Vicious Dog

"Don't go to the clinic on the east side, even if you're injured."

"Don't provoke the stray dogs in the residential complex."

"The female resident in Building 6 has powerful kidneys, you can go to her."

"There's a madman on the rooftop of Building 4..."

"Back Street is very chaotic..."

Li Ran firmly memorized the several warnings Grandpa Ge had given him.

"Also, ten days from now, the Night of Madness!"

At the mere thought of this, a sense of despair and collapse inexplicably rose in Li Ran's heart.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Just as he was thinking about how to deal with the monster carnival night ten days later, several gunshots rang out from the park ahead.

"Gunshots?"

Li Ran's expression changed, and he looked toward the direction of the sound.

"Squeak?"

Scarlet Iris darted from Li Ran's pocket onto his shoulder, looking at the park in surprise.

"Scarlet Iris, let's go take a look."

"Squeak."

"D-don't come any closer!"

Xiao Yi pulled the trigger in terror, and another gunshot rang out.

The shotgun in his hand spat out a tongue of fire, sending bullets flying toward Chen Jiabin not far away.

The shotgun pellets tore a bloody hole in Chen Jiabin's abdomen, the blood flowing down looking particularly shocking.

Chen Jiabin's shoulders, abdomen, and legs were covered in horrific bloody holes, yet he acted as if he couldn't feel the pain, a bizarre smile hanging on his lips.

Following behind him was the Cursed Demon Dog, which was as obedient as a pet he had raised himself.

"Bang!"

Xiao Yi's face turned ashen; he had already used his escape skill, but he had still been caught, and his only reliance was the shotgun in his hands.

This shotgun was a Fine-grade piece of equipment, carrying a piercing effect that could ignore enemy armor.

This shot hit the arm that Chen Jiabin had previously lost, and the immense power blew the arm away, blood spraying incessantly.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi's eyes lit up; he had finally dealt damage to this monster, Chen Jiabin.

But soon, his expression froze.

He saw countless wriggling tentacles growing out from both Chen Jiabin's stump and the severed hand, those tentacles like frantically growing worms...

The severed hand even crawled directly from the ground back onto Chen Jiabin's body.

Countless tentacles connected, and the severed hand that had been blown away was once again perfectly attached to Chen Jiabin's right arm.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi felt as if his head were about to explode.

"It's over!" Xiao Yi thought to himself, sensing disaster.

No sooner had the words fallen than Chen Jiabin transformed into a black shadow and rushed forward. Before Xiao Yi could react, an arm clutching a gun flew past his eyes.

Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, inexplicably feeling that the severed arm looked familiar.

He subconsciously looked at his own right arm, where a piece was missing, and blood gushed out like a pillar.

"Ah... ah... ah!!"

Xiao Yi's expression gradually twisted as he let out several consecutive screams.

"How does it feel to have your hand severed?"

Chen Jiabin brought his face close to Xiao Yi's; tentacle-like worms were wriggling in his eyes, and his face was covered in black, centipede-like blood veins, as if he were a parasitized demon.

As he spoke, countless tentacles on Chen Jiabin's left arm transformed into a sharp blade and swung down once more.

"Puchi!"

Another severed arm flew away.

Xiao Yi collapsed to the ground, trembling, his lips purple, his face pale, and his head covered in cold sweat.

"Jiabin, I deserve to die, I'm guilty, I shouldn't have pushed you out... Spare... spare this dog's life of mine."

Looking at Xiao Yi, who was as humble as a stray dog, a flash of contempt and ruthlessness crossed Chen Jiabin's eyes. He picked him up with one hand and tossed him casually in front of the Cursed Demon Dog.

Black slime dripped from the Cursed Demon Dog's blood-red maw. Seeing a human thrown before it, it had long been famished and impatient, waiting only for its master's command to begin its meal.

Xiao Yi was nearly scared out of his wits, using only the strength of his legs to crawl back to Chen Jiabin's feet like a maggot.

"Please, don't kill me... what... what do you want? I, I'll give you everything—equipment, Mysterious Power, or points, I'll give you all of it."

Chen Jiabin kicked him away in disgust: "Rest assured, it won't be that easy for you to die."

"I will make you wish you were dead, unable to find release even in the afterlife, hahaha!"

Having said that, he swung his Blood Blade.

"Ah, my leg!!" Xiao Yi screamed in agony.

Chen Jiabin laughed like a devil as he tossed the severed leg to the Cursed Demon Dog: "Those are your rewards."

Subsequently, Xiao Yi watched with his own eyes as the Cursed Demon Dog gnawed on his two hands and one leg; the feeling was so complex he wanted to die!

"Oh? Were you just thinking that as long as I let you go, you could still go to a clinic and have them reattached?"

Xiao Yi's thoughts were seen through by Chen Jiabin, his face turning as white as paper, his entire body trembling uncontrollably.

"Ugh~!"

At this moment, the Cursed Demon Dog felt nauseous and spat out a leg, licked it on the ground, and then ate it again.

This scene caused Xiao Yi to faint on the spot.

He had a dream, and in the dream, his four limbs were severed by someone.

He woke up in a cold sweat, relieved that it was just a dream.

He reached up to wipe the sweat from his forehead, but the next second, he froze.

His hand... was gone.

Not only that, his other hand, and one leg...

It wasn't a dream; what happened in the dream was real.

At this moment, that face from his dream, like a demon, appeared before him.

He screamed in terror, nearly fainting again.

Chen Jiabin grinned hideously, the countless tentacles on his palm morphing into a sharp Blood Blade, slowly reaching toward Xiao Yi's heart: "My little dog says your flesh is as rotten as your heart. I don't believe it; I want to dig it out and see for myself."

At this moment, Xiao Yi, having lost too much blood, was pale to the extreme, already too weak to even speak.

His heart was now as cold as ash; he no longer wanted to struggle, only wishing for Chen Jiabin to give him a quick end!

"Just kill me," Xiao Yi said weakly.

"Want to die?" The Blood Blade in Chen Jiabin's hand retracted.

Turning his head, he slashed at Xiao Yi's remaining leg, and it was gone too!

"Urgh!"

Xiao Yi groaned in pain, spitting out a large mouthful of blood.

He was now a man without limbs, no different from a cripple.

What made him even more desperate was that the Cursed Demon Dog gnawed on that leg right in front of him.

At this moment, he was in absolute despair, suffering beyond words!

"Hahaha, dying isn't that easy; I haven't had enough fun yet."

"I said it before, I curse you to a fate worse than death!"

"Hahaha!!"

Chen Jiabin burst into laughter, his hideous and terrifying appearance resembling a demon.

"When you have something delicious, never think about eating it alone; you have to know how to share, understand?"

Chen Jiabin wore a mocking expression as he patted the Cursed Demon Dog's head, and the Cursed Demon Dog slowly tilted its head back, barking toward the sky.

"Woof~ Woof woof!"

"Woof~ Woof woof!"

"Woof!"

"Woof woof!"

"Woof woof woof!!"

Suddenly, responses from dogs appeared throughout the residential complex, coming from every direction!

Soon, ugly, rotting, and ferocious demonized dogs emerged from all sides.

"Don't... don't, please!"

"Jiabin... Jiabin, just kill me... didn't you want my heart? Take it... take it then."

"I beg... I beg you, give me a quick end!"

Xiao Yi revealed unprecedented fear and despair; he would rather Chen Jiabin pierce his heart with a blade than be fed to that pack of dogs!

Chen Jiabin slowly stood up with a mocking expression on his face. He stepped aside and issued an order to the Cursed Demon Dog: "Eat slowly and chew thoroughly. If anyone dares to smack their lips, their fate will be the same as his!"

Neither the Cursed Demon Dog nor the pack of dogs dared to disobey.

Chen Jiabin nodded in satisfaction and gave the direct command.

"Children, dinner is served."

At his word, the pack of dogs lunged toward their "meal."

"Ah... ahhhhh!!!"

The sky above the residential complex echoed with incomparably shrill screams.
