Chapter 465: Chapter 167: “The Polluted Slit-Mouthed

Woman “_4

He quickly verified that it was not a group mental illusion.

They seemed to have fallen into a special spatial loop due to some specific reasons.

Leonard Churchill wasn’t too surprised.

But he was puzzled.

Because he couldn’t sense the presence of any living creatures other than them.

Catherine Carter on his side also looked cautious, meeting his gaze and signalling that she heard nothing either.

He looked at Elder Clinton, the shifty old man, who seemed to recognize something and whispered, “We’re in trouble, it’s the ‘Catastrophe Domain’…” Upon hearing this, Leonard instantly remembered some information recorded in the classics.

The monsters capable of forming “Catastrophe Domains”, were either top tier or very unique creatures.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Elder Clinton pushed Colin, who was beside him, down, burying his head under his crotch and mumbling, “Watch your front, young punk!”

Leonard watched their actions, which he was far too familiar with.

In practice, he knew this awkward position was a very effective way of defending against evil spirits.

With no sounds of movement, it was obvious that this unseen Catastrophe was a member of the “Ghostly Species”.

Leonard didn’t take any chances, bending over and burying his head in-between his own legs in the same manner.

Meanwhile, he glanced at Catherine, whose face exemplified bewilderment, and hinted: what about you?

Being smart, Catherine knew Elder Clinton was someone capable and guessed that their actions must have a special purpose.

Functions meant to counter that monster.

But…doing this in public was far too…embarrassing for her.

She was sure that any real lady would choose death over such a disgraceful act in front of a crowd.

Leonard gazed at her urging: “Aren’t you going to do it?”

Catherine’s eyes were filled with conflict and she was evidently torn. But her fingers touched the Destiny Coin inside her pocket.

Finally, she let out a long breath, her voice relieved, “No need. I won’t die.”

Upon hearing this, Leonard didn’t object and said nothing.

Their actions inevitably drew the attention of others.

“What are these three goofballs doing?”

“Just looking for attention. You actually believe the crap that old man is spewing?”

From the beginning, no one really had respected Elder Clinton, only making fun of him.

As for Leonard, he barely made a ripple, not attracting any attention.

No one believed that the three of them actually knew anything.

However, before they could contemplate further, a scream echoed from the front of the group, “Ah!”

“The captain, Old Xu, has been killed!”

“What monster killed him?”

“I didn’t get a clear look. From the back, it looked like… it looked like a woman with long hair!”

The crowd stepped forward to look. On the ground, lay a lifeless body.

The situation was identical to the previous one.

The corpse had been halved from the abdomen by a sharp weapon.

The incision was smooth, with blood and entrails oozing from it.

Witnessing their comrade being killed right in front of them, the atmosphere of fear within the team was pushed to its limit.

A woman with long hair?

Everyone knew that it was probably a humanoid Catastrophe.

But, how did it manage to silently kill someone amongst a crowd?

Even Leonard looked somber, his suspicions intensifying, “How did it manage?”

He hadn’t even heard the sound of the weapon slicing through flesh.

The monster had murdered without a sound.

Physical injuries without any noise, how was that possible?

Catherine was obviously just as perplexed.

Elder Clinton, on the other hand, looked as if he’d figured out something and his old face didn’t bother to hide its terror, “Oh dear, we’re finished, finished… This may be a Rule-based Catastrophe!”

Leonard listened and was slightly confused: “Rule-based Catastrophe?”

Catherine beside them, however, seemed to understand and her expression changed. She then explained, “It’s a Catastrophe possessed by special powers governed by rules. You can interpret it as an A-rank which is equivalent to an S-rank, possessing some special abilities. Here in the Catastrophe Domain, if you can’t break its rules, you die upon encountering it!”

As she said this, she glanced around the streets, murmuring to herself, “No wonder it could form this special domain trapping people.”

Listening to this gave Leonard the creeps, he asked, “How do we kill it?”

Catherine replied, “Either you break apart this Catastrophe Domain by force, or you have to eliminate a specific condition provided by its rules…Think of it like the specific gameplay of some game, we must adhere to the rules…”

Leonard frowned upon hearing this.

It seems impossible to expect the first option.

But the second one…

He didn’t even know what the monster actually was, how could he counter it?

This was going to be difficult.

Catherine further explained with a serious tone, “Rule-based Catastrophes are very rare… They usually only appear in legendary Catastrophes…”

If it was a legendary monster, then there was no use in resisting — they might as well just wait for death.

However, he thought there might still be a chance.

Just like how the common undead all spawned Dark Matter Crystals, it wouldn’t be out of the question for other monsters to spawn variants as well.

… And at that moment, the second victim appeared.

This time, not even a scream could be heard before the unfortunate soul’s head got severed.

Upon seeing the body, fear had utterly gripped the other members of the team.

“Quick, let’s find a way out!”

“Everybody, stay close and don’t wander off.”

Unfortunately, this did not delay the arrival of successive deaths.

Leonard and his team had no way out, and it was even less likely for others to break through the endless Catastrophe Domain.

Not until the fourth person fell did Leonard manage to catch a glimpse of a figure.

It was the figure of a woman in a white robe, with long hair streaming down her back.

Although she appeared corporeal, bullets and curse cards were ineffective, passing through her like a ghost and causing no harm.

Others could not even see this figure.

However, with the aid of the Clown Mask heightening his cognition, Leonard received information about the monster.
