Black Fog City was very quiet at night.
Since the "smell" on Zola and the others had yet to disperse, it could effectively drive away the monsters. The night watch was very easy.
Chung Shen-soo left his room and saw Rachel leaning against the wall with a rifle on her back. She took out a piece of apple that seemed to have been soaked in sugar from a can and swallowed it in satisfaction.
"You're still not sleeping? Go to the factory area tomorrow. There should be a lot of harvest. You'll have to work hard. "
Rachel asked casually.
"I can't sleep … I'm going to look around again … Maybe I'll find something."
Chung Shen-soo casually gave an excuse. "The power of a deity is so powerful. Can demon hunters really tolerate it?"
"I've never heard of anyone succeeding. In fact … most of the demon hunters in Sky City are at the servant level. When they reach the dependent level, it's easy for them to lose control and become monsters … There was once a mid-level dependent demon hunter who lost control and caused terrible casualties to the city."
Rachel sighed. "That's why people dislike demon hunters so much. They see them as bombs … Until now, we usually only cultivate demon hunters to the upper servant level to reduce the possible harm."
The Extraordinaries of this world are really miserable …
Chung Shen-soo sighed silently. Just as he was about to talk about something else, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked at a door.
That was … the room that Zola had chosen!
Bang!
There was a dull sound, accompanied by Zola's muffled groan.
"Something's wrong!"
Rachel's expression became extremely serious. She pulled the safety of her rifle and rushed into Zola's room.
It was originally a bedroom, filled with the pink of a young girl.
At that moment, Zola rolled off the bed in a sorry state. A wound suddenly appeared on her body.
"An invisible monster? It can't be driven away by our smell. Does that mean it's cunning and intelligent? "
Rachel reacted quickly and threw out a glass bottle.
Pa!
It smashed onto the ground, causing a large amount of dust to spread in the air.
This was an item similar to the Revealing Powder. It could make a monster with an invisibility effect appear.
But there was nothing in the air at that moment. There was no monster's silhouette.
"Zola … seems to be having a nightmare."
Chung Shen-soo looked at Zola, who was rolling on the ground. He realized that she still hadn't opened her eyes. The eyeballs under her eyelids kept rolling as if they were filled with some kind of pain.
"A monster from a dream? When she's hurt, will it be reflected in her physical body? "
Rachel's eyes slowly widened: "The faceless spirit described in the diary, it still exists here?"
"It seems that this is the case. We need the support of the Demon Hunters. Go find Jozu."
Chung Shen-soo said quickly.
"No need."
A weak voice sounded.
Zola suddenly opened her eyes. Her pupils shrunk and became vertical like a beast's.
In the next moment, this strange phenomenon disappeared so quickly that Rachel didn't even notice it.
"Captain … are you alright?"
Rachelle quickly took out the bandage and treated Zola's wound.
"I can't sleep here, there's a monster attack in my dreams … Damn it, there's an error in the intelligence. There's a Spiritual Contaminant in Black Fog City, and it's even a dependent!"
Zola quickly picked up her gun and didn't suppress her voice: "Emergency assembly!!!"
A few minutes later, in the hall, all the members of the scavenger vanguard team had gathered and stood in a row.
"Now … report your names and positions!"
Zola's muzzle vaguely pointed at everyone, her tone extremely strict.
"Rachel, scavenger, combat, patrol, night watch …"
Rachel replied loudly.
"Jozu, scavenger, Demon Hunter, responsible for dealing with the Spiritual Contaminant, confirm the mental state of each team member …"
Jozu, who didn't have much of a presence, replied.
"Li Wei, labor, transport …" Chung Shen-soo looked around.
"I … I'm Demon Hunter Koror, I seem to have sensed something?" Koror's expression was somewhat panicked.
…
All the team members answered loudly. Soon, Zola's gaze fell on the last person. "What about you?"
"Ai … Isengard, team … member … also combat …"
Isengard's behavior was very strange. Like a child who had just learned to speak, he couldn't speak clearly at first, but then he became fluent.
Whoosh!
Everyone subconsciously kept their distance from him, forming an isolated circle.
"Captain, why are you all looking at me like that?" Isengard looked very wronged.
Zola coldly raised the muzzle and aimed it at Isengard.
"Captain …" Isengard's expression became painful. "I … I pursued you, I'm Isengard … Rachel, do you remember the candy I gave you?"
"Captain?"
Just as Rachel's expression became hesitant, she heard a gunshot.
Bang!
A large hole exploded in Isengard's chest, and flesh and blood splattered everywhere.
But he didn't fall. A fatal injury for an ordinary person didn't seem to cause him any harm.
This was because he was gradually becoming inhuman!
"There's a Faceless Spirit here, and those who are controlled by it will become its puppets! These puppets' speech and memories are very vague at first, but through various stimuli, they will gradually become fluent … "
Jozu suddenly understood and said loudly.
"So, Isengard didn't know how to speak at first, but he gradually learned and became fluent … And he didn't have much memory at first, but when he saw Zola, the memories in his subconscious were stimulated and surfaced, and he knew what happened in the past … This, this is a bit scary. If he's given enough time, he can perfectly disguise as Isengard … "
Chung Shen-soo nodded to himself.
The Faceless Spirit's dream attack and the ability to control puppets were indeed very troublesome.
In fact, if one wasn't careful, the entire team might be unknowingly affected and be swapped.
"Only Demon Hunters have a special mind and may have a little resistance. Other ordinary people don't even know how they died. This is the horror of mental corruption …"
Chung Shen-soo glanced at Zola, then suddenly looked at Koror.
"You will always be our brother!"
Zola lowered her head slightly, as if she was mourning. A few seconds later, she looked at the monster whose chest was already broken and fired again.
Bang!
Isengard's entire head exploded, and all kinds of red and white liquid flowed all over the ground.
The scavengers present, even the youngest Rachel, didn't show any abnormalities. They just silently prepared to deal with the possible attack of the monster.
The courses in Sky City taught that if the monster could still move after its heart and head were destroyed, it could only be burned to ashes!
Fortunately, the monster fell to the ground and finally stopped moving.
"Isengard …" Only then did Rachel emerge with sadness.
"Koror, shouldn't you explain why there's a dependent mental corruption here?"
Zola suddenly turned her gun and pointed at the Demon Hunter guide.
