Chapter 206: Fate Brings Us Together
"Criminal? I'm a criminal? What crime did I commit?" The word criminal stimulated Lu Yu's nerves, and he recalled Fei Yuqing's words. At the time, he didn't understand, but now he does.
Apparently, these people have decided that I'm a criminal!
He initially thought they were only there to hold him accountable for the failed mission, but didn't expect to be directly regarded as a criminal.
"Stop pretending! The process of you murdering the research staff was recorded on surveillance; no matter how much you argue, it's useless." Qin Ming, direct and outspoken, quickly said.
"I murdered the research staff?" Lu Yu's face showed an exaggerated expression. Just because I failed to protect them, does that mean I killed them?
Moreover, I completed the task they gave me extremely well—suppressing the turmoil in the underground laboratory.
The monstrous creature in the underground lab capable of laying flesh worms was beaten half to death by me, hardly able to harm the research staff.
Lu Hongwei appearing later was not in my mission; the people he killed, why should I take the blame?
Just as Qin Ming was about to speak, a loud noise came from ahead, followed by screams and cries.
Bang! A person was struck flying, crashing through the windows of the third floor opposite. A giant, hideous, terrifying figure emerged from the corner of the alley.
Boom! A resilient flesh whip smashed down, crushing the vehicles on the street, blurring with blood the car windows.
Seeing the monster and the crushed vehicles, people nearby fled, opening doors and running, watching the approaching monster. Children cried out, adults' legs trembled, their limbs weakened, their minds blank...
Several people not yet dead within the crushed cars let out screams for help, the faint cries seeming insignificant amidst the crowd's panicked yelling.
Guo Jing and Ma Zhengyang quickly opened car doors to get out at the sound, seeing the two-story-high figure emerging from the building beside them, their faces drastically changed, exclaiming, "What the hell is this?"
They felt the presence of Demonic Qi from the monster, but it didn't feel like a demon.
The biggest difference was the Demonic Qi on the monster was concentrated, not spreading outward or eroding life.
In other words, this was a demon without infectious capacity.
Whether it has infection ability is yet to be concluded, as once it releases its internal Demonic Qi, it can erode the surrounding life.
The problem now is, with so many people gathered here, if the monster releases its internal Demonic Qi, everyone will become Demon Servants, everyone will demonize.
Lu Yu sensed a familiar aura and moved slightly. Qin Ming's hand condensed Spiritual Power into a short spike aimed at Lu Yu, demanding sternly, "Don't move!"
Glancing at Qin Ming, Lu Yu sat back in the distance, leaning against the chair's back.
Fine, if you say don't move, I won't move.
"You go evacuate the crowd, I'll deal with this monster," Ma Zhengyang said swiftly.
He leaped up, soaring seven or eight meters high, Spiritual Power erupting in mid-air, pushing his body towards the monster.
The monster, noticing Ma Zhengyang flying over, swung its flesh whips on both shoulders down on him. Ma Zhengyang did not dodge, the Spiritual Power in his hand condensing into a blade, slicing the monster's flesh whip.
The flesh whip split into two halves, barely separating ten centimeters before suddenly proliferating an enormous amount of flesh threads reconnecting it.
Almost instantly after being cut off, the monster's flesh whip regenerated its injury.
The flesh whip wound around to encircle Ma Zhengyang's body. Being momentarily careless, the whip caught him, his Spiritual Power bursting forth, unleashing a tremendous force, exploding the binding whip to shreds.
The pulverized flesh whip showered down like rain, the severed end's flesh quickly writhing, extending back to length, and the whip's tip emerged a sharp mouth.
Regarding the monster, Ma Zhengyang's face turned very grim, "What the hell is this? How is its regeneration so freakish, even more than demons!"
Although the monster's strength didn't match Ma Zhengyang's, its regeneration capacity made killing it extremely difficult for him.
After destroying the flesh whip several times, and it continually restoring to its original state, growing stronger, Ma Zhengyang rushed towards the monster's torso.
The monster didn't turn to look at him, with only the two shoulder flame whips disrupting Ma Zhengyang's approach. It opened its belly's large mouth, from which numerous tentacle-like tongues extended towards the person blasted into the third-floor window opposite.
In a moment, the tentacle tongues extracted a person from the third floor, wearing the temporary member badge of the Divine Warrior Group on his arm.
"Coordinates, coordinates, coordinates..."
The monster muttered unintelligible language repeatedly.
Being bound, the person desperately struggled, but the strength disparity made it futile.
Ma Zhengyang struck down with one hand, a solid Spiritual Power-formed flying blade cutting off numerous tentacle tongues, and the body twisted by the tentacles dropped down.
An ancient half-piece bronze key fell from his body, grasped by the severed tentacles, quickly writhing and bouncing towards the torso... the monster desired the half-piece bronze key.
Noticing the key, Ma Zhengyang hesitated slightly, then quickly reacted as Spiritual Power-condensed flying blades shattered the tentacles holding the key, Spiritual Power enveloping the key flying towards him.
The moment Spiritual Power touched the key, Ma Zhengyang understood exactly what it was.
"God Martial Realm Login Device!"
What does the monster want with the God Martial Realm Login Device? Whatever it wants it for, stopping it is the right move.
