean.

"hiss……"

Gasps of shock filled the air; the team members were pale and their bodies were ice-cold. Yang Yuxin also felt a chill run from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.

This bizarre sight is more despairing than any single monster.

"Is this... the real multidimensional ghost space?" Yang Yuxin murmured to herself. Although she had experienced several ghost spaces after becoming a ghost warrior, there were at least some patterns to follow. She had never seen a dark void that exuded such deep despair as today.

Shen Ge's expression also turned serious; his previous guess had been brutally confirmed.

"Little Seven, conduct a reconnaissance and analysis of the strange energy." As Shen Ge spoke, he tried to concentrate his strange energy on the strange eye and look into the deep void.

A moment later, Xiao Qi performed precise calculations and analysis based on the distribution and fluctuations of the eerie black mist in the space. "Master, the eerie energy fluctuations of these seven buildings and seven insect pillars resonate from the same source, forming an extremely stable eerie spatial structure. They seem to collectively constitute the true core pillars of this multi-layered eerie space. Destroying one ventricle or destroying one insect pillar will not only fail to destroy the space, but may also trigger some kind of defense mechanism, making the remaining structure even more stable."

"To completely dismantle this strange space, perhaps... we need to destroy all the insect pillars at the same time," Xiaoqi analyzed.

Destroy all the "insect pillars" at the same time?
Yang Yuxin and her teammates' hearts sank to the bottom. In their eyes, this was an impossible task.

It wasn't that they didn't believe in Shen Ge's abilities, but rather that these seven buildings were suspended in an unknown, dark void, isolated from each other. How could they get there?

Shen Ge's gaze swept over the bottomless dark abyss beneath his feet, and then looked at the other buildings that floated behind the cracks like reflections in a mirror.

Jump?
The endless dark seawater exuded an eerie aura that devoured everything, leaving no possibility of survival.

Fly across? Even Shen Ge's rotten blood tentacles could not possibly cross this void filled with unknown energy turbulence.

The only possibility lies inside this ever-changing building, a living labyrinth.

“Return to the building and find the ‘rift points’ where the spatial distortion is most intense. These rifts are places where the spatial structure is unstable, and they may also be passages connecting other ‘mirror’ buildings.” Shen Ge recalled the situation in the multiple strange spaces in Australia, where spatial rifts became the linking points of each strange space.

If the multiple mysterious spaces in Australia were merely a product of "Crow's" experiment, then the more "advanced" multiple mysterious spaces in Rong City might have similar underlying code. In other words, if we follow the original line of thought to find an exit, we might be able to find a breakthrough.

Shen Ge turned around and looked at the metal door behind him that led into the building.

He carried the little girl and stepped through the door that resembled the gaping maw of a monster, his figure disappearing once more into the writhing flesh and the pervasive black mist.

Yang Yuxin and her teammates suppressed their fear and followed closely. They knew the road ahead was even more treacherous than before, but following that blood-red figure was their only hope. They had to find the rifts leading to other eerie dimensions within this living labyrinth.

The scene inside the building was even more nauseating than before. The chain reaction of the destruction of the heart ventricle and the elimination of the rooftop insect pillars seemed to have completely enraged this "living maze".

The fleshy pipes in the walls and ceiling throbbed with the ferocity of a dying heart, their frequency terrifying. The white fungal carpet covering the ground churned even more violently, and when the bubbles burst, they no longer spewed out white smoke, but a black mist carrying intense corrosiveness and mental pollution.

The pungent, rotten stench that filled the air was almost solidified, making it suffocating.

"Plop! Plop plop plop—!"

More and more deformed, eerie white worms poured out of the fungal carpet and cracks.

Their forms are even more distorted; some have grown bat-like fleshy wings and swoop down in the air with a sharp whistle; some are covered with metallic-looking carapaces and spray acidic liquid with electric arcs from their mouthparts; and some are like giant slugs, gliding on the fungal carpet and leaving behind corrosive mucus trails.

The strange energy fluctuations generally reached the third rank, and even included a small number of elite individuals at the fourth rank.

"Left wing! Swarm of flying insects!"

"Watch out for the ground! Corrosive slime!"

The team members screamed warnings, their nerves stretched to the limit. However, this time, their pressure was much less.

Shen Ge walked at the front, her steps still steady, as if she were not traversing a maze of fleshy walls, but taking a stroll in her own backyard.

Those bizarre phenomena that would have cost Yang Yuxin's team dearly were like paper toys in his eyes, easily torn apart, burned, and annihilated.

He rarely even glanced at the strange creatures, focusing most of his attention on maintaining precise protection for the girl and using his eerie eyes and Xiao Qi's full strength to scan the space for anomalies.

"Stay alert and watch out for any unusual energy fluctuations under your feet and on the walls." With Shen Ge clearing the way, Yang Yuxin calmed down and spoke in a calm voice that pierced through the monster's roar and the sound of flesh being torn apart.

At this moment, Shen Ge added, "What we need to find is the point of violent spatial distortion. The strange energy fluctuations and distortion will be very strong there. Pay attention to the changes in the values ​​of your strange energy detectors."

"understand!"

"Roger that!"

Everyone responded in unison and followed closely, their hearts filled with immense shock.

They looked at Shen Ge's back as if gazing up at an insurmountable mountain. The monsters that filled them with despair couldn't even get close to him in Shen Ge's domain.

This absolute, overwhelming power made them feel incredibly safe, but also brought them a sense of awe that bordered on insignificance.

The team navigated through the flesh and blood maze, following the route planned by Xiao Qi based on the flow of supernatural energy and spatial distortion data. They tried to explore downwards, upwards, and in various directions.

However, the strangeness of the space was far beyond imagination. A staircase that clearly led downwards led to the end, and when the fire door was pushed open, the person found themselves back near the starting point.

An elevator shaft that seemed to lead to the next floor led to a completely unfamiliar warehouse filled with huge fleshy cysts after jumping down.

On one occasion, they even walked through a narrow pipe and came out to find themselves standing on a "plain" made entirely of wriggling white fungal carpets, surrounded by a twisted "forest" of steel bars and flesh, with no trace of the building's structure to be found.

“No… Captain Shen, this space is too chaotic. We feel like we’re going around in a knotted intestine. The surrounding psychic energy is corroding more and more severely, and the oxygen conversion in our combat suits can’t keep up.” A team member gasped, wiping the foul-smelling slime splattered on his face, his voice filled with a desperate exhaustion.

Even with Shen Ge's protection, being in such an extremely oppressive and bizarre environment for a long time would be a huge torment to one's mental health.

Shen Ge stopped in her tracks, her brows furrowed.

The little girl in my arms was breathing so weakly that it was almost gone, and her tiny body was frighteningly cold, as if the faint flame of life would be extinguished at any moment.

This was the "result" after he had Xiao Qi try various things and used up a lot of medical supplies in the strange space.

Without Xiao Qi, the little girl would probably have closed her eyes forever long ago.

"Little Seven, recalibrate. Eliminate all interference from conventional paths and focus on scanning the area with the deepest spatial 'folds' and the highest energy 'noise.' Don't worry about the direction, just find the most 'abnormal' point." Shen Ge decided to use "collapse" to clear a path and head straight for the crack.

"Yes, Master. Refocusing the scan... High-energy reaction detected inside the wall directly ahead. Approximately 37 meters deep. The spatial curvature anomaly is off the charts, and the energy noise intensity is more than ten times that of other areas." Xiao Qi's voice carried a hint of excitement at finding the target.
