Hearing the commotion coming from not far away, Pu Guangrong's expression tightened.

He yelled at the young officer beside him, "What are you doing? Didn't I tell you to evacuate the residents on this street immediately?"

As he spoke, he turned around to find a side path, trying to quickly pass through the houses.

His reaction is understandable, given that the police have already found dozens of bodies in the old town area.

Many of the victims died in bizarre ways, leading one to suspect that Lu Bai was not the only murderer.

Regardless of how many perpetrators there are, danger certainly exists, and it's best to get the residents of the old town to leave as soon as possible.

As time passed, the sky gradually brightened, and the pale light tinted the clouds.

Lu Bai flicked his Long Fang and looked up in the direction of the rising sun.

Given the higher risks of nighttime operations, and the fact that the police were not aggressive in their nighttime arrests of dangerous assailants armed with weapons.

From the police's perspective, all the alleyways have been sealed off, and the suspect isn't going to grow wings and fly away, so there's no need to take any risks.

"It's almost dawn."

Lu Bai withdrew his gaze and stepped over a headless corpse with a gruesome death.

This was the third Parasitic Organism he had encountered tonight, more than he had been blocked by the police so many times.

Of course, part of the reason may be that the police were mainly busy evacuating residents from the old town.

Even with a relatively conservative approach, the police still outnumbered the Parasitic Organism and death row inhabitants.

Fortunately, the police acted as a team, so the commotion was significant.

With a little care, it's quite easy to avoid.

Hiding in the alley, Lu Bai waited until a group of police officers passed by before venturing out again.

Based on his occasional observations, the police search teams generally followed no pattern; the only certainty was that a house that had been searched would not be searched again in the near future.

However, that's enough.

He arrived in front of a two-story house.

The door to the house was ajar, and the family inside had already evacuated.

He pushed the door open and entered, then closed it behind him.

He planned to rest in the house for a while. The human body was still too weak; after only two days without sleep, the whites of his eyes were already bloodshot.

He hung a bell on the inside of the door as a makeshift warning device, then collapsed onto the sofa and fell asleep.

Ding-a-ling~

Lu Bai slept for about half an hour before being awakened by the clear sound of a bell.

He doesn't have a bad temper when he wakes up, but he can't even sleep soundly, which makes him want to kill all the guys who come knocking on his door.

"Good morning," a woman wearing a tight tank top and yoga pants greeted Lu Bai.

Her skin was a healthy tan, and her biceps were quite defined.

Moreover, three muscular men were following behind her.

They looked like a group cobbled together from some gym, as if the next thing they were going to say was in unison, "Do Lu Bai want to sign up for a membership?"

"I really can't understand it."

Lu Bai summoned Long Fang, a very amiable smile appearing on his face, "Why did you have to choose this time to die?"

Before he finished speaking, a deep, dark aura swept out from his location.

Then, with a swift movement, he activated [Flash Time] while charging forward with his sword.

Long Fang sweep horizontally.

The two burly men were instantly decapitated, without even having time to scream.

Lu Bai had used this combo several times and never missed.

The remaining man and woman were shrouded in darkness, unaware that their two teammates had been eliminated, only hearing the sounds of two heavy objects hitting the ground.

Lu Bai paused for a second, waited for the cooldown to finish, and then swung his sword again.

[Bite!]

[Points +8, Current Points: 94, Current Rank: 1/73]

The Deathmatch System's mechanical prompts faithfully recorded everything.

Lu Bai waved his hand, dispersing the black air.

Four deathmatchers with Gold level abilities came knocking, but they were wiped out before they could even use their abilities.

This is normal.

After all, when [Flash Time] is activated, the opponent has no chance to react, not to mention [Ink Dye] which deprives them of sight.

This kind of battle is purely a case of dimensional reduction.

Admittedly, [Ink Dye] actually blackens the surrounding air, and the other party only needs to take two steps to regain their sight.

The problem is that those who fight to the death are unaware of this.

No matter who it is, the first reaction when suddenly losing sight is always to stand still and be alert to any movement around them.

Subconsciously, one might feel that doing so is safer.

But it was precisely this approach that made it so easy for Lu Bai to kill people.

I was hoping to sleep a little longer.

He retracted his Long Fang, walked to the window, and looked at the sky. "Let's just start..."

The alleyway entrance remains bustling.

Because it was getting light, the number of onlookers outside the police cordon increased even more.

The sounds of murmurs and sobbing mingled together, creating a disturbingly noisy scene.

"Let me see!"

"Please let me in, please! My son hasn't come out yet, he's only in middle school..."

"Can we hurry up and take action? What are we waiting for?"

"We've spent so much of our taxpayer money, are you just going to stand here and do nothing?"

Whenever police officers bring out bulging body bags, a large number of residents immediately rush forward, asking questions about the deceased's appearance.

They fear both that their own relatives will die and that they will never hear news from their family again.

Suddenly, a middle-aged woman with tears streaming down her face lunged at another woman, repeatedly pounding on her shoulder.

"You son of a bitch, waaaaah... My son is so young, he must have been tricked into going out by that bastard of yours! If anything happens to my son, I'll make your whole family pay with their lives! Waaaaah!"

The other woman, equally grief-stricken and quick to anger, retaliated with wild, uncontrolled punches.

"You're worried? I'm worried too. My child has always been well-behaved and had good grades. It's all because of your child's bad influence."

Seeing the two mothers start fighting, the crowd rushed to break them up.

With such a commotion, the police certainly wouldn't ignore it.

Moreover, noticing that the conflict involved two women, Pu Guangrong specifically assigned a policewoman to go and appease them.

"We're neighbors, we see each other all the time, don't be so shameless."

An elderly, highly respected man stepped forward to dissuade the two mothers, barely managing to separate them.

Before the policewoman even got close, she called out, "Please calm down, both of you. Let's talk this out and not resort to violence."

The respected old man nodded in agreement. "Yes, everyone listens to this policewoman."

Policewoman: "..."

She paused for a moment, then asked, "Why are you two fighting?"

However, no one answered her after she said that.

The two mothers stared back, frozen in place.
