Chapter 433: Chapter 433: Sphere
The liquid splattered from these corpses, although it can’t corrode the armor,
it quickly erodes large holes in the floor upon contact.
Luckily, Baiyu, with foresight, had activated the Forbidden Armament.
Otherwise, if this liquid were to splash onto the body, it would instantly corrode flesh and bone.
Moreover, this liquid likely carries other special effects.
The person closest to this corpse is in the greatest danger.
With the slightest carelessness,
one could be bitten by the corpse.
Baiyu could easily imagine the consequences of being bitten.
After he blew up the corpse’s head,
the fungi wrapped around the corpse began to disperse.
They wriggled on the thick fungal carpet on the ground, starting to surround the room’s only living being.
The doors and windowsills were wrapped in fungi.
Any exit path was sealed in an instant.
The intent of these fungi is to completely devour Baiyu.
Just like the corpse of the Inspection Department member lying on the ground.
"Trouble. These things are clearly conscious and seem impossible to kill."
The fungi he had just torn apart had already reassembled.
Baiyu repeatedly stepped back.
The powerful protection of the Forbidden Armament rendered these fungi helpless, but only temporarily.
Once Baiyu’s Blood Qi runs out and the Forbidden Armament disappears,
his flesh would be exposed to the fungi.
The situation is urgent.
Baiyu can’t afford to think too much; with all his might, he punches the side wall.
Boom!
A reverberating sound echoes.
Originally just a wall of cement and bricks, it remained completely motionless.
An odd rebounding force enveloped the entire room.
Baiyu furrowed his brows.
His experience surviving bizarre incidents told him not to panic now.
Otherwise, his chances of survival would plummet.
His gaze swiftly scanned the surroundings, spiritual intuition heightened.
The thick fungal carpet nearly covered over sixty percent of the room’s area, yet Baiyu noticed the anomaly.
The anomaly was with the corpse.
He found many fungi growing from the corpse and then spreading throughout the room.
Baiyu took two steps forward, arriving before the corpse.
Immediately,
a black long blade appeared in his hand.
Moon Blade.
The Holy Blade given by Yi Xian.
He sliced open the abdomen of the corpse, the sharp blade encountering no resistance.
In the process, the corpse bled not a drop, only that corrosive black liquid splattered out.
The internal organs of the corpse had long disappeared.
Even the most seasoned organ trafficker couldn’t clean it out so thoroughly.
Inside the empty belly skin were tangled fungi threads.
Like a nest nurturing them.
Amid the fungi threads,
a bright, jewel-like red pearl caught the eye.
It emitted an intoxicating red glow.
Baiyu felt a potent spiritual power from the pearl, causing his mind to become actively restless, his brain starting to flood.
Countless demons whispered in his ears.
Your eyes witnessed all sorts of hallucinating patterns.
He gritted his teeth, endured the terrifying spiritual power, and reached for the pearl.
On the palm,
from the mouth opening,
a crimson tongue extended, licking the lips’ edge.
As if seeing an unparalleled delicacy.
But under the cover of Forbidden Armament,
it could only be trapped within the iron, unable to directly touch the red pearl.
If Baiyu hadn’t kept suppressing it,
the tongue might have burst through the Forbidden Armament’s defense to swallow the pearl directly.
Baiyu dared not act recklessly.
While the mouth on his palm seems eerie enough to eat anything,
and what it eats doesn’t enter his body,
he dared not risk his life to find out.
Life is singular; once gone, it’s forever gone.
At this moment,
Baiyu endured the spiritual agony, slowly approached the red pearl, and finally seized it in his palm.
Upon grasping it,
a ripple occurred in Baiyu’s mind.
Soon the red pearl disappeared from his palm, appearing in the empty storage compartments of the scholar space.
He didn’t directly manipulate any of this,
rather, the scholar space autonomously responded, as if the pearl had triggered its defense mechanism.
The moment the pearl was swallowed,
the eerie sinister aura in the room gradually faded.
At that moment, the red fungi lost all vitality, turning into endless fluff.
In mere tens of seconds,
the once terrifying and eerie room akin to Hell abruptly returned to normal.
As if nothing had ever happened.
Only the floor, with two grim and terrifying corpses, spoke of the past horror.
Baiyu took a deep breath, the Mechanical Armament slowly disbanding.
This was truly a stroke of luck...
Originally, he thought it was just a simple Extraordinary event.
Yet these bizarre fungi had clearly exceeded the realm of "ordinary."
After resting for a while.
Baiyu opened the entrance.
Outside,
A group led by Hu Yue from the Inspection Department nervously stared into the room.
When they entered before, there weren’t so many fungi.
Despite this, some people were trapped inside.
Baiyu’s safe emergence allowed everyone to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Minister, what exactly is the situation inside? Can we go in now?"
Hu Yue anxiously asked this question.
"The situation has been resolved, but everyone inside is dead. You all can go in and handle the bodies."
Baiyu said.
The crowd’s expressions subtly changed.
As the door opened wide, the scene inside met their gaze.
Those crimson fungi had completely vanished.
Two corpses lying on the floor.
Seeing the scene of the corpses, the crowd felt somewhat uneasy.
Quickly,
the police department called for an ambulance.
Baiyu narrated the scene to the police department officer in the room.
"Minister Bai, after experiencing such an incident, we recommend you go for a pollution level check."
A police officer expressed concern.
"Actually, there’s no significant issue, but for peace of mind, I’ll make some time to go."
Your priority now is
to investigate the origin of these fungi."
Baiyu didn’t mention the red pearl.
Apart from that, he described everything that transpired on site without omission.
"Oh, right."
As the police were about to withdraw, Baiyu called out to their leader:
"Do you have contacts with Villiduo’s Anomaly Bureau?
If you do, I suggest transferring this case to them.
Though the issue has been resolved,
there’s no guarantee this won’t happen again.
Should these fungi spread widely, it would be a catastrophe for ordinary people."
Several police officers’ expressions turned serious.
"Thank you for the reminder, Minister Bai. We’ll immediately contact the Anomaly Bureau upon returning.
Why don’t you accompany us for a visit?
The Anomaly Bureau just happens to have the most advanced pollution level detection devices."
That officer suggested.
Baiyu thought about it, and it was a good idea to go himself.
He needed knowledge on the fungi and the evil entities encountered last time.
Villiduo.
Deeper waters compared to places like Maple Leaf County.
