Chapter 15: Natural Disaster

Jiangli raised her head and looked around, and the apartment buildings before her stood silently like stone monuments.

Somethings wrong, she muttered.

Mr Rabbit is a level C threat, close to becoming a level B threat. Hence, he would have energy fluctuations, making it easy to detect him.

However, she couldnt detect him at all.

A sharp slashing noise could be heard behind her, and she dodged to the side.

The rain fell continuously, and a white after-image phased right past her.Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com

What is he doing here? she grumbled.

In that short moment when he was visible, he snorted before disappearing once again.

Jiangli parted her lips, wanting to ask him about something. At this moment, a strange and violent wave of energy could be felt from the opposite side of Lu Yibeis house.

The wave of energy swept past her like a tsunami, boiling molten iron, piercing screams of despair that struck fear in the depths of her soul, and swallowing everything like a painful vortex.

She turned pale.

That was a Level S energy fluctuation, but

Everybody knew that S rules the top of the pyramid of power, and one might even call them a walking natural disaster.

There were no more than five natural disaster-level threats recorded by the Night Division, and each of them caused tens of thousands of casualties.

Jiangli never thought that something as powerful as this would be in Huacheng.

Jiangli had to make the decision between saving Yibei and dealing with the threat.

Im sorry; Ill visit your grave often, Jiangli apologized softly before rushing towards the source of energy.

Between the lives of a handful of people or the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, it was obvious what she would pick.

Bai Kai knows hes in trouble somehow. That kid should be safe with him, she thought.

Although she disliked her colleague, she still trusted him.

Azure light shone into the open window, illuminating the apartment briefly.

The moment he saw Mr Rabbit, Lu Yibeis mind went blank, and his arms moved on their own. His panic and fearfulness were quite literally thrown out the window as he saw Mr Rabbit tumbling down the stairs.

The water tank and solar panel were covered with rust. The walls were peeling and uneven, and mould grew in the potholes on the ground.

Five members of the Night Division were sound asleep, and Hua was soaked in blood and unconscious.

Jiangli chased after the source of energy, but it disappeared almost instantly as if it had never appeared.

She stood solemnly on the roof of the building, turning around to look at the roof of another apartment building not far away. Doubt flashed in her eyes.

The roofs of these apartments looked as if they had been eroded over decades of time. Just what happened over here?

She briefly swept across the members of the Night Division. After confirming that they were fine, she took out a finger-sized reagent tube from her coat pocket and walked towards her maid.

Jiangli helped her up and leaned against the wall. She gently pricked her lips and poured the medicine into her mouth.

Her throat squirmed slightly as Jiangli forced her to swallow the liquid. Her wound that seeped through her shoulder stopped bleeding and healed, and the maid jolted awake and took deep breaths as if she had just been rescued from a drowning incident.

Jiangli let her maid catch her breath in her arms. Hua, do you feel better now?

Mistress we failed to protect the target.

Seeing Jiangli, she subconsciously thought they had failed their mission and Yibei was probably dead while Mr Rabbit had fled the scene.

No, its not your fault. Tell me what happened.

After all, theres no point in blaming anyone.

Miss, youre too kind, but

Get to the point, and stop that, she ordered calmly, slapping away Huas hand, who was trying to undress her.

What do you mean you were ambushed by monsters?

Thats strange, Jiangli thought. A group of Level D to Level C monsters? But I clearly felt something way stronger here.

We were caught off guard, the maid explained. If that girl hadnt come to our rescue, we wouldve died.

What girl? Jiangli tilted her head.

Perhaps the Level S energy fluctuations came from her?

Um, the maid closed her eyes, trying to recall the situation. She was tiny but had a good figure: long, brown, chestnut hair, wearing a lace skirt. She also had this long red scarf, which covered half her face, and she had a childish face too. Oh, and she refused to give us her name.

It seems like there were more strange psychic users who dwelled in Huacheng.
