He feigned madness for eighteen years, all for the power of a god.
Chapter 26 The First Person to Die
The tragic death of their teammate was like a bucket of ice water poured over the heads of everyone else.
The bloody, mangled scene, the pungent smell of burning flesh.
This instantly brought Wang Meng and Chen Mo, who were just immersed in their dreams of getting rich, back to reality.
Fear gripped them like an invisible giant hand tightly around their throats.
"Zhou...Zhou Kang!"
Wang Meng stammered out a shout, his voice trembling.
He stared at the bloodstains, so mangled they were unrecognizable, and felt a wave of nausea wash over him; he nearly vomited on the spot.
He just couldn't understand why it would explode out of nowhere.
Chen Mo's face was extremely grim. He gripped the hilt of his knife tightly and looked around warily, trying to find the attacker.
However, all around was deathly silence.
"It's...it's a trap!"
Lingxia's voice was trembling with tears. She was so frightened that she hid behind Baiye, her little hands tightly gripping the hem of Baiye's clothes, her whole body shaking.
Bai Ye's eyes were terrifyingly cold.
He had expected this to happen.
The "bomb maniac" finally began his performance.
These bizarre mantises were simply bait he had laid.
He exploited the greed of the extraordinary, planting bombs inside grotesque corpses, waiting for someone to take the bait.
Zhou Kang was the foolish first prey to take the bait.
"Don't move!" Bai Ye shouted in a low voice.
He had barely finished speaking.
At the end of the corridor, several more dark figures staggered out from the shadows.
It's still that bizarre mantis-like creature!
But this time, they were shimmering with an ominous, eerie red light.
"Damn it! It's these bastards again!" Wang Meng cursed, instinctively preparing to activate his ability and rush forward.
"Stop!" Bai Ye shouted again, "Look carefully! Those guys are most likely carrying bombs too!"
Wang Meng looked closely and was horrified to discover.
On their jet-black bodies, an ominous, heart-beat-like red light flickered!
These are all mobile, suicide bombers!
"Damn it!" Wang Meng was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he quickly took several steps back.
Only then did everyone realize that they had completely fallen into a trap carefully set by the other side.
From the moment they stepped into this building, they became meat on the hunter's chopping block.
"run!"
Someone shouted, and the remaining three people were instantly gripped by extreme panic.
They began to frantically dodge the staggering "bomb monsters" in the corridor like headless flies.
The scene was chaotic.
Relying on his thick skin and tough flesh, Wang Meng charged recklessly, attempting to carve a bloody path through the enemy lines.
Lingxia, like a frightened fawn, followed closely behind Baiye, not daring to leave his side even for a moment.
Chen Mo, the most experienced member of the team, displayed extraordinary composure at this moment.
As he dodged, his mind raced, trying to find a way out of the predicament.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, his pupils contracted sharply, and he shouted loudly:
"It's 'Bomber'! That infamous 'Calamity' of the underworld!"
"His ability can only be triggered through sight! If we can't see him, he can't detonate the bomb! Quick! Cut off the power!"
The name "Bomber" is known to almost everyone in the underworld.
"He was a madman who enjoyed making explosions, a top-level dangerous individual wanted by the authorities."
Upon hearing the name, a look of despair flashed across Wang Meng's face, but his survival instinct made him act immediately.
Like a mad bull, he smashed open a tightly closed door and frantically searched for the power switch inside.
"Found it!"
He roared and pulled down with all his might.
pat!
The lights on the entire floor and even the entire building went out instantly.
The world was plunged into complete darkness, where one could not see their own hand in front of their face.
Sure enough, as the light disappeared, the red glow on those "bomb monsters" also dimmed.
They were like puppets that had lost control, frozen in place, no longer moving forward.
Only the heavy breathing of the crowd could be heard in the corridor.
"Whoosh...whoosh...it's stopped...the explosion has stopped."
Wang Meng leaned against the wall, panting heavily, looking relieved to have survived a disaster.
The others also breathed a sigh of relief for the time being.
However, just when they thought they were safe for the time being.
boom!
An even more violent explosion suddenly rang out in the absolute darkness!
The explosion was very close to them this time!
It's right in the power distribution room.
It turned out that the bomber had already planted a bomb in the power distribution room.
The other party seemed to have anticipated that everyone would come to the power distribution room to cut off the power.
A violent shockwave and scorching flames instantly engulfed the entire corridor!
"ah!"
A short, painful scream rang out.
Because Bai Ye had been on high alert, he activated Shadow Jump the moment the explosion occurred and dodged to the side.
Lingxia, who was keeping watch outside, escaped unharmed.
As the smoke cleared, Bai Ye looked towards the epicenter of the explosion.
Wang Meng, who was standing there, had disappeared.
All that remained was a radiating patch of charred remains on the ground, and scattered, still-smoking fragments of body hanging on the walls.
He was closest to the source of the explosion, and he didn't even leave behind a complete body.
Chen Mo, the calm man who had just been analyzing the situation, was now lying in a pool of blood.
He was clearly aware of the bomb, but unfortunately he couldn't dodge it.
Half of his body was blown to pieces, charred black, and it was clear he wouldn't survive.
His eyes widened, his face filled with incomprehension and bewilderment, as if he would never understand it even in death.
"Why...why...when I...can't see anymore..."
He managed to utter his last words, then his head lolled to the side and he fell silent.
The darkness did not bring safety; instead, it brought even deeper fear.
That "bomb monster" seems to have the ability to see in the dark!
They have become prey to be played with in the darkness.
High above the distant dome, the Bomb Demon peered through night-vision binoculars at his second "masterpiece," his smile growing increasingly sinister.
The blood-red text beside him also updated accordingly.
Current progress: (2/3)
"The second one. Just one more, and my promotion ceremony will be complete." He licked his chapped lips, a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes.
His gaze swept over the remaining two people.
"Which one should I choose as the grand finale of my spectacular performance? It's such a difficult choice!"
At this moment, Bai Ye discovered a very interesting phenomenon.
Lingxia, the naturally naive girl who had always been rather inconspicuous, suddenly followed him around like a little tail.
When Bai Ye went left, she went left too.
Bai Ye went to the right, and she went to the right.
Bai Ye stopped in his tracks. In the darkness, his dark eyes turned to the girl beside him, and he asked in a low voice:
Why are you following me around like this?
The girl was startled by his sudden question, and her body tensed up.
She blinked her big eyes, her voice trembling slightly and innocent:
"I...I don't know...but my gut tells me that following you...I can survive."
intuition?
Bai Ye's eyes narrowed slightly.
In this extraordinary world full of the unknown and the bizarre.
Sometimes, the word "intuition" often represents a kind of inexplicable higher-order perception.
It is even more reliable than any sophisticated instrument.
Especially for some extraordinary individuals with special talents, this is often their life-saving asset.
He didn't believe it immediately, but instead glanced at the girl again without making a sound.
Actually, when the power distribution room cut off the switch, he had been keeping an eye on the girl out of the corner of his eye.
Before the explosion.
Although the girl was terrified, she never looked at the source of the explosion.
If the activation condition of that "bomb demon" is really as Chen Mo said, requiring "witnessing" to detonate it.
So, this coward who kept his head down and didn't even dare to look at anyone can indeed be ruled out as a suspect for the time being.
But this is only a temporary exclusion.
In this game of deceit and treachery, who knows if she is an accomplice of that madman, or some kind of human tracking device?
Bai Ye withdrew his gaze and said nothing more, but his vigilance remained.
At the same time, he began to quickly construct a 3D model of the building in his mind, marking all the previous explosion points on it.
The Bomber can operate in dark environments where power is cut off and surveillance systems are destroyed.
It can still accurately detonate bombs located in different positions.
This proves that he must have an "eye" that does not rely on conventional equipment and can monitor the overall situation in real time.
Where exactly is this "eye" hiding?
