Hmm?
Holy... shit!
Jiang Qiao's expression changed.
He had originally thought this was merely an enhanced version of a "Supernatural Chef," capable of perfectly absorbing Ghost Qi.
He hadn't expected it to be able to fuse with Rule-based Supernatural Entities!
And this time, he had also used the "Cold-blooded and Selfish" talent. Wouldn't that mean—
Jiang Qiao silently lit a cigarette.
His instincts told him that something huge was about to happen!
[Day Three. You fused with a large number of Rule-based Anomalies and obtained a large number of killing rules. Knocking on doors could kill people. Stepping on footprints could kill people. If you became a deliveryman, the food containers you delivered could kill people. Even coughing twice in front of you would trigger your killing rule. But your consciousness began to grow hazy, and all sorts of memories appeared in your mind. There was a teacher abusing a student. There was a child searching for their parents. There was a merchant spitting into a food container. There was an online ride-hailing driver dying suddenly in the night. ... All the memories merged into your mind, and you began to forget who you were. What was your name? Jiang Qiao? Wang Yue? Zhou Jianming? Never mind! Kill! Kill! Kill! You had to become stronger!] [Day Four. Countless pale figures clung to your body, overlapping one another, their faces wearing stiff, eerie smiles. You brought them with you and slaughtered your way out of the North City District, where you discovered a faceless Vicious Ghost knocking on a door. You charged forward, tore off his smooth face, and seized the "Missing Face Notice." You were afflicted by the Braided Girl's curse, but you didn't care in the slightest. You slaughtered your way straight into the South City District. You found the Braided Girl near the library. You engaged her in a fierce battle. Soon, you discovered that the rules of the supernatural entities were useless against Vicious Ghosts. But she was likewise unable to kill you. Every time you died, you revived on the spot. You tried to fuse with the Braided Girl but failed. However, the Braided Girl no longer entangled herself with you. She chose to leave. Meanwhile, you captured many Vicious Ghosts on the street.] [Day Five. You released all the Vicious Ghosts into the Bin City Shelter Camp. In an instant, slaughter became the only thing in the area. Your strength grew rapidly once again. In the end, you killed all the Vicious Ghosts. At that moment, the ground was covered in piles of white bones. The resentment of the Vicious Ghosts and humans intertwined, seemingly nurturing something. You ignored it and let it continue to gestate. Your "Lightning Thunder Fist" and "Invincible Body" both broke through to the Fourth Order. Apart from "Dual Pupils," all your other talents broke through to the Third Tier.] [Day Six. You discovered a powerful female Awakened in Bin City. You severely wounded her and let the Vicious Ghosts eat her.]
"This talent has gone out of control."
Jiang Qiao's eyes followed the words on the panel as they continued to move.
After fusing with the supernatural entities, even the Braided Girl could no longer do anything to him.
Although his strength was weak and he couldn't injure the Braided Girl, she likewise couldn't kill him. In the end, she had withdrawn on her own.
And then there were his other talents. At this rate of improvement, they had reached the Fourth Order by the sixth day!
It was truly terrifying.
No wonder strength skyrocketed whenever someone underwent Demonization in novels and movies.
[Day Seven. You found the Human Head Lanterns in Bin City and fused them into your body. Your head could now leave your body and fly freely. You arrived at the hospital. By then, the Pregnant Female Ghost's strength had reached the Third Tier, and she was continuously nurturing Vicious Ghosts. You fused her into your body. Your belly began to swell, and you could control the Ghost Infants. You didn't control them. Instead, you fused all of them into your body. You were now surrounded by Rule-based Anomalies and Vicious Ghosts. They compressed against one another, like a disgusting Big Meatball. And you were in the middle of the meatball.] [Day Eight. You shook the Fate Dice every moment of every day. Whether the result was one or six, it could rapidly increase your strength. Soon, apart from Dual Pupils, all your other talents had reached the Fourth Order.] [Day Nine. You found a group of Paper People, tore them apart, and used them to start a fire. You saw a twisted face in the void, but it triggered your supernatural rule—after staring deathly at you, it blinked. You heard a terrifying scream. The human face disappeared.] [Day Ten. You charged into the wilderness and found a forest of white bones. The fruits on the Bone Trees had ripened. You discovered that eating them actually helped increase your strength! Because you had fused with so many Vicious Ghosts, their improvement was your improvement! Your Lightning Thunder Fist broke through to the Fifth Tier! A crippled Thunder Spirit was born inside your body, but it wasn't purple. It was blood-red.] [Day Eleven. You headed toward An City. On the way, you passed through Jieqiao Town, where you swallowed the Little Monk and obtained the ability to consecrate objects. But the golden light had turned into blood light. Anything you consecrated would become tainted with ominousness and misfortune.] [Day Twelve. On the expressway, you saw bloody tumors constantly writhing and swelling. You charged forward and swept over them with lightning. They swallowed you several times, but you revived instantly each time. In the end, thanks to your endless extra lives, you destroyed all the tumors and found a crippled doll inside them. You swallowed it. You, who had originally resembled a gigantic Big Meatball, changed once again. Your body began to rot. Large numbers of proliferating blood vessels spread across your skin, covering your body like a spiderweb. Your mouth turned into an insect-like maw. Your left eye disappeared, while your right eye became a bulging eyeball the size of a soccer ball. Blood, mucus, and Corpse Water spilled across the ground as you moved.]
[...]
[Day Seventeen. You arrived outside An City, causing enormous panic. Cannons, machine guns, missiles, aircraft... Large quantities of heavy weaponry launched a saturation attack against you, but it was completely useless. Hundreds of Awakened charged at you, only to become your dinner. Suddenly, large amounts of blood burst from your body. Each drop of blood transformed into a Vicious Ghost you had once fused with. Tens of thousands of Vicious Ghosts rushed toward An City. You consecrated An City, and the eerie rules of the supernatural entities enveloped the entire city along with the blood light. Some people died because they stepped out with their left foot first. Some people died because they spoke too loudly. Some people died because someone else called them and they ignored it. ... Under such a vast number of rules, even breathing became a mistake.] [Day Eighteen. All of An City had become desolate. Apart from the stench of decay and resentment, it was so empty that not even a single white bone remained. Your strength surged once again. Apart from Dual Pupils, all your skills had reached the Fifth Tier!]
Hiss—
That was insanely awesome!
He had completely entered the Fifth Tier on the fourteenth day. Could anyone believe that?
And after fusing with the supernatural entities, not only could he no longer die, he could also spread a vast number of killing rules across a large area.
It was simply terrifying!
The price, however, was the loss of all independent consciousness, leaving behind only the desire to become stronger.
He was basically no longer human!
But speaking of which, An City had actually possessed hundreds of Awakened only a dozen or so days after the Supernatural Revival. Who knew how many more would be born later?
No wonder it could stand firm this whole time.
And the bloody tumors had been nurturing a doll!
After he fused with it, his body had changed directly.
He had no idea what strange path this doll had taken.
Jiang Qiao remembered a previous simulation. When he had reached the expressway in the later stages, he had seen that the tumors had disappeared.
He didn't know whether the doll had finished gestating.
Before you continue
