"This... what is going on?"
The big-headed kid in red who had mocked before spoke again, but his tone was dry and full of disbelief.
It didn't even notice that there was a bit of tremor in its dry voice.
Old Woman and the others were also staring at the charred pit, their faces full of surprise.
Although several of them are somewhat different from Senba Sakuraori.
But in any case, even if Senba Sakuraori is useless, it is still the same as them, it is a high-level Yin Beast that can transform into a human form.
Moreover, the other party serves as the supervisor of Slaughter Day within Shenmu City.
His own strength can even be said to be at the top among the high-level Yin Beast.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the other party to get this kind of thing.
After all, the large amount of Yin Energy produced in Slaughter Day is also a good supplement for advanced Yin Beast.
But at this moment, Senba Sakuraori, as a high-level Yin Beast, was burned alive by the golden flames in front of everyone without any warning. It was really weird.
Recalling Senba Sakuraori's mutterings before it died, it was obvious that it all originated from the mysterious Anomalous One-like young man holding Black Banner in its mouth.
It was only then that everyone finally believed that the young man the other party was talking about might really be something special.
In fact, it's no wonder they reacted like this. As one of the few people in the world who can transform into a human being, Yin Beast has the same intelligence as a human being.
For thousands of years since their birth, in their eyes, humans are just a group of livestock that can be slaughtered at will, no, not even as good as livestock.
They hide behind the scenes, controlling the trajectory of human development, and their shadows are behind many major events.
They consider themselves to be the masters of this world and aloof gods.
But now, someone told them that these livestock-like humans can actually kill "gods".
How is this possible?
However, the facts are right in front of them, and even if they don't want to believe it, they can only accept it.
"What do you think we should do?"
The beautiful woman named San Hui broke the silence and looked at the remaining five people present with her beautiful eyes.
Hear the words.
Everyone couldn't help but fall into silence.
This method is too weird.
Yin Energy not only failed to extinguish the flame, but actually increased its power, which was simply unheard of.
Put yourself in their shoes.
If they encounter each other, they may not be much better than the other party.
Anyone who can survive this long is not a fool.
No one spoke for a while, thinking that this was the first person.
Just when San Hui frowned slightly and was about to say something else.
"In this matter, we can send humans to test it first. If it doesn't work, we can use that big killer weapon!"
At this time, the old man in a suit with a goatee beside him spoke.
There are actually four eyes hidden under his forehead and face. At first glance, it makes people's scalp numb.
"Oh? You mean that thing?!"
San Hui's eyes moved.
It seemed like he had thought of something.
"Yes, although these humans are weak, I have to say that they do have some merits!"
Goatee Old Man smiled.
"If that's the case, then let's do it!"
The beautiful woman named San Hui nodded.
As time goes by.
Two days flew by in a blink of an eye.
Shenmu City.
The rain has stopped though.
But the sky was still gloomy.
The clouds were silted up and hung down heavily, like cotton wool soaked with sewage, ready to burst into black pus at any time.
Slaughter Day, it ended one day ago.
The reason was that it was forcefully stopped by the authorities.
for this situation.
Some are happy and some are sad.
Those who are happy naturally refer to those who have grabbed enough money and received benefits.
And most of the remaining people are not benefiting from it.
Or because this sudden order disrupted their plans.
However, these thugs are helpless in the face of the official power of the world.
After all, with the weapons in their hands, there are so many people.
Facing the regular army of this world, they are as vulnerable as a chicken or a dog.
Once you resist, you will be erased from the physical plane.
after all.
Each of these gun-wielding thugs who entered Shenmu City can be said to be a murderer with bloody hands.
According to the law, he can be shot directly.
and.
during this time.
A piece of information about Hu Qi appeared on the news in this world.
It is described as a monster in human skin.
Holding Black Banner.
Take pleasure in sucking people's souls.
The true public enemy of mankind.
If you can successfully kill it, you will receive extremely generous rewards, including but not limited to huge wealth and power.
After learning the news.
The eyes of some thugs who were originally resentful because Slaughter Day ended early suddenly shone with light.
Why did they venture into Shenmu City? Of course it was for money.
Now as long as you kill this person, you can get a more generous reward. How can you not be tempted?
As for monsters.
They didn't believe it at all.
Moreover, so what if the other person is a monster, there is nothing more terrifying in the world than poverty.
In their view, no matter how powerful and weird the opponent is, they are still carbon-based creatures.
As long as they are carbon-based organisms, they will succumb to thermal weapons.
At this moment, Shenmu City is in a certain area.
Lead clouds hang low and the sky is dark.
A middle school stands alone on the ground.
The surroundings were silent and desolate.
Because of Slaughter Day.
The campus in Shenmu City had been cleared half a month ago.
Some of the students also left early for the holidays.
Judging from the situation of Slaughter Day in previous years, places like schools generally rarely suffer any damage.
After all, it is impossible for thugs to waste gunpowder on such a useless and unprofitable place.
But the middle school in front of me became an exception that broke the rules.
In the school square.
A tattered white flag swayed feebly in the wind, and a bleeding corpse was hung high on it, with the flagpole piercing the body.
This is a bald man covered in tattoos. His eyes are wide open, and the gray sky is reflected in his dead pupils.
There was a deep sense of fear left in it.
It was as if something extremely terrifying had happened before his death.
Blood beads continued to fall along the clothes of the corpse.
With a "tick" sound, tiny ripples splashed in the turbid water, spreading out circles of bloody lines.
And inside the campus, there were corpses scattered everywhere, nearly a thousand in number.
They had different postures, and some of their limbs were broken in an almost weirdly twisted posture.
Some faces were severely damaged and have been completely changed beyond recognition, while some only had a small half of their bodies left.
This kind of injury does not look like man-made, but more like being caused by being hit by a moving vehicle.
Blood flowed freely, dyeing the ground a shocking dark red, and the strong smell of blood filled the air.
The originally brand-new campus is now in ruins.
Bricks and rubble were scattered all over the place.
However, amidst this mess, only one teaching building was miraculously preserved, looking out of place among the ruins.
On the rooftop of the teaching building, Hu Qi sat cross-legged with a calm expression.
In front of me, the Black Banner flag planted on the ground was constantly fluttering, making a "rustling" sound.
A thick black mist lingered above it.
These corpses lying around the campus are none other than others.
They are all people who have been trying to surround and kill Hu Qi in recent days.
Among them are Intern Reader, Yin Beast, and even ordinary humans in this world.
The purposes of encircling and suppressing Hu Qi are also different.
It's a pity, no matter who it is.
In the end, no one could leave here alive, without exception.
After all, if you have the thought of killing, you must have the consciousness of being killed.
In situ.
Hu Qi frowned slightly.
He originally thought that the Yin Beast side would definitely send a more powerful Yin Beast to kill him.
But what was waiting was just a group of weak minions.
Those high-level Yin Beast, whose spiritual wisdom has been opened, have become as timid as mice since they witnessed the fall of Senba Sakuraori, and they have hidden themselves away, not daring to show their faces again.
Among these incoming Yin Beast, the strongest one is only the intermediate Yin Beast.
What's even more ridiculous is that some of them Yin Beast's bodies were stuffed with high explosives, obviously with the idea of dying with him.
Unfortunately, such behavior is of no use at all.
At this time.
Hu Qi suddenly snorted coldly.
In an instant, several drones that were secretly filming exploded in mid-air, turning into Mars all over the sky, with fragments flying everywhere.
As for the secret cameras in some further places, Hu Qi did not move.
After doing all this.
Hu Qi clearly noticed that all kinds of panic and fearful emotions were coming from all directions like a tidal wave.
A steady stream of energy was poured into the broken Black Banner in his hand.
These all come from the Yin Beast in this world and the fear that humans have when they see this scene.
These emotions pass through the Mind Realm in this world and are continuously absorbed by Tattered Black Banner.
"What kind of monster is this?"
In cities other than Shenmu City, everyone is staring at the pictures on the screen through various devices such as mobile phones, TVs, and computers.
At this moment, where Hu Qi is, this scene is being shown on the Internet in the form of a live broadcast. There are hundreds of millions of people online, and almost everyone who has free time is attracted here.
The numbers are still climbing at an alarming rate, and nearly everyone who has taken a break from work is watching.
Originally for the situation here.
The higher-ups are prepared to cover it up and are not prepared to let ordinary people know.
But for some reason, this live broadcast suddenly appeared online.
Even after the official took action, it still couldn't be closed, so the situation here could only be made public.
However, they have altered some of the content.
Portraying Hu Qi as a complete monster.
now.
Because all electronic equipment within a kilometer of the center of the battlefield was destroyed.
Drones can only rely on peripheral cameras for long-distance shooting.
The dim sky casts a hazy shadow on the picture, but this does not weaken the sense of oppression brought by the figure in the picture.
It felt like a biting chill was spreading through the screen.
This fear stems from a series of shocking images over the past two days or so.
Hundreds of millions of people witnessed scenes beyond imagination.
That ignores thermal weapons, bombs, that kind of weird means that can destroy a tall building casually.
What is even more frightening is all the people trying to encircle and suppress the other party.
No one made it out alive.
In addition, there is one more thing.
They discovered that apart from Black Banner Youth, some of the people who were encircling and suppressing the opponent also had incredible and inhuman means.
There are also some scary and strange-looking monsters, such as a black dog with blood-colored eyes all over its body, a giant insect the size of a house, etc.
These pictures completely subverted everyone's perception.
In the past, this could only be seen in fantasy works such as movies and animations, but now it has actually appeared in reality.
Only at this moment did these people truly understand why the authorities urgently stopped "Slaughter Day".
But looking at the demon-like figure in the live broadcast, a desperate question emerged in everyone's mind.
"Can such a being really be defeated?"
In a hidden safe house somewhere.
Vera and Zhou Zhipeng stared closely at the real-time broadcast on the computer, their expressions were indescribably complicated.
At this moment, the two of them had already left Shenmu City.
Hidden in a surrounding city.
The cold light of the screen in front of them casts changing shadows on their faces, just like their turbulent moods at the moment.
"What exactly does the boss want to do? And what's going on with those Intern Reader and Yin Beast..."
Vera looked complicated.
It's not like she hasn't thought about the power of Hu Qi.
But what she saw now was far beyond her imagination.
She didn't understand how Intern Reader with such strength could join them on such a mission?
Is there something wrong with the so-called Reincarnation Book House? Is this fair?
Of course, she only dared to complain about this in her heart.
besides.
What made her even more uneasy was that she could clearly identify many Intern Reader figures among those who were encircling and suppressing them.
Their unique fighting style stands out among ordinary people.
"I don't know, but based on my guess.
It's very possible that there are changes that we don't know about.
For example, these Intern Reader and Main Quest have changed for some reasons, such as killing the boss.
Only in this way can we understand why these people are so desperate.
As for why we didn't receive the mission, maybe it's because we are in the same team as the boss.
However, no matter what, what we have to do now is to spend the thirty days honestly, and we don't have to worry about anything else. "
Zhou Zhipeng on the side was silent for a moment before saying.
Said here.
There was a hint of joy in his tone.
Hear Zhou Zhipeng's analysis.
Vera also had a flash of fear in his eyes.
She is not a fool either.
Knowing that this scenario is undoubtedly the most likely one.
Otherwise it makes no sense at all.
Fortunately, they and Hu Qi are on the same team, so there is no need to fight against each other.
"Who is this guy? Why is it so similar to the figure I saw in my hallucination before..."
On a roof a few kilometers away from Hu Qi, Bai Chuan Youzhen stared at the figure in the distance, his face as gloomy as iron.
The image of Hu Qi has long been deeply engraved in his mind.
The person who had 'killed' his sister, junior sister, and senior sister in front of him.
Although it later turned out to be nothing more than an illusion, the face lingered like a nightmare.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Bai Chuan Youzhen frowned and his eyes shot to the sky like lightning.
On the sky covered with dark clouds, I don't know when there was an undetectable black spot.
Seeing this, his pupils suddenly dilated, and his eyes instantly turned into a pure ink color. His sight penetrated the thick clouds and reached an altitude of three to four thousand meters.
In his sight, the black spot quickly enlarged.
This is clearly a stealth bomber.
At this moment, it was hovering silently in the sky, and the bomb bay slowly opened.
A huge black object broke off the hook and began to fall.
The moment his eyes touched this thing.
Bai Chuan Youzhen felt that all the cells in his body could not help but tremble.
It was the biological instinct that reminded him of danger.
His strength has made a qualitative leap in just a few days.
For ordinary people, it can be said to be a superhuman existence.
But there was still endless fear at this moment.
"This is..."
As if he thought of something, his expression instantly twisted.
Without any hesitation, he kicked the ground with his feet.
His figure flew out like a ghost, turning into an afterimage and galloping madly into the distance.
At the same time.
Because the live broadcast picture is not from one perspective, but divided into several different perspectives.
Therefore, the strangeness in the live broadcast screen was also noticed by others.
"Is that... a nuclear bomb?!"
The expressions of everyone standing in front of the screen changed suddenly, and there was unconcealable horror in their eyes.
No one thought that those high-level officials would do this.
Even if this monster could really be killed, the price would be too tragic.
Shenmu City will be completely reduced to death.
The impact of Nuclear Explosion is just the beginning. What is truly terrifying is the radiation pollution that can last for hundreds of years.
This city may never be inhabitable again.
It's like trading a city for a person.
In situ.
Hu Qi seems to be aware of this.
He raised his head and looked to the sky.
at this moment.
The nuclear bomb has arrived six hundred meters above the ground.
Just then.
The nuclear bomb was detonated directly.
The reason why aerial explosions are used is because they are more lethal.
When it explodes in the air, the center of the explosion is a certain distance from the ground. The shock wave will be rebounded after hitting the ground, thus forming a second shock wave, which can expand the killing range.
Moreover, killing factors such as optical radiation and early nuclear radiation can also act more effectively on the target area.
The first thing you see is light, extremely dazzling light.
White light that is a million times brighter than the sun at noon.
It was like a big sun exploding in the sky.
The endless light turns into a sharp sword, penetrating everything.
The moment when ordinary people in Shenmu City who had not yet evacuated saw this scene.
The bright light instantly filled the field of vision, like countless white-hot steel needles, piercing straight into the eyes.
The eyeballs seemed to be instantly ignited and vision was lost.
At the moment of explosion.
The whole world seemed to have fallen into a deeper silence.
The world became as dark as ink.
All noise was swallowed up.
Under the shroud of light.
The lake water in Shenmu City vaporizes and evaporates within a thousandth of a second.
Concrete floors are vitrified.
The surrounding skyscrapers softened and crumbled like wax figures, their glass facades exploding into countless shining shards.
A deadly rain of diamonds formed in the shock wave.
The next second.
Bang!
A loud noise suddenly appeared.
At the same time.
The plasma fireball with a temperature of millions of degrees Celsius expanded and swallowed everything within a few kilometers.
Cars are thrown into the air like toys, melting into molten iron as they fly.
The trees were instantly carbonized, retaining their last form and turned into ashes.
Several kilometers nearby, including as large as humans.
Various animals and insects are so small that they don't even have time to feel pain.
Their figures were forever branded on the melted ground, turning into a black mark.
Everything in the world, like God's overturned palette, became distorted and collapsed into chaos.
The next moment.
The shock wave caused by the explosion spread outward at a speed of several kilometers per second, knocking down reinforced concrete buildings like building blocks.
The whole city was shaking and the earth was groaning.
A huge mushroom cloud rose from the ground and rolled towards the stratosphere.
