Chapter 145 Abyss Summoning
The moonlight, like water, poured down, enveloping the whole world in a hazy and tranquil atmosphere.
"Ahem, everyone, please be quiet for a moment."
A person wearing a crying-laughing mask slowly walked out. This crying-laughing mask was similar to the mask worn by Hiruko Kagetane in "Black Bullet".
In the darkness, with an eerie air, he coughed a few times into the microphone, trying to restore order, but the scene remained unchanged, still noisy and chaotic.
Helpless, he looked at the scene below, sighed, and could only gently snap his fingers.
The snap of fingers wasn't loud, but it was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears through the microphone.
Next second,
An obese man who was causing a disturbance with the men in black robes at the venue suddenly exploded.
Before the argument, the man had already taken off his black robe, and the surrounding crowd could even clearly see the process of the obese man's entire body bursting open.
Various kinds of blood, flesh, and remains fell like a rain of blood in the venue, sporadically dripping onto the black-robed men nearby.
At that moment, the venue seemed to have been put on pause.
"Alright, everyone has seen the welcome ceremony. Now, I'll explain the membership process for our 'FFF Group'."
The masked man with the crying-laughing expression spoke in a hoarse and low voice, yet every word was clearly audible to each of the men in black robes. After he finished explaining...
A man in black robes raised his hand somewhat shakily: "Um... can I skip this initiation ceremony?"
"Of course, we believe in freedom and democracy."
Upon hearing the man in black robes speak, the masked man not only wasn't angry, but his words were surprisingly gentle. This stark contrast left the person who asked the question somewhat stunned, as he hadn't expected the other party to be so easy to talk to.
To know,
He was prepared to die when he asked this question.
It's not that he's particularly brave or a pioneer; it's mainly because he brought his girlfriend along, after she witnessed the fat man's explosion.
She kept crying and making a scene, shouting that she wanted to leave. He had no choice but to step forward.
"Don't worry, we won't mention a single word about this place once we're out."
"It's alright, you can leave at any time. However, to maintain order in the meeting, you may need to wait a little while until the meeting ends before leaving together. Is that alright?"
"Okay, okay."
The man in black robes pulled another man in black robes and quickly ran to the spot where chairs had been placed.
The masked man turned his head, looking at the somewhat agitated crowd. His voice remained gentle as he pointed to a chair nearby, "If there are any people here who don't want to join the 'FFF Group,' you can come over here. We'll leave together after the initiation ceremony."
After he said that, more than a dozen men in black robes stood up and walked toward the spot the masked man pointed to.
Chen Kun stood amidst the crowd of people in black robes, his heart filled with inner turmoil.
He had just witnessed the masked man's extraordinary abilities. His friend was right; one could indeed obtain superhuman strength here. However, the other party's indifference to human life made this organization seem like a bad one.
On the one hand, it's about obeying the law and making money slowly:
On the one hand, they commit crimes to gain immense power, live a life of luxury, and have beautiful women at their fingertips.
The image of his friend, who was once so destitute that he needed to help him, suddenly becoming a millionaire overnight kept replaying in his mind.
In the end, he remained standing still, his body having made the choice for him.
The masked man looked down at the crowd, which still numbered two-thirds, and nodded with satisfaction. He took out a blood-stained notebook and a carving knife, and placed them on the table. "Now, those who want power, come up here, cut your fingers with the carving knife, and write your name in your blood. You will then gain the power you desire."
While Chen Kun was still hesitating, a man beside him had already resolutely walked onto the conference stage.
Sitting in the chair, he didn't hesitate to use a carving knife to cut open his finger and write his name on it.
The moment the name was written,
A thick, inky black aura emanated from the notebook, enveloping him completely, but the person sitting in the chair did not react at all.
After a long pause, the man stepped down from the conference platform.
On the surface, the man didn't seem to have changed at all, but Chen Kun, standing next to him, could see it clearly.
The man had previously lost sight in one eye, but after coming down, that eye miraculously returned to normal. The joy overflowing in the man's eyes made me realize that what the other party had obtained was definitely more than just this.
Chen Kun chose to go up second.
The stage wasn't high; it was built to the height of a school performance. After climbing a few steps...
He approached the masked man.
The aura emanating from the other person instilled a deep-seated fear in him, a strange feeling akin to a mouse encountering a cat.
He sat down. The carving knife had strange inscriptions on it, which shone with a dim light under the lamp.
With a fierce determination, he slashed his finger with the carving knife, drawing blood instantly. Surprisingly, he felt no pain at all, as if he had been bitten by a mosquito.
My gaze fell upon the open notebook, which was filled with all sorts of names.
His friend's name was on the previous page, still written in that chicken-claw-like handwriting.
After flipping through a few pages, he wrote his name in a relatively blank space.
The instant my finger finished writing the name,
Chen Kun felt that something was missing from his body, but upon closer inspection, he found no discomfort.
On the contrary, he felt more comfortable than ever before. After taking off his glasses, his nearsightedness of 700-800 degrees was completely cured.
To his surprise, his palms became extremely hot, and when he looked down, he saw that they were covered in burning flames.
He didn't know when he got down there; his mind was completely focused on the flame in his hand.
They took it back, released it, took it back, released it, and had a great time.
The first person to go up didn't know what ability the black-robed crowd below had acquired, but when the second person went up, they witnessed flames suddenly erupting from his palm. The way he released and released the flames was incredibly exciting to watch.
Those who gave up joining the group and were seated in the chair area
I was also surprised by this scene, and I couldn't help but feel regretful.
Why did they chicken out?
It's all that man's fault; their gazes all turned to the short-haired man who had first raised his hand to ask a question.
At this moment, he was being reprimanded by another woman in black robes.
"Why don't you have any opinions of your own? If I say you won't join the Youth League, you won't join. But if I say you should eat shit, why don't I see you eating shit? You're a grown man, why do you have to ask for my opinion on everything? What did I get out of having you as my boyfriend? Isn't it just that I hope you can provide me with a sense of security?"
I don't care, I want superpowers too! :”
The short-haired man lowered his head, not daring to refute.
Having learned from the previous example, the remaining men in black robes were eager to get started. Previously, they had volunteered, but now they were all vying to go up and sign.
Fearing that they would miss out on superpowers if they signed up too late, several fights even broke out over this.
The masked man standing on the conference platform didn't care and just stood aside happily watching the crowd below fight.
A dozen minutes later, everyone had signed the contract.
Most of the people in black robes had their heads down, feeling the superpowers they had just gained.
"Ahem." With a soft cough, all the men in black robes raised their heads and looked at the masked man on the conference platform.
Previously, they thought this masked man was just a delusional teenager and a con artist.
Today, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them their gods.
"The induction ceremony is now completely over. Next, it's time for your pledge of allegiance."
The masked man carefully put away the notebook and carving knife, then turned to the group of men in black robes present and uttered a sentence that sent chills down the spines of everyone there.
A pledge of allegiance?!
The crowd standing in the hall turned their gazes to the group of people sitting on chairs to the side, both men and women. These people had already taken off their black robes, revealing their own clothes, making them very easy to distinguish.
If I'm not mistaken,
These people must be the pledge of allegiance that the masked man was referring to.
Here comes the problem,
What about Bai Yuze?
In the wilderness not far from the conference platform, the Butterfly Scythe, taller than her, was tossed aside. The delicate and dignified young girl, Duck, sat on the ground, holding the Abyss Stone dropped from the last monster kill in one hand and resting her chin on her other hand, gazing at the purple magic circle in front of her, deep in thought.
What is the process for summoning Abyss Familiars?
It's been too long since I summoned the Abyssal Beast.
I've forgotten some things.
After debugging for a long time,
She first fused the Soul Ink she had extracted a few days earlier into the Abyss Stone.
Once the Abyss Stone glows with black aura, throw it into the summoning circle. Finally, use the Abyss Demoness's Abyss Authority.
Summon!
then,
The Demoness Butterfly said, "Let there be light."
Then there was light.
The black, malevolent light burst forth completely in the air.
It instantly filled the entire suburbs.
A surge of abyssal ammonia erupted from the bewitching purple magic circle.
In the arena, those who were used as a pledge of allegiance had been slaughtered by the new members of the crazed FFF group. Before they could even stop and calmly feel the surging power in their bodies.
A terrifying and malevolent purplish-black aura swept in from all directions of darkness, and their flesh and blood were completely absorbed and integrated into this mysterious and eerie black mist.
Upon seeing the black mist, the FFF members initially thought it was part of the new member initiation process.
But slowly, they began to sense something was wrong. After being enveloped, they felt intense pain. They screamed wildly, some using their new abilities to fight back, and others turning around and running away.
However, how could flesh and blood be faster than the speed at which the hydrogen of the abyss spread? So most of the people present were eroded and devoured by the nitrogen of the abyss and turned into nothingness, leaving not a trace.
The wilderness at night seemed to be shrouded in a thin mist, making people feel both mysterious and full of anticipation.
For safety and secrecy, the induction ceremony for the new members of the FFF group was held in a location near the suburbs, but unexpectedly it became their perfect burial ground.
Seeing the mess below the stage, the masked man could no longer maintain his composure.
What's going on here? Why is there such a strong concentration of abyssal ammonia in Furong District?
The scene is constantly changing.
He understood that the most important thing now was to save his own life so that he could make amends to those officials.
Besides him, there were also the black-robed men maintaining order at the scene.
Very decisively, they tore off their black robes, revealing a magic circle on the back of their hands, and their appearances all transformed into hideous demonic forms.
To gain something, you must lose something else.
Once they gain power, they lose their human appearance and become monsters.
The masked man was no exception. He transformed into a human-shaped upper body with an eagle-like head and no eyes, while his lower body was a thick snake tail that supported his body high. Several sharp, flat bone spikes grew from the outside of his two human-like arms, resembling sharp blades.
They remained cautiously on guard against the cloud of black mist.
After obtaining the desired flesh and blood, the black aura dissipated, and in its place appeared an unparalleled monster before them.
The FFF group members were stunned when the monster appeared before their eyes.
Even my heartbeat stopped.
This monster was both unfamiliar and familiar to them. It was similar in nature to the Abyss Demoness. Basically, in every report on the disaster beasts, this was the most ferocious Abyss Disaster Beast in the documentary of the Third Black Tide Crisis—the Death Cutter.
This twisted, ferocious figure descended upon them like a bolt from the blue, plunging their minds into chaos. They felt no fear, even towards magical girls or the abyssal monsters that usually appeared; in fact, it aroused their desire to retaliate.
However, faced with the terrifying abyssal monster—the Death Cutter—which they had only seen in news reports and which often required several A-level adjudication teams to deal with, they had no room to resist and only felt an overwhelming sense of suffocation.
The Grim Reaper, standing like a grim reaper, looked down at the few tiny demonic ants before it. Without pausing, it launched an attack, and seven or eight scythe-like limbs from its back swept out.
puff!puff!puff!
Those attacks were like lightning. The flesh-and-blood monster that the masked man had transformed into only felt a slight breeze. Before his body could react, he felt himself being lightly thrown away, followed by excruciating pain from all over his body.
As he was thrown away, he saw his companions, who were not as strong as him, all reduced to piles of flesh and corpses, cruelly dismembered. He wasn't much better off.
He was cleaved in two, his limbs almost completely severed.
The moment of contact,
It didn't hurt much, just like being lightly touched by a toy knife.
But the next second...
The intense pain almost made him faint.
It was only because he became a human demon that he had stronger vitality and thus survived by sheer luck.
He had no other thought at the moment but to play dead and wait for the Grim Reaper to leave on its own.
However, after clearing the area, the Death Cutter did not leave but instead began hunting down those who had escaped in the chaos.
Chen Kun is one of them.
Today's events have had a huge impact on him.
First, the masked man publicly demonstrated his abilities, killing people from afar, signing contracts and pledges of allegiance, and dense abyssal ammonia appeared out of thin air. Then, terrifying abyssal monsters appeared on the scene.
The masked man and the other men in black robes transformed into demons right before their eyes and were easily chopped into pieces by the abyssal beasts, but these were not the most fatal aspects.
The worst part is that he's now experiencing inexplicable itching all over his body, feeling like something is crawling all over him, and he really wants to scratch.
But then he thought about how the monster behind him wasn't far away.
Scratching is very important.
But life is more important.
But this strange feeling didn't lessen; instead, it got worse and worse. I would scratch for a while, then for a while!
He stopped, collapsed to the ground in pain, and began to scratch, scratching hard.
This itch came from the inside out; scratching the surface wasn't enough. He wanted to tear his own flesh apart.
Pull out all your organs and scratch them hard.
A gentle breeze swept by, and Chen Kun suddenly felt that he was no longer itchy, but he wondered why the sky looked upside down.
