Now, just a thousand meters away, countless pairs of eyes were watching the bizarre and frenzied scene at the drained lakebed.<br>Three fully armed warriors floated unsupported in mid-air, their bodies impossibly contorted as if some invisible will compelled them. They stiffly, slowly, yet irresistibly turned around and raised the guns in their hands, unleashing a torrent of bullets in all directions.<br>Yet in this situation, Lucas astonishingly charged toward those bullets.<br>Even as he sprinted at high speed, his body twisted eerily, with countless splashes of mud rising around him. Despite the intense barrage of bullets, he astonishingly evaded all of them, rushing to within three meters before leaping up.<br>Under the Blood Moon, his back arched and body crouched, leaving a lingering Shadow as he soared into the air.<br>With this leap, he closed in on one of the investigation team members.<br>This team member was suspended four or five meters high, an unreachable height for any person. Yet Lucas leaped upward, precisely seizing the gap between the bullets, launching himself fiercely toward the investigator.<br>“Hiss…” <br>The investigator's Shadow, its face blurred yet distinctly twisted, suddenly turned to face Lucas, its mouth stretching limitlessly open in a horrifying way that made one's scalp tingle.<br>But with a swipe of his hand, Lucas tore off half of its face and then grabbed its body with both hands.<br>“Ah…”<br>The investigator thought Lucas had come to kill him. <br>But instead, he suddenly felt lighter, the force binding him instantly vanishing. <br>Before he could react, he felt the intense sensation of weightlessness, flailing as he plummeted downward.<br>At the instant Lucas freed him from the Feeling of Limitation, he used his feet to push off the investigator's body, leveraging that force to leap toward another airborne investigator four or five meters away, simultaneously freeing him too.<br>Then, using the same method, he used this investigator as a springboard to reach the third person.<br>……<br>……<br>“What is he doing?”<br>Meanwhile, in a mysterious building within Qinggang City's Main City, Jane Chen and the information analysis team member Han Bing watched the live footage transmitted from the cameras on the soldiers responsible for sealing Satellite City No. 2. Despite the distance and dim light under the Blood Moon, they could see Lucas's ghostly movements and reckless actions.<br>His actions were agile and eerie, like a phantom. Charging directly toward bullets and Spectral Fiends signified madness.<br>“He’s very dangerous…” <br>Han Bing had many things to say but only uttered this useless sentence.<br>Every information analysis team member had access to extensive data on mental pollution, making them akin to semi-experts. As experts, they could offer professional advice during contamination cleanup. <br>In her view, everything Lucas did was extremely dangerous.<br>The specifics of the 41st pollution source in Satellite City No. 2 were still unverified.<br>But the analysis indicated that a single psychic assault from the source had destroyed over half of the surrounding lights and simultaneously repelled three armed personnel and Lucas. This indicated a significant Cognitive Scale and a potent infective capability that could instantly contaminate.<br>Under such circumstances, an immediate retreat and artillery coverage were the correct responses.<br>Even those three investigation team members would normally be considered dead if deep within a pollution source.<br>Yet Lucas charged forward under such conditions.<br>Did he not fear dying under the bullets?<br>There were experimental data suggesting that Arachnid Power Wielders could dodge bullets, but they would still die if hit!<br>However, after Lucas acted, they soon saw his triple aerial leap, rescuing the three seemingly deranged investigators who had begun firing at their comrades. The method was unclear, but astonishingly, as soon as the three investigators hit the ground, they quickly got up and retreated in an orderly manner.<br>Their agile and coordinated movements suggested that they were likely not contaminated.<br>“He…”<br>Han Bing instinctively opened her mouth.<br>Holding the phone, about to give an order, Jane Chen paused, shocked and delighted.<br>After a moment of reaction, she immediately ordered, “Quick, retreat with the investigation team members…”<br>But before she finished speaking, watching Lucas's actions on the blurry screen, her eyes widened.<br>……<br>……<br>“Now it's your turn…”<br>At that moment, after saving the three investigation team members, Lucas did not retreat with them. /n//n/ Instead, he pursued relentlessly, charging forward again.<br>His target was the puddle at the center of the lake.<br>When the three armed personnel were lifted into the air, Lucas had already noticed something unusual.<br>To others, the investigators lost all autonomy once airborne.<br>But Lucas saw the Shadow lifting them as a vague figure. Their turning and shooting actions were because the Shadow clung tightly to their backs, coiling around their arms and fingers, forcing them to fire. Thus, the leader’s shout, “Dodge quickly!”<br>Precisely because of this, Lucas confirmed they were “controlled,” not “infected!”<br>Therefore, with his Sister’s help, he dodged the gunfire, leaped into the air, and tore apart the Shadow entwining them.<br>The Shadow was strange, but not durable; it tore easily.<br>Of course, it could also be because his Sister excelled at tearing things.<br>But after the rescue, there was no retreat.<br>Mainly because his Sister refused to retreat.<br>With her eyes gleaming, she fixated on the puddle at the center, pouncing straight for it.<br>“Glug glug…”<br>Lucas moved swiftly, covering the seven or eight meters to the puddle almost in an instant with his speed.<br>But just as he was about to reach the puddle, suddenly around the doll, mud bubbled up, rising, then burst forth a black Shadow from within the mud, quickly swelling, twisted branches extending in all directions, countless sinister tendrils furiously winding toward all sides.<br>At this moment, Lucas's pupils contracted, and he looked up.<br>It was a tree, a tree with countless vines, and at the ends of the vines, fruits.<br>And those fruits were “people.”<br>These people rushed down from mid-air, limbs and bodies spread wide, as if to give Lucas a big hug.)
