Chapter 213 Death Reappears
Thick tentacles brushed across the back!
The fabric is torn!

Another long and narrow whip mark appeared on the wound that had just been sutured in the morning.

Sweat and splashing sewage flowed over the squirming flesh.

It would be terrible to get injured in this environment!
If you just think about it, you will know that there are countless bacteria and viruses floating in the air.

Due to psychological effects, the injury on my back has started to hurt and itch.

Chu Zihang gritted his teeth, turned around, forced the octopus back with his pistol, and pulled the woman up to continue running.

His eyes kept scanning above his head and the stone walls on both sides, trying to find an exit!
Based on the first encounter with these monsters, they will try to avoid being in public.

Therefore, as long as they can come to the ground, these octopuses will most likely retreat.

The woman's breathing behind him became heavier.

Chu Zihang knew.

Time is really running out!
……

boom!
The last wisp of smoke dissipated.

Chu Zihang looked at the octopus with bullet holes on its head and threw away the empty pistol to reduce the weight.

Puddles of water on the flagstones were frequently splashed.

He could feel the woman's strength dwindling.

There were shadowy figures behind him and countless octopus heads were chasing him relentlessly.

Chu Zihang felt anxious.

These monsters are not very strong, but you must have enough firepower or sharp weapons to deal with them.

But unfortunately, he has nothing now.

suddenly!

Just when he was lost in thought...

A powerful pull came from the arm that fell behind!

Chu Zihang turned around immediately.

I saw a tentacle grab the woman's waist and pull her back violently.

Chu Zihang's pupils shrank, and he reacted quickly by tightening the woman's wrist, moving his feet sideways to increase friction, and leaning back to silently exert force.

But at this moment!

Another tentacle stretched out from the darkness and quickly wrapped around his neck!

The air in his throat was suddenly squeezed out and Chu Zihang's face turned red!

shit!
Chu Zihang looked at the shadow that was stirring in the darkness, and immediately loosened one hand, trying to bite the thing wrapped around his neck in his mouth.

--Let it drain out with pain, just like in the morning.

But, he failed!

The woman and the suffocation made Chu Zihang unable to use his remaining strength to pull his stretched tentacles into an arc.

But the woman understood his actions.

She bent her upper body, looked at the smelly tentacles around her waist, and bit them without hesitation!
A painful roar suddenly came from behind.

Perhaps because it was the same monster, the tentacles tied around Chu Zihang's neck also softened in an instant.

He pulled it over as well, tearing it hard with his teeth.

The two tentacles finally loosened.

Chu Zihang did not stop. Before other octopuses could take action, he grabbed the woman and turned the corner.

……

I don’t know how much time passed before the footsteps behind me disappeared.

Only two violent gasps were left in the huge hole.

Chu Zihang slowly stopped.

He leaned against the damp wall and breathed the fetid air into his lungs, his eyes gloomy beneath his fine hair.

Why can't I find the wellhead?!
"Adam!"

At this moment, the woman behind him suddenly called him.

Chu Zihang calmed down and was about to say something to comfort her, but when he turned around he saw a pale face.

The woman still had blood from tearing the octopus at the corner of her mouth. She slowly sat down on the ground and covered her swollen ankle with her hand.

Ankle injury...

At a time like this...

Chu Zihang saw the problem at a glance.

He squatted down, pressed gently with his hands, frowned and asked: "Can you hold on a little longer? I will find the wellhead soon, then..."

"Adam!"

The woman suddenly interrupted him, stared at him blankly for a moment, took out a wallet and stuffed it into Chu Zihang's arms.

"Listen, Adam! This contains all our family savings. The bank card password is your birthday... I left the yacht on the southeast beach where you often go. I remember you should be able to drive it... Going east will lead you to a relatively remote place in Devonshire, but don't stay there for too long..."

She kept chattering, reaching out to touch Chu Zihang's cheek, pulling the corner of her mouth and showing him a smile: "Okay! Let's go!"

"I won't abandon you!" Chu Zihang looked at her seriously.

"I know, I know... this is not abandonment... you need to leave here first so I can call the police... Mom is not that stupid, I will be fine."

The woman's hands were shaking and the fear in her eyes was clearly visible, but she still made up a suitable excuse to ask her son to leave first.

Chu Zihang pursed his lips.

He looked at the woman and suddenly remembered the man who was left on the viaduct behind the speeding Maybach in 2004...

What was he thinking at that time?
Are you scared?

Chu Zihang took a deep breath and took out the black keypad phone from his pocket.

Light up the screen...

Now, it is 5:45 pm.

There are only 15 minutes left before the four-hour limit.

pop~
pop~
There was a sticky sound echoing in the passage.

There is no time to hesitate!
Chu Zihang's eyes fixed, he threw the phone behind him, bent down, and carried the woman on his back.

He didn't know whether the octopus following behind him had any impact on his positioning, but he didn't want to take any risk now.

This time, he never wants to live alone again!
"It'll be okay... I swear, I'll get you out!"

There seemed to be flames burning in Chu Zihang's pupils.

##
The sky was still white, but the white seemed to be mixed with blue, which softened the dazzling brightness.

After school.

Lu Mingfei held his schoolbag loosely and yawned at the school gate: "It's so relaxing!"

He thought back to the noisy day, the indifferent teacher, and the almost zero homework, and suddenly felt that this school was really great!

"No! We can't go on like this!"

Abbott followed behind with a look of regret on his face, and kept muttering: "I want to be a policeman. If I continue like this, I won't even pass the GCSE exams... I must study hard from tomorrow!"

"...What about today?" Lu Mingfei looked at him with disdain.

Abbott was very conflicted, and after a long while he said loudly, "Forget it! Let's relax for one last afternoon. Starting tomorrow I will never go out to play again!"

Lu Mingfei's mouth twitched, and he saw many familiar shadows in this child.

Abbott has already begun planning his "last" day off with great interest.

"Hey! Ryan! Do you want to come to my house and play games? Invite Daniel, and we'll play together?"

Daniel?
Lu Mingfei heard another unfamiliar name and naturally refused: "No, I have something to do at home today, let's talk next time."

"……All right."

Abbott was a little disappointed.

He pulled his hair in distress, and then reminded her after thinking of something: "You must be careful! The murderer roaming around your place has not been caught yet, so make sure to lock the door before you go to bed."

Lu Mingfei paused and raised his voice subconsciously: "Murderer?! You said there is a murderer in the area where I live?!"

"correct."

Abbott didn't understand why he reacted so strongly: "Didn't Daniel's father die yesterday? You live very close to me, who knows if the murderer has gone far."

The corner of Lu Mingfei's mouth twitched. He didn't know that his identity had such implications.

but……

Yesterday?
So is the murderer a human or a dragon like the snakehead?

Lu Mingfei didn't know. He hadn't had time to exchange information with John last night before he had already entered the body of Ryan.

Full of worry, the two parted ways at an intersection.

Abbott waved goodbye to him and said, "Forget it. Since you're not coming to play games, I'll just go to where there are more policemen and join in the fun."

Lu Mingfei was stunned: "Join in the fun?"

"That's right!" Abbott laughed, "If I can catch the fugitive, I will have made a great contribution!"

Lu Mingfei watched him running away with a twitching mouth, feeling that naughty kids were really scary.

##
No.

No.

still none……

Chu Zihang didn't know how many places he ran to, but those densely packed manhole covers seemed to have disappeared, and he didn't find even one.

Perhaps due to the effect of throwing away the phone, the octopuses never appeared in the sight again.

But the footsteps that were looming behind him forced him to not stop.

"Adam, put me down. My feet are better now and I can walk with you."

The woman looked at her son's pale face with heartache, rolled up her sleeves, and wiped his sweaty temples with a relatively clean cloth.

Chu Zihang said nothing and held up the woman's hands even harder.

suddenly!

His eyes lit up!
Not far ahead, several metal poles were quietly embedded in the stone, and a round manhole cover shone at the top.

Chu Zihang quickened his pace and quickly came to the metal pole. He asked the woman to sit on the ground, climbed up and pushed the manhole cover away.

A dim white light shone in.

Chu Zihang didn't hesitate. He jumped down again and helped the woman up: "You go first!"

The woman pursed her lips and did not refuse. She knew very well that every second was precious at a time like this.

Watching the woman climbing quickly, Chu Zihang faced the direction where the footsteps came from, silently on guard.

……

But now!
The light hanging overhead suddenly disappeared!

Chu Zihang looked up instantly.

He saw a ferocious monster blocking the wellhead!

Its skin and flesh were turned inside out, revealing its empty chest cavity like a blooming flower, its ribs open, and its sharp white bones covered with sharp teeth!
It was making a shrill cry and moving towards the woman.

"Adam! Little..."

An interrupted exclamation floated down from overhead.

The heavy rain drops on the boy's raised cheeks.

Chu Zihang's eyes were about to burst out!
He subconsciously reached out his hand...

But it was too late to stop it!

Just like the Venus flytrap closing its mouth.

The upper half of the woman's body was torn apart directly!
Pieces of flesh and blood and internal organs fell to the ground with a crackling sound from the half-crack, and the splattering blood mist painted the stone wall and clothes red.

Chu Zihang stared blankly, his confused mind still unable to react to what was happening...

boom!
The monster's body fell to the ground.

Its chest bulged and squirmed like a well-fed python.

Half of the woman's body fell in front of him and twitched.

Chu Zihang just felt dazed, and the surging anger was about to burn through his rationality!
He looked at the dark figure in front of him expressionlessly.

Once again, the wellhead was illuminated by light...

In the dark shadows on the stone slab, tentacles are wriggling!
##
In the alley, Abbott was tapping the lime on the wall out of boredom.

After running around following the police car, he was undoubtedly driven away and could only kill time here.

"Hey, let's go home."

Abbott looked up at the darkening sky, kicked stones out of boredom, and slowly walked home.

But this time.

Suddenly, a strange sound came from below not far away.

Abbott's expression changed, and after hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help his curiosity and approached carefully.

##
The monster's roar finally disappeared.

Chu Zihang panted and slowly came back to his senses, only to find that the monster in front of him had been torn into pieces by him!

He stared blankly at his arms that had turned into tentacle-like bodies, and no one knew what he was thinking in his empty eyes.

Om-!
Om-!
Suddenly, there was a clear vibration in my ears.

Chu Zihang took a moment to react before slowly walking towards the direction where the sound came from.

His body was not unscathed either. His left arm and most of his shoulder were swallowed by the monster, and the bones were shaking in the air.

After a long time, he lowered his head.

On the floor in the corner was the black cell phone that he had thrown away.

After a long silence, Chu Zihang bent down to take it.

The tentacles on the left arm also gathered together into a palm in the process.

……

beep—

"Unfortunately, clearance failed."

An emotionless voice came from the other end of the phone.

Chu Zihang didn't say anything, he leaned against the wall, blood flowing down in a winding manner.

"However, out of humanitarianism, I can tell you some very interesting news."

The harsh voice with electricity laughed and said: "Chu Zihang, you have been polluted."

Chu Zihang's pupils remained motionless, and after two or three minutes he spoke hoarsely, "You mean I can turn into tentacles?"

"More than that."

The mechanical voice continued.

"Remember the blood you swallowed this morning? Just like when the concentration of hybrid blood is too high, it will turn you into a confused Deadpool... When your human body comes into contact with dragon blood, the spirit that resides in it will also be contaminated by this power."

Chu Zihang asked in a daze: "What do you mean..."

"To put it simply, you will see hallucinations!"

The electronic voice said: "According to my observation, whenever you firmly believe in something, the scene in your eyes will move closer to that direction, causing hallucinations."

Hallucination?

Chu Zihang was stunned, and he suddenly felt his heart beating faster and faster.

"…What hallucinations did I have?"

"That's what I'm going to ask you."

The electronic laughter was so harsh: "But I can tell you... you killed a lot of people today. You are really decisive in killing."

Chu Zihang closed his eyes.

This strong man rarely shows such an expression.

He thought of the corpse with its eyes open in the morgue… Was it an illusion because he felt there must be something wrong with Ian’s body?

What about monsters that return to their "original form" after death?
Are they really human?

Did the doctor grow tentacles because he felt that clues to the black phone couldn't be obtained so easily?

The policeman turned into a monster because he thought that an octopus monster would definitely appear during the chase?

Chu Zihang really wanted to say that this was all fake, but the completely different strengths of the two monsters made it impossible for him to trick himself into believing it.

He suddenly didn't know what to do.

"So be it."

The black phone was hung up by the other end, and a meaningful echo floated out from the speaker.

"Thank you for letting me watch a fairly good entertainment show."

"Well, I look forward to seeing you next time."
