232: Chapter 232 Chaos Erupts

The daytime arrived.

The light was slightly dim, and a faint haze permeated the air, which was completely different from the bright sunlight before the night.

"Th-this... what is this?!"

Countless exclamations and shouts rang out.

The vast majority of people who had failed to enter the civil air defense shelters and were still on the streets subconsciously looked up at the sky after the sudden appearance of light, all stunned by the scene before them.

The sky over Haicheng had been completely replaced by an incredibly huge vortex, which was slowly rotating, while below it stood an incredibly huge blood-red ring-shaped phantom.

"Is this the end of the world?"

"What exactly happened? Why is it like this..."

Some people still hiding indoors were also looking outside through their windows at this moment; they were all stunned with fear, an indescribable terror lingering in their hearts, unable to believe everything before their eyes.

Many people's brains had already effectively crashed, completely losing the ability to think, blankly staring at the scene before them.

All means of communication had been cut off. Official vehicles were driving on the streets, continuously broadcasting warnings through loudspeakers, telling the public to stay in their homes, close their doors and windows, and absolutely not go out.

At the same time, they appealed to those who had already become Werewolves not to be bewitched and not to harm humans during the night, otherwise, it would only cause the situation to develop in a more serious direction.

Until twenty minutes later, a hoarse laughter abruptly rang out:

"The first daytime has ended. The number of Werewolves killed is 8, and the remaining number is 314..."

"My dear children, during the daytime, you must be careful to hide your identities, especially those Transcendents. Perhaps... you can try to perform Assimilation on them at night, making them join your same camp..."

"In addition, I would like to offer a friendly reminder to everyone: if someone became a Werewolf within the first five minutes of the previous night and fails to successfully perform Assimilation on someone during the next night, then after dawn, their flesh will immediately explode."

"Then, the next night... begins!"

Haicheng fell into darkness once again.

"Mommy, I'm scared..."

In an ordinary residential building, the clear, trembling crying of a little girl rang out from one of the apartments.

"Don't be afraid, Nannan, Mommy is here." The young woman hugged her daughter tightly, holding back her own sobbing voice as she said, "As long as we are obedient and hide at home, we will definitely be safe and sound, and someone will come to save us."

"Shh! Don't make a sound, we had better be quiet..." A man's deep voice rang out: "Don't lead the Werewolves over here."

"Mm." The little girl's crying was instantly suppressed until it was barely audible.

Bang!!

Just at this moment, a series of violent crashing sounds came from the door outside.

"Oh no, someone is ramming the door!"

Accompanied by a clattering sound, the man lunged behind the door, pressed tightly against it, and emboldened himself, shouting angrily at the outside: "Get away quickly! I don't care who you are, you are not allowed to come in and hurt my family!"

Bang! Bang!

There was no answer from the outside, only the continuous ramming of the door.

The man gritted his teeth and shouted: "This is a newly installed security door; you can't possibly break it down, leave quickly!"

Although he said that, only the man himself knew clearly that this was actually still the door originally installed by the developer. The reason he said that was just to try and trick the guy outside who was ramming the door into leaving.

The crashing sounds continued one after another. Although the door hadn't been broken open, the violent vibrations caused the man's shoulders extreme pain, as if it would be broken through at any moment.

From outside, "chi chi" sounds were heard from time to time, as if sharp claws were scratching at the door.

"Honey!" "Daddy!"

The mother and daughter in the darkness both groped their way over to block the door. But after the door was hit, the occasional cracking sound of "ka ka" caused the family of three to be filled with immense terror.

The three of them blocked the door tightly, begging incessantly.

The little girl screamed: "Please don't ram it anymore, at worst I'll let you eat me, just don't hurt my mommy and daddy..."

Suddenly.

The ramming outside the door stopped, and everything returned to silence.

"Did they leave?" the young woman's voice rang out, her heavy breathing mixed with intense panic.

The little girl cried and said: "Thank you, thank you..."

At this moment, a voice filled with sobbing came from outside as well: "This is already my second night. If I can't perform Assimilation on one more person, I will die when it dawns. I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

The footsteps faded into the distance, and the room fell into a brief silence.

The little girl asked, not understanding the situation.

And the woman's voice instantly began to tremble: "That voice said that as long as you stay within a three-meter range for five minutes, you can perform Assimilation on a person. Honey, you..."

A broad arm pulled the woman into an embrace: "It's okay. It's fine if I become a Werewolf; that way I can better protect you all. I won't let anyone come in!"

In the darkness, the woman let out hysterical sobs.

That night, similar things were happening all over Haicheng. Even hiding at home was not safe; some people were even subjected to Assimilation by someone downstairs through the ceiling, becoming new Werewolves.

As for those gathered in various civil air defense shelters, as someone subconsciously screamed in terror, "How did I become a Werewolf?", chaos erupted, and quite a few people were trampled to death in the darkness.

As dawn broke again, that hoarse voice appeared once more in everyone's ears.

"The second night has ended. The cumulative number of Werewolves killed is 39, and the total number of Werewolves is 896!"

"How truly sorrowful and stupid. I clearly warned that if you cannot perform Assimilation on one person for two consecutive nights, you will explode. Yet, there are people who do not cherish their lives. How pathetic..."

"However, there are those who are clear-headed with good adaptability. You have successfully performed Assimilation on one person for two consecutive nights. I have high hopes for you. You only have eight nights left before you can escape, so keep working hard..."

As this voice faded, a large crowd surged out of the civil air defense shelters in various places, fleeing on the streets. Cries and shouts rose and fell, merging into one.

The haze permeating the air took on a faint red glow, the rotation speed of the vortex in the sky accelerated, and the huge ring-shaped phantom below became even more solid.

The hoarse voice was pious yet frantic:

"My great True God, the Dominator of All Spirits, please enjoy to your heart's content the feast I have offered to You!"

"Screams and wails are the hymns I have composed for You; sweet and delicious flesh is the pigment I have outlined for You..."

"Please let your great power descend upon this place, let this city be filled with divine light, and become an extension of your kingdom!"

"Also, please grant me true attributes. I am your most devout servant, and also your most humble lamb... The rest of my life shall only be for your glory..."

Inside the confinement room.

In the ears of Chu Xuan, whose body was still entwined with Black Flame and whose consciousness was blurry, a reluctant wail from the Phantom Demon suddenly rang out:

"Oh great Dominator of All Spirits, you are the only True God. I am willing to serve you as my Lord, to be your most devout believer. Please save me from this suffering..."

The surging Black Flame suddenly dimmed, becoming extremely weak.

Chu Xuan suddenly woke up. He saw that the remaining time indicated by the System had actually stopped decreasing, stalling at 8 hours, 25 minutes, and 32 seconds, and that "spirituality value +1" prompt no longer appeared.

The Phantom Demon shouted in pleasant surprise: "Grateful to the Dominator of All Spirits, the rest of my life shall only be for your glory, only for your praise and worship..."

However, in the very next second, the Black Flame surged up again, and even more intensely than before.

[spirituality value + 2]

[spirituality value + 2]

[...]

"Ah!! No, Final Phantom God save me..."
