Vol.4 - Chapter 28 – Kill

Starting from the gully, the specter was faster than the four groups.

He could smell a faint scent of blood in the air, mixed with the bitterness of rainwater.

And within that scent of blood, there was an unmistakable aroma of sacrifice, so he wouldn't confuse it with other blood scents.

"Somebody died here, even though the blood has been washed away by the rain, it can't fool me." The specter stood under a big tree, and at some point, the bodies hanging from the tree were no longer shrouded in illusions, revealing their true forms.

Those were unfamiliar corpses, already rotten to the point of grotesqueness. Strangely, blood was still dripping from their ankles, as if it were endless.

The specter wrinkled his nose.

He wasn't interested in corpses that were so decomposed. He preferred them fresh.

But the scent of fresh corpses ended here, leaving only the aroma of sacrifice spreading deeper into the jungle.

"Have they destroyed the bodies?" He frowned in dissatisfaction. "Could it be that after the battle, the victor had the energy to move the bodies? Perhaps it was an ambush."

Although he wasn't happy that he couldn't find a corpse to eat for free, he wasn't too concerned about it at the moment. After all, he had a more important goal.

His abilities were straightforward: smell, fight, and eat corpses.

Therefore, he wasn't good at distinguishing the identities of other deductionists, and he wasn't an intellectual deductionist either. For him, if he couldn't find Deduction and Nightmare, then he would just kill everyone.

If they were all dead, he would definitely be the winner.

Chasing after the scent of sacrifice, his agile movements quickly left the cautious four groups far behind. Finally, after passing by a graveyard, he saw a person.

It was Carlos.

Carlos seemed to be resting, occasionally speaking into a walkie-talkie with a weak voice.

There was a lot of blood on him, and when he sat on the ground, he held a gun in his right hand and never let go.

Carlos appeared to be seriously injured.

The specter hid behind a huge tree trunk, observing. Cold light flickered in his eyes, and he sneered lowly, "Huh, did you guess that I was coming and want to pretend to be an injured person to ambush me? Too bad, there's more than one person's presence here."

He could tell at a glance that there wasn't just one person, but two.

His nose could smell the scent of sacrifice and the scent of the living, so in his perception, there was still another person hiding behind the tree!

"Indeed, it's an ambush. They used this method to kill a deductionist, which means these two people aren't actually good at direct combat." Confirming this, the specter licked his lips excitedly.

His movements were light as he circled around in the direction of the person hiding. He had to deal with that person first, catching them off guard!

Getting closer.

The other party seemed to sense something and became restless.

The specter steadied his mind and circled an even larger circle, successfully seeing the person in hiding.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "p𝑎wread.com".

Sure enough, it was the medical personnel.

Behind the tree that Carlos was leaning against, the medical personnel squatted, holding a dagger in their hand, secretly looking out.

Taking advantage of their distraction, the specter pounced!

The medical personnel heard the sudden heavy footsteps and turned around.

The specter thought they would see a face filled with surprise and panic, but to his surprise, there was only a smile of a successful scheme on the medical personnel's face.

His eyelid twitched, feeling that things weren't as simple as they seemed. He snorted coldly and increased his speed.

As long as his close combat ability was strong enough, it didn't matter if the other party had already anticipated which direction he would come from! They underestimated his fighting power!

His fingers became hard, his teeth sharp and dense. He grinned at the medical personnel, resembling a carnivorous animal in pursuit of its prey.

Can he counter-kill? Maybe he can really kill three at once!

He's so fast, damn it. His physical fitness exceeds that of an ordinary person by so much. Even in our Level 1 differentiation, he's outstanding. He truly lives up to being a specter-type deductionist.

To be honest, the specter-type ability will greatly increase our degree of personality alienation, making it easy to become a monster without even having the chance to purify the degree of alienation. But this physical fitness is really amazing.

I want to see him kill three at once!

Pfft.

As if confirming what the audience in the barrage who anticipated a reversal said, the sound of flesh being pierced was clear and distinct.

His hard fingers pierced through the chest, bringing forth a spray of blood.

This was the most real sensation, warm liquid dripping onto the soil, accompanied by a pair of eyes filled with disbelief.

Carlos took a step back.

"How...?" The specter's claws were only a few centimeters away from Carlos' chest. He was first shocked, but when he felt the pain of his own chest being torn apart, shock turned into fear.

The specter stiffly turned his head and saw half of a pale face with a tinge of greenish-gray.

It was the face of Fang Xiaoyu.

But at this moment, this face had no signs of life. His eyes were shrouded in pure darkness, his hair grew to his shoulders, and his skin reflected a strange gleam.

And Fang Xiaoyu's black nails were long and sharp, even more terrifying than the specter's claws.

From the specter's perspective, Fang Xiaoyu had no expression at all. With one hand clamped on the specter's chest, he held the beating heart, and in the other hand, he held a Chinese-style candlestick.

Inside the candlestick, there was a pale candle and a flickering flame.

Look, there's no suspense.

He even killed three at once. He came here to die. Fang's ghostification is much more complete than the specter's.

I really want to see how much weight Fang's personality mask has compared to the sacrifice to have such an ability.So that's what Yu Xing's sacrificial ability is like. It's quite unexpected. I thought he was the behind-the-scenes planner type, but he turned out to be a zombie!

He also has the ability to transform into a specter, which I didn't expect. But thinking back, I initially mistook him for a fallen one. Now I think he must be one of the more vicious types in the mutant line.

"Beautiful, San, very precise." Carlos exaggeratedly clapped his hands. He didn't actually need to take that step back, but instinctively sought a safer position as he watched the ghoul.

After using the white candle zombie transformation ability of the Nether Candle Tears, Yu Xing's face became rigid and he couldn't make any expressions. He nodded at Carlos's words, exerted force with his hand, and didn't give the ghoul any chance to fight back, crushing a pulsating organ.

The ghoul's pupils dilated, blood spilled from the corners of its mouth, and it fell to the ground with a "thud" as Yu Xing withdrew his hand.

Your hunt has been completed.

The system prompt made Yu Xing relax. He was now physically weak and not suitable for prolonged fights.

That's why he had Nightmare and Carlos form a double distraction, making it easier for him to launch a real sneak attack when the ghoul attacked Carlos.

Looking at the ghoul's corpse, Yu Xing's eyes were calm and undisturbed.

Nightmare, who had been a bystander, leaned against a tree to stand up. As she turned her head, she saw this scene, her body shivered, and for some reason, she felt a strong sense of empathy.

She could even imagine Yu Xing coldly tearing her apart. It was thrilling! She wanted to pursue him!

As long as there is life, there is the pursuit of death.

The most important thing in life is to be happy.

Yu Xing didn't know what Nightmare was thinking. He retracted the candlestick into his mask, and the zombie transformation slowly faded away.

The unstable factor has been successfully eliminated. In the next three days, they can explore the plot in peace.
