At dusk, the streetlights had not yet turned on, and the sky was already dark.
Two figures entered the alley entrance one after the other.
For Yu Wenjin, the biggest difference between men and women was that when they saw its combat stance, women’s screams were louder.
Even if its knife-waving speed was fast enough and the angle precise enough, it couldn’t guarantee that the prey wouldn’t make any sound.
So he preferred hunting men; the movement would be a bit smaller, but this classification method was still somewhat crude, without respecting individual differences.
So it got smarter later on. It would generally tail the prey for a while, wait until they reached a remote area, then fling out a bone blade, stabbing at the position slightly below the prey’s back heart.
This approach had always gone smoothly.
Of course, during its hunting periods, it had also received recruitment from kindred, but it refused.
It didn’t like grouping up; only cattle and sheep would flock together.
This day, as usual, it came out from home to forage again.
This time, the prey it was tailing was a boy of high school student age. It wasn’t too satisfied with this prey’s quality; the build wasn’t sturdy enough.
It was just that luck wasn’t good today; it hadn’t encountered better ones, and plus this prey had been wandering these unmanned remote alleys, forcing it to reluctantly accept this gift.
Rip~
Its head tore open, transforming into a large number of indescribable flesh strips.
The end of one flesh strip turned into a sharp bone blade, suddenly shooting fiercely toward the boy ahead.
Having done this many times already, its action was skilled, as if it had already seen the scene of the bone blade entering flesh, that boy collapsing on the spot.
But,
Clang~
A crisp sound of metal collision rang out.
Lu Bai turned around holding Long Fang, a very kind smile on his face.
Yu Wenjin was a bit stunned.
It hadn’t seen clearly what Lu Bai had done just now, nor did it know where that exaggeratedly long katana had been pulled from.
“Is it that strange?”
Seeing the parasitic organism in front of him frozen in place, Lu Bai walked toward it unhurriedly: “I’ve been wandering for so long, and you’re the first parasitic organism to come knocking.”
After leaving the hospital, he had proactively headed to remote areas.
During that time, he had encountered two death fighters blocking the way, but both had been turned into points by him.
Even if the remaining death fighters all possessed gold level abilities, as long as they weren’t in a group, with the existence of [Flash Time], instant kills could be easily achieved.
“How are you…”
Staring at Lu Bai gradually approaching, this parasitic organism didn’t know how to react.
It was the first time he had encountered such a strange human. After showing an attack stance, not only did the other not run, but he let him walk over.
He didn’t seem scared by its appearance?
Just as this parasitic organism fell into contemplation, Lu Bai abruptly disappeared from its sight.
Crack~
It heard the sound of bones breaking, and it was coming from its own body.
Immediately after, a powerful force transmitted from its waist, directly kicking it to the side against a trash can.
Yu Wenjin suddenly woke up, becoming unusually angry.
It had never been beaten like this by a human before.
“I’m going to eat you!”
Countless flesh strips on its head danced wildly, like a Cthulhu-style flesh monster.
Lu Bai indifferently leaned over, chuckling lightly: “Oh, that’s really scary. Trouble to coil up the flesh strips.”
This parasitic organism didn’t comply. Helplessly, Lu Bai had to slash diagonally with a knife, failing to sever all the flesh and blood on the neck, leaving some flesh buds intact.
It didn’t have much influence; it just wasn’t very good-looking in Lu Bai’s view.
Plop~
Separated from the body and losing blood circulation, the flesh ball quickly shriveled.
Lu Bai was a bit disgusted but still squatted down to rummage in Yu Wenjin’s pocket.
Key, mobile phone, and wallet.
Finding these three was enough.
……
The sky was getting late.
Duplex apartment building outside the third ring.
Lu Bai found where Yu Wenjin lived according to the food delivery software info on the mobile phone.
He tried the keys on the keyring one by one, smoothly opening the house door without much effort.
The situation in the house was about as he expected.
Not much trace of life could be found, yet the floor, desk, and such were very clean.
“Let’s rest here for a bit first.”
Lu Bai walked to the sofa and sat down, his back against the soft sofa backrest, his expression showing some laziness.
This was the good thing about parasitic organisms.
They wouldn’t create living trash; the house was neat and clean, and it was a solo residence.
Um, don’t ask why it was a solo residence.
Anyway, what hotel could be more hidden and comfortable than this?
Such a place wouldn’t be checked by anyone in a short time.
The only death fighter who knew his position, Lu Bai was hoping they would come knocking.
Of course, best if they came one by one.
……
Street-side open-air food stall.
Two boys in work clothes sat facing each other, with several plates of braised dishes on the small square table in between.
Strangely, they weren’t drinking alcohol; both had a cup of juice with a straw inserted, completely out of place with the rowdy environment nearby.
Notably, the position they chose happened to allow a view of the duplex apartment building across the street.
One of the work-clothed men raised his cup and shook it: “Chang Shun Ge, how about getting some beer? This stuff really sucks.”
Chang Shun Ge, sitting opposite him, picked up a peanut and tossed it into his mouth, slowly chewing and swallowing before turning to look at the duplex apartment building across the street.
“Bear with it. I reckon quite a few people will make moves tonight; let’s try to keep our heads clear.”
“What are we afraid of? With you and me brothers teaming up, who can stand against us?”
The work-clothed man looked full of confidence.
During the two brothers’ idle chat, a man with bronze skin suddenly dragged a plastic chair over and sat beside them.
Both looked toward him vigilantly.
Seeing this, Chang Shun Ge grinned: “I see no seats here; mind sharing a table?”
The work-clothed man’s right hand subtly moved under the table, cursing under his breath.
“Get lost, don’t ruin bro’s mood.”
“So impolite?” Chang Shun Ge placed his left hand on the table.
“Here’s the thing, friends. Us two brothers aren’t used to eating with strangers; don’t make it hard for us.”
Chang Shun Ge seemed to realize something, softening his tone a bit.
Who knew Chang Shun Ge wouldn’t buy it at all, sneering coldly.
“Make it hard?”
His left thumb hooked under the table surface, suddenly exerting force.
Crash~
The small square table was directly flipped by him, then he raised a foot to kick the chest of the work-clothed man who was about to draw a knife.
This kick was powerful and heavy, causing the work-clothed man to fall backward and roll.
The bowls and plates with braised dishes shattered into pieces, some small fragments piercing into the work-clothed man.
Chang Shun Ge abruptly stood up.
“Making a move now, are you crazy!?”
