Chapter 25: The Magic Knife
The butcher was furious to the extreme.
Obviously, it has an incomparably large amount of power, but it has let this slippery insect escape from its hands several times.
"I'm going to kill you, tear your body into pieces like the two women before me, and chew it up piece by piece!"
Angry roars echoed through the hallways.
"Ahem—"
As soon as he took two steps, the butcher let out a heart-rending cough.
Blood mixed with fragments of internal organs spilled from its mouth and nose.
On the side of the face covered with skin flakes, the granulations sprout, giving birth to large, disgusting sarcomas covered with yellow tissue fluid.
The terrible plague is on the verge of exhausting its life.
But it didn't realize it, the pain was infinitely weakened in its body, and it now wanted nothing more than to vent the endless anger in its chest.
…
Behind him, footsteps were getting closer.
In this scene in what was like a temple escape game, he didn't even dare to mention the idea of looking back, just desperately fled forward.
"This butcher is much faster than me in a straight-line sprint, he's so big, and his legs are a lot longer than mine."
"If it goes on like this, sooner or later we will be caught up."
"Damn, my breathing is messed up, and I can't organize my spirit to activate my ability in a short period of time, if I can survive this time, I must strengthen my training in this area!"
Zhang Huaisheng felt that his whole body was about to fly, but the distance was still rapidly closing.
He didn't think he was smart, and wanted to sneak around a corner and into the next room - the butcher was not an idiot, although he had no reason to speak of.
This kind of routine that is only good in anime, once applied to reality, is stupid.
The footsteps suddenly stopped, and it was impossible for the butcher not to be aware of what was happening.
It's crazy, but not stupid.
Finally, there was a light ahead.
The corridor has come to an end.
He rushed into the courtyard with one lunge, leaped high in front of the fountain, and after crossing it, rushed into the antechamber in a few steps.
But even if he only glanced at it in a hurry, he still saw clearly that it was placed on the fountain in the middle of the courtyard, and the head of a woman with a resentful face was placed.
It is placed on the top platform of the fountain.
As a result, when the spring water spurted from above, it was stained with a layer of scarlet.
That should be what the nuns call "Mama Alice".
The bone chopping knife that the butcher had held at the beginning was inserted into her headless corpse, splitting her body into sections, and the white bone stubble of the broken section was clearly visible.
"If I get caught, I'm sure I'll end up like her."
In Zhang Huaisheng's heart, fear surged up.
Although he was not a man of great courage, he never considered things that might shake his mind when he was in danger.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to shoot evil spirits in mortal bodies shortly after he came to this world.
But in his previous life, he came from a country where even blood was green, where had he ever seen such a scene?
And at this time.
Great earthquake tremors.
At this time, the butcher was swollen again, ugly and terrifying, comparable to the colossal body of a monster in hell, and stepped into the courtyard.
It took down the bone chopping knife from Mama Alice's corpse, stared at Zhang Huaisheng's back with red eyes, and then threw the bone chopping knife in its hand at Zhang Huaisheng from a distance.
The wind is like electricity.
The edge was still stained with shredded flesh and blood, and the blade cut through the sky.
Zhang Huaisheng subconsciously glanced back, and the fear in his heart instantly swallowed him.
Will die!
Absolutely going to die!
At this moment, time seems to have slowed down.
In his ears, there was a faint sound of chains being broken, followed by a gray aura of death, which quickly expanded from the center of his eyebrows to his whole body.
The world he saw was black and white, and the butcher's colossal body exuded a thick air of death, like a chimney on a port factory.
The bone chopper flying in mid-air showed an extremely slow motion, but when Zhang Huaisheng wanted to dodge, he found that his movements had also slowed down.
"So, it's not that time has slowed down, it's that my consciousness has been accelerated?"
Is it my fear?
I met the criteria for playing as an evil spirit, so my demonic ability to pass through has been enhanced?
Without any hesitation, he directly turned on the power of the evil spirit.
I don't know if it's because of his increased control over his own abilities, or if this form of "slow playback" has no impact on his abilities.
In short, the ability was successfully activated, and his body quickly disappeared.
At the same time, time sped up suddenly.
The butcher's boning knife appeared behind him with a whistling wind, nailed into the floor.
Zhang Huaisheng did not release the ability again, but stayed in the dimensional space, silently watching the stunned and then angry butcher.
It roared wildly, and the next moment, countless scarlet tentacles pierced its skin, swarming out of its abdomen, seven orifices, and chest.
Its steps became extremely heavy, and every time it moved, it had to stop for a long time, and walk towards Zhang Huaisheng step by step—although they were separated by a dimension.
No...
It's not coming towards me.
Zhang Huaisheng could see that the butcher's eyes were staring at the butcher's knife he had thrown.
More and more tentacles sprouted from its surface, like barnacles parasitic on the belly of a giant whale, making the butcher's steps heavier and heavier.
It leaned down with difficulty and picked up the bone chopping knife, with a rare hint of clarity in its eyes.
"You..."
"You goddamn liars."
"I should have known that you weren't giving me anything good."
"Huh."
The corners of its mouth tugged at a mocking smile.
"I won't let you get away with it."
Poof-
The bone chopping knife was stabbed into his chest by it.
Immediately, a horizontal cut cut directly cut its heart in half.
The tentacles on its surface shrank rapidly, neighing as if it were alive, and then, like a fish jumping on the shore, moved more and more slowly until it was completely stiff.
Bang –
The sound of glass shattering rang out.
The tentacles turned into a piece of mustard powder.
After the tentacles shattered, the butcher's body was revealed, which was originally full of fat and strong as a pig's body, but now it was shriveled like air-dried bacon.
Zhang Huaisheng's body reappeared.
There was no happy emotion on his face, and from the words of the butcher's mouth, it could be heard that he had been tricked into this place, and those tentacles, maybe some kind of experiment?
But in any case, there is still a mastermind behind all this.
Zhang Huaisheng suddenly had a pessimistic mood.
I'm just a normal person, I don't want to live in a fight and fight every day, and it's not my war - I'm like an outsider.
He needs a fighting faith, whether it is to defend his family and country, to protect his loved ones, even to protect his own property...
But he has no country, no home, and no money in this world.
The voice of the sub-personality suddenly sounded: "The world is bad for you, right? ”
"Even if he has extraordinary power, he is not the kind of immortal who floats out of the dust and lives forever in myths and legends."
"But even with that power, it's good to have it. If I... Or that the original owner of this body had extraordinary power from the beginning, and he would not have ended up in this step. ”
Zhang Huaisheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "I think, you fell into this field, your own reasons account for the majority, right?" ”
"No one is an unpredictable prophet, and when I was rich, everyone was showing kindness to me, and I saw the world at that time was different from what I saw later."
"So, it's still the most trustworthy power, and it's the only one that no one else can snatch."
"I won't leave."
When the last sentence is spoken, the tone of the sub-personality is obviously a little lonely.
"Okay, don't leave the internet here."
Zhang Huaisheng was angry when he saw him like this.
He went straight to the butcher's corpse, and the symptoms of dander and dark spots caused by the epidemic had gradually subsided.
The bone chopping knife stuck in the butcher's chest was now emitting a faint red light—the knife had drained the butcher of all his extraordinary power.
If the person behind the scenes is using the butcher as a "petri dish" to breed a terrifying monster.
Then all his inputs, at the last moment, were poured into this bone chopping knife by the butcher.
"That's why he ends up saying, 'I'm not going to let you get away with it.'"
Zhang Huaisheng looked at the knife silently, and then, wrapped the red cloth on his face as a mask, wrapped it in his hand, and pulled it off the butcher's body.
At this time, the bone chopping knife, which originally looked a little greasy, had turned into a red jewel-like crystal - but this originally very beautiful red, Zhang Huaisheng could only think of the terrifying tentacles.
