Chapter 1573: Chapter 1573: Woman’s Head
Aria Jackson exhaled deeply and said, "I need to apply for some heat weapons, relying on just a few pistols probably won’t help."
The officer next to her shivered and asked, "Boss, after this... how do we write the work report?"
Aria Jackson slapped his forehead impatiently!
"How can you still think about reports at a time like this?!"
The two officers downstairs also walked over at this time, but halfway through, their expressions suddenly changed, and Aria Jackson realized something was wrong and pushed the officer beside her away!
Several black tentacles stretched down from upstairs, wrapping around Aria Jackson, who was closest to the stairs!
Aria Jackson felt her body suddenly lose strength, and then she was lifted uncontrollably into the air, heading upward!
At the critical moment, Cherry grabbed her hand! A chilling yin energy coursed along Aria Jackson’s arm, as cold winds swept through, sending a shiver down her spine, and then the tentacles around her waist and arms loosened—
Bang!
Aria Jackson crashed heavily onto the stairs in mid-air!
"Hurry up!" Cherry urged with a pale face, "Close the doors and windows! Everyone get out!"
Aria Jackson, gritting her teeth in pain and with no time to complain, immediately instructed the team to securely close the doors and windows on the first floor, then evacuate everyone outside the house.
After moving twenty or thirty meters away from the house, they were finally able to let out a breath.
"It won’t come down from upstairs, will it?" Aria Jackson gasped heavily.
Gavin Graves said, "The tentacles shouldn’t stretch that far, but it’s truly astonishing, didn’t expect it to grow that big..."
"Did you all forget? The witch’s curse was meant for an elephant." Cherry reminded them.
"Yes, the witch." Aria Jackson gasped as she looked at the house, "The woman’s head growing on Moissanite is the witch!"
Gavin Graves nodded, his emotions surging uncontrollably at the moment, "Not only is there a curse on Moissanite, but also the witch’s soul, they’ve grown together!"
Aria Jackson said harshly, "Burn it with fire!"
"They’re not afraid of fire." Gavin Graves replied, having tried before.
"Those tentacles are transformed from evil energy, definitely not afraid of water or fire, but the host might be." Cherry said, "Without a host, the evil energy would have nothing to attach to and would disappear."
The officer next to them added, "But there are trees everywhere here, if a fire starts, it would be a big problem."
"Then cut down the trees!" Aria Jackson resolutely stared at the nearby house, "That kind of thing cannot stay an extra day!"
Aria Jackson immediately began deploying, mobilizing personnel, and applying for equipment.
The bureaucratic approvals were originally very tedious, but given the seriousness of the situation, her superiors opened a special channel for her, and all demands were met at the fastest speed.
By afternoon, the road leading up the mountain was sealed off, caution tape surrounded the house, and professional lumberjacks began targeted clearing of trees around the area, quickly clearing the site and leaving it bare.
A few SWAT officers were completely armed, their protective suits sealed tightly from head to toe.
Aria Jackson also suited up in a protective suit.
As the case’s lead and the person most familiar with the scene, she would lead the team into the house to install a special bomb.
As the evening sun cast colorful clouds while illuminating the mountain flora, this should have been a beautiful scene, but unfortunately, no one was there to appreciate it.
Aria Jackson laid out a structural plan in front of her, pointing to the location on it she instructed the team, "The core of the mutant is located here, we don’t need to go upstairs, just install the bomb directly below it. To ensure the bomb’s power, it must be installed at the specified location. Once installation is complete, wait for my signal to evacuate safely, is that clear?"
Everyone replied in unison, "Yes, ma’am!"
