Unnamable Peeping

Chapter 4: The Unnamable's Gaze

Lu Yuanming could feel that there was another monster in this building, a sensation similar to a heat source detector.

Moreover, he could also sense that the remaining monster's strength was far greater than the Octopus Monster's.

It was an inexplicable feeling, he could instinctively assess the strength and power of these monsters. In his perception, if the Octopus Monster were converted into a monster in the Dark Matter World, it would only be slightly stronger than a Man-faced Dog, and definitely not reach the strength of those Super Giant Monsters.

And the other monster he sensed was also slightly weaker than a Super Giant Monster.

The reason why these real-world monsters appeared so strong, possessing abilities like suspected Spatial Transfer, Mind Control, and the shockwaves from their roars, was likely all due to that Unknown Item.

In Lu Yuanming's perception, that Unknown Item could be unfolded through his Intent. The range of its unfolding was unknown, and it was a consumable. Once unfolded in the material world, it would be continuously eroded and neutralized by the material world. Once depleted, the Unknown Item would completely disappear. However, before that, the area where the Unknown Item unfolded would become a hybrid of the material world and the Dark Matter World. Lu Yuanming's Soul Body could materialize within this field, and Colorless Light Particles could also be used.

These were the abilities Lu Yuanming could use within the unfolding of the Unknown Item. Since these monsters were the original holders of this Unknown Item, it made sense that they could possess more abilities within it.

However, Lu Yuanming felt this was not the complete truth about the Unknown Item. Firstly, the Unknown Item carried an Unnamable, terrifying aura. Although it was only a wisp, Lu Yuanming had directly faced the Unnamable before, so he was certain that the Unknown Item must be related to the Unnamable.

Secondly, through the Unknown Item, one could see the Dark Matter World, and the Dark Matter World that Lu Yuanming saw was the ruined New York City!

It was currently June Year 2024. At this point in time, the New York City of the Dark Matter World had not yet fully taken shape. Therefore, Lu Yuanming suspected that what he saw through the Unknown Item was the New York City of the Dark Matter World in Year 2028, which was the timeline of the organization he founded.

It was a pity that the Unknown Item was too small, too small. Even with his consciousness and spirit to perceive it, he could only vaguely sense the city buildings opposite the Unknown Item. Relying on such a small Unknown Item to travel back to Year 2028, he felt his Soul Body simply wouldn't fit.

But Lu Yuanming still felt excited.

Compared to before, when he had no way out and couldn't find any method to travel back, he now had some hope.

By obtaining more Unknown Items and gathering them together, perhaps he could form a passage sufficient for him to travel back and forth!

And even without this Unknown Item, Lu Yuanming would never stand by and watch these monsters wreak havoc. As he said before, when everyone is in darkness, and he happens to have a Torch to illuminate the darkness, then...

Why shouldn't he become the light for everyone?

At this moment, Lu Yuanming was running upwards in the stairwell. Behind him, the expert team led by the Woman, and more than a dozen police officers who had followed, were close behind.

Lu Yuanming glanced back at the Woman who called herself an expert. He had indeed seen her approach him with a fine needle just now. The needle was hollow and very small. It was estimated that when pricked into ordinary human skin, one would barely feel it. But once it pricked flesh and blood, it would immediately collect some flesh and blood genes. This was clearly the Woman's intention.

This truly made Lu Yuanming feel disgusted.

However, from the conversation between the Woman and the police officers, he learned that she was also a government official, and seemed to be part of a government organization specifically targeting various curses and monster incidents. Thinking about the helplessness and weakness of ordinary people when facing these monsters with special abilities, Lu Yuanming couldn't stay angry.

They were all just unfortunate souls struggling in the cataclysm. And they, whether these experts or these police officers, were all desperately trying to save more people...

Lu Yuanming continued upwards along the stairwell. As he ran, he suddenly stopped abruptly, almost causing the breathless group behind him to stumble and fall. They all looked at Lu Yuanming in confusion, but Lu Yuanming said nothing. He simply turned and charged towards the wall beside the stairwell. Then, before their eyes, he directly merged into the wall.

In Lu Yuanming's vision, as his physical body, he saw a stairwell leading upwards. But in the eyes of his Soul Body, there was no longer a path ahead in the stairwell, only a dark abyss. Stepping onto it would mean falling from a height of dozens of meters. Instead, on the wall beside the stairwell, there was an open entrance.

With two overlapping fields of vision, Lu Yuanming chose to trust his soul vision first. He then turned and merged into the wall. The wall he saw with his naked eyes was indeed empty. Behind it was a passage covered in flesh and remains.

As soon as he stepped into this passage, Lu Yuanming almost vomited, followed by immense rage.

The flesh on this passage was not torn remains, but rather humans sliced into pieces, yet not completely severed. It was as if humans were spread out flat. This horror alone was enough to scare most people to death.

Even more terrifying, Lu Yuanming's keen vision also saw scratches and claw marks on the wall, located at the limbs of these spread-out humans. Therefore, it was highly likely that these humans were still alive when they were spread out flat...

Lu Yuanming walked silently towards the depths of this corridor. At this time, the expert team led by the woman and the police officers also rushed in. Upon seeing this corridor, they were all stunned. Immediately after, whether it was the police team or the expert team, people began to vomit. Only the oldest few police officers and the woman, with pale faces, quickly followed Lu Yuanming.

At this moment, the woman said to Lu Yuanming, "Sir, the situation is urgent. On behalf of the National Paranormal Security Department, I hope to have your assistance. This concerns the safety of countless citizens, it concerns..."

Lu Yuanming did not reply, ignoring her completely. He simply ran faster.

The woman gritted her teeth and was about to take out her identification from her pocket, intending to say something harsh. At this moment, Captain Wang from behind her rushed forward, waved his hand, and slapped her. At the same time, he roared, "Don't be foolish! He's human, and he's helping us now. What do you think you're doing!?"

The woman's eyes widened, and she looked at Captain Wang in disbelief. Captain Wang then said directly to Lu Yuanming, "Stand User, do whatever you want to do immediately. There might still be survivors in this building, but they won't last long."

Lu Yuanming nodded slightly without looking back. Then, everyone saw the Golden Red Armored Figure behind Lu Yuanming spread its arms, as if grabbing something and tearing it apart forcefully. Immediately, a spacious platform appeared before their eyes. As they stepped out of the passage, they found themselves on the rooftop of Building C.

In the center of this rooftop, a woman in a red gauze dress was humming a terrifying tune, arranging the humans scattered on the ground into strange patterns.

These humans were still alive, but their limbs were twisted and torn. As the Red Gauze Dress Woman manipulated them, even a slight touch would spread their flesh flat, turning it into part of the strange pattern on the ground.

As Lu Yuanming's Soul Body tore open a spatial veil, bringing the police and the expert team to this rooftop, the Red Gauze Dress Woman also turned her head. Only then did everyone see that the Red Gauze Dress Woman had no face. Her face was a Pitch Black Void. As she turned her head, something within that Pitch Black Void also looked over. It was an incredibly huge Pupil, gazing from an extremely distant point within the Pitch Black Void.

"Close your eyes!!"

Lu Yuanming's physical body immediately closed his eyes, and he also shouted loudly. However, the police and expert team behind him didn't react in time. Except for a few who immediately closed their eyes, everyone else foolishly stared at the Pupil. Then, they could no longer look away. At the same time, the flesh on their bodies began to writhe and boil. Some people's flesh flowed down from their skeletons, turning into Bones. Others' flesh began to grow eyeballs and small tentacles. Two more people screamed as their bodies suddenly expanded and exploded, their flesh splattering over an area of more than ten square meters.

Lu Yuanming's Soul Body could barely look directly at the Pupil. However, while looking at the Pupil, he vaguely heard some chilling sounds and words. At this moment, his Soul Body erupted with full power, even causing his physical body to levitate in mid-air. The Soul Body, carrying the physical body, lunged forward. In less than a second, he reached the Red Gauze Dress Woman and smashed his two arms forward frantically. He easily crushed the Red Gauze Dress Woman's body. It was only after her void-like head endured nearly a hundred punches that it slowly shattered like a glass crack.

Before the void-like head completely exploded, a terrifying roar came from the Pupil. The human bodies scattered on the ground immediately exploded, and then the void-like head shattered. The roar thus disappeared.

At the same time, another Unknown Item emerged from the void-like head. Before it could escape, Lu Yuanming's Soul Body reached out and grabbed it, stuffing it into his body. This Unknown Item was more than twice the size of the one inside the Octopus Monster.

After this Unknown Item was absorbed into his body, Building C seemed to tremble violently. The doors and windows that were twisted out of place disappeared. The passages covered in flesh also vanished. The entire building returned to normal in less than a second. Lu Yuanming's Soul Body behind him then receded, and he could no longer feel the aura of the Dark Matter World.

However, the dead did not come back to life.

On this rooftop, there was flesh and blood residue everywhere, and people with mutilated bodies were screaming loudly. Several experts and police officers had mutated bodies, and their mutated tissues were now in rejection with their original body tissues, causing them to spray blood and pass out.

Lu Yuanming looked at all this in silence. He tried to use his Soul Body to gather Colorless Light Particles, but after the field of the Dark Matter World receded, he could no longer use his Soul Body. Apart from his vision, hearing, and Reaction Speed, he was no different from an ordinary person.

So, after a few seconds of silence, Lu Yuanming could only walk to the unconscious Captain Wang, take the walkie-talkie from his pocket, and say into it, "Call an ambulance, call the police."

"...Hello, hello, are you there? We are the police..."

Lu Yuanming dropped the walkie-talkie, turned, and walked towards the iron door at the entrance of the rooftop.
