Chapter 147: Mutual Actor

"What is that?" Chu Cheng asked, frowning.

"There's not enough information to be sure," Friday replied. "The DNA scan shows that it's not human."

"Infected?" Chu Cheng asked.

"Not exactly," Friday said. "It's more like something between the dead and the infected."

In detective mode, they could see the shadow coming closer, crawling out of the darkness. Chu Cheng was ready, and Batman was also prepared to handle whatever was coming.

When the shadow was about ten to fifteen feet away, it suddenly leaped at them.

Before Chu Cheng could react, the leader, Liang Ye, moved first. He stepped sideways into the darkness and reached out with a long arm.

Liang Ye grabbed the throat of the creature in mid-air, halting its attack. The creature screamed angrily in his grip.

On screen, Chu Cheng saw the creature clearly. It was black as coal, with a strange, twisted body that didn't quite look human. It was a bizarre sight.

Liang Ye grabbed the creature with one hand and threw it to the ground. The creature rolled, got up, and tried to grab him with twisted arms.

Liang Ye dodged, grabbed the creature's arm, and stomped on it. He pulled hard, tearing the arm off. Instead of blood, a black liquid oozed out. Liang Ye then kicked the creature hard in the chest, knocking it down.

Before the creature could get up, Liang Ye crushed its head. He tossed the broken arm aside and smiled at the young man named "Snake."

"Like I said, don't worry," he said confidently. "I'm very strong."

Chu Cheng gave some praise and noticed that Liang Ye looked like a tough fighter. The dark monster, whatever it was, was strong but not strong enough to withstand Liang Ye's power.

Friday reminded Chu Cheng, "Agent Liang Ye's physical fitness is at the top level for someone with special abilities."

"And Agent Luo's fitness is also at the top level?" Chu Cheng asked.

Liang Ye's special ability was his Phantom skill. The files mentioned it was very good, but the exact level wasn't clear. From what Chu Cheng saw, Liang Ye didn't need to use his Phantom skill for this fight.

For now, Liang Ye was taking on the role of the main fighter, letting his team follow his lead. Chu Cheng decided to let Liang Ye take the lead for now.

With the communication cut off, Chu Cheng couldn't figure out their exact location underground. Given the shifting ruins, it was even harder to pinpoint where they were.

Here's a simplified version of your text with the requested changes:

---

There was only one way to find the right direction.

The radiation level monitor provided by Miyazaki was key. It didn't need a signal to work and could still help find the evidence they were looking for.

So, even though the nine agents in the ruins were separated and couldn't communicate, the radiation monitor would help them find their way back together. As long as they went to the right coordinates, they could regroup.

In these dark underground areas, the monitor was like a compass for the agents. It would guide them all to the same spot by tracking the radiation signal.

Liang Ye, who was quite a tough guy, had faced two attacks so far: one by a single monster and another by a group of three. He handled both easily, showing he was serious about protecting a young man named "Snake."

Chu Cheng was impressed by Liang Ye. It reminded him of how everyone wanted to be on the team of the top student during the semester. Liang Ye's role seemed to be to shield the younger agent and take the lead.

Chu Cheng noticed that Liang Ye, who was supposed to be a "Phantom Driver," was fighting off enemies himself. It felt like clicking on an expected character and getting a different one instead.

Chu Cheng preferred to see for himself how strong the "dangerous" phantom really was. He didn't like uncertainty.

"Sir, multiple enemies detected," Friday alerted.

In detective mode, lights and shadows appeared all around them. Some enemies were standing, some crawling, some hiding in the shadows, and others clinging to the walls.

A message on the screen showed that nine enemies had been scanned.

The numbers are higher than before.

"It seems something is off," Chu Cheng said to his team.

"Oh? You noticed it too?" Liang Ye replied with a smile. "Good job staying alert."

At that moment, the first monster launched a surprise attack from the shadows.

Liang Ye punched it hard and knocked it down. As he did, he avoided another monster's sharp claws.

"Stand behind me!" Liang Ye shouted, kicking away a monster attacking from the side.

"Watch out!" Chu Cheng warned as a monster targeted Batman, who was dodging its attacks and landing a perfect counter-kick to the monster's throat.

The man under the Batman mask was actually Bruce Wayne, Gotham's top billionaire, who was known for his charity work and construction projects. As a master of disguise and combat, Bruce Wayne was adept at handling threats while maintaining his public persona.

Even when he was fighting, Batman's moves were expertly calculated to fit his character's image, allowing him to strike effectively while looking like he was just an ordinary person.

Liang Ye, facing multiple monsters, continued to fight while also protecting his teammates. He kicked a monster attacking from the side and made sure to cover his team.

But Chu Cheng noticed something odd: despite the intense battle, the other side didn't seem to be trying to end it quickly.

"Sir, a new target is approaching... behind you!" Fridat warned.

Before the warning could finish, a black wall behind Batman on the screen suddenly cracked open. A figure emerged from the rubble, grabbing Batman by the throat and pulling him backward.

Chu Cheng squinted at the screen, trying to make sense of who this new attacker was.

Leng Ji?
