Chapter 1009: Mysterious Glimmer, the Whole City Enchanted!

They could never have imagined.

Guo Fan was actually hidden in the car that Wang Defa had driven over.

The Blood Ghost spared no effort, even resorting to the most despicable threats to force others to comply.

At the same time, it also expended countless effort and energy just to complete an urgent Task.

However, Wang Defa played a dark trick on him under the lights.

The most laughable part is that the Blood Ghost not only missed the target.

It also let the mother and daughter escape.

It can be said it lost both the lady and the troops.

It truly infuriated them beyond measure.

Having been in the mix for so long, it's the first time being played with and spun around.

They became a laughingstock in others' eyes.

Thinking of this, the Blood Ghost's heart filled with rage.

Like a madman, it chased after that group.

The running speed of Five-level Gene Modification is extremely fast.

The distance of several hundred meters rapidly shortened.

The Hunting Dog felt a cold gaze coming from behind and instinctively turned its head.

Not looking, one wouldn't know; seeing it, they were startled.

Only to see a wholly blood‑red silhouette continuously approaching, its face twisted like a ghost's, as if suffering the greatest humiliation in the world.

He had never seen such a terrifying face.

All the Death Games played before, combined, had never encountered such a situation.

At the same time, he was also shocked by the opponent's physical quality.

One should know that his Code Name is Hunting Dog.

Not only is his Nose keen, able to locate people or objects miles away through scent.

His body can also become dog‑like, running at lightning speed.

"Looking for death!" The Blood Ghost's eyes bulged enormously, almost bursting from the sockets.

Feeling the coldness on its back, the Hunting Dog's whole body sprouted goosebumps, let out a strange cry and leapt forward.

It immediately gritted its teeth and dove down.

"This is because you forced me!"

In the next moment, he suddenly switched from upright running to moving on all fours.

Immediately thereafter, the speed jumped several gears.

In a puff of smoke, he darted away from the Blood Ghost.

?

The Blood Ghost stared at the cooked Duck Token flying away, its head full of question marks.

He hadn't expected the opponent to have such a trick.

He chased forward for a distance, only to find the two pulling farther and farther apart.

He instantly became extremely anxious.

The Hunting Dog looked back, a smug Laugh spreading across its face.

"How could a two‑drive possibly run faster than a four‑drive?"

"You little brat!"

The Hunting Dog, extremely smug, stuck out its Tongue and made a grimace at him.

Unless absolutely necessary, he will not use the Innate Talent Entry.

The reason is none other than—

Too shameful.

After all, learning to run like a dog is itself extremely comical.

But it is truly useful.

Within fifty meters, no transport vehicle can be faster than a dog.

The Blood Ghost is no exception.

Even though his physical quality surpasses others.

"Stop right there!" the Blood Ghost shouted angrily.

"Come catch me, you idiot!" the Hunting Dog laughed maniacally.

But the next moment he could no longer laugh.

The sky darkened, and suddenly a faint glimmer lit up on the horizon.

Like fireflies in the night.

Though distant, it was clearly visible.

"Wuwu…"

Amidst the weirdness, a few pleasant sounds slowly spread.

It was distant and ethereal.

It soothed the mind, bringing peace.

"What the heck?" a foreboding feeling suddenly rose in the Hunting Dog's mind.

Not only him, but the rest of the team also heard that sound.

They were seen slowly halting their steps, all turning to look toward the faint light.

"Wuwu!"

The sound grew louder, and his brain was instantly invaded by a mysterious force.

In just an instant, the Hunting Dog lost its mind, standing dumbly in place.

The Blood Ghost rushed forward, grabbed his head with one hand, and sneered, "Run, why aren't you running?"

Having said that, he suddenly applied force and crushed it outright.

With his hand stained by red and white filth, the Blood Ghost slowly hoisted Guo Fan onto his shoulder.

The task completed, he need not linger here any longer.

Return soon to report.

But just as he prepared to face the team's fierce counterattack, he unexpectedly found them all standing still.

They swayed as if their souls had been lost.

Their eyes vacant, like puppets.

"Hm?"

The Blood Ghost's face showed a puzzled hue, and he promptly retreated a short distance.

The scene was truly strange; he had to stay on guard.

If this were a prerequisite Innate Talent of some player...

But soon, he realized he was overthinking.

It's not just this group.

Even the surrounding civilians' gazes became hazy.

They had been rushing to flee, yet at this moment they all stopped.

As if the world had hit the pause button.

The Blood Ghost furrowed his brow even deeper, turning his head toward the faint light.

Reviewing the timeline, when this thing appeared, the Hunting Dog stopped moving.

The others seemed to have halted all actions at the same moment.

"What is that?" the Blood Ghost examined carefully, doubt flashing in his eyes.

Yet the next moment, the surrounding people suddenly moved!

Their steps were slow, as if strolling leisurely.

They all walked together toward the faint light.

Soon, the whole street filled with people.

Without exception, all were caught in this condition.

A careful observation reveals—

They all share a common trait: their eyes brimmed with an uncontainable obsession.

As if something deadly ahead was drawing them.

Seeing this, the Blood Ghost suddenly realized something, his complexion changing.

"Charm!"

Wait.

No!

He had indeed encountered Charm before.

In early Death Game, he had faced opponents with this Innate Talent.

But its strength was weak, and its range tiny.

The prerequisite was rather stringent.

It required the other party to have a certain goodwill.

Currently, that condition was clearly lacking.

Moreover, the estimated distance was at least hundreds of kilometers.

Even a Fifth Tier Innate Talent could not achieve this.

"Could it be the Old Era Remnant Faction?" the Blood Ghost thought silently.

He could not afford to think further.

Since he himself was unaffected, it must be Purification at work.

But even the best Title Skill has a duration.

He glanced down at his Hand Ring and saw less than ten seconds remained before the state ended.

"Damn!"

The Blood Ghost muttered darkly, hoisting Guo Fan and sprinting wildly toward the distance.

He thought that if he gave his all, perhaps he could outrun the Innate Talent's coverage.

But contrary to his hopes, before he could get far, Purification abruptly failed.

His whole body felt struck by lightning, suddenly halting.

Immediately, an irresistible force invaded his consciousness.

His eyes instantly filled with Obsession.

Then he casually tossed Guo Fan onto the ground and followed the main force toward the faint light.

This scene played out in many places.

The entire White Bear City fell into a bizarre atmosphere.

No matter which district, it cannot be avoided.

From gene-modified soldiers down to small animals.

Without exception, they are deeply affected.

Inside the Air-raid Shelter.

"Cough cough~!"

Lu Junsheng struggled to open his eyes, feeling a tearing pain inside his body, and couldn't help but grimace, baring his teeth.

That Explosive Liver Punch was truly overwhelmingly powerful.

He tried to move and found that his hands and feet could still perform simple motions.

Then he slowly drew a Primary All-Round Recovery Injection from his pocket, and, using his last ounce of strength, jabbed it into his thigh.

"Huh!"
