Deep in the Living

Chapter 257: Heavy Rain, Flames, and Murder
The Lunar Eclipse Project was built by a joint research bureau of several world companies.

The Moon City can be completely blocked in a short period of time, and the intensity of the blockade can be close to the world's limit, which means that even a monster incarnation would find it difficult to break it.

The only remaining path is Earth-Moon orbit.

When a lunar eclipse occurs,
The headquarters will dispatch a "suppression team" to take a train directly to Moon City to carry out forced suppression.

The situation was the same this time, and a fully armed suppression team quickly gathered at the boarding gate of the Earth-Moon Orbit (Capital Station).

But the situation before them surprised them.

The track, which had never had any problems before, eventually caused a violent explosion due to a short circuit in multiple devices, and also caused a certain degree of tunnel collapse.

This is the Earth-Moon orbit, a key area that the World Bureau spent a lot of money to build and is maintained by a professional team every day.

The probability of this happening is no greater than one in ten million.

It happens that there is a lunar eclipse at the moment, and it only takes a simple thought to know that the tunnel explosion must have been man-made.

However, this is not the mission of the suppression team, their target is only the Moon City.

One of the team members simply placed his palm on the collapsed tunnel rock, and the huge rock began to move away on its own, revealing a deep and long train tunnel in front of them.

No vehicles were used.

The suppression team directly crossed the "Earth-Moon Orbit" by physically running, and the closed orbital gates along the way were reopened because of their arrival.

……

≮The lunar eclipse has begun. All residents of Moon City are requested to suspend all work and matters at hand, return home as quickly as possible, close the doors and windows, and wait for the end of the lunar eclipse. If it takes more than five minutes to return home, it is recommended to go to a nearby public area for shelter. ≯
All residents of Moon City received the news immediately.

All shops are closed.
Employees who were working in the company hid inside the company and closed all entrances and exits.

All taxi drivers working at night also stopped working and quickly returned to their homes or nearby shelters.

In just a few minutes, Moon City entered an evacuation state.

Logically, an ordinary person would not stay on the street, but tonight is a little special.

A blond middle-aged man in a neat suit and gold-rimmed glasses first appeared around the train station. He did not follow the broadcast's request to seek refuge in the nearest area, after all, there was a shelter at the train station.

He is more like a passenger who has just arrived in Moon City.

His tense face twitched slightly, showing anxiety.

He had never encountered such a situation since he was a child, such an unexpected situation that was beyond his control.

【Benjamin Stewart】

Born in London, England, he was extremely intelligent since childhood, far surpassing his peers. But no one noticed that there was always a small group in his class, and this small group completely obeyed him.

At the age of 18, he began studying for a doctorate in psychology at Cambridge University.
He is also the youngest vice president of the school student union.

He was forced to be expelled due to a serious incident on campus.

In the second week after being fired, Benjamin no longer missed his hometown and turned his attention to a special country far in the East, a country full of opportunities but also extremely dangerous.

It is the United States built on the corner.

He decisively signed up for the elite immigration program, achieved extremely high grades, and got the opportunity to study at the University of Los Angeles in the capital.

Just when Benjamin thought he could still easily rely on his brain to get ahead in school like before.

But he found that this university was completely different, it couldn't even be called a school...Everyone who studied there was a monster, and his level was barely average.

Even if he tried his best, he couldn't stand out. Even the slightest thought of forming a small group would be seen through, and he would even be ostracized in school.

that's it,
Benjamin remained silent for twenty years and still failed to make a name for himself in the capital.

Finally he got a chance when he was forty years old.

With his still smart brain and special features related to mental manipulation, he won the position of [Lunar Supervisor], which was not considered by many people at that time.

After arriving in the festering city of Moon City, Benjamin felt like he was coming home.

He quickly regained the confidence he had lost in the capital, and gradually discovered that Moon City was the most suitable place for him in the world.

Just five years.

He then developed the Lunar Monitoring Group, which would submit several times more high-quality pituitary glands to the capital every year.

Moreover, under his management, the safety assessment parameters of Moon City have increased, even exceeding the previous highest values, and there has been no lunar eclipse for several years.

The entire Moon City looks bright and beautiful on the surface, like a mine full of gold and silver relying on the capital.

Over the years, he has been enjoying the fruits of his labor and the feeling of dominating the entire city. Any voices of resistance from within the city would be eliminated at the first opportunity.

Smooth sailing.

It was not until a young man with the account name "Mr. Di" came to the city on the 4hs website he created.

……

"Not a single car?"

Benjamin's body was not much different from that of an ordinary person. He ran out of the train station and looked around, trying to find a passing car.

As long as he can see, his mind can act upon it and control the driver.

Because he had been delayed on the city wall, there were no cars on the street.

He knew very well that his body had been marked with a strange gray mark, which would be difficult to remove in a short period of time. Now the only place he could go was the safest area in the city - [Mercury Hotel]

It would be impossible for him to run across the train station relying on his physical fitness.

A critical moment.

Benjamin took out a needle filled with white lotion from the dressing room and injected it directly into the carotid artery. As some kind of essence related to the brain flowed into the artery, his mental coverage was expanded to three times.

Bright eyes!
"Looks like I'm lucky!" A car that hadn't had time to drive away was parked on the next street.

He also used his mental power to strengthen his body and quickly ran towards the vehicle. During this time, he kept scanning the surrounding situation, trying to find Rody who might chase him at any time.

As he got into the car and started it with his mental power, he did not notice anyone approaching during the whole process.

Come to think of it.

The inspection team he had put a lot of effort into had members who were close to or even equal to the level of city investigators.

Moreover, they had all carried out large-scale demon planting throughout their bodies, which greatly improved their physical fitness and mastered many different abilities. Even if they were all killed, it would inevitably cause considerable injuries to Rody, and he might even die afterwards.

The vehicle starts.

With the city deserted and the streets empty, it only takes less than fifteen minutes to get to the center.

As soon as he arrived at the Mercury Hotel, Benjamin would activate his membership and apply for the highest level of security protection until the suppression team responsible for dealing with the lunar eclipse arrived.

Tick ​​tick!
Raindrops as big as beans hit the car window.

【Lunar Eclipse Rainfall】

During a lunar eclipse, artificial rainfall is carried out by a ceiling device covering the Moon City. The rain is mixed with a pheromone that can help the suppression team locate the source of danger more quickly.

Benjamin maintained a high level of mental concentration. Even in the pouring rain, he could always scan the specific road conditions a hundred meters ahead.

The Mercury Hotel, the largest and most illuminated hotel in the city, appeared in his sight. He would arrive there in less than three minutes.

at this time.

His mental power sensed something on the street that should have been empty... There was someone in front!
Benjamin leaned forward and looked straight ahead with the help of the high beam, but due to the heavy rain, he could only vaguely see the outline of a person.

But it is enough to see the outline.

"Rodi!"

The Mercury Hotel is on this route. If we turn around now and deviate from the route, it will be easier to be caught up.

Rather than...

Benjamin stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and crashed into Roddy at top speed.

As long as the other party is still within the human category, it is impossible for him to withstand a car collision at 180km/h.

He also transformed his mental power into thin lines that spread forward, trying to cause intervention at the brain level to make the collision process simpler.

The weird thing is,
Any thread of mental power that approaches the target will first be burned by high temperature and then directly cut off by an invisible murderous intent. It seems that Rody has become different from before.

100m,

50m,

20m,

From this distance, one could already see Rody standing at the crossroads, his body shrouded in a heavy oversized leather jacket, his thick-soled leather shoes stepping on rain puddles.

the strange thing is.

The other person's face was still unclear, as if it was blocked by something, or covered with some invisible color.

Rody had raised his hands high, holding a knife in both hands.

The metal structure of the torture instrument made the knife heavy and huge, three times the size of the butcher knife, and it was reinforced with various iron wires.

This knife no longer seems to be used to kill people...

But Benjamin no longer cared about that and rushed forward at full speed!
Head-on collision,

The blade cuts down!
The sound of metal clashing echoed through the streets on a rainy night.

The car was cut into two parts and rolled wildly on the street.

The passenger side of the car hit a street lamp and exploded violently, with flames shooting into the sky.

The driver's half of the car, where Benjamin was, rolled over more than ten times and landed right in the middle of the road, upside down.

Thanks to the seatbelt and the stress protection provided by the brain in the emergency, he only suffered a few broken bones and a mild concussion.

Fortunately, the cut into the car body did not hurt him.

Use pituitary secretions to forcibly suppress the dizziness caused by concussion.

Benjamin looked from the squeezed and deformed car window to the front, looking at the Mercury Hotel with lights on, just across the street, less than three hundred meters away.

The desire to survive drove him to move, and he began to reach out and pull the stuck seat belt.

He wanted to get out of the completely damaged car and head towards the Mercury Hotel.

at this time,

There was a sound in my ears.
A sound that could drown out a rainstorm.

Tatata!
Heavy footsteps were approaching, and every step felt like stepping on the surface of his heart.

This oppressive feeling squeezing his soul forced him to turn his head and look behind him.

The burning fire,
The heavy rain poured down.
And the "murderer" who was walking step by step along the center of the road.

No running, no quickening of pace,
Just a normal walk.

There was no rush at all, just the most primitive hunting.

With the help of the burning fire, Benjamin finally saw the other person's face clearly. It was a mask... When he saw the mask, Benjamin showed an expression of fear on his face for the first time.
