Chapter 1338: Chapter 1333: Sudden Killing Intent

Around the Mining Hospital, numerous strong figures had already congregated at that location. Apart from those who openly disclosed their identities as Level 6 and 7 Powerhouses, the others were not hidden from Tang Ye’s sight. They were hiding, never making an appearance, seemingly waiting for something. As for what that something was, the words Lin Jie had left on that wall explained everything.

He was certain that the person would see the message he had left, but who could it be? Moreover, purifiers, a mysterious item that even many renowned Level 8 New Humans at Cloud Gorge Base were unaware of—Lin Jie’s strength was no secret at the base; a Level 8 Powerhouse and a reverse host, such an entity would naturally arouse curiosity with anything in his possession.

Tang Ye was no exception.

Outside the hospital’s main entrance, people came and went, and after hearing about the matters inside, they couldn’t help but curiously look inside. However, upon seeing soldiers continually carrying out large chunks of blood-red flesh from the entrance of Second Ward, many were persuaded to leave and hurriedly left the area.

Countless gazes swept in from many directions, watching the crowd, always on the alert for any odd characters to appear.

Inside the hospital, under the woman’s leadership, the soldiers had checked all the places suspected of hiding important items, only to conclude that nothing was missing and that there was nothing inside that could interest a being of Level 8.

Lastly, the soldiers locked onto the record room. Under the woman’s lead, they forcefully broke through the fire door, and what met their eyes was a body hanging from the ceiling, its clothes torn to shreds, the whole person looking like food placed on a barbecue rack, scored with decorative cuts—its demise was terribly tragic.

But the soldiers merely flashed a glance and showed no excessive reaction. Compared to the gruesome scene in the hall of Second Ward, at least this body retained some dignity and had died more swiftly.

"That man was probably leading the way for Lin Jie," said the formally dressed man nonchalantly, "and once the target was hit, they just discarded him like a used tool."

The air seemed to thicken, and the soldiers were motionless; the woman’s face also turned blank, unsure of what should be done next. At this point, it was confirmed that Lin Jie was looking for clues about a person!

For the vast record room was now in complete disarray, with about a third of the files on the shelves taken away, leaving behind only timecard reports and irrelevant records.

"Lin Jie, what exactly is he looking for..."

The formally dressed man began to speak, but his voice abruptly stopped midway, his facial expression dramatically shifting. He saw that the soldiers by the door had, unbeknownst to him, all collapsed to the ground, their neck wounds plainly visible, bright red blood flowing on the floor.

He was, after all, a Level 7 New Human! Without noticing anything amiss, everyone around him was eliminated in an extremely short period of time; the murderer could only be a Level 8 Powerhouse!

Apart from the soldiers’ corpses, he didn’t see the murderer’s figure. Then, his body stiffened, his dull gaze turning back over his shoulder, only to see his own headless corpse, a man with a knife in hand; the gaze did not linger on his body but rather turned towards the woman who had led them here.

Everything happened too rapidly, and the woman’s thoughts hadn’t caught up. When she finally snapped out of it, her instinct was to scream, but the next second, her neck was gripped tightly by a strong hand.

The fierce aura exuding from the man was almost suffocating!

Her throat was firmly gripped, and the woman was unable to make a sound.

"You’d better not speak, keep quiet. Just lead me to the patient records here, and I’ll let you leave."

The man’s voice wasn’t as vicious as the woman had imagined, instead, it was quite gentle. But he had just eliminated so many people, almost instantaneously, without any hesitation, clearly a merciless demon!

She couldn’t trust the gentleness revealed in the man’s tone. The formally dressed man she had just spoken with, now among those soldiers she learned, had been a Level 7 New Human, already a formidable, almost omnipotent being to her. Yet such a strong person had been instantaneously killed by the man in front of her, his combat strength far exceeding her imagination!

This was a Level 8 New Human, her first time standing face-to-face with such a powerhouse!

Thus, an uncontrollable fear wrapped around her heart!

But what could she do? She was merely an ordinary person. In front of him, she was as insignificant as an ant—his casually stirred storm could shred her to pieces!

She had no choice but to nod laboriously following his words, although her eyes were already brimming with tears.

After Yi Huangcheng finished speaking, he moved his hand away from the woman’s neck.

"What... What are you looking for? Please, don’t kill me."

"Do you know someone named Long Yingjia? I’m looking for that person—that’s all the information I need from you, and then you can go."

"Really... Is that true?" The woman appeared very trusting, recalling the formally dressed man’s speculation after learning that the man was after someone—Lin Jie might indeed be this man!

If she couldn’t find all the relevant data, the man would undoubtedly kill her. After all, she was an ordinary person, and deaths of such individuals were frequent at Cloud Gorge Base!

"It’s true, hurry, no more talking," the man said impatiently.

The woman shivered and quickly ran ahead, daring not to look at the corpses on the ground. The once vividly alive formally dressed man now lay as a headless corpse in front of her, his skin no longer showing any flush of blood. His head gruesomely stared aimlessly at her, sending chills down her spine.

She felt as if the man’s spirit hadn’t left and might be watching her from a corner just like his head.

Blood dyed the white floor red, and in some areas where the blood had flowed, it had even turned black. Despite her nauseous feelings, she could only forcibly restrain herself and proceeded to pick up the scattered files—all over the ground—and sort them out, occasionally touching the fresh blood leaking from the soldiers’ bodies, causing her heart to throb violently.

Even though her heart was filled with fear, as if a beast could devour her at any moment, she dared not dally; she could only hope that this man truly wasn’t Lin Jie!
