This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous-Chapter 968 - 457: Our Branch is Super Awesome_3

Blue Beard was acutely aware that if the Titan really charged, their side would likely crumble like paper mâché in a single strike, unable to withstand. The threat of the Divine Beast alone was lethal, leading directly to no one daring to confront the Titan head-on.

"President, it’s moving!"

Just as Blue Beard was pondering, a reminder from his subordinate came through the walkie-talkie.

He hurriedly looked up and sure enough, at that moment, the Titan seemed to suddenly go berserk, roaring loudly and running out from behind the high-rise buildings, speeding towards a certain direction.

"Quick, long-range firepower, give it your all, we must drive it back!" Blue Beard hastily ordered.

In the direction where the Titan charged, countless long-range magic attacks were simultaneously unleashed, exploding around the Titan’s body.

The Titan, in pain, roared with fury but this time it did not stop its charge, still facing the bombardment as it continued to rush forward.

"What’s going on?" Blue Beard was both anxious and perplexed. It was fine just a moment ago, so why the sudden berserk rage? Had someone carelessly fired a shot and provoked the Titan?

Amidst these thoughts, the Titan had already rapidly rushed to the front of the crowd.

Now it was the players’ turn to be in a dilemma below: To retreat or not?

If they retreated, it would be seen as defying orders and would allow the Titan to easily break through; if they didn’t retreat, were they supposed to watch themselves turn into target practice, not to mention the very real possibility of being slapped to death by the Titan’s palm ...

Fortunately, they no longer needed to make that choice.

Just as the Titan was about to reach the crowd, a huge black shadow descended from the sky, blocking the Titan’s path, and threw an uppercut at the Titan’s face with its paw.

The Titan was forced to take a step back, finally stopping its advance, but it immediately turned around and furiously smashed back at the Shadow Ghost.

And while the two giant creatures were entangled together, above the Titan’s head, a figure clad in a red robe and wielding a sickle plunged down.

When approaching about twenty meters above the Titan, Lin Xue unfolded her Grim Reaper skin.

The colossal Grim Reaper Phantom instantly appeared, and the Grim Reaper’s right arm raised the sickle high, slashing down with force, "slash" leaving a several dozen meter-long wound on the Titan’s back as blood spurted out.

At the same time, two shrill cries echoed from the sky as two gigantic birds dived towards the Titan on the ground.

As one of the birds neared the ground, two figures, one large and one small, leaped off and landed on the rooftop of a nearby building.

Blue Beard, watching the sudden appearance of four large creatures in the front, breathed a sigh of relief: the reinforcements had finally arrived.

"Withdraw your people, leave only the healers and support staff, and give us space," Lin Xue instructed nearby, seizing the moment while the three Divine Beasts were tangled up with the Titan.

"Understood!"

Blue Beard quickly nodded, then turned to wave at everyone: "All units, fall back two hundred meters, medical team and support staff stay put, cast all support abilities on friendly creatures!"

Upon receiving the order, the players immediately took action, retreating and casting spells accordingly.

Blue Beard, however, turned back to look at the Grim Reaper Phantom returning to the battlefield, his face full of envy.

Divine Skin! This is Divine Skin...

It was utterly cool!

Luckily, he wouldn’t have to envy for long, as he too would soon have his own Divine Skin because the Divine Artifact corresponding to the Water God had been found by him, and now that so many Titans had descended upon Earth, all he needed was a single drop of Divine Blood afterwards to activate his Divine Skin at any time!

Of course, the prerequisite is to survive this disaster; otherwise, all this talk is for nothing.

...

While Blue Beard was fantasizing about Divine Skin, in another direction, the support team from City K, Zhang Yang looked oddly at the battle between several gigantic creatures ahead, focusing on the Grim Reaper Phantom, or more precisely, on the female figure hidden deep within it.

He knew exactly who she was, the legendary Red Sickle God. Although often overlooked because she usually appeared alongside the Ghost Captain, no one could deny her status when mentioned alone.

However, this top-tier individual, who should have been high above, seemed all the more familiar to Zhang Yang the more he looked at her.

Actually, not just the Red Sickle God but also the two women, one tall and one short, who appeared with her evoked a similar sense of familiarity.

"Where have I seen them before..."

Zhang Yang frowned, struggling to search his memory.

Until, at a certain moment, a lightbulb went off in his head, and he blurted out, "Wait, I think I know where I have seen them before!"

"Huh? Old Zhang, what did you say?" Liu Chen looked over, puzzled.

"But that’s not right..."

Zhang Yang, however, completely ignored Liu Chen’s words and started mumbling to himself again: "If those three really are the same as those three people, then the Ghost Captain, whose identity is heavily linked with theirs, could it be..."

"Holy shit! Could it be... Holy shit!"

Zhang Yang suddenly widened his eyes, cursing out loud.

Is the Ghost Captain... Mu You??!

It seems not impossible!

Mu You has been missing for the past few days, and about the situation of the Ghost Captain, he had occasionally heard from his superiors that they were currently in the Star Spirit World doing something very important, so temporarily unable to return...

Doesn’t that match up perfectly!

Plus, the last time the Shadow Ghost appeared in City K, it too was subdued by the Ghost Captain, but when they arrived, only Mu You was at the scene.

At the time, Mu You said the Ghost Captain had already left in pursuit of the enemy, and while everyone was puzzled, they didn’t doubt it.

And now, looking back, if Mu You is the Ghost Captain, then everything has a more reasonable and natural explanation!

Is the Ghost Captain truly Mu You?

Zhang Yang gradually confirmed this notion, causing a tempest of shock to surge through his heart. When he thought about how all this time, he had been the direct superior of such a significant figure as the Ghost Captain and had fought alongside them numerous times... he was filled with a blend of emotions—bewilderment, embarrassment, surprise, pride, honor, and apprehension—all of which made his face extremely expressive.

"Old Zhang, what’s gotten into you? Snap out of it!" Liu Chen, witnessing Zhang Yang’s initial befuddlement, shock, and then a foolish smile, was startled and thought the pressure from the Titan had damaged his brain.

Zhang Yang was jolted back to reality by Liu Chen’s words but then gave him a meaningful look and said with a secretive smile, "Old Liu, let me tell you, our branch office is freaking awesome!"

"Hmm? You’re under too much pressure, aren’t you?" Liu Chen looked at him even more oddly.

"Let me tell you... never mind, you wouldn’t believe it anyway," Zhang Yang said, no longer paying attention to Liu Chen and already considering whether he should get an autograph or something from Mu You as soon as he returned.
