Multitalented Witch
Chapter 189: Phantom Skin Scale
Outside the gymnasium, a man stood between the horns of a huge blue beast that pierced through the sky. His eyes were serious as he stared carefully at the large gymnasium.
“I've passed it. This type of demon was called the Phantom Scale Skin. In general, the Phantom Scale Skin did not have the ability to infect through blood. I believe the Phantom Scale Skin we are dealing with today is a variant; it has evolved into a creature we have never encountered before.” A handsome man in a leather jacket stood under the sky-colored giant Beast, speaking to the man above respectfully.
“People did research on all kinds of magic medicines, some even used Magical Beasts for experiments. Developing strange creatures is not a strange thing. However, what I can't stand is that this kind of creature appeared within Pearl University! This is the Pearl Institute, most of the people here are either new students or the Main Witch! They were completely unable to defend themselves from this parasitic Magical Beast!” the man on top of the huge beast swore angrily.
As Hunters, they were very clear that it was possible for Magical Beasts to roam around in a big city like Shanghai. However, for them to appear in a sacred land like the Magic University shocked the entire magic world!
Why did the hidden ward inside the school not stop the Magical Beast from infiltrating it? Why did they only learn of this problem when the situation reached this level? Why was the City Hunter Squad even allowed to eat? In the end, they only found out because the people of Clearsky Agency had received a commission for it!
If this matter were to be delayed for another two weeks, the entire campus would turn into a Devil's Nest!
"Yes. We have been sloppy.” A group of Magicians in orange uniforms stood there with their faces displaying wax skin.
They were part of the City Hunt Squad, and were in charge of the Pearl Institute area. If someone was going to sound an alarm about the Magical Beasts around here, they were the ones immediately sent to eliminate the threat!
“Currently, we can't count how many Scale Skin Phantoms are there. Furthermore, from the information I received, this kind of Magical Beast would commit collective suicide if it thought it would die. This kind of collective suicide method was actually a way for them to transfer their energy to the Mother-Scale Skin Phantom. Moreover, after they committed collective suicide, the one utilized would have their entire life force drained, and die! the man with the leather jacket told everyone.
“So basically, we cannot accidentally warn the enemy?” the commander above the huge beast asked for clarity.
"Yes. At the very least, we cannot let the Mother Scale Skin Phantom know that we are conducting a large-scale operation. Otherwise, people affected by the parasite will soon be abandoned by it.”
After hearing this, the Captain of the City Hunt Squad, Liang Yujie, inevitably furrowed his brows.
On the other hand, the face of Vice Dean Xiao, Academician Li, changed greatly.
There were between six and seven thousand students inside the gymnasium. Among them, there are about a thousand people currently using the gym, and the rest are inside the biggest sports venues, watching the celebrity perform. Who knows how many people have been killed so far?
If they attacked now, everyone under his influence would kill themselves. It'll soon turn into a campus massacre. This was a responsibility that Academy Li could not, and the two element directors present could not do it either!
"Then we can just stand here and watch?"
“We must kill the Mother Scale Skin Phantom. Once mom dies, the rest of the Phantom Skin Scale will also die by itself!” said the man in the leather jacket.
"How strong is the Mother-Scale Leather Phantom?"
While these people were discussing things, a little girl holding a laptop came walking over.
“Little girl, quickly go home! This is not the place where you should be!” the element director, Zhou Zhenghua, hurriedly warned him.
Lingling did not even look at him, directly walking towards the man in the leather jacket.
"Lingling, come here!" the man in the leather jacket said with a loving smile, as if he was looking at his own little sister.
"Cursed monsters, you guys didn't make too much noise when you decided to shut this place down, did you?" Lingling said unconditionally.
"Little girl, do you have any good ideas?" Commander Xi Ming asked.
The Clearsky Agency's beast-hunting genius, Lingling, was actually quite reputable within the Hunter Union. Commander Xi Ming would happily listen to every strategy proposed by him.
“If I am not mistaken, my partner and I are dealing with two Green Scale Skin Phantoms, one of which is Mom and the other is Dad. Father was killed by us, and the Phantom Skin Scales Mother was supposed to be hiding inside the gymnasium. In addition, he used his small-scale Skin Phantom to take nutrients for himself, ” Lingling said as he opened his laptop and explained to everyone the high-level here electronic map function.
Everyone surrounded him, and quickly realized that the electronic map displayed a large number of red dots inside the gymnasium. Furthermore, these things had mixed with the students. Even if they sent experts to that place, it remained useless. Experts will not be able to distinguish between normal students and those who have been infected with the parasite.
“According to my observation, these red dots move without pattern. They go everywhere! however, there were always some of them moving to and from this area,” Lingling stretched out her little finger while pointing to the interior area of the gymnasium.
“This place is!?”
"This is a hydraulic fluid lifting platform in front of a large screen at the sports venue," Director Zhou Zhenghua immediately told everyone.
“This hydraulic fluid lifting platform is usually in the air. Moreover, it had a protective net surrounding it. This equipment was rarely used, except for the outstanding celebrities who wanted to do something like fall from the sky! Oh right, the show idols are planning to use this for their official show,” Academician Li hastily told everyone.
“The hydraulic fluid lifting platform should have a door leading to the third floor. The third floor has an idol dressing room, lobby, and interview room. After the singer prepared everything, they could directly go from the third floor to the small tunnel to enter the platform. ”
"Lingling, do you think that the Mother Scale Skin Phantom will likely hide inside that platform, and keep an eye on the entire place from that height?" the man in the leather jacket asked in surprise.
"Yes, it's because these small-scale Skin Phantoms have to provide nutrition to their mothers, that's why I assumed it would happen in this area."
"This cannot be delayed, we must immediately send people to deal with this Mother Beast!"
“No, you may have made Mother Beast worried when you closed that area. The Phantom Mother Scale Skin was intelligent, another possible reason why she was at such a high point was because she wanted to take control of the situation. If we rush in, we will definitely get caught!”
“Then what do we do? We can't just wait here!”
At this moment, everyone was out of sense.
The power of the Phantom Mother Scale Skin was nothing compared to these extremely powerful Magicians. The problem was, the enemy was holding a large number of students hostage. Once they made the enemy worry, it would be about life and death!
“Lingling, you just said that your partner killed Phantom Leather Scale Father. According to your previous explanation, your partner is currently in the gym?” the handsome man with the leather jacket asked.
“Yes, he is also a student from here. He was the first one to attack to save people.”
"The strength of your partner shouldn't be too bad, why don't you let him go and deal with the Mother-Scaled Phantom Skin?" the man in the leather jacket asked gently.
Lingling thought.
Indeed, that was the only suitable solution, since the experts outside couldn't risk coming in!
