The Bold Ones Seek Out Ghosts Themselves

As soon as Zhou Nuo finished shouting, she saw a silver light flash. In that instant, Zhou Nuo felt the world slow down. Little Right clearly couldn't block this attack. In that moment, she felt death.

It was like a slideshow now, everything almost at a standstill. Her eyes shifted from terror to madness. She didn't want to die. What would happen to her parents if she died? She hadn't even experienced sweet young love yet, and there were so many things she still wanted to do.

Her body felt like it had broken through its limits. Everything around her slowed down, but she was unaffected.

She abruptly lowered her head, then slid forward and grabbed a fruit knife from a fruit plate on a nearby table. With a backhand swing, she stabbed it into the middle-aged man's flesh whip, then forcefully pressed the blade down, cutting the flesh whip clean off.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. By the time Zhou Nuo felt everything return to normal, the middle-aged man had already leaped back several steps. His flesh whips retracted, and after a wriggle, they transformed back into his head.

However, at this moment, a chunk of flesh was missing from his cheek, and the wound was bleeding.

But he didn't seem to care. Instead, he looked at Zhou Nuo and calmly said, "The power you just unleashed was very strong. You truly are special."

As the middle-aged man spoke, he slowly shuffled backward, eventually retreating to the window he had entered through. He stopped, his eyes coldly fixed on Zhou Nuo, and said in a flat tone, "I will definitely come back for you. When that time comes, I will replace it and become your only parasite."

With that, the middle-aged man flashed and flipped through the window, disappearing into the vast darkness in the blink of an eye, leaving no trace.

Watching the middle-aged man vanish, Zhou Nuo could no longer hold herself up. Her legs went weak, and she collapsed onto the ground like a deflated ball.

She gasped, her chest heaving. The experience of brushing past death left her with lingering fear. Her mind was still blank, and her head was buzzing.

After a long while, Zhou Nuo's breathing was still ragged, and her heart was pounding like a wild horse. The thumping beat was like a drum, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

She unconsciously clutched her chest tightly, trying to calm her wildly beating heart.

Little Right nudged its way in front of Zhou Nuo, staring at her with its single eye, and asked in surprise, "How did you do that?"

The burst of power Zhou Nuo had just displayed had even startled Little Right. The speed that surpassed its own, along with the extreme calmness in her perception and actions, amazed Little Right.

Little Right itself was a Parasitic Beast. It knew very well how strong the flesh whips of a Parasitic Beast were. They couldn't be damaged by a fruit knife, let alone cut off. At the very least, it would take a grown man with a large cleaver to sever one.

Yet Zhou Nuo had severed the middle-aged man's flesh whip with one hand. Was this something a woman could do?

Facing Little Right's question, Zhou Nuo could only respond with a bewildered, "H-how did I do it?"

At this moment, her heart was still racing like thunder. The sound of her own heartbeat echoed in her ears. Her mind felt hazy, as if she hadn't slept for days.

Just then, a knock on the door suddenly reached Zhou Nuo's ears. Then, she heard the police inquiring from outside.

Hearing the police's voices, the stone that had been hanging over Zhou Nuo's heart finally dropped. The next moment, her vision went black, and she lost consciousness.

Liu Bing, who had been hiding nearby, nodded with satisfaction. Clearly, Zhou Nuo's series of actions had pleased him. However, seeing her collapse after just one burst of power, he muttered, "It seems that activating Bullet Time and Absolute Calm together puts a considerable burden on the body. I hope you can use this ability wisely."

Seeing that he didn't need to intervene, Liu Bing left. He needed to deal with those Zombies.

He didn't actually need to handle the Zombie situation. After all, they were just a few low-level Hopping Zombies that couldn't cause much trouble. They could even be captured by the authorities for research.

But he couldn't stop people who were chasing clicks. The way the farmer's sheep had died was too similar to a Zombie's work, making many content creators see a golden opportunity.

Of course, these people didn't believe it was Zombies. It was an era of science, and no one believed that unscientific things like Zombies existed.

These people moved much faster than the police. Like sharks smelling blood, they swarmed towards the mountain village where the farmer lived.

Xue Ming was panicking, extremely panicked. He fled frantically through the forest, occasionally looking back with fear and disbelief in his eyes.

He hadn't expected to encounter real Zombies while trying to do a live stream debunking feudal superstitions.

He was a rather famous streamer online, and he was passionate about exposing various feudal superstitions through his live streams.

Things like inserting incense into white rice and clanging bowls late at night; dotting the eyes of paper figures; or even going to desolate mountain paths at midnight to summon spirits...

In short, anything rumored to be able to summon ghosts, he would do it. He firmly believed that there were no demons, ghosts, or supernatural events in the world and publicly declared that he would dispel all feudal superstitions.

This time, the suspected Zombie attack on a flock of sheep at a farmhouse had caught his attention, and the incident was quite popular.

This was a rare opportunity to gain followers, and Xue Ming certainly wouldn't let it pass.

So, during the day, he personally went to inspect the dead sheep. As expected, there were two small blood holes on their necks, and they had indeed died from having all their blood drained.

Seeing this, Xue Ming secretly rejoiced but maintained a calm facade, deliberately saying a few words to stir up his audience's emotions, building hype for the live stream that was scheduled for that night.

As for whether the sheep were actually bitten to death by Zombies, he didn't believe it. He was a staunch materialist.

At night, Xue Ming brought his live streaming equipment and entered the mountains surrounding the village to begin his broadcast.

Initially, it was quiet all around, and he didn't notice anything unusual. He wandered aimlessly along the mountain path, but he couldn't see any people or other animals.

At first, he just thought the mountain was too quiet. There wasn't even the sound of nightingales or insects. But he didn't think much of it. It wasn't until the latter half of the night that he heard rhythmic sounds, like dull thuds, as if someone was hopping through the mountains.

He immediately got excited and quietly crept in the direction of the sound.
