I'm Scared

Hewan Residential Complex.

As a Natural Human residential complex, it had a comfortable environment, abundant greenery, and neatly arranged buildings.

Inside Building 702, mist swirled through the air, making Xiao Feng's face exceedingly indistinct.

Before him sat a large pot of boiling water. Broken internal organs bobbed within it, cooked pale white.

"Chen Yu... Wang Qianjun... and finally Fang Xiong."

"No rush... no rush. I only need to wait a little longer. With my brothers and sisters helping me, I'll be able to taste them with my own mouth."

An unnatural smile appeared on Xiao Feng's face. Then, unconcerned, he reached into the pot, fished out a pale lung streaked with red, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed carefully.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Urgent knocking suddenly rang out.

"Who is it?"

Xiao Feng's smile faded, and his expression returned to calm. He slowly approached the door and asked quietly.

At the same time, he looked through the peephole, only to find complete darkness on the other side. Someone had clearly blocked its view.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

There was no response from outside. Only the knocking grew more urgent.

"What the hell?"

The bizarre scene left Xiao Feng somewhat confused, but he immediately smiled indifferently.

"I never expected someone to deliver themselves to my door."

"Perfect. I'm running low on ingredients."

The next moment, he slowly opened the door.

Smack!

The instant he opened a crack, an arm forcibly jammed its way inside and then shoved the door wide open.

Swish!

Before Xiao Feng could react, a chilling white flash streaked before him and pierced straight through his heart.

Crack—crack—

The blade swept upward, tearing from his chest and directly severing Xiao Feng's left arm from the shoulder.

Behind the door, Chen Yu's incomparably grim face slowly appeared.

He knew Xiao Feng's address because Xiao Feng often bragged to him about owning a home in a Natural Human residential complex.

Chen Yu had taken a cab all the way to Hewan Residential Complex, climbed over the wall, secretly waited for a resident of one building to open the access gate, and then slipped inside.

Then he headed straight for Room 702, all for this one strike.

Unfortunately, the doorway was too narrow, and the door had only been opened halfway, so he could only stab once.

"Chen Yu... you're courting death!"

His heart had been pierced and his left arm severed, yet Xiao Feng seemed unable to feel pain. The corners of his mouth suddenly split toward both sides.

The extent of the split had already surpassed human limits. His mouth tore all the way to his ears, taking up half his face, while foul-smelling crimson mucus continuously dripped from the corners of his lips.

Within that gaping mouth were several sets of interlocking sharp teeth that grew in reverse, opening and closing.

"The one courting death is you!"

Boom!

The horrifying sight made Chen Yu's eyelids twitch. Fury immediately overwhelmed his fear.

Thunder Extreme Saber!

Blood Chant flashed, slashing directly toward Xiao Feng's neck.

But the doorway was too narrow, severely restricting Chen Yu's force. Blood Chant only cut halfway into Xiao Feng's neck before becoming firmly stuck.

"Hah... hah..."

Xiao Feng let out meaningless sounds from his mouth, as if mocking Chen Yu.

The next instant, his remaining right arm shot out, trying to seize Chen Yu's hand holding the saber.

At the same time, the mouth that occupied half his face opened to its widest and bit fiercely toward Chen Yu's head.

If that bite landed, half of Chen Yu's head would end up in Xiao Feng's mouth.

"What kind of monster is this?!"

With his Blade Eye talent, Chen Yu predicted Xiao Feng's movement and immediately released his grip on Blood Chant.

When Xiao Feng's bite missed, Chen Yu sent him sprawling with a straight kick.

Before he could rise, Chen Yu stepped forward and mounted Xiao Feng. Gripping Blood Chant tightly with both hands, he slammed it down like an ancient executioner's blade.

Splat!

The clerk had not lied. Blood Chant, worth thirteen thousand Red Radiance Coins, was indeed incomparably sharp.

It cleanly severed Xiao Feng's head.

"Chen... Yu..." The head's torn mouth opened and closed, producing a sound that made Chen Yu's scalp crawl.

"It's still not dead?!"

Seeing that Xiao Feng's body and head were still stubbornly wriggling under such circumstances, Chen Yu's hairs stood on end in terror.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Blood Chant fell upon the head again and again.

Only when that mouth, split to the ears, finally stopped moving did Chen Yu relax. A wave of soreness immediately spread through his entire body.

"This time, it should be completely dead, right?"

He stared fixedly at the bloody scraps and remains on the floor, sounding uncertain.

Step! Step! Step!

Just then, a string of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded from the elevator entrance outside.

"Don't tell me he has accomplices!"

Chen Yu had only just relaxed, but his body instantly tensed again. Gripping Blood Chant with both hands, he prepared to use the blind spot around the corner to unexpectedly slash whoever came.

"They're here!"

As the footsteps drew near, Thunder Extreme Saber swung out once more.

Crack—

Yet the newcomer easily caught the strike between his index finger and thumb. Then a familiar voice sounded.

"Chen Yu, why the hell did you come here?"

Fang Xiong's voice was full of astonishment.

Especially when he saw the blood all over the ground and Chen Yu's blood-covered hands, his astonishment deepened further.

After hearing Chen Yu's speculation during the day, Fang Xiong had not really believed it. But since he had nothing else to do, he had still decided to keep an eye on Xiao Feng for a few nights.

Although there was no evidence, Chen Yu had been so adamant that Fang Xiong could not simply brush it aside.

What if?

Yet the moment he arrived at Hewan Residential Complex, he smelled blood from far away.

The source of the bloody smell was unmistakably the floor where Xiao Feng lived. Feeling that something was wrong, Fang Xiong hurried upstairs.

Then he saw this scene.

"Teacher Fang, so it was you." Chen Yu let out a breath and collapsed onto the floor, still shaken. "Teacher Fang, I'm scared."

"I'm scared Xiao Feng might kill me while I'm asleep at night. I'm scared he'll find accomplices and ambush me in secret. I'm scared I'll die without ever knowing why."

Scared?

Fang Xiong glanced into the room behind Chen Yu. On the floor lay a head that had been hacked into an unrecognizable mess.

There was also a mangled heap of flesh and bones, its limbs severed and its torso chopped into several pieces.

This was supposed to be scared?!

Fang Xiong wore an expression that said, Are you fucking kidding me?

Shouldn't being scared mean hiding at home and trembling, praying not to become a target of the Evil God Cultists, praying to remain safe and sound?

Running to someone else's door under cover of night and brutally dismembering them—what kind of fear was that?

Who the hell was scared here?

"Teacher Fang, I wasn't lying to you. Xiao Feng really was corrupted by the Evil God and became an Evil God Cultist."

Chen Yu pointed at the remains behind him and emphasized his words.

"You were right. Your teacher misjudged him." Even though the head had been hacked to pulp, Fang Xiong could still make out that horrifying tear in its mouth.

Xiao Feng truly was an Evil God Cultist. There was no longer any doubt about that.

But Fang Xiong was still deeply surprised. He could not help asking, "Chen Yu, weren't you afraid you might have guessed wrong? What if Xiao Feng wasn't an Evil God Cultist?"

"If Xiao Feng wasn't an Evil God Cultist, then what you did would be intentional assault. Your entire life would have been ruined!"

"Weren't you afraid of that possibility?"

Faced with Fang Xiong's question, Chen Yu repeated the same words.

"Teacher Fang, I'm scared!"
