Chapter 189 - Scale Skin Phantom
On the outside of the gymnasium, a man stood between the sky-piercing horns of a massive blue beast. His eyes were solemn as he gazed cautiosly at the large gymnasium.
“I have gone through it. This type of demon is called the Scale Skin Phantom. Generally speaking, the Scale Skin Phantom does not possess the ability to infect through blood. I believe the Scale Skin Phantom that we’re dealing with right now is a variant; it has evolved into a creature that we have not encountered before.” A handsome man in a leather jacket stood underneath the colossal sky-colored Beast, speaking to the man above respectfully.
“People do research on all kinds of magical medicine, some even go as far as using Magical Beasts for experiments. Developing a bizarre creature is not that strange. However, what I can’t endure is that these kind of creatures appeared inside Pearl University! This is the Pearl Institute, most of the people here are either new students or Primary Magicians! They are completely unable to defend themselves from these parastic Magical Beasts!” the man on the large beast swore angrily.
As Hunters, they were very clear that it was possible for Magical Beasts to be roaming around in a large city like Shanghai. However, for them to appear at a holy ground like a Magic University astonished the entire magical world!
Why didn’t the hidden wards within the school stop the Magical Beasts from infiltrating it? Why did they only discover this matter when the situation reached this level? Why was the City Hunter Squad even allowed to eat food? In the end, they only found out about it because the Clearsky Agency’s people had received a commission for it!
If this matter had been delayed for two more weeks, the entire campus would’ve been turned into a Demon Lair!
“Yes. We have been careless.” A group of Magicians in orange uniforms stood there with their faces displaying a waxen complexion.
They were part of the City Hunter Squad, and the ones in charge of the area of Pearl Institute. If someone was to raise an alarm regarding a Magical Beast hereabouts, they were the ones immediately dispatched to eliminate the threat!
“At this moment, we are unable to count how many Scale Skin Phantoms are in there. Furthermore, from the information that I’ve received, this kind of Magical Beast will commit collective suicide if it thinks it will die. This kind of collective suicide method is actually a way for them to transfer their energy to the Mother Scale Skin Phantom. Additionally, after they’ve committed collective suicide, the person being taken advantage of will have their entire life force drained, and die!” the man with the leather jacket informed everyone.
“So basically, we cannot inadvertently alert the enemy?” the commander on the large beast asked for clarity.
“Yes. At the very least, we cannot let the Mother Scale Skin Phantom know that we’re undertaking a large scale operation. Otherwise, the people whom the parasites are attached to will immediately be abandoned by it.”
Upon hearing this, the Captain of the City Hunter Squad, Liang Yujie, couldn’t help but crease his brow.
On the other side, the face of the representative for Dean Xiao, Academician Li, changed greatly.
There were between six and seven thousand students inside the gymnasium. Among them, there were roughly a thousand people currently using the gym, and the rest of the people were inside the biggest sporting venue, watching the celebrity perform. Who knew how many people had been victimized so far?
If they were to charge in right now, all the people under the effect would commit suicide. This would immediately turn into a campus massacre. This was a responsibility which the Academician Li could not take upon himself, and the two elemental directors present could not do so, either!
“Then we can only stand here and watch?”
“We have to kill the Mother Scale Skin Phantom. Once the mother dies, the rest of the Scale Skin Phantoms will also die on their own!” the man with the leather skin jacket said.
“How strong is the Mother Scale Skin Phantom?”
While these people were in the middle of discussing things, a little girl holding a laptop came walking over.
“Little girl, hurry up and go home! This is not a place where you should be!” the elemental director, Zhou Zhenghua, hastily warned her.
Lingling didn’t even bat an eye at him, directly walking up to the man with the leather jacket.
“Lingling, come here!” the leather jacket man said with a loving smile, it was like he was looking at his own little sister.
