My organs are too abstract.

Chapter 74: You're no buddy, you're still bragging after getting beaten up like this?

"The club president?"

Xiao Yu trembled all over, looking at Luo Haoran with a terrified expression, a trace of panicked hope hidden in her eyes, as if hoping that the other party would speak and tell her that none of this was real.

Luo Haoran merely tilted his head slightly, as if listening to something. After a moment, he turned back and looked at her with a half-smile: "You seem afraid of me? You—"

Before he could finish speaking, a sharp punch slammed down from the side, landing heavily on his cheek.

"Let's do it!"

Zhou Wenyu roared angrily and took the initiative to attack. Li Chuan suddenly darted out like a cheetah, his bone club whistling as it smashed down on Luo Haoran's head.

"Bang--!"

A sharp, piercing sound of skull shattering suddenly erupted in the deathly silent classroom. With the combined force of their attacks, Luo Haoran's skull caved in instantly, and shattered glasses flew everywhere.

However, Zhou Wenyu and Li Chuan showed no joy at their victory; instead, their expressions changed drastically, and their hearts sank to the bottom.

Luo Haoran merely tilted his head slightly, as if the dented head had caused him no harm whatsoever. With a casual wave of his hand, he easily pushed Zhou Wenyu backward, causing him to stumble.

Immediately afterwards, he turned to look at Li Chuan, gripped the bone club tightly with one hand, and slowly raised the bone club under Li Chuan's extremely shocked gaze, a ferocious smile suddenly appearing on his face.

He slightly bent his knees, then kicked out with lightning speed.

"Boom!"

A tremendous and terrifying force slammed into Li Chuan's abdomen, smashing him into the wall. Dust flew everywhere, filling the entire space.

Just as Luo Haoran was about to take a step to give chase, suddenly, a bluish-black spark landed silently on his right arm.

The spark instantly flared up, transforming into a raging inferno that engulfed his entire arm, the dark blue flames churning and burning wildly.

Luo Haoran raised his hand and frantically slapped the flames, trying to extinguish the eerie fire, but instead of going out, the flames burned brighter and brighter, spreading wildly along his arm.

"Well done, Pei Yan!" Zhou Wenyu struggled to sit up and shouted sharply.

Pei Yan pressed her lips together tightly, remaining silent. Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her hands clenched tightly as she exerted all her strength to activate her abilities.

"Oh----"

Just as the fire was about to spread from his shoulders and engulf his entire body, Luo Haoran suddenly chuckled and yanked his left shoulder with his right hand.

A sickeningly painful sound of flesh tearing suddenly rang out as he ripped off his left side of his body, along with his arm!

Blood gushed out like a waterfall, and half of the severed body crashed heavily to the ground, instantly turning into a handful of ashes in the bluish-black flames.

Pei Yan and all the students present were stunned by this extremely bloody and cruel scene, their bodies stiff and they dared not even breathe.

"Don't get distracted!" Li Chuan leaned against the wall, struggling to pull out a chicken leg and bite into it, shouting fiercely despite the tearing pain in his abdomen, "Keep attacking!"

"good!"

Pei Yan snapped back to her senses, gritted her teeth, and activated her power. A second burst of dark blue flame shot out and rushed straight at Luo Haoran.

Despite having only half a body remaining and being covered in blood, Luo Haoran remained calm and composed. He tilted his head slightly, as if listening intently, and after a moment, a strange smile appeared on his lips.

"I heard you—your fear."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ball of flame that had risen into the air seemed to be tightly strangled by an invisible force, emitting a faint "sizzling" sound in the air before completely dissipating in an instant.

Pei Yan stood frozen in place, at a loss for what to do. The students could no longer suppress their extreme fear and screamed in terror.

"It's a monster! It's terrifying—"

"We simply can't beat it!"

"We're all doomed, we're all going to die here!"

"Run!"

Seeing the students in complete chaos and panic spreading, Li Chuan's heart sank. He quickly shouted to reassure them, "Don't be afraid! Remember what we said before, and believe that it is no match for us!"

His words calmed everyone down a bit, but before Li Chuan could even breathe a sigh of relief, Luo Haoran suddenly pointed his ear at the panicked students and slowly closed his eyes.

"I have heard your fears too."

"Sizzle!"

His chest flesh suddenly tore open, and a pair of slender, pale hands slowly emerged from the tear. Immediately afterward, a huge black shadow crawled out from the tear.

The human body, like a torn paper bag, quickly shrank and collapsed, limply falling to the ground, replaced by a terrifying monster nearly three meters tall.

It was emaciated, eyeless, and its limbs were unusually thin and long, as if forcibly pulled and twisted. Its body had no skin at all, exposing dark red flesh that was constantly throbbing slightly, exuding a nauseating bloody and eerie aura.

Most terrifying of all were the enormous ears on either side of its head, resembling the membranes of a bat's wings. Pale and thin, their width almost level with its slender shoulders, they were trembling slightly at an extremely high frequency, capturing every emotion around them.

The monster slowly turned its head, looked around, and spoke in a voice that was no longer human, but rather the dry, harsh sound of sandpaper rubbing against metal, letting out a satisfied sigh: "I heard all your fears."

"what!"

The voice was harsh and unpleasant, unlike anything produced by human organs. It seemed to possess a power to manipulate emotions, instantly shattering the students' psychological defenses. Everyone panicked, and screams erupted one after another.

"How can it be so strong? Could it be that my previous judgment was completely wrong, and its power was not absorbed by the vengeful infant at all? Or did something happen to the vengeful infant?" Li Chuan frowned, completely puzzled.

He quickly finished the chicken leg in his hand, and the excruciating pain in his abdomen subsided slightly. Looking at the panicked crowd in front of him and the terrifying monster that he could hardly resist, he made a resolute decision in a flash.

"Shen Jiahao!" He forced himself to stand up and shouted sternly at the boy who was frozen in fear beside him, "Don't be afraid! Come here and hide behind me!"

"Oh? Okay, okay!"

Having already fallen into despair, Shen Jiahao, upon hearing this, grasped at a straw and scrambled towards Li Chuan. Just as he approached, Li Chuan's eyes suddenly sharpened like knives, and his wrist, gripping the bone club, twitched almost imperceptibly. Just as he was about to make a move, his pupils suddenly contracted—"Boom!"

The monster instantly appeared in front of Li Chuan, slammed down with a punch, knocking him to the corner of the wall again. Then it stood still, not pursuing him again, mocking him as if it were a cat playing with a mouse.

"I heard your fear," the monster's ears trembled slightly, its dry voice laced with mockery, "and I also heard your—plan."

"Pfft!" Li Chuan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his whole body trembling, unable to get up from the ground for a long time.

"Brother Li!"

"Are you alright, Brother Li?"

Zhou Wenyu and Pei Yan's expressions changed drastically. They rushed to Li Chuan's side and helped him up.

"Can you hold on?"

Li Chuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, struggled to stand with his back against the wall, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm not dead yet."

"No, Brother Li, these people are a huge drag on our team. If this continues, we'll all die here!" Zhou Wenyu spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, a ruthless glint in his eyes. "Since we're going to die anyway, let's cut off the source of fear so they can stop supplying power to the monster!"

As patients in the Health Management Bureau, they have been fighting for their lives in disasters for many years. They have long been worn down by useless sentimentality and are used to making the most ruthless choices at the critical moment of life and death.

"It's too late. What do you think I was trying to do? This monster is very smart. It already knew my intentions and won't give us a chance." Li Chuan slowly shook his head.

As the leader of the two, Li Chuan was never one to be soft-hearted. If things got to the point of no return, he would be even more ruthless than Zhou Wenyu. He had called Shen Jiahao over earlier with the intention of eliminating the culprit who had triggered the fear, and testing the monster's power. However, he hadn't expected the monster to see through his plan on the spot, leaving him no chance to even make a move.

"Brother Li, Brother Zhou, you—" Pei Yan stared blankly at the two of them, her expression full of shock and confusion.

"There are some things that shouldn't be said now." Zhou Wenyu's expression was cold and stern, offering no further explanation. His tone was ruthless and cold. "For us, eliminating calamities and completing our missions is always our top priority. We won't easily sacrifice anyone, but when faced with a dead end like this, we have to make choices."

Pei Yan was deeply shaken, and from these words, she understood the cruelty and helplessness behind this profession.

"We are not afraid to die. If necessary, we are willing to give our lives." Zhou Wenyu's voice was low, carrying a hint of barely perceptible sorrow, a mark left by past tragic experiences. "You may think we are cruel, but you haven't seen how terrible it is when disaster spreads rampantly. On the path of eradicating disaster, if we are soft-hearted even once, it may mean that everyone will be buried with us—this is a lesson learned by countless predecessors with their blood."

"With the power of this calamity, once it breaks through this building, the entire school will die."

He paused, then said calmly, "Besides, Brother Li and I have already set a bottom line. If it were any other colleague in the bureau, they would probably have dealt with them decisively the moment they understood the situation, leaving no room for disaster to take advantage."

"Alright, let's talk about these things after we survive." Li Chuan sighed softly, his expression growing increasingly solemn. "There's no other way but to use that move."

"No!" Zhou Wenyu's expression changed drastically. He glanced at the white hair at the man's temples and sternly objected, "I can still fight it, don't use it yet!"

Zhou Wenyu roared and charged at the monster again, but the monster simply raised its long, thin arm, as thin as a bamboo pole, and swept it casually as if swatting away a fly, and a tremendous force rushed towards him.

Zhou Wenyu hurriedly crossed his arms to protect himself, only to feel an unparalleled force slamming into his arms, making his bones creak.

"Aaaaaah!"

He gritted his teeth, and the purple markings on his face shone brightly for a moment, but the light only lasted for a few seconds before quickly fading. Zhou Wenyu was swept away like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily against the wall with a dull thud.

He endured the excruciating pain, rolled to his feet, and without hesitation, immediately drew the pistol from his waist and aimed it at the monster.

But the monster had already anticipated his movements. With a slender arm, it grabbed the screaming Xiao Yu and Shen Jiahao from the ground and casually placed them in front of itself.

"Damn it!" Zhou Wenyu gritted his teeth and reluctantly put down his pistol.

The Ghost Water attack is ineffective against ordinary people, and now that there is very little Ghost Water left, even if the monsters do not use hostages to stop them, it will be difficult to turn the tide of the battle with it.

The monster fixed its sights on Zhou Wenyu. With its slender legs slightly bent at the knees, it exerted force suddenly, and with a "bang," the ground instantly cracked open like a spider web. The next second, it teleported in front of Zhou Wenyu, lifted him up with one hand, and slammed him against the wall.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The monster's fists rained down like a storm. Zhou Wenyu could only desperately raise his arms to protect himself. With each blow, he spat out a mouthful of blood. The purple markings on his face flickered, and his breath grew weaker and weaker.

"Cough cough————"

Li Chuan coughed violently, looking at Zhou Wenyu who was being brutally beaten. A resolute look flashed in his eyes. Just as he was about to raise his hand to draw something from the void, a confused voice suddenly came from the classroom door.

"What is this?"

Li Chuan suddenly turned his head and saw a strange figure wearing a hood, a mask, and sunglasses, peering curiously into the classroom.

Li Chuan's heart sank to the bottom. He was not confident about his ultimate method, so he hesitated to make a move. If the fear of others were added to his actions, he would not have a chance to fight to the death.

Thinking this, he hurriedly spoke, attempting a final struggle: "He's just trash, a piece of trash!"

Zhou Wenyu, who was being brutally beaten against the wall, instantly realized what was happening. Even though he was in a daze from the beating, he still tried his best to agree: "That's right! This kind of thing, I could take it down with one hand and it wouldn't stand a chance!" As he spoke, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

The man at the door looked at Li Chuan, who was leaning against the wall, barely alive, and then at Zhou Wenyu, who was being beaten against the wall and was delirious but still stubbornly arguing. His tone was full of shock: "Dude, you guys are all beaten like this, and you're still bragging?"
