"You are... White Owl!"
But as soon as the words left his mouth, he immediately shook his head repeatedly.
"No, how could you be White Owl? White Owl should be in the experimental zone right now, maybe he’s already escaped from this damned place..."
"Besides, your voice is different. We just talked with him a moment ago, did you use a voice changer..."
He mumbled to himself, filled with confusion and bewilderment.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Liang was startled.
This mask, like a bolt of lightning, split open a corner of his deep memory.
That night on the midnight highway in the suburbs, a man wearing the same mask chased their car on foot.
After that, he even fought evenly with Chief Gao, who was wearing Reproductive Armor, and at one point held the upper hand.
The image in his memory gradually overlapped with the silent man in front of him. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚫𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵
Zhou Liang swallowed again, feeling even more tense inside.
If this person in front of him is the real White Owl, the legendary demon infamous for bloodshed.
Then who was the "White Owl" that acted with Captain Gao and even talked with them?
A terrifying thought crossed his mind.
Their so-called "cooperation" before might have been a scam from the start.
This real "White Owl" wasn’t their ally at all.
No wonder he exudes such a murderous aura.
No wonder he treats those terrifying monsters like insects, slaughtering them effortlessly.
Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on Zhou Liang’s back.
He discreetly took a half step back, and the hand hanging by his side made a subtle tactical gesture towards Ayang behind him.
Ayang, standing behind him, saw this, his pupils contracted sharply, and he couldn’t help but grip his assault rifle tightly.
The person in front was Fang Cheng.
Listening to the two members of the Special Search Team and seeing their covert little actions,
he emitted a faint killing intent, coupled with the bloodstained black combat suit.
The corridor was engulfed in suffocating silence.
Fang Cheng suddenly asked:
"Do you know how to get to the conference hall on the top floor?"
His tone was calm, like an ordinary person lost in a mall asking a security guard for directions.
This unexpected question caught everyone’s attention, their tightly wound nerves seemed to be plucked by an invisible hand, almost snapped on the spot.
The almost tangible tension eased slightly.
Zhou Liang was the quickest to react and immediately pointed to the security guard, who was already frightened out of his wits: "He knows the way! We have a building security guard in our team."
With that, he hauled the security guard, who was sitting on the floor limply, to his feet.
The security guard trembled all over, stammering:
"I... I... Yes, yes, I know! I’ve worked here for almost ten years, and I can find it with my eyes closed..."
Fang Cheng gave him a once-over; the security guard looked like an ordinary person, his face pale and his legs still shaking.
Does he really have this ability?
Seeing the doubt in Fang Cheng’s eyes, Zhou Liang hastily added:
"Also, Ayang, a member of our action team, is experienced and knowledgeable. He has been through similar incidents and might be able to help us find a way out of this mist!"
His words seemed almost desperate, trying to demonstrate the worth of his team.
Ayang, who was mentioned, was momentarily stunned but quickly responded, chiming in:
"Yes, that’s right. This... should be an ’Inner World’. If we don’t find the correct path and wander around blindly, we’ll encounter even more and more terrifying dangers."
Fang Cheng, hearing this, recalled the previous experiences in Mist Mountain and nodded slightly.
"No wonder, so that’s it."
Seeing his words acknowledged by the other party, Ayang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued to display his expertise:
"The so-called Inner World is a relatively independent space. Sir, if you want to reach the top floor, you probably can’t do it the conventional way. We need to strategize and first..."
Before he could finish his sentence.
A strange wave, without warning, rippled through the air around them.
A thin black line appeared out of nowhere.
