Infinite: Starting from Infiltrating Other Spaces

"We need to speed things up!"

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

A figure walked slowly across the boundless wilderness.

The once pure white dress was now stained with scattered bloodstains, like plum blossoms blooming in the snow, adding a unique and poignant beauty.

The original crystal strappy sandals had vanished, and those delicate white feet, painted with nail polish, were now bare, treading on the rough ground.

With each step she took, she left behind a viscous liquid resembling oil, and jet-black flowers, like spider lilies, rapidly unfurled their stems and leaves from her footprints.

And then it withers away quickly, as if it were only a few seconds before it finished its life cycle of flourishing and decay.

"Don't cry—Mommy knows you're hungry—be good—"

Jasmine's pretty face was filled with tenderness and doting affection, and she exuded a kind of sacred maternal aura.

She stroked her abdomen, her lifeless eyes scanning her surroundings.

"Honey—Mommy saw it...I'll go find you something to eat right now..."

Jasmine raised her face, looked into the distance, and slowly disappeared into the wind.

"Da da da da da"

Bright flashes of light shot from the muzzle, but the bright runes on the gun absorbed most of the gunshot sound.

Only faint gunshots gradually subsided in the wilderness.

The bullets, leaving behind clusters of tracer-like marks, stood out starkly against the gray sky.

The burly man with a cigarette in his mouth put down his gun and exhaled a puff of smoke.

The mechanical dog beside them had already nimbly rushed forward and collected the twisted soul that the aberrant had dropped.

He spat out the cigarette butt, magically produced a new one, pressed the cigarette butt against the hot barrel of the gun, and took a deep drag.

"Boss, these arcane bullets are quite effective, but aren't they a bit too expensive?"

Those bullets all have certain properties, and they are incredibly effective against aberrations.

It only requires pulling the trigger, and there's hardly any consumption.

Aside from the bullets being a bit pricey, that last burst of bullets cost five or six hundred Hall Points.

The man wearing the magician's hat chuckled and pushed up the brim of his hat with the playing cards in his hand.

"The divination told me that we would encounter danger at this stage, and I think it was worth it to exchange some temple points for everyone's good condition."

The playing card seemed to come alive, spinning nimbly on his fingertips.

Well, the burly man scratched his head; he'd been teaming up with the magician for quite some time now.

They escaped many disasters by relying on the magician's divination.

Even back in Sunset City, when I wanted to go to the square to see what was going on, the magician stopped me.

Indeed, this was the case when hundreds of apostles were seen being held down and unable to move, like chickens waiting to be slaughtered.

The group turned and ran, rushing from the basin to the barren plain, only stopping when the magician, panting, said that the crisis seemed to have disappeared.

As for how the crisis was resolved... who knows? It's not impossible that the guy who set up the ceremony messed things up and blew himself up.

In short, if the magician says there are signs of danger, it's always good to be cautious.

The burly man took a few more puffs of his cigarette and shouted towards the rooftop next to him:

"Xiao Qi, is there any movement nearby?"

A somewhat immature, childlike voice shouted:

"No, everything is normal."

He stuck his head out and said helplessly, "This area is all wilderness. It will take a long time to see a village. Do we have to be so serious?"

These mutants are incredibly weak and pose practically no threat. I've been on guard duty for three days now, maintaining a constant reconnaissance state is exhausting."

The magician smiled and flicked out a card, the five of hearts, which landed squarely on his lips.

"I know you're tired. We'll bring in a beautiful woman once we reach level three, okay? Just like you said, the older sister type."

Xiao Qi's face turned slightly red, and he scratched his head sheepishly.

"Boss, I'm still young and don't understand these things, wait a minute—"

His expression froze, and he closed his eyes as if searching for something:

"Someone's coming!"

The magician's expression turned serious:

"Where's the data?"

"172cm tall, wearing a white fitted dress, nine-head figure, bust size—"

"Distance! Number of people! Configuration!"

"Oh, just one person, a female apostle, about 400 meters away..."

Xiao Qi was stunned:

"She's waving at me! Boss, what do we do?"

The magician didn't answer, but suddenly threw out a deck of cards. The cards floated in front of him, moving their positions little by little.

Gradually, he lost his composure, and even fine beads of sweat began to appear at his temples.

Damn it! I can't see anything, how did my fate start to become blurry?

It was as if his and his squad's fate had vanished into nothingness—

wrong!

He froze, sweat dripping down his forehead. It wasn't that their fate was becoming blurred, but rather that something was devouring their destiny!

"Hurry up—"

The magician had barely finished speaking when he was interrupted by a soft female voice:

"My child is very hungry... Can you... help me?"

Kind person..."

Chapter 148 You are investigating the Dragon Hunter, Team Killer, Second-Tier Arena Supreme

In an instant, an indescribable fear poured over me like cold water.

The magician's pupils suddenly contracted to pinpoints, the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end, and the sensation of cold sweat sliding down his spine felt like a cold, writhing snake.

He heard a broken gasp coming from his throat, as if an invisible hand was choking his trachea—the air in front of him suddenly began to ripple, his white dress billowing, revealing his beautiful body.

Her smooth, marble-like skin suddenly bulged, as if something was eagerly trying to burst out.

"what!!!"

The magician let out a terrified scream, and with all his might, he waved his hands, and in an instant, playing cards rained down from the sky.

These playing cards shimmer with different colors depending on their suit.

But the figure seemed like a ghost, and all his attacks missed their mark.

On the ground, her footprints oozed a viscous black liquid, which refracted an eerie, oil-like iridescence in the candlelight.

The stench that had been lingering only around the nose suddenly intensified tenfold.

Something brushed past his ear, a faint, insect-like rustling sound that exploded inside his skull.

Countless overlapping phantoms suddenly appeared on my retina: pale arms churning beneath the scorched earth, a twisted ghost face deep within the crystal core, and angel statues on the church's stained glass windows, which should have been holy, now all had bloodied mouths.

"Boss!"

The shouts of his companions were unusually muffled, as if they came through a thick curtain of water.

The magician then realized that he had been embraced by the other person without even realizing it.

A sharp pain shot through his abdomen, as if something was crawling out of the woman's stomach and then back into his own.

"run......."

His lips trembled, as if he wanted to shout, but the sound that came out was extremely weak.

The magician took a deep breath with all his might, only to have his mouth suddenly sealed by icy lips.

His pupils reflected Jasmine's pretty face so close to his, and he saw the madness in her eyes and her undisguised greed.

A sticky whisper climbed up the nerves and into the cerebral cortex:

[Eat...it...]

A slippery sensation came from my mouth, as if a thick tentacle was being poured down my throat.

The last scene before losing consciousness was the magician seeing his two teammates also bound by black tentacles.

And those tentacles seem to have come from... his own body.

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

"Zi La"

Azure lightning crackled among the monsters, and a large web of electricity spread along their bodies.

Amidst the piercing screams, the monsters shuddered, their bodies stiffening as they fell straight backward.

A wisp of blue smoke emanated from his body. Li Xia reached out his hand, and Night Silence returned to his palm with an excited buzzing sound.

"Zizzi"

Thin beams of light shot out continuously from the index finger, accurately piercing the deformed brain shell.

Amidst their wailing, these monsters transformed into disgusting pus, which gradually seeped into the ground.

It flew over happily with a smile on its face, like a farmer who had just finished a bountiful harvest, and picked up all the remaining 'twisted souls'.

"1461, 1462...1502!"

"Your Highness, it's already at 1500!"

Li Xia nodded. After four days of searching, he finally found several villages that had not been cleared out, plus the sponsorship of 'kind people'.

It can be said that the progress is quite fast.

In particular, the 'kind-hearted people' provided more than two-thirds of the twisted souls!

That was just two days ago, after we had finally gathered five hundred twisted souls.

At Aowu's suggestion, they headed to the nearest 'Soul Pool' marked on the map, intending to purify five hundred souls as a test.

Unexpectedly, just as they activated the Evolution Pool with the 'Crystal Core', a five-person team also arrived.

The excited captain was preparing to double-cross them when, unexpectedly, his reconnaissance subordinate sent the following message, trembling with fear:

[You are currently investigating the Dragon Hunter, Team Killer, Tier 2 Arena Supreme]

[This apostle has killed two core members of a high-ranking guild. Please communicate with this dangerous unit with extreme caution!]

It's hard to describe in words how the captain felt when he saw the notification.

He barely finished his opening line about the robbery before managing to wrap it up.

With a forced smile, but in reality heartbroken, he left behind all the 'twisted souls' and then ran away like a rabbit.

Only Aowu and Heitan were left staring at each other, wondering if the other side was an idiot.

Li Xia guessed something: the title of "Team Killer" would stop being displayed automatically once you reached the third tier. If it were to remain displayed, it would be like indirectly increasing the difficulty for the Apostles.

However, considering the quest prompt that "purifying twisted souls may attract other beings, and the more souls purified, the stronger the monsters attracted,"

After thinking for a while, he decisively accepted the 'twisted soul', thus letting go of the five unlucky guys who dared to rob him.

However, the result of this purification only deepened the gloom in Li Xia's heart.
