The executives showed no emotion and always believed in Director An, who always did the right thing.

An Ran was so perceptive that he could always detect situations that they were unaware of in advance.

As expected, the hostages who fell to the ground raised their heads, their eyes shining with the bloody luster of wild beasts. These hostages were a trap set by Xinmin from the beginning to the end.

Seeing that the standoff that lasted for nearly twenty minutes was broken, the leader simply stopped pretending. The man clapped his hands, and all the hostages stood up and rushed towards the executive officer.

"As expected of you, you're the Hall's executive officer. How did you find out?" The leader walked out of the Ferrari, staring at An Ran.

"I smelled it." An Ran pointed to his nose.

"Are you born in the Year of the Dog?" The man's expression was ferocious. "Fuck it, I just don't believe it! I'm a new citizen but I can't beat a human like you!"

……

An Ran picked up the man and saw that his eyes were completely dim and he was lying casually on the ground.

"Don't you think it's ridiculous that the new people have become a race like Shang with the help of the Steps to Godhood? You are still a different species, and your strength is just made up of lies."

He turned around and glanced at the fully armed mercenaries.

"Why don't you shoot?"

"If you shoot, we will die." The mercenary captain shrugged and pointed overhead. More than a dozen helicopters from the military and the Countermeasures Bureau were circling back and forth.

"We are not aliens, we can't withstand bullets, and there is no reason to fight for money. We can just block the door to show our strength."

Chapter 123: The Wrath of the Shoggoth (Twenty-nine)

An Ran had a smooth journey and all obstacles were ruthlessly killed. The crimson worms scurried around everywhere and arrived in front of the Tananya Family Affairs Building. He looked up at the helicopter hovering in the sky.

The so-called new citizens were defeated like a pile of loose sand and kept retreating. They ran wildly in fear, unable to understand this devil-like man.

The transport truck charged from the side, and the car was filled with blood and stench. The fearless Xinmin wanted to die with him, but An Ran fired several shots and accurately hit the tire. Several transport trucks reversed uncontrollably, rushed forward, and collided with each other and overturned.

Several executive officers tried to chase the aliens that escaped into the building, but were grabbed by An Ran's shoulders. His eyes fell on the overturned transport vehicles.

The monsters rushed out of the carriage, twisting their tails to search for their target, and finally locked onto the nearest executive officer. The monsters roared with joy, crawled with joy, and their huge bodies easily swept the carriage open, facing Devour Wu and fighting with the executive officer.

The light of the sword is like a shadow.

The black and red sickle slashed from top to bottom with a light yet invisible suppressive force, cutting off the drizzle in the air. The blade cut into the neck, severing the head without a trace of blood. The headless monster did not lose its vitality, and it tightly clamped its prey. The severed cervical vertebrae showed perfect lines.

It was like a fight between a lion and a python. The executive officer finally broke free and one hand pulled him up, while the officer helped pat the blood off his body.

The executive cast a grateful look at An Ran and greeted the other freaks without hesitation. Escaping death did not make him timid.

In order to delay time as much as possible, Xinmin had already prepared a generous gift. The freak hid in the transport truck and was ready to launch a fatal attack at any time. There was a survivor in an overturned transport truck. The driver climbed out of the cab, laughing crazily and saying unclear words, holding up a burning stick.

He set the transport trucks on fire, and several of them caught fire one after another. A raging fire shot straight into the sky, followed by a series of fiery explosions, burying the executive and the freak in them.

An Ran realized their intention and ran towards the entrance of the building. There was fire on all sides. This was a trap set by Xinmin long ago. They wanted to trap and destroy everyone in the building, and take An Ran with them.

It was too late. A shabby Ferrari came from the other side of the square, its engine roaring angrily, heading straight in his direction.

The executives blocking the front were forced to separate. They were not able to stop the supercar that was traveling at nearly 200 miles per hour. In this case, the Ferrari was like a cannonball with a time bomb installed. The impact and delayed explosion were enough to tear the gluttonous executives to pieces.

The driver was actually the leader! He was not dead at all. Even though he was crushed and swallowed by An Ran, he was still alive. His eyes were shining with crazy red light, and there was no rationality at all. His whole body exuded the distortion brought by drinking the Foolish Dream Serum.

He was actually dead, just a puppet controlled by certain behaviors, just like clockwork following the trajectory of movement.

God knows how he managed to deceive An Ran while retaining his last breath.

An Ran jumped and dodged, and the Ferrari crashed into the entrance and completed the final explosion. A fire spread to the elevator corridor and the staircase.

An Ran stood in front of the fire and heard a lot of squirming sounds.

Obviously it was not human, with countless strong and powerful heartbeats approaching. What kind of animal could walk out of the flames?

It can only be a freak.

They were no longer half-snake monsters, but skinned cats, dogs and other mammals, their bodies red with muscles and tendons exposed. Flames burned on their bodies, but they felt no pain.

Someone wanted to completely destroy the building, which was too radical in An Ran's eyes.

Xinmin's resistance and various actions were all centered around this building, but the Great Elder was clearly dead, and there was nothing worth their continued madness. They should have known that they could not fight against the Countermeasures Bureau and the Supreme Director, and should have fled quickly to save their lives, rather than holding on even at the cost of their lives.

Did An Xiao do something unexpected?

It’s still Ottilia, and it’s Gu Zhilan who’s still alive.

After a long time, An Ran felt the unknown again. It had been a long time since he had this feeling. The direction of things was out of his control.

He swung his scythe to kill the first few freaks, leaving the rest to the other executors, then jumped onto the corner of the pipe on the outer wall alone.

This kind of giant reinforced concrete building with dozens of floors usually has water pipes installed inside, but the first and second floors are still installed outside. He grabbed the pipe and climbed to the second floor, smashed the two-centimeter-thick window glass with his elbow, and climbed in.

An Ran climbed into the women's restroom on the second floor. The air was filled with the smell of disinfectant. It had been cleaned not long ago.

Why clean the toilets? This night was the end of Xinmin's carnival. The building was going to be destroyed, and cleaning the toilets was like refurbishing a scrapped old car.

An Ran made a quick judgment.

For example, the instigator did not actually want the plan to destroy the building to be made public. He tried to create a calm atmosphere so that hundreds of employees in the building would be destroyed silently without their knowledge.

The probability of this happening is very small. In fact, it proves that the instigator had no intention of destroying this place at the beginning. It was a complete sudden incident.

It is very likely that one of the three girls saw a terrible secret, which forced the other to want to erase all traces together.

Then he heard a cold laugh and something whispering in a dark corner.

Walking out of the toilet, I heard chaotic noises, destruction, explosions, and the screams of monsters from above. Those monsters appeared one after another, as if they appeared out of thin air in this building. The continuous gunfire soon stopped, probably because they had run out of bullets.

He clapped his hands, and as if something responded, the power was restored, the elevator indicator light came on, and it slowly opened.

An Ran walked into the elevator, listened to the general direction of the chaotic noise, pressed the up button, and then pressed the correct floor button.

The elevator door closed, and the lights in the corridor outside flickered. A desolate feeling came from the lights. Who was crying and who was happy?

An Ran lowered her head and stroked the pendant on her neck. The fragrance always reminded her of Xu Yanqian.

She hasn't shown up yet, so she must have been stopped by her sister.

He raised his head, the elevator opened, and he moved through the corridor like a passerby, as silently as a moving ghost.

The pitch-black spear rubbed against the silver sickle, and sweat flowed down the clothes and dripped onto the ground.

"I'm sorry, An Xiao, our paths are destined to be different," said Gu Zhilan.

An Xiao looked at her old friend, and the coldness in her eyes quickly disappeared. She couldn't be as heartless as her brother. She wanted to take Gu Zhilan away. If what happened tonight was really related to the flower shop and her, she would definitely be wanted.

Now only An Xiao can help her, even though she doesn't know what happened in between.

The prerequisite is that Gu Zhilan must go back with him, instead of returning to the flower shop.

She believed that her elder brother could make a judgment, and that her elder sister and the family could work to protect Gu Zhilan. It turned out that she was also a selfish person, and the justice she upheld suddenly shook in front of her good friend.

Gu Zhilan's eyes fell on Lalo, who was caught by Ottilia's court maid. These forces of Her Majesty the Queen want to rebuild their power and credibility after tonight, and they will never let them go. They need an organization like a flower shop to act as a shield to cut off the good and bad people in the Tananya family.

She stared at them coldly, then turned her gaze back to An Xiao. The situation was briefly deadlocked, and no one was willing to back down.

"You want to take him away. His name is La Luo, right?" An Xiao turned around and said, "I know him. He is on the red high-risk wanted list. He broke into the headquarters and kidnapped Xu Sinuo. We thought he was dead. Your flower shop and Xinmin should be doing this for him."

Gu Zhilan didn't say anything and tried to signal Lalo with her eyes, but unfortunately he seemed to be completely crazy and his eyes were dull.

"You are very familiar with my elder brother. He can help you. We can still be friends." An Xiao approached slowly. "I have always felt that the flower shop is unreliable, especially the female manager. I hate her. Gu Zhilan, we are friends, right? We trust each other."

"It's too naive to say that we are friends now. We were destined to be different people from the beginning. You are the most favored white butterfly in the An family, but what about me? My parents are dead. Are you pretending not to know what they did?"

Gu Zhilan still sneered, but her smile was a little bitter.

"I'm a monster, even though I'm not, and you're the dazzling executive, even though you're a monster."

"There may be a misunderstanding between us."

"You two don't seem to have any grudges against each other and are still good friends." Otilia spoke up at this time, saying coldly, "So why are you enemies now? Don't you think it's absurd? What she did didn't conflict with you, Miss An Xiao. Do you think your family was not involved?"

"What do you mean?" An Xiao frowned.

"The flower shop, the An family, and the Great Elder may all have the same purpose. You came here as an executive officer. It is very likely that your family is behind this, and she represents the flower shop. This is actually a fight between various forces for something. Don't you think this is the case? This does not prevent you from being friends."

Ottilia saw it clearly. As someone who had grown up as a princess, she was the first to react.

"It's a coincidence that we meet here. It can't even be called a coincidence. It can't be that we all want to kill the Great Elder. You don't even know who the Great Elder is. Obviously, we all have the same purpose. It's just that we don't know what our purpose is yet, but the people behind it know."

Otilia pointed at herself coldly: "Killing the Great Elder is just one of my purposes. I want to know a secret here."

"What secret?" An Xiao asked.

"I don't know. I vaguely feel that there must be something waiting for me, but I really don't know what it is. I'm sure you have the same feeling."

An Xiao thought about it and nodded to admit that the feeling was very deep.

Although I was sent to this building by my elder sister, the feeling in my heart does not conflict with my elder sister's behavior.

It was as if she was supposed to be sent here by a mysterious force, and Anya happened to be along for the ride, helping that mysterious force.

And that power is most likely his own family.

"I don't have that feeling." Gu Zhilan said briefly, "As for the great elder you mentioned, he is actually dead. I killed him with my own hands, so you are late." (

"Isn't this good? You got rid of the big trouble, you're a hero, and you can still be friends." Otilia said indifferently.

"Sorry, these are two different things. I am doing this for myself. If this man is the key, then why can't I be the one who uses him to complete the steps to godhood?")

At this time, a gentle sound of footsteps was heard, and the female manager looked over with sharp eyes.

The man suddenly appeared and interrupted them.

"You are all here, and no one died. That's good." An Ran's eyes swept over each person in turn, stopped beside An Xiao, and touched his sister's head.

He was so calm, even when a group of freaks were chasing him.

The freaks were very excited, but they didn't expect that the prey they were chasing would lead them to more prey.

Chapter 124: The Wrath of the Shoggoth ()

An Ran's sudden appearance caught everyone off guard.

He didn't look like he was trying to stop the fight, but was running away. The screams and running sounds of the monsters behind him were rapidly approaching, but he looked so nonchalant and not in a hurry at all.

Otilia's heart trembled slightly.

With the appearance of her elder brother, An Xiao was unusually not happy, but nervous instead. She was not sure about her elder brother's attitude towards Gu Zhilan. Her elder brother should know these things. Naya appears to be weak and trustworthy, but in fact, he is the kind of monster who will not easily reveal his cunning and madness. For the sake of value and greed, he can do anything.

I can still vividly remember the text message my mother sent me, telling me not to trust Naya.

"You look at me as if you've seen a ghost?" An Ran turned and walked towards the only working elevator, pressed the button, and the elevator started to move downwards.

"This place is full of freaks. A fire on the first floor will spread quickly. If we want to leave, we have to go to the rooftop. I have prepared three helicopters."

"Brother..." An Xiao didn't say it out loud, but looked at Gu Zhilan who was deliberately keeping a distance.

"I haven't called you brother for a long time. I'm suddenly a little uncomfortable. Don't worry. You guys go to the elevator first. I'll stay and talk to her."

An Ran chuckled and looked at Gu Zhilan:

"She probably thinks so too."

An Xiao had no time to hesitate. Those freaks were coming soon. If a fight really started, his brother might not be able to protect everyone's safety. He couldn't reveal his true identity under the eyes of so many people. He and Gu Zhilan knew Naya's secret, but the princess and the palace maids didn't know it.

She couldn't let her willfulness harm her brother, so she had to enter the elevator.

Ottilia didn't care about what happened between An Xiao and Gu Zhilan. To her, there was no point in staying any longer since the Great Elder was dead. She stopped and looked at An Ran for a while longer, revealing a thoughtful expression.

Now that Her Royal Highness the Princess is leaving, there is even less reason for the palace maids to stay. Compared to protecting family assets, taking care of Ottilia's safety is more important.

It was obviously unreasonable for an elevator to be able to hold nearly twenty people and even have extra space. The shrill noises that came like a tide stimulated everyone's nerves and no one noticed the problem.

"He has to stay." An Ran reminded.

The housekeeper hesitated for a moment, but still threw the man with a frustrated look out, and the elevator door closed completely.

The atmosphere in the elevator was extremely solemn. Perhaps because the fire on the ground floor had spread, they all stopped talking.

An Xiao always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

Akeno... She suddenly thought of something and turned around to look for the child in the crowd, but she didn't know when she disappeared!

And the missing heart of a gray whale.

She remembered that Akeno had left the crowd before her elder brother arrived.

……

Lalo fell into an inexplicable state, his thoughts still active but his eyes were irrational, as if he were dead and his active thoughts came from the parasites that had taken over his body.

"Take him away. I know what you are going to do. Compared with Xinmin and the flower shop, it will be more difficult for my family to get him." An Ran lit a cigarette. Behind him was a group of freaks who didn't dare to approach.
