Gulu.
Chen Tan couldn't help but swallow hard.
"How... how is this possible??" he said hoarsely. "Without a heart and with his head chopped off, he can still move?"
"Where did the costume on him come from? Didn't we not put it on him?!"
"I don't know!!!" Li Xiuchun was completely consumed by fear and replied incoherently. "When he crawled out from underground, he was already wearing this costume... It's the same costume we draped over him when we buried him last night!
He's a ghost... He's really a ghost!!
A ghost come to claim our lives!"
"Nonsense! There are no ghosts in this world!"
The scene in front of him was so eerie that Chen Tan's legs also felt a little weak from fear. But in the end, he still summoned up the courage, picked up a dinner knife on the ground, and stabbed it towards Chen Ling's face!
He had killed Chen Ling twice, so he could kill him a third time!
No matter what was inside his body, apart from looking scary, it didn't seem as terrifying as the disasters rumored outside. This gave Chen Tan a considerable amount of courage.
The sharp dinner knife cut through the air. Just as it was about to touch Chen Ling, it suddenly stopped in mid-air.
Chen Tan was stunned. He desperately exerted force with the hand holding the knife, but he couldn't move it any further, as if an invisible giant hand was gripping the blade of the dinner knife and holding it firmly in mid-air.
"Hehe."
A strange, soft laugh sounded from behind Chen Ling.
The next moment, the dinner knife in Chen Tan's hand disappeared out of thin air. In its place was a slender red piece of paper.
Chen Ling, with his eyes glazed over, chewed and swallowed all the axes and kitchen knives in his mouth. Staring straight at Chen Tan, he slowly walked forward and mechanically repeated the same sentence in a hoarse voice:
"Father, I'm hungry."
These simple three words made Chen Tan's scalp tingle!
He had no doubt that the next moment, Chen Ling would grab his head, force it into his mouth, and chew it to pieces... His bones wouldn't be harder than the axes and kitchen knives!
"Run!!! Go outside and find the law enforcers!!"
Chen Tan turned around and rushed towards the direction of the main door!
Chen Tan knew that the situation in front of them was beyond their ability to handle... The only way to survive now was to seek help from the law enforcers. Those powerful law enforcement officers must have a way to deal with the disasters!
As for how the law enforcers would judge their crimes of premeditated murder and organ theft later, that was a matter for the future.
Anyway, going to prison was better than losing their lives.
Li Xiuchun, who was crouching beside him and trembling all over, was also brought back to her senses by this shout. She stumbled and crawled towards the closed door.
While Chen Ling's attention was all on Chen Tan, she successfully reached the door and stretched out her hand towards the doorknob...
But she grabbed nothing.
Li Xiuchun looked down in confusion and realized that the doorknob had disappeared... No, not just the doorknob, the entire door had turned into a painting on a piece of red paper, changing from three-dimensional to two-dimensional.
She couldn't open a door that was painted on paper.
"Hehehehe..."
A dense sound piled up from all directions, as if the room was now filled with countless invisible figures... They were watching the two of them, and their scarlet eyes were full of mockery.
Red pieces of paper fluttered around Li Xiuchun. In a trance, she saw strange faces one by one.
She kept screaming and backing away, and her eyes were filled with nothing but pure fear.
Finally, her eyes rolled back, and she slumped to the ground, losing consciousness...

At the same time, Chen Tan only felt that there was nothing under his feet, and he fell heavily to the ground. He turned around in surprise and found that the entire ground had turned red and was surging like waves.
He stared blankly at Chen Ling in the red clothes who was walking step by step. As if thinking of something, he shouted in horror:
"It's true... What the law enforcers said is true!"
"You are a disaster!"
"You are the disaster that has usurped Ling's body!"
Upon hearing these words, Chen Ling in the red clothes stopped in his tracks.
The corners of his scarlet mouth turned up slightly, and a pale finger touched his lips, making a "shh" gesture.
"Shh —"
Just as the endless red paper was about to drown Chen Tan, two loud crashes of breaking glass came from the side!
"A trace of disaster has been found at No. 128 Han Shuang Street!! The destructive power is evaluated as Level 4! Immediately request support from law enforcement officers!!"
Two figures in black and red uniforms broke through the window. One of them swept his gaze across the room and quickly spoke.
"Received. The support has been dispatched. Please try to hold off the opponent as much as possible!" A serious voice came from the walkie-talkie around the waist of one of the law enforcers.
One law enforcer smiled bitterly. "A Level 4 disaster. How could we possibly hold it off?"
When the audience in the void saw the sudden intrusion of the two law enforcers, they let out a soft gasp, as if they had found a more interesting toy.
Chen Ling in the red clothes flicked his hand casually, and Chen Tan, who was lying on the ground, fainted immediately. Bloodstains flowed from all his orifices, gradually staining the ground beneath his feet...
"Keep your distance! Saving your life is the most important thing!"
One law enforcer quickly stepped back, pulled out a gun from his waist, and pulled the trigger successively!
Bang bang bang —
The brass bullets cut through the void. Before they reached Chen Ling in the red clothes, they turned into small red pieces of paper and dissipated in mid-air.
Chen Ling in the red clothes raised his hand gently, and countless pieces of paper emerged from the wide sleeves of his opera costume. They were like swimming snakes, binding the figures of the two law enforcers.
The paper wrapping the two of them suddenly twisted, as if it were twisted into a twist, and then fell heavily to the ground.
[Audience Expectation -1]
[Current Expectation: 15%]
The figure of Chen Ling in the red clothes gradually expanded, and his opera costume was forcefully stretched open. It was as if there were human faces about to break through from under his skin. Chaotic whispers filled the space.
In just a few seconds, he became a monster with red paper tentacles fluttering all over his body. Pairs of scarlet pupils opened on the pieces of paper, and there was no trace of Chen Ling's appearance left.
It suddenly crashed through the paper door and rushed into the deserted street. The drizzling rain fell on it without making the slightest sound.
It randomly chose a direction and turned into a scarlet afterimage and flashed out!
Almost at the same time, a figure in black clothes broke through the dark clouds and followed closely behind at high speed.
"The target disaster has been found." Han Meng said calmly.
"...Is it a 'World-destroying' level?" A worried voice came from the walkie-talkie.
"Judging from the aura, it is at most Level 5. It seems that a disaster did indeed descend last night, but the pointer misjudged the opponent's energy intensity."
"A Level 5 disaster is also extremely dangerous! Brother Meng, be careful!"
Han Meng didn't say anything. He closely followed the scarlet afterimage and came to the wilderness on the edge of the Third District. Then he suddenly fell like a cannonball!
Dong —!!
The black meteor created an invisible air wave when it crashed into the wilderness!
The shattered sand splashed in all directions. The red figure was forced to stop. The dense red paper tentacles swayed gently in the wind, and all the pupils looked towards the place where the dust was flying at the same time.
A figure lowered his head and lit a thick cigarette, then walked out slowly. At the lower hem of the black trench coat, four silver patterns glowed slightly.
The domain, as gentle as a light breeze, opened invisibly, enveloping the red paper monster within it.
"I am Han Meng, the Chief Law Enforcement Officer of the Third District in the Aurora Realm."
He held a cigarette in one hand and took out a pitch-black pistol from his waist with the other. He pulled down the safety catch with his thumb, and the sand and gravel in the domain trembled slightly. An invisible murderous intent suddenly locked onto the red paper monster!
His lips parted slightly, and his words seemed to carry the rhythm of some kind of law.
"I uphold the justice of human civilization..."
"I sentence you to death."
