Suppression

Facing possession once again,

This was all Luo Di could think of, and the only thing he could do.

Injecting corpse poison through a bite would cause the least harm to the class monitor, reach the artery directly, and take effect the fastest.

Only after confirming that the zombie fangs' secretion had stopped the wound from bleeding did Luo Di let go.

All that remained was to wait for the result.

Over the past half year of practice, he had long considered the class monitor a friend and deeply acknowledged her strength. In his eyes, her willpower was absolutely formidable. She would definitely break free.

"What did you do!?"

Just as the Spider Woman possessing the class monitor's body was about to resist, she suddenly felt a violent tremor ripple through her thoughts.

The tremor spread through her entire body along her nerves.

A tremendous force rose in her stomach, as if it were about to twist her into a dried corpse.

She vomited.

"Bleurgh!"

Black, foul-smelling filth gushed from the class monitor's mouth, more than she would normally eat in a day, mixed with countless spider corpses.

The possession was interrupted!

At that moment,

the paper figures in the hall split apart one after another. All the spiders inside crawled out and converged on the vomit, gradually forming the Spider Woman's true body.

But while her body was still taking shape, a sinister blade was already slashing down.

The still-unformed body was struck in the head, and corpse poison immediately began eroding the Pituitary Gland hidden inside.

"Ahhhhh!!!!"

The woman's scream echoed throughout the wedding hall. The space trembled with it, and a distinct "spatial fissure," unrelated to the building's structure, appeared at the main entrance.

Naturally, Luo Di would not miss this chance to escape.

Killing a Pseudo-Human's true body within a Corner Space was far too difficult. Besides, the class monitor was still unconscious. Escaping and contacting the investigators was the best option.

By the time the spider swarm gathered again and repaired the wound in its head, the wedding hall was already empty.

"I won't let you escape!"

The woman's limbs rapidly stretched to twice their original length, while her mouth split open into a huge maw filled with spider-like fangs. She gave chase at top speed.

The stairwell.

Luo Di carried the class monitor, still dressed as a bride, over his shoulder and sprinted downstairs. They were no longer trapped in the endlessly looping stairwell.

After breaking through the cordon set up on the first floor and stepping out of the old building,

Boom! A deafening crash sounded overhead as bricks and roof tiles came raining down. Fortunately, Luo Di had already carried the class monitor some distance away.

Only a few small fragments struck the class monitor, and they happened to wake her up early.

As her vision gradually cleared, she first saw the paving stones rushing past beneath her, allowing her to determine that they had already escaped the building.

She did not panic or lose her head.

Nor did she immediately ask Luo Di what had happened.

Knowing that they had escaped was enough.

"Luo Di, put me down—"

Before she could finish, the class monitor was thrown down and nearly hit the ground.

Luo Di knew very well what that sound had meant. The Pseudo-Human had smashed through the stairwell wall and jumped down. Any hesitation would let it catch up.

Now that the class monitor was awake, things would be easier.

"I'll hold this thing back. Class monitor, hurry and find a way to contact the investigators... You can still run, right?"

"Mm!"

The class monitor had no intention of staying behind to fight with him. She had just escaped possession, was weak, and had no weapon. Staying would only make her a burden.

She sprinted toward the residential complex's exit with the speed she used in Physical Education Class. As she ran, she began shouting for help, hoping her cries would overpower the torrential rain and wake the residents.

Even if they could not hear her, she would reach the street as quickly as possible and stop a passing vehicle.

"Don't even think about leaving!"

The Spider Woman, who had leaped down from the third floor, landed steadily. Her limbs moved at an astonishing speed; it would take her less than five seconds to catch the class monitor.

The skin had already vanished from her face. The corner fissure in the middle was nearly splitting apart with rage, and it seemed to be packed with spider-like compound eyes.

As she rapidly crawled after the class monitor's escape route,

a blade carrying immense pressure slashed in from the side. Even the pounding raindrops were cut apart by its edge.

Slash~

Several drops of blood mixed with the rain and flowed together toward the drain.

It hit.

But it only cut three centimeters deep. The woman's spider-like nature had allowed her to evade effectively at the critical moment.

Her body had been wounded, and the corpse poison brought intense, corroding pain. On top of that, the entire wedding ritual had been ruined by this young man. Hatred surged through her.

The Spider Woman could no longer think rationally. The negative emotions piled up in her mind had long exceeded their limit, and the urge to kill this young man took over everything.

In her view, if she killed him quickly, she would still have time to chase after the other one.

Having lost the two heads at the end of her body, the woman could only spit hair-like spider silk from her mouth.

There was not much of it. At most, the black hair could split into four strands.

He slashed.

Luo Di, completely focused, was still in peak condition. The torrential rain did not disrupt his vision.

Slash! With just two strikes, he cut apart the black hair shooting toward him.

But the black hair was merely a distraction.

The instant he cut it apart, the woman had already closed in before him.

Crack~ Her arm joints popped.

Her fingers were twice as long as an ordinary person's, just like her arms, and her nails were even sharper.

Her five fingers closed together.

Like a piercing spear, they shot toward the young man's head. If they hit, his entire head would be pierced through.

Faced with the danger of death, Luo Di showed no intention of retreating. His eyes widened as he slashed again!

The blade collided with her fingers.

Clang!

The sound of metal striking metal rang out.

The Zombie Blade unexpectedly flew from his grip, soaring high into the air before landing in the residential complex's greenbelt over ten meters away.

Luo Di looked at his constantly trembling hand, his expression grave. "Is this the strength of a true Pseudo-Human?"

However, the Spider Woman was not having an easy time either. Two of her fingers had been severed in that collision. The agonizing pain made her scream madly, drowning out the rain and echoing throughout the complex.

She did not stop attacking. Her other hand was already poised to strike.

Whoosh!

Her arm swung, and an even fiercer piercing attack came again.

This time,

Luo Di had no weapon left to fight with.

He stood frozen in place, seeming not to have recovered from the previous impact. He showed no intention of dodging at all.

Yet Luo Di's gaze was exceptionally clear, as if he had seen through the path of her attack.

Slash~ Flesh was pierced.

But the blood mixing with the rain was an unusual black.

What the Spider Woman pierced was not Luo Di's head, but his right palm, which had blocked the attack midway.

More precisely, it was a palm undergoing Zombie Transformation. The zombie's hardening effect seemed to have carried over as well.

"Ah!"

The woman swung her right arm again, the one that had just lost two fingers.

Luo Di decisively raised his other palm as well. Slash! His palm was slightly pierced, but not penetrated.

A fierce glint flashed through Luo Di's bloodshot eyes.

Ignoring the pain of his pierced palms, he suddenly pressed down with all ten fingers. His zombie nails dug into the back of her hands, firmly grabbing both of the Spider Woman's hands and ensuring she could not pull her arms back.

Before she could lift a leg to attack or spray spider silk,

veins bulged across Luo Di's forehead. He gritted his teeth and unleashed the greatest strength he possessed! Strength built through doing more than a thousand push-ups every day for so long, along with all kinds of Physical Education Class training.

Although the Spider Woman displayed Phobia-concretization and could construct a Corner Space, she still fell within the bounds of humanity. She weighed no more than seventy kilograms.

Luo Di planted his right foot and twisted at the waist and back.

Like throwing a hammer, he spun his body a full 360 degrees and hurled the woman away with the power of his entire body.

Bang!

Under the night sky,

the humanoid spider was thrown over four meters and slammed heavily into a metal streetlamp. The sound of bones breaking could even be heard.

The instant he completed the throw, Luo Di completely ignored his pierced palms and decisively ran toward the greenbelt, wanting to retrieve his weapon.

Just as he was about to grab the hilt... Whoosh! A strand of black hair wrapped around the blade, and in the next second, it was in the woman's hand.

"What!?"

His weapon had been taken.

Luo Di's current physical condition was certainly no match for hers, and the same trick could never work twice. He could not fight her head-on.

Adrenaline surged wildly, urging him to run at full speed, survive as long as possible, and buy time for rescue.

But just as he was about to take his first step, the Spider Woman had already caught up behind him.

At that critical moment,

a metal trash can suddenly flew over and struck the Spider Woman squarely in the head. Household garbage mixed with rainwater spilled across the woman's face, interfering with her.

The class monitor's shout carried through the rain:

"Luo Di, get out of there!!"

Luo Di did not need the class monitor's warning. He had already run the instant it happened.

The Spider Woman frantically pushed aside the garbage. Just as she was about to give chase...

Buzzz!

Buzzz!

Buzzz!

Some kind of alarm sounded overhead. Every resident in the complex was awakened. Furniture of all kinds trembled under the sound, and birds inside people's homes began chirping as well.

Crack~

A special lighting system descended from above.

Intense deep-red light came down in the form of a rectangular frame, enclosing the Spider Woman precisely within it.

Warnings in five languages appeared around the frame.

They prohibited all non-target personnel from approaching and warned all non-target humans that the area within the frame was extremely dangerous.

The intense red light instantly overwhelmed the streetlamps in the complex. Even the surrounding streets were bathed in its glow and dyed red.

The Spider Woman had no time to escape.

Slash!

Five slender, pitch-black pillars descended from the sky.

Crack~

They instantly pierced the woman's spine and limbs, pinning her to the ground.

Immediately afterward, a military helicopter with a circle and the letter I painted on its side appeared in the night sky and slowly descended.
