CHAPTER 24: CHAPTER 24 FLESH MONSTER

Under the watchful eyes of numerous New York police officers, Chu Feng entered the main entrance of the building alone. From a perspective invisible to ordinary people, a massive barrier had already tightly encircled the building.

Inside the building, the power had long been cut off. Areas untouched by sunlight were completely shrouded in darkness. Fortunately, thanks to his incredibly high Attributes, Chu Feng could now disregard the darkness within. He crossed the deserted first-floor lobby and cautiously approached the building’s stairwell. Peeking inside, he found nothing Bizarre in the pitch-black stairway. Continuing downward with extreme caution, he kept the AA-12 ready in his grasp.

As Chu Feng rounded the corner of the stairs, a dark gun barrel appeared in his line of sight. At the stairway exit by the first basement floor, he spotted a shadowy figure. Unseen by his target, Chu Feng decisively fired a shot.

"BANG!"

The Cultist in the darkness never expected that, while he was hiding perfectly, a bullet would suddenly strike him. The Cultist, riddled with bloody holes, collapsed to the ground, breathless.

As the tremendous gunshot echoed through the stairwell, the sound of rapid footsteps approached from the parking lot. It seemed a large number of Cultists were converging on his location.

A thought crossed Chu Feng’s mind, and he activated the Golden Light Spell. A faint golden light immediately enveloped him.

"Here’s something nice for you!"

Hiding at the stairwell entrance, Chu Feng flipped his palm, and four grenades instantly appeared in his hand. He pulled the pins. As he listened to the footsteps drawing ever closer, a smile curled the corner of his mouth. Chu Feng then turned and thrust out his hands, tossing all four grenades into the parking lot.

"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"

After four consecutive intense explosions, dust billowed within the parking lot, and broken bricks scattered everywhere. Amid the swirling dust, a series of miserable howls rose.

"AH... AH..."

"Looks like they’re not quite dead yet!" Chu Feng frowned, very displeased that the Cultists in the parking lot could still make noise.

With a flip of his palm, four more grenades appeared. Using the same method and the same motion, four grenades once again followed a perfect arc into the parking lot.

After four more violent explosions, the wailing inside finally began to fade.

"That’s more like it!" Chu Feng nodded in satisfaction and deactivated the Golden Light Spell.

Once the dust cleared, Chu Feng readied his AA-12 again and carefully entered the parking lot. The nearby Cultists had died horrific deaths; many were mangled beyond recognition. Only a few Cultists farther away still seemed to be breathing.

It seems there are some advantages to being at the back!

"BANG! BANG! BANG..."

But not many advantages!

After several more shotgun blasts, there were no longer any living Cultists before Chu Feng.

"Hmm?"

Just as Chu Feng was about to continue exploring, he suddenly felt as if something had appeared in the space around him. At the same time, the Spatial Perception (Passive) skill on his system panel flickered momentarily.

I knew it. How could a Cult rely solely on a few Cultists?

He sighed, slowly turning around.

He saw the shattered remains of the Cultists behind him. They seemed to be pulled together by some unknown force. Numerous pieces of blood-soaked flesh began to slowly aggregate, resembling the flesh-and-blood monsters from horror films.

Chu Feng certainly wasn’t going to let it successfully amalgamate.

The muzzle of his AA-12 began to incessantly spurt flames.

"BANG! BANG! BANG..."

The monster of flesh and blood, not yet fully formed, was constantly shattered by Chu Feng’s relentless gunfire, only to reassemble and then break apart again.

What’s going on? Chu Feng narrowed his eyes, looking at the monster that refused to perish. The Exorcism efficacy of the AA-12 is undeniable; Evil Spirits have already verified its power! But what’s the deal with this monster that keeps re-forming in front of me?

After casually swapping in a fresh drum magazine for the AA-12, Chu Feng produced two grenades. The two grenades instantly merged into the writhing mass of flesh in mid-air.

"BOOM!"

"BOOM!"

Following the two loud explosions, amidst the splattering blood and organs, two huge holes appeared in the monster’s increasingly gigantic body.

Wait! What is that?

In a gap revealed inside the monster, a human-faced meatball, pulsating like a heart, caught Chu Feng’s eye. Although the writhing flesh quickly obscured it, Chu Feng’s eyes instantly lit up.

That must be your core, right?

Instantly, four more grenades appeared in his hand. Just as the monster’s freshly grown tentacles swept towards him, Chu Feng jumped to avoid them. The tentacles only managed to swat away the four safety pins already falling from the primed grenades.

"Here’s a big present for you!"

The four grenades flew from his hands. Propelled by Chu Feng’s immense Strength, they were akin to cannonballs, instantly burying themselves deep into the monster’s body.

"One, two, three..." Chu Feng counted aloud, simultaneously blasting away the monster’s attacking tentacles with his shotgun.

Five seconds later, four powerful explosions erupted on cue. The monster’s body was immediately torn to shreds by the tremendous force of the blasts.

Now’s the time!

Seeing the human-faced meatball exposed in the holes blasted through the monster, Chu Feng charged forward. His AA-12 fired nonstop, shattering all the writhing flesh that attempted to block the opening again. Meanwhile, some unobstructed buckshot struck the human face directly.

"AHHH..."

A pain-filled scream emanated from some unknown part of the human-faced meatball. The writhing flesh gradually became sluggish, no longer able to block the pellets from the AA-12’s muzzle. By the time Chu Feng emptied the new drum magazine, the human-faced meatball had been blasted into a heap of shredded meat. Naturally, the Evil Spirit within it also turned to ash.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have killed an Evil Spirit. You will receive the following rewards:

1. Strength Attribute: 6 points, Physique Attribute: 5 points, Mental Attribute: 5 points, Spiritual Power Attributes: 8 points

2. Lifespan: 3.4 years

3. Skills:

Demon-breaking Fist (Active): Upon activating this skill, the Host’s fists can inflict significant damage on the Bizarre.

Special Effect: Hitting a possessed person can expel the Bizarre from their body."

Seeing the special effect in the skill description, Chu Feng’s eyes immediately sparkled.

Excellent! With this, Exorcism will be so much easier from now on.

He recalled that when previously faced with possessed individuals, he had to let his Spiritual Body leave his own body. Now, with this skill, I should be able to save a lot of effort!

"CLICK."

In the dark underground parking lot, a crisp mechanical sound suddenly echoed as Chu Feng loaded a brand-new drum magazine into his AA-12.

Just as Chu Feng stepped over the monster’s remains on the ground, intending to move forward, a rustling sound suddenly reached his ears.
