I was transported from Lobotomy Corporation to another world.

Location: Gotham City

Anlisa felt a chill run down her spine as she looked at the collapsed bricks and rubble. She had just seen Reina and Alice standing nearby.

Anlisa rushed in, shouting, "Save them first! Rena! Lis!"

Those behind, recovering from their shock, some also rushed in.

Anlisa squeezed through the gap, but the path ahead was blocked, and she couldn't get in at all.

Tef followed them in and saw the path blocked ahead.

Tef put his longsword aside and said, "Anlisa! I'll move that stone aside, you can sneak in while I'm at it!"

"Thank you!" Anlisa nodded, and Tef also went over and braced himself against the stone.

"Hurry over!"

After dodging some small pebbles, Anlisa went inside, but after passing this hurdle, there was another one.

The ruins are becoming increasingly unstable, and the dust is getting thicker, making it impossible to breathe.

Anlisa coughed several times, covered her mouth and nose with her hand, and continued crawling forward.

But as she climbed, she suddenly noticed that there seemed to be less dust in the air. Anlisa was puzzled, but there was no time to waste.

Actually, Ouyang Qing used an air-purifying spell in front of the ruins. This spell consumes magic power over time, but the consumption is not significant.

Anlisa felt much better now, and the outsiders were gradually pushing the stone aside.

Anlisa pried open the stones in front of her, and the first thing she saw was a huge iron box supporting a ceiling that was about to collapse.

Next to the metal box were a bunch of tentacles, but they looked dead...

Anlisa had seen this thing before while doing a mission, and she was gloating.

Anlisa saw it from outside as well: Reed, covered in blood, fighting with an even bigger, more gloating figure than before.

I don't know why the schadenfreude has gotten so intense, and there are so many red tentacles.

But in the end, it seems Reed stabbed himself in the eye with a large knife, and then killed the somewhat deranged mayor.

Anlisa continued crawling forward and finally saw Rena and Alice buried in the rubble.

Alice held Rena, protecting her head with her hands, but she herself was hit by the rocks many times.

His head was bleeding profusely, and his body was filthy; he had some serious injuries from being hit by a falling object.

Rena had a huge gash in her chest, and her blood stained the surrounding ruins red.

Anlisha gritted her teeth and rushed in, reaching out her hands to try and pull out the rock in front of her.

However, the stones were too heavy; one person alone could not move them.

But Rena had lost too much blood and wouldn't last until then.

Just as Anlisa was in despair, suddenly a pair of hands appeared beside her, carrying stones just like hers.

Anlisa's hope was rekindled, and she was overjoyed. "Good thing Tef came! First, move this stone to the other side! Then..."

Anlisa looked at the owner of the hands, and froze before she could finish speaking.

"You? Who are you?"

The person in front of me wasn't Tef, but someone wearing a mask and a trench coat.

The masks feature a variety of emotional expressions, all printed on the entire mask.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through An Lisa's mind! She exclaimed, "You're that mysterious masked man from before?!"

That's right, this person was the same mysterious figure who had previously stopped Red from killing the gloating one; he retreated after the failed sneak attack.

Anlisa had also heard Reed mention that she had been stopped by a masked man.

Anlisa immediately became alert, after all, this mysterious person was an enemy to her.

But I just don't understand why this mysterious person is here?

"Why are you here? What do you want?" Anlisa asked the question that had been on her mind.

The mysterious man neither spoke nor paid any attention to the other party. Instead, he used both hands to push the stone aside.

(Such great strength...) The mysterious man pushed the stone away with just his bare hands.

Seeing this, Anlisa hurriedly went inside and checked the two women's breathing with her hands.

Alice's breathing was a little weak, and she probably inhaled a lot of dust earlier.

Rena's condition was very bad; she was on the verge of death and would die immediately without immediate first aid.

Anlisa subconsciously looked at the mysterious man, who just then took a bottle of potion from his pocket and tossed it to her.

Anlisa took the medicine, unsure what to say, and cautiously glanced at it.

It's a life-restoring potion, though it can't bring Rena back from the brink of death.

But at least it bought them some time. Anlisa pulled out the cork and poured most of the recovery potion onto Rena's wound.

The remaining medicine was poured onto Alice's wound.

The shouts and the sounds of stones being moved outside reached Anlisa's ears.

This means the rescuers are almost here, and Rena is likely to survive long enough for them to arrive.

Anlisa looked at the mysterious man in front of her and asked again, "What exactly do you want? Why are you stopping Reid, and why are you saving us?"

The mysterious man didn't speak, but instead took out the book and opened it.

Anlisa tried to stop him, but the mysterious man vanished in a flash of light.

Anlisa was completely bewildered. They just left like that? To be precise, it was completely inexplicable.

He helped himself without saying a word or giving any reason.

Anlisa absolutely did not believe that this mysterious person did this out of kindness.

If that were truly the case, he wouldn't have stopped Reed from killing the gloating one.

If they had been gloating, this whole mess wouldn't have happened, and Alice, Reina, and Reid wouldn't be in danger.

They initially thought the mysterious person was an enemy, but instead, he saved their friend.

The mysterious man couldn't possibly not recognize him; during that mission, he must have witnessed his conversation with Reed.

If that's the case, then it's even stranger. What exactly is this mysterious man doing? There seems to be no reward for what he's doing.

Anlisa considered many reasons why the mysterious person had done all this, but none of them seemed right.

"Right here, right here!"

"Found it, found it!"

Tef wiped the dust off his face and stretched out his hands, saying, "Anlisa! Give me the injured one first!"

Anlisa snapped out of her thoughts and quickly handed Rena, who was the most seriously injured, to Tef.

Tef caught her in his arms and handed her to the priest beside him, then rescued Alice as well.

Anlisa grabbed Tef's hands and climbed out, while everyone else gasped for breath.

"Holy crap, they're finally out!"

"Speaking of which, this is the mayor's estate, isn't it...?"

"Yes, what happened? Where is the mayor?"

"I just saw the mayor! But he had a red hood next to him! And there was a huge monster next to him!"

"That monster wouldn't be the town mayor..."

"Everyone, come quick! We've found the monster's corpse!"

Alice and Reina were then moved to a safe place for treatment, but they remain unconscious.

Anlisa and Tef tried to find Reed in the ruins, but apart from some bloodstains, they found no trace of him.

Instead, they found the mayor's headless body, and Anlisa told everyone what the mayor had done.

Although Anlisa didn't say it was a monster summoned by the mayor, because Anlisa didn't know the reason or why...

Although some people were filled with suspicion, after seeing the gloating corpses and the books in the basement beneath the ruins...

All doubts were dispelled.

After hearing the news, Ouyang Qing paused for a few seconds before finally walking out of the manor...

Anlisa sat next to the two injured women, her face furrowed.

Redner...

where are you?

What exactly does this mysterious person want? His name is currently unknown…

Then let's call it...
