Chapter 96: No Witnesses

Chapter 96: No Witnesses "Stop! What are you planning to do!?" The brown-robed figure’s actions were so obvious they immediately drew the camp leader’s sharp rebuke. "I..." The brown-robed figure snapped out of it like waking from a dream, breaking out in cold sweat. In just a few seconds, her mind had been severely drained, and an unprecedented sense of fatigue surged into her brain. She bit her tongue, forcing herself to stay alert: "What kind of monster are you researching?!" The traitors looked at each other, equally puzzled. Most of them were also entering this laboratory for the first time. The few researchers in this laboratory, hearing the evaluation of "monster," spoke indignantly: "Monster! What a crude description!" "Just one step away, it will begin carrying the great power of dark mist! Until it transforms into the noble Child of Dark Mist, possessing might capable of wiping out an entire city-state!" "Right, it will be our faction’s future!" The researchers’ voices were incredibly excited, their fanatical gazes toward the container filled with devoted reverence. The surrounding traitors listened with blood pumping, involuntarily looking toward the container with burning eyes. Might capable of wiping out a city-state—how amazing that sounded! Even in their dreams, they wouldn’t dare have such wild fantasies. "A Child of Dark Mist capable of destroying human city-states!" The brown-robed figure felt a chill in her heart. Although the force she belonged to cooperated with traitors, they definitely didn’t want traitors to possess power capable of overthrowing humanity! Everyone could see the traitors’ madness and chaos. Any normal person, even ambitious ones, would never gradually lose their mind as the price for joining the dark mist faction. "This information must be brought back." The brown-robed figure remained silent. She needed to stay on guard. However, compared to future concerns, she was more worried now about whether she could leave alive after learning about the Black Poison Faction’s deep secret research. Her inner unease became reality within seconds. Leader Dunro’s eyes coldly observed the brown-robed figure, his tone sinister: "The Child of Dark Mist’s existence absolutely cannot be revealed to outsiders!" The surrounding traitors immediately got the message, slowly surrounding the brown-robed figure. "Leader, how could I be an outsider? We’re the closest cooperation partners!" Seeing the sinister killing intent in the traitors’ eyes, the brown-robed figure’s heart sank to rock bottom. Her worry had become reality so quickly. "Kekeke, cooperation partners... only those who similarly devote themselves to dark mist are our own people!" Leader Dunro laughed coldly without end. Gray energy gradually rose from his armor as he began pressuring the brown-robed figure to make a choice. Either completely devote herself to dark mist and become one of the traitors, or be brutally killed by them... "..." The brown-robed figure gritted her teeth. She didn’t want to choose either option. Devoting oneself to dark mist not only meant being hunted by the human faction but also gradually losing one’s mind—no normal person would do such a thing. But surrounded by so many traitors, she definitely couldn’t escape. Once she resisted, there would only be a dead end. "Live with value, or die worthlessly?" Facing this multiple choice question, although the brown-robed figure already had a preference, she was still incredibly torn and hadn’t made a decision. Leader Dunro grew impatient, approaching step by step, the gray energy on his armor rising higher and higher... "Since you don’t want to become one of us, then go die!" "Wait! I..." Just at this moment, "Boom!" A violent explosion came from the Black Poison Gate, and terrifyingly overwhelming aura instantly blanketed the entire laboratory. Thud thud! Tall shield guards walked out from the black poisonous mist one by one. Each step carried absolutely terrifying pressure, heavily trampling on the tight nerves of dozens of traitors! Finally, a traitor couldn’t take it and cried out: "Mon..." Having just uttered one word, "Crack!" A red shadow flashed, followed by a piercing sound of air being sliced. That traitor who had spoken was instantly chopped into countless pieces! With a boom, they exploded and scattered everywhere. Countless blood chunks hit the other traitors’ bodies and faces, finally making them react. "Run! Run for your lives!" "Where? Where else can we run!" "Fight these monsters!" "..." Some traitors were completely desperate, frantically looking for places to hide; others exploded in desperation, engaging in desperate struggles... But all these actions were completely useless before the shield guards in bonded state. Five Purple Thornblade Shield Guards guarded the gate while four Redrose Shield Guards with speed reaching 19 points began mad, efficient slaughter. With each red flash, a traitor got cut to pieces. In just a few minutes, the traitors were almost completely wiped out. "I’ll fight you bastards!" The air was filled with the sharp smell of blood. Leader Dunro’s eyes were bloodshot as he roared non-stop, all his Psionic Energy erupting: "Resilient State!" "Gray Light Illumination!" "..." He activated almost all enhancement abilities, not saving a bit of Psionic Energy! "Fierce Shield Strike!" The person-tall great shield in his hands erupted with thick gray light. His entire body almost merged with the great shield as he charged toward the gate at breakneck speed. He was making a desperate gamble—if he could just charge through, he’d have a shot at survival! Purple Thornblade Shield Guard #1 casually raised its giant shield, meeting this ’fierce momentum’ strike head-on. "Boom!" The two shields collided, producing a clanging sound of metal collision. Right after, Leader Dunro flew backward even faster with his shield, his chest shield nearly flattened, the enormous recoil instantly crushing his chest bones. With a rumble, he crashed into the wall, stirring up clouds of dust, life or death unknown. "Crack!" Just then, a Redrose Shield Guard passed by. Several sword flashes later, after a scream from within the dust, a pool of blood gradually spread... "Ah!" A few more screams echoed. In this laboratory, only one brown-robed figure remained, kneeling on the ground and shaking. She shouted loudly: "I... I’m not a traitor! I’m a human Psionic!" Knowing that with her weak strength, she had no possibility of surviving under these monsters, in the rapid life-or-death crisis, the brown-robed figure suddenly had a flash of inspiration, guessing these monsters might have been sent by humans. This led to the scene of her kneeling and revealing her identity. "Drag her out!" Outside, Carlos’s brow seemed covered with frost. What he most feared had still happened. A Psionic completely wrapped and disguised, actually hidden among traitors—anyone could figure out this guy was most likely a traitor hidden in the human faction! However, he temporarily had no time to deal with this person. In Purple Thornblade Shield Guard #1’s vision, the humanoid monster in the container at the laboratory’s center was the most unexpected discovery.
