I slay evil in the Department of the Supernatural

Chapter 169-168: Elevator Horror! The Power of the Law! A Fierce Battle (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

The moment Xu Lindong and the other two stepped into the elevator.

"Click!"

The elevator doors slammed shut with a speed that was unlike any old elevator.

At the same time, a piercing metallic scraping sound came from inside the car, accompanied by the grinding of gears and the tautness of steel cables.

A series of clicking sounds.

The elevator started up abruptly and rushed upwards without waiting for them to press any buttons!

The floor numbers on the display screen started jumping wildly:

4——5——6——7——8——9——

It's so fast, it's almost like several layers per second.

An unusually strong centrifugal force suddenly erupted, pressing the three people firmly against the car wall.

"Captain Xu!"

Pan Chao suddenly turned to look at Xu Lindong, his expression filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Xu Lindong's gaze, however, was fixed on the row of floor buttons.

The inpatient department clearly only has eight floors.

When they came in, it showed that they were on the fourth floor.

But in just three seconds, the elevator had already passed the ninth floor—

And it's still climbing!

At such a speed, an ordinary person would have already experienced heart and lung discomfort, dizziness, and vomiting, as if they had encountered an elevator crash.

Fortunately, they were superhumans with strong bodies and did not experience much physical discomfort.

However, an intense sense of unease and fear quickly crept into the hearts of Pan Chao and Ding Jian.

"Are you kidding me?!"

Ding Jian's face turned pale. "Is this elevator... going to take us flying?"

He dared not be negligent. A flash of light and shadow surrounded him, and his body suddenly became ethereal, entering a state of wandering soul, in order to counteract the feeling of weightlessness brought about by the violent ascent.

Just for that brief moment.

The elevator has reached the seventeenth floor.

It's still rising.

It was as if there was no end above, and they were being sent straight to the boundless heavens.

"Collapse! Collapse!!"

The elevator car emitted a metallic, creaking sound as it struggled to bear the weight.

Like a trapped beast pushed to its limit, it could explode and disintegrate at any moment.

Xu Lindong said in a deep voice, "That female director wants to use this tactic to separate us and then defeat us one by one."

His keen senses had already spread out like a giant net: "I sensed it—she's trying to move this entire elevator directly out of this hospital building."

A cold smile flashed across his face, and his right hand had somehow already grasped that strange paintbrush.

This is a pen that can mobilize the power of the land simply by graffitiing.

The moment he got his hands on this pen, his sense of distance as a doorkeeper instantly increased from 300 meters to over 1,000 meters, as if he had acquired the sense of the earth itself.

There is also a vague sense of change in the land, flowing from the tip of the pen.

Although he is not yet proficient in using the pen, and even feels that the weight of the "pen" is constantly increasing with use, as if he is holding a mountain.

However, even using only a portion of his power was enough for him to see through the current situation and the female director's methods.

"She wanted to use an elevator to separate us from the others—which was indeed a good idea."

Once the forces are divided, even if he enters the three-phase state, it will be difficult for him to confront the female director of Sequence 8 on his own.

His extraordinary power was no match for her, and he was constrained by the terrain, so he couldn't break the deadlock or find her true body on the fourth floor.

"This is too insidious! We must stop her!"

Pan Chao was about to press the elevator button when he said that.

"Don't press it."

Xu Lindong's voice was deep and resolute.

"Those buttons are all fake; they're traps to lure us out. To get out of here and to the right floor—you have to do the opposite, not play by the rules."

Before he could finish speaking...

"Bang!!"

The entire elevator jolted violently!

The next second, sparks suddenly burst from the cracks in the floor!

A cluster of bright red flames leaped up from under the iron plate.

In an instant, flames erupted, followed by thick smoke that billowed out from all directions, engulfing the entire carriage in the blink of an eye.

The change happened so fast that it took no time to breathe.

Clearly, this was happening while Xu Lindong was observing the female director.

The other party had already identified him.

Moreover, they've already struck first.

Flames and thick smoke suddenly erupted!

Pan Chao's expression changed drastically, and a solid, extraordinary aura quickly appeared around his body, covering his entire body like a red armor.

At the same time, he shouted "Disperse!" The sound wave shook away the thick smoke that rushed towards him.

Although Ding Jian, who was in a wandering soul state, was not bothered by the smoke, his soul was still scorched by the golden-red stove fire, making him sway and extremely uncomfortable.

He gritted his teeth and growled, activating the Joke Demon's ability: "What a joke! Why is this fire ice cold?!"

The moment he finished speaking, the joker's ability took effect.

The flames beside him seemed to have been "tricked" by a joke, suddenly twisting from scorching stove fire into a chilling, eerie green will-o'-the-wisp, no longer able to harm him in the slightest.

Xu Lindong, on the other hand, did not make a single move from beginning to end.

The moment the flames rose, he was enveloped in a layer of solidified golden-red stove fire, as if the Kitchen God had descended.

He was surrounded by soot from the stove, but it didn't harm him in the slightest.

Although both are powered by the fire of the hearth, these flames are useless to him.

But the real crisis is not the flames and smoke.

Instead, the entire elevator was emitting a loud creaking sound, as if it were on the verge of disintegration.

The container trembled violently as it rapidly ascended, as if it were about to explode at any moment!

They continued to rise at this terrifying speed, and once the explosion occurred, they had no idea where they would be blown away.

"We can't wait any longer!"

Xu Lindong made a quick decision and continued to urge the paintbrush in his hand.

The paintbrush was so heavy that even the auxiliary hand of his extraordinary popularity phantom was forced to droop.

But the golden-red power of the guardian spirit beneath his feet seemed to amplify his divine might, spreading rapidly like a tidal wave.

It instantly spread to a kilometer away, forcefully penetrating spatial barriers and reconnecting with the atmosphere in the stairwell.

The fluctuations from Qiao Zheng and the others could be clearly heard!

At the very moment of the connection of perception.

"Whoa!!"

He drew his heavy, massive scythe and swung it fiercely like a ghost, instantly unleashing the power of the ancient guardian deity Yu Lei behind him.

hum! !

The moment the blade sliced ​​through the air, it seemed to tear open an invisible rift.

A dark, desolate road that doesn't belong to this world.

It vanished in a flash.

The path to the underworld was briefly revealed by the sickle!

The sickle instantly crossed the limitations of time and space, passing through the Tongyou Road and precisely hooking onto the handrail of the stairwell corridor!

"Snap—!!!"

At the moment the sickle hooked onto the handrail.

The rapidly ascending elevator suddenly came to a stop!

The entire car emitted a tearing sound as if the metal was being pulled apart by an invisible giant hand, and began to twist and deform!

A violent pulling force came from the sickle, almost tearing the muscles in Xu Lindong's arm to shreds.

But then a huge, extraordinary human aura suddenly appeared outside his body, its massive arm muscles bulging like intertwined steel bars, merging with his arm and unleashing a terrifying, mountain-like force that forcefully resisted the pulling force!

"Crunch!"

A piercing sound, like the twisting of steel cables on a bridge, erupted, and the entire elevator trembled and shook under the shocked gazes of Pan Chao and Ding Jian.

"Get down there, you son of a bitch!"

Xu Lindong roared, his arm muscles bulging, and the oppressive force within the extraordinary aura illusory body erupted, as he unleashed his power with a low growl.

The sickle was pulling the elevator back down, section by section, against the current.

"Holy crap—"

Pan Chao and Ding Jian were completely dumbfounded.

With strength capable of uprooting mountains and an aura that overshadows the world?!

Captain Xu, all by himself, managed to hook a certain spot with a sickle and stop the elevator from speeding out of control.

This is practically a power that is confronting the Sequence 8 alien being head-on!

"We'll definitely get to the fourth floor through this elevator! We'll find that female director!"

Xu Lindong's voice came urgently.

"Don't just stand there, you two, act immediately! Even if she is a mutated being, her source of power is still the righteous gods of the land and the door gods, who follow the orthodox path."

By harnessing the righteous power hidden within extraordinary abilities, we can draw it out and cause her to suffer a backlash!

He continued to exert force with both arms, veins bulging on his forehead: "This is my chance! I can only barely hold her off right now because she's diverting some of her strength to deal with Qiao Zheng and the others downstairs!"

"Excellent! This is indeed an opportunity!"

Upon hearing this, Pan Chao's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he abruptly pulled out the palm-sized, trumpet-shaped extraordinary weapon from his waist.

"My goodness! It looks like Brother Pan is going to go all out with his trumpet." Ding Jian exclaimed, immediately covering his ears.

Pan Chao's blood was boiling. He brought the small megaphone to his mouth, took a deep breath, and the righteous energy accumulated in his chest burst out of his mouth: "In broad daylight, under the clear sky, what evil spirits are causing trouble here?"

Little do they know that the net of Heaven is vast, its meshes are wide, yet nothing escapes it; those who commit crimes and break the law will surely be struck down by lightning!

His shout was like a thunderclap, carrying the unique power of "direct remonstrance to dispel falsehoods" inherent in the legal system.

Each word was like a knife, piercing the illusions and delusion that permeated the elevator.

This is not just a sonic impact, but also a powerful rebuttal of the injustice and distortion of the rules with unwavering conviction and righteous spirit.

It directly points to the female director's sins of abusing her divine authority, harming others, and violating the extraordinary nature and hospital system!

Wherever the righteous shout passed, the golden-red stove fire burning continuously inside the elevator suddenly stopped.

The fire visibly weakened, trembled, and contracted inward.

Even the extraordinary power that surged wildly upwards and struggled against Xu Lindong's scythe was momentarily halted, and its momentum of resistance diminished sharply.

The elevator, hooked by the sickle, creaked and groaned as it slid down a short distance!

Almost simultaneously.

Ding Jian's figure had already floated like a shadow to the elevator buttons.

A hint of mockery flashed in his eyes, and his hands moved with lightning speed, pressing the buttons on the entire row of floor buttons one after another!

With each press, an invisible "joke curse" quietly attaches itself.

This behavior is like a naughty child joking around and randomly pressing elevator buttons.

What a joke!

The buttons, seemingly cursed by the joker, suddenly rebelled. The numbers on the elevator display jumped, and the elevator plummeted from the 27th floor to the 8th floor!

"bite."

The elevator stopped on the eighth floor, but the elevator doors remained motionless, clearly indicating that there was a force inside holding them back.

The next second, the elevator plummeted down again, landing on the seventh floor.

However, it turned into another meal.

Just then.

"ah!!"

Ding Jian suddenly screamed, and his entire arm jerked back as if he had been electrocuted.

A burst of dazzling electricity shot out from the tip of his finger that touched the button.

As if struck hard by some hidden protective mechanism within this eerie elevator, his entire hand went numb instantly, and his soul trembled violently!

The elevator started creaking and groaning as it climbed upwards again.

The female director's forces are still putting up a stubborn resistance.

Pan Chao took a deep breath, his eyes filled with righteous indignation, and once again let out a deafening roar.

This time, what he spoke of was no longer a simple rebuke, but the powerful and resounding laws and regulations of the Xia Kingdom that resonated with heaven and earth!

As the head of the law and order office, he was already familiar with and able to apply national laws and regulations, which was the source of his power.

At that moment, he was shouting out relevant clauses from the "Regulations on the Management of Mental Health Institutions in Xia State" and the "Law on the Safe Operation of Special Equipment".

"According to the laws of Xia State, administrators of mental health institutions must not abuse their power or infringe upon the rights of others!"

"Elevator operation must comply with safety regulations; exceeding speed limits or going out of control is strictly prohibited!!"

His commanding voice, like a resounding bell, carried with it a powerful sense of righteousness and the force of rules, echoing loudly within the narrow elevator car.

hum!

The entire elevator began to shake violently, and the metal walls groaned under the strain.

The "public order" and "coercive" power contained in this law involve the laws of the Xia Kingdom, and its roots point directly to the human king and the human gods who are the defenders of the Xia Kingdom's laws.

These are the first and second rank currently stationed within the nation. Without the gods present, who can rival them?

The reading of this law is more direct than the power of divine revelation; it is the power of the rules within the current national domain, and it is supported by extraordinary forces.

The majestic voice of the law seemed to touch a kind of instinctive fear deep within this mystical building.

The elevator's ascent suddenly halted, emitting a screeching sound like a mournful wail, as if its remaining "spirituality" was trembling under the majesty of the Xia Kingdom's laws.

"good!!"

Taking this opportunity, Xu Lindong, who had been waiting in the wings, let out a loud shout.

With his arms bulging, the power of the gatekeeper and the brute force of the extraordinary phantom of humanity erupted, transmitting an even more terrifying pulling force through the scythe.

"Creak! Boom!"

The elevator jolted violently, and the numbers on the floor display screen jumped wildly again: 8th floor, 7th floor, 6th floor!

-

Meanwhile, inside the stairwell.

Qiao Zheng and the others, who were engaged in a fierce battle with the human figures manifested by the Heavenly Dao, had already noticed the giant scythe that suddenly emerged from the dark rift.

The blade was deeply embedded in the stair railing; it was Xu Lindong's weapon.

"It's Captain Xu's sickle!"

Qiao Zheng's pupils contracted.

The reinforced concrete handrail was twisted and deformed under the violent force, making a tooth-grinding metallic tearing sound, and it was almost torn off.

A fierce confrontation was clearly taking place inside the elevator.

However, both teams were already tightly entangled by more than a dozen Heavenly Dao figures, and were unable to break free to provide support for the time being.

"This handrail is about to give way!"

"We must grab the sickle and help Captain Xu!"

"Damn it!"

One of the team members gritted his teeth and blocked a section of the stove fire, his eyes red with anxiety.

Just when things were at their most anxious.

"let me!"

Wang Shuo finally seized an opening and roared as he forcibly broke free from the battle.

He suddenly took a step to the wall and gripped the exposed handle of the sickle tightly with both hands!

Almost at the same instant he grasped it.

"Snap!!"

The stair railing, which was hooked by the sickle, finally succumbed to the tearing force of the two forces and broke completely!

But Wang Shuo's hands were already firmly locked on the knife handle like iron clamps. His body was pulled forward by the terrifying force coming from the other end of the Tongyou Road, and his feet scraped the ground, leaving two sparks.

The sickle did not come off the hook.

But at that very moment, a tremendous pulling force suddenly erupted from the sickle!

Wang Shuo was almost dragged off the ground, his feet lifting off the ground, and thrown forward like a kite with a broken string.

"Drink it!!"

He glared and roared, and a solid, extraordinary human aura suddenly appeared around his body.

The ethereal, otherworldly figure held him firmly in place, his legs scraping frantically against the ground, leaving clear marks, yet he still could not resist the fierce pull.

It looked like Wang Shuo was about to be pulled straight towards the opposite staircase wall, or even the elevator door.

"Let me help you!"

Lu Yang, who was closest, shouted and broke free from the battle, suddenly taking a step forward and leaping out!

But just a moment before he landed...

A circular manhole cover has mysteriously appeared in the flat buffer zone of the stairwell!

This manhole cover must be from the main road in the hospital area.

But now, the female director has used her ability to reshape the land to forcibly move it here.

Upon seeing the strange manhole cover, Lü Yang's pupils instantly contracted.

Oops!

His heart sank, but he couldn't stop his momentum.

"Clatter!"

The moment I stepped on the manhole cover, it suddenly flipped over.

He instantly lost his balance and plummeted, falling straight down before he could even scream!

"Lü Yang!"

Everyone gasped in surprise, instantly terrified, and immediately looked down to see if there were any manhole covers.

This is clearly yet another bizarre and evil product.

"Bang!!"

With his own strength failing him, Wang Shuo could no longer hold on, and his figure was dragged violently towards the elevator door like a cannonball.

His illusory popularity was squeezed and deformed the moment he hit the door, on the verge of collapse, and his legs made a tooth-grinding "crack" sound as they broke!

Excruciating pain swept over my entire body.

But he still gritted his teeth, gripped the sickle handle tightly with both hands, and twisted it to the side with all his might.

The blade slammed down hard into the ground!

He knew he could no longer hold on to it.

Once the elevator is released, it will completely lose its anchor point, and all of Captain Xu's previous efforts will be in vain.

That's all he can do now.

It's about using every last bit of strength to nail the next fulcrum to this sickle.

He channeled all his strength into his arms and pressed down fiercely!

"laugh!!"

The sickle tip rubbed violently against the concrete, sparks flying everywhere.

The next second, the blade plunged into the ground, hooked onto the reinforced concrete, and clamped down tightly!

However, the terrifying pulling force coming from the other end of the Tongyou Road did not diminish.

"Gara!!"

A jagged, ever-extending trench was carved into the concrete ground, sending gravel flying everywhere.

Wang Shuo's shins cracked as he stomped against the wall, and his ankles twisted in response.

The muscles in my arms spasmed inch by inch under the immense force, and a sharp pain, as if my shoulder joints were about to dislocate, spread all the way down to my spine.

The force was so fierce it felt like it was going to tear him in two.

"Fuck your grandpa!! I'm used to just being a bystander, don't expect me to let you off the hook this time!"

His head snapped back, veins bulging in his neck, eyes bloodshot, jaw clenched, fingers gripping the knife hilt like iron, his muscles tensed like stone, not yielding an inch...
