Encircling the Man in Black (4K)

After Wu Heng left,

Corey stared at the cold, ruthless Butcher who filled the entire ravine before him. Beneath his black hood, his grim, weary face revealed an expression of excitement.

"The Skinner Legion has arrived just in time!"

No man can resist the temptation of leading a legion of killers.

On his way to Haddonfield, Wu Heng bought a batch of standard hockey masks, which are as easy to buy as ordinary helmets.

Therefore, the 719 newly minted killers in the valley, whom he called ' Skin-Grafters,' were all wearing hockey masks and wielding various cold weapons such as knives, hammers, and chainsaws.

Everyone's eyes were filled with a bloodlust; they were just 719 clones of Jason Voorhees.

Corey pulled out his phone; it was Allyson's number, and it contained a text message she had sent him seven hours earlier:

"Your girlfriend Allyson and her grandmother Laurie Strode are both in my hands. You have 12 hours to return to Haddonfield."

"Place the mask at the designated location, and I can guarantee they'll be alright. Otherwise, you'll only receive their ashes."

"I will banish their souls!"

For someone like Corey who inherited the mask, the other party even mentioned the deterrent effect of destroying the soul.

Corey didn't care whether the old woman named Laurie Strode lived or died, but Allyson was the only warmth in his life, a candle illuminating his heart.

He absolutely did not want Allyson to die because of him!

This is also why Corey rushed back to the town.

He had initially been worried about the other party's methods, but now he couldn't wait to meet them.

Corey took out his phone and replied to the other party:

"I 'It Comes, and the mask is with me. How about the trade?"

"If Allyson gets hurt, you will never get the mask, believe me!"

The other end replied almost instantly:

"I have no interest in two mortals. Before 9 PM, which is one hour, head to the Oak Forest wearing a mask!"

Upon seeing this message, Corey quickly began to think.

"First and foremost, one thing is certain: the other party has no idea that the mask's power is a one-time grant. Unless I die, obtaining the mask will not grant me the power!"

Corey memorized all of these records found in the Book of Fear.

"To the west of the oak forest lies a large lake, and to the north, it connects to the Swan Lake Swamp. Neither of these places is suitable for escaping by means of transportation."

He suspected that the other party would most likely choose to escape from the south, that is, towards the Marco Town!

With that in mind, Corey immediately began assigning the killers from the Skinner Legion to different groups on the spot.

He kept 100 for himself, leaving 619 Skin-Grafters, who were then evenly distributed among the 70 fearful believers who had witnessed the spectacle and fallen into fanaticism.

Ten of the fear followers were assigned to guard the west and north directions, while another 20 followers remained in the east, towards Haddonfield, to meet Allyson and him.

As for the remaining 40 people, and the 300 Skin-Grafters, they were all lying in ambush in the south.

After agreeing on their tactics, Corey put on his mask and headed to the designated location.

After waiting for half an hour, when it had reached 9 PM,

But no one showed up, Corey was starting to get impatient.

Suddenly, he heard a warning from the fear-mongers lying in ambush to the south in his earpiece, saying that a drone It Comes from the south, heading towards Corey's location.

At the same time, Corey's phone also received a text message.

"Place the mask in the box under the drone, and you will meet Allyson."

Upon seeing the text message, Corey stared at the drone landing in front of him, his expression changing drastically.

"Damn it, they didn't come in person!"

His every expression was captured by the camera in front of the drone.

"I need to see Allyson," Corey replied. "I don't know if you're lying to me!"

There was no further reply from the other end, but another drone, about the size of an adult and equipped with a box, flew over again.

Inside the box were items such as detonators, explosives, and timers wrapped around the body, with Allyson bound in the center.

Her mouth was gagged, tears streaming down her face; she looked utterly pitiful.

The moment Allyson saw Corey, her expression immediately became excited.

Upon seeing the container rigged with a remote-controlled bomb and Allyson, Corey could only angrily pull out his Scream Mask and place it inside the drone's container.

With a 'snap,' the box locked itself and flew into the air, gradually disappearing.

The box imprisoning Allyson opened automatically, the bomb timer stopped, and Alice rushed over, excitedly hugging Corey.

"Corey, Grandma is still tied up by that man, sob sob!" Allyson sobbed in a panicked voice.

Corey put his arms around her and kept comforting her, "It's okay, she's let you go, she'll definitely let your grandmother go too."

However, Allyson did not see Corey's sinister expression on her shoulder at that moment.

Grandmother Laurie Strode has always looked down on Corey and frequently forces her granddaughter Allyson to stay away from Corey. Corey has long wished that the old lady would die!

That way, no one will stop him from being with Allyson.

The mask that was just placed in the box, although made of the exact same material as the Scream Mask, was a fake.

Corey has been following the online updates about him obtaining the mask.

Knowing that many people coveted his mask, he simply forged another one out of human skin, just in case. Unexpectedly, he actually needed it.

I'm sure that once the other party gets the mask and discovers it's fake, they'll be furious and kill Grandmother Laurie Strode.

That way, no one would stop Allyson from dating him.

"Corey, you lost your mask saving me, I...!"

"Alright, alright, it's just a mask, it's okay, Allyson." Corey patted Allyson's head, comforting her. "You didn't complain about me when I didn't have a mask!"

He then took out a walkie-talkie and notified the fearful believers to the south to track down the drone's location.

After he finished speaking, he noticed that Allyson behind him had fallen silent.

The moment Corey turned around,

Allyson suddenly struck, driving a nail embroidered with a clock pattern deep into Corey's body.

His body instantly lost the ability to move.

Allyson's expression at this moment was one of contempt and smugness, as if she were looking at ants.

Corey was unable to speak or move at this moment, but the flies he had released earlier could still be controlled by his will.

The ground beneath where he is now standing,

By this time, hundreds of Skin-Grafters had dug their way here through tunnels. For them, the hard soil underground was no different than digging for tofu.

A fly was crawling on the shiny forehead of each of them.

Upon receiving Corey's signal, all the flies instantly flew away from the heads of these Skin-Grafters.

All the murderers triggered the attack command instantly, bursting through the soil and leaping out of the ground to slash at Allyson.

This was a pre-arranged order by Corey; the fly flying away signified an attack signal.

He attacks indiscriminately on everyone except himself!

Dozens of knives and hammers, with the force to split mountains and shatter rocks, smashed towards the fake Allyson.

Allyson, the imposter who had already drawn her dagger to behead Corey, was startled by this sudden turn of events and attack.

She slipped her right hand into Corey's waistband.

With a tug upwards, she took a stretched skull mask, which was bound by a belt, into her hand.

It turns out that when she hugged Corey earlier, she used her own body to sense the objects on Corey's body and knew the location of the real mask.

immediately,

Like a spider, the woman nimbly dodged the attacks of the Skin-Grafters, then leaped up, landing on the falling blades.

Using the head of the nearest Skin-Grafters as leverage, he jumped into the air, scattering a large bag of powder in mid-air.

He then threw a rope to a nearby oak branch and swung out.

The powder exploded instantly, emitting countless sparks that burned the eyes of the Skin-Grafters, causing a brief moment of disruption.

In the blink of an eye,

Corey had already broken free of the nails, and the eyes of the Skin-Grafters had healed.

But the woman had already glided some distance.

The once shiny iron nails around Corey's waist have now completely rotted away, resembling rusted iron.

It's clearly a disposable item.

Corey's face turned extremely pale. He roared angrily and vomited a large amount of black, murky liquid.

A buzzing sound, accompanied by countless flies, swarmed towards the fake Allyson.

"Chase them! Chase them!"

"We must capture her, at all costs."

Not only did he fail to save Allyson, but the crucial point was that the mask that was taken away this time was real; it was his proof of identity and absolutely could not be lost.

The fake Allyson, who was jumping continuously between the branches, was also quite annoyed.

She guessed that the other party wouldn't obediently hand over the mask for an ordinary person, but she didn't expect that the other party would find so many bizarre warriors.

The strength of these people was simply beyond her ability to withstand.

During the escape, you also have to constantly dodge thrown machetes, chainsaws, hammers, and other such objects.

After running away for five minutes,

Using the soft swamp, the woman temporarily shook off the Skin-Grafters were charging around like tanks.

She removed the veil-like covering from her face, revealing a plain-looking woman's face.

I just breathed a sigh of relief.

With a quick roll, he hid behind a tree, then scrambled and crawled westward.

"Kill her!"

"You can't escape, feel the fear!"

Ten fear-seekers roared and led nearly a hundred Skin-Grafters out from their ambush site in the Swan Lake Swamp to the north.

"Damn it, isn't that monster's appearance exactly like the masked killer that appeared at Crystal Lake that everyone's been talking about online these past few days!"

"Why are there so many of them here?"

"Could it be that the mask at Crystal Lake has more than just the ability to enhance physical abilities, as speculated online, but actually possesses the power to replicate and generate new ones?"

The woman cursed under her breath, then took another detour, avoiding the large number of Skin-Grafters that had reappeared by the lake.

At this moment,

She felt surrounded by enemies.

Although she had considered all possible contingencies and planned nearly ten escape routes.

But she never considered what would happen if the other side had hundreds of freaks no weaker Corey.

The power of the Skin-Grafters, even when thrown, can cover an area of hundreds of meters, not to mention the fact that they are now organized into formations.

It was virtually impossible to break through the encirclement; they might have managed to escape at the beginning.

One reason was that Corey was caught off guard, and another was that the woman threw out a packet that could temporarily suppress the eerie ' Burial Powder '.

But the packet of fire powder, which was originally meant to ignite the eerie flames, only caused temporary damage to these monsters.

final,

As the Skin-Grafters were surrounded on all sides, the encirclement gradually narrowed.

The woman was completely trapped on the hillside.

Centered on Corey, within a radius of dozens of meters around him, countless buzzing flies filled the air.

Corey stepped past the Skin-Grafters, looked at the surrounded woman, and said fiercely:

"Where is Allyson? Tell me, and I'll let you die with some dignity!"

"I did return your young girlfriend, Allyson, to you back then!" The woman smiled charmingly, forgetting that she now appeared as just an ordinary middle-aged woman.

"What do you mean?" Upon hearing this, Corey immediately had a bad feeling.

The woman reached out and grabbed her mouth, pulling it forcefully to both sides.

Until its mouth was stretched so wide it was as big as a bowl, revealing a wet head inside.

That was Allyson's face with her eyes tightly closed.

This woman, like a snake spirit or a human-skinned monster, had somehow hidden Allyson inside her own body.

"You see, I did keep my word; I did indeed hand Allyson over to you back then."

"You even hugged her!"

"But look what you've done! You almost had your beloved girl killed. I barely managed to escape with her. I saved her; you should be thanking me."

"Let me leave, I promise she'll be alright. After all, she's just an ordinary person, we don't need her life!" the woman said with a coquettish laugh.

She released her hands, her mouth returned to normal size, and she gently twisted her waist, saying:

"Or do you want to kill me, along with your little girlfriend?"

"If that's the case, then so be it. At least I'll have someone to take the fall with me."

Upon hearing this, Corey was completely perplexed; this woman had him completely under her thumb.

He hadn't expected that the other party would imprison Allyson in this way; these Skin-Grafters didn't know the art of butchering without damaging the flesh.

"You're conflicted, so just let it go!"

"After all this time, I'm ready!"

The woman smiled and looked up at the sky. An airplane was flying overhead through the clouds.

Just as Corey was wondering what was going on, he saw the woman reach out and throw herself towards the plane, which then rose into the air as if an invisible rope had connected her to the aircraft.

It is rapidly taking off and flying away.

Are you ready?

"Perfect timing, I'm ready too!" A detached voice came from behind Corey.

The other Skin-Grafters around them did not react to the newcomer.

A wave of terror, like a curtain, swept directly towards the woman who was about to fly away.

The woman's mysterious connection with the plane was severed, and she fell towards the ground.

Wu Heng stepped forward and, using his outer layer of Spirit-Touch Power, caught the woman who had already lost consciousness.

Then, with a swift movement, a complete set of skin appeared in his hand, revealing Allyson, soaking wet, lying unconscious on the ground.

Her head hit the rubble on the ground with a loud 'thud,' leaving a faint trace of blood on the rubble.

Corey looked on with heartache, but did not step forward.

Instead, he respectfully bowed to Wu Heng, stood still, and waited for Wu Heng's instructions.

Wu Heng shook the leather in his hand. He had been observing from the shadows, confirming that the woman was indeed the black-clad Tower Guardian and that she had no hidden powers.

He struck in an instant, using explosive power to kill his opponent instantly.

"But is he really dead?" Wu Heng murmured.

It's important to know that the abilities of Tower Guardian are incredibly diverse, and each person will find different ways to survive.

Wu Heng thought for a moment, then took out a piece of Jason's Skin that was constantly twisting, crumpled the woman's skin into a ball, and stuffed it inside.

Jason Voorhees's skin touched the ball of flesh, instantly adhering to it, contracting into a ball, and completely enveloping it.

"Ah! What is this? No--!"

It shrank into an oval-shaped body resembling a fleshy embryo, and let out a shrill scream that was extinguished.

"So that's how it is!"

Wu Heng muttered to himself, then put the meatball away, turned to look at Corey, and tossed the Scream Mask back to him.

Corey took the mask and lowered his head somewhat guiltily.

However, Wu Heng did not reprimand him. Instead, he asked Corey how he planned to utilize the Skinner Legion.

Upon hearing this, Corey It Comes:

"Originally, I planned to develop followers in secret, but now that I have the Skinner Legion, I plan to first occupy Al-Sani City, and then expand outwards. This is a no-man's-land, inherently chaotic, where might makes right."

Wu Heng nodded. Since Corey had an idea, let's give it a try and see if it can bring him a surprise.

In any case, anything Corey does will bring Wu Heng a sense of terror.

After all, the mere presence of masked killers like Michael Myers and Corey in front of ordinary people would cause panic.

Wu Heng turned and left, because he sensed that the fake Jason Voorhees at the Crystal Lake had been touched.

It seems some things can't wait any longer!
