In the dark and damp alley, there was a sound of dog barking.

Two pairs of eyes that were not like humans, flashing coldly like wild beasts, looked at each other.

"He Yao, is it yours?"

Fang Cheng frowned upon hearing this and stared intently at the figure in the darkness.

The weird guy in front of him exudes an indescribable strange aura, like an evil ghost possessing He Yao's body.

Moreover, there is a vaguely familiar feeling.

"He Yao" propped up his head and nodded slowly:

"According to the rules of Hunting, since you know that the prey has Master, you should not continue to hunt and stop it."

He spoke slowly and slowly, and seemed quite old-fashioned, like an elder who had been in a high position for a long time.

Fang Cheng remained calm, continued to hold his fist, and took a step forward.

It seemed that he didn't understand or pay attention to what he was saying.

When "He Yao" saw this, a look of displeasure appeared on his broken face:

"Young man, have you really thought about the price and are you going to Snatching Food from the Tiger's Mouth?"

As he spoke, there was a hint of inviolable majesty.

At the same time, the smell of blood in the air became more pungent, as if the evil spirit had been condensed into substance, spreading around.

Fang Cheng His eyes are sharp and he runs True Qi silently.

The whole body is also accumulating a stormy momentum, ready to launch a violent storm attack at any time to engulf the opponent.

Just when the two sides disagreed, a fight was about to break out.

From Street in the distance, a whine of sirens pierced the night sky.

"He Yao" suddenly sighed:

"We are all of the same kind, why should we kill each other and let those Chaebol and the hunting dogs reap the benefits."

He tilted his mouth and tried his best to smile, but with his facial features swollen and deformed, he looked very penetrating.

Then he continued to preach:

"Speaking of which, I like to support juniors. Your Talent is very good, but you are still too immature. If you are willing to become my teacher, I can guide you in your practice. In the future, you may be able to crush those Noble Clan disciples and Special Search Team and become the number one master of Xia Country."

"How about, as long as you follow me, you can master unimaginable real power. All the power, wealth, treasures and beauties in the world. Whatever you want, you can take it."

He spoke tirelessly, his words full of temptation.

It's just that half of his tongue was broken off, and his voice seemed a little weird and hoarse, which was extremely unpleasant.

Listening to the other party's words trying to win over him, Fang Cheng was silent for a few seconds and shook his head decisively:

"Sorry, I never change my decision after I make it, and..."

Fang Cheng's eyes are blazing, like a red-hot blade by Flames, piercing straight towards the opponent:

"I hate people who hide their heads and tails in front of me the most. If you want me to become your disciple, you should declare yourself first!"

"He Yao" was startled when he heard this, and then sneered:

"Haha, originally I just wanted to find as many clan members as possible..."

He also changed his topic, his eyes glowed with green light, staring closely at the mask on Fang Cheng's face:

"Now, I am becoming more and more interested in you. I really want to peel off your skin and see your true appearance. Young man, I will see you later..."

As he spoke, the two will-o'-the-wisps in his eyes seemed to burn more intensely.

Then, the whole body seemed to be weathered, and the skin and muscles quickly rotted and fell off.

Eventually, even the bones became extremely fragile, as if burning with green phosphorus fire.

With a crash, he completely fell apart and collapsed to the ground.

Fang Cheng quickly stepped forward and looked at He Yao who had turned into a pile of withered bones in the blink of an eye.

His brows couldn't help but frown, and he immediately raised his head to look at the night sky, his eyes suddenly sweeping around.

Apart from the smell of burning flesh floating in the air, no unusual phenomena were captured.

The guy seemed to have found that coercion and inducement didn't work, so he chose to commit suicide.

No.

It should be through some special mental ability that the consciousness can leave He Yao's body and return to its original body.

Fang Cheng took a deep breath and listened to the Dog Bark sounds that sounded from time to time.

He quickly picked up a piece of broken bricks and wrote the words "He Yao" in crooked strokes next to the pile of corpses.

Then he used "Scavenger's Eye" to carefully check the scene, then turned around and stepped forward, quickly disappearing into the dark and deep city night.

Wu'er, Wu'er--

Police sirens blare outside the window and lights flash.

Old Factory Street was extremely noisy in the early morning, and it was difficult to regain peace for a long time.

Fang Cheng lies sideways on the Living Room sofa.

As I closed my eyes and fell asleep, I raised my ears and listened to the sounds downstairs.

This is the home of Zhou Xiumei.

Something so horrific happened at night Murder Case, and the door was kicked in and couldn't be closed.

Zhou Xiumei stayed alone in the house, nervously holding Pistol and pointing it at the door, waiting silently.

It wasn't until I saw Fang Cheng coming back that I breathed a sigh of relief, and my whole person suddenly seemed to have a backbone.

Fang Cheng saw this and comforted her a few words, letting her go back to the bedroom to sleep peacefully.

I slept in Living Room and stayed outside to avoid another accident.

At this moment, my mind is racing with thoughts, looking at Prompt Information emerging from Panel.

[Boxing Experience+18]

[Sanda Experience+13]

[Jujutsu Experience+16]

[Qi Gong Experience+9]

What happened tonight was quite bizarre.

He Yao, a former neighbor who lived in the same building, actually resurrected after death and turned into a man-eating monster.

In order to eliminate Danger, a fierce battle broke out between himself and this monster.

Therefore, the harvested Combat Skill Experience is still second.

The key is that I met another mysterious weirdo who called himself the same kind of person.

Fang Cheng was quite speechless about this and found it difficult to let go.

And when I think about it carefully, there is always an unusually familiar feeling.

It seems... that he has a lot in common with the guy who sent Postcard to him.

The same eyes glowing green, the same hidden head and tail, showing a mysterious character.

Thinking of this, Fang Cheng couldn't help but feel touched.

Think about it for a moment, then collect your thoughts, concentrate and calm down, and enter the Meditation state.

After Entering Samadhi was ready, his lips moved slightly and he recited the Incantation password used to contact the other party.

Soon, the surrounding scene changed and fell into complete darkness.

Accompanied by countless noises, they surged in like waves and receded one after another.

Fang Cheng opened his eyes and looked ahead at Black Mist, which enveloped the entire city.

Then find the target that is hidden and shining, push open the door with ease, and step in.

What came into view was still a dark, seemingly empty room.

It was exactly the same as the last time I visited.

However.

This time, before Fang Cheng could say hello to Master, a soft and cold voice sounded first.

"Are you a night owl? You come to me so late."

A man calling himself "Smiling Devil" faintly emerged from the darkness.

The figure is still shrouded in hazy green light and appears blurry, as if it is in Mist.

"Aren't you used to being active in the early hours of the morning?"

Fang Cheng asked indifferently, without any apology for disturbing her late at night.

"That's just occasionally, I'm pretty normal most of the time!"

Smiling Devil suddenly sounded bad and emphasized:

"And it's already past two o'clock now. If I don't seize the time to catch up on sleep, will I still have mental work tomorrow?"

After explaining, he then asked a little strangely:

"Why are you looking for me so proactively this time? Are you feeling guilty about leaving without saying goodbye last time and are you ready to apologize to me?"

Fang Cheng did not answer immediately. He was silent for a moment and then said in a deep voice:

"When you were at Meditation tonight, did you use your mental abilities to try to attack me from a distance?"

"What?"

Hearing this, Smiling Devil seemed to widen his eyes and was very surprised.

After being stunned for a few seconds, he burst out laughing:

"I really have this idea, but it's a pity that I haven't had time to implement it yet!"

There is no mistake, every song is published and every content is read one by one!

"Damn it, I was overtaken by someone again. Are you so lovable..."

Smiling Devil laughed and complained.

It seems that Fang Cheng is very upset because he failed to take action immediately, and now Fang Cheng is prepared in advance.

Fang Cheng was silent and floating quietly in the dark room.

At this moment, he was in Lamp Flame, also shrouded in a circle of orange-red light, showing only a hazy figure without any facial expression.

Smiling Devil's laughter echoed in the chat room for a long time before it calmed down.

Seeing that Fang Cheng remained calm, he finally couldn't help but be curious and asked:

"Tell me what happened to you. Maybe I can help you answer your questions."

Fang Cheng originally had no intention of showing off, so he thought about it a little and said calmly:

"Just now, I met a guy who looks very similar to you..."

Then he told the other party the strange thing that happened tonight without much concealment.

Of course, the part involving Zhou Xiumei was deliberately ignored.

"Eh--"

Smiling Devil seemed very surprised after hearing this and couldn't help but smacked his lips:

"That Old Ghost let you go so easily..."

"You know him?"

Fang Cheng's heart moved and she looked at him expectantly.

Smiling Devil shook his head:

"I've never even heard his voice, how could I possibly recognize him."

Then, he explained:

"What I mean is that as a Ghoul Leader, that old guy actually gave up his control to a low-level Ghoul so easily. It's not like their usual cruel and greedy behavior."

"Ghoul? Isn't it Zombie?"

Fang Cheng was a little surprised when he heard this, but it was expected.

After all, with the crazy look He Yao showed, there was no way he could continue to be treated as a human being.

If not an evil ghost, what else could it be?

"It doesn't matter if you want to call them Zombie, it's just a conventional name."

Smiling Devil doesn't seem to care much about this problem.

It seems that he is still thinking about what made Ghoul Leader, who is known for his gluttony, take the initiative to give up and give up his own food.

Fang Cheng thought about it for a while and asked further:

"What kind of monster is Ghoul? What kind of Special Abilities are there specifically? Could it be that they were transformed into humans like Zombie in the movie?"

"You don't even know this?"

Smiling Devil suddenly screamed strangely and looked even more surprised:

"It turns out that you are really a rookie. You are obviously very strong, but you don't know anything. You don't know how your father taught you. You are so lucky to have survived until now at such a young age and not been arrested by Special Search Team to become Human Experimentation."

"So, I told you, you have to communicate with similar people more often, otherwise when you meet Danger, you won't even know how you died..."

Before Fang Cheng could frown, he was ready to use some means.

This guy stopped chattering like an elder, and then said:

"Okay, it's rare for me to be a teacher today, just to repay the favor you gave me last time for telling me how to control my consciousness."

"Do you know what the outside world calls us humans who are different from ordinary people?"

Smiling Devil's tone became solemn. First he asked a question specifically, and then he quickly answered:

"Monster, Aberrant, Demon, Monster, evil spirit, no matter what they are, they are actually very general and discriminatory names."

"If we follow Official Authorities's most formal statement, all humans who are not from the Noble Clan but possess Supernatural abilities are monsters. They can be divided into five categories."

"That is, Ghoul, Werewolf, Blood Clan, Mermaid, and Demon Beast that cannot be completely classified."

In the dark and silent chat room, two glowing figures looked at each other.

A cold voice floated faintly, constantly telling secret things that ordinary people could not know.

In this seemingly ordinary world, there are dark corners belonging to monsters.

From ancient times to the present, from the Primitive Tribe to the civilized era, Extraordinary Power has always existed and has never disappeared.

They mix among the crowd and live in a society with ordinary people.

It can be said that humans with Supernatural abilities are also a branch of human evolution.

As for why they eat the same kind?

Naturally it was due to lack of food.

If you want to gain enough strength, the energy drawn from low-grade food will definitely not be able to meet the body's needs.

During the process of evolution, food intake of at least the same level is required to maintain physiological functions and ensure that there is no loss of strength due to physical weakness.

There is no doubt that the human body is richer in nutrients.

So just like the prehistoric Neanderthals, driven by their hunger instinct, they developed an uncontrollable desire to eat people and became Predator.

However, those Noble Clan were lucky enough to master some mysterious power and were able to successfully get rid of their status as monsters.

They rely on the power of Supernatural and pass it on from generation to generation. Blood Vessels is noble, upright and at the top of society.

But other Predator are subject to various restrictions and can only become secret taboos and choose to hide in the darkness.

Correspondingly, there have been Official Organization similar to Special Search Team in all dynasties, who are responsible for exterminating man-eating monsters.

As for Special Abilities, a monster like Ghoul.

In the words of Smiling Devil.

Ordinary Ghoul generally have faster speed and strength than ordinary people, and also have a certain degree of recovery ability, and their claws and teeth are very sharp.

With continued evolution, each ability will be greatly improved.

Some tongues can be spit out and used as weapons. What's more, they can control corpses and transform.

As for Ghoul Leader, in addition to the basic ability of controlling low-level Ghoul, each has some Special Abilities that outsiders cannot know.

In addition, they also have a fatal weakness.

They can only go out at night, because moving in the sun will accelerate the decomposition of their bodies.

Xia Country In ancient times, there were some ancient books similar to Six Dynasties Strange Tales, and rumors about Ghoul were also recorded.

It is believed that this kind of monster was first introduced to the Central Plains from Western Regions along with Buddhism, and then gradually spread.

After listening to the story, Fang Cheng finally understood.

It turns out that this is the reason why the murderer in front of me and the Ghoul regard themselves as the same kind.

After knowing the truth of the matter, I couldn't help but feel much more relaxed, so I asked casually:

"What type of monster do you think I am?"

"Aren't you just like me?"

Smiling Devil was a little surprised when he heard this.

Then he let out a sigh of Vocal Cords with a hint of envy:

"Your family has produced several famous murderers. It is really rare for your generation to be able to remain safe and sound even after Awakening's abilities."
