Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 863 Temporary Evacuation
Su Weiyu came to Alice's portrait, took it down, and thought that since that man had become this monster after his death and was guarding the archives like a dog, he might be able to recognize the collection in the room.

After searching high and low, there seemed to be quite a few valuable items, but the only one that was truly convenient to take out and use as a shield was this painting. So Su Weiyu took down the painting and carefully walked outside.

Upon arriving in the courtyard, the creature that had been sniffing the ground with its elongated nostrils suddenly stopped, as if sensing someone approaching. It abruptly raised its grotesque face, its eyes and ears bulging out, and stared intently at Su Weiyu with its two uneven, dead eyeballs. Then it let out a sharp shriek.

It used its four limbs uncoordinatedly, like a distempered rabid dog, wobbling and charging towards Su Weiyu. Its body swayed from side to side as if it were about to fall at any moment, but its speed was not slow at all, like a car that had lost control on a highway, seemingly crashing straight towards Su Weiyu at high speed due to inertia.

The way it ran sent chills down Su Weiyu's spine; the corpse-like appearance of it, not being alive, triggered her instinctive fear.

All animals are afraid of corpses, and even more afraid of corpses that are obviously dead but suddenly start moving.

Humans are animals, and for millions of years, humans and the supernatural have coexisted. The danger lurking behind something that can still move even when it is clearly dead has been deeply imprinted in the blood of the entire race through countless deaths and fears.

Su Weiyu held Alice's portrait in front of her, and when the Spear of the Rift King rammed straight into her, she knew she was wrong. This monster had completely lost its rational judgment. Although it was still guarding the archives, it no longer had the instinct to protect the collections inside.

Surprisingly, the portrait also seemed to possess extraordinary power, as she felt the immense impact emanating from the other side.

Through the thin canvas, she could hear the sharp, grinding sound of the other person's teeth against the canvas. This seemingly fragile canvas acted like an indestructible shield, withstanding the other person's attack!
Su Weiyu took a step to the side and used the Instant Step.

She was reluctant to put down her canvas, so she worked a little slower than usual, but even so, it was enough.

Su Weiyu dodged far away, her five fingers gripping the hilt of the knife tightly. The strength of her grip made the hilt of the goose feather knife feel hot, and the blade also became bright.

Cut it out with one knife!

It fell vertically like slicing vegetables, slicing through the loose, cloak-like human skin draped over the bent back. The blade tore through the skin like rags, even chopping open the bones.

A glint flashed in Su Weiyu's eyes; she herself hadn't expected the stab to be so easy.

The monster, its spine severed, plummeted to the ground like a collapsed bridge. Its two hind legs continued to push against the ground, but without the spine to transfer power to the front half of its body, the two halves of its body seemed to have separated, each busy with its own tasks, and its movements slowed down for a moment.

The monster let out a strange cry and turned to bite Su Weiyu's leg.

Prepared, Su Weiyu dodged with a quick leap, easily avoiding the attack. As she moved to the side, she noticed a hairy arm emerging from the other person's stomach, about to catch the severed spine.

"Don't even think about it!" Su Weiyu leaped forward, but just as she did, the monster suddenly turned around and "looked" at her.

With just one glance, Su Weiyu sensed an inexplicable danger. Almost instinctively, she tensed all her muscles and entered the state she had been in when she was training as an "iron block" in the training ground.

The next second, an extremely sharp force struck her shoulder. The force of the strike was like that of an axe, but the sharpness was like that of a razor. A sharp pain came, and fine beads of blood seeped out from her shoulder, but the flesh was not torn open.

She held on!

While withstanding the invisible slash, Su Weiyu had already run to the side of the Spear of the Rending King, and the Goose Feather Blade was aimed directly at the hairy arm and slashed down.

The metal struck the ground, sparks flying. The hand retracted back into its belly, and Su Weiyu's blade immediately slashed upwards, severing the head in a single stroke.

With that final strike, the Spear of the Rending King collapsed completely, falling to the ground with a thud. After its head was severed, it seemed to have truly lost its soul, no longer possessing the strength to remain within its body, and floated away lightly.

Killed it?
Su Weiyu was somewhat incredulous.

She felt that this battle seemed a little too easy.

Not long after the Spear of the Rift was killed, Hu Ling and Hippolyta rushed out of the collection. Their injuries looked more severe than before, which meant that they had likely transferred the injuries from the box back to their bodies to make room for the notes.

The two men, one on the left and one on the right, didn't forget the man with the mustache as they ran out. One of them casually plucked the man's head from the tree, while the other picked up one of the corpse's feet and dragged it away.

As Su Weiyu watched them run away, she looked down at the Spear of the Rift on the ground. The body that had been still began to move slowly again.

Is this monster unkillable...?

However, Su Weiyu's original goal was not to kill the monster, but simply to leave this place.

"Let's get out of here before this thing recovers," Su Weiyu thought.

……

……

Xia Shou and Su Weiyu reunited at the place where they had parted ways.

Xia Shou had anticipated the outcome of Hu Ling and Hippolyta's injuries. After all, Su Weiyu had transferred such severe injuries to him. If she had been with Hu Ling and the others at the time, this result would have been inevitable.

After all, Su Weiyu has a constitution that allows her to be ignored by humans, and her combat strength is already quite strong. If even she suffered such serious injuries, the other two must be in no better shape.

Xia Shou had originally planned to let them sneak in from the other side to steal things, but seeing the current situation, there was no hope.

Moreover, they had no way of knowing how long the first mate could distract the palace guards. Given their current state, they were incapable of taking down the warehouse guard.

Moreover, the current situation is different from the plan. The gatekeeper that Xia Shou encountered directly pointed out his identity as a "person from the future," which proves that the rulers of this country may already know the truth about the cyclical history.

This discrepancy in intelligence caused them to completely lose their original initiative; continuing to stubbornly forge ahead would only lead to setbacks.

After meeting with Hu Ling, neither side had much conversation and both chose to temporarily withdraw.

"We definitely can't steal the stone, but we did steal some other interesting things," Hu Ling said through gritted teeth, enduring the excruciating pain in her body as she looked at Xia Shou.

Xia Shou nodded: "Let's go outside first, and we can talk about it there."
