In America, my cousin, Supergirl Kara...

Chapter 10: Paul the Cannibal

"Stop keeping me in suspense," Li Xiao glared at him, annoyed. He was still joking at a time like this; he really couldn't understand what was going on in his head.

"Okay, don't rush me, let me explain slowly." Constantine shrugged and chuckled. "This bastard is called Paul Odd, he's Irish, and he's been active in Seattle for years. According to incomplete statistics, this is his fourth time participating in the roulette. The amazing thing is that he's still alive and well. I bet you don't want to see him in his grotesque state. What's most ruthless about him is that he mixes his own drugs and injects them into his neck. For an ordinary person, one injection is basically enough to send them to meet their maker. This time, he's very likely to be the final winner."

After listening to Constantine's explanation, even Li Xiao felt a bit uneasy. The fact that the man had used the most reckless stabbing method four times in a row meant that the toxins in this madman's body were quite terrifying. If he were to be scratched or bitten, the consequences would be absolutely tragic.

Constantine pulled a rectangular metal strip from his backpack. Based on the pin at the bottom, Li Xiaocai roughly judged that the thing might be a gun.

"This is a little gadget I modified myself. It's a bit rudimentary, but it has all the essential features. I stuffed it with some serious stuff; one shot and even a rhinoceros would be down. What about you?"

"I've prepared this." Li Xiao took out a stun gun from his waist, and a ghostly blue spark appeared at the tip.

Constantin put his homemade pistol to his lips, blew out a puff of non-existent gunpowder smoke, and grinned: "Your stick is fine for cleaning up a woman's sewers, but the key is this pistol of mine." He twirled the gun with a flourish and tucked it into his coat pocket, for a moment he seemed to truly have the air of Hellblazer.

Li Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly: "It would be best if we didn't have to fight. Nobody wants to wrestle with a madman. But you, aren't you afraid I'll electrocute you if you walk in front?"

"Haha, buddy, you're being serious again. We're teammates now," Constantine laughed awkwardly. "Alright, let's go."

The two continued forward, and the passageway gradually widened, but the sewage under their feet began to reach above their knees. Li Xiao endured the nausea and picked aside the dead cat that was floating by. Just as he felt the water about to flood his trouser legs, the steps not far away were exposed to the light.

"We're almost there." Constantine turned off his headlamp and turned his flashlight down to just enough to illuminate his feet. "Can you hear the machine working? The pump tank is at the end of the tunnel."

Li Xiao also lowered the brightness and quietly followed Constantine up the steps. The passageway turned a 90-degree angle ahead, and visible light shone through the corner.

Constantine leaned against the wall, sticking half his head out: "Three left."

Li Xiao leaned close to Constantine's head and quietly sized him up.

Before me was a spacious pumping station, about fifty square meters in size, with two huge metal tanks leading to the top. The motor at the bottom was covered by an alloy bucket, from which came a piercing roar.

A carpet was laid out directly in front of the tank, piled with IV bottles and syringes. Three people sat crookedly on the carpet, and the scene around them made one's heart clench.

Six corpses were randomly piled on the open ground. Many of the corpses were rotting and their flesh was falling off. The black male corpse in the middle was extremely bloated, with its limbs bulging like air and oozing bodily fluids. Countless flies buzzed around.

A stench even more repulsive than silt shot straight to the top of my head!

Li Xiao felt the air stinging his eyes. He took out a pig snout mask from his backpack and put it on. It was a Kara mask; he had prepared it in advance because he was going to be in close contact with the corpse.

Constantine, standing nearby, immediately changed his expression, covered his mouth, and backed away.

A moment later, the sound of vomiting came from behind, but fortunately the noise here masked the sound, so it went unnoticed.

"You didn't bring a gas mask?"

Li Xiao tossed the mask over, noticing that the guy was well-prepared but had forgotten this one.

"We were careless! Who would have thought they'd find a waterlogged corpse? Shit threw up everything he ate! What a rip-off!"

Constantine spat and put on his mask. "Dude, your mask doesn't smell at all. That's disappointing. I think even bad breath smells good now."

Li Xiao shook his head and continued to observe. The noise from the motors here was quite harmful to his hearing, so his super hearing was definitely unusable, which meant he had one less means to rely on.

Time flies. Li Xiao checked his phone and it was 5 p.m. The three of them had been stabbing each other for an hour.

It has to be said that with this level of drug resistance, one could probably win a place in bodybuilding.

Finally, two people, after having a syringe inserted into their chests, let out a non-human roar and fell straight backward.

The last person swayed as he stood up. It seemed this was Paul, Li Xiao thought to himself.

"Child of Krypton, you have arrived at the lair of the fallen."

"The lower-ranking fallen demons successfully gave birth to higher-ranking fallen demons through a sacrificial ritual!"

"Reward: Destroying a nest grants 2 free attribute points."

"It's time to make a move!"

Li Xiao urged them on, saying that as long as Paul was taken down, they could get started. Although it was disgusting, the money they could make was not shameful.

"Damn it! This piece of junk gun is jamming now! Give me some time!"

Constantine slammed his gun down, furious that it had failed him at such a crucial moment.

"That damn bitch, he actually tried to desecrate the body!"

Without him saying anything, Li Xiao could already see everything clearly. At this moment, Paul suddenly howled and charged towards the pile of corpses like a hyena. He grabbed at the giant's thigh with both hands and managed to break the leg with his crazy strength.

Dark green bodily fluid gushed out, splashing all over Paul's face.

When a mental illness has an attack, even several people cannot hold it down, let alone a poisonous insect having an epileptic attack. It is no exaggeration to say that it has superhuman strength.

Paul casually tossed aside the human leg and pounced on the white female corpse beside him. He leaned over, opened his mouth wide, and bit down on the naked upper body. With a tearing sound, Paul actually bit off half of the female corpse's breast, and the pink flesh rolled off as he chewed.

"Are you all better yet?"

In the blink of an eye, the female corpse had been dismembered in two, her internal organs hanging bloody on Paul's body. He held the corpse's head, twisting it like a fly rubbing its hands.

"Alright, get out of the way!"

Li Xiao dodged to the back, and Constantine instantly jumped to the center, aiming his gun at Paul with both hands and pulling the trigger.

puff!

A syringe the size of a cigarette butt was shot directly into Paul's face.

"A powerful anesthetic. I added carfentanil to it; it can knock an elephant out in three seconds. I refuse to believe I can't take him down!"

Seeing Constantine's smug expression, Li Xiao felt a sense of unease for some reason.

Can such a super poisoner be dealt with so easily?

Sure enough, a ghostly howl came from inside, and the sound grew louder as it approached.

Paul was indeed not taken down.

"Ugh, fuck!"

Constantine turned and ran, but was hit in the lumbar spine with a headbutt, followed by a pair of dry, twig-like hands that gripped his waist tightly.

When Li Xiao looked up, a face with a rotten nose came right up to him.

Upon closer inspection, the man was indeed terrifying. His cheekbones bulged from his skin, his eye sockets were sunken, and large patches of skin had peeled off his face, revealing withered muscle tissue.

His whole body was swollen like a purple eggplant, and black liquid was seeping from the needle holes.

It looks more like a zombie than a human.

Being so close, Li Xiao could feel the thick, hot breath emanating from that tattered mouth.
