Scarlet filled Xu Ye's vision. The bloody red light shining from within nearly froze his thoughts.
Just then, Zheng Chengdong turned his head.
His body stayed still as his neck twisted a full hundred and eighty degrees. In his grasp, Belin was still struggling desperately.
"Save me!"
"Quick, this man has gone mad! He's been contaminated!"
"Anderson!"
Belin's face had turned purple, her hair was disheveled, and blood stained the corner of her mouth.
Even [Swamp Space] couldn't withstand his aberration energy. It had been shattered outright.
Once an Awakened underwent aberration, they would turn directly into a tier 3 Aberrant. A mere Sequence 8 like her stood no chance against him.
"Lady Belin!" Anderson roared. He drew his pistol and aimed at Zheng Chengdong. "Rest assured, I will save you! As a gentleman, I would never allow any lady to come to harm..."
Crack, crack, crack!
Just then, horizontal fissures appeared across Zheng Chengdong's skin. A moment later, they opened.
They were eyes, eyes burning with hatred, densely packed eyes covering Zheng Chengdong's face.
Four eyes, ten, twenty...
Each eye pressed against the next. It was enough to kill someone with trypophobia on the spot.
Then, as though spreading like an allergic rash, the fissures began creeping down his neck, chest, and arms.
They opened.
Eyes!
Eyes!
Eyes everywhere!
Anderson felt his insides shrivel in terror, then nearly wet himself. He had never seen such a disgusting monster.
No!
Actually, he had!
It reminded him of his school days in Sky City. Whenever he switched on his game console, his homeroom teacher's eyes would appear in the window of the classroom's back door.
He immediately declared with righteous solemnity, "Lady Belin, as a gentleman, I believe acting now would endanger your life. I need to devise a sound plan."
