In a crimson underground parking lot in Xichang.
A three-meter-tall, pitch-black Earth Priest monster looked around at its surroundings. “Where is this? Where are the other Earth Priests?”
It was too quiet here. There was not a single person around, only rows of empty cars.
Surveying the area, the black monster turned and walked toward the stairs on the left. The space here was too cramped, making it inconvenient for a fight.
Beep, beep, beep!
Suddenly, a sharp car alarm blared from a vehicle to its left.
The black monster whipped its head around to look at the white car. In its eyes, there was nothing there—not even the sound of a living creature's breathing.
Something is wrong! With a solemn expression, it strode toward the white car.
They were currently in the middle of a campaign against the Liu family; nothing that happened now could be a mere coincidence.
Beep, beep, beep!
Just as it drew close, a black SUV to its right also began to blare. The black monster immediately spun around to look.
Even at such close range, there was absolutely nothing.
“Who is it? Who the hell is playing tricks on me? Show yourself if you dare!” it snarled at the black car.
With that, it strode over and kicked the black car.
Bang!
With a single kick, the hood of the nearly two-ton vehicle dented inward, and the car slid back four or five meters.
Yet even so, no living creature emerged from the surroundings.
This is too bizarre. No, I can't mess around with whatever this is in here. Seeing this, the black monster quickly walked toward the exit.
Beep, beep, beep!
In the next second, the alarms of every single car in the parking lot went off simultaneously.
Beep—!!!
The horns of all the cars blared, deafeningly loud within the underground space, their headlights flashing rapidly.
Ignoring it, the black monster focused solely on heading toward the stairs. Trying to play me? How ridiculous. Do you think I'm some ordinary human? You'd better hope I don't catch you later, or I'll tear you to shreds!
Tap!
Just as one of its feet stepped onto the stairs, a pale, three-clawed hand gripped its shoulder.
“Where... do you think you are going?” A massive, pale face hung upside down, slowly lowering itself from above to look the black monster in the eyes.
Its mouth was abnormally large, its eyes entirely white, and its face wore a bizarre grin. It bared its white teeth and bit down toward the black monster's head.
Faced with this, the black monster found itself completely paralyzed, as if frozen in place; only its eyes could move.
Under its resentful gaze, the massive white mouth bit hard into its neck.
Splurt!
A massive chunk of black flesh was torn away, exposing the trachea and bone beneath, and dark blood sprayed outward.
Looking from a distance, an Evil Spirit stood behind the black monster. It possessed a body two and a half meters tall, but its neck was seven or eight meters long, arching over the monster's head.
One of its hands pressed down on the monster's shoulder, and threads of black mist connected to the bleeding wound.
Splurt!
With another bite, the black monster's head fell off. Only the sound of the Evil Spirit chewing echoed in the underground parking lot.
Parking Lot Evil Spirit
Parking Lot Urban Legend: When a target fails to leave the parking lot after hearing car alarms three times, they will be trapped inside to become food for the Evil Spirit!
Meanwhile, in the North District, a woman from the Special Bureau wearing a suit and a high ponytail walked down the street with a vigilant expression.
She pulled out her phone, only to find that it had long been damaged under the red light.
Where on earth is this? I have a bad feeling about this. The woman swept her gaze across the street and the surrounding skyscrapers, which towered over a hundred meters tall.
She noticed that the onlookers who had previously been hiding in the high-rise buildings to watch the spectacle had all vanished.
With no other choice, the woman kept her eyes on the street signs and continued forward.
Within the high-rises on both sides, on floors hidden from her sight...
...translucent Evil Spirits were hunched over, devouring the people who had hidden inside.
“Sob, sob, sob...” Not long after she advanced down the street, she heard the sound of crying coming from an alley to her left.
Her expression hardened. Her left hand began to emit a faint white light as she walked toward the crying sound in the alley.
Calling it an alley was generous; it was merely a gap between two skyscrapers, barely two meters wide.
When she reached the entrance of the gap, she saw a little boy covered in blood lying on the ground. The crying sound was indeed coming from him.
“Little boy, where are your parents?” Seeing this, the woman did not approach. Instead, she grew even more vigilant, and the white light in her hand began to condense.
When she was out dealing with Specters and Evil Spirits, she had encountered more than her fair share of entities pretending to be human.
“Sob, sob, sob...” The little boy continued to cry.
Seeing this, the woman raised an eyebrow and suddenly barked, “Damned Evil Spirit, don't you dare think you can deceive me!”
She slashed a blade of light in her hand toward the little boy.
Splurt!
The little boy split clean in two, and the crying stopped. She looked at this scene, finding it a bit strange.
“To think you actually dared to use a human as bait to lure me. Don't let me catch you.”
The woman turned and walked out of the gap. But the moment she stepped onto the street, her expression shifted slightly.
Standing outside was a ten-meter-tall humanoid Specter. In its hand, it held a bizarre weapon constructed from five humans bound together by their limbs.
Looking at the woman, it grinned wickedly and swung its human weapon, causing the people bound to it to shriek in agony. “Ahhh!!!”
“How did a Specter slip in here?” The woman knit her brows, but she stepped forward fearlessly.
It was just a single Specter; she could easily handle it.
Thud, thud, thud!
Just then, a heavy, pounding sound echoed from the main road behind her.
She instinctively turned around. A massive ball of flesh, four to five meters wide, was bouncing down the distant road toward her.
On the flesh ball, dozens of vacant faces stared at her greedily. “Delicious... delicious...”
“Two appearing at the same time? It'll be a bit of a challenge, but still winnable.” White light began to glow from the woman's other hand.
Just as she was about to charge forward...
“Sob, sob, sob!” A chilling cry sounded right beside her ear.
The woman's body stiffened. When did it get there?
In the next instant, she felt her vision tumble downward. As it rolled, she saw the little boy she had just sliced clinging to her back, staring at her with a venomous expression.
Such horrific scenes were playing out across Xichang City at every passing second.
Under Tiangong's teleportation, whether they were humans or Earth Priests, any lapse in attention would result in them being ambushed and slaughtered by Specters and Evil Spirits.
Inside this city of slaughter...
...within an underground shopping mall, Chu Jizhen stood in place, his eyes vacant.
All around him, the mangled corpses of dozens of Specters lay crushed and discarded on the ground, while several dissipated Evil Spirits left behind fading wisps of black mist.
“Are these the only tricks you have?” Chu Jizhen asked listlessly, looking around the quiet mall.
Clang, clang, clang!
The sound of rattling chains echoed, followed by a man's voice. “Chu Jizhen, it was my great regret that I didn't get to fight you last time.”
