119: Bloody Sacrifice

“Security Officers?”

A cold glint appeared in the eyes of Manager Yang and Secretary Huang.

“It seems they are just a bunch of foolish insects who can’t see the true world. Then let them all be sacrifices to the great lord of eternal life!”

Manager Yang and Secretary Huang’s expressions grew increasingly strange. Suddenly, they rushed towards the crowd with astonishing speed.

“You fat oaf, get lost!”

A burly man finally erupted, swinging a wrench, trying to force Manager Yang and Secretary Huang back.

“Hehehe! I am a favored one, serving a great existence!”

Manager Yang laughed eerily, grabbing the burly man’s wrist that held the wrench, and squeezed it with sudden force.

“Ah!”

A terrifying sound of bones cracking echoed, and the burly man let out a scream, dropping the wrench to the ground.

“Tieshan!”

Someone among the workers roared, grabbing a broom and smashing it towards Manager Yang.

“Hehehe!”

Manager Yang laughed eerily, kicking out and directly sending the broom flying.

He then quickly rushed over, grabbing with one hand, plunging it directly into that person’s chest, and pulling out a bloody heart.

On the other side, a worker already lay at Secretary Huang’s feet, his stomach torn open, his intestines pulled out by Secretary Huang and arranged into a bizarre symbol.

“Ahhh! Tieshan! Aqiang! Xiaoshuai! They’re killing people!”

“Run!”

The atmosphere in the entire workshop at this moment was incredibly terrifying and bizarre.

All the workers were almost scared senseless, frantically running out the back door.

“A bunch of blasphemous insects, all of you shall become sacrifices!”

Manager Yang and Secretary Huang chased after them, with chilling laughter.

The entire factory descended into chaos. People were constantly being brutally murdered by Manager Yang and Secretary Huang, their bodies arranged into strange shapes, like an ancient, eerie symbol.

Su Yuan watched, feeling a chill. The “eternal life” and “abyss creator” they kept shouting also made him wonder if they were referring to him.

Of course, he himself wasn’t that powerful, but if they weren’t referring to him...

Did such a terrifying entity truly exist in this world, one that could, because of its skill, turn others into such deranged beings, and whose strength was definitely not inferior to an Awakened One’s!

Su Yuan began to study this skill. Through Mind Whisper, he seemed to vaguely sense something. Besides Wang Dali, he faintly felt a connection with these two.

“Is it really because of me? I haven’t truly felt it, perhaps because the skill hasn’t been strengthened enough.”

Su Yuan muttered to himself, lost in thought.

Just then, as the alarm sounded closer, the Security Officers finally arrived.

At this moment, Manager Yang and Secretary Huang were chasing employees on the first floor of the factory building, where terrified shouts and curses echoed.

“Don’t move! Put your hands on your head and squat down immediately! I’ll shoot if you move again!”

The Security Officers who got out of the car looked at the strange symbol made of human bodies in the distance, a chill running through them. Seeing the two still committing murder, they immediately drew their pistols and shouted sternly.

“Hehehe! You are just Mortals, unable to see the true world, dwelling on an island of ignorance, unaware of the vastness of the real world.”

“Your so-called laws, morals, emotions, and interests are meaningless in the vast and real world.”

Manager Yang and Secretary Huang stopped, turned to look at the Security Officers, spoke with bizarre expressions, and then suddenly rushed over.

“Nonsense!”

That speed startled the Security Officers, giving them a feeling of encountering Mutated Creatures.

Mere humans, yet exploding with the speed of Mutated Creatures—this shocked them. Without time to think, they immediately opened fire on them.

Manager Yang and Secretary Huang had already begun to dodge when they saw their gestures, avoiding being hit. Changing direction, they ran towards the river next to the factory.

“Don’t run! You can’t escape, surrender quickly!”

The Security Officers hastily fired in that direction, seemingly hitting them, leaving blood on the ground.

However, Manager Yang and Secretary Huang’s bodies showed no signs of being affected, maintaining their astonishing speed, and quickly reached the riverbank.

The Security Officers quickly pursued them, but it was already too late.

Manager Yang and Secretary Huang leapt into the river.

When the Security Officers reached the riverbank, they could no longer see any trace of the two, only the deep river water.

As Security Officers, they naturally knew the dangers in the river these days.

“Those two jumping into the river are truly asking for death!”

One Security Officer said, panting.

“I’ve heard some people say that the river now might be even more dangerous than the mountains.”

Another Security Officer agreed.

“Don’t forget, these two don’t look like ordinary people. That speed just now, and being shot without seeming to be affected at all.”

At this moment, a Security Officer around forty years old said.

Su Yuan also returned to the river at this point, watching Manager Yang and Secretary Huang swim towards the lake at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary people.

Moreover, Su Yuan watched for five or six minutes, and neither of them made any movement to surface and breathe. They simply continued to dive and swim into the distance.

“They can breathe underwater now? That Wang Dali didn’t seem to be able to do that.”

Su Yuan finally stopped, quietly watching them leave.

He was also hesitating. His original goal was to kill these two, but he thought about testing his skill, which was why he hadn’t acted directly.

Now, seeing the two moving away, he hesitated whether to kill them.

Ultimately, Su Yuan still did not act.

These two were so deranged that they were completely different people from their past selves.

Moreover, perhaps as his skill strengthened, he could deepen his connection with these two.

Su Yuan recalled the words the two had just spoken—something about the creator of the abyss, the eternal one of primordial chaos—and a glint of ambition appeared in his eyes.

“Perhaps, after I achieve my small goal, I can make this my ultimate goal.”

“If I truly achieve this ultimate goal, supporting all of humanity would be a very simple matter.”

Just thinking about it made Su Yuan’s blood surge: “I can’t think too far ahead. For now, I need to devour enough evolution points and upgrade and evolve first.”

“This upgrade and evolution should allow me to Awaken new skills, and my strength will also become much greater.”

Su Yuan muttered to himself, entering a disguised state and swimming towards the town.

In the dark river, fish, shrimp, and crabs disappeared one after another, causing no ripples whatsoever... By the river next to the factory, six Security Officers held flashlights and ran along the riverbank in a circle, still finding nothing.

“They can’t possibly stay underwater without surfacing to breathe. Could they have been bitten to death by monsters in the water?”

A trace of fear flashed in one Security Officer’s eyes as he looked at the dark river.

More than one Security Officer from their Public Security Office had already perished in this river.

The once ordinary river had now become a river of death-bringing monsters.

“The condition of these two is very abnormal. If possible, try to capture them alive and interrogate them.”

The oldest Security Officer said.

He smelled a strange and familiar scent on these two.

“Xiaobai, Xiaolv, you two stay here and continue patrolling the riverbank. The rest of you follow me to handle the scene.”

Zhang Bangchao arranged, taking the other three Security Officers back into the factory.

Zhang Bangchao’s gaze immediately fell upon the strange symbol in the middle of the open space.

This symbol, arranged from human corpses, was incredibly bloody, twisted, dark, and chaotic.

“These two damned lunatics!”

The three Security Officers’ faces turned pale, their stomachs churning, almost making them vomit.

“Indeed, these two should be cultists, but there’s something different about them.”

Zhang Bangchao’s gaze was sharp, recalling events from over twenty years ago.

At that time, he had only been working for a few years when Shengmen Town experienced a cult incident.

Back then, hundreds of people were swayed.

However, the cult incident at that time, to put it plainly, was some people exploiting human weaknesses, using small tricks and words to deceive others to achieve the goal of accumulating wealth.

In essence, the founders of those cults themselves didn’t believe in the religions they created; everything was just for making money.

But the scene before him was completely different from what happened over twenty years ago, and even unlike any known cult incident in the country.

He had heard of some cult incidents that also caused casualties, but none were like this, arranging bodies into such a bizarre symbol.

Looking at this strange symbol, Zhang Bangchao felt a chill in his heart, as if it wasn’t a symbol, but a pair of eyes, scrutinizing him.
