Chapter 33: Of Course I Choose to Forgive Him!

""

Chu Zhongtian almost spat a mouthful of old blood three meters away.

No wonder there were suddenly so many possessors around.

You damn well are digging up someone else's grave!

Can Jack the Ripper not explode?

It's inherently a vengeful ghost; this time, the resentment is likely sky-high.

No, it was already full of resentment; now it's about to break through the heavens.

By the way, Master, what are you using to dig graves?

Is that cross made of two pieces of wood serving as a grave marker?

Can this thing be used to dig graves?

So that's why it needs two minutes?

Couldn't we find an iron shovel beforehand? Maybe one minute would be enough.

Chu Zhongtian was lost in random thoughts, not even knowing what he himself was thinking.

He simply raised the gun barrel on instinct and pulled the trigger.

He didn't need to aim, anyway everything in front were "people"; even if off-target he could still hit the target.

However, the six bullets were quickly gone.

Aside from slightly blocking the foremost possessor, it was utterly useless.

Chu Zhongtian also dared not go into melee.

Even if these people in front moved slowly, some resembled the slow-moving zombies in movies.

But everyone knows that once caught in a corpse tide, the consequences are deadly.

Fighting while retreating is the way to go, but they now need to buy two minutes for Master Xuanzang.

Can't retreat!

The only silver lining is that when Jack the Ripper possesses and controls many people, his control greatly diminishes.

It won't let the possessors exhibit that ghostly speed, exceeding normal human combat ability.

Just as he was thinking that.

Chu Zhongtian's vision blurred, and suddenly someone had crossed the distance between them.

They came up to him, gripping the dagger in hand, and viciously stabbed toward Chu Zhongtian's chest.

There was no whistling sound.

Without any fiery aura, this is a true ghost.

Chu Zhongtian could only say "He saw it," or his mind had also reacted.

But his body's reaction could not keep up.

He could only watch helplessly as the opponent's dagger stabbed toward himself.

In a daze, there was a feeling that the world was in slow motion.

He could only hope that Master Xuanzang's enlightenment would save his life.

A whistling sound came from his ear.

In Chu Zhongtian's peripheral vision, he caught a black shadow flying past.

It slammed hard into the person's head in front.

The possessor collapsed at the sound, and the black shadow landed at the same time.

The black shadow remained intact, while the possessor's head was already unable to stay whole.

"Use Doomsday Storm."

Tang Luo's voice came from behind.

Chu Zhongtian then saw clearly that the fallen "black shadow" was actually a revolver—Ominous.

As a revolver, Ominous only has six bullets.

Adding Chu Zhongtian's own vital energy, at most there are twelve bullets.

To be honest, in this regard it's far inferior to modern firearms.

But its second attached skill—Doomsday Storm—is quite useful.

It fires 6000 rounds per minute.

Such a rate of fire has already reached the maximum theoretical rate of fire of the M134 machine gun.

Such machine guns are mounted on already armed helicopters, armored vehicles, and fortifications.

Only a hulk like the Terminator can directly lift and use such a Gatling machine gun.

With six barrels, the actual combat rate of fire is 2000-4000 rounds per minute, and the resulting bullet storm is enough to shred most targets.

And Ominous's "Doomsday Storm".

Without any consumption, there is likewise no recoil.

Even a small child holding it can use it.

All Chu Zhongtian needs to do is raise the gun barrel, pull the trigger, and then activate its attached skill—Doomsday Storm.

The cylinder began to spin wildly.

The muzzle sprayed out a red, gorgeous fire serpent.

It is not a straight line of bullets, but an entire sheet, its barrage not inferior to that of a Gatling machine gun!

It is like a wheat field after a large harvester has passed during harvest season.

Where the muzzle swept, the possessors collapsed, or rather disappeared en masse.

Chu Zhongtian raised his arms, waving them wildly left and right, forming a terrifying death zone.

Fortunately, the possessed people each had only a twisted, black hollow face.

No blood flowed from their bodies.

Otherwise, the scene of flesh and blood flying all over the sky would probably have made Chu Zhongtian vomit outright.

Now, if he occasionally catches a glimpse of some severed limbs and tries to ignore them, Chu Zhongtian can still endure.

Zhou Zhen'guo stood a step behind Chu Zhongtian, quickly reloaded, and fired a few shots at the stragglers.

He also had binding chains as a backup.

Two minutes might be enough to hold out.

Although Ending Storm can only last one minute.

But the number of those possessed attackers surrounding them is also limited.

After a minute of sweeping fire, probably only two or three little cats remain.

Even if Jack the Ripper's control over them greatly increases, combined with the "Illumination" protection on his body and Zhou Zhen'guo's skills,

they can be blocked!

The fiftieth second of Ending Storm.

The possessed beings visible in his sight have become very few.

But outside the range of the light surrounding his body, faint footsteps can still be heard.

He can see a blurry figure.

The possessors hide in the wind and snow, still approaching.

Chu Zhongtian stares fixedly ahead; whenever there is a slight movement, he moves the gun muzzle toward it.

But neither he nor Zhou Zhen'guo beside him noticed.

On the other side, to the rear diagonal, a ghostly figure crawls along the ground, moving like a poisonous snake.

Upon approaching, its upper body strangely rises.

The dagger in its hand stabs toward Chu Zhongtian's lower back.

Then, the figure's movement freezes.

His neck is grabbed by a hand reaching out from behind!

"Hmm—I seem to have found a handy tool; now I only need 20 seconds to finish it."

Zhou Zhen'guo hears Tang Luo say that.

He instinctively turns back to look.

Master Xuanzang holds a fairly large object in his right hand, swinging it up and down.

It looks like, a person?!

Or perhaps, that priest?!

"How miserable..." Zhou Zhen'guo silently said in his heart, then immediately turned back.

This priest should be the first person possessed and controlled by Jack the Ripper.

Moreover, he likely cooperated with the organization to handle corpses and such.

Crosses and daggers are the marks.

The rotating wheel stopped.

White smoke rose from the muzzle, but it actually remained cold to the touch, with no overheating at all.

The remaining two or three little cats still approaching can be blocked by Chu Zhongtian and Zhou Zhen'guo.

"All right."

After a few sporadic gunshots,

Tang Luo's voice came from behind.

As he spoke, the original wind and snow suddenly came to a complete stop at that moment.

Yes, it was still.

Zhou Zhen'guo and Chu Zhongtian could even see snowflakes suspended before their eyes.

Next, "Parting Clouds to See Moon."

The gray snowflakes in midair fell to the ground, and the thick clouds in the sky vanished completely.

It became clear, as if the violent wind and snow had never existed a second ago.

Only the gray snow accumulated underfoot

Pure moonlight showered the earth.

Even without the light on their bodies, it was enough for Zhou Zhen'guo and Chu Zhongtian to see the surroundings clearly.

Along with the wind and snow disappearing, those possessors also vanished.

"Amitabha, sins, sins."

A Buddhist chant made Zhou Zhen'guo and Chu Zhongtian turn to look at Tang Luo and the pit beside his feet.

That is the pit he dug out.

The tool used to dig the pit, let's ignore it.

The Master even said "sins," what more could he want?

Of course, we should forgive him!

In the pit, it's not a coffin or a corpse exposed outright as Zhou Zhen'guo and Chu Zhongtian imagined.

At the bottom, there are piled-up skeletons.

Above them are incomplete bodies that have not yet fully rotted.

Here, it is actually a "Hundred-Person Pit"!

"Jack the Ripper!"

Chu Zhongtian couldn't help but exclaim, "He is actually the aggregation of resentment from many experimental subjects, a product born of that?"

Why would there be such a "Hundred-Person Pit"?

Combining everyone's investigation.

It's easy to draw a conclusion.

The organization's cruel immortality experiments, the experimental subjects' remains were discarded and buried here.

Even mental patients have their own feelings.

Moreover, there are also many normal people.

Fury, unwillingness, madness, and overwhelming resentment.

Only then did Jack the Ripper form.

It is neither a person nor a ghost.

But rather a product of gathered resentment.

Actually, it is the same kind of fallen entity as the Reviver.

Only their power and form differ vastly.

At least the Reviver and the current Jack the Ripper have a chasm-like gap that cannot be crossed.

Why does Jack the Ripper rip people open and disembowel them?

Because it was dissected.

The torn wounds represent its anger.

Doctor Jack mocked Jack the Ripper's crude methods.

But they didn't know this is a kind of "imitation" and revenge by Jack the Ripper!

Fallen entities rarely possess intelligent thought.

All their actions merely follow instinct, carrying out destruction and annihilation.

As for Jack the Ripper, there is likely also revenge.

Indiscriminate slaughter is to increase its power so it can accomplish its revenge.

Not only revenge against the organization.

But also revenge against everything before its eyes.

In the end, it's not much different from destroying and annihilating everything.

"Mission complete, return to the carriage, return to the real world."

After Chu Zhongtian shouted, a piece of information appeared in his mind.

It is a strange feeling between language and text.

It tells Tang Luo and them that the mission to find Jack the Ripper is already completed.

This made Zhou Zhen Guo and Chu Zhongtian overjoyed.

Originally they thought they'd have to kill Jack the Ripper to complete the mission.

They didn't expect it to be completed just like this.

But…… to return to the carriage, is it the same carriage they came in?

"Is it necessary to reach a special place to return?" Chu Zhongtian asked.

Shouldn't there be a pillar of light descending after completing the mission, immediately returning, then treating injuries?

"I haven't experienced it, but I've heard others say." Zhou Zhen Guo's smile faded, becoming solemn: "This isn't good news."

Obviously, during the return journey, there may still be danger.

They merely temporarily repelled Jack the Ripper.

"Let's go!"

Zhou Zhen Guo took a deep breath and ran toward the tomb chamber where they first appeared.

Enter the tomb chamber, then go down the stair passage, return to the carriage, and they can truly leave this place.

When they came, there were seven people.

When they return, there may only be three left.

Zhou Zhen Guo sighed in his heart.

The light fading on his body suddenly surged, forming a light curtain.

Zhou Zhen Guo felt as if struck by a heavy hammer.

His body flew several meters away and crashed heavily to the ground!
