“Alert status confirmed. Now increasing consciousness synchronization rate…”

“30%… 45%… 69%… 73%…”

“…”

At the Disaster Management and Assessment observation post on the eastern edge of Giant Horn City, Independent Investigator Wei Ya felt the machinery before him pull his consciousness into a vast sea. A slight smile touched his lips.

He was currently performing the highest-level authorized operation in Giant Horn City, but it was also an extremely dangerous act. Once his consciousness synchronization rate exceeded 70%, he would become the sole will within that sea.

However, once his consciousness entered this sea, the slightest misstep could cause him to become lost.

He would become just another lifeform in the Sea of Spiritual of Giant Horn City’s populace, forever unable to find his way back to his physical body.

The highest level of authority demanded the most efficient control.

When he issued commands within this sea, the six million citizens of Giant Horn City would fall into a trance, and their Spiritual Power would become his weapon.

Of course, such an ultimate power also came with terrifying consequences.

A one-second collective trance among the entire populace would trigger a flood of speculation and panic. A three-second trance could potentially spark unknown chaos and massive economic losses.

Therefore, everything had to be fast and precise.

As a seasoned Independent Investigator, he handled it all perfectly. The very microsecond his consciousness synchronization rate hit the required level, his will descended upon Giant Horn City, sealing off all fluctuations of Mysterious Power.

In the next moment, a gap was precisely opened in the reality-bed barrier located at the overpass on the west side of Giant Horn City.

“WHOOSH…”

The Old Vampire that had been relentlessly assaulting Giant Horn City rushed into the metropolis like a bleak, gray cloud.

Driven by an instinct to follow some trace, it flew straight for the hotel. As it drew near, it carved a wide arc in the sky, rushing headlong toward the projection of the Fertile Forest in the southwestern part of Giant Horn City.

Her state was extremely unstable at this moment.

At times, she was a swarm of grayish-white bats. At others, a giant bat-like monster with deathly pale skin and eerie red eyes. And then she would become a charming woman in a soft, classical Western court gown, her skin so fair it seemed to reflect all the city lights, with dark red hair and a pair of deep, azure eyes.

As she wheeled around with a whoosh outside the floor-to-ceiling window, her captivating face was less than two meters away from Han Su and the others.

Behind the glass, Lu Neng stared wide-eyed, his heart giving a single, hard THUMP.

…

‘Are they hiding in that hotel?’

Investigator Wei Ya immediately committed the hotel’s coordinates to memory.

But he knew how to prioritize. For now, he wouldn’t get sidetracked by other matters, lest an accident occur.

He hadn’t forgotten about the Queen Bee Mercenary Squad that had caused all this trouble, nor had he overlooked them. It was just that dealing with the Fertile Forest was the priority right now.

After all, he had forcibly taken control of the entire city. He could easily deal with the Giant Horn City crisis first, then use the aftershocks of the reality-bed to lock onto that Mercenary team. After that, it would only take 0.1 seconds to annihilate them.

This was a matter of being on a completely different level.

By borrowing the power of the reality-bed, even the problem of the Fertile Forest could be solved in a matter of seconds.

And right now, these next few seconds were the most crucial.

His consciousness permeated the Sea of Spiritual. The Old Vampire had entered the city, a bizarre cloud rushing straight for the projection of the Fertile Forest. The entire city had fallen into a trance—a dead, silent stillness. No one noticed, much less tried to stop it.

A smile involuntarily touched the corners of Mr. Wei Ya’s lips. In the face of the entire city’s power, all enemies could do was cower.

It wasn’t just that no one was stopping it; even if someone tried, he would instantly suppress them…

…And then, the unexpected happened.

Just as everything was falling into place, a massive black shadow pierced through the layers of clouds high above Giant Horn City, diving rapidly.

“Huh?”

Mr. Wei Ya, having taken control of the entire reality-bed, possessed the most comprehensive and detailed sensory perception. The sheer volume of information he received in that single instant nearly overwhelmed his mind.

He was on guard against any flow of Spiritual Power within the city and any potential impact from Mysterious Power outside of it. But the immense pressure bearing down from above felt… different from what he’d expected.

There was no Mysterious Power involved, yet it carried an extreme sense of crisis—a dire warning.

It was…

‘…a fucking airplane?’

…

‘What the hell?’

For a moment, it was as if Investigator Wei Ya’s brain had crashed. He couldn’t fathom how such a thing could be falling from the sky.

Even though he had seen the Disaster Management Bureau’s report on a “Ghost airplane” before starting his mission, he hadn’t made the connection. After all, any “ghost” plane, as long as it was tied to the supernatural, would be easy to deal with.

But the thing falling from the sky now didn’t seem to be powered by anything supernatural.

It was just a massive hunk of iron.

“Warning! Warning!”

It wasn’t just Investigator Wei Ya. As the object in the sky hurtled downward, accelerating until it was visible to the naked eye, the staff in the observation post spotted it too. Their jaws practically hit the floor.

“Mr. Wei Ya, quick—”

Forgetting everything else, the staff members screamed after running a quick calculation.
