Simon and Helena immediately ran out of the dormitory, looking in the direction from which the sound came.

The dim light, the misty rainstorm, the pale road, the city is as silent as ever, like a curtain call.

At the corner of the western area of the royal court, I don't know when a woman with pale skin and swollen body began to appear, walking slowly in the direction of the dormitory.

I saw her open arms and slowly walk towards the three of them, under the cold wind and rain, her long black hair spread out in all directions, circling and twisting like countless tentacles. Not only that, but her steps were very light, without a sound at all, like a phantom floating in the air.

She was untouched, with a puffy whiteness, her chest went up to her head, and she was cut out of a 'cross-section' by some sharp weapon, and her internal organs were directly exposed to the wind and rain. This woman of unknown origin, with her hands wrapped in pitch-black chains, stretched into the depths of the rain curtain behind her, as if she was dragging something.

"What's that?" Lerick was just a middle-aged tech nerd, who had never seen such a formation, and he was so frightened that he almost collapsed to the ground.

"Ghost...... It's a big guy. Simon stared at the strange figure, fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

"Can we deal with this kind of thing?" Helena's eyes were extremely stern, like a sharp and delicate short knife.

"Don't talk about dealing with it, if you are targeted by this thing, the chance of survival is lower than a sniper headshot...... Hahaha...... Just kidding. Simon's pale lips trembled, not at all like a joke.

Woo——!!

At this moment, a gust of wind blew through the broken windows of the dormitory, making a sharp sound.

Lerick was startled, and stared at it, as the woman slowly advanced, a black cloud deeper than the dark clouds, which was rapidly spreading in the direction of the dormitory. The end of the black iron chain on the woman's arm happened to sink into the depths of the black clouds in the sky—she actually dragged the thick black clouds, pulling the wind and rain together.

"Is that a ghost too!?" Lerick let out a broken scream.

"This is the big guy who just appeared recently, and seeing her is like seeing death. Our world has become out of common sense, and if it continues to collapse like this, it will sooner or later become a hell on earth. Helenan muttered, and suddenly a sudden spirit fled in the direction of the exit of the dormitory:

"Why are you stunned?

"Let's go!"

When the catastrophe came, Simon didn't care about Lerick, a new member, at this time, just reminded him, and then took a step, turning into a vague afterimage and quickly moving away.

When Lerick saw that the two of them had just left themselves and ran, he felt as if his chest had been penetrated by some sharp weapon, and the wind was blowing.

"The savages who formed a temporary team are really unreliable. ”

However, he didn't forget to run, although his speed was much slower than the two, but he was also trying to stay away from the woman behind him.

"Don't come, don't come!"

While running for his life, Lerick looked back to observe the situation, and found that the woman's pale and swollen figure was staggering along the royal avenue, and there were still thousands of kilometers away from him. After making sure that he was safe for the time being, he bit his lower lip and racked his brains to think of a way out:

"There is a river channel in front of Jinghu Lake, and it is raining heavily here, and the current must be very fast. If you jump into the river, you may be able to pick up a life......

Thinking of this, Lerick turned his head to look behind him again, and at this moment, the woman disappeared completely. It was as if there had never been any living creature in the first place, no women, no chains, and no black clouds that pressed down like mudslides.

"Hoo ......"

Suddenly, there was a heavy breath in front of him, and the sound was so close that it seemed to sound right in front of him.

Lerick was startled and hurriedly turned around.

On the muddy road ahead, the white, swollen woman was dragging the black clouds and was walking towards her.

"Ahhh

Lerick screamed, his legs went limp, and his body fell uncontrollably to the ground, just enough to smash the tattered drain board, and he fell headlong into the sewer. The whole person was suddenly submerged by the turbid water, and floated down the turbulent sewage through the sewer towards the Shanghu area outside the royal court.

......

In the middle of the night, everything was silent, and the darkness covered the heavens and the earth like a curtain.

The city of Ekhtadon was engulfed in clouds, and the entire sky seemed to be wrapped in a shroud, exuding a thick air of death.

The city's empty streets, extremely dark, combined with the cold rain curtain, are like a prison cage in hell.

However, in the darkness, suddenly there was the sound of a person coughing...... In the river near Mirror Lake, a hand covered with mud suddenly stretched out and grabbed the falling branches of the river.

After a few moments of struggle, Lerick emerged from the water, gasping for breath as he could as hard as he could, crawling towards the river.

"I finally picked up a life, but I can't drown......"

He motivated himself, clutched the branches hard, and moved little by little towards the shore.

After a few slips under his feet, Leric, who was almost in collapse, finally crawled to the shore, and without resting, he gritted his teeth and slipped into a private house. After making sure that no one was following, Lerick carefully closed the door, and then collapsed.

In the dark, he took off his clothes in the house, squeezed off the water stains, wiped his body clean, and hung his clothes in a dry place to dry - after surviving in the apocalypse, Lerick also knows a lot about basic survival knowledge, and knows that wet people are prone to the most diseases.

After fumbling for a long time, Lerick found a dusty carpet in his bedroom.

"A life-saving blanket!"

Overjoyed, he didn't care about the dirt, just shook off the dust, and wrapped the carpet around his body to keep warm.

After experiencing extreme panic and exhaustion, Lerick calmed down a little, and then felt a wave of sleepiness hit him, so he fell asleep in a daze.

Boom ——!

I don't know how long later, another loud bang woke him up from his sleep.

Lerick jerked his head and stood up wrapped in a carpet, when a cold silver light flashed outside the window, making him feel creepy.

"It's hard to pick up a life, can you meet a ghost again, won't you be so unlucky? The Sun King is above, your old man has manifested his spirit, bless me." ”

Lerick walked to the window with two trembling eyes, and looked over the street to find a blinding silver glow in the northwest corner.

In the midst of the silver rays, there was a hazy black shadow, tall and seemed to be a man.

I saw the man wielding a short sword, slashing at something in the darkness.

Under the light of the silver light, the scene gradually cleared, and the object of the man's sword swing was a corpse...... The corpse of a red-haired woman.

Sneer——!

Under the shadow of the sword flickering rapidly, the flesh and blood of the female corpse flew sideways, and the filthy blood and rotten flesh were splashing like a fountain, and the man's body was soon stained red with blood, but he didn't realize it, just sword after sword, frantically cutting the female corpse.

Soon, the body was broken into countless pieces, and the man, looking at his masterpiece, let out a manifold laugh:

"Hahahahaha

Lerick was familiar with the voice, and knew that he was Simon, who had just abandoned himself and fled.

I just don't know why he is a person, and what about his wife Helena? What is the female corpse he cut, is it really a ghost? A ghost can also be cut off flesh and blood?

Lerick didn't dare to think deeply, just held his breath and secretly prayed that the man who was almost insane would not find him.

However, his prayers did not seem to be of much use.

Perhaps it was the frenzied heartbeat that revealed his whereabouts, Simon spun around sharply, as if sensing someone snooping nearby, and his fierce gaze roamed around, and soon he locked onto the house where Lerick was, strode over with his blood-dripping dagger in hand.

Bang ——!

Simon kicked open the door of the house, entered the hall with a terrible wind and rain, sniffed twice, and followed the smell in the direction of the bedroom.

——! spray

The bedroom door collapsed, and in Lerick's frightened eyes, a soaked, bald man appeared in front of him, holding a short sword.

"Hey!"

Seeing Lerick curled up in a ball, Simon's crazy face showed a cruel smile, clenched the blood-stained dagger in his hand, and strode towards him: "Fake, it's all fake......! The ghosts are all dead...... All to death. ”

"Wait!Wait!I'm human! I'm a real person, I don't believe you touch me, I'm warm!" Lerick explained in a panic as he desperately backed away.

"The ghosts are going to die. ”

As if he hadn't heard him at all, Simon stepped forward with one hand, grabbed Lerick's neck with one hand, and lifted him up from the floor. Then, muttering something similar to a dream, he raised his dagger and stabbed it towards the major artery in Lerick's neck.

"Ugh!"

Just as the short sword almost pierced Lerick's skin, Simon's body froze, with a painful expression on his face, and he subconsciously let go of the other party's neck. Immediately after, the short sword in his hand also landed on the floor, and the red blood slid down the blade to the floor, pulling out a long line of blood.

"Whew, whew!"

Lerick, who had survived death, landed and breathed like a dehydrated fish, then struggled to his feet and ran towards the door.

As he ran to the door, Simon's burly body fell to his knees, and the whole house trembled, and then the man reached forward sharply, grabbed Lerick's calf hard, and cried out in pain:

"Kill me! Kill me, or it'll be too late!"

"Get out! let me go!"

At this time, Lerick didn't care about this, and raised his foot and kicked him in the face, kicking Simon's face almost out of shape.

"Kill me!"

The man's twisted face full of pain stared at Lerick tightly, one hand grasping his calf and the other holding his own throat, something seemed to be squirming in his chest.

However, it seems that it is already too late.

"Goo-whoa!"

Simon screamed and opened his mouth, and his upper and lower jaws cracked into an exaggerated shape, forming a bloody fissure.

Immediately after, a white, swollen arm burst out of his mouth and slowly extended outward...... The man's throat was also like an inflated ball, constantly bulging, and the whole person twitched with crazy spasms.

In the process, the man's eyes gradually rolled white, and then he raised his head suddenly, allowing a pale and swollen faceless woman to slowly emerge from his mouth.

“......”

At this moment, in Lerick's eyes, the woman was like a worm that had been breaking out of the chrysalis, tearing Simon's body apart little by little in a twisted and strange posture, and appeared in the dusty old room.

Seeing the woman's exposed internal organs and brains, his pupils contracted into pinpoint points, and his whole body was like falling into an ice cellar, and his whole body was cold—wasn't this the ghost who was walking with black clouds with his hands in chains!?

"Being targeted by this thing has a lower chance of survival than a sniper headshot. At this moment, Lerick recalled what Simon had said earlier.

In this case, I guess I am dead this time.

If you think about it carefully, it's right that ordinary ghosts are already so difficult to deal with, how can such phenomenal ghosts get rid of them by jumping into the river.

Can't escape...... Simon is so strong, it's not like life is worse than death at this time.

“......”

Lerick stiffened in place, watching the ghost look inside out, like a pocket—turning Simon into a terrifying bloody corpse with visceral bones and skin and hair inside.

After breaking away from Simon's body, the puffy and pale woman fell to her knees on the floor and crawled towards Lerick on her knees.

Faced with the terrifying ghost, Lerick's body trembled with fear, his teeth rattled, and his body sat as if petrified, unable to use the strength to escape.

......

The old bedroom was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the blood spread down Simon's corpse.

Little by little, the pale woman crawled towards Leric, and when she was less than a meter away from the other, the man rose from the ground, and in an instant, the fear on his face disappeared without a trace, and he walked straight up to the ghost who was crawling towards him, and grabbed the ghost by the neck with one hand, and lifted her from the floor like a chicken.

"The situation in this world line is much more severe than I imagined. Lerick gripped the ghost's neck and muttered.

In the next moment, a molten golden flame ignited in his eyes, and the voice of his voice also changed to another person's voice:

"Ugly thing, you hurry up and die. ”

"Ahhhh

Under Leric's indifferent gaze, the woman let out a deafening scream, her pale and swollen body suddenly burned, and the ghost twisted and deformed in the flames like a molten wax block, frantically struggling to break free from his grip, but to no avail...... It didn't take long for it to turn into a wisp of green smoke and disappear.

"It's almost at the level of a level 4 dreadbeast, it's not something that a normal person can handle. ”

After eliminating the ghost, 'Lerick' clapped his hands, his brow furrowed, and his expression was solemn.
