Chapter 694 New Companions!
The numerous vengeful spirits that had been controlling his movements vanished instantly.
His body was also severely injured once again, and some scorch marks appeared on the surface.
He immediately let out a muffled groan.
Although he managed to shake off the ghostly figures, unfortunately, his precious living corpses had also been mostly dealt with.
Without his control as their master, these zombies would naturally find it difficult to unleash their true fighting power.
Stanik, who was not far away, immediately rushed over from there.
Meanwhile, on the other side, in the residential area.
A look of ecstasy spread across the werewolf's face as he savored the screams coming from ahead.
The next moment, Holmes's wife, who was unconscious, was torn in two.
The werewolf once again began to creep onto the ground, licking the blood splattered there.
"No!"
Awakened, Elinda's expression changed drastically, and extreme grief appeared on her face.
She instinctively crawled forward, trying to use her body to shield her mother.
Seemingly drawn by an extremely fragrant aroma, the werewolf raised its head again.
His ferocious smile was immediately and without reservation revealed.
He never easily refuses food that is offered to him.
The werewolf straightened up and slowly moved forward.
Just then, a slightly strange incantation rang out.
Holmes, immersed in grief, was oblivious to his own sorrow, watching as his daughter was about to die next.
This guy finally remembered that he had bought that peculiar rune at the underground trading post.
After the rune was activated, the werewolf's body immediately froze in place.
Reason had completely vanished from his eyes, replaced by pure, extreme madness and chaos.
The purpose of this rune is to confuse the mind of the person it hits.
The werewolf in front of them had long been immersed in endless desires.
His actions this time were aimed at enhancing his rationality by releasing his desires.
So, once the rune of chaos strikes again, the outcome is self-evident.
Regardless, the strange runes bought Holmes time to rescue his daughter.
Mr. Holmes picked up his daughter and ran frantically toward the street.
At the same time, a black vessel, which had been prepared beforehand, appeared in his right hand.
Mr. Holmes looked at the black vessel in front of him with a very complex expression.
Upon seeing this, he recalled the words spoken by his benefactor when he entrusted it to him:
"Holmes, this vessel was specially made by me. Its sole purpose is to offer yourself to Death while using it."
"Once this thing is blown, your soul will travel to the world where Death resides."
"This is a life-saving measure I'm leaving you. You can blow it if you're forced to do something against your will."
"At that time, true demigod-level power will descend upon this area."
"Although this thing isn't particularly aggressive, it allows me to find you instantly."
"You should know what the aura of a demigod truly represents for this world."
"So when you blow this thing and cause the aura of a demigod to appear, the official extraordinary beings will definitely arrive at the scene immediately."
"The guy who kills you won't get away with it."
As he thought of this, Mr. Holmes's eyes grew even more resolute.
He could only choose to go to the world of the Grim Reaper to save his daughter's life.
Without hesitation, he grasped the black vessel and blew on it.
A peculiar sound resounded throughout the entire venue.
Then, a mysterious fluctuation slowly flowed through the scene.
He could clearly sense an immense force descending from above.
Then, extremely dense black smoke began to spread in all directions.
The smoke immediately covered the entire area of the clothing store.
Even the red light emanating from the sun ritual was immediately obscured.
Mr. Holmes looked at his daughter with tears streaming down his face, extremely reluctant to part with her.
He could clearly sense the life force within his body, and its rapid disappearance.
He said with deep regret, "I shouldn't have taken any chances. I should have tried everything when I noticed those guys last night."
"Elinda, you must live on strongly."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Holmes's life force completely disappeared, and he left this world.
Elinda, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed, tears of overwhelming sorrow streaming down her cheeks.
The grief was so intense that she couldn't speak; she just stood there, frozen like a puppet.
When the black smoke completely obscured the red light, Miss Natasha and Madrid's power returned to their bodies.
Natasha immediately returned her body to the illusion and let out an extremely sharp shriek.
Stanik, who was about to succeed, was struck dumb.
He clutched his head in extreme pain, feeling his vision blur and bright red blood flowing out from his seven orifices.
At that moment, he couldn't hear any sound at all; he just felt as if the world was slowly receding into the distance.
Even so, Natasha and Madrid dared not linger in the fight.
Taking advantage of the last moments, they grabbed Elinda and Mr. Holmes's body and quickly left the scene.
Following their pre-planned escape route, the two quickly disappeared into the black smoke.
Although Ponticis and his two companions behind them were extremely unwilling, they had no other choice at the moment.
All they could do was flee the scene as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, the demigod aura remaining here would have attracted a large number of official extraordinary individuals to arrive immediately.
In the other side of the workroom.
Chu Yang, who was sleeping, was suddenly awakened.
When he arrived in the living room, he saw his teacher standing solemnly in front of the French windows, gazing into the distance.
"Teacher, what was that fluctuation just now?"
Chu Yang felt a sudden, intense heart palpitation while he was asleep.
But when he woke up, he knew nothing.
"A demigod's aura just erupted from afar."
Manhattan's expression was very serious.
No matter how many secrets he holds, they will vanish in an instant if he confronts a demigod.
It's late at night now, and even in Manhattan, no one is choosing to go out immediately.
In the end, the two could only force themselves to suppress their unease and fall asleep again.
When Chu Yang went out the next day, he had just arrived at the subway station when he heard a very loud and noisy chorus of newspaper vendors.
"Late last night, Holmes Clothing Store was attacked by a mysterious force, and official extraordinary personnel arrived at the scene immediately..."
Upon hearing this, Chu Yang's body stiffened.
He had a strong sense of unease and immediately rushed to the nearest newsboy and bought a newspaper.
When he read the contents of the newspaper, he was struck dumb.
He clearly saw on it the news that Elinda had disappeared, Holmes was missing, and the lady had died tragically on the spot.
Chu Yang slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath; his body trembled with jealousy and anger.
The newspaper showed that the birth of Elinda's family occurred at midnight, the time when the demigod's aura erupted.
"Damn it, what's going on? How could the power of a demigod be erupting there?"
The thought of his best friend, Elinda, disappearing filled him with resentment.
"Could something have happened to Holmes when he went out to collect the body in the middle of the night?"
Chu Yang's mind raced, but guessing was pointless at the moment, so he decided to go to the clothing store anyway.
Regardless, with his pure white eyes and current Sequence 8 strength, he might actually be able to glean some clues from the ruins of the clothing store.
Inside the underground conference room of Storm Cathedral.
The official extraordinary captain was pale and looked extremely haggard and exhausted.
"That clothing store was definitely a battlefield, but why is scene recovery not working?"
Last night, he immediately led his combat team to the scene.
The internal professionals immediately used scene recall to try and find the people who caused trouble here.
However, they made absolutely no meaningful or valuable discoveries at the scene.
"Captain, although we can't find the mastermind behind this, judging from the lingering scents at the scene, it's those shady characters causing trouble again."
"And we can be certain that the aura of half a lifetime comes from Mr. Holmes."
"The terrifying aura within him was released in his final moments before death."
"Moreover, the werewolf aura from last night seemed very unstable; that guy's injuries haven't healed at all."
Amidst the chatter of his subordinates, a great deal of information was deduced.
The captain of the Punisher took a deep breath and immediately began to unleash his power.
"We can't explore everything about his life so far. All we can do now is find out the whereabouts of the werewolf and those guys as soon as possible."
"Since the werewolf's condition is very unstable, let's use that guy as our breakthrough point."
"We also need to find Elinda and her father Holmes as soon as possible, even if we can only find Holmes's body."
"Then we need to investigate the information about the Sun Ritual. We need to figure out what the true effect of that seal is."
Judging from the current situation, they will inevitably meet the werewolves sooner or later.
To avoid being caught off guard, it is necessary to prepare intelligence in advance.
As for why Erinda, that seemingly ordinary little girl, became the mission target.
Naturally, it was because his equally ordinary father had suddenly performed a great feat.
"Perhaps both the father and daughter had problems, otherwise why would they have gone missing instead of dying on the spot?"
Numerous clues and even reconstructed scenes at the scene prove that Holmes was dead at that time.
But no one in the team believed it was true.
Who knows if all of this was a deliberate deception orchestrated by Holmes, the guy who's been hiding for so many years.
According to the information they found, both Holmes and Elinda were very ordinary businessmen.
They have absolutely no connection to the extraordinary world.
Just last night, they were suddenly exposed to the world and began their connection with the demigods.
This is simply unbelievable.
On the other side, when Chu Yang arrived at the clothing store area, he found that the entire area had already been cordoned off.
A large number of police officers were on guard at this location.
Just as Chu Yang was about to step forward and investigate more closely, a startled cry suddenly came from behind him.
"What are you doing here?"
Chu Yang turned his head and found that it was a young girl who patted his shoulder.
There were two young men with him.
"Oh, it's you guys."
Chu Yang greeted the three young men behind him with ease and comfort.
It turns out that these three were also his classmates at school.
The girl who patted him on the shoulder just now had lent him money when he was at his lowest point.
Of course, Chu Yang had already paid back that money long ago.
Since he had already taken over this body, he naturally had to help it deal with the debts it left behind.
"We also heard that Elinda had an accident, so we came here as soon as possible."
"The newspaper said that Elinda was just carrying him, and that she probably wouldn't die from being carried away."
"I hope Elinda is safe and sound."
The three young people began to pray without prior arrangement.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries with them, Chu Yang immediately made an excuse to leave on another occasion.
He went to a relatively secluded corner and began to observe some details inside the shop.
He could even see some members of the police force inside, carefully cleaning up the battle scene.
With his Pure White Eyes activated, he even saw a guy carefully pinch a somewhat damaged rune into his palm, and then put it in his pocket.
"Hey, isn't that a rune I made myself?"
The runes had long since been deformed, but since they were made by his own hands, how could Chu Yang not recognize them?
So he quickly used his observation of the scene and the remaining spiritual power on the broken rune to successfully activate the ability to rewind the scene.
With ample media available, he saw Mr. Holmes being knocked away immediately and slammed hard into the wall behind him.
He also witnessed Mr. Holmes unleashing the power of the runes in his profound grief.
They also saw Holmes quickly leading Erinda away from the scene.
He saw the black vessel with his own eyes, and he also saw the overwhelming black smoke that was frantically enveloping the surroundings.
He also saw the werewolf-like monster opposite him.
Finally, an elderly man dressed in magnificent religious robes descended from the sky with a solemn expression. (End of Chapter)
