Upgrade

"Sizzle--"

The high-speed rotating gears were firmly locked by the whip. Qin Rang his right hand into a claw shape, gathered his strength, and then slammed his fist down with tremendous force onto the Chainsaw.

"Boom!"

The Bloody Chainsaw was sent flying by the force of the impact, leaving a clear dent from Chainsaw.

The Chainsaw, after flying out, spun around against the wall, its gears turning to strike An Ying.

The Bamboo Umbrella spun, shielding An Ying's face, and he gripped the handle to withstand a blow from the Chainsaw.

The Bamboo Umbrella was knocked away. An Ying emerged from under the umbrella and flashed to the side of the Chainsaw. She grabbed the Chainsaw with one hand and, enduring the stinging pain, threw it forcefully at Qin Rang. At the same time, she raised her hand, using energy to pull the flying Bamboo Umbrella handle back into her palm.

"Clang!"

Qin Rang unleashed a flurry of punches, the Evil Ghost Mask's dark blue eyes growing ever brighter, his fists becoming faster and more forceful.

"Clang clang--"

"Zzz--"

The Chainsaw emitted a sharp, mournful cry, and a crack appeared on the metal. Just then, a metal arrow suddenly flew in.

Before it could hit Qin Rang, the arrow was whipped away mid-air by a leather whip.

An Ying found it somewhat inconvenient to move around in the narrow Corridor, but he was able to instantly and keenly lock onto the person who was attacking him.

He was a young man wearing an apron, and the bow and arrow in his hand was a heavy bow, which was inconvenient to move but had great power.

With his intervention, those around him broke free from the paralyzing electric currents continuously released by An Ying, and the Weird Objects in their hands all lunged towards Qin Rang and An Ying.

"Close your eyes," An Ying shouted.

Tao Yuan and the others, still at the top of the stairs, closed their eyes. Even as Wang Ding closed his eyes, his whip still managed to quickly and accurately stop another flying arrow. Tao Yuan even found the person who shot the arrow and attacked without hesitation; this person was someone he had met once before.

Tentacles cautiously emerged from behind her head, and as countless eyes opened, all the Weird Object froze. An Ying threw out her Bamboo Umbrella, which spun around, repelling those holding the Weird Object.

Qin Rang was unaffected by the sight. The Chainsaw had lost its ability to resist in his hands, and the shattered half of his body fell onto the blood on the ground, merging with it.

While the group surrounded the Weird Object, Night Moon went to Wen Keke, who had been silent.

Before Wen Keke Wen Keke speak, her mouth and nose suddenly felt as if they were covered with water. As she lost her ability to breathe, something was frantically drawing moisture from her body.

Night Moon merely raised her hand slightly, and water droplets condensed from her fingertips.

In horror, she pulled the person who had stayed by her side to protect her in front of her. Before that person could even react, all the blood in his body drained away, leaving him lifeless and turning him into a shrunken, dried-up mass of flesh. Without support, he collapsed limply to the ground.

Looking at the enormous blood orb in her hand, Night Moon's lips curled into a mocking smile. With a flick of her finger, the blood orb hurtled towards Wen Keke without hesitation.

"Boom!"

The blood sphere slammed into the wall, leaving a huge crater.

But Wen Keke seen beneath the blood cells.

"As expected, he's hard to kill." Bai Yang watched Night Moon miss without any surprise.

Night Moon was enveloped in water vapor and was about to give chase when a page of a book flew in front of him, stopping him.

Ji Fengbai: [Take care of them first]

Wen Keke escaped, but many people remained. Even without her, they did not abandon her orders.

Night Moon's eyes were gloomy; water droplets transformed into sharp blades, piercing the pages of the book, soaking all the words on them, and then he tossed them aside.

You are ordering me around.

The sharp blades formed by the water flow were aimed at the sick and frail young man sitting in Wheelchair.

Ji Fengbai stared intently at Night Moon, a smile playing on his lips.

Your boss won't like you if you're too easily angered.

Suddenly, Night Moon raised her hand, and a sharp sword flew out towards Ji Fengbai. Ji Fengbai did not dodge at all. Instead, those who took the opportunity to surround him and try to attack him were all blown off their heads by the water.

The headless corpses fell to the ground in unison, splattering blood everywhere and turning the ground red once more. Even the blanket covering Ji Fengbai's legs was splattered with blood, making it hard to say whether he did it intentionally.

The Night Moon beckoned again, and this time, even more blood mixed with water surrounded him.

Wang Ding and Tao Yuan looked at Night Moon in astonishment.

They had never witnessed a murder committed under the Moonlit Night, and even if he disliked it before, he would never have directly taken action to kill someone.

But he acted without hesitation or doubt today; he was like a venomous snake waiting for its chance to strike, delivering a fatal blow with every move.

Even knowing he was only a temporary teammate, I couldn't help but worry about the venomous snake turning on me.

"Stop killing them!" Bai Yang grabbed Night Moon's hand, which was still trying to kill, "These people can still be saved."

A brown Little Bear and a black cat jumped out from behind him and kicked the rest of the people out of the building in a few swift movements.

No Weird Object control lasts very long. If Wen Keke isn't seen for a while, the control effects should weaken, and the controlled person should regain consciousness.

Meanwhile, on An Ying's side, [Eye] finally returned to its body satisfied after devouring several Weird Object brought by others. The out-of-control Chainsaw struggled again, but Qin Rang firmly pressed it down.

At this moment, only a few of them remained on the fifth floor. Only then did Night Moon release her control over the water around her and distance herself from Ji Fengbai.

"Is that all?" Wang Ding put away the whip, tied it back to his waist, pushed up his glasses which were about to fall off his nose, and looked at the Chainsaw that Qin Rang was pressing down on.

Tao Yuan's expression turned solemn. "According to Qin Rang, it will advance further."

"But Wen Keke's people are all gone, and the number of dead and injured is less than half of what Qin Rang said. Will it still advance?"

The Chainsaw on the ground had been completely broken in two by Qin Rang's attack, with black smoke billowing from the gap and occasional flashes of electricity.

Qin Rang and An Ying loosened their grip and retreated to Tao Yuan and the others, away from the Chainsaw. Tao Yuan quickly handed them the generated bubbles to help them recover from their injuries.

"Qin Rang, how was the Chainsaw upgraded?" Wang Ding asked.

"I don't know either. I didn't come with you last time." Qin Rang only heard from Tao Yuan that it would upgrade. Now that Wen Keke's people are gone, he's not sure whether the Chainsaw is dead or accumulating energy to upgrade.

Ji Fengbai stared at the ground beneath the Chainsaw for a few moments, then suddenly turned to meet Night Moon's gaze. After a brief exchange of glances, they tacitly looked away.

The instant Bai Yang looked over, he glanced at the Chainsaw and, seeing the dried blood beneath Chainsaw, his expression hardened. "It seems the upgrade is real."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the broken Chainsaw on the ground suddenly started turning its gears again, producing a low, rumbling noise.

Compared to the previous bright and ear-piercing sound, the Chainsaw now looked exceptionally old and dilapidated, and even the sound was intermittent.

Although all the parts of the Chainsaw had been put back in place, the Chainsaw was covered in cracks and made an uneven noise when it turned.

Amidst the noise, they saw the rust on the Chainsaw growing increasingly bright red, and the blood it absorbed resembled flowing red silk, gradually binding the Chainsaw layer by layer.
