------------

Several gang members prepared to leave; after all, this wasn't the first time they'd done something like this, and they were quite adept at it.

The man in the red headscarf spat, turned around, put a cigarette in his mouth, and was about to light it.

"Another maggot who doesn't know what's good for him."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man in the red headscarf felt a sharp pain in his chest.

He looked down.

A blood-stained snake tail pierced through his left chest, entering from his back and exiting through his chest, tinged with dark red blood.

The cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground.

The snake's tail suddenly lashed out.

His body crashed to the ground.

The remaining four men turned around at the same time.

Then they saw the thing behind them.

No, that's not a "thing"!

people?

But it no longer resembles a "human" thing.

Xu Ge stood less than five meters away from them. His lower body had completely lost the shape of legs, replaced by a snake tail covered in scales, with a drop of blood sliding down its tip.

His torso and arms still retained a roughly human shape, but faint scales were constantly appearing on his skin.

Its pupils had turned into a pair of vertical snake eyes.

Those eyes! Without a doubt!

Absolute rage, the monster born from it, the one who teaches you revenge is...

"fxxk..."

One of his men's voices completely changed.

The remaining four people all took a step back in unison.

The one who reacted the fastest suddenly reached for his Glock at his waist.

But the snake was faster than him.

Xu Ge's snake tail lashed out from the ground, and he shot out like an arrow.

The five-meter distance was erased in an instant; he simply rushed to the man who had pulled out a gun and raised his right hand.

There are no fancy moves, no techniques, and no martial arts movements.

thump.

The headless body collapsed limply to the ground...

The remaining three were truly terrified this time.

They've done this kind of work many times.

Stab people, bury people, sink people into the sea.

They thought they had seen enough bloodshed and that they were desensitized to death.

But they had never actually seen this before.

"Too close! Use a knife!"

One of the ruthless men with a scar on his face pulled a switchblade from his waist, swung it around, and stabbed Xu Ge in the abdomen.

Xu Ge reached out, grasped the man's wrist, and gently twisted it.

Click.

The wrist bent at an abnormal angle, and the switchblade slipped from the hand and fell to the ground.

"Ahhhh!"

The man's screams echoed throughout the entire block.

next moment.

boom!boom!boom!boom!

The muzzle flashes continued to flicker in the darkness.

The man with the knife's teammates reacted and fired shots from a distance. Unsure of the power of the shots, Xu Ge chose to dodge.

The S-shaped movement pattern significantly reduces aiming accuracy.

But a phenomenon that plunged everyone into despair appeared.

A bullet struck Xu Ge's body.

Sparks can be clearly seen flying as the bullet hits the scales.

However, due to the poor angle, it bounced off and hit the wall next to it.

Ding ding.

The gunfire stopped.

The magazine is empty.

The man holding the gun remained in a shooting stance, his finger still on the trigger, but his expression was one of utter disbelief.

Keep in mind that he had just fired an entire magazine of bullets at the monster in front of him.

Fifteen shots...

Xu Ge reached out and pried a stuck bullet out from between the scales, examined it between his fingers, and then casually tossed it on the ground.

[A descendant of snakes...?]

After accepting the power bestowed by that voice, they were as aware of the ability they had gained as if it were an instinct.

Physical enhancement, animal characteristics, snake-man form, and complete bestiality.

The bullet landed with a very crisp sound, a "ding".

Is there anything else?

His voice was deep.

The remaining people finally broke down completely.

They turned around at the same time and ran off in different directions.

One of them ran three steps.

His ankle was wrapped in a gray-black snake tail, and then he was lifted upside down and suspended in mid-air, screaming.

With a flick of its tail...

A slightly younger gang member was stunned and sat frozen in place.

Listen to the wails, the sound of the snake's tail whipping, and blood splattering on the wall.

One by one, his accomplices fell down.

Xu Ge opened his mouth, and the forked tip of his tongue trembled slightly in front of the man who was so terrified that he almost lost control of his bladder.

Snakes have a strong ability to detect scents, relying on their tongues to capture changes in the scent of the air.

For example, when humans are afraid, they involuntarily secrete adrenaline and fear-related chemicals.

Snakes' sensitive vomeronasal system can easily distinguish them.

"Who sent you?"

Seeing Xu Ge approaching, the man completely lost the will to resist; now he had only one thought.

[Damn it, they actually made us deal with this monster?! Then don't blame us for being ruthless!]

"It's Shining Model Agency! Spare me, I..."

Hearing the name, Xu Ge was not surprised.

After all, the people at that manor had no intention of keeping it a secret.

Perhaps in the other person's eyes, they are already creatures of a different species.

Truly, as arrogant as ever.

"Pfft!"

Chapter Four: Door-Door Fruit

“Father, I want to confess. Please forgive my vulgarity.”

"It happened last week. I was walking down the street when I suddenly felt unwell and desperately wanted to find a place to throw a bomb."

"I went to a nearby restaurant, and halfway through taking off my pants, I couldn't hold it in and sprayed everywhere,"

"Perhaps I should say that adults are magnanimous. I made a mess of that house, I messed everything up."

"The worst part is that when I opened the door while I was escaping, I found a part-time cleaner's child, probably a teenager, with such an innocent face, but I really didn't want to take responsibility, so I lowered my head and left."

After the man finished speaking, he remained silent for a few seconds.

“I probably ruined that kid’s weekend.”

A few comments scrolled by.

The poor child, with only a meager wage, has to endure this guy's filth and poison.

If I were that child, I would quit my job immediately.

Lynn stared at the screen and remained silent for a few moments.

Have you gone back to check?

"No."

"Then I sentence you to do fifty acts of charity work at the nearby toilets and to find that child and apologize to him."

"Understood, Father."

enough.

Lynn leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to think for a while.

After escaping danger, he used the fruit to forge an identity and became a clergyman in a remote area.

The need for manpower in churches in remote areas today is greater than imagined. Despite the relaxation of the requirements for priests, it is still difficult to find people.

Even in Alaska, a priest may be responsible for a parish of more than 100,000 square kilometers.

The priest Lynn replaced was in this situation; he single-handedly supported the church, while the original priest had unfortunately died. His interpersonal relationships were not complicated, and after Lynn's investigation confirmed that it was not a murder, he easily took over the position.

Moreover, this identity was more useful than he had imagined.

He had a basic understanding of the power of will. The more extreme a person's emotions are, the higher the effect. For example, the gang members that Xu Ge was taking revenge on could unleash a high amount of will power in their extreme fear before death.

Clergy naturally understand the public's need for repentance. Is the power of their vows during this process due to their faith, or perhaps a purer sense of guilt?

In short, the quality generated by the power of will is exceptionally high.

This at least offset the basic consumption of Lynn's virtual heart under uncertain external conditions.

Although it is highly likely that a fruit that can perfectly heal limbs will appear later.

But Lynn had a premonition.
