Suffocating Gap, He is the Anomaly's [God]

Chapter 25: An Unbearable Gap, He Is An Anomaly

The next moment!

The ghost hand suddenly grabbed the Headless Ghost Shadow's arm.

"Moreover, the owner of this head is very young. His head must be worth a lot, right?"

"Would you like to take a closer look?"

The Ghost Doll's voice gradually became distorted, exuding an evil Anomaly.

It was like a terrifying ritual before a flesh and blood altar, inciting cultists, with every word carrying a strange gravitational pull that guided brain cells.

When the Ghost Ticket Seller inside heard the Ghost Doll's voice, his whole body froze, then he gently touched the stone.

[Oh, so I misjudged. This head is very good. I'll take it.]

After speaking, the Ghost Ticket Seller's ghostly hand grabbed the stone and returned to the dark window.

The next moment.

Another ghostly hand stretched out from the window, holding a blood-stained ticket.

[Your head was very delicious, I liked it very much...]

Crunch, crunch!

Crisp sounds kept coming from inside, widening Han Ningning's eyes in shock, her mouth agape, unable to close for a long time!

That works too?!

Han Ningning then carefully looked Tong Jian up and down.

Was the little girl following Chen Yu this amazing?

Then how powerful was Chen Yu?

After Tong Jian got the ticket, she calmly moved to Chen Yu's side.

Now, only Han Ningning was left without a ticket.

She walked to the ticket booth.

She directly reached her hand into the window, pretending to trade her arm with the Ghost Ticket Seller inside!

The Ghost Ticket Seller naturally wouldn't refuse, and immediately extended his ghostly hand, about to grab Han Ningning's arm.

But just then!

A powerful Anomaly energy was suddenly released from within Han Ningning!

The hair on the back of her head flew wildly without any wind.

Immediately after, a ghostly smiling face appeared on the back of her head!

She had been prepared for a long time.

It was absolutely impossible for her to hand over a part of her body as a price.

Her plan was to pretend to trade first, then use the Ghostly Smiling Face to suppress the ghostly hand, and then forcibly take the ticket.

In another dark window, there was also a ghostly hand, holding a ticket.

[Hehehehehe...]

The Ghostly Smiling Face's strange suppressive power suddenly appeared, directly enveloping the entire ticket booth.

The Anomalies inside seemed to fall into a daze and stopped moving for a moment.

"Now!"

Han Ningning rejoiced in her heart and tried to snatch the ticket from the ghostly hand in the other window!

[Wuwuwuwu...]

But who knew, as soon as she made a move, a strange child's crying sound echoed throughout the zoo.

The appearance of this crying sound made the zoo, already filled with a terrifying aura, even more Anomaly!

The moment the crying sound appeared.

The smiling face on the back of Han Ningning's head suddenly drooped, and the flesh on its face seemed to lose its support and fall!

Instantly, the Ghostly Smiling Face turned into a crying face!

Han Ningning felt something in her body being rapidly drained away!

It was her lifespan!

The moment the Ghostly Smiling Face turned into a crying face.

Han Ningning was directly and forcibly robbed of three years of her lifespan! A lock of her hair turned white!

When the Ghost Ticket Seller heard this crying sound, he instantly snapped back to his senses.

Then, an icy and terrifying aura emanated from the ticket booth.

[Rat, you actually tried to snatch the ticket from my hand!]
[Since you want to enter the zoo so badly, I'll let your soul stay in the zoo forever...]

The Ghost Ticket Seller's body trembled, filled with rage.

In less than a moment.

A ghostly hand shot out from the pitch-black window.

Han Ningning was terrified at the sight. She screamed and hastily retreated.

She thought that after retreating, the Ghost Ticket Seller inside the ticket booth wouldn't be able to catch her.

But little did she know, the ghostly hand in front of her astonishingly disappeared from its spot and reappeared... right in front of her!!

At the same time, the glass window of the ticket booth couldn't withstand the force and shattered.

Accompanied by the sound of breaking glass.

A person wearing a ticket seller's uniform, covered in blood, with abnormally long arms, appeared inside.

The ticket seller's left eye socket was sunken deep into the eyeball.

But its right eye glowed with a scarlet light, staring intently at Han Ningning with a ferocious expression!

This was the first time Han Ningning had personally witnessed an Anomaly since joining the Investigation Bureau.

Although the Investigation Bureau had provided training before, training was training, and real combat was real combat!

At this moment, she understood the sentence in the Investigation Bureau's manual—

Once you come into contact with the medium of an Anomaly and are locked by its rules, escape is practically impossible.

She had just... agreed to buy a ticket!! The medium was established, there was nowhere to escape!

For a moment, her face turned ashen, and she desperately tried to use her last shred of reason to fight back with the Ghost Smiling Face.

She kicked off the ground and retreated rapidly.

Frantically trying to activate the Ghost Smiling Face...

But the Ghost Smiling Face seemed to have completely lost contact with her, maintaining its crying expression, uncontrollable!!

It's over!

Despair flashed through Han Ningning's mind.

Meanwhile, Chen Yu, who was behind her, was not afraid at all. Instead, a smile curved his lips.

The main body has finally come out.

This is the moment I've been waiting for!

Seeing the Ghost Ticket Seller about to pounce on Han Ningning.

Chen Yu directly activated the Headless Ghost Shadow.

A ghost shadow, like a stream of water, swiftly traversed from the pitch-black darkness, appearing behind the Ghost Ticket Seller in less than a breath.

The Ghost Ticket Seller didn't notice it at all.

The dark ghost shadow rapidly transformed into the shape of the Headless Ghost Shadow.

Then, it slowly extended its hands, like grabbing a basketball, and its palms grasped the Ghost Ticket Seller's head from both sides.

With ease, it tore off its head.

The Ghost Ticket Seller seemed not to have reacted even in death, its body maintaining the motion of lunging towards Han Ningning. Only when its head and body separated did its body inform it that it was dead!

Then, with two thuds, the Ghost Ticket Seller's body and head landed separately on the ground.

It was resolved with such ease.

Han Ningning was still in shock, unable to snap out of it for a long time.

Chen Yu strode forward and dragged the Ghost Ticket Seller's corpse over.

Crack!

Opening his mouth, Chen Yu bit down on the Ghost Ticket Seller, tearing off a piece of bloody flesh like a wild beast before swallowing it.

Witnessing this, Han Ningning was utterly dumbfounded, unable to utter a word for a long time.

Eating Anomalies!

He ate the Ghost Butcher before!

And now he's doing it again!

So strong!

It seems I didn't find the wrong person this time!

The ghost shadow on Chen Yu was actually so powerful that it easily dealt with the Ghost Ticket Seller, which the Investigation Bureau found difficult to handle!

What was the origin of this ghost shadow?

Chen Yu's trump card was too terrifying!

She regarded Chen Yu's ghost shadow as his trump card.

After all, this ghost shadow was too powerful. If he had something even more powerful on him, wouldn't that be defying the heavens?

But she didn't know that.

The Anomalies within Chen Yu's body were stronger than the last.

Headless Ghost Shadow?

Compared to the Ghost Butcher Knife and the Time Ghost Eye, it was practically the weakest of the weak!

This was merely a simple move from Chen Yu.

"Time is short, let's go inside first."

After eating a few bites, Chen Yu turned to Han Ningning and said, his face covered in blood, making him indistinguishable from a monster.

If Chen Yu wasn't one of them, Han Ningning would probably have wet herself on the spot.

She didn't dare to ask or speak, only nodding tremblingly.

Then, Chen Yu tossed the ticket from the Ghost Ticket Seller to Han Ningning and proceeded to drag the corpse, eating as he walked.

In Han Ningning's eyes, Chen Yu was simply an Anomaly wearing human skin!

This was too terrifying!

Anomalies always ate and killed humans.

But with Chen Yu, it was completely reversed.

It was Chen Yu who ate and killed Anomalies instead.

[You have devoured a Level 5 Anomaly: Ghost Ticket Seller.]

After Chen Yu completely swallowed the Ghost Ticket Seller, he instantly digested it. The Ghost Ticket Seller transformed into a wisp of energy that filled Chen Yu's limbs and bones.

Finally, it all flowed into the shadow beneath Chen Yu.

[Headless Ghost Shadow absorbed the energy from your consumption, upgrading from Level 5 to Level 6!]

[Your control over the Ghost Shadow has become stronger.]

[Your Ghost Shadow's speed of traversing through shadows has increased.]

[Your Ghost Shadow's speed of infecting other shadows has become faster.]

[...]

[You have acquired a new ability: Ghost Ticket!]

[4-star Quality - Lv6 - Ghost Ticket: "Do you want to buy a ticket? The kind you exchange with yourself."]

A series of upgrade notifications appeared.

Chen Yu patted his stomach and let out a satisfied burp.

Han Ningning, standing beside him, looked at Chen Yu with not only shock and admiration, but also a hint of fear.

After all, as a girl, it was natural to be scared seeing someone eat an Anomaly.

"Right, I think I faintly heard a child crying just now. Your Anomalies seem to have been affected."

As Chen Yu and Han Ningning headed towards the zoo, Chen Yu suddenly remembered this and spoke.

"Yes, it's said there's an Anomaly Infant in this zoo. I thought it was just a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be real."

Han Ningning's expression turned worried again.

Anomaly Infants were extremely powerful.

With her strength, encountering an Anomaly Infant would mean certain death.

Chen Yu, however, was not afraid at all and even quickened his pace.

Holding their tickets, the three of them had the right to enter the zoo.

As they stepped through the zoo gates.

A terrifying, eerie, and chilling aura instantly washed over them.

Han Ningning couldn't help but tighten her clothes.

"It's so cold! Is it winter here?"

The Ghost Doll also complained.

This chilling wind also carried whiffs of blood.

The zoo was now completely ruined, with animals either dead or having escaped.

"We just need to deal with all the Anomalies inside. Where is the closest known Anomaly?"

Chen Yu asked Han Ningning.

His current mission was to find Anomalies, kill Anomalies, eat Anomalies, and improve his strength. Completing the mission was secondary.

Han Ningning took out a report, looked at it, and said, "The next Anomaly is called the Ghost Zookeeper, and it lives near the animal enclosures."

The zookeeper's living location was not far from the animals, as they needed to tend to them at all times.

"Let's go."

Without a word, Chen Yu had Han Ningning lead the way.

Han Ningning nodded and then proceeded according to the map.

"Help!"
