Online Game: My Decay Drives the Entire Server Crazy

Chapter 109: First Collaboration to Handle Anomalies, Abyss Scouts Reveal Their True FormWhen Sister Chen visited again, Lin Ye was on the third-floor balcony of his studio, repotting a money tree that was on the verge of withering.

He had overwatered it last time, and half the leaves had turned yellow. He used a chopstick to loosen the compacted old soil piece by piece, his movements even more patient than the day he dealt with the president of the Dingsheng Group.

Fatty Wang led Sister Chen up to the third floor.

This time, she was wearing a dark blue combat uniform with tight cuffs and anti-stab boots, looking like a completely different person compared to her previous outfit of a simple jacket.

Behind her followed two young people, a man and a woman, both in the same combat attire, with the silver badge of the Guardian Alliance pinned to their chests, engraved with a shield and a circle of seal script characters.

Sister Chen did not sit down for tea as she had last time; she stood her ground and went straight to the point.

”Mr. Lin Ye, an anomaly has occurred at the Nancheng Wanda Mall.”

”Half an hour ago, objects in the waiting area of the fourth-floor cinema suddenly began to float for no reason. Over a dozen metal seats lifted off the ground to a height of over two meters before crashing down simultaneously.”

”Immediately after, the lighting system on the entire fourth floor went out of control, flickering for nearly five minutes.”

”Customers fled in panic, some were trampled and injured, and the mall has now been emergency evacuated.”

”Our team arrived on-site and detected strong Abyss energy fluctuations, the characteristics of which are almost identical to the energy spectrum released when you soloed the Abyss Dungeon in the game previously.”

Lin Ye stuck the small shovel in his hand into the side of the flowerpot, brushed the soil off his hands, stood up, and asked, ”Is it an Abyss Scout?”

Sister Chen nodded slightly.

”Based on the energy characteristics, it should be a low-level reconnaissance unit dispatched by the Abyss Council to reality. Its size is close to an adult male, but the concentration of Abyss energy within its body is over a hundred times that of an ordinary human, making it immune to conventional police weapons.”

”We sent three assault teams up, but they were blocked at the fourth-floor escalator entrance by the energy shockwaves it released and couldn’t get close at all.”

Lin Ye picked up the jacket draped over the back of his chair, put it on, and said to Ghost, ”Pull up the data of the Abyss Scout I fought in the Abyss Dungeon in the game and send it to Sister Chen and her team for reference. Switch the skill template to Energy Decay and set the target type to Abyss-type biological units.”

He then turned to look at Su Qinghan. ”Have Fatty Wang check the seal status of the Abyss Dungeon in the game. If an Abyss Scout has appeared in reality, the corresponding dungeon in the game might also have some activity.”

When the car drove to the entrance of Nancheng Wanda, the entire mall had already been cordoned off with police tape.

Over a dozen police cars were parked in the square, their red and blue lights flashing in a blur, while armed SWAT officers guarded the entrances and exits. A large crowd of onlookers gathered outside, holding up their phones to film.

Sister Chen led Lin Ye through a dedicated passage in the underground parking lot, taking the elevator directly to the fourth-floor staff area. Pushing open the fire door led directly to the side entrance of the cinema waiting area.

A blast of cold air carrying the smell of burnt metal rushed to meet them, the temperature at least ten degrees lower than the rest of the mall.

The members of the three assault teams were guarding behind the cover at the escalator entrance, their riot shields covered in a thick layer of frost.

The ceiling light strips in the fourth-floor waiting area were still flickering uncontrollably; with every flash, one could see a tall figure standing in the center of the empty hall.

It was nearly two meters tall, its entire body covered in a dark purple, translucent energy shell, with two fluorescent tentacles trailing behind it. With every step it took, the floor cracked with a circle of fine, icy patterns.
