"No, who can explain? Why is this infant so big? And it's made of blood? If this continues, they'll be crushed before they're killed, and drowned before they're crushed. They'll be drowned before they're crushed."
"Damn it, big shot, save us! Stop playing around, something bad is going to happen soon."
"But how do we solve it?"
...
In the Dean's meeting room.
Everyone watched as the walls, the blood, and the child, seemingly unfazed by pain, continued to pat the ground with its remaining hand.
Tension began to build.
"This won't do. Zhou Lin, do you have any ideas? And what's going on with this child? Is it a broken arm, or has a major artery been severed? When will this end?"
Professor Hu, upon seeing the situation, couldn't sit still. This was not right.
"I truly feel like I've seen a ghost. What should we do?"
Professor Wen, though confident in Zhou Lin, still found the situation quite perilous.
The main concern was worry.
"Trust Zhou Lin. As long as Zhou Lin says it, there won't be any problems. We can only trust Zhou Lin."
The Dean looked at the large screen, his expression unreadable.
"I have great faith in Zhou Lin, but I am genuinely nervous about this situation. It would be a lie to say I wasn't."
Professor Wen said anxiously after hearing this.
"I also hope it ends quickly. This infant is truly terrifying, and Zhou Lin hasn't had a chance to explain what this thing is."
Professor Hu was deeply shocked by the infant's existence.
...
Inside the tomb.
Zhou Lin narrowed his eyes as he looked at the child, then glanced at the electronic interface.
He proactively requested a system recommendation, but the system suggested something to break illusions.
Could this be an illusion?
"Demon Breaking Bead?"
Zhou Lin looked at the item, which had a red rune on it. It exuded a powerful aura just by looking at it.
It looked so sophisticated.
"What is this?"
[This is an item that can break all sorts of illusions. The host can see through any formations, etc.]
The system's voice slowly transmitted.
"That's the one."
Zhou Lin then looked at the points required. The cost was acceptable.
[Ding, exchange successful, Demon Breaking Bead.]
Zhou Lin saw a Demon Breaking Bead appear in his electronic backpack.
At this moment—
"Professor Zhou Lin, save us! Save us!"
One of the mercenaries cried out anxiously, his voice trembling, after witnessing the situation.
Zhou Lin snapped back to reality and saw the child across from them bringing its large hand down upon the mercenaries.
"No..."
Captain Lin's pupils contracted sharply. Beneath that palm were his men.
A group of mercenaries.
Their brothers.
They were just one step away from a tragic end.
Seeing this, Zhou Lin threw the Demon Breaking Bead he held.
Boom...
A deafening roar echoed, and the surrounding environment began to shift.
The bloody scene from before reverted to the previous corridor, surrounded by icy frost.
Captain Lin was now drenched in cold sweat. Seeing his brothers still by his side, his suspended heart finally settled.
He then let out a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, fortunately, Professor Zhou Lin had saved them...
Elder Tang, Professor Lin, and the metaphysics professors regained their senses and quickly checked themselves. The scarlet stains on their clothes had vanished.
It was as if the previous situation had been a dream.
What had clearly happened moments ago was now gone, which was truly miraculous.
"What's going on? How did this happen? Before..."
Captain Lin quickly looked at his palms, staring at Zhou Lin beside him in shock.
"That was an illusion created by those infants, intended to kill us within the illusion."
Zhou Lin explained calmly after seeing the situation, then looked at the children on the side, their eyes filled with hatred.
Seeing Zhou Lin's abilities, the children became furious.
Just as they were about to use their illusionary techniques again, they found that for some reason, they couldn't.
Zhou Lin smirked as he observed this.
"Now it's my turn."
Zhou Lin held a whip and began to lash out at their location.
It felt like a villain bullying children, but to them, Zhou Lin's actions were akin to those of a god.
This behavior was truly exhilarating.
Crack...
Zhou Lin's whip swung fiercely, striking the children.
"I don't care if you were formed by heaven and earth or by later means, but I cannot let you live now."
After speaking, Zhou Lin unleashed a barrage of whip strikes, venting his frustration. He then took out the Azure Dragon Sword from his person.
The children transformed into a different appearance. Before, they were terrifying, but now their skin was fair and tender, and their eyes, full of pitiable innocence, looked at Zhou Lin.
They looked like timid little white rabbits.
As if Zhou Lin were the hateful one.
Several children's eyes flickered with scarlet as they looked at Captain Lin, Elder Tang, and the others opposite them.
Then, Elder Tang's eyes also flashed with a hint of scarlet.
He then, as if in a daze, walked behind Zhou Lin with Captain Lin and reached out to stop him.
"Professor Zhou Lin, don't do it. These children are very pitiful."
Elder Tang quickly reached out to stop him.
Zhou Lin raised an eyebrow at this.
"Elder Tang, are you trying to stop me?"
After Zhou Lin spoke, he saw Professor Lin and the metaphysics professors hurriedly pulling Elder Tang away.
"Elder Tang, are you crazy? These children are problematic, and you're helping them?"
Professor Lin asked, bewildered.
"But these children look so pitiful. Since we're safe, let's just let them go?"
Elder Tang's attitude was resolute, as if he were defending the children.
"Elder Tang..."
Professor Lin had never imagined that Elder Tang would say such a thing.
"I also think Elder Tang is right."
Captain Lin quickly chimed in after hearing this.
The mercenaries behind him couldn't believe their captain would say such a thing.
What was going on?
Since when had they become so compassionate? Compassionate towards these evil beings?
In the live stream.
"Holy crap, what is Elder Tang saying? Has he forgotten that they almost died just now?"
"No, I'm really getting angry watching this. How can he say such things?"
"What's happening? Why is he speaking up for these guys?"
"Are they also possessed?"
"Don't talk nonsense, maybe they're just mesmerized by the children's appearance."
