Chapter 310: Chapter 213: The Unmentionable Existence

Regarding Gu Mengping’s breakdown, there wasn’t much blame placed upon him, understanding that under such pressure, one could act crazily; however, Zhang Lei’s approach wasn’t wrong either, needing to curb such behavior by Gu Mengping, as no one could be sure whether striking at Li Yi was good or bad.

If such actions were to anger something, wouldn’t that be even worse.

"Everyone, calm down, don’t act rashly, anyone who messes around will be shot dead by Master Pete, we need to stick together right now," Zhang Lei stepped forward at this moment, he had to control the situation, otherwise, things could worsen at any moment.

Now was not the time for anyone to show off.

With Zhang Lei and Peter’s deterrence, everyone a bit more calm, even so, the sense of fear still lingered in everyone’s heart, unable to be dispelled.

All they could do was stand still and continue to observe, hoping that this eerie situation would soon end.

Tap tap!

Suddenly.

A faint sound of footsteps echoed in everyone’s ears.

Had someone come?

At this moment, everyone’s senses were so sharp it was unbelievable, even a slight footstep could be quickly detected, and in an instant, they all turned towards the direction from which the footsteps came.

That was an alley in the old city zone.

Deep and unending, pitch-black, even their night-vision eyes were unable to see through the darkness, but they soon noticed a human silhouette appearing in the darkness, as if someone was coming out from that deep place.

Who could it be?

Was it another Cultivator involved in the mission?

If the other person could show up here, did it mean that they could also leave this haunted place by following that route?

All sorts of thoughts continuously emerged in everyone’s minds.

Quickly.

When that human silhouette walked out of the darkness, everyone was stunned for a moment.

It was actually a woman, around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, pale-faced, with hollow eyes, and faint mortuary spots on her pale palms, resembling Liu Yan who had been killed earlier, but the only difference was, the moment this woman appeared, everyone’s mind seemed to be shrouded with a layer of darkness.

Spiritual Sense seemed to fail at that moment, leaving everyone with only a fear of the unknown.

This woman, was definitely not human.

"That’s... Li Yi’s mother," Lin Yue said, her eyes filled with fear, she couldn’t help but swallow.

This woman looked exactly like Li Yi’s mother, who lay in the medical chamber at Peace Finance Building.

However, Lin Yue was very clear that Li Yi’s mother might not exist at all, she couldn’t even be sure if the woman in the medical chamber was human, because no one could be that eerie or bring about such a terrifying influence.

"Li Yi’s mother?"

Upon hearing Lin Yue’s murmur, the others widened their eyes, baffled.

Then, they recalled some information about Li Yi.

Li Yi’s parents were both Silent Ones, lying in the medical chambers, waiting for the moment to awake, but it had been six years with no signs of waking up, which was normal, since the Silent Ones from six years ago had a very low chance of awakening, less than ten percent. Many had even given up on supporting the Silent Ones, choosing euthanasia instead.

Of course, there were also recent news of Silent Ones awakening.

Could it be that Li Yi’s mother had awoken today as a Silent One?

"What a joke."

Suddenly, an injured Cultivator of the Spiritual Realm yelled, "How could that ghostly thing possibly be Li Yi’s mother, her hands are covered in mortuary spots, and her eyes are empty. She doesn’t look like a living person at all..."

"Zhao Tai, shut up this minute," Li Shaqing urgently chided at that moment.

This Zhao Tai from the Cultivator Association, who was also his teammate for this mission, although his analysis made sense, with the unclear situation it was better to observe more and speak less, otherwise, if trouble was provoked, no one could save them, but he also understood Zhao Tai’s breakdown, as the pressure was indeed immense.

Gu Mengping had just behaved in the same way.

However, as soon as Li Shaqing’s words fell, his expression suddenly changed dramatically, a look of horror appearing in his eyes; he saw that behind Zhao Tai, at some point, an extra person had appeared.

That person was... Li Yi’s mother.

When had she appeared behind Zhao Tai?

This couldn’t simply be described as fast; it was almost like teleporting.

Wait.

Something was off.

Suddenly.

Li Shaqing glanced sideways once again and shockingly found that Li Yi’s mother was still standing at her original location, not having disappeared.

If Li Yi’s mother was still there, then who was the person standing behind Zhao Tai?

Li Shaqing looked left and right and was horrified to discover that the two women looked alike, with identical heights and no difference, as if perfectly duplicated.

Was there such a bizarre thing under the heavens?

At that moment, not only did he notice, but everyone also noticed another woman identical to the first had appeared behind Zhao Tai.

"Damn it."

At this, Zhao Tai also sensed the presence of the person behind him and yelled, attempting to strike back.

But it was already too late.

A pale hand covered in mortuary spots had already landed on his shoulder, and the woman behind him even flashed a strange smile, as if greeting him.

Yet, it was this gesture that suddenly caused Zhao Tai to freeze on the spot, motionless, with the gleam in his eyes extinguishing all at once.

It was as if the spark of life had been mercilessly extinguished.

Zhao Tai was dead!

A master of the Spiritual Realm had their consciousness so easily erased, dying without a sound.

Such a scene was spine-chilling.

That was a master of the Spiritual Realm, after all. Even when Liu Yan had killed earlier, it wasn’t this eerie. At least then, some movements could be captured, at least some logic could be grasped, but now with Li Yi’s mother killing, it was impossible to understand or counter.

Moreover.

Why were there two Li Yi’s mothers?

Too many questions had already made it impossible for them to continue thinking, all they could do was stay in place motionless, silent, avoiding catching her attention.

"Damn it..."

At that moment, Li Shaqing gritted his teeth as he watched his teammate die, powerless.

But at this moment, he understood Lin Yue’s apprehension.

Li Yi’s mother was definitely a forbidden topic to mention. Just now, his teammate had mentioned her and that’s why he was killed. Wait, that wasn’t right either, Lin Yue also mentioned Li Yi’s mother, so why was she unharmed?

Li Shaqing then looked at Lin Yue,

Could it be because she was close to Li Yi, so Li Yi’s mother tolerated her?

The thick blood rain from the sky grew heavier, coating everyone in a crimson sheen, emitting a corpse-like putrid stench, but they had to endure it, as it was nothing compared to death.

In the midst of blood rain, Li Yi’s mother continued to walk forward, her body unstained by blood; the rain seemed to pass right through her and fell to the ground.

This scene was peculiar.

However, enough bizarre events had happened today that even when compared with the mass of corpses blanketing the sky, these seemed trivial.

At that moment, Li Yi’s mother’s steps, neither hastened nor delayed, brought her beside him.

"What does she want to do?" everyone watched the scene.

Now, Li Yi was possessed by a fierce ghost, which was not yet dead and could control Li Yi to attack anyone here at any moment.

However, they were also thinking that if the fierce ghost and Li Yi’s mother could fight, that might at least get rid of one threat.

Under everyone’s gaze, they saw Li Yi’s mother now raise her chilling hand and then stretch it toward Li Yi’s head.

However, eerily, the hand did not injure Li Yi. Like an illusion, it actually penetrated into Li Yi’s skull without any blood or bone tearing, just a sharp, familiar, and grating scream heard.

"It’s that woman’s voice from before..."

They had recognized the voice, having encountered Liu Yan more than once before.

As Li Yi’s mother’s chilling hand slowly withdrew, they saw a ghostly shadow being forcefully pulled out from Li Yi’s body. No matter how the fierce ghost struggled and screamed, it had no way of escaping, still firmly gripped by that hand.

"Even though it’s a fleshly body, it can grab a ghostly fierce ghost and extract it from its possessed state." Everyone was amazed, because this scene was also incomprehensible.

But this was at least good news; it proved Li Yi’s mother had animosity toward that fierce ghost, and if both sides collided, at least one would be doomed.

But from the current situation, the one doomed was the fierce ghost.

Now that the fierce ghost had left a living body, with nothing to attach to, it quickly suffered from contamination and erosion. The spectral body began to dissipate at a rate visible to the naked eye and continued to emit painful moans.

However, through all of this, Li Yi’s mother remained expressionless from beginning to end, her hollow eyes lifeless, only a creepy smile hung on her pale face.

After the fierce ghost struggled for a while, it finally reached its limit, eroded by contaminated cosmic energy, completely vanishing into thin air.

An entity that had caused so much damage to the old city district, an existence even masters of the Spiritual Realm couldn’t handle, died just like that?

If so, how strong was Li Yi’s mother now?

Or as Li Shaqing had analyzed, this wasn’t an entity that human power could contend with anymore.

At this moment, no one spoke, all kept silent, and even dared not meet those hollow eyes, fearing they might end up like Zhao Tai, dying mysteriously.

The scene was as silent as death.

This situation lasted several minutes.

Not until Li Yi’s body started moving again, showing signs of awakening, did Li Yi’s mother slowly back away and start walking towards the dark alley nearby.

"It’s leaving."

On seeing this, everyone felt a surge of relief, leaving was for the best; at least they didn’t have to fret about any new attacks, dying inexplicably.

And as Li Yi’s mother departed, the numerous bodies that had covered the sky also swiftly started to disappear, and the incessant dripping of blood also began to cease.

Everything was moving in a positive direction.

At that moment, people also began to hear the sound of helicopters circling above in the nearby sky, and could see the city lights in the distance.

But everyone still did not make any rash moves and continued watching the woman as she left.

A moment later.

The darkness that had enveloped the area finally dissipated, and it seemed as though the day brightened, the corpses above disappearing, leaving the sky normal again; all of what had just happened seemed like an illusion, now completely vanished.

"Has Li Yi’s mother really gone?" Yu Chuan said after a long pause.

But at the next moment.

Everyone’s Spiritual Sense sent warnings again, and in a daze, they saw a pair of hollow, numb eyes; the darkness that had disappeared was now instantly back.

"Stop talking!" Zhang Lei shouted.

He was sweating coldly, understanding the value in Lin Yue’s words, Li Yi’s mother was absolutely not to be mentioned casually, or it would bring great disaster.
