"Who goes there?"

6th District.

Several flying airships were connected here, manned by Demon Hunters.

Although most of them had gone to support the Battle of the Dragon in the Sky, and some were divided by the sudden crumbling of Sky City, a significant military force remained.

With a stern face, Chason stepped forward, presenting his credentials, "Inspection Department… Chason! There's been an emergency in Sky City, and I suspect it's related to something here; I need to inspect... I need to go to the lower-level warehouse!"

"No, you need authorization documents to inspect the warehouse."

The gatekeeping Demon Hunter did not doubt Chason's identity but still wanted to follow regulations.

Slap!

The next moment, without hesitation, Chason slapped him, "Are you kidding me, look at what time it is! Still need authorization? Who am I going to ask for it when they're being screwed over by dragons? Monster!"

As soon as he spoke, the eyes of a few Demon Hunters nearby suddenly tightened, becoming extremely menacing.

"Ah..."

Not far away, Shenxiu held his forehead, "I knew..."

To maintain his disguise, he had set the new personality for Chason to act primarily loyal but otherwise just like the original Chason.

And how was the original Chason characterized?

Extremely antagonistic towards Demon Hunters, impulsive in action... It wasn't surprising to Shenxiu that this incident occurred.

"Forget it... no point in sneaking around, might as well just barge in."

Shenxiu sighed, his body gradually becoming transparent.

The next moment, a dark shadow swooped in, grabbed Chason, and tore him fiercely.

Rip!

His body was split into two, with red, white... all kinds of colored viscera spilled onto the ground.

"Boss?"

One of the Demon Hunters looked at the suddenly appearing supervisor, shrinking his neck.

"I've always disliked the Inspection Department, especially this Chason!"

The towering figure's surface, a layer of bone armor slowly receded into the pores, moved his entire body's joints, "Have you all gone daft? It's complete chaos now, what does killing an inspector matter? Here, we only listen to the Minister and Councilman Larry!"

Even though Sky City had shattered into pieces, it still left a substantial legacy.

6th District, with a large number of Demon Hunters and warehouses, was undoubtedly a big piece of the pie, naturally prepared early by Larry.

"The supervisor is right... but... my family is still in the 8th District..."

One of the Demon Hunters looked at the flying part of the Flying City moving away, and couldn't help but scream.

The next moment, he saw it... a vast expanse of Black Fog, enveloping a small section of the flying airship.

Inside, suddenly a piercing scream burst out, then ceased, leaving behind only a chilling, disquieting silence.

"No!"

He screamed, clutching his head as flesh sprouts rapidly grew on his skin.

Suffering from the mental blow of his family's likely annihilation, he began to lose control.

"Vic, don't do this!"

"Quick, who has the blood remedy? Treat him!"

The Demon Hunters descended into chaos; suddenly, the uncontrollable Vic's eyes lost focus, and he collapsed softly to the ground.

He plunged into a dream.

"Well done, who was it?"

The tall supervisor's expression changed, immediately sensing something was wrong, "Demon Hunters with mental prowess, haven't they all gone to support the front lines? The only few remaining are underground, guarding Gorosa's Eye..."

He could not afford to think further.

For a dreadful drowsiness suddenly swept over him, making him unconsciously ready to fall asleep.

"Enemy… attack…"

Whitebone surfaced on his skin, forming a defense, but to no avail.

He saw his subordinates collapse in twos and threes, as if they had fallen into a hazy dream.

Then, his eyelids became incredibly heavy, as if he had been injected with an anesthetic, and his whole body began to sway uncontrollably.

Finally, he collapsed on the ground, making the sounds of deep sleep.

"Mid-tier Familiar level?"

Zhong Shenxiu approached him and snapped his fingers with a loud pop.

Soon, one Demon Hunter after another suddenly stood up, their movements and expressions extremely rigid.

They lined up in two rows, like waiters greeting guests, and escorted Zhong Shenxiu into Area 6.

The manipulation ability of the Faceless Spirits!

Zhong Shenxiu had originally not wanted to use this, as repeated use would inevitably leave traces.

But now, there was no need for concern anymore.

As he entered Area 6, the expressions of the Demon Hunters gradually became more animated as they crowded around the supervisor and entered the elevator, heading downwards.

'It seems... each sector of Sky City has its own independent power supply? Was this preparation for separation already made?'

Seeing that the elevator could still operate, Zhong Shenxiu was somewhat surprised.

Upon reflection, Councilman Larry's main base was the Demon Hunters; it was natural that he had made arrangements here in advance.

Boom!

The elevator passed the floor Zhong Shenxiu used to guard and continued downward to the laboratory where Gorosa's Eye was stored.

"What's going on?"

As the elevator gates opened, several Demon Hunters approached, "Hopskin... wasn't your task to keep watch above?"

"I am acting on the orders of the council to take over here."

Hopskin, who could protect himself by turning his body to bone, looked around and replied with a somewhat stiff voice.

"Are you out of your mind?"

The Demon Hunters guarding the place exchanged glances, full of confusion.

"No mistake, I am indeed going mad!"

Hopskin's entire body suddenly covered in a layer of white bones, he charged at the nearest Demon Hunter.

"Be careful, he's been controlled!"

Inside the laboratory, a commanding voice rang out, "There are enemies lurking around..."

A middle-aged man in a suit, impeccably dressed, stepped forward.

He had a pair of gray eyes and deep facial features; at that moment, he gestured, and a cloud of powder dispersed into the air.

Zhong Shenxiu, who had entered an invisible state, was immediately forced out.

"Dream state!"

Although he was revealed, he was not perturbed and attempted to pull everyone into a dream.

He recognized the middle-aged man opposite him—none other than Special Ability Minister, Chuena!

A high-ranking Familiar-class Demon Hunter!

Widely considered to be the successor to Larry's political position!

"The ability of the Faceless Spirit?"

Watching the surrounding researchers and Demon Hunters fall one by one, Chuena's expression changed little as he kept one hand in his pocket, "I remember now... you are Li Wei Mojito? Foreigners are indeed the least trustworthy."

Boom!

As he spoke, a flash of light suddenly brightened beneath his clothes.

Chuena's previous words were a cover, creating an opportunity to fire the gun hidden under his clothes!

Zhong Shenxiu's chest displayed a bloody hole, but he did not fall; instead, a mysterious smile appeared on his face.

Chuena frowned, "Something's wrong. Have I been pulled into a dream? When did that happen?"

He was a high-ranking Familiar-class, not one to fall into a trap so easily!
