Chapter 398 The Dark World, I'm Back Again

Ma Biao's smile froze.

He paused for two seconds, then flew into a rage, slammed his hand on the table, and stood up:
"Zhuo Feng! You're fucking slandering me! I'm utterly loyal to the organization, what right do you have to defame me?"

"slander?"

Zhuo Feng's lips curled into a disdainful smile:

"Just now, you tried to contact your upline, didn't you?"

"You surnamed Zhuo, you've always disliked me, but you don't need to make up such a lame excuse to smear me!"

Enraged, Ma Biao ripped off his floral shirt and threw it hard on the ground.

"Come on, I'll let you search me all you want today, see if I'm carrying any communication devices!"

He spread his arms, revealing his tight white vest and bulging muscles.

She even turned around, struck a few poses, and showed off her figure to the others in the conference room to prove her innocence.

Seeing this, several cadres who were on good terms with him couldn't help but mutter under their breath:

"Director Zhuo, is there some misunderstanding? We trust Lao Ma's character."

"Yes, you can't just say things without evidence..."

Xu Hao and Chen Chen exchanged a glance in the crowd, both seeing the relief of surviving a disaster in each other's eyes.

At the same time, the two couldn't help but wonder how Ma Biao, the traitor who took the blame for them, had been exposed.

"Don't cry until you see the coffin."

Zhuo Feng snorted coldly, then raised his hand, pressed the communication switch on the headset, and commanded:
"Black Hawk Team, Group A, target: conference room, take control of the scene immediately."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the heavy double doors of the conference hall were kicked open.

As footsteps sounded, a group of pursuers dressed in black combat uniforms and carrying assault rifles poured in, blocking the entrance completely.

The tactical scope, flashing red light on the muzzle, locked onto everyone present.

The atmosphere in the meeting room instantly plummeted to freezing point; all the cadres and leaders looked at each other, speechless with fear.

In the oppressive silence, only the crisp sound of gun parts clashing could be heard.

"What are you doing? Trying to torture me to extract a confession?"

Ma Biao's expression changed repeatedly, but he remained defiant, saying:
“I have rendered meritorious service to the organization, and I have shed blood for my superiors! Do you think you can convict an eighth-level cadre with just a few words?”

He stuck out his neck, adopting a shameless stance of refusing to admit anything.

Zhuo Feng curled his lip and looked at him as if he were looking at a dead man.

"Old horse."

Feng Jincai, who was standing to the side at a leisurely pace, patted the metal box in his hand and slowly walked forward.

"To tell you the truth, we deliberately set up this trap today in order to catch you, this deeply hidden mole, just to lure you out of your hole."

"For this reason, Minister Luo specially invited an inspector from headquarters, who is Master Jasangyi, who interviewed you back then."

“He is a dignified A-level mental ability user, capable of monitoring the consciousness fluctuations of everyone present in real time. If you wish, I can arrange for him to personally read your memories.”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Accessing memories is more chilling than any physical torture, a fate worse than death.

Even the slightest mistake could turn the victim into a complete idiot.

"So, are you still going to try to deny it?"

Feng Jincai spoke casually, a cat-and-mouse smile playing on his lips:

"Oh, by the way, that mysterious guest you secretly contacted has probably already been taken down by Minister Luo himself."

It seemed to be to confirm his words.

From below the building, a series of gunshots could be faintly heard, short and dense, like a string of exploding firecrackers.

Immediately afterwards, the marble floor tiles beneath everyone's feet began to shake slightly.

Even after being weakened by the building's layered structure, the tremors were still noticeable.

Clearly, a fierce battle is breaking out deep within the experimental area downstairs.

Ma Biao's face turned deathly pale instantly.

He knew that he was finished.

The next second, all the anger and astonishment on his face vanished without a trace, replaced by an almost insane ferocity.

"Now that you've discovered us, let's all die together!"

He let out a roar that sounded inhuman, and his vest and trousers were instantly torn apart.

With a ripping sound, shreds of torn fabric flew everywhere.

Ma Biao's muscles swelled rapidly, and thick black hair quickly covered his body like moss.

The bones emitted a teeth-grinding "crackling" sound, and with a sharp cracking sound, the ten fingers transformed into sharp, gleaming beast claws.

In just two seconds, a werewolf over two and a half meters tall, exuding a ferocious aura, appeared in the conference room!
"catch him!"

Zhuo Feng shouted sternly.

The other cadres, however, seemed at a loss amidst this series of shocking changes.

Some people were mindful of past relationships, while others knew they were not up to the task, and not one of them stepped forward.

In their view, Ma Biao was a high-ranking cadre of the eighth level, and if anyone should be taking action, it should be the two big shots, Zhuo Feng and Feng Jincai.

boom! boom! boom!
The pursuers in the front row reacted quickly and immediately raised their guns and opened fire.

Flames shot out from the muzzle, and the bullets hit the target accurately, making a dull "thud".

It merely embedded itself in thick muscle, splattering a few drops of blood, but was far from causing fatal damage.

Ma Biao, in his werewolf form, was covered in bullet holes, yet seemed to feel no pain.

With a single swipe of his claw, the heavy conference table was torn open with a huge gash as if it were made of paper.

He lifted half a table to block subsequent bullets and slammed it down on the nearest pursuers and officials.

Before they could react, they were swept away by the immense force, crashing heavily into the wall, spitting out blood, their fate unknown.

Feng Jincai remained standing in the same spot, his expression calm.

This is the top floor of the Noah Building. There are many officials in the conference hall, and the corridors are full of well-equipped guards. Minister Luo will be coming up soon.

In his view, Ma Biao's actions were at most a last-ditch resistance, a death throes.

"court death!"

A cold glint flashed in Zhuo Feng's eyes, and his already sharp eyes suddenly burst forth with a dazzling silver light.

Two scorching beams of light shot out from his pupils, hissing as they burned the air, heading straight for Ma Biao's chest.

Wherever it passed, the temperature soared, and even the air seemed to distort.

However, Ma Biao's seemingly clumsy body was surprisingly agile.

He slid to the side and narrowly avoided the beam attack.

The two beams of light grazed his shoulders and instantly pierced through a marble pillar behind him.

Like cutting tofu, it left two charred holes with melting edges.

The enormous werewolf let out a wild laugh and, instead of retreating, charged forward into the crowd.

Zhuo Feng's gaze followed his figure as the beam of light relentlessly pursued him.

Many cadres and leaders were so frightened that they scattered in all directions to avoid danger.

Xu Hao and Chen Chen were among them.

Xu Hao, in particular, fell face-first to the ground in a disheveled state.

He cursed Ma Biao inwardly, thinking, "Has Ma Biao lost his mind? If you want to drag someone down with you, don't drag your own brothers down with you!"
But Ma Biao did not go on a killing spree, nor did he try to break out through the door in the chaos. Instead, he crashed straight into the huge floor-to-ceiling window!

"He wanted to jump off a building!"

Someone exclaimed, their voice trembling.

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines; this was the 90th floor, over 300 meters high!
No matter how powerful Ma Biao becomes after his transformation, he'll still turn into a pile of meat patties if he falls.

Bang!
The tempered glass curtain wall, under the powerful impact of the werewolf, lasted less than half a second before emitting a deafening roar.

Countless shards of glass flew in all directions like ice crystals, reflecting the lights in the conference hall.

Ma Biao's massive body, caught in the wind and rain, plunged into the high sky outside the window without hesitation.

Everyone in the conference room froze in place.

"Zhuo Feng, Feng the Skinflint, I'll be back—to settle the score with you!"

The howling turbulence in the sky tore Ma Biao's roar apart, and it was quickly swallowed up as he plummeted downwards.

Through the broken window, the wind and rain poured in, soaking the people closest to it.

The light in Zhuo Feng's eyes slowly dimmed, ending the release of his power, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face. The metal box in Feng Jincai's hand clattered to the ground.

His face turned ashen, and he rushed to the window.

The fish that fell into the net managed to escape in this way. If Minister Luo were to blame him, he wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.

"Brother Biao... is he that ruthless?"

Xu Hao was also stunned, his mouth half-open and twitching slightly.

In an instant, the conference hall went from chaotic and noisy to completely silent.

Just when everyone thought the matter was over.

Suddenly, a slight buzzing sound came from the ceiling, and the air rippled as if on the surface of water.

Pfft!
A heavy object fell from the ceiling, accompanied by countless shards of glass, and crashed onto the marble floor.

"Oh-"

Then, a painful groan rang out, the voice sounding all too familiar.

Everyone looked intently.

What fell from the ceiling was a person.

And... it was Ma Biao, who just jumped off the building!

At this moment, he had transformed back into human form and was lying sprawled on the ground, baring his teeth.

I just swore that I would come back to settle accounts with you.

Only a few seconds have passed, and they're really back so quickly?

More importantly, how exactly did he fall from the sky? Could he possibly fly?

Everyone was so astonished they couldn't close their mouths, their minds went blank, completely unable to comprehend what was happening before their eyes.

Ma Biao was so disoriented from the fall that he lay on the ground for a long time, unable to recover and thus unable to answer their questions.

"Hey, look outside!"

Xu Hao suddenly pointed out the window and shouted, "How did it suddenly turn pitch black?"

Everyone looked up one after another, gazing at the broken French window.

Outside the window, the city night view, which should have been brightly lit, was now pitch black.

Those towering skyscrapers, those dazzling neon lights, those bustling streets—all of them have vanished.

Only the rain continued to fall from the night sky, pattering against the broken windowpane.

The whole world seemed to be completely covered by a huge black cloth, leaving only endless darkness.

This sudden and bizarre scene was even more chilling than the previous scene of catching the mole.

"power cut?"

One of the officials asked instinctively.

"impossible!"

Chen Chen frowned and retorted softly, "How could such a large city as Dongdu possibly experience a city-wide power outage?"

Liu Yu also muttered a few words:

"Yes, the Noah Building is perfectly fine, isn't it? Our lights are still on."

Before he finished speaking, the crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling suddenly emitted a buzzing sound and the light flickered a few times.

The dim light in the conference hall made everyone's hearts tighten.

"Get out of the way!"

Zhuo Feng pushed aside the person blocking his way, strode to the French window, and peered down through the hole.

A thick, grayish-white fog filled the outside, obscuring the lower half of the glass curtain wall of the Noah Building.

Even with his extraordinary eyesight, he could only barely see the view from the fourth or fifth floor below.

The mist seemed to be alive, surging upwards from below and swallowing up all the light.

Zhuo Feng frowned, then looked up ahead.

Outside the building, the entire world was shrouded in endless darkness, with no other scenery visible.

The office buildings, overpasses, and bustling streets that should have existed have all disappeared.

At this moment, Noah Building resembles an isolated island standing in a dark ocean.

"Station Master..."

Zhuo Feng withdrew his gaze and looked at Feng Jincai, who had been observing for a long time, with a puzzled expression.

Feng Jincai squinted, his fat face devoid of any smile.

He pressed his lips together, and after a long pause, he slowly uttered a sentence:

“I have a bad feeling that we may have… entered some kind of ‘other world’.”

"The Other World?"

Zhuo Feng was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

Feng Jincai suddenly turned to look at him, his tone slightly urgent:

"Zhuo Feng, contact Minister Luo immediately and ask him about the situation in the experimental zone!"

"it is good."

Zhuo Feng quickly raised his hand and pressed the earpiece to send a call signal.

But all that could be heard was a noisy electrical hum; the signal seemed to be severely interfered with, making it impossible to establish clear communication.

He then switched channels and contacted Black Hawk, the captain in charge of the experimental zone's defense.

But the situation remained the same; only a faint buzzing sound came through the headset, interspersed with faint gunshots and shouts, before the communication was completely cut off.

Just then, a commotion arose near the entrance of the conference hall.

"What's going on? There's so much smoke, who put out a smoke bomb?"

The pursuers, filled with suspicion, raised their guns and pointed them at the door.

Grayish-white mist, like a snake, slithered in from the corridor and quickly spread into the conference hall.

A moment later, a terrified scream suddenly came from the far end of the corridor.

"What the hell is that?"

"Watch out, don't come any closer!"

"Damn it! Fire! Fire now!"

Gunfire erupted suddenly, then abruptly ceased.

Instead, there were chilling cries of laughter and screams.

....................................

The rain curtain hung low, and neon lights flickered, dyeing the night sky of Dongdu a deep indigo.

The streets were bustling with traffic, and the taillights cast flowing ribbons of color on the wet asphalt.

Gao Jin stood quietly on the rooftop of an office building, holding a black umbrella.

Raindrops pattered on the umbrella, making a soft "tap-tap" sound.

As the wind picked up, the rain fell faster and faster, like countless tiny drumbeats.

His gaze pierced through the rain curtain and landed on the Noah Building across the street.

This behemoth of steel and concrete is now shrouded in deathly silence.

All the windows were pitch black, and even the white "NOAH" logo at the top was completely extinguished.

"What happened in there?"

Gao Jin muttered to himself.

He tried several times, pressing the communicator to contact Cheng Jiashu, who had infiltrated the building.

But apart from the static of the current, there was no response.

The signal seemed to have been completely severed by some invisible force.

As the living coordinate for "White Owl" to use his spatial teleportation ability, he must remain in place.

Any significant displacement could affect the subsequent precise and dangerous crossing process.

This feeling of being unable to move, combined with the bizarre situation before them, inevitably made them somewhat anxious and uneasy.

Suddenly, Gao Jin's pupils contracted slightly as his gaze fell on the dark glass curtain wall of the Noah Building.

"Who...is that guy? What does he want?"
