Chapter 95 Freshmen

Du Wang kicked open the door to the monitoring room.

Inside the room, Twilight was using her short sword to parry the attacks from the chains.

Her figure appeared and disappeared intermittently, sometimes advancing without warning, and sometimes retreating without warning.

Du Wang could tell that this was an alternative use of her retrospective ability.

However, this technique requires a high level of physical strength, and he could already see Mumu's wet hair and clothes.

He didn't rush to help the girl out of the predicament, because what was more important now was to find the demon's parasite and eliminate it at its root.

Mumu had already spotted the young man at the door. As she fought off the chains, she shouted, "This demon can make the ability to attack walls disappear!"

Upon hearing this, Du Wang immediately understood what the so-called "be careful of rule reversal" meant.

Since demons can make things on the wall real, they can also make things on the wall fake.

Abilities are also a kind of "thing," and once they touch the wall, they will naturally be affected.

Du Wang searched through all the demon files but had never seen a similar ability.

It can only be said that the descent events are becoming increasingly difficult, and the demons and monsters that descend are becoming more and more powerful.

Just then, a gigantic, blue-faced, fanged human-shaped mouth suddenly appeared on the wall opposite him, its tongue rapidly extending out and attacking like a cannonball.

Du Wang turned and used his long sword to slice off the flesh from the tongue.

The enormous mouth immediately and painfully withdrew its tongue.

"Backtrack!"

Mumu's voice suddenly rang out.

The tongue extended forward again, returning to Du Wang's side.

Du Wang seized the opportunity and pierced the tongue with his sword, cutting off a large chunk of flesh.

"Ah!" The demon's shriek pierced the room, and then the entire wall changed from three-dimensional to two-dimensional, and the tongue became a piece of paper.

Based on the current situation, Du Wang and Mu Mu both realized that the parasite possessed by this demon must be related to the wall.

So far, however, they have not found the location of the parasite.

Du Wang scanned his surroundings, searching along the veins of the black mist. Because of the alternating appearance and disappearance of the walls, the black mist appeared and disappeared without any discernible pattern.

But when that giant human-faced mouth appeared, he could see that the concentration of the black mist had increased significantly.

Therefore, the human-faced, giant-mouthed demon is very likely the true form of the monster.

After reaching this conclusion, he didn't make a fuss, but instead helped Mumu unlock the chains while waiting for a new opportunity.

As expected, the two were unable to deal with the wall and could only passively block it.

A giant human-faced mouth suddenly appeared from the ceiling, sticking out its tongue to try and entangle Twilight.

"Now!" Du Wang tossed the longsword to Mu Mu, first applying a strange tickling effect to the giant human-faced mouth, then lifting the girl by the waist and forcefully throwing her up.

With their tacit understanding, Mumu jumped up, stepped on the monitoring equipment, and flew to a high point, the long sword in her hand emitting a dazzling white light.

In an instant, the entire monitoring room was shrouded in thick black fog.

But the white light rose up with unstoppable force, like the sunrise, and the sword tip pierced the giant mouth of the human face.

"Snap, snap!"

A cracking sound echoed as pieces of plaster peeled off the wall.

Just as the giant human-faced mouth was about to be slashed by the sword.

The next second, the wall quickly became flat, and the illusion-transformation worked again. The demon still wanted to use this trick to escape.

However, it failed to notice that a three-legged bird was suspended in the air, spewing a stream of black and red flames from its mouth.

The flames, once they touched the wall, immediately interrupted the transformation between reality and illusion, slowing the demon's movements for a moment.

In that brief moment, Mumu's sword had already pierced the man's face.

A burst of white light!

The black fog has dissipated!

The entire ceiling shattered under the impact, leaving it covered in countless cracks.

Then.

A large, dark hole appeared in the ceiling, from which two pieces of debris and a human figure fell out.

"thump."

Zheng Xiao lay on the ground, covered in dust and dirt, his eyes closed, and strange light was flashing around his body.

"Oh?" Du Wang walked to his side, never expecting to witness the birth of a superhuman.

Generally speaking, extraordinary individuals will show some outward manifestation after subduing their innate spirit, just like Zheng Xiao.

Only Du Wang himself, being a three-legged corpse crow, directly swallowed the Eye Bag Demon and became a superhuman without any warning.

Mumu put away her longsword and shortsword and came over.

"Where's Red Cannon?" she asked.

They ran away.

A strange light flashed in Mu Mu's eyes as she looked at Du Wang, but said nothing.

Du Wang explained, "I used two magazines of blasting ammo to force him back."

"Hmm." Mumu nodded, seemingly having already made up her mind.

A short while later, Zheng Xiao opened his eyes, rubbed his head, and got up from the ground.

"Damn it, where the hell am I?" he cursed.

When he looked up, he saw Du Wang and was startled.

"Officer, are you a human or a ghost?" Zheng Xiao took a few steps back and leaned against the monitoring console.

His eyes then swept over Mumu, wondering about the identity of this beautiful girl, before noticing the bloodstains and headless corpse on the wall.

"Ah, ah! A corpse! Ah!" Zheng Xiao was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and became incoherent.

Du Wang snapped his fingers, and he immediately felt darkness engulf him.

"Smack."

Suddenly, a beam of light shone down.

Zheng Xiao found himself sitting in a chair, opposite a police officer sitting backwards with his hands on the back of the chair.

"Let me introduce myself first."

The overhead light cast a large shadow over Du Wang's face, but it also drew Zheng Xiao's attention entirely to him.

"Double pupils, member of Mobile Team 1, Investigation Department of the Advent Incident."

"Double-pupil, Investigation Department?"

Zheng Xiao was digesting these unfamiliar words.

Du Wang continued, "What you are seeing today is a crisis that the entire city is facing, called the Advent Event."

"Demons and monsters will randomly appear in densely populated areas and launch indiscriminate attacks on everyone."

"The Investigation Department was established specifically to resolve the Advent Incident."

"During the descent event, some talented individuals will become hosts after the death of demons and monsters, gaining their power."

"For example, you can close your eyes now and truly experience this power."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Xiao swallowed hard and closed his eyes.

Ten seconds later, he excitedly opened his eyes and exclaimed, "It's true! I have superpowers!"

"Yes, next, official personnel will guide you and help you with the tests. Be mentally prepared."

Zheng Xiao took a deep breath: "Okay, I understand."

"Smack."

Du Wang snapped his fingers again.

The hallucination disappeared, and the monitoring room reappeared before their eyes.

Zheng Xiao was thrilled. So this was a superpower? No wonder the police officers weren't afraid of ghosts.

"Um—Brother Tong—"

"Um?"

"Can I join you? I've wanted to be a superhero since I was a kid!" Zheng Xiao said excitedly.

Du Wang looked at his face and smiled.

Another Cheng Huo.
