The effective kill radius of a standard fragmentation grenade is about ten to fifteen meters.

The height at which Lv Bai threw the grenade was sufficient to ensure that even if it exploded, it wouldn’t pose a life-threatening danger to the people below.

After dealing with this man-made attack, Lv Bai returned to the top of the armored vehicle in a free-fall manner, still wearing his usual friendly smile.

"The ’Smiling Face’s’ ability is still active."

Amidst the crowd, Swift Horse pursed his lips, stuffing the remaining grenade into his pants, his muscles tensed, feet slowly retreating.

In his view, even if there really exists an ability that can seal a Death Fighter’s abilities.

Such an abnormal effect should also seal the user’s abilities as well; otherwise, what would be the point for other Death Fighters to play?

But Lv Bai’s appearance in mid-air, as if by teleportation, proved that only their abilities were sealed.

This situation is dire...

Yapi’s eyes flickered, unable to accept such a reality.

The girl with the bow hairpin lowered her head, not daring to look in Lv Bai’s direction again.

She spoke in a low voice, "Should we continue to probe?"

Upon hearing the question, Yapi subtly shook his head, "No need, we can now conclude that the abilities being sealed is all ’Innocent Smile’s’ doing."

The girl with the bow hairpin glanced back at Swift Horse, "What should we do now?"

Perhaps reluctant to run away openly, Swift Horse decided to find an excuse for himself.

"With this commotion, I’d guess the other Death Fighters have also realized their abilities have been sealed."

He looked around and added, "Surely, they won’t act as if nothing happened; let’s assess the situation first."

Before Yapi could respond, several abrupt caws of crows were heard.

Instantly, the street, already chaotic from the explosion, fell into a deathly silence.

The orderly lines of cars on the road also gradually came to a halt.

Gah~

No one found this sound ridiculous; the voice, as if resonating from the depths of the soul, made everyone present feel like they had plunged into an icy abyss.

Gah~ Gah~

The crow’s caw was prolonged, carrying a strong aura of decay.

Among the somewhat knowledgeable about the supernatural, tears of sheer horror streamed uncontrollably down their faces.

At the peak of fear, the vast majority of people find it hard to scream, with only whimpers seeping out from their throats.

It was impossible to judge the direction the sound came from through the crow’s cawing.

Many people were paralyzed, unable, or rather... unwilling to seek the source of the crow’s call.

But no matter how much people bury their heads in the sand, pretending to be ostriches, it won’t stop it from moving forward.

Lv Bai stood on the armored vehicle, scanning the surroundings, quickly locking his gaze onto the city exit.

There, a silhouette with a black hat and dressed in a black trench coat was slowly approaching.

The material of the trench coat seemed like linen or canvas, apparently waxed, exhibiting some subtle reflections.

But the most striking feature was the bird-beak-like mask worn on its face.

Its appearance alone was enough to send a chill down anyone’s spine.

Upon seeing this figure, Captain Mao’s fingers turned icy as every word seemed squeezed out through his clenched teeth: "Sequence 06, Plague Doctor."

The Plague Doctor held an oil lamp in its left hand, the wick’s small flame flickering, seemingly on the verge of extinguishing at any moment.

It continued advancing elegantly and slowly towards the crowd, carrying the oil lamp.

"Please do not panic. I hear many crying out. Is there someone in need of help? Oh, I mean, I am a doctor."

Its gentle tone was like a hymn from a church choir.

Yet, as it approached, the surrounding civilians and personnel...

Everyone’s face visibly turned green.

Yes, this is a factual description.

It wasn’t the green of health or vitality, but a sickly dark green.

As the dark green deepened, many people’s faces began to rot gradually.

Some wanted to move, wanted to escape...

Unfortunately, it was all in vain; they couldn’t even manage to scream.

Like critically ill elderly, even moving a finger seemed to require all their strength.

The looming shadow enveloped everyone’s hearts, including the Death Fighters present, whose eyes were filled with despair.

In the face of such an irresistible supernatural occurrence, the Death Fighters without their abilities were no different from the natives.

"So, the supernatural can actually be attracted in specific ways?"

Lv Bai mused, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

Perhaps the only person on the scene able to maintain his composure was him.

At this moment, with all his attention focused on the Plague Doctor, his smile grew even brighter.

"Lv... Master Lv, do you have a plan?"

Captain Mao, stiffly turned his neck to look at Lv Bai.

In the arsenal of known human means, none could combat something as high-sequence as the Plague Doctor.

Regardless of whether they were action department personnel or ordinary citizens, all they could do was pray.

Captain Mao’s thought was not unique; countless citizens at this moment shifted their gaze to Lv Bai atop the armored vehicle.

At this point, only Lv Bai could still offer them a glimmer of hope.

But that hope was dim, even if he was the "Guardian God" as described in official propaganda.

Facing Sequence 27’s hatred only meant retreat; with the more dangerous Plague Doctor, what could he do?

Hundreds of thousands of onlookers gazed at Lv Bai with eyes filled with hope.

Lv Bai pressed his temples, feeling somewhat bothered.

To be frank, he wasn’t sure if he could handle this type of supernatural phenomenon.

"Well, I guess I’ll give it a try."

He slowly stood up, smiling as he said to Captain Mao: "Could you please help bring the items from the box and arrange them as I taught you before?"

It’s worth mentioning, to perfectly execute Maoshan Daoist Skill, setting up an altar with a talisman object is necessary.

The setup is cumbersome and is unnecessary for dealing with supernatural entities like the Drowned Ghost, as the abominations simply don’t fall for this.

That’s why he never set up an altar before.

But that doesn’t mean setting up an altar won’t help.

Lighting incense and setting up an altar, even if just using Palm Thunder, will be more effective than normal.

Lv Bai willing to act meant hope for Captain Mao, so he naturally hesitated no more, retrieving the suitcase from the armored vehicle and quickly setting it up at an unprecedented speed.

"I wonder if the Plague Doctor will fall for this."

While setting up, Lv Bai raised his hand and formed a mudra: "The heavenly gate is not open, the earthly gate transforms..."
