Chapter 244: Capture Mission


The Zodiac Rabbit and Zodiac Pig, after getting out of the taxi, didn't head towards the waiting area, nor did they go to pick up any tickets or anything like that.

This made Wu Liang even more certain that they were not here to catch a flight but to execute some kind of mission.

Because he was still shrouded in a misty concealment effect, Wu Liang followed behind them without restraint to see what would happen.

"Prepare for the ambush in the VIP reception room over there." The Zodiac Rabbit lightly nodded, speaking into the earpiece hidden beneath his hair.

Then he glanced at the Zodiac Pig, who immediately understood and walked towards the VIP reception room, pulling out his phone with a puzzled look and handed it to the security personnel at the door.

He spoke rapidly in a foreign language as if urgently asking for directions.

If it were English, it might have been understandable, but the Zodiac Pig seemed to be speaking Russian, which the security personnel couldn't understand.

The two could only express what they meant through body language.

Not far away, Wu Liang saw the Zodiac Pig occasionally patting the security personnel's arm, as a silent force adhered to them.

This seemed to be the marking ability the Zodiac Pig had mentioned before.

Moreover, Wu Liang noticed there were quite a few official agents besides the Zodiac Rabbit and Zodiac Pig hidden in the crowd.

For example, a janitor passing by the restrooms with cleaning tools, a businessman with a briefcase seemingly rushing for his flight, a fashionista chewing gum, and a couple intimately whispering to each other...

Thanks to the official meeting where he revealed his Zodiac Monkey identity, Wu Liang recognized the captains of various squads stationed in the Capital City.

Among these people, he saw several familiar faces and could identify other officials based on their exchanges of glances with unrelated passersby.

At least from Wu Liang's rudimentary observation, more than half of the passersby near the reception room were disguised officials.

"Interesting, who are they besieging? Is the target inside the reception room?" Wu Liang wondered as he continued to observe from another crowd.

Before long, after gesturing with the security personnel for a while, the Zodiac Pig satisfiedly left the reception room entrance.

Under the wary watch of the personnel, he held the Zodiac Rabbit's hand and walked past the route they had asked about, as if taking care of a daughter.

Only when their figures completely disappeared into the crowd did the security personnel breathe a sigh of relief.

It seemed this father-daughter pair was really just asking for directions with no other intentions.

But recalling the importance of the VIP guests inside the reception room, he still felt a bit worried.

"Forget it, better to report it just in case." The security personnel convinced himself and turned to enter the reception room to inform the people inside of the earlier incident.

Unbeknownst to him, this scene was witnessed by the hidden Zodiac Pig and Zodiac Rabbit, who couldn't help but smile smugly.

Reporting it was the right move!

The Zodiac Pig's Fierce Ghost Ability could mark a person, and when they approached others, it would mark the new targets, spreading like a virus.

By appearing suspicious to the security, he aimed to make them realize something was wrong and report it to the people inside the VIP reception room.

This way, he could invisibly mark the targets he couldn't initially reach.

"Got it! One, two, three... There are five targets marked in the room! Rabbit, come!" The Zodiac Pig sensed his markings stabilizing across five segments and quickly commanded the Zodiac Rabbit beside him.

"Alright! Lock them for me!"

In an instant, eerie pale blue patterns emerged on the Zodiac Rabbit's skin, transforming her from the well-behaved juvenile image to a tattoo-covered delinquent, drawing stares with the marks even covering her face.

[Spiritual Shackles]! Seal!

In an instant, the Zodiac Pig felt as if he had Sun Wukong's Tightening Spell placed on his head, unable to mobilize his spiritual power, even his thoughts felt sluggish.

Facing this pain, he grinned slightly.

Soon, the spiritual lock effect on the Zodiac Pig was relayed through his Fierce Ghost Ability to all those he marked.

It was equivalent to the Zodiac Rabbit imposing a maximum level spiritual lock on everyone inside the VIP reception room without seeing them!

"Go! Capture them all! Don't let them take the chance to commit suicide! We need them alive!" The Zodiac Pig shouted loudly into his earpiece.

Ratatatata— Ratatatata—

Suddenly, the seemingly busy passersby around the VIP reception room sharpened their gazes, tearing off their disguises in an orderly manner, surrounding the reception room like a military operation!

Loud footsteps echoed as they surrounded and surged into the reception room.

The leader was someone Wu Liang was familiar with—Ren Jian Country, the captain of the Supernatural Handling Squad!

His tall and robust figure, previously disguised, now barged into the reception room like a war chariot, breaking open the door!

"Everyone put your hands on your heads and don't move! In the name of the Paranormal Handling Department, you are under arrest! Resisters will be deemed a threat and executed on the spot!"

With a righteous tone, Ren Jian Country shouted like a police officer enforcing the law.

But in reality, he charged in and punched the nearest security personnel in the face, then swiftly broke their limbs to prevent resistance if they weren't knocked out.

He was no stickler for bureaucracy.

The sole mission here was to capture as many alive as possible; as long as they were breathing, severed limbs were a minor detail not even worth mentioning in the report.

Moreover, there were many Awakened among the surrounding team.

These spiritual power-locked targets in the VIP reception room, no different from normal people, were thus at an absolute disadvantage.

Yet just as everyone thought things were going smoothly as planned...

An unexpected twist occurred.

"Ordinary people get back! An Artificial Ghost has been awakened! Awakened, move in to suppress!"

Ren Jian Country's voice came from inside the VIP reception room, and in the next moment, he was blasted out like a cannonball, wrapped in a mass of yellowish-brown soil.

He crashed into the electronic display outside the reception room, pressing it flat like a pancake.

Witnessing this, a trace of horror flashed in the eyes of both the Zodiac Rabbit and Zodiac Pig.

This shouldn't be happening!

Awakening an Artificial Ghost should require massive spiritual power!

Weren't all the people inside already locked down by the spiritual lock? Where the hell did the spiritual power to awaken an Artificial Ghost come from!?
