INHA Chapter 100

Moonlit: Happy 100th chapter and no 1-whole-chapter cuddly moment between Zhulong and Dongyou yet ( ≧ᗜ≦) HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I am slowly doubting if there really is romance here.

Xu Dongyou’s anxiety grew even stronger. “I think we should end it now. With so many people here, if something really happens…”

Stampede accidents were also very dangerous.

Zhang Feng was taken aback, his expression turning serious. “You’re right. We can’t gamble on when this possibility might happen. I’ll contact the Bureau right away and have them help us end the concert.”

But before Zhang Feng could take out his spiritual energy watch, Xu Dongyou’s sense of alarm surged intensely. His face changed instantly. “It’s too late!”

He rushed out to find the program director. “Go to the broadcast room and tell all the audience to evacuate.”

The program director was momentarily stunned, thinking that the concert was about to end anyway and questioning why they needed to interrupt the program. He was about to say something when the ground started shaking violently, causing everything that was set up to fall to the floor.

The program director’s face turned pale, his mind almost blank.

Xu Dongyou’s expression was extremely grim as he stared intently at the depression behind the stage. It seemed like something was trying to emerge from there.

“Hurry up! Make sure everyone leaves immediately,” Xu Dongyou urged the program director.

The program director snapped out of it, nodding quickly and stammering, “I’ll go right away.”

Regardless of whether there was an earthquake or not, it was crucial to evacuate everyone to an open area quickly to avoid any buildings collapsing and injuring people.

The crowd, including the audience, was thrown into panic. Some were shouting if there had been an earthquake, while others stood still, confused. Some tried desperately to push through the crowd to escape.

However, if just one person left was manageable, when three or five people, or even dozens, tried to leave, the herd mentality would cause most people to instinctively follow, leading to the three exits quickly becoming jam-packed. No one could get out.

The chaos was such that a terrifying stampede accident could happen at any moment.

The program director had already rushed to the broadcast room. All the staff were stunned, completely unsure of what to do. The program director urgently grabbed one of the broadcasters. “Why are you just standing there? Quickly notify everyone and the security department to evacuate the entire audience!”

One of the broadcasters pointed to a small screen. “Director, look at this.”

The program director followed the direction and was also stunned. He gasped, “What on earth is that…!”

The program director’s reaction was understandable given the scene on the screen. The distant view was dim and overcast, but in the corners of the frame, there was a blurry, enormous silhouette that seemed to be emerging from the depression.

It resembled a living creature.

Zhang Feng initially intended to go check on the situation, but Xu Dongyou urgently grabbed him. “Brother Zhang, go to the broadcast room immediately.”

Zhang Feng understood and nodded. “Got it. Be careful yourself. I’ve already contacted the Bureau.”

The nearest Bureau staff were rushing to the scene.

Xu Dongyou acknowledged with a quick nod and dashed out. Inside, Tian Haomiao instinctively followed Zhang Feng, his anxiety growing. Knowing Zhang Feng and Xu Dongyou’s identities, and seeing their reactions, he immediately wondered if the earthquake might be related to the monster.

Among everyone, the most terrified and anxious was Lu Xianhong. He still had items related to Xu Dongyou in his pocket and his mind was in a state of turmoil.

He feared that this earthquake might somehow be connected to Xu Dongyou.

But the problem was, he hadn’t handed over the items to the other party yet. More importantly, he only wanted Xu Dongyou dead, not for everyone, including himself, to die here.

Lu Xianhong’s expression was a mix of anxiety and indecision. He urgently shouted at his assistant and manager, “Let’s go quickly.”

The two immediately nodded and followed the crowd toward the exit. Besides the front passage, there was also a backstage passage used by staff and celebrities.

However, this passage was now also crowded with a large number of spectators and staff. The contestants and celebrities had lost their star power in this chaos. Everyone was desperately trying to escape.

Meanwhile, Zhang Feng arrived at the broadcast room and saw the indistinct monster on the screen. His expression darkened; it seemed the earthquake was indeed an unusual event. He quickly took over the broadcaster’s seat and used the loudspeakers to broadcast his voice across the entire concert venue.

“Please do not crowd. Do not rush. Move forward one by one. The more crowded it gets, the harder it is to get out. It will be troublesome if a stampede occurs.”

Zhang Feng’s voice, infused with his unique ability, helped calm the crowd’s emotions.

This had a significant effect. The panicking audience began to calm down and followed his instructions, realizing that rushing would only make things worse. Some even urged others not to push forward.

With the crowd cooperating, they gradually moved forward. A majority of the audience had successfully left the concert stage and reached a safer, open area. Other security personnel were helping maintain order.

Although some people with poor manners tried to push forward, they were sternly glared at by a few burly individuals, which made them back off.

As most of the audience had already left, the earthquake finally subsided. The remaining audience immediately quieted down.

“Is the earthquake over?”

“Are we safe now?”

The clamor of voices was chaotic until a piercing scream cut through the night sky, causing everyone’s emotions to suddenly shift to panic and fear.

Everyone instinctively looked up in horror and fear as they saw a massive creature charging towards them from the distance. The ground rumbled and terrifying thoughts immediately surged in their minds.

Could the earlier earthquake be related to this monster?

The creature roared toward them, a sound even more terrifying than a tiger’s roar. People screamed in waves, desperately running forward. A few girls, caught off guard, fell to the ground and were trampled over.

Crying and screaming erupted.

Zhang Feng broke out in cold sweat and had to use his spiritual power once again to try to calm the crowd. However, with the monster now reaching the stage, the fear had reached a peak that was impossible to quell.

Zhang Feng’s face was grim. He jumped out of a window and rushed toward the passage to rescue people, knowing that if he didn’t act quickly, those girls might really be trampled to death.

Fortunately, other handlers from the Anomaly Handling Bureau also arrived at this moment.

“We are handlers from the Anomaly Handling Bureau. Everyone, do not crowd! Move forward one by one!”

“We have more people from the Anomaly Handling Bureau on the way. We will handle the monster issue, but if you push forward, accidents will happen.”

The handlers’ words gave the crowd some reassurance. They anxiously followed the instructions, managing to control the stampede situation. Some security personnel quickly helped the girls to their feet and led them out.

At the same time, police and special forces arrived on the scene, which greatly reassured the audience. They looked at the monster with trepidation and fear. As it approached, they realized it was even more grotesque and terrifying than any mythical creature they had seen on television.

A few small screams were heard from the crowd.

The live broadcast of the concert was still ongoing and the large screen was stuck displaying several smaller screens. One of these screens clearly showed Xu Dongyou standing at the highest point, his expression stern.

His slender figure looked especially tiny in front of the massive creature, causing all the viewers to feel a surge of anxiety and concern.

“Oh my god, Xu Dongyou hasn’t come out!”

“That monster is about to reach him! Hurry, save him, save him!”

“Why is Xu Dongyou still standing there? Run, hurry up!”

At the same time, other small screens showed handlers rushing towards the scene.

The concert, being live-streamed, had quickly become a trending topic. Xu Dongyou’s parents, who typically didn’t watch online live broadcasts, were now watching. As parents, they felt they had to support their son’s performance and were sitting with Xu Yangchen in front of the screen, waiting for Xu Dongyou to appear.

However, Xu Dongyou’s parents never expected to see such a scene. When they saw their son on screen, they didn’t want to see him in this kind of danger.

The monster was getting closer, but their son remained standing there, seemingly calm rather than terrified. Mother Xu felt a surge of fear and dizziness, her heart racing and she was on the verge of fainting.

Father Xu was clutching his chest, nearly fainting from the fright, and Xu Yangchen was also panicked, shouting at the screen, “Brother! Get out of there!”

“My Dongyou—” Mother Xu cried out in anguish before her voice trailed off.

On the screen, the monster had reached the stage and was not focusing on Xu Dongyou but on the nearby humans. It roared and smashed through the stage, charging forward with a fierce, predatory gaze filled with greed.

Screams erupted from the crowd as people pushed and shoved to retreat, but they were already backed into a corner. They had to get around the front passage to escape.

The position of the crowd was dangerously close to the monster’s path, and all their hopes were pinned on the handlers and special forces.

Then, Xu Dongyou jumped out from a very unusual angle. The ground suddenly rose, forming steps that supported him. He quickly released dozens of vine seeds, which within seconds grew into vines over ten meters long, wrapping around the monster’s legs.

The vines stopped the monster’s advance.

Xu Dongyou stared at the creature, giving it a serious warning he had never shown on camera before, “Back off! Move another step and I’ll retaliate.”

The monster roared, finally noticing Xu Dongyou, and became even more frenzied. Its tail swung violently toward Xu Dongyou.

Xu Dongyou was unafraid. Since his power had surged recently, he felt capable of handling the monster. However, the monster was stuck near the exit of the passage and he was worried that innocent people might get caught up in the battle. Therefore, he was cautious not to cause too much harm to the monster and tried to lure it away from the crowd.

Xu Dongyou summoned the vines again, wrapping them around the monster’s tail and restraining it once more. In his hand, he held a dagger, though he wasn’t sure when he had taken it out.
