Chapter 67 : Blood and Flesh Piano
Chapter 67 : Blood and Flesh Piano
Looking inward from outside this anomalous domain, the street appeared calm and normal, but the faint sounds emanating from within made one involuntarily want to enter."Put on your headphones, and make sure not to drop them."
"Yes."
Everyone put on specially-made headphones to block out the noise. While hearing this noise wouldn't immediately infect them into anomalies, prolonged exposure would likely affect them.
Bai Ling walked in seemingly unaffected. For her, this level of mental attack was far inferior to the Blood Witch's whispers.
Upon entering this anomaly, Bai Ling only felt it was quite noisy, with noise everywhere. Everyone followed her deeper inside.
Just then, a man with a bloody, mangled head appeared by the roadside. His head had already transformed into an irregular shape. The moment he approached everyone, he suddenly extended a massive bloody maw from his neck, like a mouth that could devour a cow, lunging toward the group.
Chi Xiaoyu and Bai Ling were first to act. Chi Xiaoyu used her blade to block the anomaly's giant mouth while Bai Ling slashed from the side with a blood-red light, severing his neck.
After having his head cut off, the man didn't die but slowly stood up. Seeing this, Chi Xiaoyu swung two more strikes, severing his limbs.
Just when everyone thought this anomaly was dead, the limbless, headless body parts on the ground began to slowly writhe, gradually crawling toward them.
"What the hell is this thing?"
"So disgusting."
Su Wanying threw out a cluster of black flames, incinerating the body parts.
"Such strong vitality."
The group continued advancing toward the city center, slowly approaching the hotel at the very center. The closer they got to the hotel, the more infected people there were around. When they were only a few hundred meters from the hotel, the surrounding anomalies began to differ from before.
The anomaly before them had a bloody maw full of countless sharp teeth running from neck to waist across their chest. Their head sprouted several tentacles like flower petals, constantly swaying and exploring the surroundings. They had no eyes and could only sense their environment through the head tentacles, continuously ramming into surrounding pillars with their head.
"What kind of monster is this?"
"Wasn't it supposed to be infection-type anomalies caused by the pianist? How did the infection produce this thing? It's so ugly."
"If corpse anomalies from tainted objects are left unmanaged for too long, would they also become like this?"
"This one looks really strong." Ye Luo retreated fearfully behind everyone. She regretted being so eager to come along - this monster was terrifying.
While everyone was whispering, the monster seemed to sense something and suddenly extended its tentacles, striking the ground. Everyone immediately stopped making noise and slowly retreated.
The monster kept groping around, but after finding nothing, it continued ramming into surrounding buildings, constantly making noise.
Chi Xiaoyu gestured to Su Wanying, who nodded.
Chi Xiaoyu's body blazed with lightning, her blade coated with Su Wanying's black flames. Using the Thunder Anomaly's technique - Lightning Flash, time seemed to stop for an instant. Chi Xiaoyu traced an arc of light, slashing at the anomaly before returning to her original position.
When everyone came to their senses, they found the anomaly engulfed in black flames, constantly slapping around with its tentacles trying to find its attacker. But no matter how much it flailed, it couldn't find anyone, since its attacker had already retreated dozens of meters away.
"Is it dead?"
As the anomaly died, the black flames gradually dissipated.
"There are too many anomalies around. Let's go directly into that hotel - I can sense the source is inside."
Everyone followed Su Wanying to the hotel entrance. This was a luxuriously decorated hotel. The moment they stepped inside, the boy forcefully pressed down on the piano keys, producing a tremendous sound that sent out ripples of sonic waves.
"Listen, what beautiful music."
"Why do you all look so angry? Are you dissatisfied with my music?"
Since everyone was wearing headphones, they couldn't hear what the boy was saying. The boy frowned and slowly stood up, walking toward them.
"It seems there are still picky customers."
"If you can't appreciate my music, I'm also somewhat skilled in martial arts."
The thin boy's body began to expand, instantly transforming into a tall anomaly with a mouth like piano keys. His figure was bizarre yet elegant, standing two meters tall. He held a conductor's baton, and as he waved it, ripples appeared on the ground. Whether walls or ceiling, everything danced under his direction, constantly changing positions to attack everyone.
Block after block of square wall sections moved rapidly, crashing into everyone and producing tremendous noise. The surrounding anomalies also began gathering toward this location.
Su Wanying drew her black flame blade, continuously cutting through the flying wall sections. But the moment one wall section was cut open, the anomaly's mouth keys suddenly began to move, and the wall instantly shattered into musical note fragments that shot toward Su Wanying. Fortunately, Su Wanying reacted quickly and wrapped herself in black flames.
As the anomaly's mouth keys continued to move, building after building shattered into musical note fragments shooting toward everyone.
Bai Ling seized the opportunity to approach the anomaly, condensing a blood-red sphere in her hand and charging forward, colliding with the anomaly's body.
With a crisp sound, the anomaly's body developed a large hole. Its body was like a piano - hollow in the center. The damaged body continuously emitted noise.
The surrounding infected anomalies all moved toward him, and upon contact, they transformed into his flesh and blood, instantly healing his wounds.
Su Wanying summoned flame pillars from the ground, continuously spreading toward the anomaly. Just as they were about to strike, the anomaly suddenly raised his conductor's baton high, and the ground suddenly rose up into a tall mountain, blocking the flame pillar attack.
"Continue the music, continue dancing!"
The pianist anomaly continuously directed the surrounding anomalies with his baton. They suddenly began smashing their heads against the ground, repeating this action in unified rhythm. The pianist anomaly's mouth keys kept moving, and as those anomalies' bodies cracked open, flesh and blood reorganized and merged together. A massive piano made of flesh and blood slowly rose from the ground.
The anomaly slowly walked toward the flesh and blood piano, tremblingly raising his hands.
"Finally, success! This is the requiem I bring you!"
As his fingers continuously played on the piano, strong and powerful noise rang out. His aura became increasingly formidable. A ripple shook outward, sending everyone flying. Bai Ling, who was closest to the piano, was violently thrown against the wall, smashing a large crater and getting buried under falling debris. Dıscover more novels at ⓝovelFire.net
"I am the death singer, a mad pianist."
Bai Ling, buried under the building debris in the distance, transformed into a blood light and flew out, unable to help but complain.
"Hey, so you know you're crazy?"
