Something's wrong with how I'm watching anime.

Chen Jie limped down the corridor, carrying a suitcase.

Thinking about what just happened, I couldn't help but curse and mutter to myself.

Where on earth did this vicious person come from?

That blow had already given Chen Jie a psychological scar. If the cop hadn't arrived in time, he might have been killed by the other party.

In fact, he should thank the female cop for saving his life.

However, that woman was also very decisive.

Looking at the wound on his right arm, slashed by a pistol bullet and bleeding profusely, Chen Jie's face turned even more ashen.

We need to leave quickly.

The fate of the two people left in the room behind us is still unknown.

To be honest, Chen Jie didn't think highly of that female cop.

If no gunshot was heard, that woman is probably in grave danger.

In the worst-case scenario, the assailant might catch up in just two or three minutes.

Before that, he had to meet up with Xiao San immediately.

Xiao San also had a gun, so even if the thug was highly skilled, he could handle him in the spacious environment of the dog farm.

After passing through the corridor, pushing open the door, and entering the dog enclosure, Chen Jie breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the other side hasn't had time to catch up yet.

That makes things much easier.

Chen Jie looked ahead.

Xiao San's dog farm was built inside the factory building, surrounded by high walls. Three chandeliers hung from the ceiling, their tungsten filaments casting a dim yellow light onto the vast factory building.

"Xiao San, have you prepared a backup plan?"

Chen Jie immediately spotted Xiao San standing not far ahead, in front of a dog cage with his back to him.

Seeing that Xiao San was just standing there blankly without making any move, Chen Jie frowned and shouted angrily, "Come and help! What time is it? Forget about your dogs."

However, Xiao San did not respond at all, as if he had not heard Chen Jie's calls, and remained standing blankly in front of the dog cage.

Chen Jie's brows furrowed even deeper, and an ominous premonition gradually surfaced in his heart.

Something's not right...

"Xiao San?"

Chen Jie softened his tone and asked again, slowly moving closer to Xiao San.

However, Xiao San still did not respond to him.

Chen Jie's unease grew stronger.

Chen Jie stopped abruptly when he was only about five meters away from Xiao San.

He realized something was wrong!

This dog kennel is far too quiet.

When I came here with Xiao San before, even though Xiao San, the owner of the dog farm, was present, the sound of barking dogs echoed throughout the entire factory.

But today...

Chen Jie looked around and saw that all the dogs in the cages, even the fiercest fighting dogs, were now lying flat on the ground with their tails tucked between their legs.

Chen Jie swallowed hard and looked at himself again.

Xiao San in front of him suddenly moved, his body trembled, and his head tilted backward.

Then, Xiao San's head rolled like a ball to Chen Jie's feet.

Looking at Xiao San's terrified head, and then at his torso lying on the ground, blood gushing from his neck like a fountain after his head was severed, Chen Jie stared blankly ahead.

The dog cage in front has now been opened.

A creature is slowly walking out on its low-lying four legs.

"What the hell... what the hell...?"

Chen Jie's face contorted in pain, a shiver running through his body, making his blood seem to freeze.

This is because his common sense has been challenged.

The creature before me was more of a monster than a creature. Although it had the body of a dog, the part above its neck was a huge, twisted mouth that opened like flower petals.

Within its mouthparts are delicate antennae, resembling flower stamens, with multiple open eyes at their tips.

Some eyes were on Xiao San's corpse on the ground, while others were on Chen Jie!

"What kind of monster are you...?"

Chen Jie reached for his gun, but when he touched his empty waist, he remembered that he had left his gun in the previous room.

The monster then spoke, and because it seemed to be using simulated vocal cords, the sound was noisy and unpleasant, like fingernails scratching on glass.

"Humans... don't taste good..."

Chapter Thirty: Escape

"Aaaaaaaahhhhh..."

An incredibly shrill scream emanated from the factory area, as terrifying as if one had encountered a demon from hell, but then it abruptly stopped.

Hearing the scream, Kazama, who was running down the corridor, immediately stopped and stared ahead with a grave expression. There was a slightly ajar door, and through the crack, he could see a dim, yellow light shining through it.

The dog kennel is located behind the door.

This underground casino, built in a suburban factory area, not only has a large open space with various games outside, but also a special program.

Dog fighting.

Dog fighting and cockfighting are traditional sports that have existed for a long time.

Watching these animals fight can release the repressed animalistic instincts within a person.

Those who participate in dogfighting are either extremely poor or extremely rich; the poor may only have one dog, while the rich may even own an entire dog farm.

The owner of this casino, Xiao San, is clearly the latter. A dog fighting enthusiast, he not only set up a dog betting project in his casino to attract gamblers, but also built a dog farm in the factory area.

He even buys a batch of stray dogs every month for his beloved fighting dogs to bite and maintain their aggression and bloodlust.

This is all information that Kazama learned from Liu Weiguang, the person in charge of that shelter before.

Xiao San's dog farm regularly gets its supplies from him every month.

At the same time, Liu Weiguang was also a regular at Xiao San's casino.

As for why Liu Weiguang was so sensitive to the dachshund mentioned by Kazama, it was because a few days ago when he went to participate in a dogfight, he personally witnessed the dachshund that was supposed to be used for fighting dogs to tear each other apart.

The dachshund killed a Tosa Inu so easily, astonishing the gamblers watching.

When Kazama heard Liu Weiguang's account while he was under hypnosis by the magic cards, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

If that parasite were to suddenly attack and reveal its true form under those circumstances, how many of the onlookers would die?

Kazama didn't believe that a mere barbed wire fence could stop the parasitic beast's horny blades that could cut through metal.

Fortunately, that didn't happen; the parasite seemed to be settling down at Xiao San's casino.

But now...

Kazama could tell from the tone of the voice that the scream came from Chen Jie, who had fled earlier.

The reason why Chen Jie let out a scream seems self-evident.

"That parasite..."

There were no cameras in the corridor. Kerberos flew out of Kazama's pocket, flapping its wings and floating in the air.

From the moment they entered the casino, Cerberus had been obediently inside Kazama's pocket for almost the entire time, nearly suffocating him. Now he could finally come out for some fresh air.

“That should be true…” Kazama nodded.

Having encountered Chen Jie before, and considering Chen Jie's concern for the box, it was clear that the other party had come out to receive the box, but it was intercepted by Kazama beforehand.

As for the direction Chen Jie came from and the direction he fled, it was towards the dog farm, most likely because there is a secret passage from there that leads out of the factory area.

Unfortunately, Chen Jie probably never dreamed that a bloodthirsty monster was lurking in the dog farm.

"That parasite probably sensed the commotion outside and knew that human law enforcement was coming. Feeling threatened, it probably abandoned its disguise."

Although I don't know why that thing has stayed here at the casino so quietly for so long.

However, if they understood the common sense of the human world and had enough vigilance, the parasites would not linger here.

Thinking of this, Kazama grabbed Cerberus, who was floating in the air, and stuffed him back into his pocket. At the same time, he touched the books in his satchel and started running towards the door again.

Pushing the door open, the first thing that came into view was two headless corpses.

Dark red blood was spilled all over the ground, and even Kazama's nose was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Kazama's expression turned incredibly ugly.

The result of the superpower going out of control ultimately led to deaths.

Kazama looked up at the two corpses in front of him, at the dachshund that was the culprit. No, to be precise, it was a dachshund with a dachshund's torso, but its head and body were completely alien monsters.

After chasing for several days, Kazama finally met the person in question.

The monster's alien-like head was a fleshy membrane that opened like flower petals, covered with winding blood vessels and a sticky, gelatinous liquid.

The anterior part of the flesh membrane is embedded with multiple barbed canine teeth, presenting a hard, grayish-white texture.

In the center are several fleshy strips of eyes that stand upright like snails.

When two-dimensional objects are upgraded to four-dimensional entities and appear in reality, they can be vaguely discerned from their general appearance in animation, but they also have a far more ferocious and terrifying appearance than in animation.

Even though Kazama had prepared himself mentally, he couldn't help but feel a sense of shock.

Although this shock was quickly suppressed by reason, Kazama's emotions returned to calm and he regained his composure.

"Humans... cannot be discovered..."
