Chapter 392: Reuniting with Diana

Even though the mother anomaly\'s body had been crushed, she didn\'t perish as a result. Instead, a pile of silken threads appeared between Adam\'s palms, and they adhered themselves to his hands before spreading toward the rest of his body.

What the hell is this stuff?

Adam attempted to shake off the silken threads, but to no avail. The threads were extremely sticky, and it was virtually impossible to shake them off with brute strength alone.

In fact, even as Adam was attempting to shake them off, the threads were already burrowing into him through the gaps in his stone body.

"Hellhound, hit me with some fire!" Adam instructed, and the three-headed Hellhound immediately sprang toward him, then opened its mouths to blast flames directly onto Adam\'s hands.

However, the silken threads seemed to be impervious to flames. In fact, the flames were only making them more wild and active, and it didn\'t take long before they spread over Adam\'s entire body.

Adam was frantically tearing at his own body, but he was unable to escape from the threads no matter what he did.

What was even more disturbing was that after the silken threads burrowed into his body, they began to attempt to control him as if they were parasites. Adam was doing everything in his power to resist the threads, but he was completely outmatched. The threads were stronger than him, and they were also capable of affecting his emotions, making him involuntarily conform to their control.

This is at least a level seven anomaly, and its abilities are very troublesome to deal with.

Given sufficient time, Adam was confident that he would be able to eradicate this anomaly, but in this situation, time was of the essence, and he didn\'t have any to waste.

The woman had dragged a large number of people into the psychic world using her neuron transmitter, and that was sure to have sparked a panic among the bystanders in the real world.

The effective range of the transmitter appeared to be roughly 100 meters, so from the perspective of the people outside of that range, they would\'ve seen a massive crowd of people suddenly lose consciousness at once without any warning.

Hence, it was most likely the case that a panic had already ensued outside, and that would undoubtedly tip the killers off to the fact that their operation was being met with opposition.

Once that happened, the entire situation would spiral out of control.

It seems like I won\'t be able to escape her control anytime soon.

Under the control of the silken threads, Adam was already taking swings at his own allies.

He swung a massive fist at Hellhound, and the latter hurriedly evaded the attack with an alarmed yelp.

All of a sudden, the surrounding space quivered momentarily, following which several more people entered the psychic world.

Adam immediately swung around with a grim expression, thinking that more killers had arrived on the scene, but he was relieved to find that the new arrivals were allies instead.

"Get these things off me, and make sure not to harm any of the civilians\' psychic bodies!"

Even without requiring any instructions from Adam, everyone had already sprung into action. Diana was the main offensive unit, and at this point, she had already transformed into a giant black dragon. She flung Adam\'s huge body up into the air with her claws, then blasted a jet of black dragon flames straight onto his body.

In the face of the destructive black flames, Adam\'s body was set alight before dripping down as drops of magma.

Diana\'s dragon flames were of a far higher temperature than Hellhound\'s fireballs.

Following this period of training under Sadou, Diana had clearly become more powerful than before, and her black dragon form was beginning to resemble the mythical Níeh?ggr.

The flames were hot enough to melt Adam\'s body, so the anomaly concealed within was naturally severely harmed as well.

Even though it had been completely impervious to Hellhound\'s flames, it was unable to withstand the scorching heat of Diana\'s flames, and after changing forms in mid-air for a while, it was forced to leave Adam\'s body and revert back to its original form.

As soon as the anomaly appeared, a thunderous draconic roar rang out in the sky, followed by the emergence of a hexagram array. Diana had unleashed her draconic technomancy to immobilize the anomaly in mid-air.

Flame and the others immediately pounced on this opportunity to unleash a barrage of attacks upon the anomaly, and even though this was quite a high-level anomaly, it was unable to withstand the attacks of so many powerful adapters.

In particular, these adapters all possessed tremendous offensive prowess, and thus, the battle drew to a conclusion in less than a minute.

The anomaly\'s body was completely destroyed, and the woman\'s psychic body met its demise.

At this point, Adam had already reformed his body on the ground below, and he was looking up at the sky with a slightly disappointed expression.

There\'s no anomalic power? Is that because it\'s been modified by the director? That\'s a real pity. That anomaly would\'ve been exceptional for exerting control over the battlefield.

Adam had previously participated in Shadow City\'s battle royale, and there had been a huge number of anomalies in there, but all of them had been artificially created by the director, so they hadn\'t yielded any anomalic power upon death.

However, amount of pain that could be artificially inflicted upon someone was quite limited, and Adam knew that it was very difficult to create super high-level anomalies through torture alone.

Compared with a torture chamber, the world was the true hell.

Only in society could one experience all types of hardships, thereby slowly warping their personalities over time.

Judging from the outward appearance of this anomaly, it was clearly one that arisen from a twisted sense of motherly love, so this anomaly most likely wasn\'t one that had been artificially manufactured.

Instead, what had most likely happened was that the director had found the host of the anomaly, then thrust that twisted persona into a blank slate.

However, due to the fact that the anomaly had been tampered with by the director, it could no longer yield anomalic power for Adam.

Is this something that the director has done deliberately, or is it just because we share the same genes?

Adam didn\'t know the answer to that question, nor did he have the time to mull it over in the current situation.

Following the anomaly\'s demise, he and his companions quickly left the psychic world and returned to the real world.

After crushing the neuron transmission device underfoot, all of the unconscious bystanders in the area slowly began to return to their senses.

"Have any of you seen her accomplices?" Adam asked as he pointed at the dead woman.

"No."

"We didn\'t run into any of them on the way here."

"Crap!"

A thought immediately occurred to Adam upon hearing this, but before he had a chance to do anything, Shae\'s urgent voice rang out from his communicator.

"Come here right now! I\'ve sent you the location, the killers have already arrived!"

"Let\'s go!"

Adam hurriedly set off toward the location that Shae had sent to his communicator.

By the time Adam and his group emerged from the crowd, he noticed that everyone had already begun to panic, and some people had called the Mechguard hotline, so it wasn\'t going to take long before Mechguard units were deployed to the scene.

Those killers were naturally going to be aware of this as well, so their plan was clearly to take an aggressive approach to complete their mission and flee the scene before the Mechguard units arrived.

"We don\'t have much time," Adam said as he took a hoverbike by force, then rode it directly toward the Shae\'s location.

After arriving at his destination, Adam arrived underground through the fire escape.

The database was situated underground, and by the time Adam arrived, the security guards in the area had already been incapacitated, while the mechanical defenses and alarm system had also been disabled. Adam continued to venture deeper into the area, yet before he had even reached the entrance, a sense of danger suddenly arose in his heart, and he hurriedly took evasive measures.

In the instant that he dove to the side, an explosion rang out up ahead, followed by the sound of bullets whistling through the air.

Adam was rather perplexed at the fact that his assailants were using such ordinary firearms, and through the smoke resulting from the explosion, he spotted seven or eight masked men who were armed with guns.

It was clear from their attire that they were just ordinary killers who weren\'t adapters.
