The commanding tone echoed in their ears, causing their hearts to skip a beat. They were too close to Yelai, less than half a meter apart. Not only did they hear it, but they also clearly saw that when Yelai issued the command, his gaze was fixed on the Small Orange Cat hovering in the air.
There was something wrong with that cat!
The expressions of Zhong Zhi and his companions changed drastically as they realized the problem. But it was too late. The Small Orange Cat received Yelai's instruction, and in an instant, its once adorable gem-like eyes turned lifeless and hollow.
Zhong Zhi and his group locked eyes with it, their scalps tingling. Those eyes—they would never forget them, even if the creature's size or appearance changed completely. The emptiness in those eyes was identical to that of the Entity's Gaze that had nearly led to their annihilation.
In that moment, an unbelievable thought surged through the minds of Zhong Zhi and his five companions. Could this little cat be an Entity's Gaze?!
At that moment, Yelai approached them. With a swift motion, his hand enlarged in Zhong Zhi's vision as he reached out, fingers splayed toward Zhong Zhi's face.
Rank Six faced off against Rank Four. There was no comparison.
With a thud, Yelai seized Zhong Zhi's head and slammed it forcefully against the concrete floor.
Zhong Zhi leaned back, feeling a violent impact at the back of his head, a sharp pain overwhelming him as the world spun around.
"Zhong!"
The captain shouted, his voice filled with urgency. The Vice Captain of the First Squad and the others glared in anger, ready to unleash their Sequence abilities. But just as they moved to act—
"Ah!!"
A horrified scream pierced the air.
The Vice Captain turned to see a teammate's face contorted in agony. His chest had been pierced through. A hand, clawed with sharp black nails, emerged from his back.
"You—"
The Vice Captain was taken aback, unable to comprehend that it was not Yelai or Zhang Yinlin who had pierced their teammate's chest, but their own comrade, Zhang Tian.
At that moment, Zhang Tian resembled a rampaging beast. He casually tossed aside the opponent whose chest he had pierced as if discarding trash, then turned to attack another teammate.
Seeing this, the Vice Captain and the others were enraged, believing Zhang Tian to be a traitor.
No, he wasn't Zhang Tian.
Their fury lasted barely half a second before a loud thud echoed through the air. The small orange cat fell to the ground with a heavy thump, clearly dead beyond any doubt. Looking back at Zhang Tian’s hollow eyes revealed an unsettling truth—his gaze mirrored that of the small orange cat just moments before.
It was confirmed:
The small orange cat had indeed been possessed by an incorporeal entity's gaze, which had now transferred to their teammate Zhang Tian. The truth was finally unveiled.
They were filled with a mix of horror and confusion.
Was the Gaze before them the same one from Hu Family Village? If so, how could the Gaze be possessing a Small Orange Cat? Logically, the Gaze had previously possessed Captain Zhao; there was no reason for it to inhabit a mere few-month-old Small Orange Cat.
Could it be that Zhang Yinlin and the others survived not by escaping the Gaze's pursuit, but by luring it into possessing a Small Orange Cat? That didn't seem right either. Even if it was inhabiting a Small Orange Cat, Zhang Yinlin and the others shouldn't have been able to win, especially since they had brought the Gaze along to find them.
Moreover, if they hadn't misheard earlier, Yelai's command to kill them sounded like an order directed at the Gaze. Was that even possible?
