Chapter 655: Chapter 655: Can’t Pretend Anymore

Soon, four people wearing coveralls got off two box-style vans. They opened the back of one of the vans, began to unload equipment – not only several hefty suitcases but also a specially designed electric powered hand trolley.

From the stretched limo up in front, the driver also got out, adjusting his suit, and looked at the blonde man by the club’s entrance.

The blonde man inclined his head to listen through an earpiece. It seemed he’d also received a message, so he had his colleagues take over his duties and walked towards the driver himself.

Even though the blonde man was a head taller than the driver, he approached with an expression of respect, slightly bowing, and carefully asked something in English.

The driver nodded at him and gave a hand signal to the team members who had descended from the two box-style vans.

Next, the driver and three team members, carrying a few big and small boxes, and pushing peculiarly designed trolleys, started heading towards the nightclub, leaving only one person guarding the vans.

Their attire, the objects they carried, all gave the impression they were heading to the nightclub for equipment maintenance or transporting goods. So, the men and women lined up at the entrance didn’t find them odd, at most finding the power-assisted trolley a bit fascinating, watching it for a few more moments.

Even though some people noticed that the limo’s driver was with them and that the blonde man’s attitude towards the driver was unusual, they naturally assumed some underground deal happening, thus didn’t dare to watch too closely.

Led by the blonde man, they went down the side path of the club to an underground area.

When they got to the second underground floor, the blonde man stopped, allowing them to proceed on their own.

After watching the four of them switch on their lights and walk into the slightly ajar metal door, the blonde man exhaled a hidden sigh of relief, belaying faint excitement.

In the underground passage, the four people walked carefully with their lights on. Even though they knew that the “target” below was already neutralized by an elite team sent from within the country, venturing into the underground, looking at the old materials of the tunnel ceiling and walls, they couldn’t help feeling a little anxious, because they all knew that they were executing a “Level A Task”.

When they arrived in the great hall and saw the giant monster sitting beside the cenotaph, everyone held their breath. Instinctively, they thought to use their weapons, but then remembered that no attack weapons were provided for this task.

“You made it down fairly quickly. Next, it’s all up to you,” a pleasant woman’s voice echoed in the hall.

“Ah, Miss Tang … thank you for your hard work,” the driver leading the team finally noticed Tang Baona, Yang Zhen Er, and Xiao Pingguo standing by the entrance.

Tang Baona knew what they were worried about. Now that the dismembered limbs of the “Old Vampire” had begun regenerating – muscular fibers hovering over the skeleton – it looked even more terrifying and strange than when he first crawled out of the cenotaph. It appeared like a “White-browed High-legged Spider”. It seemed as if he was not restrained and could attack at any moment. So, she reassured them:

“Don’t be scared. It doesn’t pose a threat now. We’re watching from the side, and everything’s under control. Did you bring the boxes?”

In the eyes of the recently arrived squad of four, the colossal, bizarre creature seemed to have no restrictions and just sat beside the stone sarcophagus. But in reality, in the eyes of the “Old Vampire” Gerald, the gargantuan “Short Fat Giant” still stood near him with a peculiar weapon, looking baleful and ready to strike at any moment.

This was because after he was defeated, Tang Baona directly followed the mission instructions and stuffed all the Super-connected Objects – the tungsten steel balls that were used to open the door – into his ears. Now, all these illusions appeared from residue of the “real projection” through the pair of amulets only he could see.

When he made no unusual movements, the “minion Lv Bu” beside him was merely a simple illusion. However, should he make any abnormal move, Alice could immediately make him experience the pain of wishing he was dead, through the “Super-connected Objects” implanted in his body.

Korowin and his companions followed their captain into the main hall, he secretly looked at Tang Baona and the others in amazement, the elites from the country were actually three girls who didn’t seem to be robust or tall?

Thinking that the “boss” of the Research Base was “Dr. Xia”, he was relieved. In the present era, in the field they are involved in, physique was never the standard to measure strength.

If he were to judge the three girls based on first impressions, he undoubtedly would have thought that the little girl wearing glasses similar to the X-men’s Laser Eye was the most powerful, followed by the tall girl wearing a coat hood and sunglasses. In comparison, the beautiful woman with black-rimmed glasses, referred to by the captain as “Miss Tang”, seemed to be the most ordinary and mundane.

However, he knew that since the captain spoke directly to “Miss Tang”, it proved that “Miss Tang” was the leader among the three. According to the usual rules of the field investigation department, her abilities were likely the strongest.

Korowin couldn’t help but wonder, how did these three girls tame that monster?

It seemed they didn’t carry any equipment or weapons, did they use “Superpowers”?

Were they the first batch of members from the “Superpowers Training Program” conducted by “Dr. Xia”?

While Korowin was speculating in his mind, he and his companion began to set up the equipment they brought according to requirements—a folding box made of special material. When it was unfolded and assembled, it was roughly the size of a double-door refrigerator.

Such a large box, if it’s used to contain a person, it would definitely be sufficient. But this huge creature in front of them, even disregarding its extremely long hands and feet, couldn’t stuff its torso in.

More importantly, it didn’t seem like something they could lift. Were they supposed to make it walk in by itself?

The three team members looked at their captain together, then the captain looked back at Tang Baona: “Miss Tang, the… it seems like it can’t fit?”

“Huh?” Tang Baona frowned, then turned around and whispered to Xiao Pingguo next to her: “Xiao Pingguo, what does the mission brief say?” She knew that Xiao Pingguo could directly view the mission brief and other related information through her glasses.

Before Xiao Pingguo could answer, Yang Zhen’er leaned over and whispered: “The mission brief says that the clean-up team just needs to bring the equipment in. It did not specify how to load it… Could it be that Alice didn’t calculate that this ‘Old Vampire’ is so large and arranged the wrong size for the box?”

Xiao Pingguo immediately said, “Impossible.”

While everyone was puzzled, the “Old Vampire” leaning against the stone coffin suddenly moved.

His two legs had not fully recovered, and his feet had not fully regrown, but he could already barely stand up.

Korowin and his companions who were closer were startled and instinctively backed up, retreating all the way to the entrance. The captain, who had seemed the most calm earlier, was no exception—even though Miss Tang had promised that this creature was “no threat”, it didn’t look “not threatening”.

Even Tang Baona and the others were somewhat surprised. They were holding the “Super coin” intending to activate the “Real Projection” again, but found that the “Old Vampire” walked to the unfolded and assembled box and tried to stuff himself into it.

However, his body was so massive, he had to squeeze himself into a ball to fit into the coffin, which was much larger than this box, how would he manage to get in now?
