Chapter 177 The Attention Being Drawn

After sneaking into the office of the person in charge, Yao Yan used the same method to open the door, entered and waited in ambush.

After he sneaked into the room, the guard of the crematorium did not disturb him again.

Dawn came soon.

One, two, three sound sources.

Outside the room, it gradually became noisy.

This crematorium is located on the edge of District 4. As the crematorium that received the largest number of dead people, even the entire district was named after this crematorium.

And the only people who would come to this area were the employees of the crematorium, the relatives of the deceased, the police, etc.

Yao Yan waited silently by the door.

The person in charge of the crematorium, the director Carlos Brook, is the most hardworking person in the entire crematorium, no one else.

He left the crematorium the latest and was one of the first few people to arrive at the crematorium.

After taking out the key number 14 from the guard room, the person in charge stood in front of the window and looked towards the cemetery.

He stood in front of the tall window, staring at the scene in the cemetery across the street, looking very solemn.

Even if he didn't speak, it would be difficult for others not to deal with him in a serious manner.

Because his race is "Lich".

His body is thin, and except for the skin, there is almost no flesh and blood, just like a humanoid creature like a skeleton.

His withered skin is tightly attached to the bones, as if he really has no flesh and blood.

The graying of his temples and swollen bags under his eyes are not caused by staying up late, but the characteristics of his race.

His eyes are like pupils that have been treated with antiseptic treatment, shriveled but without signs of decay, but the pupils that seem to emit red light are enough to make people retreat.

The person in charge of the crematorium, who is like a corpse, returns his sight from the scenery outside the window, takes the key, and walks to his office.

It is not winter yet, and the room is not cold and does not need heating, but the movements of the lich Carlos Brook are quite slow.

This is also a manifestation of race.

He slowly came to the door of his office.

However, he did not use the key to open the door immediately.

Because, his shriveled eyes looked at the lock of the door, as if he had discovered something.

Then, his movements slowed down a lot.

Silently, he raised his left hand, and at the same time, he held the key in his right hand, inserted it into the lock, and opened the door.

Almost the moment the door was pushed open by him, his left hand suddenly thrust forward.

Then, amid the sound of the machine opening and closing, the shriveled arm suddenly turned inside out, and countless root-like things suddenly extended from the dead wood-like arm, piercing towards the positions on both sides of the door like tentacles.

But

There was no feeling of hitting the target.

The room was empty.

The office was dark, with only a faint light coming in from the gap between the closed curtains.

No one sneaked in?

The sight of the lich Carlos Brook's shriveled eyes froze slightly, sweeping across the ground, walls, and ceiling.

No.

Although there were slight traces on the door that proved that the room had been opened by something other than a key, it now seemed that the other party had left after sneaking in.

Thief?

Thief who came to the crematorium to steal?

Or?

The lich walked into the room with his dry eyelids slightly closed, and the arm that spread out from his left hand and expanded like a tree root was also retracting.

After confirming that there were no enemies, he closed the door and walked towards the curtain.

As he walked, he pretended to take off his coat and hang it on the hanger by the window.

However, in this dark room, his action of hanging the coat suddenly stagnated.

The sight from the shriveled eyeball suddenly froze.

Almost instantly, his sight seemed to be pulled by something and turned to the left.

Next to the curtain, at the hanger, a black shadow was standing quietly.

It was a black shadow covered with white things all over his body!

Why didn't he find it?

The lich didn't have time to think about these things. He only heard a voice:

"Where is the information?"

Information?

The lich's sight subconsciously turned to the side, but at almost the same moment, he took action -

The two shriveled arms made a sound of wood friction, and with the sound of the opening and closing of the machine, countless twisted root-like tentacles sprang out of the two arms at the same time.

However, at this moment, when the root-like tentacles in his arms spread out, the black shadow standing next to the hanger suddenly disappeared.

The tentacles suddenly pierced into the wall, pierced through the hanger and the wall behind it, and pierced out of the wall.

Almost at the same time, the lich. The Yanren in the lich's posture felt that the feeling of being pulled disappeared.

However, in the next moment, he felt his sight being pulled again -

The misalignment of body movements and sight made this Yanren lich immediately realize that he was affected by the mental effect!

Almost instantly, the sound of the opening and closing of the machine came out of his chest and abdomen.

A shrunken arm-like thing formed by twisting root-like tentacles took out a card with a dense root pattern.

However, at this moment, he felt that something seemed to be attached to his arm that had pierced through the wall and was retracting.

At this moment, the feeling of being pulled away disappeared.

On the card with the dense root-like pattern, when the score of [3/3] became [2/3], countless roots quickly expanded around.

Almost instantly, all the positions in the room were covered by roots.

However, at the same time, the Yanren Lich found that his arm was covered with countless white spots.

There were nearly a hundred dense white spots.

And the source of these white spots was a group of white crows with horns on their heads.

The moment he saw a white crow flying on the roots spreading from his arm, his mind was touched-

When the mind moved completely integrated with the body, the body also moved at the same speed.

For the Yanren who integrated the mind and the body, their mind and body movements would be highly consistent.

There would be no situation where the physical movement could not keep up with the mental thinking.

However, such behavior.

When the dense roots pierced out like sharp thorns, the pierced white crows were not destroyed, but left white spots on the roots that pierced their bodies.

Moreover, at the same moment, he discovered that on these white spots, there were also black marks attached.

Those black marks were like shadows, like pairs of eyes—pairs of eyes with blurred outlines.

Not only that, when these blurred eyes appeared, he suddenly felt that his spiritual power was shrinking.

The body that was integrated with the spirit also declined rapidly at the same time.
