Chapter 424: I Saw Five on That Man

~7 min read 1,278 words

"Beast, where's the target? I'm coming down."

The voice of the MC came through the communication channel.

The Beast did not answer immediately, but hid in the darkness, watching the scene inside the sewer with bright eyes.

His voice rang out faintly, carrying a hint of indescribable emotion:

"I'm watching an encounter in the sewer, a budding love mixed with deception and betrayal."

His tone carried a hint of longing, as if appreciating a romantic movie.

Because of personal reasons, the Beast had never tasted the bitterness of love nor the sweetness of it, and at this moment, he actually developed a strong longing for the scene unfolding before him.

"What ghostly nonsense are you talking?"

The MC's voice rose by eight degrees, his pupils rolled white, he quickly scanned the surrounding environment, trying to find the Beast's figure.

The Beast did not respond directly, but threw out another question:

"Has the current organization's assessment standard for absorbing new members been adjusted to independently eliminating or integrating an evil organization base?"

The MC was stunned for a moment, then snorted:

"Of course not, where did you hear that rumor? However..."

He changed the subject, and suddenly a hint of interest entered his tone:

"It sounds quite interesting. New recruits taken in this way should be of good quality, after all they have all undergone 'peer inspection'."

"It's just that the mortality rate is probably a bit high... uh, it shouldn't matter."

The MC's voice gradually became lighthearted, as if calculating something.

He had already begun to ponder in his heart that he might have a chance to make a suggestion to 【Destiny HR】 later.

Presumably, the possibility of being gladly adopted was very high.

The next second, the shadow of the Beast was reflected in the MC's pupils.

At the same time, his retina clearly captured the man and woman the Beast was peeping at.

The two stood on the murky water surface, hands tightly clasped.

The man's expression was gentle, with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, while the woman's expression was excitement mixed with anxiety, as if experiencing an important choice.

That scene looked like... a confession?

"After so many years, the Beast still can't change his bad habit of peeping."

The MC rolled his eyes, but his expression suddenly froze.

The Beast's voice rang out again, this time, his voice was filled with brutal killing intent:

"The assessment mission isn't this... that means, someone is impersonating our 【Destiny】?"

The MC had not yet opened his mouth when he heard the Beast's voice speak with unprecedented mystery:

"MC, do you think we could possibly encounter two Curse of the Evil Sacrifice parasites in a row?"

The MC had not yet answered when two exclamations came through the communication channel again.

Red Dragonfly: "What did you say?"

Bald Male Captain: "Another one?"

The Beast took a deep breath and said fiercely:

"I saw that man, his bones seemed to have life as they pierced through flesh and blood, able to deform and twist at will. I'm not too sure, MC, take a look, is this guy actually another Curse of the Evil Sacrifice parasite?"

The MC stood in place, his body frozen, only his death-white eyeballs trembling wildly, as if enduring some indescribable impact.

On his eyeballs, strange images kept flashing, but were blurry.

His brain seemed to be stirred into a paste, actually unable to accurately image the scene before him, nor able to use language to describe the scene he had glimpsed.

Blood began to seep from the corner of the MC's eye, slowly sliding down his cheek, dyeing his pale face red.

His San Value was plummeting wildly, the images before his eyes becoming more twisted and chaotic, as if the entire Shijie was falling apart before his eyes.

Fortunately, he was a villain of 【Destiny】.

Members of 【Destiny】 generally possessed the Feng Ren attribute, and their threshold for San Value was much lower than ordinary people.

Their sanity originally walked on the edge of madness, and it could even be said that Feng Ren was the most important part of their thoughts.

This precious trait became a lifesaving straw for the MC at this moment, allowing him to find a chance to breathe on the edge of sanity collapse.

The corner of the MC's mouth opened uncontrollably, emitting a sound close to delirious muttering, his voice filled with shock and despair:

"One, two, three, four, five!!!"

His voice echoed in the communication channel, carrying a hair-raising tail sound.

With each number counted, his voice became increasingly strange, as if being infected and parasitized by some horror.

In the communication channel, the Bald Male Captain sensed something was wrong and hurriedly asked:

"MC? What's wrong? What did you see?"

Suddenly, a strange sound wave came from the Beast's throat, like a low-frequency roar, exploding in the communication channel.

The sound made everyone's eardrums ache, as if countless needles were crazily stirring inside their ears.

The MC suddenly closed his eyes, and after a long time extended his sleeve to wipe away the filthy blood at the corner of his eye, exhaled a long breath, and said in an extremely hoarse voice:

"Thanks, Beast!"

The Beast's face was extremely grave: "What exactly did you see?"

The MC opened his eyes again, his death-white eyeballs obviously much more turbid, as if covered by a layer of gray mist.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his voice trembling with lingering fear:

"Five... I saw five shadows of Curse of the Evil Sacrifice on that man!!!"

Just as his voice fell, the communication channel instantly fell into dead silence.

Even these madmen of 【Destiny】 felt their scalps go numb at this moment, as if an invisible chill climbed up their spine and rushed straight to the back of their head.

One person, five Evil Sacrifices?

The bald male captain's voice rang out again, his tone carrying incredulous doubt:

"Master of Ceremonies, are you sure? The shadows of five Evil Sacrifices... you're sure you didn't see wrong?"

The Red Dragonfly's voice followed closely, carrying a hint of confusion and unease:

"Although I don't know much about Evil Sacrifices, can't a person only be parasitized by one Evil Sacrifice? Evil Sacrifices shouldn't be a species that likes sharing, right?"

"If they're inside one person's body, won't they start fighting?"

The beast made no sound, merely silently withdrawing its peeping gaze.

The killing intent that had been surging in the depths of his eyes was now quietly restrained quite a bit, replaced by a rare rationality.

In the past, he had always been very envious of the Master of Ceremonies' "Byakugan," but today, he suddenly felt that his own ordinary eyes were actually quite good.

The Master of Ceremonies licked the blood on his tongue tip, the salty, fishy taste making his train of thought clear up a little.

He seemed to be muttering to himself, yet also seemed to be explaining to his teammates:

"A person can only be parasitized by one Evil Sacrifice, that's correct. Perhaps there's an extremely small chance that some unlucky bastard exists who is parasitized by two kinds of Evil Sacrifices...

But it's absolutely impossible for one person to be parasitized by five kinds of Evil Sacrifices at the same time."

The Master of Ceremonies' tone was very certain, however, these words only made the beast more confused.

He couldn't help but interrupt:

"But you clearly said just now that he had the shadows of five Evil Sacrifices inside him?"

The Master of Ceremonies said faintly:

"But I didn't say he was parasitized by five Evil Sacrifices, he is..."
