I Kill Myself! Sewing My Tombstone

I Kill Myself! Sewing My Tombstone

This time, however, they were being watched leisurely by a small—

Chen Yu.

When the small golden boxes in their hands were opened, Chen Yu was somewhat surprised.

Inside were pitch-black coffin nails, one after another, stained with the stench of corpses and wood chips.

They looked as if they had just been pried from coffins.

"Oh? You still have a backup plan?" Chen Yu watched it all with amusement.

The coffin nails appeared to be rather formidable anomalies as well.

These Infected Clone Coffin Nails alone were all anomalies above lv.6.

Chen Yu was curious to see what they would do next.

Qin Ziming took the lead, shouting as he madly drove the rotten Ghost Coffin Nail deep into his own heart!

Pfft!

Flesh was pierced through!

Blood sprayed everywhere from the festering wound.

Hanlan followed immediately after. The others, their eyes filled with a frenzied conviction to die, ruthlessly plunged the coffin nails in their hands into their own chests.

For a moment,

the scent of blood filled the entire mourning hall.

Fresh blood was splattered across the floor.

Through the Headless Ghost Shadow, Chen Yu clearly saw that the Ghost Coffin Nails had definitely pierced every one of their hearts!!

They were bound to die.

Next, the medium of the Ghost Coffin Nails was confirmed.

Anomalous auras began to churn and swell within their bodies!

The bodies of the [Apocalypse] members gradually began to rot and wither.

Their appearances also rapidly collapsed at a visible rate.

They had already been aged once by Chen Yu.

This time, they were directly reduced to the state of people on the verge of death!

Crow's feet covered the corners of their eyes, age spots emerged across their bodies, and their frames began to hunch over!

They were barely breathing, like elderly people in their final years.

Only their last breaths were barely keeping them alive.

What was worse, Ghost Koutou had directly become half a corpse. Rotting flesh on his head exposed a patch of ghastly white skull.

They had paid with their lives.

Using the Ghost Coffin Nails to pierce their hearts, they temporarily gained powerful Anomaly Abilities!

The five took their positions once more, standing where they had stood at the beginning of the Memorial Ritual!

They began the Memorial Ritual again!

Only, their hands had been empty before.

Now, they held something extra.

Another heavy golden chest rested in Ghost Koutou's trembling hands.

The chest was extremely heavy, yet it still could not contain the hazy anomalous aura leaking from within!

It showed just how terrifying the object inside was!

This was the trump card Yang Wei had given them before leaving!

The five [Apocalypse] members chanted an incomprehensible incantation. To human ears, it sounded like a prayer for death, like a dirge before life parted.

With one final shrill scream, they opened the golden chest!

Something lay inside.

An anomalous aura immediately surged out from the opened chest.

It slammed into Ghost Koutou Gao Mingqiang's brain, battering his nerves.

It felt as though that anomalous aura had gouged out his heart, icy pain spreading from his chest.

The crimson wrapping cloth resembled a noose soaked in blood. Its golden surface and strange patterns made Chen Yu dizzy.

"So there is another trump card."

Chen Yu looked unhurriedly at the golden box.

"What could it be?"

Watching from afar, Ma Bo instantly broke out in a cold sweat when he saw the object appear.

It was a large suona wrapped in red cloth.

An anomalous aura constantly seeped from its body.

It proved that it was an anomaly!

Suonas for funerals were wrapped in white cloth.

Suonas for weddings were wrapped in red cloth.

And this suona was clearly one used exclusively for weddings!

Ghost Koutou directly took out the Ghost Suona, placed it into his filthy mouth full of black teeth, and began playing a tune.

A suona melody found only in the eastern-western regions began to sound.

This tune was etched into everyone's DNA.

The Wedding Hall?

A melody exclusively used for weddings?

Weren't they trying to hold a memorial for me?

Why were they suddenly playing a wedding suona tune?

Chen Yu raised a brow, growing more curious.

Then Ghost Koutou Gao Mingqiang, while playing the piercingly festive wedding suona, stood at the other end of the hotel and walked toward the Apocalypse members with a beaming expression.

Qin Ziming and the others had long been prepared!

Mournful cries came from their mouths. Qin Ziming held Gao Mingqiang's prepared Weird Photo in his arms, while Hanlan and Liu Tian, the Ghost Controllers of Ghost Incense and Ghost Candle, respectively held incense and candles at either side.

This was exactly the formation of a funeral procession!

One white, one red.

One joyous, one mournful.

Normally, upon encountering such a situation,

the funeral procession had to yield and let the wedding procession pass first.

Only after the wedding procession had left could the funeral procession continue onward.

Yet the memorial funeral procession formed by the Apocalypse members did not yield in the slightest.

It directly collided with Ghost Koutou, who was playing the festive suona!

The legendary Red-and-White Collision Curse!

Curse upon curse!

The instant red and white collided,

an extremely powerful and violent anomalous aura erupted from both sides at once!

Ghost Koutou seemed to have been prepared for it.

The next moment,

as though struck by intense stimulation, he plunged headfirst to the ground!

Dead?!

Ma Bo, watching from afar, was horrified.

An endless sense of foreboding surged up within him.

Red-and-White Collision Curse was already an event of utmost evil and calamity in folk tradition.

Now that it had appeared in an anomalous ritual...

Anyone could tell that the consequences would be severe.

But just as he was stunned,

Ghost Koutou, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly woke up again and rose to his feet at astonishing speed.

However, the Ghost Koutou who stood back up seemed like a completely different person.

His eyes were unfocused, and his body moved with terrible awkwardness.

At that moment, he was like a Living Dead that had lost all human consciousness.

The anomaly began reviving within him, taking over his body, stripping away his consciousness, and invading his soul.

The funeral procession formed by the Apocalypse members, which had collided with Ghost Koutou,

also underwent a series of changes.

Their bodies slowly began to merge into Ghost Koutou's body.

In the end, they became parts of Ghost Koutou's body.

Ghost Koutou held Ghost Incense in one hand and Ghost Candle in the other. A strange Weird Photo of Gao Mingqiang was embedded in his abdomen, while the suona he had played earlier was stuffed into his mouth.

The suona continued to emit piercing notes!

After humans controlled anomalies, the anomalies' powers would be greatly weakened, because anomalies merely lent their strength to humans.

Once an anomaly revived inside a human body and took possession of it,

that was when the anomaly was at its strongest!

Ma Bo and the others immediately erupted when they saw this scene.

"T-they fused?!"

Even Wang Zhengdao, the Orderkeepers' captain who remained calm in any situation, began to stutter.

Anomalies had fused.

And all their abilities were now manifested through Ghost Koutou.

Just how powerful was Ghost Koutou now?

Meanwhile, the Weird Ruler in Ma Bo's hand slowly transformed into Ghost Koutou's shadow through waves of hazy fluctuations.

They saw it.

Ghost Koutou's shadow shot up from just over twenty centimeters to sixty-five centimeters!

After the lv.8 anomalies fused, they had actually gained lv.9 strength!

Worthy of being the Memorial Puzzle Combination.

This was far too terrifying!

Who would have thought that those Apocalypse bastards had such a method?

It seemed they had come prepared.

At the same time, they were deeply shocked.

They had never expected Nightfall to force them this far!

Apocalypse's Memorial squad had not only revealed their most deeply hidden trump card, but had also risked their lives.

"Are they copying me?"

Chen Yu was briefly stunned by the sight, but then an odd smile immediately appeared on his lips. "They obviously became stronger after fusing. This should be interesting. They probably taste even better now."

Not only was Chen Yu not panicked, saliva was already flooding his mouth.

At last, he had encountered a somewhat stronger opponent!

Those previous opponents had been too weak. Chen Yu had not even needed to go all out before they were gone.

Now, he could use them to test his true strength.

He was as excited as someone who had been thirsty for months in the Sahara Desert and suddenly discovered a spring.

They had become stronger?

Wonderful!

Once he ate them, it would all be his!

Ghost Koutou, who had fully revived and fused, had no idea Chen Yu was thinking this.

The candlelight in its hand began spreading.

Every place touched by the candlelight began to emit waves of foul stench. Wisps of smoke emerged, then the area collapsed and disintegrated, eventually turning into pus.

It also possessed a skill similar to the Headless Ghost Shadow's.

It could move rapidly within candlelight.

In less than half a breath,

the Ghost Koutou before Chen Yu suddenly vanished!

Using the candlelight as a medium, it appeared before Chen Yu in the blink of an eye.

The thick calluses on Ghost Koutou's forehead had split open from all the kowtowing earlier, and blood streamed down its face.

Without hesitation, it slammed its head into Chen Yu's Headless Ghost Shadow.

"How can the glow of rotten grass fireflies possibly illuminate the shadows?"

Chen Yu sneered disdainfully and immediately struck.

In an instant!

The Headless Ghost Shadow, formed from the anomalies on Chen Yu's body, unleashed its evil might.

The Time Ghost Eye above the Headless Ghost Shadow's navel turned crimson. Veins bulged from the eyeball and began spreading outward!

In an instant, they formed an enormous web of blood vessels that pulsed like a heart, clinging tightly to the ghost shadow's abdomen.

Two clock hands, one long and one short, began spinning erratically before finally stopping at twelve o'clock.

Tick-tock!

Time Reversal!

The Ghost Koutou that had been charging headfirst at Chen Yu's Headless Ghost Shadow actually replayed its movement and returned to where it had been!

It stood there, utterly stunned, but at that moment—

A terrifying Anomaly aura began spreading from the Headless Ghost Shadow.

A Ghost Butcher Knife wrapped in pitch-black Ghost Shadow appeared in its hand.

The Ghost Butcher Knife and Ghost Shadow formed a perfect Jigsaw Anomaly.

Its desire for decapitation instantly boiled to its peak!

The Ghost Butcher Knife swept out from an incredibly tricky angle, tracing a perfect arc of light as it shot toward the Ghost Koutou in the blink of an eye.

All the members of Apocalypse had linked together by then.

Facing that razor-sharp Ghost Butcher Knife—

Boundless terror began spreading, consuming their minds and their bodies!

Their consciousness had already been shattered by the incomparably fierce blade light. They could not even run away.

Swish!

The blade light lightly swept across the Ghost Koutou's head.

A single slash, a clean beheading.

This was the highest honor of the Ghost Butcher Knife and the Headless Ghost Shadow, their darkest hymn of praise! An ultimate thrill surged from the Ghost Butcher Knife and Ghost Shadow into Chen Yu's mind!

Even Chen Yu became excited along with them.

Blood erupted from the Ghost Koutou's severed neck, splashing up like a fountain.

Chen Yu had not held back.

At the instant he beheaded the Ghost Koutou—

The Ghost Butcher Knife's Slaughter Ghost Domain instantly unfolded.

Everything around them began turning the color of a black-and-white negative.

Everything around them began moving in slow motion, so slow it was as though the entire world had frozen in that second.

Silent streaks of blade light swept through the void, like reeds gliding across water and creating layer after layer of ripples too faint for the naked eye to detect, landing upon the Ghost Koutou.

When Chen Yu withdrew the Slaughter Ghost Domain—

The Ghost Koutou's bleeding body suddenly exploded, instantly turning into piles of blood-and-flesh chunks of astonishingly uniform size.

Yet those bloody chunks slowly began gathering together!

They were actually trying to heal and reconstruct their bodies!

Chen Yu had to admire these things.

They had been chopped into mincemeat, yet they still retained the ability to regenerate.

Unfortunately, they had not encountered an ordinary person.

They had encountered Chen Yu.

The decapitation rule created by the Ghost Butcher Knife and Ghost Shadow's combination affected their healing.

The immense power to sever everything and prevent restoration erupted in an instant.

The Time Ghost Eye froze the moment when they had become chunks of flesh in that very second!

Watched by the Time Ghost Eye, and bound by the anomalous karmic rules of the Ghost Butcher Knife and Ghost Shadow—

Even if they possessed unimaginable abilities—

They could no longer recover!

They were completely dead!

The entire scene fell silent.

Other than the blood covering the ground, singing a dirge and mourning several souls as they departed this world, there was nothing else.

Ma Bo, Luo Mu, and the others, watching from a rooftop some distance away, felt their legs go weak and collapsed onto the ground.

They had imagined countless possible scenarios.

Every one of those scenarios involved how Nightfall's anomalies would be killed.

How Nightfall's anomalies would be stripped away.

But now—

They had personally witnessed something they had never imagined!

Nightfall's anomalies had actually instantly killed the anomalies assembled by Apocalypse?

Ma Bo still gripped the Weird Ruler in his hand, and the Ghost Shadow swirling around the ruler was still appearing!

When the Headless Ghost Shadow and Ghost Butcher Knife had brought down that slash just now, the height... had reached one hundred and fifty centimeters!

Terrifying!

Only extremely terrifying could describe it.

This was strength beyond anything they could imagine.

"Quick, let's go take a look..."

As the captain of the Orderkeepers, Wang Zhengdao was naturally the first to calm down. He immediately said in a hurry.

"G-Go take a look?"

Ma Bo and Li Minghai looked stunned. Even Luo Mu was somewhat frightened.

One slash had turned the fused Memorial Jigsaw Anomaly into a plate of minced flesh.

And they still dared to go look?

Wrapped in Ghost Shadow, Chen Yu walked over to that pile of minced flesh and crouched down.

Although it had already been chopped into mincemeat—

The components formed from anomalies could still be distinguished.

The minced flesh was still radiating heat.

This was the best time to eat it!

Chen Yu plunged both hands into the mound of minced flesh.

Sticky, slick, moist—the faint warmth filled Chen Yu with delight.

He directly stuffed a mouthful of minced flesh into his mouth.

The minced flesh coated his hands, the corners of his mouth, and his face.

Filthy delight spread through Chen Yu's entire body along the nerves stimulated by the taste buds.

An anomalous impulse compelled Chen Yu to swallow the minced flesh.

The fishy sweetness wildly battered Chen Yu's brain.

He then kept grabbing the filthy minced flesh and stuffing it into his mouth.

"I never expected this Weird Photo's minced flesh to be sweet!"

"This part is a little salty! What's going on?"

[You devoured a Lv. 8 Weird Photo.]

[You devoured a Lv. 8 Ghost Koutou.]

[You devoured a Lv. 8 Ghost Candle.]

[You devoured a Lv. 7 Anomaly Vaccine.]

[You devoured a Lv. 8 Ghost Incense.]

As Chen Yu grabbed up fistful after fistful of minced flesh and stuffed them into his mouth—

Very quickly, all that remained on the ground were pools of filthy blood!

What Chen Yu had not expected was—

Other than the Anomaly Vaccine, which was a Level 7 Anomaly—

All the others were Level 8 Anomalies!

[Having devoured anomalies, energy now fills your entire body.]

[Headless Ghost Shadow has gained energy and risen from Level 7 to Level 8.]

[Time Ghost Eye has gained energy and risen from Level 8 to Level 9.]

[Ghost Butcher Knife has gained energy and risen from Level 8 to Level 9.]

[Anomaly Eater has gained energy...]

Every anomaly within Chen Yu's body had received a tremendous improvement.

This delighted Chen Yu greatly!

Most of his main combat strength had risen to Level 9!

One more level, and they would reach Level 10!

[Your Ghost Butcher Knife has become sharper, and its speed has increased.]

[The spread range of Slaughter Ghost Domain has increased to one hundred meters.]

[Your Ghost Shadow can infiltrate everywhere and travel through shadows more quickly.]

[Its speed of infecting shadows has increased, and its compatibility with you has improved.]

[The decapitation effect of the Ghost Shadow and Ghost Butcher Knife combination has become stronger.]

[Ghost Pat Shoulder can be used against anomalies one level stronger than yourself.]

[Ghost Stairs can make your body float thirty centimeters above the ground.]

[Ghost Shroud can withstand stronger anomaly attacks.]

[The infection speed of Ghost Corpse Spot has increased, and its corpse qi can spread through an area of roughly ten meters around it, depending on terrain restrictions.]

[...]

As his anomalies leveled up, Chen Yu's Anomaly Abilities also became stronger.

And it was not just one of them becoming stronger.

They all became stronger together!

After some deliberation, the Investigation Bureau members concluded that Nightfall would not attack them.

So they still came over despite their fear.

However, they did not dare rush straight in and instead approached cautiously.

But the moment they entered the hotel, they saw the Ghost Shadow wildly devouring minced flesh.

Li Minghai was one of the lower-ranked Orderkeepers, after all.

At the sight of this—

He let out a terrified scream.

This scene was way too damn horrifying!

The others were slightly better off than Li Minghai, but their faces were still filled with terror and intense disbelief.

It was not their fault.

They already had fairly strong mental fortitude.

If an ordinary person saw this scene, they would probably be scared out of their wits and wet their pants on the spot, right?

Killing them was not enough—

It was even destroying the bodies?!

This...

Was this the legendary Nightfall?

Seeing that bloody and horrifying sight—

They stopped dead in their tracks, then quietly drew back the feet they had stepped into the hotel, as though the scene were playing in reverse.

The sight was extremely comical.

Just as they were backing out of the hotel—

A figure strode over through the night from afar, carrying a golden treasure chest in his arms.

Taking a closer look, it was Xu Ao.

"Move aside! I'm going in to save people!"

Although he did not know why the Investigation Bureau people were here—

He had heard that the Memorial Ritual had been underway for some time.

He had come to stab them in the back while he had the chance.

The golden box in his arms had been given to him by Jiang Xinyue.

Inside it was precisely...

The anomaly that could utterly destroy the Memorial team.

"I advise you not to go in..."

Wang Zhengdao stopped Xu Ao, who was about to charge into the hotel.

Xu Ao looked confused and was about to speak.

But Luo Mu immediately explained the whole story to Xu Ao.

Then Xu Ao joined the ranks of those doing the "moonwalk," his face pale with terror as he quietly backed away alongside the Investigation Bureau members, afraid of disturbing the great being inside.

After retreating a long distance, they began waiting silently.

"Smack—"

"Smack—"

"Gulp—"

The sounds of chewing and swallowing continued to drift out.

After several minutes, the sounds disappeared.

Yet the Investigation Bureau members and Xu Ao still did not dare enter.

More than ten minutes passed, and there was still no movement from inside.

Only then did they slowly make their way inside.

The scene before them

hit their eyes like the end of the world.

In an instant, an earth-shattering shock swept over them.

Even these people, accustomed to brutal scenes, felt their stomachs churn violently.

They nearly threw up.

"This..."

"Is this hell?"

At that moment, the hotel lobby

was completely empty.

The blood had long since lost its warmth, congealing into heaps of indescribable things on the floor.

They gave off a nauseating stench.

The smell had already filled the entire space, making the Investigation Bureau members and Xu Ao's stomachs cramp with sudden discomfort.

A wave of cold dread rose within them.

They wanted to leave, but they could not.

Although everyone from [Apocalypse] was dead,

their clothes were still here.

Holding the golden treasure chest, Xu Ao walked over to the clothes, picked them up, and examined them carefully.

The Investigation Bureau members were somewhat puzzled by Xu Ao's actions.

Luo Mu asked, "What are you doing?"

Xu Ao did not answer Luo Mu.

He looked extremely anxious.

He tossed aside the clothes in his hand, then picked up another set.

Then he threw those away as well and searched for more clothes.

He discarded them after examining each one.

And his expression grew uglier each time.

After checking all five sets of clothes, Xu Ao said in terror, "No, no... He isn't here..."

He?

Wasn't here?

What did that mean?

The Investigation Bureau members, still unable to process it, looked utterly confused.

Had Xu Ao gone mad?

"All five people from [Apocalypse] are dead, but Captain Yang Wei isn't here..."

Xu Ao had just been checking the clothes.

The clothes of all five people had been left intact in the hotel.

Only Yang Wei's clothes were missing.

There was not even the slightest trace of him.

At once, everyone from the Investigation Bureau came to their senses.

That's right!

Yang Wei was the leader of those people!

They were all dead, so why wasn't Yang Wei here?

Director Zhang Ping's expression turned incomparably grim as he said darkly, "Yang Wei hasn't been here since the Memorial Ritual began. What exactly did he go off to do?"

Actually, they should have noticed Yang Wei's absence long ago.

It was just that they had all been too shocked by Nightfall's methods earlier.

They had forgotten whether Yang Wei was even there.

Xu Ao's face showed a hint of panic, as though he had guessed something terrifying. "He... he most likely came for Linjiang City's [Rift]."

They had learned from Jiang Xinyue

that she had once entered Yang Wei's dreams and discovered two key reasons why they had come to Linjiang City. The first was for the [Rift].

The second was to strip the strangeness from Nightfall's body.

As for what he intended to do to the [Rift],

Yang Wei had never said.

But Yang Wei was notorious, his vicious reputation known far and wide.

He was definitely not here to repair the [Rift]!

Luo Mu, Zhang Ping, and the others were horrified upon hearing this!

Now, the [Rift] was growing larger and larger. The Ghost Infant had emerged from within it.

The explosive increase in strange incidents was all because of the [Rift].

Although they had sent the [Cleansers] to temporarily contain the strange rampage and control the expansion of the [Rift],

the power of the [Rift] was not something they could keep under control!

Though the expansion of the [Rift] had slowed,

one day, it would still break loose!

When that time came, all of Linjiang City would face utter destruction!

And if someone caused trouble now,

the disaster would surely arrive ahead of time!

This was bad!

Linjiang No. 1 Middle School.

Nearby.

"Uncle, Xiaoyu wants to treat you to some cotton candy!"

A very cute little girl held up a half-eaten piece of cotton candy and offered it to a scruffy middle-aged man wearing a suit on top and beach shorts below.

Facing this innocent and pure little girl,

a sinister shadow flashed through the scruffy middle-aged man's eyes.

But that strange darkness vanished in an instant, replaced by the warm gaze of a kindly uncle next door.

The middle-aged man crouched down, gently accepted the cotton candy from the little girl, and smiled tenderly. "Little one, why are you giving Uncle your cotton candy? Don't you like eating it yourself?"

"Xiaoyu likes it, but Xiaoyu wants to share it with Uncle."

Jiang Xiaoyu said with a cheerful smile. Her peach-red cheeks were so adorable they seemed soft enough to drip water.

Anyone who saw such an adorable little girl would want to hold her in their arms and protect her.

The middle-aged man took a bite of the cotton candy, smacked his lips, and said, "Mm, it's so sweet. Delicious. Since you were willing to share it with Uncle, Uncle will trade you this lollipop for it."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man took a lollipop from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Xiaoyu.

After taking the lollipop, Jiang Xiaoyu said happily, "Thank you, Uncle!"

"Mm."

The middle-aged man stood up and looked around. After confirming that no one was nearby, the warmth on his face instantly vanished, replaced by a savage expression.

"Alright, it's getting late. Hurry home now, okay?"

The middle-aged man gently stroked Jiang Xiaoyu's head.

Jiang Xiaoyu was about to say something.

But her eyes suddenly widened.

Her rosy-red face instantly turned deathly pale.

Two streams of bloody tears immediately flowed from her eyes.

Blood seeped from the corners of her mouth, her nostrils, and her ears!

Blood flowed from all seven orifices.

She did not even have time to let out a pitiful cry.

In an instant, she died. Her poor little body collapsed onto the ground, forever bidding farewell to this world filled with sin.

The middle-aged man crouched down. Not only did he feel no remorse for killing her, a strange smile still lingered on his lips.

He reached out and viciously drove his fingers into the little girl's chest.

He then forcibly dug out her tiny, immature heart, still steaming with warmth, and placed it into a strange baby bottle.

And before this little girl,

the strange baby bottle already contained eight identical little hearts.

This was the ninth.

Next, he wiped his blood-covered hand on the girl's body, using her clothes as a pitiful rag.

Then he stood up and walked straight toward Linjiang No. 1 Middle School as though nothing had happened.

This middle-aged man was none other than the captain of the [Apocalypse] team who had suddenly left.

Yang Wei!

And he had committed crimes in succession, killing nine little girls one after another.

"Hehe, Ghost Infant, I'm here. I brought you a wonderful gift."

After saying that, he headed toward Linjiang No. 1 Middle School.

The Ghost Infant was currently hiding within Linjiang No. 1 Middle School.

After taking a few steps, an eerie curve suddenly formed at the corner of his mouth.

"However, I seem to smell something special..."

After his words fell, Yang Wei did not linger. Without looking back, he headed toward Linjiang No. 1 Middle School.

No one knew why he had suddenly said something so utterly nonsensical.

After he left.
