64: Chapter 64 Continuous Killing

Yellow Hair stood up and was about to flee when Chu Xuan leaped in through the window, grabbed him by the hair, and slammed him against the wall, causing his face to contort.

With a mournful expression, he struggled to speak, "Big brother, wait, is there some misunderstanding? I don't think we know each other, do we?"

"You've forgotten me so quickly?" As Chu Xuan spoke, he glanced around and saw that the restroom was empty, which saved him some trouble.

Immediately after, he suddenly applied force with his palm.

Crack!

Yellow Hair's nose was pressed directly against the wall and snapped. Blood surged from his nostrils as he mumbled unclearly, "Big brother, take it easy, I really don't know you! Big brother, I beg you to let me go!"

"Fine, answer one question and I'll let you go." Chu Xuan leaned in close and suddenly asked, "What are your killing rules?"

Upon hearing this, Yellow Hair's expression shook violently.

In that instant, Chu Xuan didn't even need to look at his face to easily capture the fluctuations in his emotions—a mix of shock, unease, killing intent, and resentment.

"Big brother, what do you mean? I don't understand. How could I kill anyone? I'm a good person!"

Yellow Hair wanted to explain further, but it was already useless.

Chu Xuan directly closed the restroom door and locked it, then pushed Yellow Hair into one of the stalls containing a flush toilet.

"Brother, what exactly do you want to do? Do you want money? I can give you money, five thousand... no, I'll give you ten thousand!"

"I only want your head!" Chu Xuan pulled a fruit knife from his waist and drew it from its sheath.

Seeing this, Yellow Hair, who had been full of pleading and misery just a moment ago, instantly changed his expression to one of ferocity and violence, lunging to choke Chu Xuan.

Puchi!

Chu Xuan abruptly stabbed the knife into Yellow Hair's neck and pushed his head into the toilet bowl.

A massive amount of blood gushed out!

Yellow Hair's legs kicked frantically in a desperate struggle as he flailed against Chu Xuan's arm, but it was all in vain.

"Relax, take deep breaths. Dizziness is normal."

Chu Xuan held Yellow Hair's head down firmly. Blood splattered all over the inside of the toilet. Even after bleeding out for a full twenty seconds, Yellow Hair was still struggling.

However, the range and strength of his movements had clearly diminished significantly, and he only twitched occasionally.

Feeling that it was about enough and seeing that the blood hadn't splattered outside the toilet, Chu Xuan finally cut off Yellow Hair's head.

As Yellow Hair transformed into a monster with twisted limbs and brownish-yellow coarse fur, Chu Xuan held the corpse upside down and shook it before stuffing it headfirst into the toilet to prevent blood from overflowing.

Having finished this, Chu Xuan calmly wiped the blood from his hands and the fruit knife onto the corpse's clothes, then locked the stall door from the inside and climbed out over the top.

Finally, he unlocked the restroom door and returned the way he came, jumping out through the window.

The entire process took less than two minutes.

Afterward, even though people entered and exited the restroom from time to time, no one noticed anything unusual, assuming that the locked stall was simply occupied.

Chu Xuan repeated this process, killing two more Specters in the restrooms of Building B and Building E within fifteen minutes. Both were decapitated before they could trigger the conditions to transform into their Strange Creatures states.

This Small Commodities Market did not experience the slightest chaos and remained as crowded as usual. The only difference was that checkpoints had begun to be set up at the various entrances and exits of the market.

Inside the market, including the five shopping malls, the outer Food Street, and the inner Pedestrian Street, patrol personnel began to appear. Some were in law enforcement uniforms, while others were in black suits. Most carried riot shields and riot forks, and there was even a group of armed personnel with rifles on their backs.

Such a display naturally drew the crowd's attention, but it didn't cause a stir. People simply thought it was due to the high volume of foot traffic.

Far from being afraid, they felt a greater sense of security, assuming these people were conducting some kind of drill.

Not a single tourist noticed that these people were gradually spreading out to various points in the market, forming a large net that was slowly tightening toward one direction.

In the small breakroom of a Lottery Shop, Chu Xuan cut off the owner's head.

As the owner transformed into a Strange Creatures, Chu Xuan took off his blood-stained outer garment and casually grabbed a large leather jacket hanging on a hook to put on.

Then, he pulled a middle-parted wig from his pocket and put it on, lightly adjusted the large black-rimmed glasses on his nose, stepped into eight-centimeter hidden-heel platform shoes, and walked out of the small room.

"Closed for the day, not open for business."

After turning away someone who had just walked in to buy a lottery ticket, Chu Xuan casually pulled down the rolling shutter and walked away calmly.

With Chu Xuan's current Physique, he was sharp-eared and keen-eyed with a sensitive spirit. From far away, he had already sensed numerous official personnel closing in on his location.

Those people were either in black suits with earpieces or law enforcement officers with walkie-talkies, interspersed with armed personnel carrying rifles, creating a powerful deterrent.

But Chu Xuan was not afraid at all and walked calmly.

Directly in front of Chu Xuan, five people were approaching in a three-in-front, two-in-back formation. The stocky young man in the center was holding a tool that looked like a detection device.

The people on either side of him carried riot shields, while those behind held riot forks.

"Based on signal strength, the target is about five meters ahead of us!"

The man in the middle spoke coldly, and the others grew tense, their eyes scanning the dozen or so pedestrians, including Chu Xuan, like hawks.

Just then, a long-haired young man with a wretched aura walking beside Chu Xuan suddenly turned and bolted toward the right.

This movement immediately made everyone nervous, and they instantly gave chase.

Including some people surrounding the area from further away, they all quickened their pace. However, they didn't just rush in blindly; they were on high alert, alternating shields and forks, ready to intercept at any moment.

However, to everyone's surprise, the long-haired artistic youth was easily caught by a fork and then immediately pinned down by riot shields.

"No, wrong person!"

The stocky young man holding the detection device suddenly shouted.

The moment his voice fell, a man in a hoodie and mask to Chu Xuan's front-left suddenly turned and sprinted backward.

This once again triggered everyone's nerves. Almost everyone chased after that man, including several plainclothes officers.

Only the stocky young man remained dazed on the spot as if he had gone stupid, allowing Chu Xuan to brush past him along with the slightly chaotic crowd of tourists.

A full two or three seconds passed before he seemed to react, excitedly charging toward the hooded man who had been caught ahead.

Like a child who had caught a dragonfly, he skipped over in a manner completely inconsistent with his image, grinning widely, "Caught him! I finally caught him!"

In that very moment just now, Chu Xuan had activated the Heart Bewitchment ability, easily influencing those three people.
