An evil aura!

Zhou Kai narrowed his eyes, as he could see the anomaly up ahead on the road.

There was an indistinct black aura circulating in the distance. This black aura reached the outside of the guarded area, and the people who were watching and discussing it seemed to sense a coldness and subconsciously stepped away from it.

“This evil anomaly is awesome!” Zhou Kai exclaimed in surprise.

He was no longer a greenhorn now so he had some basic knowledge.

Evil anomalies were currently hiding in China but did not dare to do any evil. Otherwise, they would have been suffering from the relentless suppression and annihilation of the Analogous Department. Only such a high-handed policy could give China decades of peace.

However, evil anomalies had actually dared to come out and commit crimes. They actually looked very arrogant.

Were they even taking the Analogous Department seriously?

Huh!

Just as Zhou Kai was sizing this aura up, his eyes narrowed in a certain direction.

A few cars drove up quickly and approached under the guidance of the police before a large group of people came out.

This group of people was mostly composed of heavily-armed soldiers and a few Daoist priests and monks. Among them was the middle-aged man from the Analogous Department he had just met that morning. When they had parted ways, he had introduced himself as Qin Feng, the head of the Anyang branch of the Analogous Department.

After these people arrived, they headed straight toward the guarded road.

“Little kid, this road is sealed off. We need to take a detour. It’ll take us a few more kilometers, so this will cost money,” the old man driving the electric pedicab said without being polite.

Zhou Kai said, “There’s no need. I’ll get down here.”

After saying that, Zhou Kai got down from the pedicab with Little Leopard Cat and walked somewhere far away to watch the guarded road.

“Little Leopard Cat, did you see anything?” Zhou Kai asked.

Little Leopard Cat shook her head. “Except for the evil aura, I can’t see anything else. However, I sense that it’s very dangerous inside.”

Zhou Kai remained silent.

This anomaly was so dangerous that it terrified the Little Leopard Cat and the Analogous Department.

However, the anomaly was EXP Zhou Kai could use to level up as well as a gift pack of skills.

Even though he clearly knew there was good stuff inside, he couldn’t find a reason to enter the place.

After all, there were police officers on guard outside and the Analogous Department was handling the internal situation.

Under the circumstances, it would be nonsensical for an outsider like him to barge into the place and say that he was going to save someone. Others would think that he was harboring other thoughts and was definitely troublesome and difficult to get rid of.

Therefore, Zhou Kai could only slowly observe the situation, as he didn’t want to put himself in a difficult situation.

Time passed little by little.

Because there were more and more police officers, the crowd of onlookers also dispersed. After all, they were not allowed to be watching.

Zhou Kai and Little Leopard Cat also went somewhere to have a drink and watched from afar.

“They’re out!” Someone cried out in surprise. This was a person who wasn’t afraid to stay behind and continue to watch the fun.

After all, what was happening on the road was too weird.

Everyone had been discussing this so they had a general idea about it.

Things had been fine that afternoon, and many stores had been open for business on that street as usual.

However, weird things had suddenly happened in the afternoon. Someone had jumped off the building of the busiest hotel on that road, the Grand View Hotel. Seven more people had also jumped off the building from the highest floor, including people of both genders. They had all been naked and young. It was reported that the death scene was too gruesome, and they would not rest in peace, which was particularly frightening.

It turned out that police officers had gone in to investigate the matter. However, they had only entered and had not come out. Nobody could contact them either. They had stirred up a hornets’ nest. Both sides of the streets had soon been sealed off, and the crowd had dispersed and not been allowed to go near the area.

Gunshots were heard a few times on the street, and there were also some sounds of thunder and an earthquake, causing the surrounding residents to be persuaded to leave. Officials said that they had discovered a special, vicious fugitive and were trying to capture him. Despite that, nobody believed their words. All sorts of rumors spread over the streets.

As everyone exclaimed in surprise, Zhou Kai saw a group of people walk over from the sealed-off street. They were fewer than the people that had gone in. None of the monks was present, except for a Daoist priest who looked very tattered. Even the Analogous Department’s Qin Feng saw the blood on his body, which made him look exhausted.

These people cautiously lifted a jar-like thing with a yellow cloth wrapped around it. Many soldiers were holding guns and guarding the front and back before escorting him to a car and quickly leaving the place.

After those people left, the police officers still did not remove the cordon. Instead, they stayed behind to guard the place.

Zhou Kai found out that the evil aura deep within the road had weakened greatly and was continuing to do so.

“Has the thing inside been taken away?” Zhou Kai asked.

Little Leopard Cat replied, “It should have been taken away. I can’t sense the dangerous aura inside anymore. The Analogous Department of Anyang is pretty good.”

Zhou Kai, who was skeptical, asked, “What exactly is that thing? Why did it appear among the crowd?”

Little Leopard Cat answered, “I’m not sure about that. I’ve always stayed in the mountains. Besides what my mother taught me, I only have information based on my heritage. I don’t know much about the outside.”

Zhou Kai remained silent.

Although Little Leopard Cat wasn’t sure about that, he felt that such a thing should have also existed in the past.

The gas pipeline leakages, factory explosions, and epidemics happening in some places had all been a disguise, which was what they had seen that day.

However, what was that? Was it an evil anomaly?

An evil anomaly wouldn’t be that foolish, right? Due to the relentless crackdown of the Analogous Department for so many years, they had been struggling at death’s door. It was not easy to survive, so they didn’t have a reason to be doing something so crazy. They would just be digging a pit for themselves.

Doubts seemed to have sprouted in his mind that couldn’t be dispelled.

After pondering this for a while, Zhou Kai looked at Little Leopard Cat. “Can your magic be used on me to reduce my existence so that other people will not notice me?”

Little Leopard Cat widened her eyes. “Big Brother, you’re not thinking of breaking in, are you?”

Zhou Kai replied with a smile. “Yes. Do you want to?”

Little Leopard Cat looked at the sealed-off road. She couldn’t resist her curiosity and had a strong desire to discover things she didn’t know about.

“That threat is gone. We can go check it out.” Little Leopard Cat nodded.

Zhou Kai said, “It’s a deal. Let’s go then.”

After leaving the beverage stall, Little Leopard Cat used some kind of magic. The two of them entered the sealed-off area and walked deep into the road from a small alley.

On the way, they observed the circulation of the evil aura and arrived at the Grand View Hotel, which was the place that everyone had been talking about.

Zhou Kai knew this hotel, not because he had been there before, but because he had heard about it from his classmate. It was said that this hotel had been built thanks to the investment of a few rich second-generation heirs of Anyang City. It featured luxurious facilities and all kinds of entertainment and could provide all kinds of services. There were all kinds of people, and the same applied to music. There were actually 36 kinds of techniques. This area was known as Little East Bay. Usually, people didn’t dare go in without some kind of background.

However, this hotel, which used to be lively, was completely deserted now. The luxurious hotel door was like a cold, vicious monster with its mouth wide open that frightened people.

Although she couldn’t sense that dangerous aura, Little Leopard Cat still pulled Zhou Kai’s arm with a grave expression.

Zhou Kai smiled and patted Little Leopard Cat’s shoulders before going in.

The hotel lobby was empty and dark. Only sofas and coffee tables could be seen, as well as the dazzling front desk, but there was no sight of people at all.

When Zhou Kai was ready to enter, he suddenly heard a slap, slap, slap.

This slapping sound was very rhythmic.
