Devouring Ghost Fog, the Massive Changes in Ghost Shadow

Devouring Ghost Fog, the Massive Changes in Ghost Shadow

But Chen Yu.

Was the only one.

He strolled through the dark back mountain.

As if he had come...

Sightseeing?!

At the summit of the back mountain.

For tourists to have fun.

The mountaintop had already been leveled flat.

And at the top stood two pitch-black figures.

One of them was Li Kun, while the other wore a suit on his upper body and beach shorts below.

The two looked extremely strange, their hands constantly moving as they did who knew what.

When everyone climbed up and looked.

They saw.

That both men were covered in blood.

And in their hands were ropes made from strips of intestines.

Then, the heads actually began to float.

Li Kun wrapped an intestine around one of the heads.

Then lightly released his hand.

The head drifted up into the sky.

Weren't these the floating heads at the school?

So this was how they were made.

The eerie middle-aged man also copied Li Kun's movements, making Head Balloons. One balloon after another floated into the air, presenting a deeply unsettling sight.

Chen Yu glanced at the large group of classmates following behind him.

Li Kun and the middle-aged man both looked pretty strong.

Those who knew better would think Chen Yu had come to deal with Li Kun and the middle-aged man. Those who didn't would think Chen Yu had brought people here to offer up their heads.

Seeing that Li Kun and the middle-aged man had not noticed him.

Chen Yu immediately raised his voice and shouted, "You two sure are taking it easy, huh? Releasing balloons up here? Do you have enough balloons? If not, I've got plenty more behind me."

Chen Yu's voice was loud and full of vigor.

The moment those words came out, all the students were scared stiff.

Luo Wu looked utterly terrified and hurriedly said, "B-Bro Chen, what are you..."

"Relax, I was just tricking them. How could I bear to harm my old classmates?"

Chen Yu revealed a strange smile.

Yet Li Kun and the middle-aged man seemed not to have heard him at all, continuing to repeat their movements and release Head Balloons.

"Busy, aren't you?"

Chen Yu looked at the heads on the ground.

There were at least a thousand of them.

At their current pace, who knew when they would finish releasing them all.

"Making so many Head Balloons at school is creepy as hell. You can't just mess around like this."

Chen Yu knew there was something highly suspicious about this birthday banquet.

So he had no intention of dealing with Li Kun and Yang Wei just yet.

Instead, he wanted to see what exactly they were planning.

After saying that, Chen Yu stepped forward, preparing to "help" Li Kun and Yang Wei release balloons.

But at that moment, a large hand suddenly landed on Chen Yu's shoulder.

Li Hao stepped forward and said seriously, "The eerie aura around these two isn't ordinary. You can't beat them. Let me help you out."

Although he knew Chen Yu had some skills.

He did not think Chen Yu could defeat those two.

Chen Yu glanced at Li Hao curiously.

This guy was quite loyal. Whenever danger appeared, he was always the first to charge ahead.

It would be great if the Investigation Bureau had more Ghost Controllers like him.

Li Hao stepped forward and stood before everyone, his expression grave. "These Head Balloons are far too troublesome. If we want to deal with the two releasing them, we first have to shoot down all these Head Balloons.

The difficult part is that these intestine ropes can attack people. And even if we knock one down, another new one will float up. Some of the intestine ropes can even reform.

So Han Ningning and I have to help you. Only then will we have a chance to bring down all these Head Balloons while preventing those intestine ropes from regenerating."

"No need to make it so troublesome. Let's finish this quickly."

After hearing Li Hao out, Chen Yu gave a faint smile and spoke directly.

Without waiting for Li Hao to answer.

With a thought, Chen Yu awakened one of the strange entities sleeping within his body.

At the same time, a scarlet light flashed through Chen Yu's eyes.

The Slaughter Ghost Domain also opened in an instant.

The ghost domain opened.

Its power directly enveloped the entire back mountain.

The power of the Time Ghost Eye also began extending outward, reaching farther than before.

The next moment!

Scarlet blood threads began spreading across Chen Yu's eyes, eventually creeping onto the skin around them.

His pupils turned into several clock hands, one long and one short.

Immediately after.

One of the clock hands in the Time Ghost Eye began spinning at incredible speed clockwise.

The other spun rapidly counterclockwise!

Time acceleration.

Time reversal!

One forward and one backward—the bizarre power of rules directly distorted time within the space!

One misty vortex of rules after another appeared, like meat grinders, effortlessly shredding the Head Balloons in the sky!

Moreover, after a Head Balloon shattered, the power of rules spread along the intestine rope connecting it to the balloon.

The rope instantly split apart, becoming an illusion, before finally being crushed out of existence by the distorted power of rules.

Li Hao's eyes went wide at the sight!

What... was this power?

Something his level 13 Ghost Scissors could not handle even after all that effort.

Chen Yu had resolved one in a single second?

Han Ningning's beautiful eyes also trembled slightly!

She had already seen Chen Yu display his abilities several times before.

She had thought she had already witnessed Chen Yu's limits.

But she had never expected...

In the end, she still had not seen through Chen Yu!

But another problem arose.

There were so many balloons here.

If they were destroyed one by one, how long would that take?

After one balloon was destroyed, Chen Yu smiled. "Looks like the effect is pretty good. Then let's try speeding things up."

The rotation speed of the clock hands in Chen Yu's left and right eyes rapidly increased!

The vortices condensed from the power of rules instantly expanded and spread!

The vortices spread outward, extending toward the surroundings and gradually occupying the entire sky.

Chen Yu's Time Ghost Eye did not stop spinning. Instead, it only grew faster and faster.

Chen Yu was challenging his own limits.

He wanted to see just how strong his spiritual power was, and how long he could last at this rate of consumption.

Unfortunately, he thought too highly of the Head Balloons.

When the distorted vortices formed from rules began to spread.

Powerful currents of air swept through the surroundings.

Bang!

Bang!

In the blink of an eye, every Head Balloon shattered.

The ropes formed from intestines were mercilessly ground apart by the vortices as well, ultimately becoming illusions and dispersing into nothingness.

When everyone saw what happened in the sky, they were stunned at first.

Then, expressions finally appeared on their rigid faces.

Cold sweat first emerged on their foreheads. As it slid down, bead-sized droplets formed on their faces and fell with soft patters.

Their pupils contracted violently, while their eyes opened wider and wider.

Their jaws dropped wide at that moment, unable to close again.

Crack!

Everyone could hear the sound of eyeballs shattering nearby.

It was the sound of their understanding of reality breaking apart!

In an instant, every Head Balloon in the entire school exploded.

The school returned to its original state. Just like before, the so-called Head Balloons seemed as though they had never existed.

"This..."

Even Li Hao could not believe his eyes.

What the hell did this mean?

A single Head Balloon that they could not kill even after slashing at it several times with the [Ghost Scissors] had been wiped out completely just because someone blinked?

Was he even supposed to let them live, big bro?

After the Head Balloons burst in the air, the skin tissue and bone fragments began to fall to the ground.

Chen Yu did not hesitate. He immediately spread the Slaughter Ghost Domain, collecting all the skin tissue in midair before it could hit the ground, then stacking it in front of himself.

When Chen Yu withdrew the Slaughter Ghost Domain, the skin tissue drifting through the sky had vanished.

And before Chen Yu, as if by magic, there appeared a huge stack of skin tissue!

What was this now?

Universal Pull?

What they did not know was that Chen Yu had simply moved too fast for their naked eyes to catch.

Chen Yu reached out.

He grabbed a pile of human facial skin.

These tissues should, in theory, have belonged to the students. Chen Yu did not eat ordinary people.

However, all the Head Balloons here had already been infected by anomalies. They could be considered another form of anomalous revival, much like how the Corpse Spot Anomaly infected people and turned them into walking corpses.

Chen Yu could devour them and gain energy at the same time.

Right in front of everyone, Chen Yu grabbed a handful of facial skin and stuffed it into his mouth.

The facial skin, mixed with the crisp cartilage from noses and the soft texture of lips, whetted Chen Yu's appetite.

"Not bad, not bad. Shame there's no hot pot. It'd be perfect to dip this in hot pot!"

Chen Yu gave his crazed review.

W-What was he doing?

Eating anomalies was one thing, but he was even reviewing the flavor?

Some of the students in the crowd had calmed down considerably. After all, they had seen Chen Yu eat the Weird Scarecrow before.

But the group of students Li Hao had brought were completely dumbfounded. This was their first time witnessing something so violent and bloody.

"Gulp—"

For some reason, as they watched Chen Yu grab a pile of human facial skin and feast on it, some people's throats actually bobbed.

It looked... pretty tasty...

Li Kun and Yang Wei, who had been releasing the balloons, were also stunned.

After looking around, they silently disappeared into the darkness. They did not seem to be planning to trouble Chen Yu and the others, and no one knew what their true purpose was.

[You have devoured a lv.12 Ghost Balloon.]

[The Ghost Balloon has been digested and transformed into energy.]

Chen Yu felt a cool sensation spread through his body.

Then, a stream of energy coursed and flowed through his limbs and bones.

In the end, that energy entered the Ghost Stairs.

[The Ghost Stairs have gained energy. Their level has increased from Level 6 to Level 7!]

[You devoured a new anomaly and acquired a new Anomaly Ability.]

[Ghost Balloon Anomaly Ability Introduction: You can turn the heads of every species you have touched into balloons. At the same time, these balloons possess a certain degree of attack power. This is an Anomaly Ability with immense potential for variation. You can explore it further on your own.]

After the phone notification appeared, another anomaly emerged within Chen Yu's body.

This anomaly was round and looked just like a balloon.

"It can control heads? As expected of an anomaly—truly terrifying..."

Chen Yu said in mild surprise. The anomalies under his control seemed to be getting increasingly bloody.

Using human heads to attack people—wasn't that some kind of horrifying voodoo curse?

Just then.

At the summit of the back mountain, wisps of bluish smoke-like haze suddenly began to drift through the air.

Like water soaking through paper, the haze slowly filled every corner of the back mountain. In the blink of an eye, everyone could no longer see their own fingers before them.

Chen Yu headed straight into the haze.

But Li Hao stopped Chen Yu again.

Although the strength Chen Yu had displayed had utterly impressed him, he still said worriedly, "Um, little brother, this fog isn't ordinary fog. It's a kind of haze released by Ghost Fog. Once you enter Ghost Fog, it's a near-certain death sentence!"

Afraid that Chen Yu did not understand just how dangerous Ghost Fog was, Li Hao hurriedly explained it to him.

It turned out that the haze here was fog released by an anomaly.

Ghost Fog was somewhat similar to a ghost domain, and the two even shared certain similarities.

Though it was inferior to a ghost domain, it was still an extraordinarily powerful area-based Anomaly Ability.

Once someone became trapped in Ghost Fog, if they failed to escape in time, some would suffocate to death, while others would remain lost within the Ghost Fog for the rest of their lives.

There had also been survivors who entered Ghost Fog and eventually managed to walk back out.

However, those survivors who emerged alive were either driven insane or left missing limbs. Some had even had their eyes, mouths, tongues, ears, noses, and other parts gouged out by some strange force.

Others had all four limbs sliced off, becoming human stumps with neither hands nor feet!

In short, Ghost Fog was extremely dangerous.

Li Hao could not let Chen Yu enter it so casually.

Upon hearing this, the other students all revealed anxious expressions.

If Ghost Fog was truly as terrifying as Li Hao said, then what were they supposed to do?

Other than Li Kun and Yang Wei, could any of them make it out of this school alive?

"The Cleansers' captain warned me many times before: if you encounter Ghost Fog, avoid it if you can. If you can't avoid it, then run. So I think you shouldn't go in. We'd all better stay out of it too, or we'll lose our lives."

Li Hao said, "Don't worry. I may not be able to deal with this Ghost Fog, but the Investigation Bureau's elites will have a way. They're already on their way here and should arrive soon."

Only then did everyone let out a breath of relief.

If they could not break through the Ghost Fog, they just had to wait for people from the Investigation Bureau to come rescue them.

Chen Yu merely said calmly, "Isn't it just some haze? Can't we just blow it away?"

Blow it away?

Big brother, this was haze—and Ghost Fog at that!

You wanted to blow it away? With what?

Your mouth? Did you have Princess Iron Fan's banana-leaf fan hidden in there or something?

Even the Bull Demon King would have chuckled at that.

"Um, little brother..."

Ever since witnessing Chen Yu's strength firsthand, Li Hao had started calling him little brother. He said, "I admit you're capable, but Ghost Fog isn't something you can handle that easily. Listen to me—let's wait for our people to arrive. It'll be safer that way."
