Those who reincarnate must die.

To investigate what happened in the alley, Broken Sword dispatched a four-man team to the alley at midnight. The next day, these agents, also in a dazed and confused state, died one after another in accidents. Ultimately, Broken Sword only managed to rescue one person. Although he survived, he suffered severe psychological trauma and couldn't clearly explain what happened that night, only remembering seeing a terrifying, strange man…

From then on, the name of this midnight killer spread.

Of the three deceased agents, one was Jiaying, whom the two girls had mentioned. The three were very close friends. To find out what had happened to Jiaying, Xiaojing and Xiaorui volunteered to join the next investigation team. However, their application was rejected, and the organization told them that more professional personnel had already taken over the case.

However, the two girls were unwilling to give up, especially Xiao Jing, who was somewhat impulsive. She insisted on avenging her best friend, so she and Xiao Rui set up an ambush here.

The two girls were experienced reincarnators; after all, their four-person team had been wiped out, and they didn't expect to take down the midnight killer on their own. Their plan was to use their invisibility to observe first, and only act when they were confident. If they felt the opponent was too dangerous, they would remain hidden.

Xiao Jing is very confident in her invisibility ability, which is a rare skill. Not only can she become invisible, but she can also hide her scent, sound, and all other traces. She can even form nodules to shield herself from a considerable degree of attack. It can be said to be the most suitable ability for spying.

As the raincoat-clad killer drew closer, the two girls instinctively held their breath and looked closely, even though they knew the barrier could block out sound.

The killer was very tall, conservatively estimated to be around two meters, and his raincoat was thick and long, reaching up to his calves.

Looking up, the raincoat's hood covered his head, and the collar was tied with a drawstring, obscuring the lower half of his face. Below the hood, a baseball cap was also worn, the shadow of the brim obscuring the upper half of his face, making it almost impossible to see the assassin's features.

Although it was drizzling, the summer in Donghai City was still very hot. Wasn't this guy feeling stuffy wearing such a thick raincoat?

The two girls watched the strange man pass by, but didn't see him do anything unusual.

In the end, they didn't gather any information other than body shape and physique.

Watching the strange man gradually walk away, Xiao Jing and Xiao Rui both breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from their foreheads.

"Huh? What's this?" Xiao Rui suddenly noticed that a thick, long hair had fallen to the ground in front of them.

"Did that serial killer drop it?" Xiaojing realized something. "Keep it, take it back, and maybe a DNA test can confirm his identity!"

Xiao Rui nodded and reached for the strand of hair.

Xiao Jing's concealment barrier has a protective effect similar to a smart shield, only reacting to violent attacks. Gentle actions like reaching out to pick something up are not blocked, so Xiao Rui's hand easily touched that strand of hair.

But the moment Xiaorui touched her hair, she suddenly felt a bone-chilling cold emanating from it, making her tremble from the depths of her soul.

At the same time, the midnight killer, who had already walked away, suddenly stopped and then turned around abruptly...

Yes, it's turning back, and that's all!

His body was still facing away from the two of them, but his face had been turned 180 degrees!

The two men were a little scared by what they saw, but what happened next was even more terrifying!

The murderer watched the two from afar, his whole body began to tremble, and his limbs began to stretch and twist. Then, in this bizarre posture, with his face to the side and his back to the two, he rushed towards them at high speed in a strange and indescribable manner!

No... it's more like crawling than running!

This creature used all four limbs, leaping and bounding, sometimes on the ground, sometimes on the wall, moving in a three-dimensional way like a giant insect!

"That strand of hair caught his attention!" Xiaojing exclaimed, her face turning pale. "Get it away quickly!"

Without her saying anything, Xiao Rui threw her hair out, while Xiao Jing immediately reinforced the barrier, held her breath, and covered Xiao Rui's mouth with her hand!

Given the monster's speed and aura, escape is virtually impossible. Their only hope is that a powerful concealment barrier will prevent the monster from detecting them!

谷涄

Sure enough, when the monster got close, it pounced on the hair, its head, covered by two hats, sniffed the ground, then looked up at the opposite direction before turning around to face the two girls at close range!

Now, Xiaojing and Xiaorui could finally see the face clearly.

No, it doesn't have a face at all!

Underneath the hood and baseball cap, there was a tangled mess of hair!

Not only his face, but also a large amount of tangled hair could be seen from his outstretched limbs, cuffs, boot tops and the gaps between the hem of his raincoat!

This thing isn't human at all; it's a humanoid shape made of hair!

Even though the two women had experienced many missions, they had never seen such a bizarre monster before. If Xiao Jing hadn't covered her mouth, Xiao Rui probably would have screamed...

"Don't move..." Xiaojing tried to remain calm and whispered a reminder, "My barrier is fixed. As long as we're inside it, it won't detect us. If we leave the barrier, we'll definitely be attacked!"

Xiao Rui nodded, and the two women, watching the hair slapping their faces so close to their own, didn't dare to utter a sound.

After searching around without success, the monster looked at the hair on the ground, lowered its head, and seemed to say something to the hair.

Then, the hair actually started moving on its own, like an inchworm, wriggling and crawling on the ground.

And the direction it was crawling was right where Xiaojing and Xiaorui were!

"Did it remember this place after touching that strand of hair?"

The two girls suddenly felt a chill run through them, and the enormous monster cast its non-existent gaze in their direction.

Although it was invisible, the monster had already raised its head and identified its target!

Countless thick strands of hair emerged from the gaps in the raincoat, baring their fangs like a giant sea urchin. The hair, wet with rain, gleamed with a disgusting sheen, resembling a malevolent spirit from a horror movie!

After a brief moment of gathering power, all those thousands of strands of hair suddenly shot down towards the two women!

"Buzz~~"

A wave of light appeared, and the barrier blocked the attack, but it also created visible ripples.

"Such a powerful attack..." Xiaojing gritted her teeth: "The barrier's energy has been reduced by almost half in an instant!"

"How much longer can you hold on?" Xiao Rui asked.

"Two more hits at most..." Xiaojing whispered, watching the hairy monster gather its strength again. "The final hit will have a powerful backlash when the barrier shatters. We need to run as fast as we can, split up, that way at least one of us can survive!"

Seeing Xiao Jing's resolute gaze, Xiao Rui was first shocked, then closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and nodded.

"Buzz!" With the second attack, the barrier's energy was almost depleted...

"Ready..." Both girls were prepared with the fastest means of movement...

"Clatter!"

With the third attack, the barrier shattered, and the powerful recoil forced the hairy monster back a few steps!

"run!!"
