Whatever messy stuff they are, one shot from a coastal defense cannon and they die just as cleanly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Feng pulled the bolt for the last time and suddenly asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you afraid?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Jue nodded without hesitation and asked back: \"Is being afraid useful?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you're afraid, you go out first in a moment and wait for me in the car. In case I mess up, you'll still have a chance to run.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Feng looked back at him: \"These ghost things have power and influence. If we don't get rid of them, we probably won't have a day of peace in Yacheng for the rest of our lives, you understand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Jue didn't answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly felt that from this morning—no, from yesterday afternoon, when that old thing turned into a monster and rode a tricycle toward him—his life had perhaps already been completely changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that he had only suddenly realized it now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red eyes, hunger, alienation, beasts, blood, internal organs, and those things that he didn't know if they were human or ghost... once they were targeted, there would be no peace!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he didn't remove these stumbling blocks, he would have no future!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since there was a chance...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a brief moment of daze, Ji Jue looked up at Lu Feng. Through their masks, what appeared in their pupils was a calmness and clarity as if looking in a mirror:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Must kill them all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Jue's lips moved, and he hesitated for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a split second, a voice kept ringing in his heart, though he didn't know if it was 'conscience' or 'weakness'. It urged him, telling himself: You can't do this, Ji Jue, don't be impulsive, be calm, just killing people won't solve the problem...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You at least have to set another fire!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Machines could talk and tell him the truth, so could corpses talk to others? And souls? Do they really exist? Will they turn into ghosts? Will they linger?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be safe, kill them all, drain their spiritual essence with the watch, burn the corpses to charcoal, grind the bones to dust, flush them into the sewer, set a fire, burn the scene, disperse the crowd, then use the gas to blow this damn nightclub to the sky, and finally wipe all the surveillance along the way. He and Brother Feng could find a place to have a drink, cause some trouble, preferably change the time under the surveillance at the police station or some gang's entrance to leave an alibi. Only then could he go home and sleep soundly, and only then could they talk about having a tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter which path he chose or what decision he made, there was only one prerequisite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those ghost things, all of them, must die!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are fourteen people inside, and four in the small room next door. One at the entrance, one in the car, and one in the trunk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Jue said: \"Among them, the woman on the left at the entrance, the one next to her, and the one in the car are all monsters. Hitting the heart is useless, and they might still struggle even if their heads are blown off. Can you handle it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A bit troublesome, but I can try.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the mask, Lu Feng grinned, like a beast reduced to a pet sharpening its claws again. He reached out to rummage through the gear in his bag and told him: \"Wait a moment, help me pull the switch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Jue reached out and pressed his hand on the socket next to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Feng put a somewhat aged night-vision device on his face, carefully adjusted the fit, wore it, and began to count down: \"5, 4, 3, 2...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the silence, the soft numbers echoed in the gloomy stairwell and corridor, blowing toward the distance along with the wind carrying the smell of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A scarlet light lit up from the indicator, like a beast waking up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that, the final countdown came to an end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"—1!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, piercing electric sparks erupted from the socket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if, in an instant, all souls were sent onto the fire and ignited!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an unprecedented full-power push, Ji Jue's spiritual essence surged, flowing along his fingertips, never to return. His consciousness, however, seemed to detach from his body, following the circuits into an unprecedentedly vast shell, filling everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if instantly expanding into a giant controlling everything, Ji Jue could feel the current galloping along countless cables, surging within the massive building like blood flowing through blood vessels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speakers were roaring, the neon lights were flickering, the giant ventilation fans were spinning silently in the darkness, and the countless cables in the server room were intertwined, with data flowing like an ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in an instant, everything disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because as Ji Jue clenched his five fingers, the giant's heartbeat stopped abruptly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power equipment standing on the roof erupted in a roar, thick smoke rose, and the backup power also crashed. All music and dancing stopped abruptly. In the momentary silence, the light dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darkness like a tide swallowed everything!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the silence, Ji Jue slumped to the ground, breathing heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sticky nosebleed spread under his mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't see anything clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only perceive that in the breeze, the figure beside him had disappeared without a trace. And amidst the noise gradually spreading in the garage, a piercing scream suddenly rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's going on?!\" Zhu Hong was furious, subconsciously looking at the man smirking beside her. In the dimness, she found that the man was also frozen in place, looking bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone wanted to take out their phone to turn on the flashlight function, but just as the phone was raised, there was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing illuminated was the figure that had been holding a box beside her... now, with the box falling, it had collapsed to the ground, with only scarlet colors spraying from its neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dying person was twitching violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching out to pull at a companion's pant leg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the only thing that could be seen was a figure gradually emerging behind the light, like a true monster. A dagger swept across the phone owner's neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the pale light was stained red by blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The phone fell and was submerged in the spreading pool of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Careful, there's a problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who reacted quickly began to retreat rapidly. Someone shouted and screamed: \"Turn on the lights! Turn on the lights!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But those groping in the dark along the wall couldn't find the switch. The only thing they could touch was a face covered under a night-vision device.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, a crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The head twisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the sudden chaos, the entire underground garage turned into a boiling pot of oil. The pungent smell of blood mixed with sewage, combined with the rotting stench from the gutter, was nauseating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Jue could smell it; that was the smell of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he finally understood how Lu Feng had managed to kill so many people before single-handedly—he had never talked about his specific experiences in the military, only occasionally saying when drinking or chatting: he did heartless things, and he did rotten jobs that would give him nightmares.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was what that nameless airborne battalion had taught him, and this was the role he played when walking in the Central Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His job was slaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it was only a few seconds of darkness, a fleeting chaos, it was enough for him to kill all six people on his path, without even stopping his pace, without even firing a shot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's fucking badass!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Jue couldn't help but nod, Brother Feng and I, we're killing everyone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"CAR!! CAR!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the commotion, someone shouted sharply: \"Turn on the headlights!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dazed driver seemed to finally react, fumbling to start the engine. Dazzling light finally erupted from the headlights, and then, it illuminated that blood-soaked figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing right in front of the headlights, he turned back. The insect-like night-vision device looked toward the pale face behind the car window, the handgun raised, and he pulled the trigger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mist of blood exploded behind the shattered car window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the muzzle turned, pulling the trigger one by one toward those fleeing frantically toward the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go get the guns, kill him!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man guarding next to Zhu Hong roared. In the blind spot next to the truck, people immediately pounced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Feng turned his muzzle casually and pulled the trigger. Bullets flew out, instantly sinking into the enemy's chest. But the opponent's body began to swell frantically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like blowing up a balloon, the distorted flesh grew wildly on the bones. In an instant, it returned to its original state, and even its speed increased again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what was aimed at him next was the pitch-black muzzle of a shotgun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the mask, Lu Feng was expressionless, pulling the trigger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man flew backward, his chest flesh exploding to reveal shattered bones and internal organs. The stench spread, but he actually began to recover rapidly again, opening his mouth to vomit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eerie tentacles extended from his mouth, actually wrapping around the gun barrel and pulling tight. Lu Feng pulled the trigger repeatedly until he beat the man on the ground into a pulp of flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, he sensed the chill behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right behind him, in the shadows of the truck bed, someone was crawling out on all fours like a mad dog, with incredible speed, springing between the walls and the ceiling. Seizing the crucial moment, sharp canine teeth opened, biting toward his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A muffled sound exploded suddenly. A burst of blood sprayed from that twisted face, and the left eye exploded instantly as the bullet pierced through. Then, in this fleeting moment, his right eye also exploded suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than a snap of the fingers, three bullets arrived almost simultaneously, finally lifting the monster's skull, blood splashing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deformed corpse fell from the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sniper? No...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the momentary chill, Lu Feng suppressed the urge to roll and find cover, suddenly looking up toward the source of the bullets. What he saw was an unexpected figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Jue!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the stairwell exit, the teenager hidden in the dark corner had raised his weapon at some point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The collection requirement for the new book event has been met. Before the event ends on the 27th, everyone remember to go to the page to enter the lucky draw~\u003C\u002Fp>",1960,"2026-06-17T21:26:46.528Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","c7e8edb8a8d89da200c09d6b5e2cda38102cd782e14934dab063e2beefcf073d","above-destiny-chapter-12","above-destiny-chapter-10",461,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fabove-the-heavenly-fate-cover.jpg"]
