The weird eats meat, doesn't your conscience hurt?

Chapter 28: Ghost Eats Meat, Doesn't Your Conscience Ache?

Riiip--

Crack--

Chomp chomp--

The Back Anomaly tasted like chewing on a crisp biscuit, with a good texture, even quite chewy.

[You have devoured Level 7 Anomaly, Back Anomaly.]

[Back Anomaly has been digested by you.]

[You have obtained Anomaly Ability!]

[3.5 Stars - Lv6 - Back Anomaly]: Watch your back, or something might latch onto you, and then this body might not be yours anymore.

As the prompts appeared.

After being digested, the Back Anomaly transformed into a surge of powerful energy, filling Chen Yu's limbs and bones.

Finally, it flowed into a certain part of his body, becoming energy for the Headless Ghost Shadow!

[Headless Ghost Shadow absorbed energy, successfully upgrading from Level 6 to Level 7.]

[Headless Ghost Shadow's power has been greatly enhanced.]

[Headless Ghost Shadow's speed has been greatly enhanced.]

[Headless Ghost Shadow's stealth has become stronger, making assassinations easier.]

[Headless Ghost Shadow has completely become a part of your body, at your command.]

The Headless Ghost Shadow within Chen Yu underwent intense changes.

Finally, it successfully upgraded to Level 7!

Chen Yu was overjoyed.

The Headless Ghost Shadow could already challenge higher-level anomalies, and Chen Yu used it frequently in combat because it was naturally made for fighting.

Now, with the Headless Ghost Shadow at Level 7, Chen Yu's lethality and survivability had both reached new heights.

Currently, his three main combat powers were the Time Ghost Eye, the Ghost Butcher Knife, and the Headless Ghost Shadow.

Now, all three main combat powers had been promoted to Level 7 one after another.

For ordinary anomalies to naturally increase their anomaly level, it would take countless years of accumulation.

Even for anomalies controlled by Ghost Controllers to level up was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Yet, Chen Yu had managed to upgrade three anomalies to Level 7 in such a short period.

This was already incredibly heaven-defying.

But Chen Yu was still not satisfied, thinking he was improving too slowly.

After the upgrade was complete, Chen Yu stood up, brushed off nonexistent dust from his hands, and said to Han Ningning, who was in a state of bewilderment and shock:

"Let's go, I'll take you to find something interesting."

"Something interesting?"

Han Ningning looked confused.

Seeing Chen Yu already leaving with Tong Jian, she quickly followed.

The thread left behind after the two anomalies' mediums came into contact, the line connecting them.

Only Chen Yu, with his Time Ghost Eye, could see it; no one else could.

The line was long, stretching as far as the eye could see, and it twisted and turned through the zoo.

Chen Yu led Tong Jian and Han Ningning in their search.

Finally, the medium clue led them to the vicinity of the zoo's service station.

Chen Yu looked up at the plaque of the zoo service station.

The plaque was covered in dirty marks, like the grease stains on a chef's apron that had never been washed.

The service station was meant to serve tourists visiting the zoo.

As they arrived at the zoo service station.

A sobbing sound could be heard from within the station.

The crying was sorrowful, causing Chen Yu and the others to frown slightly.

Now, the zoo was overrun by anomalies, and everyone had long since fled.

How could there be the sound of someone crying?

Chen Yu, Han Ningning, and the others moved closer to take a look.

They saw a slightly frail figure squatting at the entrance of the service station, weeping sadly.

It was an old man, with white hair and a thin build, appearing to be in his sixties or seventies.

But the old woman had kind eyes and a benevolent face, looking like a grandma from next door.

In her haste, her wrinkled hands trembled non-stop.

Her lips were pale.

Seeing the old woman cry so sadly, Han Ningning's heart immediately softened. She walked over and asked, "Grandma, what's wrong?"

The old woman looked up at Han Ningning and cried even harder. "My, my granddaughter is lost! She's the granddaughter I have to live with! If I can't find her, I won't live anymore..."

As soon as she said this, Han Ningning frowned.

She was a Ghost Controller and could sense eerie auras.

This old grandma had no eerie aura on her, which meant she should be a normal person.

But why would a normal person be in the Anomaly Zoo in the middle of the night?

And also lose her granddaughter?

"Grandma, don't worry, we'll help you find her."

Han Ningning said to comfort her.

The old grandma held her hand, too moved to speak.

Tears rained down, and she just kept repeating, her voice trembling, "Thank you... thank you..."

Han Ningning sighed.

She mused that her granddaughter was probably not going to be found.

And who knew... maybe the Anomaly Infant had taken her.

Chen Yu glanced at the old woman again, then entered the service station with Han Ningning and Tong Jian.

[Wuwuwu--]

As soon as they stepped through the door, a child's crying could be heard.

This eerie crying, like a nightingale's spring song in the middle of the night, sounded chilling in the Anomaly Zoo.

The hair on the back of Han Ningning's head twitched. The Ghostly Smiling Face on it trembled, clearly frightened by the crying.

Han Ningning felt the Ghostly Smiling Face's fear and then said, "This crying sound just now forcibly stripped away my lifespan. The anomaly that could affect me from this far away... it's very likely an Anomaly Infant inside."

Anomaly Infants were beings that even the Investigation Bureau feared.

Just hearing the sound had indirectly caused her lifespan to decrease by three years. One could imagine how powerful the main body must be.

Chen Yu didn't hesitate, neither nodding nor shaking his head.

Han Ningning continued, "Are we going in? Anomaly Infants are extremely terrifying anomalies, and the danger level is very high."

Chen Yu said directly, "Since we're here, of course we're going in. If there's an Anomaly Infant, we'll take care of it while we're at it."

He said this very casually, as if he were talking about something trivial.

If anyone else heard this, they would probably laugh their heads off.

But the people present didn't doubt Chen Yu's strength.

After all, the strength Chen Yu had displayed before had already shocked them beyond measure.

Perhaps, he really had a chance to deal with the Anomaly Infant.

They followed the crying sound and walked further inside.

The service station was where the zoo's customer service staff lived and worked.

It was different from the outside.

The outside was filled with the smell of blood, dead animals everywhere, and various feces and organs strewn about.

But this place was very clean and very quiet.

So quiet it felt like falling into an endless abyss.

Hearing nothing, feeling nothing.

The only things they could feel were their own breathing, footsteps, their slowly accelerating heartbeats, and that eerie child's crying.

In the surrounding darkness, it seemed like countless horrors were lurking.

Combined with the crying, it elevated the sense of terrifying slaughter by several levels.

As they went deeper.

The sound became more and more distinct.

At this moment, the crying sound was as if it were right by their ears, constantly swirling in their minds!

The surrounding walls began to change slowly.

The white walls were covered with various bloody handprints.

Blood footprints covered the ground, overlapping, crisscrossing.

In the photo frames of the service station staff, each photo with a professional smile now looked so eerie and terrifying.

In the photo, their eyes were bloodshot, and their faces were smeared with blood.

When they first entered, they didn't feel anything.

But afterward, that terrifying feeling became more and more apparent.

As they walked, under a counter not far away, a pitch-black figure was crouching on the ground.

[Wuwuwuwu...]

[Crack! Crack--]

[Creak, creak--]

Cries came from the mouth of the small figure.

Besides the crying, there were also sounds of gnawing and teeth-grinding.

Han Ningning and the others stared intently.

They were instantly terrified!

The small figure crouching on the ground was a child!

In his deep red eye sockets, a scarlet eyeball stared fixedly at the thing in his hands.

And what he was holding...

He wasn't just eating; he was also sobbing.

The scene was terrifying.

Han Ningning was already panicking.

This child eating a corpse was far more terrifying than Chen Yu.

She subconsciously tugged at Chen Yu's sleeve and hid behind him.

At this moment, only Chen Yu seemed to be able to give her a sense of security.

Upon seeing the bizarre child, Chen Yu, however, smiled faintly.

Damn, I've run into a fellow professional!

Not only was he not scared, but as he watched, his stomach even felt a little hungry...

The child seemed to sense something and suddenly turned his head.

Beneath the skinless flesh, only bright red muscles were visible. The half-face of skin hanging from his jaw swung with his movement!

He stared fixedly at Chen Yu. Even without a ferocious expression, his face already looked ferocious.

Han Ningning's face instantly changed!

If she hadn't covered her mouth, she probably would have screamed.

The gruesome and bloody scene made Han Ningning's stomach churn.

The main reason was that the child was too bizarre and terrifying. When eating the corpse, he wasn't even one percent as elegant as Chen Yu.

Chen Yu gently patted Han Ningning's shoulder. "Don't be scared, don't worry. It's just a child."

These words seemed to have given Han Ningning a shot of confidence, and her trembling body began to calm down.

Meanwhile, in a corner.

A camera, which had lowered its head due to a power outage, suddenly raised its head the moment Chen Yu entered.

The camera lens emitted a strange red glow, like the gaze of a demon from hell, exuding an irresistible deterrence.

Although the camera was very hidden, it still caught Chen Yu's attention.

The zoo had long since lost power.

The camera should have stopped working.

But why had this camera started working again?

Han Ningning naturally didn't notice the strange camera; her eyes were only on the terrifying, bizarre child.

A foul odor spread from the child, emanating from an angle invisible to ordinary people, and from a place that couldn't be pinpointed, it filled the entire space, corroding the mucous membranes of Chen Yu and the others' nasal cavities and throats.

This indescribable smell was even assimilating the air in the entire space.

Like a ferocious demon, the scarlet chunks of flesh lying on the ground seemed to mock the living who devoured corpses, in the name of death.

Run!

Reason warned Han Ningning again and again. She turned her head to look at Chen Yu, wanting him to leave with her.

She was also smart and thought of it immediately...

He suddenly looked up, gazing at Chen Yu.

He raised another bloody chunk of meat, about the size of a fist, towards Chen Yu, its origin indistinguishable.

It seemed like an invitation for Chen Yu to eat.

This is bad!

Han Ningning's expression shifted.

Eating that meat would surely mean death!

However, what Han Ningning didn't anticipate was that Chen Yu, who had always been quiet, gentle, and refined, was now looking at the child and the pool of scarlet liquid with a happy smile.

The corners of his mouth curved into a strange, wide grin.

Just as Han Ningning was about to tell Chen Yu to leave, Chen Yu preempted her, grabbing her arm to stop her from leaving. "Let's go, let's go take a look together."

As soon as he spoke, Han Ningning was brought by Chen Yu to the side of the strange child.

"It smells good. Are you going to give me some to eat?" Chen Yu asked with a smile.

The blood-covered child looked up, gazing at Chen Yu with pale eyes. Then, it put down the piece of meat it was holding, tore off a much larger chunk of thigh meat from the corpse, and offered it to Chen Yu.

Chen Yu did not reach out to take it.

Seeing that Chen Yu didn't take the corpse piece he offered, the eerie child's face immediately drooped and contorted.

[Wuwuwu...]

Accompanied by its eerie cry, which seemed to penetrate the void, a strange aura erupted from its body, as if it were tangible!

[Buzz!]

[It is willing to give you the largest piece of meat to eat.]

[You refuse, hurting its feelings.]

[It now wants to kill the impolite you.]

A series of notifications appeared on the phone, proving that the creepy kid was about to start killing people!

Chen Yu, however, smiled and then crouched beside the strange child. "I'm not refusing your offering, let's eat it together."

Hearing this, the strange child finally retracted its odd aura, and its crying expression instantly vanished. It nodded as if it had human emotions.

Then, the two, one big and one small, squatted on the ground, devouring the corpse piece by piece.

However, what Chen Yu was actually eating was not human flesh, but something eerie. The meat handled by this strange child, much like the gruel the sinister caretaker used to feed people, had, to some extent, become a medium for killing. It was no longer meat in the physical sense.

Han Ningning, standing by, was so shocked her jaw dropped to the floor, and she couldn't retract it for a long time.

This scene was too harmonious!

In this world, perhaps only Chen Yu could match the appetite of this strange child.

One had to wonder, if it were anyone else, seeing the strange child offer them a piece of corpse meat, would they accept it? Would they squat down and eat the meat like brothers, one bite after another?!

After eating a few mouthfuls, Chen Yu turned and said, "Could you please go pick me a fruit?"

"Okay, okay." Han Ningning snapped out of her shock. Although she didn't know why Chen Yu wanted a fruit, she still complied.

There were many ornamental trees in the zoo. However, after the eerie disaster, the trees had all withered, and the fruits had fallen to the ground. Han Ningning picked up a yellowish little fruit from the pile of fallen fruits and handed it to Chen Yu.

Chen Yu held the fruit and smiled at the mischievous child. "Since you were willing to share your food with me, I'll give you something to eat too."
