Chapter 702: Soul-Captivating Journey
A sturdy black building rose from the ground, with white letters of Rank: S printed on the artificial shell.
There were several black SUVs parked at the entrance of the building, and several white people were fully armed and registered at the lobby checkpoint with psychic versions of automatic rifles.
This is an S-level black box building in the Rolling Iron District of Opportunity City. It is not too far from the Xijin Building. It is one of the dozen black boxes with the highest specifications in the city.
Only those who have been certified by the Administration and obtained an S-level investigator license are qualified to work in this level of black box.
Opposite the building, an orange muscle car was parked in the alley between the buildings.
Lucina tied her ponytail and wore a peaked cap. She held the steering wheel tightly with both hands and looked at Chen Ke sitting in the co-pilot seat.
"Is this it?" Lucina asked.
Chen Ke nodded and looked back at Diana and Shreli.
Diana didn't react much. As a former Level 9 agent of the Administration, she was enough to deal with this level of black box even without using witch power.
Shreli took off the sunglasses that were transformed by magic. The unpleasant memories of Xijin Building had long been forgotten by her. She smiled contemptuously, as if the king had returned.
After a series of encounters, Chen Ke suddenly found that his soul was not enough...
He needed more souls for emergency use. In order to get enough souls, following the light beam in his eyes and looking for the ready-made black box space in the city was the wisest choice.
Not only to seize souls, he had two other purposes for this trip.
One was to test and familiarize himself with his new ability: rewinding, and at the same time, he wanted to see what kind of power the two witches could exert when fighting together.
Diana, needless to say, just needed to be more proficient in her abilities, and Shreli, she was not ready to face a real battle.
"Don't make me wait too long." Lucina said.
"Don't worry, little tiger, we will come out soon. When you become a witch in the future, we can play together." Diana smiled.
Chen Ke looked at Diana, and then at Lucina. It seems that the relationship between the two women has changed during his few days in Sunrise.
"You call her... Little Tiger? Why?" Chen Ke asked curiously.
"You don't want to know." Lucina looked out the car window, seemingly not wanting to mention it.
"I seem to have missed something." Chen Ke smiled.
Diana pinched Diana's shoulder and smiled without saying anything.
"If I had known, I would have asked Parker to drive." Lucina said.
"Didn't he want to come? Besides, there has to be someone watching over the young master." Shrelily took over the conversation at this time.
"What the Rainbow Pony said makes sense, just... go in quickly, quickly, let me be alone." Lucina said.
Chen Ke said nothing, pushed open the car door and got out of the car.
A man and three women walked out of the alley. Chen Ke was wearing a black suit, Diana was wearing a sleeveless jacket, a white vest and shorts, and Shrelily did not use magic to change clothes this time, but put on a purple suspender skirt.
Judging from their attire, these three people were not going to fight at all. Chen Ke looked like a corporate executive, Diana looked like a female coach at a fitness center, and Shreli looked like she was going to a nightclub...
"How do we get in? Don't tell me it's from the gate of the checkpoint." Diana said.
"Of course not." Chen Ke shook his head. He still had some souls available. The last time he returned to Xijin Building, he also relied on the trick of opening the door with souls.
Chen Ke led the two women to the side of the building. There was a camera high on the wall.
Shreli stretched out her hand and made a grabbing motion. With a pinch of her hand, a ball of pink energy light wrapped around the camera, and then pulled it off the wall.
Chen Ke stood aside, the mark on his chest was ready to move. After consuming a soul, a black singularity appeared in front of his eyes. After spinning for a while, it expanded into a door.
"It's really convenient." Diana said, she was the first to walk in.
Shreli had also seen Chen Ke open the door, so she was not surprised. She walked in second, and Chen Ke last. The door then closed behind Chen Ke.
Diana knew the origin of this building. As a native of Opportunity City, she saw with her own eyes that this city built one black box after another.
This building was originally a large shopping mall. The four floors below were Walmart, the fifth floor was a movie theater, and the sixth to more than 40 floors were comprehensive office buildings, which required another elevator to go up.
A vicious incident occurred here in 1992. A domestic mystical school group attacked the mall with homemade flame bottles and four pistols at noon on April 24, 1992 in the name of exorcism.
This incident caused 28 deaths and 146 injuries. Most of the casualties were burned by the fire caused by the flame bottles. People from the mystical school were also killed in this incident. Their bodies were charred by the flames, and they seemed to have suffered some degree of mental attack before they died.
A year after this incident, psychic infection broke out in the mall, and then the situation got out of control. P.W.A.T and the Administration were dispatched, and the building was sealed and renovated, and it became what it is now.
So, in front of Chen Ke, the structure inside the building showed an extremely split appearance.
The left half was a brightly lit mall with people coming and going, and customers were selecting goods on the shelves and fresh food counters, while the right half was a scorched floor, black walls, and charred internal organs and broken limbs all over the floor.
When some customers walk from the normal part of the mall into the burnt part of the mall, their whole person will also change. The originally seemingly normal human appearance will suddenly transform into the state of a severely burned corpse, stumbling around until Go to the next normal mall section...
This was the first time Chen Ke had seen such a scene. He thought it was because of the fragmentation of what he saw due to the vision of his left eye, but Shreli and Diana also saw it clearly.
"Don't panic, this is not an illusion, but the environment is like this." Diana looked like a veteran.
"It's very strange. I thought the black boxes were like the Xijin Building, a normal building structure, and then some monsters popped out of it, and that's it." Chen Kedao.
"You are right, but this is an S-class black box, and the environment is much more complicated. If the Xijin Building had not been blown up, it would have gradually become like this in the future." Diana said.
Shrili didn't care much about these problems. Sixteen purple and transparent HK416s appeared beside her. She made a firing gesture with both hands. In an instant, the sound of gunshots could not be heard.
The magic bullet was like a lawnmower cutting through everyone in the mall in front of them. They were blown away by the bullet and shot through the chest and abdomen. Whether they were normal humanoids or burnt humanoids, they were all shot to death without distinction. The customers fled back in panic, and screams occurred one after another, as if it was a repeat of the attack that day.
The magic bullet shells fell to the ground with a clang, and then turned into magic dust and disappeared. Shreli had unlimited ammunition. She never stopped firing until everyone on this floor was shot down, and she also broke the big fish tank. water tank, shot off the sale sign hanging from the ceiling, and damaged many shelves.
No one stood up, they were all lying on the ground, blood flowing into a river, all the way to Chen Ke's feet.
"You see, there's nothing scary about them," Shreli showed off.
Diana grabbed Shreli's arm, her eyes a little angry.
"What's wrong?" Shrili asked.
"What if there are other investigators on this floor?" Diana asked angrily.
"That's because they are unlucky." Slyli said.
"Bad luck? It seems that Chen Ke made a mistake by giving you the power of the witch. You are too dangerous." Diana said dissatisfied.
"We are witches, and Chen Ke is a god with the ability to control time. Don't you understand, Diana? We surpass most people on this planet, our enemies and our goals, forcing us to use more extreme methods. You became a witch earlier than me, but you don’t even have this awareness. Look, Chen Ke didn’t say anything.
Diana looked at Chen Ke, as if seeking support.
Chen Ke squatted down, dipped his finger into the blood on the ground, and looked at it. After a moment, he looked up at Diana.
"There are no investigators here. That door... takes us into the other side of this place." Chen Ke said.
