Chapter 430: Killing Day Begins

5 month 30 day.

5.59am.

At dawn, the sky begins to light up.

The slightly cool morning breeze swept through the oak forest outside the manor, and a few drops of lingering night dew fell from the branches and leaves.

In the bedroom on the east wing of the third floor, the first ray of sunlight was penetrating through the gaps in the brown curtains and into the dim room.

The light refracted through the carved glass and shattered into mottled diamonds.

inside the room.

Hu Qi pinched his five fingers.

A ball of black gas in his hand exploded directly.

At the same time, wisps of golden flames dissipated.

"Ding! Kill a primary Yin beast! Reward: 100 points of royalties!"

Modified value +7 (51%)

The sound of machinery rang in my ears.

It appears almost at the same time as Scarlet's modified value arrival notification.

Hu Qi looked calm.

Given his life form, sleeping or not doesn’t mean much to him.

After catching this evil beast.

He conducted some experiments.

After death, a special kind of energy called Yin Qi will emanate from the body.

The more unwilling one is, the greater the resentment or hatred one has, and the more extreme one's personality is, the more likely one is to give birth to something like a Yin beast after death.

In addition, it can grow over time and by absorbing Yin energy through killing.

This octopus Yin beast had just been born and was obviously the weakest primary Yin beast.

Moreover, he discovered that this so-called Yin beast was more like a monster that combined the resentment of death and the power of the rules of this world.

Although physical damage is somewhat useful, it is not significant.

The most important thing is to rely on non-physical means such as flames or strong light.

However, to deal with this kind of thing.

The abilities that come with the body of the demon elephant are simply the nemesis of these evil beasts.

Moreover, this thing can not only increase the so-called royalties, but also increase the modification value, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.

……

soon.

Time came to morning, after a simple and hearty breakfast.

On one side, Yasuo Matsumoto bowed and stepped forward.

"Master, the person you are looking for has been found!"

"Oh?"

I am grateful that the other party was able to find Baichuan Youzhen in such a short time.

Hutch was not surprised.

Shenmu City has a total area of ​​more than 3,000 square kilometers and a population of nearly 20 million.

so many people.

It stands to reason that even if Baichuan Youzhen could find it among them, it wouldn't be so fast.

Actually it is not.

As one of the few people who have obtained the plot of this world's novel.

Although I don't know what the protagonist Baichuan Youzhen looks like, I know some of his physical features, age, and the university he attends.

This will undoubtedly greatly reduce the scope of the search.

Given Matsumoto Yasuo's power, it would be no problem to seek help from the police to check this information.

While talking.

He held out a photo.

In the photo, the midday sunlight shines obliquely through the glass windows of the classroom.

It sprinkled on a man's drooping silver-white hair, emitting a soft light golden halo.

This is a young man in his twenties.

At this moment, he supported his chin with one hand.

Her eyes were casually looking at the lake in the distance. Her fine bangs slightly covered her eyebrows, but could not hide her gray-blue eyes as clear as an icy lake.

Just based on the appearance.

All I can say is: He is worthy of being the protagonist.

……

When he opened his eyes again, Baichuan Youzhen found himself in an abandoned warehouse.

There was an old and decayed smell in the air, and the ground was covered with thick dust. Every time you moved your feet, a cloud of choking dust would rise up.

In the light coming from the window on one side, countless tiny dust particles were flying around.

He tried hard to recall what had happened before, and he only remembered that he was walking on the road. Suddenly, a strong force hit him from behind, and then he felt a sharp pain in his head, his eyes went black, and he lost consciousness.

"Am I being kidnapped?"

This thought suddenly arose in Baichuan Youzhen's mind.

He felt a pain in his neck.

Upon realizing this, he subconsciously tried to struggle, but found that his hands and feet were tightly bound.

The whole person was tied to an iron chair.

Just then, the sound of footsteps came from the depths of darkness.

Echoing in the empty and silent warehouse.

Every sound seemed to step on Baichuan Youzhen's tense nerves.

As the footsteps got closer, four figures gradually emerged from the darkness.

One of them was wearing a black robe, his entire body was covered in the black robe, and his face could not be seen clearly.

The other three are three girls. They are pretty and have fair skin. Each of them has an outstanding appearance.

Moreover, the three people give people different feelings.

From left to right, they are a cute little Lolita, a gentle girl, and a cold-tempered lady.

Because of the height difference, standing together feels like a cell phone signal bar.

See this.

Baichuan Youzhen's eyes widened instantly, his eyes were full of shock and confusion, and he blurted out.

"Xiao Li, Junior Sister Xia Ri, Senior Sister Qiu Shan, why are you here? What is going on?"

"elder brother……"

"Yu Zhen..."

"Senior..."

The three of them spoke in tearful tones and looked at Baichuan Youzhen with tearful eyes.

However, the words were not finished yet.

A cold light flashed, and a long knife pierced into the head of one of the women without any warning.

"Uh……"

The schoolgirl named Natsume's eyes instantly became bloodshot and an indistinct low moan came out of her mouth.

His body twitched violently a few times, and then he fell straight to the ground.

Blood gushed out from the wound and spread on the dusty ground, which was shocking to the eyes.

"No!"

After a brief moment of daze, Baichuan Youzhen let out a heart-wrenching roar.

Before he could recover from the huge shock.

The man in black robe was like a ghost, and stabbed his sister's chest with another knife.

My sister's body fell slowly like a puppet with its strings cut, her eyes full of pain and reluctance.

He looked in the direction of Baichuan Youzhen, as if he wanted to say something else, but closed his eyes forever.

In just a few seconds, the younger sister and the cute junior schoolmate who grew up together died in front of him.

This strong impact was like a heavy hammer, hitting Baichuan Youzhen's heart hard.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his eye sockets seemed to be bursting with hatred, and he struggled frantically.

Veins bulged on his body like twisted little snakes, and every muscle was exerting force to break free from the restraints and stop the black-robed man's evil deeds.

However, his struggle was doomed to be in vain as the ropes dug deep into his skin.

The blood slowly flowed down the rope, but it still could not change the tragedy before its eyes.

As the last long-haired woman named Akiyama was stabbed in the throat, she subconsciously covered her throat with her hands.

She wanted to stop the life from slipping away, but the blood still flowed out from between her fingers. Her eyes gradually dimmed and her body slowly fell to the ground.

The bodies of the three women lay quietly on the ground, and blood gathered around them, forming a shocking pool of blood.

After doing all this, the man in black robe reached out and lifted his mask, revealing the face of an ordinary young man.

The young man's eyes were terrifyingly calm, without a single ripple, as if killing a few people was just like crushing a few ants.

At the same time, Baichuan Youzhen also looked over.

He stared at the young man in front of him, his eyes as dark as an endless abyss, without a trace of light, only deep-rooted and deep-rooted resentment.

It was as if he wanted to engrave the young man's face in his mind.

"Ding! Side quest 1: Getting acquainted.

Now it has been completed, the test shows that Baichuan Youzhen has left a deep and hateful impression on you.

I will never forget it even if I die.

After meeting the requirements of the hidden mission, Baichuan Youzhen's state of mind is on the verge of breaking.

Mission rewards increased: 1,000 points of royalties, a B-level book ticket, and a crystal for controlling the Yin body! (Note: The item rewards will be settled after the main mission is completed and returned to the Samsara Book House)"

Hearing this prompt tone, the young man, Hu Qi's eyes moved.

Sure enough, this method can leave a deep impression on the other party.

As the protagonist, Baichuan Youzhen, there is never a shortage of female confidants around him.

He has a half-sister with whom he has a delicate relationship.

A gentle and quiet schoolmate who always follows him silently with admiring eyes.

A senior with an ambiguous attitude and a cold personality.

In addition, when the Killing Day broke out and Shenmu City fell into chaos, he also met the black-silk bank clerk whom he rescued, as well as the charming wife with a thin waist and long legs.

Apart from the plot setting of the world of [Shadow of the End], the protagonist has quite a few harems, more than a dozen of them.

And, according to the plot of the novel, almost every one of them is true love.

The protagonist is a man with a philanthropic heart.

As long as they are good-looking, he will accept almost any woman, from those who are over ten years old to those who are under sixty years old.

Now Hu Qi killed his three beloved ones in front of him, which directly shattered the mood of the protagonist named Baichuan Youzhen.

"...I won't let you go...No matter who you are...I will definitely kill you..."

Baichuan Youzhen's eyes were bloodshot, his lips were trembling, and he squeezed out these words from between his teeth word by word, wishing he could cut Hu Qi into pieces.

However, he was just an ordinary man now and could do nothing but feel helpless and furious.

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a pain in his head, as if thousands of steel needles were piercing his brain at the same time. His vision went dark and he passed out.

at the same time.

On the opposite side, the three female corpses under Hu Qi's feet gradually faded and disappeared.

Ignoring the other party.

Hu Qi turned and walked out of the warehouse.

Afterwards, Vera and Zhou Zhipeng walked in.

After pouring cold water on the unconscious Baichuan Youzhen to wake him up, the two were shocked by each other's condition.

The despair and dying expression on that face could not be faked. They didn't understand what Hu Qi had done.

Because of what happened before, Baichuan Youzhen looked a little numb, like a walking corpse, with empty eyes and no response to anything around him.

As a last resort, the two could only resort to some methods that caused physical harm, thus completing the mission of this branch 1.

……

I don’t know how long it was, but when Baichuan Youzhen regained some consciousness, he smelled a stench of rotten garbage at the tip of his nose. The smell was pungent and unpleasant, making people feel nauseous.

He opened his eyes.

The sky is gray.

He was now lying on the cold ground, with the chill coming from behind, making his body shiver slightly.

There was a gray rat picking through the garbage at his feet.

Hearing the noise, the mouse's ears twitched.

He glanced at Baichuan Youzhen with his cunning eyes, then went straight into the garbage pile on the side, and his figure disappeared in an instant.

He wanted to move, but found that his whole body was aching.

"Xiao Li, Junior Sister Xia Ri, Senior Sister Qiu Shan..."

He seemed to recall the previous scene.

Looks painful.

However, at this moment.

A cell phone rang.

He paused for a moment before taking out his cell phone.

But after seeing the caller ID.

He froze in place.

Because the person calling was none other than Mr.

It was her half-sister Xiaoli who was stabbed to death by the man in black robe.

"What are you doing? You're not dating your girlfriend. Why did you take so long to answer the phone?"

As soon as the call was connected, a cold and arrogant female voice came from the receiver.

Baichuan Youzhen listened to this familiar voice and finally felt relieved.

After carefully asking and confirming that the other party was safe, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he called his junior and senior classmates one by one.

Only after confirming that they were all safe and sound did I feel completely relieved.

"Is it really just an illusion?"

Baichuan Youzhen frowned slightly, his heart full of doubts.

But if it was an illusion, it was too real.

But since everyone is safe, it's always a good thing.

However, Baichuan Youzhen didn't know that what happened today was just the beginning.

As time goes by, other trainee readers will surely find ways to find him.

Except for a few who may take a gentle approach, the method chosen by most readers is probably not very friendly.

……

Time flies by, and just a few days pass in a flash. The Killing Day is approaching step by step.

The sky in Shenmu City began to turn gloomy in early June.

The heavy clouds were hanging very low, as if they would fall down at any time and crush the entire city.

The sun occasionally pierced through the gaps in the clouds, casting not warmth but a pale, sickly halo, like a blunt knife slowly sharpening on the skin.

The billboards on the streets have long been replaced.

The original flashing neon sign was replaced by a short red slogan - "6.7-6.10 statutory exemption period".

The font is square, with sharp edges, as if it was carved with a knife.

The details were scrolling below the electronic screen, but no one stopped to read them carefully.

During this period, the atmosphere in the city became increasingly tense.

Some people in Shenmu City stayed in their homes. They strengthened their door locks, bought weapons, or hid in safe houses that had been prepared long ago.

on the street.

Slogans reading “Killing Day Special” glaringly hung above weapon stores.

There were long queues outside every house, people waiting silently to buy.

The shelves in some supermarkets had already been cleared out.

Canned food, bottled water, and medicines were all sold out.

Another group of people chose to temporarily seek refuge outside with their valuables.

Anyway, the Killing Days only last four days, and once the time is over, we can come back again.

Regarding this phenomenon, the officials of this world and those evil beasts have adopted a laissez-faire attitude.

It was not obstructed.

Although many people left.

But there is also a constant stream of people entering Shenmu City.

Killing Day, this special period full of blood and chaos, in addition to endless killing, also hides the huge temptation of "wealth".

During this period, the money obtained from burning, killing and looting will not be subject to any legal sanctions, and after the killing day is over, no one will investigate the source of the property.

Money moves people's hearts.

This temptation has led countless poor people to try to take advantage of this opportunity to get rich overnight.

There were even many organized teams that emerged, carefully planning and preparing to use any means necessary to plunder more wealth during the four days of chaos on the Killing Day.

Of course, Killing Day attracts more than just profit-seekers.

All kinds of criminals and people who are overwhelmed by life also regard this place as the only outlet to vent their inner darkness and pressure.

In their eyes, Killing Day is a carnival where they can do whatever they want.

Therefore, when the Killing Day arrives, Shenmu City will definitely not lack "participants".

After all, the greed and ugliness of human nature are enough to fill this city that is about to fall into hell.

In addition, there are deeper considerations for Yin beasts.

After the death of a greedy person, his Yin energy is often particularly strong, and the Yin beast he transforms into is more ferocious and terrifying.

On the contrary, those who are cowardly and shrinking will produce Yin energy as thin as smoke after death, and the Yin beasts they give birth to will also be weak.

……

Soon it was June 6th.

By evening, the sky was as dark as ink.

Occasionally, lightning would wander through it and explode into tree branches.

The billboard outside the window flashed a blood-red countdown:
【距离6月7日 00:00还有 6小时 37分51秒】

There were half as many people on the streets as usual.

Those still outside walked quickly, with their heads bowed and their hands in their pockets.

His cold eyes swept over every stranger who passed by.

There were even some people with bad tempers who would start cursing at the slightest disagreement and shout about a fight to the death after midnight.

At this moment, in the city of Shenmu.

Except for some intern readers who are self-aware and perhaps unwilling to take risks.

All other intern readers entered Shenmu City.

These people are like hungry wolves lurking in the dark.

Waiting for the real carnival time to arrive.

……

Villa, in the living room.

On TV, the mayor of Shenmu City is a bald, middle-aged man with a fat body.

The buttons of his suit were stretched out by his round belly, revealing the gaudy shirt underneath. The greasy shirt stuck tightly to his fat.

Now giving a speech.

The background is the brightly lit night scene of Shenmu City.

".Killing Day is a time-honored tradition in our city"

The mayor smiled and said,
".After the killing days, we can understand the value of law and promote social harmony"

The general idea is to 'release pressure' through a few days of anarchy so that people can 'cherish peace'.

for this statement.

Hu Qi did not comment.

Although the real purpose of the Killing Day is for the Yin Beasts hidden among the upper echelons of humanity to create more Yin Beasts and strengthen the Yin energy.

But it must be said that the emergence of Killing Day has, in some ways, greatly reduced the frequency of crime in this world.

Because these people are waiting for the Killing Day on June 6th just like they are waiting for Double Eleven.

Therefore, in some ways, it does promote social harmony.

Because after a large number of disharmonious people died, the crime rate naturally decreased.

"Boss, based on the surveillance of Baichuan Youzhen.

So far, the reader team that came to Shenmu City this time has observed that there are at least eleven teams. Except for a few teams with only one or two people, there are seven teams with three people..."

On one side, Vera reported what she had gained during this period.

After all the impression points were collected, Baichuan Youzhen was released.

But we sent people to monitor it at all times.

During this period, many people were seen approaching Baichuan Youzhen in various ways.

Obviously, if nothing unexpected happens, those are all trainee readers.

Hu Qi didn't take it seriously.

The three of them sat quietly on the sofa, waiting for the killing day to arrive.

The hours passed by in a blink of an eye.

Boom!
A dull bell sound suddenly broke through the night sky of Shenmu City and echoed in every corner of the city.

The clock struck twelve, and then the city alarm wailed shrilly, the sharp sound instantly piercing the night sky.

This sound announced that from this moment until four days later, the entire city's legal order, security, and medical assistance systems would officially come to a standstill and become ineffective.

Then, everything fell silent.

Just one second, or even shorter, and then!

Bang!
Looking through the window, I saw a ray of fire rising into the sky in the distant night.

next second.

The sound of bullets pouring down and screams echoed through the night sky.

The Killing Day has officially begun.

Shenmu City is brighter at night than during the day.

The street lights remain on all the time.

The sound of glass shattering came from an apartment building in the distance, followed by screams and the dull thud of flesh hitting the ground.

On the street, a figure suddenly jumped out from the originally empty corner, and the blade drew a cold arc under the street light. The tearing sound of metal piercing flesh was drowned out by the roar of the engine farther away.

A car crashed into the convenience store window.

Everything, all fell into chaos.

The bells had long since stopped, but the killing had just begun.
