Delta: Who are you saying has suffered a loss of strength?

Chapter 244 Phantom Pain

Everything was like opening your eyes amidst rippling water, the scene before you gradually distorting and blurring, slowly losing its sense of reality.

Then, the sensation under their feet changed, and Han Che and the others appeared almost simultaneously in the plaza outside the Tide Prison teleportation portal.

The five people, including Han Che, all had their mouths slightly open, remaining in a daze as they witnessed the horrifying scene before their evacuation.

After the adrenaline subsided, their hands and feet felt numb, and their muscles trembled slightly.

For a moment, the group stood there dumbfounded, clearly still unable to recover.

"Ughhhhhhh...!!"

Suddenly, a piercing scream pierced their ears and went straight into their minds, and two people were "spit out" by the portal.

Han Che looked in the direction of the sound and saw two people kneeling on the ground without any equipment on the other side of the spherical portal.

One of them was bent over, with long hair loose, his forehead pressed against the ground, one hand covering his abdomen, and the other hand tearing at his head.

She dug her fingers into her hair, grabbed a clump, and pulled it down hard, tearing her hair out by the roots. That piercing scream came from her.

The other person was curled up, limbs spasming and tightly clenched together, hugging himself, scratching his throat repeatedly with his hands, his fingernails drawing bloody marks on his skin, blood seeping from the wounds and flowing down his neck.

His whole body was trembling, his teeth were chattering, and he was making muffled noises in his throat, making it impossible to tell whether he was crying or laughing.

Han Che's expression was complicated. He recognized them; they were the two lone warriors he had seen at the evacuation point who had been shattered by the water jet.

They were resurrected here, but their bodies still remember the moment of their death.

They still remember the feeling of their bones breaking, the feeling of their internal organs being shattered, and the feeling of their bodies being torn apart.

Those feelings were etched into their nerves and into their memories.

Their bodies are experiencing phantom pain, reliving those moments of being shattered and torn apart.

Han Che looked at the two people; they had actually come out even later than him…

This means that after Han Che saw them being shattered by the "water column," they actually survived for a while, until Han Che and the other four had all evacuated. They were then resurrected and teleported out after dying in the danger zone.

A pitiful howl echoed across the square, and several officials in black uniforms ran over from a distance.

They had originally come to pick up Han Che and his group of five. Several of them rushed to the two lone attackers, crouched down, and tried to subdue them.

But they didn't carry any sedatives, and they dared not forcibly restrain the patient for fear of causing further harm and making the patient suffer more. They could only reach out in vain, trying to soothe them.

"Two people here are experiencing phantom pain, and it's very serious! Get two tranquilizers, quick!" the leader of the men in black said into his earpiece.

"Are you guys alright?" The leader of the men in black ran up to Han Che and his group, glanced at their equipment, and determined that they had successfully evacuated.

"If there's nothing else, wait a moment and don't run around. Let's deal with these two first." He waved his hand in the air to signal them not to move, then turned and ran back.

Those two players were incredibly strong when they went berserk; it took two or three people to barely control one of them.

About a minute later, several more men in black came running over with a stretcher and a box.

Upon opening the box, they found two tranquilizer injections inside. The man in black immediately plunged the syringes into the necks of the two men.

With the injection of the sedative, the two immediately calmed down, their spasming muscles gradually relaxed, and they subsequently passed out.

The men in black carried the two onto stretchers and quickly took them away from the square.

Not long after the two men were carried away, Han Che and the others were also picked up, taken into their usual black van, and taken to the Sanren Association.

Cai Chengfu and Qi Shao were picked up by a special person from the Longteng Club. Because of the sudden incident in the square, the two sides were separated before they could even say goodbye.

Once inside the black van, the car started moving, the scenery outside the window began to recede, and the atmosphere gradually calmed down. Xiaobai finally broke the silence, "Those two, were they the ones we saw before we left?"

Old Zhou's expression was solemn, and he nodded slightly. "It should be."

"They came out even later than us..." Xiaobai thought of the scene she had seen before the evacuation.

One of them, with all four limbs broken, was bobbing up and down in the water.

One of them was split in two, with its upper body lying on the platform and its lower body still in the water.

Thinking of this scene, Xiaobai couldn't help but close her eyes and shake her head, "No wonder the hallucination pain is so intense."

"I wonder if I'll go crazy..." Old Zhou sighed. "So what exactly was that? Was it really a lake monster?"

Recalling the scene at the time, Xiaobai said, "I don't think it's possible... The things that have appeared in the danger zone so far are similar to our real world, and nothing supernatural has appeared yet."

Han Che's expression was also not good. He put his arm on his knee and stared blankly at his toes.

Xiao Bai's gaze shifted to Han Che, who remained silent as he looked at his profile. She didn't disturb him. "If Young Master Qi is right, that thing passed right under his feet, so why didn't it attack them?"

Han Che was also thinking about this question. The horse walked under his feet but did not trigger his killing intent.

Was it that he had no intention to kill, or did my perception fail me?

His perception never failed him in dangerous areas, and he never missed any threatening creatures.

He can sense anything hostile, whether it's a person, an NPC, or anything else.

But in the water, the thing slid past Qi Shao's feet, within his range of perception, and he didn't feel anything at all.

Would something that would kill two free agents with such violence turn a blind eye to me, who was right next to it?

Han Che couldn't understand it, and more importantly, when did this thing appear in his prison?

The car stopped in front of the Sanren Association building, and several people got out and went inside.

After going through the routine again, Xiaobai and Lao Zhou handed over the supplies they had found to the Sanren Association for recycling. Han Che, on the other hand, made up an excuse, saying that this prison trip was too unique and he wanted to keep the items as souvenirs, so he didn't take them back.

The real reason, of course, was that the prison belonged to him, the warden, and the system did not allow him to sell the prison's supplies, so he neither brought out much nor sold anything.

After returning the items to the Sanren Association, Xiaobai and Lao Zhou planned to drive back to the club first.
