687: Wailing Golem

Chapter 687: Weeping Statue

Bang!

A large hand extended vertically, then slapped downwards, as if bracing against The Ground, and then the other hand...

Immediately after, a head emerged.

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts when they saw this head.

It was like the face of a statue, with that sculpted feel, and it was incredibly lifelike, yet you knew it wasn't a real person—half-real, half-fake, neither human nor inhuman. It instantly triggered the uncanny valley effect. (You can refer to Thomas’s train face)

Coupled with its distorted limbs as it “crawled” out, the uncanny valley effect was amplified even further.

The face of this giant “statue” wore an expression of sorrow and pity.

As if it couldn't bear to see the suffering in the human world.

The statue fully emerged, standing thirty meters tall, predominantly white in color.

“This is a Weeping Statue!” Lily's face changed slightly, and she couldn't help but cry out.

“What is a Weeping Statue!?” The people from the Special Task Force Bureau were seeing this kind of demon for the first time.

Even most Exorcists had never seen one.

Only those experienced Exorcists, those who had seen much over the years, could recognize it.

“This is an extremely rare demon! If Scarecrows and Blade Demons are considered low-level demons, then a Weeping Statue is at least a high-level demon! There’s at least a two or three-tier difference between them!” Lily said with a frown, “But logically, Weeping Statues should only exist in the Inner World, and they are... motionless...”

This was also why only those experienced Exorcists, those who had gone through “years,” would know.

Because only by constantly entering the Inner World, whether for demon extermination or exploration,

Would one have the chance to discover the motionless Weeping Statues!

Their numbers are scarce, but considering the Inner World, which is of unknown size but at least as large as the real world, their total sum is not small.

However, when you see it, it will just stand there quietly, as if in prayer, coupled with the compassionate expression on its face.

In a place like the Inner World, it would give people an even deeper sense of despair and dread.

If you were lucky enough... you might even hear weeping.

That kind of weeping isn't a sound; it's as if it's sorrow itself, and it would greatly affect your mind.

If your mental state was poor... there's a high chance you'd fall into despair, unable to extricate yourself, and die of melancholy.

But now, the Weeping Statue actually moved!

And it even walked out on its own!

This was simply a fantasy!

Is this even right?

“Not good! Everyone evacuate immediately! Evacuate!!!” Lily remembered something and immediately shouted loudly.

But it was too late, or rather, when the Weeping Statue appeared, everything was already set in stone.

Mmm~~~

An inexplicable sound echoed between heaven and earth.

“This world... is not worth it, not worth it!”

“It's too despairing, I don't want to live anymore...”

“What am I even holding on for...”

“Living is just like that...”

Even soldiers with strong wills suddenly fell into a trance, mumbling to themselves.

Suddenly, they raised their guns and committed suicide.

Bang, bang, bang!

Countless gunshots rang out.

Even some Exorcists couldn't withstand it.

For ordinary people, the Weeping Statue was a death sentence!

A mindless, crushing death sentence!

The Special Task Force Bureau member who was just talking to Lily almost committed suicide, but Lily stopped him.

However, the latter collapsed there; even if he didn't commit suicide, his mind was about to break down.

He wouldn't survive anyway.

It’s over!

In an instant, 90% of the people present died.

The remaining ones were mostly Exorcists like half-demons and demons.

Everyone looked at the Weeping Statue, and a sense of despair immediately surged into their hearts.

“Hit it!”

The half-demons and demons all transformed into their demonic forms.

They began to launch attacks towards the Weeping Statue.

Gu Yu, on the other hand, controlled the black box, and countless dark-red light waves shot towards the Weeping Statue.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Those light waves continuously bombarded the Weeping Statue's body.

The fierce impact pushed it back a step.

Boom!

The Weeping Statue stomped its foot on The Ground, causing The Ground to tremble.

Its head slowly turned towards Gu Yu.

Ding! The next moment, its eyes lit up with blue light.

“Not good! Dodge!” Gu Yu was startled and didn't care about the black box anymore, immediately rushing to the side.

Lily also didn't stay in place.

Ye Zian didn't know the reason, but he immediately followed and ran.

Boom!!!

The Weeping Statue's eyes suddenly shot out blue light waves.

In an instant, they bombarded Gu Yu's previous position.

Terrifying energy fluctuations instantly erupted.

Ye Zian, who had rushed out, was instantly overtaken by the energy impact, and a terrifying force directly slammed into his body.

Pfft!

Ye Zian spat out a mouthful of blood.

It felt like an ordinary person being hit by a large truck.

Like a kite with a broken string, he flew out, crashed through a wall, and fell into a house.

Gu Yu and Lily, on the other hand, withstood the shockwave with their powerful bodies.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Various energies continuously erupted from the Weeping Statue's body.

The attacks from the half-demonized and demonized Exorcists also landed on its body, but compared to its massive body, their attacks were merely like giving it a pedicure.

They left no marks on its body.

This colossal being was even more of a war machine than a war machine!

Mmm~~~

Another wail.

The mental impact made everyone momentarily dazed.

The Weeping Statue lifted a foot and stomped down heavily.

The Exorcists immediately fled.

But there was one unlucky fellow who was slow to recover; by the time he wanted to run, it was already too late.

Boom!!!

The earth shook and the mountains swayed; after one stomp, only a puddle of flesh remained.

With the appearance of the Weeping Statue, the dark-red substance began to swell.

It continuously eroded and spread, directly consuming any houses or buildings it encountered along the way.

The houses and buildings also turned dark red.

This included the tanks and armored vehicles left behind earlier, which also turned dark red as if dyed.

And from the bodies of the people who had died, streams of black “sludge” emerged, enveloping them.

Then, from within the sludge, demons grew.

Numerous demons rose from The Ground.

“Damn it!” Seeing this, the Exorcists immediately took action to kill these demons around them.

As for whether they cared about these former companions, sorry, even if they cared, they wouldn't stop killing them.

A demon is a demon! Once transformed into a demon, it is a demon!

From this moment, the real world seemed to have a “breach” opened.

The Inner World was eroding the real world!

If left unchecked... perhaps the real world would face its true apocalypse!
