At the stairwell of an old, seven-story residential building on the street next to Wang He's.
Jiang Yan walked down, wearing a black tracksuit he had taken from an indoor drying rack and a blue beanie. He had just been hiding here to shake off the Inspectors.
Woo—!
"Time to leave." Standing downstairs and hearing the sirens wail in the distance, Jiang Yan started running toward the East District.
He wasn't in a hurry to kill the remaining people now. Song Qing was dead, and next, he needed to figure out the black bead in his mind.
With that thought, Jiang Yan quickened his pace and ran eastward, deliberately sticking to small paths.
He had deliberately headed toward the West City earlier to confuse them and buy himself time to escape from the East District.
Outside the East District was a small hill, and beyond that was a small town.
An hour later, Jiang Yan stood at the foot of the hill.
"Coo coo coo!"
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
"Woo woo!"
Under the cover of night, the small, hundreds-of-meters-high hill stood like a monster before Jiang Yan, with various calls of birds, insects, and animals emanating from within.
'No one should be coming to this damned place for now.' Jiang Yan looked around; it was pitch black. He then started walking up the hill.
After walking for a while, Jiang Yan stopped under a relatively spacious tree and then sank into his mind.
As his consciousness fell into his mind, inside the pitch-black consciousness space.
Faint white light appeared around the originally still black bead. This white light pulsed rhythmically, as if breathing.
At the same time, a piece of information entered his mind: Negative Emotions are full. Do you wish to summon? (The summoned entity will be 100% loyal to you. Each subsequent summoning will require more Negative Emotions.)
Feeling the information that appeared in his mind, Jiang Yan fell into thought: 'It seems I'll have to rely on these summoned entities if I want to resurrect Mom and Little Sister.'
Furthermore, the required Negative Emotions meant he had to actively take action.
'Summon!' Thinking this, Jiang Yan looked at the black bead and silently chanted the word in his heart.
Following his summons, the black bead glowing with white light in his mind trembled slightly.
Buzz! At the same moment, a mass of purplish-black cloud appeared out of thin air in the open space before Jiang Yan.
The cloud rapidly expanded to three meters high under Jiang Yan's slightly astonished gaze.
Rumble!
Strange rumbling sounds continuously came from within the cloud, stopping only after persisting for more than ten minutes.
After the rumbling faded, the purplish-black cloud also began to vanish quickly, and a tall figure appeared before Jiang Yan.
"What is this?" Looking at the figure before him, even Jiang Yan, who was mentally prepared, was shocked by its appearance.
Moonlight shone down through the leaves above. The monster before him was two meters tall, entirely pure black, and wore a black kasaya.
Its head was covered in bump after bump, and its face was full and plump. Although it had a benevolent expression, its pure black eyes were devoid of any emotion, possessing an eerie wickedness and oppressive aura.
Overall, it looked like a Buddha figure.
This Buddha stood quietly in front of Jiang Yan, watching him.
Whether it was an illusion or not, the continuous sounds of insects, birds, and animals immediately vanished with the appearance of this Buddha.
Simultaneously, an extremely small black light spot reappeared next to the black bead in Jiang Yan's mind.
Information about the monster before him began to appear in his head.
Ghost Buddha: A creature from a special world, existing as an energy body, capable of growing by devouring Mental Power!
Erosion Buddha Seed: Can consume energy to attach to a crystal and transform it into a buddha crystal. Creatures using the buddha crystal can erupt with more powerful strength for a short period! (The crystal carrier must be found independently.)
Buddha Slave: Can actively activate humans who have used a buddha crystal, turning them into Buddha Slaves! (Buddha Slaves gain a certain degree of power and speed enhancement, lose independent consciousness, and fight fearlessly.)
Sacrifice of Sentient Beings: Allows for resurrection and injury recovery by consuming Buddha Slaves infected by mental energy.
Ghost Sutra: Reciting sutras to launch a group mental attack and control enemies, allowing their physical bodies to feed the Buddha.
Looking at the information transmitted in his mind, Jiang Yan looked at the Ghost Buddha before him with eyes full of appreciation: "Truly a terrifying existence. Even the current me probably couldn't withstand a single round against you."
Looking at the Ghost Buddha, a series of ideas began to form in his mind. Perhaps he wouldn't have to hide anymore; he could go straight back and continue killing those bastards.
Just after Jiang Yan summoned the Ghost Buddha, a small black light spot appeared next to the black bead in his mind, circling it.
He could control the Ghost Buddha and use its abilities through this black light spot.
Outside the Song Family Castle in hq City.
The area was still sealed off by the Riot Police. Li Pubin sat quietly in his car, waiting for someone.
Knock knock! An Inspector came to the car door and tapped on his window. Li Pubin rolled down the window and looked at him.
"Director, someone is looking for you at the entrance. They say they are people from above." The Inspector spoke quickly, looking at him.
Li Pubin's eyes flashed: "They came so quickly? Hurry and bring them over, don't stop them."
"Yes!" The Inspector immediately jogged toward the entrance.
Li Pubin adjusted his uniform and then got out of the car.
At the entrance, an honest-looking middle-aged man was standing there with a delicate young girl.
Both were wearing black close-fitting clothes underneath, covered by gray protective gear resembling a bulletproof vest.
The middle-aged man was repeatedly watching Jiang Yan's video on his phone. The girl beside him, seeing his seriousness, couldn't help but say, "Master, he's just a newly awakened person with a Physical Ability. Do you need to be so serious?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man put down his phone and looked at the girl: "Xiaoye, although we are handling the simplest tasks, every task must be taken seriously. Don't underestimate anyone, or you might pay the price with your life if something goes wrong!"
"I know, I know." Seeing her Master enter lecture mode, Wang Xiaoye twitched her mouth and quickly admitted her mistake.
The Inspector who had notified Li Pubin jogged toward the two and respectfully said, "Sirs, our Director is waiting for you. Please follow me."
