Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 132: Chapter 60: Containment

With the edge of Li Yelai’s blood blade, he defeated the Master of Horror Tales and seized the Art Museum Door Card.

Finally, the people trapped inside the museum had the chance to escape.

Those who escaped the danger wept with joy and thanked Li Yelai and the others profusely.

To outsiders, Li Yelai seemed as imperious as a king, quickly slaying the head of security.

Especially in the last scene, he swung the security chief up into the air immediately after being himself catapulted to the ground.

His tall and lean figure swung a bulky massive figure up into the air.

The visual impact sent a shiver through many hearts.

But experienced Processors could sense how risky Li Yelai’s plan had just been.

He used the force of the security chief, that counteracted the force and drained it in the opposite direction.

Performing a dragon-lift maneuver to completely overthrow the security chief, which greatly strained Li Yelai’s physical body.

So much so that Li Yelai found walking both strenuous and cautious.

The difficulty lay in his physical exhaustion and his injuries.

And the caution... was because his Calamity was not yet over - every step required care to ensure the floor tiles wouldn’t shatter and trip him, or concern that a chandelier might fall from the ceiling.

He was also lucky there was no rain outside; otherwise, he might fear getting struck by thunder.

Seeing this, Cheese stepped forward to support Li Yelai, allowing him to lean on his shoulder to prop up his body.

And activated the Spiritual Barrier, blocking several suddenly falling stones.

”In the future, don’t take such risks when you don’t have teammates nearby,” Cheese whispered, ”Otherwise, even if you don’t die at the hands of enemies, Calamity will finish you off.”

Li Yelai thought about it and nodded in agreement, indeed that was the case.

This confrontation with the security chief drained nearly all of Li Yelai’s strength, and he was injured.

If, at that moment, a Must Meet Strong Enemies scenario or an out-of-control dump truck had emerged.

Without the help of his teammates, Li Yelai would have been in grave danger.

It seems, future operations must reserve some strength for unexpected needs.

Other Processors stood watch around Li Yelai.

Guarding against any potential ’strong enemies’.

Li Yelai felt a warmth in his heart, ”Thank you all.”

”No need to mention it among comrades,” the Processors laughed and waved their hands. They curiously eyed Li Yelai, being supported by Cheese, but they suppressed their curiosity and continued to be vigilant.

Then, as Li Yelai was helped out the door, he was shocked by the scene before him.

He knew that there were Kaidan tales everywhere in the academy and many colleagues infiltrated into universities were grappling with Kaidan abnormalities.

But he had not anticipated it to be so intense.

There were gunshots everywhere, armored vehicles sped across the streets, and various abnormalities were swiftly eradicated.

This was truly a reassuring scene.

And the group didn’t immediately evacuate, but rather regrouped on the lawn outside the museum, attending to the injured and interrogating Huang Du.

Although despicable and shameless, Huang Du was ultimately one of the masterminds behind the scenes, familiar with all the rules and solutions to the Kaidan.

And Huang Du didn’t let them down, divulging everything immediately despite his beaten-up face.

When this information got back to the division, each team’s operations became even more efficient.

Some groups even managed to solve the Kaidan without shedding a drop of blood using this intelligence.

But there was also bad news.

In this Kaidan crisis, there were three masterminds behind the scenes.

Huang Du and his two roommates, the boss among them, had already been firmly controlled by the authorities.

Reportedly, he had designed to rescue various second and third generation rich kids, receiving many people’s gratitude.

But among them was a disguised student who was a Processor.

Receiving the message, the Processor didn’t hesitate to take him down.

The boss still didn’t understand why he had been discovered, considering he had managed everything well without exposing any flaws.

And the third, Ye Xun, was not so easily dealt with.

Indeed, a team of Processors found Ye Xun in the male dormitory, but it was a Ye Xun who had been corrupted by a powerful force.

Ye Xun, not a Spiritual Ability User, was an academically talented student accepted into the university on a scholarship.

Both teachers and classmates saw him as a rational and intelligent person.

But after accidentally acquiring the Horror Tales Notebook, he did not chase wealth and women like the boss and Huang Du.

Instead, he obsessively sought to understand the truths of the world.

As an ordinary person, such a power seemed too wonderful add his после

And so, when he discovered the existence of Spiritual Ability Users through the Kaidan, he was even more joyfully immersed in the research of Kaidan, wishing to peel back the veils of the world little by little.

Perhaps, it was this thirst for knowledge—

that brought disaster. When he opened the Horror Tales Notebook this time.

Whether it was the power of the Notebook or a gaze from within the Void Realm,

his Soul Well burst open, astonishingly turning him into a Spiritual Ability User.

And he obtained unimaginably powerful strength.

Relying on the rules of the Horror Tales Notebook, he somehow escaped the encirclement of the team and even increased the difficulty of some Kaidans.

Now, he was hidden somewhere unknown.

...

And in the shadows of a row of academic buildings, Ye Xun in school uniform was advancing quickly.

He felt incredibly lucky - a knowledgeable and great being had truly responded to his questions, granting him powerful blessings!

This turned him into a Spiritual Ability User, and even his thinking speed was greatly enhanced.

This feeling was wonderful; he merely experimented a few times and mastered skills like the Spiritual Barrier and Aerial Stepping.
