Chapter 432: Chapter 388 The Paranoiac Who Clings to Humanity! _1 Chapter 432: Chapter 388 The Paranoiac Who Clings to Humanity! _1 “What on earth, what exactly has happened?”

The Fifth Level Personnel, with a puzzled face, stared at the scene before him, his brain becoming increasingly unable to make sense of it.

The terrifying entities that those evil enemies had summoned with great effort not only spared their adversaries, but even turned on their own people…

What was even more bizarre was that now, inexplicably, they were bowing down to Colin?

No, what was the deal with Colin who was outwardly “equal” to him?

Looking at the flame on Colin’s body, the Fifth Level Personnel felt a deep unease; he had seen with his own eyes that the other party had hardly moved throughout the process, simply allowing the flame to spread and thereby resolving all opposition.

Despite it feeling not hot, as if it couldn’t even ignite cotton, that flame scorched all the evil enemies into charcoal…

This…

“It’s not a charm, not ‘Destiny Propeller,’ nor does it resemble ‘Divine Strike,’ what kind of power is this?”

The Fifth Level Personnel suddenly remembered some rumors.

It was rumored that the organization had recently recruited a rather large number of outsiders…

Was he one of them?

But what was the situation with the “Starlight Maiden”?

Why would such an entity bow down to him?

The Fifth Level Personnel especially could not understand, for this simply could not be explained by sheer strength alone.

Even Old Master Wu, who had the ability to adjust the fate and arrange others’ destiny, might not be able to achieve this step.

However, as for his confusion, let alone him, even Colin himself was not very clear.

‘I always feel like there’s some kind of hidden transaction going on that I don’t know about…’

Colin glanced at the “Starlight Maiden,” who was bowing her head in submission, suspecting that there had been transactions behind the scenes; otherwise, the company wouldn’t have been able to find this place with such precision.

This time, he was sent, probably to ensure the final execution of the mission.

If he had not come, the “Starlight Maiden” might have fled or failed to show up. His presence stopped her, of course, and probably only he would have waited for the “Starlight Maiden” to descend…

Anyone else would have probably stopped everything from happening before it could begin.

Only he would take a risk for the sake of points.

Of course, this was just Colin’s speculation. Upon closer examination, there were many loopholes and no evidence.

But there was one thing Colin was sure of, there was definitely a hidden transaction.

As thoughts flickered, his gaze passed over the “Starlight Maiden” and looked at the followers who had turned into charcoal…

These guys were quite pitiful.

They might have been sold out right from the beginning…

“Looking at it this way, the existence that they worshipped and their followers often cannot be regarded the same.”

Colin collected his thoughts and turned his eyes back to the “Starlight Maiden” in front of him.

Aside from her body occasionally trembling in some aftereffect, she had mostly recovered from the effects of the Bone Spur.

Among the enemies that were attacked, she was one of the quickest to recover.

Without giving it much thought, he accessed the mission in his mind, chose to complete it, and then prepared to hand over the “Starlight Maiden” in exchange for points.

Although he didn’t know what the company was going to do with this creature…

But for him, this thing, apart from being pleasing to the eye, certainly wasn’t as valuable as points.

However, at this very moment, Colin’s heart suddenly chilled.

He instantly felt that something capable of causing fatal danger was about to happen, but no image appeared in his mind…

“No image… The target isn’t me? Damn it!”

A scream came from the side, and Colin quickly realized something, immediately turning around, his gaze shifting to the still suffocating Fifth Level Official Personnel.

At this moment, from the ground beside that person, hordes of unusual entities that emitted “squeak squeak” sounds emerged; their exact shapes were unseen, only their shadows were visible.

“The Rat?”

As Colin’s thoughts flashed, he saw the Fifth Level Official Personnel’s calf gnawed clean in less than a second!

At this rate, it would take only a few seconds before the creature would be completely devoured.

He might not make it in time to save him…

With that thought, he decisively activated “Time Freeze.”

In the roar of freezing engines, everything came to a halt…

Colin extended his hand towards that direction, the flame surged forth, incinerating all the shadowy, entity-less rats completely…

But even after rescuing his colleague, the alarm in Colin’s heart did not subside.

Suddenly, a faint cry reached his ears.

“Save… save…”

Amidst the fluctuations of non-human thoughts, Colin’s pupils constricted, and turning his head, he saw that beside the “Starlight Maiden,” a large group of rats glowing with a blood-red light was pouncing on her…

There were thousands, countless in number. Although similar to the “rats” that attacked the Fifth Level Official Personnel, they seemed to have been blessed personally by some hidden entity, endowed with writhing red light.

So much so that they could act almost unhindered in the midst of “Time Freeze”!

At this point, because the “Starlight Maiden’s” body was much stronger than the Fifth Level Personnel’s.

They couldn’t devour her, but surged forth, biting her, dragging her in a certain direction…

At this moment, the frozen time that Colin had used to immobilize the enemy had ironically become a shackle for the “Starlight Maiden.”

“Damn it! This is the real target of the enemy!”

As thoughts whirled, Colin spun around swiftly, rushed to the “Starlight Maiden’s” side, and grabbed her by the shoulder.

Even within the frozen space, he could feel a titanic force wrestling with him.

Immediately, Colin lifted the effect of “Time Freeze.”

“Tick tock tick tock…”

The sound of the ticking of a clock came through.

Time Stop ended…

Then, an even more terrifying force emerged, and the strange cries of the “rat” swarm rose from all around.
