Lin Yue immediately drew his weapon, but the light of the flashlight became dimmer and dimmer.
"We have to leave here immediately!" Lin Yue grabbed Wang Yuxin's arm.
But it's too late.
In the darkness behind them, a figure in an old wedding dress slowly emerged.
The wedding dress was covered with dark red stains, and a distorted face was vaguely visible behind the veil.
"Welcome to join us..." the ethereal voice echoed throughout the room, "my new sisters..."
In the dim archive room, Xiao Qi's legs were shaking uncontrollably. She was wearing worn jeans and muddy sneakers. Her dry short hair was messily stuck to her face, making her look even paler.
She clutched the filing cabinet next to her, her knuckles turning white from the strain.
"These wandering souls...were they originally the same as us?" Xiao Qi's voice was obviously trembling.
Honglian stood by the window, the moonlight shining on her through the broken glass.
She wore a crimson leather jacket and black tights that outlined her slender figure.
Her long black hair was tied into a neat ponytail at the back of her head, highlighting her handsome features.
The metal bracelet on her right wrist flickered with a faint blue light, which was a symbol of her supernatural power.
"So Mary chose us because of our special abilities?" Honglian frowned.
Wang Yuxin had already changed into combat clothes at this time. Under the black bulletproof vest was a close-fitting combat uniform, and various equipment was hung around her waist.
Her expression was solemn, and she held the yellowed file in her hand, her fingertips trembling slightly.
"Not only that..." Wang Yuxin swallowed hard, "Have you noticed? All the wandering souls on the island are wearing wedding dresses from different periods..."
Lin Yue flipped through the files quickly, and her tactical gloves made a rustling sound on the papers.
Her camouflage uniform was soaked with sweat, and her hair was stuck to her face.
Suddenly, the temperature in the whole room dropped sharply.
The moonlight outside the window was obscured by a strange shadow, and fine frost began to form on the glass.
Everyone's breath condensed into white mist in the air.
"Ding..." A crisp sound of metal collision came from the darkness.
"Someone is playing the piano?" Xiao Qi widened his eyes.
It was the melody of a wedding march, but the tone was distorted and the rhythm was weird, as if it had been forcibly pulled and deformed by something.
"No..." Wang Yuxin suddenly realized something, "That's... the sound of the device running!"
"My dear brides..." the ethereal and resentful voice echoed in the darkness, "You finally discovered my little secret..."
The four of them immediately stood in a circle with their backs to each other, looking around vigilantly.
The doors and windows of the archive room were all closed at some point, as if sealed by an invisible force.
The walls of the archive room suddenly shook, and a rotten smell poured in from the ventilation duct. Then, the ceiling was pierced by a huge force, and concrete fragments flew everywhere.
A huge figure fell from the sky.
It was a humanoid monster over two meters tall, with muscles all over its body. Its original white coat had been torn, with only a few strips of cloth hanging on its body.
There is a rusty name tag on its chest, and the words "Chief Researcher" can be vaguely seen.
"Oh my God..." Xiao Qi hid behind the filing cabinet and looked at the monster through the gap.
Its face was severely deformed, with the right half completely rotten, revealing white bones, while the left half strangely retained human features - a bloodshot eyeball was spinning wildly, and a strange smile hung at the corner of its mouth.
"This is not an ordinary zombie!" Lin Yue raised his gun and shot, but the bullet only left a shallow dent on the monster.
The monster was incredibly fast. It rushed in front of Lin Yue in one step and swept out with its huge arm.
Lin Yue barely dodged it, but the impact of the airflow still made her stumble back.
"It...it's evolving!" Wang Yuxin was horrified to find that the wounds on the monster were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. "Ordinary zombies can't do this at all!"
Chapter 749: Can I Really Leave Alive?
Honglian released her supernatural power and flames condensed in her hands.
But the monster seemed immune to high temperatures. It rushed straight through the wall of fire and punched the wall, causing the entire wall to crack instantly.
"File!" Xiao Qi suddenly shouted, "The name tag on his chest...could it be..."
"Dr. William Cohen..." Wang Yuxin struggled to identify the blurred name, "That's the crazy scientist!"
When the monster heard the name, it suddenly stopped moving and made a strange sound between laughter and a roar.
Its eyes turned towards where Xiao Qi was hiding, and it made an indistinct sound:
"Mary...my...bride..."
"He still holds on to his obsession!" Wang Yuxin shouted, "Run! He's looking for someone to replace Mary!"
But it's too late.
The monster's body suddenly twisted and deformed, and its arms extended into tentacles and grabbed towards Xiao Qi.
At the same time, Mary's cold laughter echoed throughout the room:
"Dear William... you finally come to accompany me..."
The air was filled with strange energy fluctuations, as if two powerful forces were intertwining and colliding.
Dr. William's zombie became more violent at Mary's laughter. His body began to overflow with black energy, distorting the surrounding space.
"This is trouble..." Honglian gritted her teeth and said, "They are both SSS-level!"
Honglian took the lead, her hands ignited with crimson flames, the flames formed a barrier in the air, temporarily blocking Dr. William's attack.
"My flames can interfere with their energy field!" Honglian's forehead was covered with sweat as she maintained the wall of fire. "Think of a solution quickly!"
Wang Yuxin's special ability is space transfer. She quickly opened portals in various places in the room so that her teammates can move quickly and avoid them.
"Xiao Qi! Use your spiritual power to detect their weaknesses!"
Although Xiaoqi looks weak, her psychic abilities are the most special in the team.
She closed her eyes, the veins on her forehead bulged: "Dr. William... his consciousness still retains the obsessions of his human years. This is his weakness, but also the source of his strength..."
Lin Yue has the ability to control elements. She mobilized the moisture in the air and condensed it into ice spikes: "Mary's energy field is fluctuating! She can't control so many wandering souls at the same time!"
At this moment, Dr. William's zombies suddenly went berserk, and black energy surged out like a tide, instantly breaking through Honglian's wall of fire.
His body mutated further, his back split open and multiple tentacle-like limbs sprouted out.
"Be careful!" Wang Yuxin immediately opened the portal and transferred her companions to a safe place.
But William was faster, and one of his tentacle grabbed Xiaoqi's ankle.
"Ah!" Xiao Qi screamed, but then calmed down.
Her eyes suddenly glowed with a faint blue light. "Since you still retain human consciousness... then let me see the fear in your heart!"
Xiao Qi's spiritual power directly invaded William's consciousness.
The Doctor's movements suddenly froze, and a look of pain flashed in his only human eye.
At the same time, Mary's wandering spirit manifested its complete form.
Her wedding dress floated in the air, surrounded by countless twisted souls.
Xiao Qi curled up on the velvet sofa in the castle hall. She was wearing a torn white dress, and her slender legs were covered with scratches and bruises. Her originally bright eyes were now bloodshot, and tears kept falling from her delicate face, wetting the hem of her skirt.
"I'm really scared..." Her voice trembled, "Every time I close my eyes, I can see those distorted faces..."
Wang Yuxin sat beside her and wanted to say something comforting, but she found that her tears could not stop flowing. She reached out to hug Xiaoqi, but found that her hands were also shaking.
"Sister Yuxin..." Xiao Qi buried his face in Wang Yuxin's shoulder, "Can we really leave alive?"
Lin Yue came over and hugged them both. She pretended to be calm but her voice was obviously choked with sobs: "There must be a way. We have overcome so many difficulties..."
The other girls in the hall also gathered around. The moonlight poured in through the stained glass windows, shining on their tired faces. Some of them had torn combat uniforms, some had messy hair, and some had unhealed wounds.
Honglian suddenly stood up, wiped her tears, and a glimmer of hope ignited in her eyes: "Instead of waiting to die here, why not give it a try! Isn't there a boat at the dock?"
A few hours later, they stood at the dock. The early morning sun was dim, and a strange white mist was floating on the sea. Several small wooden boats were rocking gently with the waves.
"This is the sixth time..." Mo Xue hammered the side of the boat in frustration, her knuckles turning white from the force, "This damn fog!"
Just when everyone was in despair, Linlin suddenly pointed to the distance and exclaimed: "Wait! Look!"
A ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and shone onto the sea. Strangely, the white fog retreated quickly from the area illuminated by the sunlight, as if it were alive.
"The fog...is hiding from the sunlight!" Linlin said excitedly.
Wang Yuxin's eyes lit up: "That is to say, if there is a strong enough light source..."
"We can dispel the fog!" Honglian took over the conversation, her palms already ignited with flames, "My flames plus the sunlight may be able to create a passage!"

The moonlight poured in through the stained-glass windows, illuminating their tired faces.
Some people's combat uniforms were torn, some had messy hair, and some had unhealed wounds on their bodies.

Chapter 750: A Narrow Escape
Just when everyone was in despair, Linlin suddenly pointed to the distance and exclaimed: "Wait! Look!"
A ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and shone onto the sea. Strangely, the white fog retreated quickly from the area illuminated by the sunlight, as if it were alive.
"The fog...is hiding from the sunlight!" Linlin said excitedly.
Wang Yuxin's eyes lit up: "That is to say, if there is a strong enough light source..."
"We can dispel the fog!" Honglian took over the conversation, her palms already ignited with flames, "My flames plus the sunlight may be able to create a passage!"
Xiao Qi stood up from the sofa and wiped away her tears: "I can use my spiritual power to detect safe routes."
Hope rekindled in the girls' eyes. Perhaps this was the opportunity they had been waiting for.
But at this moment, the sea suddenly surged, and a huge black shadow loomed in the fog...
Lin Yue was covered in wounds, her combat uniform soaked in blood. There was a deep wound on her right arm, and her left leg was shaking. But she still gritted her teeth and held on to the seal. Sweat and blood mixed together and slid down her pale cheeks.
"I... can still hold on!" Her voice was hoarse and firm.
Wang Yuxin's voice was hoarse, and her voice was filled with despair and determination. Her portal kept opening and closing in the air, and every energy fluctuation made her nose bleed. But she didn't bother to wipe it off, and just continued to guide the energy flow.
“Honglian! Now!” she yelled at the top of her lungs, “Give it your all!”
The flames of Honglian had burned to the limit, and the scorching temperature caused the air to begin to distort. Her skin was burned due to excessive use of her supernatural powers, but her eyes remained firm. Under her control, the fire dragon roared and rushed towards the target.
Xiao Qi's spiritual power detected the critical moment. Blood and tears oozed from the corners of her eyes, but a relieved smile appeared at the corners of her mouth: "So that's it... This is the key to unlocking the curse..."
The energy storm became stronger and stronger, and the entire space began to distort. Mary's screams and William's roars intertwined, forming a terrible resonance.
“Lin Yue!” Wang Yuxin saw cracks appearing on the ice shield, “Hold on!”
Lin Yue's hands were shaking, but the ice shield was still firmly in front of everyone: "I won't let anyone die here!"
The moment the white light burst out, time seemed to stand still. Mary and William's figures twisted and intertwined in the light, and finally turned into countless fragments and dissipated in the air.
