Is that where Starfire and their team went?

Li Yelai’s heart skipped a beat.

Fortunately, Li Yunyan couldn’t leave the house; she was still in the family apartments, so that should be very safe.

“So you’re saying that we won’t have any reinforcements in the short term?” Cheese sighed, “We’ll have to rely on ourselves.”

“Unfortunately, that’s the case.

I hope you can regroup with your teammates.” Bald responded, “If possible, please suppress the Mobius Ring Map as quickly as you can, once the Mobius Ring Map affects the lower half…”

Li Yelai answered in a heavy tone, “I know!”

He understood the gravity of the situation; the most dangerous thing was not the combination of the Dream-Eating Rhinoceros and the Ice and Snow Witch, but the Mobius Ring Map itself!

If its maze expanded to the deeper layers of the Black Prison lower half, then Class B, even Class A Forbidden Items might be able to break containment!

‘Fuck, this time, I might really have to trade with Mr.

Shadow.’ Thought Li Yelai.

“Also, be careful of the Zhe Lan King Flag!” Bald’s voice was full of caution.

“The Zhe Lan King Flag, that acceleration Taboo Item?” Li Yelai inquired, “What about it?”

“Its danger…level…increased, avoid it…” Bald’s voice was intermittent, and eventually, only the noisy current remained in the communicator.

It seemed the signal was completely lost.

After ending the communication, Li Yelai couldn’t help but feel a heavy heart.

At this moment, Cheese had also put on the clothes and shoes that Li Yelai had brought.

Due to the difference in height, they were ill-fitting.

But the good news was, Li Yelai had previously brought her a bag of candy, avoiding the limitation on her using her abilities.

Cheese picked up the candy and said in a calm tone, “Remember the Taboo Items we encountered before?”

“Of course.” Li Yelai nodded.

“That’s good, don’t put pressure on yourself.

When encountering Taboo Items, go about suppressing them in an orderly fashion.” Cheese cheered, her somewhat pale delicate face revealing a smile, “With my support here, just hold on tightly!”

“Don’t worry, I’m also very brave!” Li Yelai said, carrying a long knife, and replied quietly.

Both of them were lying, faced with this kind of situation.

Neither Cheese nor Li Yelai could possibly have any certainty in their hearts.

All they could do was try their best.

And so, the two of them walked out of the room and began to grope for the path.

The Mobius Ring Map’s abilities were highly peculiar; any junction or gate could lead to any location.

When Cheese opened a lounge door, what she saw was a containment room.

The Taboo Item previously contained there had already escaped, and on the ground lay three brutally mutilated corpses of administrative staff.

Their issued guns had run out of bullets, and their bodies looked as though they had been repeatedly trampled by some giant beast.

Blood was splattered on the walls and floor.

In their last moments, they had not given up resistance, but the enemy was too terrifying, and all resistance was futile.

Looking at their pained and angry broken expressions.

Li Yelai felt increasingly heavy-hearted.

Cheese, on the other hand, calmly stepped forward to close their eyes, then began to examine their wounds.

“Crushed by a hoof, they were trampled to death.” Cheese frowned, “Which Taboo Item could it be?

Do we have such a Taboo Item in the upper half?”

In her memory, it seemed the East City Branch didn’t have such a Taboo Item capable of such slaughter.

The Class B Centaur was a possibility; it had hooves.

And…

it was a Taboo Item from the lower half.

Thinking this, her expression grew even more grim.

“Could it be that the Mobius Ring Map has already infiltrated the lower half?” Cheese voiced with a hint of despair.

This implied that it was very possible they might run into Class B Taboo Items next.

Only team captain Yang Chen and the Elite Night Patrol were capable of confronting such level of Taboo Items.

“No.” Li Yelai waved his hand, “Definitely not, otherwise, with my luck, I’d meet Class B as soon as I open a door.”

Indeed, if the lower levels were also thrown into the labyrinth.

Then with Li Yelai’s luck, upon opening a door, he would have likely received a ‘hello’ from a Class B Taboo Item and then be devoured alive.

“You haven’t even activated your ability; we shouldn’t run into that kind of bad luck.” Cheese managed a smile.

The next moment, though, they suddenly heard several gunshots and felt a faint vibration.

“It’s a pistol!”

Li Yelai and Cheese looked at each other, seeing the surprise in each other’s eyes.

Immediately, they dashed out of the containment room, sprinting towards the direction of the gunshots.

Most Spiritual Ability Users don’t use guns.

The ones who carry pistols in the Black Prison are basically administrative staff.

When necessary, they would use their pistols to try to suppress the Taboo Items, or…

give themselves a quick death.

Since it was confirmed that they were administrative personnel, they needed to meet up with them immediately!

Who knows, maybe other Processor colleagues might also reach there.

But just as they were about to arrive, the previously dense and intense gunfire gradually thinned out.

Li Yelai and Cheese’s hearts sank, and they both readied themselves for battle.

And when they charged around the corner,

they saw a bloodied, bare-chested administrative worker

chasing two administrative workers who were returning fire.

At his feet, several others were lying down, life and death unknown.

At the moment, that man’s back was turned towards Li Yelai and Cheese, rapidly closing in on the two administrative workers ahead.

What’s this situation?

Administrative attacking administrative?

Upon witnessing this scene, Cheese’s complexion changed, and without time to ask about the situation, he said in a grave voice, “[Listen to me] Cardiac arrest!”

The bare-chested man stumbled, then suddenly turned to look at them.

This allowed them both to see a crimson heart attached to the man’s chest, with red blood vessels merging into the skin; the red heart was pounding violently.

A Class B Forbidden, the Heart of Slaughter!

After being equipped, physical power would continuously be enhanced.

The longer it was worn, the greater the physical enhancement.

But the cost was the breeding of greed in the heart.

The bearer would yearn for more power, hence reluctant to let go of the heart.

Just a bit more, just a bit stronger.

Until eventually, they lost their reason and turned into killing machines!

Therefore, the official use of this Taboo Item was treated with extreme caution.

Processors who wanted to use it to enhance their physical bodies not only had to pay Merit Points but also undergo it under strict protection.

It would be removed immediately once time was up, to prevent any mishap.

But clearly, this administrative had already turned into a killing machine, beginning a mad slaughter of his own colleagues.

“Is there any hope for him?” Li Yelai advanced with his knife.

“There’s none…

it’s too late,” Cheese said solemnly.

“I understand,” Li Yelai exhaled, “I’ll send him off!”

Meanwhile, upon spotting the two of them, the killing machine immediately changed its target.

He swiftly bent down to pick up a fire axe at his feet and then sprinted towards them.

The formidable physical power was now on par with the second level of True Martial.

The tens of meters of distance was closed almost instantaneously.

He raised the fire axe high, as if he intended to use the Powerful Splitting Huashan on Li Yelai!

But at the same time, Cheese spoke, “[Listen to me] Close your eyes!”

The killing machine instantly shut his eyes, and the Powerful Splitting Huashan swung through the air.

When he opened his eyes, all he saw was his own headless body weakly collapsing.

In the instant he closed his eyes, Li Yelai had swung his knife horizontally, slashing at his neck.

Even the enhanced body couldn’t withstand the sharpness of the Spiritual Ability Equipment.

In the fraction of a second of lost vision, Li Yelai had decapitated him.

But an unexpected twist occurred!

The moment the headless body fell, the Heart of Slaughter suddenly detached from the corpse, shooting towards Li Yelai at incredible speed.

Li Yelai and Cheese were both shocked; this was an unprecedented phenomenon!

Could it still lose control even after being suppressed?

What sort of sit-up exercise was this?

Was it never-ending?

In such close-quarters assault, Li Yelai had no time to dodge.

The Heart of Slaughter penetrated his Spiritual Barrier, adhering to the back of Li Yelai’s hand.

The next moment, the Heart of Slaughter merged into his arm.

Li Yelai felt a chill rise from his heart, he immediately undid his clothing, tearing open the collar.

Then, he saw a crimson heart, powerfully pulsating in the center of his chest.

Golden-red blood vessels spread like a spiderweb, sticking to his skin.

Simultaneously, some formidable power began pouring into his body, as if awakening once again, as his body started to become enhanced.

“Fuck me, I can’t handle such outrageous fortune.”
