Chewing the Ghost Butcher Knife, Ghost Butcher!

Chewing the Ghost Butcher Knife, Ghost Butcher!

Ding!

A vibration came from the phone.

Chen Yu took his phone out of his pocket.

By sheer coincidence, the campus belle Han Ningning also jolted, seeming to sense something as she trembled and pulled out her phone.

Lines of bloody text appeared on the screen!

[All of you will become pork on the chopping block...]

[I will chop off your toes and fingers one by one, rip out your intestines while you are still alive, and tie them around your necks...]

[Hehehe... So many, so many. I can chop to my heart's content...]

Seeing the messages, Han Ningning was frightened out of her wits. Her already pale face turned even whiter, and she could barely hold onto her phone!

Chen Yu took out his phone and saw that the messages displayed on it were exactly the same as those on Han Ningning's phone.

He frowned.

What was this supposed to be now?

He had the Time Ghost Eye, so he was not nearly as afraid.

Thud!

A muffled sound rang out.

All the students who had been discussing things froze slightly and stopped talking.

Thud!

Crack!

A muffled thud came with a crisp crack.

It was clearly the sound of meat being chopped apart, along with bones being severed by a blade.

Thud, thud, thud!

More sounds rang out.

Once everyone heard them clearly, their faces changed drastically!

The sound of chopping meat had appeared!

"Fuck, that really is the sound of chopping meat! My family runs a butcher shop! What do we do? Cover our ears and run?!"

"No way, something this creepy is actually real?"

"Maybe Liu Dichen is working with the Man in Black to scare us..."

The students who believed it turned pale as paper.

As for those who did not believe it, although they were somewhat frightened, they did not flee immediately.

Han Ningning, however, was utterly panicked. Her body trembled as she stammered, "Quick, quick... cover your ears and run, or we'll all die..."

"Run? Run from what?"

At that moment, a student with slicked-back hair stood up. Though he was a student, his hair was always meticulously styled, and every item he wore was a luxury brand.

His name was Li Kun. He had pursued Han Ningning for a long time, but she had rejected him again and again.

Yet that could not stop his love for Han Ningning. Now that he had a chance to show off, he naturally would not let it slip away.

He walked up to Han Ningning, put on a gentlemanly smile as warm as a spring breeze, and comforted her, "Don't worry. There aren't that many creepy things in the world. It's probably just some student playing a prank."

Rather than calming down after hearing that, Han Ningning became even more terrified.

She instinctively looked toward Chen Yu, who was seated at the very back.

For some reason, she felt that Chen Yu had become extremely mysterious today.

Maybe...

He was just like her...

Chen Yu had naturally heard the sound of chopping meat as well.

[The sound of chopping meat is coming again and again. Player, do you hear it?]

[Perhaps It is using that wonderful sound to guide you. Driven by curiosity, you will want to take a look.]

[But I advise you to cover your ears and run now. Be a coward, and you can survive.]

[Its heart is filled with nothing but you.]

It?

Another strange entity!

Chen Yu put away his phone.

He had not expected to encounter strange entities twice in a single day.

Chen Yu knew very well how terrifying strange entities were.

Perhaps the reason that kind of news would appear half an hour later was because all the players had provoked strange entities?

No wonder the students in that classroom in the news had been chopped into chunks of flesh.

After looking around at the other students, Chen Yu stood up directly.

If he wanted to become stronger, he had to devour strange entities!

The sound of chopping meat continued without pause.

[Hehehe, minced meat, minced meat...]

Chen Yu walked out of the classroom and headed toward the source of the sound.

Han Ningning's pretty face suddenly changed when she saw what Chen Yu was doing.

"Chen Yu, what are you doing? Have you forgotten what that Man in Black said just now?!"

Han Ningning hurriedly stood up and tried to stop Chen Yu.

Chen Yu looked at her, fell silent for a moment, but said nothing. He continued resolutely toward the source of the sound.

What was he going to do?

Was he looking for death?

The corridor outside the classroom was black as ink, as though countless terrifying creatures lurked in the darkness, waiting for their prey to crawl into their bloodied maws full of fangs.

Inside the classroom, none of the students even had the courage to stick their heads out for a look.

Only Chen Yu fearlessly took off his sunglasses and walked into the darkness that could tear someone apart at any moment.

The bright lights from the classroom shone through the windows, spilling over the last patch of pure ground in the corridor.

Silently illustrating the abyss-like gulf of terror between daylight and darkness.

[The Time Ghost Eye is in use. You are attempting to use the Time Ghost Eye's power against an unknown strange entity.]

[You are too overpowered. Having mastered the Time Ghost Eye, you can use it without paying any price.]

[However... here, you will experience the terror of falling into abyssal darkness.]

[Can you feel it? The instant you stepped into the darkness, It had already fixed its gaze on you.]

After entering the dark corridor, Chen Yu received the notification.

"What?"

It found me?

Chen Yu hurriedly looked around.

But there was a wall to his left, a railing to his right, and nothing ahead of him.

The next moment!

He felt a piercing pain in his arm.

He looked in horror at the arm where the pain had come from.

Drip.

There was nothing left on his arm!

Blood gushed from the severed limb like a spring.

Crack!

A crisp sound rang out, and his other hand fell to the ground. Only that clear sound reminded Chen Yu, jolting his nearly blank mind.

Crack!

Several crisp cracks rang out in succession.

Chen Yu's consciousness gradually blurred. Before he could even scream, his entire body was literally chopped to pieces.

Chen Yu's head rolled across the floor, his eyes filled with terror!

"Cough, cough..."

He wanted to speak, but he could not.

Just as he was about to die completely.

The scarlet dial in his scarlet right eye snapped back.

Tick!

The Time Ghost Eye's power erupted!

Time Reversal!

His head rolled in the opposite direction.

His scattered limbs began to reassemble, and his wounds began to fuse shut.

Like a video playing in reverse, his blood became a crimson torrent that flowed back through Chen Yu's wounds and resumed circulating inside his body.

His blank mind regained consciousness once more.

"Ugh!"

Chen Yu, having regained consciousness, sharply sucked in a breath of cold air!

The agony from moments ago remained vivid, and the sensation of death had been branded deep into his soul!

"I-I came back to life?!"

He lowered his head and looked at his body.

Other than his clothes having been torn to pieces.

He felt nothing unusual at all!

He was completely restored!

[Hah!]

[You were attacked by a strange entity. Using Its power, the strange entity cut you into eight pieces, severed every joint in your body, slit your throat, and dragged out your intestines.]

[You died.]

[But the Time Ghost Eye helped you. It turned back time and restored your body to its original state.]

The sudden notification left Chen Yu astonished!

"So that means if you hear the sound, fail to cover your ears and run, and step into the darkness, you'll be attacked by the strange entity?!"

Chen Yu finally understood.

But he had not seen the strange entity attack.

Why was that?

[Strange entities are everywhere. Perhaps It is right beside you, or perhaps you need to seek It out.]

[You should continue following the source of the sound, satisfying that pitiful yet admirable curiosity of yours.]

The notification appeared again.

Chen Yu pursed his lips, gathered his courage, and continued forward.

The other classrooms were pitch-black, and the students had long since fled.

The sound continued to ring out.

The teaching building was extremely empty. After those terrifying sounds struck the walls, they immediately rebounded, then collided with another wall.

The entire building was filled with sound!

He could roughly tell where the sound was coming from, but he had no idea which classroom it was in.

After walking only a few steps and checking two classrooms.

Crack!

Chen Yu felt a chill run down his spine.

Someone had silently cut him in half with a single slash!

But in the next moment.

The dial snapped back.

He returned to his original state once more.

[Ding!]

[You successfully died twice at the hands of the same strange entity.]

[But fortunately, you are getting closer to the strange entity. Every death will bring you new gains.]

[However, you must watch your stamina. Reversing the time of your entire body is a costly expense.]

Chen Yu's head grew increasingly muddled. He walked to the next classroom and looked through the window.

Although he did not need to pay with his lifespan or body, facing such a terrifying strange entity meant that each reversal of time consumed a great deal of his stamina.

"Not here! Where the hell is it?!"

If not for the Time Ghost Eye, he would already have died twice over.

He had not expected this strange entity to be able to ignore distance and attack out of thin air, making it impossible to guard against!

After Chen Yu was torn apart once more, the strange entity finally stopped troubling him.

"Found it. It's in here!"

And before his stamina was completely exhausted, he finally found the classroom where the sound originated!

He immediately pushed open the classroom door.

What lay inside was not classroom desks and chairs at all.

Several large iron hooks with two prongs hung from an iron bar, with severed limbs hanging beneath them, each clearly marked with a price.

Thud!

Behind the display board, someone was holding a butcher knife and chopping meat.

Twisted fat squeezed its features together. On closer look, it was not a human face, but a yellow fleshy chrysanthemum.

Chen Yu looked at the meat it was chopping.

A black short-sleeved shirt and blue casual pants.

Along with that handsome face identical to his own.

That...

Wasn't that me?

Chen Yu was stunned!

Before Chen Yu could recover.

The Butcher suddenly turned its chrysanthemum face and gave Chen Yu an eerie smile.

Though it had no mouth.

A series of piercing sounds, like blades scraping against glass, entered Chen Yu's ears.

"Hehehe, chopping meat, chopping meat. Why won't it break apart? Won't break apart..."

The next moment.

Chen Yu's body split apart at once!

This time, he was not merely hacked into pieces.

He was directly chopped into minced meat!

An eyeball marked with a dial rolled through the minced flesh.

Drip.

Time rebounded.

The minced flesh reassembled.

A living, breathing Chen Yu appeared once more!

"Fuck! Again? Every time I recover, my head hurts for ages. Couldn't you at least chop off one less piece? Did you have to go this far? You turned me into meat paste?! The mental energy cost directly tripled!"

Chen Yu's vision began to darken. This time, he had used three times the mental energy just to restore himself.

He knew that if it happened one more time, he probably would not have enough mental energy left for the Time Ghost Eye to rewind time!

"Just surrender already!"

Chen Yu hurriedly lunged at the Butcher, grabbed its hand, and shouted, "Watch me eat you!"

With that, he opened his mouth and bit the Butcher.

In an instant, he bit off a piece of flesh from the Butcher's hand.

[Devouring an anomaly!]

[Devouring...]

[Devouring failed!]

[Target invalid. Target invalid!]

Red warnings appeared before Chen Yu's eyes.

"How could this happen?! Did it malfunction?!"

Chen Yu was horrified. He had only used it once.

And it had already broken down?!

"You unchoppable rat, you dare touch me? I'll chop you into pieces ten thousand times!"

Seeing that a rat had bitten off a piece of its flesh, the Butcher flew into a towering rage. It raised the gleaming butcher knife in its hand and prepared to strike Chen Yu.

The butcher knife?!

Chen Yu looked at the butcher knife!

The anomaly... so it was this butcher knife!

Chen Yu turned into chunks of meat again.

However, his powerful mental energy supported one final reconstruction of his body!

After reassembling himself, he leaped up and grabbed the butcher knife in the Butcher's hand!

Then, without hesitation, he opened his mouth and bit down on the blade.

Crack!

The hard butcher knife, gleaming with a cold light, actually bore several deep bite marks!

Even Chen Yu was shocked!

He had not expected his devouring ability to be so powerful that he could even bite apart a butcher knife!

Moreover, after the metal fragments from the butcher knife fell into Chen Yu's mouth, he did not feel anything unusual. It was like chewing crispy potato chips!

Cold and refreshing, with a rich stench of blood.

[Devouring an anomaly.]

[Devouring successful!]

[Successfully devoured: 3+ grade anomaly, Ghost Butcher Knife. Potential: Nine and a half stars.]

The moment the notification appeared.

An identical butcher knife appeared in Chen Yu's hand.

As Chen Yu held the butcher knife, horrifying scenes appeared before his eyes.

Streams of aura from the butcher knife surged into Chen Yu's body.

Within the vision.

A gigantic horror, covered from head to toe in needle-and-thread stitches, held a butcher knife as it walked from death toward life.

"Is it a curse, or fate!"

The gigantic horror trembled as it raised the butcher knife high, venting the grief, fury, and resentment in its heart!

The next moment!

Its body collapsed inch by inch, and countless murky fluids poured from its shattered chunks of flesh.

From the endless, vast galaxy, a ray of light descended and shone upon its enormous body.

When the light faded, so did the body.

Between the boundless heavens and earth, only a butcher knife remained, standing upright upon the yellow earth.

A nearby buzzing sound pulled Chen Yu back from the illusion--

[Host has obtained anomaly ability: Slaughter Ghost Domain.]

[Level: lv4]

[Potential quality: Nine and a half stars]

"Slaughter Ghost Domain? What kind of anomaly skill is that?"

Chen Yu looked bewildered.

Its potential was Nine and a half stars, only half a star lower than the Time Ghost Eye. Would its effect be just as heaven-defying as the Time Ghost Eye?
