Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed

　　 "Do you know that there are new victims in the serial homicide in the old town."

　　 August 8th, 12:30 noon, the summer heat makes the street like a steamer.

　　 On the busy street, a group of students who looked like 17 or 18 were standing in the shade of the pedestrian street.

　　 Hongcheng No. 1 Middle School's barbecue restaurant dinner in the second and first class of high school is about to begin. The young people who decided to relax for the last time before the start of school rarely let go of the pressure for a while. They drank drinks and chatted with each other.

　　 "This morning's news of the city is all mosaicked."

A girl with long hair and shoulders holding a mobile phone, pretending to be serious, said to the friends beside her: "I heard that most of the victims' bodies are incomplete, and some of them are hard to identify... Guess what is missing? Location?"

　　 "You can close your fragrant mouth, and show respect to the dead!"

With a low shout, a tall horse is at least 1.8 meters tall, a girl with a long pony tail and waist slapped the other person on the shoulder heavily and interrupted her speech. She glared and said angrily: "We are now Going to dinner, you still said this, are you going to be stuffed with blood and fat when I wait!"

　　 "Woo, don't duck, I just want to preview the scene of my internship after entering the Central Criminal Judicial Academy~"

Without the slightest guilt, the girl straightened out the messy hair she was photographed, and continued her expression, "Koyanagi...It is said that the heads of the dead were cut off cleanly and even the skin was stripped. It's clean, hahahaha."

　　 After that, she didn't care about the classmates who had dinner with her. "Although I have been used to it, I still have a headache" in the eyes, and laughed very badly to herself.

　　——This kind of person cannot pass the political trial and psychological test alone!

　　 "There have been so many homicides recently. The 719 serial homicides a few days ago were only solved."

　　 And a tall boy who was half a head taller than most of the people in the room heard this.

He was chatting with Shao Qiming about the aspirations of the future academy, but now he was attracted by the topic of the girls, and he came and inserted a sentence: "My family is in the old city. I heard that those who died were elderly people living alone. Single women, guys who go out in the middle of the night... Generally speaking, the murderer is a bully and fearful of hardship."

　　 With his figure, this sentence is really convincing.

　　 "Even if it is a waste of bullying and fear of hardship, it is a lunatic who dares to kill. Don't be aggressive. Call more people when you go out recently. Be careful." A friend frowned and suggested.

　　 "There have been too many lunatics recently. The prisoner of the 719 murder case had killed more than a dozen people before he was caught. I don't know if the patrol can catch this lunatic sooner." Some people were worried.

　　 On this topic, everyone talked about it, and the atmosphere became fiery.

During the period near the beginning of school, many strange rumors have emerged one after another, and vicious crimes have also been increasing. Even high school students who should turn a deaf ear to things outside the window are also confused because of family discussions and the panic of the entire environment. Know a little bit.

　　 Their discussions are not just gossip and gossip, they can also be regarded as pacifying each other's panic and uneasiness, using their peer groups to paralyze themselves, and coping with these ‘abnormalities’ that occur around them.

　　 "Speaking of which, where is Su Zhou? Isn't his house patrolling?"

　　In the middle of the discussion, a girl suddenly thought of a fan of strange horror events in her class: "He must know something inside!"

　　 "He didn't come today, saying that he was a little uncomfortable?"

　　 Shao Qiming blinked. He was not very good at lying. He used a very unconvincing and even questionable sentence as a reason: "...it seems to be uncomfortable, suffering from a stomachache...you just listen."

　　 "He is sick? I can't tell if I don't want to come. This is a terrible reason. I went to middle and high school together for five years, and I never sneeze before seeing him!"

　　 "Wow, the virus that can make Brother Zhou sick and even unable to get out of the house to eat barbecue? If there is, I am afraid that all the people in the city are dead now!"

　　 "I made a phone call and asked about the situation. I didn't have a performance by Brother Niu. I would eat one cow a day and solve the appetite of 20 plates of beef tongue, 20 plates of cowboy bones and 30 plates of fat beef in one hour. The barbecue is boring."

　　 nodded in agreement, a classmate beside him was also a quick-tempered temper. He simply picked up the phone and made a call.

　　DiDiDiDi...

　　 "Awei? What can I do for you?"

　　 The call was connected, and there was a voice from the other end, which sounded a bit low. A muffled voice: "Aren't you going to dinner? Why are you still looking for me with your own heart."

　　 "Listening to this voice, you actually have a cold?!" The boy named Awei showed a very shocked expression on the other end of the phone: "Is the world going to be destroyed!?"

　　 and knowing some inside information, Shao Qiming smiled wryly on the side

　　——At this time, I still dare to answer the phone...You are really a bold person.

"In fact, it's nothing, just want to ask... I'm sorry to disturb you to rest." This dull nasal sound is indeed not a fake. A Wei, who feels disturbing others' rest, feels a little embarrassed: "That's it, it's about the old city. Do you know anything about the murder case? After all, your family is patrolling. Any news?"

　　 "If there is any inconvenience, don't talk about it, I just ask casually!" After that, Ah Wei thought of something and hurriedly added another sentence.

　　 "The murder case..."

　　The sound line stretched, and Su Zhou's voice on the other side of the phone became meaningful, "This thing...Bang!"

　　 "Wait, I have something to do, I'll talk about it later."

　　 Perspective change.

　　 The floor is full of photos and confetti, and the room is full of rancid and **** corpses.

Everything was knocked over. The tables and cabinets were swept aside. In the center of the vacant floor, there was a complicated magic circle that seemed to be drawn with mercury. At the core of this circle, there was one that was firmly secured by a nylon rope. Middle-aged man tied up.

　　 His mouth was stuck with tape, and only his neck and eyes could move freely. The middle-aged man was still asleep, with a cross symbol painted with holy water on his forehead, which made him feel a burst of clarity that he hadn't felt for a long time.

　　 But now, he was awakened by the sound of Su Zhou's words. The man looked around and noticed his own condition. He suddenly began to struggle in shock and made a sound of "Woo".

　　 "Huh!"

　　 Just as he was struggling, a spear swept across, and while the wind was blowing, the spiral point of the spear steadily touched the middle-aged man's forehead.

　　 The purple and blue magic fire burned at the gun head, exuding magnificent aura like a nebula, and at the same time, it also made the middle-aged man who tried to make a sound close his mouth firmly.

Lifting his head reluctantly, the middle-aged man saw a beautiful young man whose body was shrouded in the shadows, watching him with pity or indifference. The pressure at the upper end of the dragon and snake spirit level caused his body to spasm, and then completely collapse.

　　 "You woke up."

He said hello softly, and then raised the phone again. Su Zhou smiled again and said to the classmate on the other end of the phone: "Although I can't say a lot of things, I can tell you that the murder case in the old city will be over soon. ——The murderer has been found, and the news will probably be broadcast in a day or two."

　　 Although there was a smile on his face, Su Zhou's eyes were extremely indifferent, and his relaxed tone really looked like a normal big boy if he didn't look at the horror surrounding him.

　　 After chatting with classmates for a while, Su Zhou hung up the phone.

　　 He twisted his wrist, raised the middle-aged man's chin with the spine of the spear, lifted his head, and forced him to look directly into his eyes.

　　 Seeing this man's fearful, puzzled and confused eyes, Su Zhou didn't have any sadistic pleasure, and there was even a trace of deep sadness in his eyes.

　　 "Li Zhi, the marketing manager of Zhenghui Real Estate, originally lived in Building No. 402, Liyu District, has a wife and a daughter, and lives in harmony on weekdays. There is no derailment or factors that may cause family instability. He has a happy life and everything is well."

"But in the past three months, your wife and her daughter suddenly moved out and cut off contact with you, and you also moved from Liyu Community to this old building in the old city, and took a long vacation at the company... you know Why is this?"

　　 "Woo woo woo?!"

Listening to the chaotic whine of the other party, Su Zhou nodded and said calmly: "You must be thinking, why would you encounter such a thing like this? Obviously, you didn't do anything, but your wife was scattered, and you would still be caught by me. This kind of person comes here?"

　　 "Want to know the truth?"

　　 "Woohoo!" Although the middle-aged man could not speak, he nodded desperately. He is completely at a loss now, and coupled with the torture of these recent days, his fragile spirit can't support thinking at all.

　　 Facing Su Zhou's question, what else could he do except promise? I can only nod desperately, and I understand that I must die.

　　 "Now. I will tell you the truth."

　　 Su Zhou did not play with his thoughts, he said straightforwardly: "You are already dead."

Under the eyes of the middle-aged man suddenly widened, Su Zhou faintly told the truth: "Li Zhi, as a human being, you have died five years ago. Since then, your soul has been alienated. The monsters of the Doomsday Twilight were swallowed, and the body was taken up-it was not'Li Zhi' who was listening to me now. It was the'protective shell' made by the Twilight True Demon from the residue of his soul in order to hide."

"Recently, the aura has revived, and it has also regained consciousness. Every night, you will go out to hunt the living, chop off their heads, condense their blood and soul, so that this demon has more choices of faces-in the future, it can abandon you. This face, which has no use value, uses the faces of other people and hides in the city, causing chaos, suspicion and destruction."

　　 After saying this, Su Zhou put away his spear, he turned around, raised his hand, and pulled up the stern shutters that covered the windows, letting the noon sun shine into the room.

　　 After Su Zhou finished all this, he let out a long sigh.

　　 "I could kill you a long time ago, but I have set rules for myself. I will never hurt innocent people who don't know anything-at least innocent people who I feel are ignorant."

　　 "In order for you to belong to that part of the human soul and rest in peace, you must know the truth."

　　 turned his head again, Su Zhou's side face was illuminated by sunlight, revealing a sacred meaning, while the other side was in the shadows, only the blue and purple dragon pupils could be seen releasing cold aura.

　　 That mingled with awe-inspiring sympathy, and the expression of sighing, directly caught the man's eyes.

　　 "Oh, oh?! Ooh!!!"

With a look of surprise on his face, he seemed to want to laugh and cry. The middle-aged man named Li Zhi twisted his body frantically. He looked at the fake compassionate young man in front of him with hatred. He didn't believe this absurdity. Nonsense...

　　……

and many more……

　　 The vocal cords that hadn't spoken for a long time were agitated, and the throat that had swallowed a lot of blood, had swallowed a lot of flesh and brain, wanted to vibrate and make a sound.

　　 The stench full of rotting and **** smells spilled out from the deepest part of the body, flooding the tip of the nose and the brain.

Li Zhi's eyes were dull for a moment, his stomach instinctively wanted to retching, but he couldn't vomit anything...Yes, he hadn't eaten food or drank water for three months... Then he How did it survive?

　　 At the moment when the man began to doubt his abnormality, there was a crisp cracking sound, which sounded in the deepest part of his mind and soul.

　　 Something rises from the deepest part of the spirit, the center of the residue, and the memory that is obscured by a certain power, under the light of the spirit released by Su Zhou, returns to the surface of Li Zhi's thinking.

　　 The man suddenly recalled the scene when he died five years ago.

　　——It was a dusk where the clouds gradually silted up, and it was dimmer than the night.

　　 humming the song, he stuffed his wife into the umbrella and took it out. His daughter also embroidered a cute pink rabbit on it-of course, it would leak some water, but who cares!

　　 "What did my wife do tonight~"

　　 At the moment when I was expecting and returning home under an umbrella, it was the moment when the heavy rain was pouring down, and the thick clouds covered all the sunlight and plunged everything into darkness.

　　 The invisible shadows gush out from the cracks in the alien world that did not know when, and wrap themselves in the alleys.

　　 The inexplicable evil invades the body, devouring the soul and spirituality.

　　【Twilight Magic】

　　The lowest and most vicious monster from another world, a monster whose roots are destruction, doom, and twilight.

It uses the body and soul of intelligent life as a vessel for incubation, and uses the residue of the soul to make a shell and skin like the'current Li Zhi', protecting its fragile itself before incubation-all human residues that have long been dead will not be aware of it. I was already dead, and I would go home humming a song, and spend the incubation period called'embryo' together with his wife, husband, children, relatives and friends.

　　【Everything is silent. He was already dead. 】

　　 Li Zhi suddenly understood that he was already dead.

　　Recently, the aura has recovered and the true demon awakens. "It" gradually takes over its own body and starts hunting and killing people unconsciously, devouring the spirituality and flesh and blood of other intelligent creatures, and strengthening the true body of the true demon.

　　 It was precisely because I realized that my situation was wrong, that I drove away his wife and daughter, and moved to...

　　 Ah... so that's it... I... early...

　　 Thinking is about to fall into pure nothingness. A man doesn't know whether he should cry or laugh. He doesn't want to die, but he doesn't want to turn himself into such a monster and hurt his family.

　　 But, is there any choice?

　　 When Li Zhi is about to completely collapse and turn into a real demon.

　　 A hand stretched out and tore the tape from the man's mouth.

　　 Su Zhou seems to be gentle, but in fact he can't refuse to stand up the man, letting him face the sunlight, who is tightly bound, and can watch the street and the flow of people outside the window.

　　 Su Zhou and Li Zhi looked out the window together. He calmly said, "Look at the sun."

　　 "Look at the world."

At last……

　　 "Look at the picture of your family of three."

　　 The middle-aged man whose eyes gradually became silent suddenly saw that a photo of his family of three appeared in front of him.

　　 The daughter who is jumping around in the park, who is cheering, sits on the side of the chair, and the wife who is smiling helplessly.

　　 And, like a fool, closely behind her daughter, afraid that she would fall.

　　 This is a precious memory that someone has specially invited to take a photo, and it has been preserved by the entity... His wife and daughter smiled in his mind.

　　——Yes...No, hurt them...

In the memory, I found an excuse to get angry and drove his wife and daughter back to their hometown in the country... I noticed something wrong with me and the wife who was intentional behind her left in tears, but in the end she said to comfort her daughter.' Dad was just a little anxious, we went to the countryside to play with grandpa and grandma.'

　　 is really a good wife, her life partner. She may still be waiting for her to return to normal.

　　 But she didn't know that "Li Zhi" had already died five years ago.

　　 Thinking of this, the man's eyes gradually recovered a little spirituality.

　　 Then, facing the sun, he shed tears.

　　——Yes, I understand. In this case, if I die, it will be relief...

　　 just...

　　 Really... sorry.

　　 The black man in his seven orifices turned his head hard, and Li Zhi looked at Su Zhou who was expressionless, his stiff muscles seemed to want to pull a smile.

　　 He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, nothing came out.

　　——Thanks, thank you...

　　 The soul of "Li Zhi" intermittently popped out of the last point of human consciousness. Then, with a sound like glass shattering, the shadow spread, and the dusk gushing from the depths of the body took over the body.

　　 He is transforming-completely from the "human", from the inside to the outside, it is corroded and replaced with the "Twilight True Demon", turning into a node where the "Twilight" erodes the world.

　　 "Completely dead...bye, no thanks."

　　Because this is the morality I insist on.

　　 Watching ‘Li Zhi’’s expression gradually returned to normal from collapse, some strange lines began to appear on his body, and the dim light flashed, and black air drifted like mist, covering the whole room.

　　 Su Zhou couldn't help sighing, sighing for Li Zhi's last trace of human will.

　　 Then, he solemnly threw Li Zhi's body back to the center of the circle, and activated the mercury ritual that covered the floor.

　　 Located in the center of the circle is the sawdust fragments wrapped in a small crystal box.

　　 "Purify the ritual, lest you die and explode, pollute the place and harm others."

　　 drew a small bottle from his belt, Su Zhou randomly splashed the almost semi-solidified holy water, and the fire of spiritual power burned, turning it into water mist, filling the room with white light mist.

And in the circle, because of the strong power of God’s Holy Spirit in the air, the holy runes light up one by one, and the white light spreads all over the room, pressing all the black energy on the ninth floor back to the bound firm. The body of the evil demon.

　　 "Crack—Crack!"

Accompanied by the creaking sound of bone friction, the humanoid "Twilight Real Demon" wriggled violently because of the almost sulfuric acid corrosion of the holy water. It seemed to want to break free from the blockade, but the rope tied by Su Zhou perfectly restrained all the power points , Even if this evil demon has the ability to reach the sky, it can't do anything with this person's torso, unless it deforms into a strange body.

　　 But it does not have this opportunity.

"rest in peace."

　　 With a blue-purple light shining in his eyes, he raised his spear and Su Zhou pierced through the head of'Li Zhi' with a single shot.

It can be seen that now, this middle-aged man’s body has undergone various changes. The deformed meat strips and limbs have broken through the clothing and scratched the floor. The slightly fat body has begun to metamorphose, and it will completely become a source of being. The most ugly monster the boarder imagined.

A monster like 　　 did not die even if it was shot through its head. It was still struggling and wriggling, cutting the rope with its deformed meat strip that was gradually becoming stronger and harder, and wanted to regain its freedom.

　　 "And you, just die a little bit worse for me!"

　　 Aura rose in his hand, Su Zhou did not hesitate, he let go of the hand holding the gun, grabbed the head of the immobile monster, and firmly pressed it on the spot.

　　 At this time, due to the deformed body of the Twilight True Demon, he was about to break free from the rope, and the black energy that permeated his body gradually overwhelmed the light of the formation.

　　 But now, when inserted into the real demon, the dazzling demon fire and holy brilliance ignited at the head of the cross spear like a centipede with a big jaw tail thorn. It burns blazingly, like a flame ignites natural gas, it swallows all the black magic energy in an instant and turns it into its own nutrients!

The sacred water mist, the purifying rituals, and the fiercely burning magic fire, the three powers, with the continuous support of spiritual power, directly envelop the entire real demon body, before it has time to transform into a complete body. , Burn it directly into a black mummy!

　　 Boom!

This mummy seems to want to explode after losing its activity, but the mercury in the purification circle also shines brightly at this time. They rise up, as if they have their own lives, completely wrapping and sealing the whole mummy. , Suppressing all the black energy that intended to erupt, forced it to retract into the range covered by the blue and purple magic fire, and was squeaked by the scorching fire.

　　 The black air melts, and the magical nature burns away.

　　 In a short while, in silence, even the final spirituality of this true demon was completely wiped out.

　　 And a black ball of light the size of a human fist just like that, appeared in the hands of Su Zhou, who was silent, standing still.

　　 [Evil Soul of the Twilight Demon]

　　 [The soul of the twilight demon who has not yet been fully born]

　　【A ghast with destructive power】

　　 [After use, it can increase a small amount of all-round mental resistance and strengthen the soul's toughness]

　　 [It can also be turned into an enchantment of "Crazy Spirit" through spiritual calcination, attached to all equipment and props]

　　【The Twilight Real Demon is induced by nothingness】

　　 [All transcendents who intend to break free from death are their natural enemies]

　　 "Yara, the real devil, can you kill it?"

　　 In the long silence, holding this black, the first ghast he hunted, Su Zhou didn't have any joy. He asked his covenant softly.

"Perhaps."

　　 And Snake Ling replied softly ~www.readwn.com~ with intriguing meaning: "At least, the total number of them into the mortal world cannot be unlimited."

"Well."

An extremely determined voice sounded. Su Zhou grabbed his spear and pulled it out of the real demon's corpse that had turned into ashes. He turned around with the spear in his hand. The corpse turned into smoke behind his back, and a spherical blood-colored crystal fell to the ground. , Grumbling rolling.

　　 used to look forward to ‘change’, but now, the super-power who has clearly known the ‘cost of change’ stares out the sunny window, behind which is the shadow of blood and corpses.

　　 "I want to hunt all monsters." He said so, narrating his thoughts: "With the gun in my hand, in the name of the Demon Eater, this hunt will continue forever."

　　 "Until, the end of the'Magic'."

　　——This is the planet where humans and demons coexist.

　　 The evil **** erodes the world through the family members, and the monsters from the dusk lurking in the human body, playing with the soul inside the shadow.

　　 And visitors from aliens and other worlds are hidden in the crowd, observing this crazy world.

　　 Su Zhou, an ordinary student, encountered a sacrifice from a mysterious organization during the trip.

　　 Due to some accident, he has the ability to swallow the soul and become stronger.

　　 Since then, he has sworn to hunt the souls of demons and sinners.

　　 Regarding any existence that can be called a ‘demon’, he doesn’t mind using the most evil means, nor does he care about anyone’s opinion, whether it’s a torture, a trap, an ambush or a surprise attack.

　　 He will make it without hesitation, in order to become stronger, in order to...

　　 Justice.

　　 In the name of justice alone, devour evil.

　　Unlike ordinary exorcists all over the world, he is the only "Cthulhu Hunter" in this world.
