Tianjin, starting with unorthodox methods to achieve immortality

The crimson moon hung low, casting a dark red hue over every street and alley in Jinshi.

Chen Mo was so fast that he left afterimages, and he almost bumped into an old man who was closing up his wonton stall when he turned the corner.

"Ouch! You..."

"Help!" Chen Mo jumped over his head, running non-stop towards the Zhenyi Division. "The spider is killing people! Help!"

The old man was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, he saw a huge black shadow chasing after him from the street corner.

Eight legs.

Each one was as thick as an arm and gleamed with a dark, glossy sheen under the moonlight.

The old man's wonton bowl fell to the ground with a thud, and he fell straight backward, unconscious.

Joseph walked past the old man without even glancing at him.

"Sir!" he shouted from behind, "You can't escape!"

Chen Mo ignored him and turned into another alley.

"Help! The giant spider from Xikai Church has come out and is eating people!"

He shouted with great energy, not at all like the one being chased.

Just as Joseph was about to speak, a dark figure emerged from under the shed beside him, silently drifting to his side and slashing horizontally with a curved blade.

Joseph was prepared and swung one of his hind legs backward, striking the shadow puppet squarely in the chest.

The shadow puppet's body dispersed like mist. A shadow blade grazed its leg, leaving a faint white mark, before the entire body vanished completely, turning into a wisp of black smoke and disappearing back into the shadows on the ground.

"Damn it!"

Joseph gritted his teeth, somewhat exasperated.

This is the seventh time.

Just when he was about to catch up with Chen Mo, those damned shadow puppets kept popping up.

Each time, they would strike and retreat without giving him a chance to retaliate.

The damage caused was negligible, but it was annoying and slowed him down.

"Sir!" Joseph shouted, his voice clearly annoyed. "This is pointless! We just want to talk to you!"

Chen Mo's voice drifted over from afar, "What are you talking about! Do you look like someone who wants to discuss business?"

"This is only temporary," Joseph practically roared. "I can turn back."

"Then change back first, and then we can talk."

"It will take time to change back."

"Then come find me again after you've finished transforming!"

Joseph stopped talking and moved his eight legs even faster.

He decided to ignore the shadow puppets and deal with that guy first.

At that moment, another shadow puppet darted out from behind the water vat next to him, its curved blade aimed at a protruding spot in his abdomen.

Joseph had to stick out one leg to block it.

After all, the defenses there aren't very strong.

The blade sliced ​​across his hard carapace, leaving only a white mark.

The shadow puppet missed its target and immediately turned into black smoke and dissipated, but two more shadow puppets rushed at Joseph from both sides at the same time.

The relaxed smile that had been on his face was gone, replaced by a murderous rage.

Reason told him that these shadow puppets were just harassment; the real trouble was the man ahead who could run faster than a rabbit.

But if this continues, the experts from the Zhenyi Division will definitely come knocking on our door tomorrow.

Xikai Church is, after all, an outsider, and some things can only be done in private. Once things fall apart, they will inevitably be the ones who suffer.

Joseph took a deep breath, and with a sudden burst of power from his eight legs, he leaped onto the wall of the alley, crawling sideways to avoid the two shadow puppets.

"Sir," his voice descended from above, slightly breathless, "why are you doing this? I just..."

"I just don't want to be eaten by spiders!" Chen Mo said without turning his head, turning into a narrower alley.

Joseph stopped abruptly on the wall, staring at the narrow alley, his expression changing.

It's too narrow.

His eight legs were completely unable to move freely.

"Damn it!"

He jumped down from the wall, landed back on the ground, and went around to another path.

"Joseph, we're not far from the Town of Strange Things now."

Panting, Andrei ran up behind and shouted, "I think we should retreat!"

Joseph stopped on the wall, his eight legs gripping the brick seams tightly, and glanced back.

"Joseph!" he shouted again, "Let's get out of here! The commotion is too great!"

Joseph paused for a second.

He looked into the depths of the alley, where Chen Mo's figure had already turned into the narrow alley and disappeared from sight.

Not reconciled.

His eight legs tightened slightly.

After chasing him for so long, are we just going to let him go like this?

"Joseph!" Andrei ran over and grabbed one of his legs. "Are you crazy? If we keep chasing them, the Zhenyi Division will come out! We might be in danger then."

"Alright, you cunning kid, I hope you'll have such good luck next time."

He took one last look at the narrow alley, and his eight legs began to shrink back.

The sound of the shell cracking was exceptionally clear in the night.

His body twisted and turned back into the blond, blue-eyed man, only now he was completely naked, his clothes having been torn to shreds during the transformation.

......

The crimson moon was setting in the west, and the sky was already tinged with a bluish-gray light.

Chen Mo ran to an unfamiliar street, and only stopped to catch his breath when he could no longer see anyone chasing him.

My legs went weak.

It's really gone soft.

Running for so long while continuously empowered by the power of Yin was taking a toll on his physical strength.

"Chen Mo? It really is you, kid?"

Chen Mo turned around and saw a middle-aged man in pajamas rushing from the street corner.

It turned out to be Shen Dajiang.

One of the buttons on his pajamas was undone, revealing half of his hairy chest, clearly indicating that he had just gotten out of bed.

"Chen Mo!" He ran up to him, looked him up and down, and said, "I just heard someone shouting for help. It sounded a bit like your voice. I thought I must have misheard."

"What are you yelling about in the middle of the night, you little rascal?"

"Director Shen... Director Shen, you live here?" Chen Mo took a breath before telling Shen Dajiang what had just happened.

"Lin Ruoyun was killed by them. They were chasing me just now, but luckily I ran fast."

"What?!"

Shen Dajiang's face darkened, and his expression became somewhat ferocious.

"Lin Ruoyun?" He grabbed Chen Mo's shoulder with surprising force. "Are you sure? She's really from the Xikai Church?"

"Forehead......"

Chen Mo frowned, somewhat uncertain. "The other party claims to be from the Xikai Church and can even transform into a giant spider... I'm not really sure which side they're on."

"Where are you? Take me there." Shen Dajiang pulled him away.

"Wait, Director Shen, aren't you going to change your clothes? It's already daylight."

Chen Mo pointed to his exposed hairy chest and cautiously reminded him, "There might be women here later."

"Excuse me, please wait here for a moment, I'll be right back."

Shen Dajiang glanced at his pajamas with a dark expression, then turned and hurriedly left.

.......

By the time they arrived at East Street in Shen Dajiang's car, it was already broad daylight.

"It looks like a dried corpse. It really was done by those madmen who worship spiders."

After examining Lin Ruoyun's body, Shen Dajiang's face was so dark it could drip water. "I'm going back to gather men and tear that dilapidated church down!"
