Silence.
In the office of the hospital building, apart from the wails outside the door, there was only this silence.
Amid the silence, Lian Cheng stood stupefied, already dripping with sweat.
A few minutes earlier, the intercom had suddenly connected, and his subordinate had reported in panic, as if seeing a ghost, "Main Priest, something terrible has happened, there's..."
Then, the signal was abruptly lost.
Immediately after, there came a terrifying boom and roar that shook the entire Time Ruins.
Looking out the window, the entire side wall of the outpatient building was fractured, and the office where his trusted subordinates were located was engulfed in thick smoke and littered with corpses.
What the hell? What the f*ck happened?
Something terrible happened, won't you say it?
What happened?
No matter how he urged and asked over the intercom, no one responded anymore.
Did everyone die?
What exactly happened, why all of a sudden...
Then, just like that, he had already broken into a sweat and frozen in place, an incredible conclusion emerging in his mind: could it be that the Security Bureau had made its move?
So soon?
How did they break through the Boundary Membrane of the Time Ruins?
That's not right, why would they?
Where did they get the courage?
How dare they risk the explosion of Time Ruins at the heart of Cliff City, forcibly opening it from the outside?
Moreover, he hadn't seen any transcenders from Hai Province.
In the moment it took him to realize, he instinctively wanted to get up and rush to the scene, but then he froze again, drenched in a cold sweat: No, if it was the people from the Security Bureau, then his office was now a trap.
A trap to lure him into surrendering himself!
Fortunately, there was a contamination isolation lockdown inside the hospital building, and unauthorized outsiders couldn't get in; this was now his most vital protection and reliance.
Moreover, with the Power given by the deity in hand, he was not yet fish on the chopping block!
Having regained his composure, Lian Cheng sat down again, looked up at the huge flesh tumor hanging in the hall with many faces, and his mind calmed considerably.
Soon, the intercom rang again, this time with a cry.
It was another backup device.
"Main Priest, Main Priest, it's bad!"
His subordinate, who had survived the ordeal by hiding in the morgue making tools from the Chosen One's Blood Soul, reported in panic, "They're all dead, all of them, except for me..."
"Get to the point!" Lian Cheng interrupted impatiently, "Who did it, how was it done, how many people!"
"It was... It was one of the outsiders who came later, he..."
"One?"
Lian Cheng's voice rose, interrupting him, "Are you sure, only one?!"
"Yes, one! Old Kong and his men went to deal with him, but somehow they all ended up slaughtered, and he even stuffed the bomb into Old Kong's stomach..."
The already confused subordinate reported disjointedly, "Not right, there's also that Mr. Xie, they might..."
"Alright, I've heard enough!"
Lian Cheng interrupted impatiently, no longer wanting to listen.
One person?
Regardless of how Kong Yebai and the others had inexplicably died at the hands of an outsider, a single bomb had wrecked his entire foundation, all these subordinates?
Are you serious? Are you really not joking?
What kind of bomb was that? A military Fuel Element Bomb? Or did it contain a cursed poison or radiation?!
Waste!
All f*cking useless!!!
Having understood the sequence of events, Lian Cheng, other than the fortunate absence of the Security Bureau, was now completely enraged. This bunch of useless crap had all been wiped out by a single bomb?!
He once had high hopes for them.
They each thumped their chests, swearing they would offer their hearts to the congregation, and he didn't believe it; but now, f*ck, a bomb just goes off, and immediately, their hearts are offered up, right?
Impossible, isn't it? It's impossible, right? Your f*cking bunch of crap didn't also believe dying for the congregation would send you to Heaven to enjoy eternal bliss?
It's just like... a joke!
Fury, shame, fear, and anxiety mingled together, contorting Lian Cheng's expression repeatedly, gradually turning ferocious: "At this point, there's no use talking more."
He said, "You go get ready. Tonight, release the Disaster Beast on the second floor."
Since the outpatient building was no longer safe, then wash away all those troublesome folks!
The plan was nearing success.
The Power of the deity would soon descend upon the Time Ruins, taking root and soon to spread over Cliff City and Hai Province, at this critical moment, absolutely no mishaps could occur!
"But... but..." the voice on the other end trembled.
"But what?" Lian Cheng coldly countered, "Are you defying my orders?"
"I dare not, absolutely not!"
His subordinate responded in terror: "I will obey, obey!"
Communication was cut off.
In the eerily silent room, only harsh breathing remained.
Lian Cheng coldly observed the buildings outside the window, his thoughts turning.
One?
No, definitely more than one; that Mr. Xie must be behind coordinating and participating.
That damn guy...
If he wanted to make trouble, it could be even more problematic. But for now, no need to worry, unless he's lost his mind, he definitely wouldn't dare come near the Undying Disease.
Among the Nine Evils, it is well known that the Vortex Chosen One is dear to Bai Pavilion. Once the shadow of Bai Pavilion is seen, someday, those Chosen Ones seeking the essence and permanence of life will enter the realm of endless joy without exception.
Without exception!
At this moment, after Lian Cheng had made his decision, his mood finally lightened slightly.
