Duan Fei muttered to himself. He was not loud, so the policemen beside him couldn't hear him. They looked at him in confusion and hesitated to speak. They had never experienced the terror of monsters before, so they were baffled by the Chief's anger. Director Duan was very good to his subordinates, especially to Wang Yue. It could be said that he was extremely obedient, but his current attitude was difficult to fathom.
Some people thought that Wang Yue might lose her favour.
Indeed, in front of the city council and even the provincial council, the case was solved within less than a week, and yet there was an incident where the police officer was injured. If word of this got out, it would definitely cause a strong shock and people would be afraid.
Unfortunately, no one knew that Duan Fei wasn't worried about his future, but the future of the Dragon City.
He seemed to be aware of the strength of the monsters, so he was actually protecting Wang Yue from moving alone. He was worried about the chain reaction after the monsters appeared, not just the humans, but also the possibility of more terrifying things appearing.
"I hope there's still hope."
Duan Fei didn't say anything for a long time before he turned around and left.
After Wang Yue returned home, she felt terrible in her heart, especially when she saw her subordinate injured. That arm was crushed right in front of her, but she was powerless to do anything. She nearly died at the hands of the monster, clenching her fists tightly and vowing to take revenge and capture the monster.
His father knew about his daughter's situation the first thing he did and called to comfort her. Wang Yue responded with a few words, then made an excuse to rest and hung up the phone.
"If I don't catch the monsters, it might cause more casualties for ordinary people. No, even if I were to be suspended, I can't just sit by and watch the monsters get off scot-free." Wang Yue couldn't sit still at home and started searching for the monsters outside.
The paper couldn't hold the fire.
The matter of the monster's appearance had still been uploaded to the internet, causing cries of alarm and fear.
Before, when the rate of criminal offenses in the Dragon City had soared, the citizens had not directly experienced it and were still in the dark. The battles in Mountain Meng were limited to the martial arts world, but the appearance of monsters, especially the spreading of rumors, made the news in the news media want to spread the news on the monsters overnight and get their eyes.
All of a sudden, countless monster reports appeared in the Dragon City's internet media.
After the Dragon City's Municipal Government was found out, the City Secretary Yang Guoyong flew into a rage. Many documents were sent out by the Public Information Department and the media had been ordered to be reorganized. The official media had been suppressed, but the news had spread like wildfire through the forums. Experts deny that the opposite is true.
Wang Yue came to the alley that was sealed off by the police and checked for traces of damage. The wound on the monster's chest was not light, so it definitely wouldn't be able to run far. She seemed to understand the personality of monsters very well. They were arrogant, domineering, bloodthirsty and cruel, looking down on everyone else. Man is his food.
Drip.
Wang Yue walked in the alley, searching with all her might.
Ah!
A blood-curdling screech sounded.
Wang Yue's mind shook slightly as she dashed toward the source of the scream. The sound came from the Heaven and Earth building that was not far from the alley. This was the back of the pedestrian walkway. Normally, very few people would come here, only a few local houses.
After rushing into the Heaven and Earth Pavilion, Wang Yue raised her vigilance and observed her surroundings.
No movement, no blood.
Weird, why isn't there that bloody aura?
"Ha ha!"
Laughter came from the room on the second floor. Wang Yue stopped and looked up. She could not help but get angry. It turned out that the voice was real. However, it was not a monster's attack. Rather, it was a group of young people joking around with the monster.
In the room, a thin and weak boy was curled up in a corner, looking at the scene in front of him with shock. A slightly older boy, wearing the clothes of a monster, had actually obtained something very similar to a monster, and was holding a monster's head and hat with a face full of ridicule.
"Coward, there are no monsters in this world. I think you should go home and drink some milk."
A group of people surrounded the little boy and roared with laughter.
The little boy was scared and cowered, but he still stubbornly said, "I have indeed seen monsters passing by my house."
"Idiot, do you think we will believe you?"
The group of companions were disdainful as they all accused the boy of being a coward. They probably felt that they had no interest in bullying him for a long time, so they all dispersed. The little boy still persisted in seeing monsters, but no one believed him.
When the children left, the little boy got up and muttered, "I've really seen monsters before."
Wang Yue shook her head and prepared to leave.
Buzz.
Suddenly, the sound of a monster came from inside the room. Wang Yue's body shuddered, and her delicate body couldn't help but tremble. She thought to herself, what a familiar voice, could it be … She approached the door of the room and looked inside.
Wang Yue saw an unforgettable scene.
There were two corpses lying on the ground. Judging from the clothes, it was a man and a woman. Their corpses were incomplete, and their heads had been eaten, leaving only their torso.
The little boy stared blankly at the corpse on the ground. He was so scared that he lost consciousness. He stood on the ground, waiting for the monster to swallow him.
The monster revealed a cruel look and let out a jeering laugh.
"Come, come to me."
The monster began to tempt him.
The little boy walked towards the monster step by step, passing by his parents' corpses. He was about to die at the hands of the monster. The monster stretched out its long tentacles and approached the boy's head. Its arms were wide open, revealing a bloody mouth and a bloody head with a pair of dead fish eyes. It was the little boy's father.
"Father."
The little boy wailed loudly.
The monster showed no mercy and was about to devour the boy.
Wang Yue could not wait any longer. She roared, "Stop it! Stop it right now!"
The tentacles stayed on the boy's head, sticky and dripping with liquid. The creature was not surprised by Wang Yue's appearance and said indifferently, "I let you escape last time, yet you still came here to die."
"Let him go!"
Wang Yue glared at him, wanting to rush forward to save him. The monster laughed as it grabbed the boy's head and hung him in the air. However, it didn't make a move. Its pale face faced Wang Yue and said, "If you obediently let me eat him, I'll let him go."
Wang Yue's heart pounded as she stopped in her tracks.
"You have no choice."
The monster threatened, "Sacrifice yourself and save others. If you, humans, are unwilling to even sacrifice yourself, how are you going to save others? "
Wang Yue's face turned pale. Her intuition told her that even if she promised the monster, the little boy wouldn't be able to live. But if he didn't, the little boy would definitely die. Facing a life and death situation, Wang Yue gritted her teeth and said without hesitation, "If you let him leave first, I won't fight back."
Monster harrumphed, "You don't have the right to negotiate with me. If not for the fact that I'm afraid of trouble, I would have swallowed you up long ago."
The little boy cried and called for his father.
Wang Yue sighed, knowing that she had no other choice. "I hope you can keep your promise," she said. He closed his eyes and waited for death to come.
The expression on the monster's face could not be seen, but the smell of blood permeated the air.
The two attacks suddenly shot out from the darkness, trying to pierce through Wang Yue's body.
Boom!
A beam of light fell straight down from the highest floor of the Heaven and Earth Tower, penetrating through the layers of the floor. In that moment of life and death, it pierced through the heart of the monster.1
The monster let out a tragic howl, revealing a terrified expression as it tried to escape. A single beam of light could hurt its essence, so how could it not be afraid? He didn't even have any thoughts of resisting and only wanted to leave this damned place.
But the light was like a dark nemesis.
