The Spirit World

Chapter 572 Awakening
It seems like I never had a happy childhood.

It seems like I didn't have a happy childhood at all.

I have never had such a happy childhood.

No matter which world I am in, whether it is dreams or reincarnation, I can never have a happy, joyful and hopeful childhood.

People living in this world always realize things too late, and never learn to cherish things until they lose them.

It's so weird...

Why was he being hunted for no reason? He had always kept a low profile and never done anything bad. Although he was not a perfect person, he was kind by nature. He did not do evil or make enemies with others. He would give in to some things or simply not do them. He would not compete with others for profit or even stay away from them. If someone wanted to kill him, there must be a cause and effect.

So what is the purpose of this cause and effect?

Chang Yufeng dodged the red-haired man's pursuit. He hit the ground again and again with his crutch, eager to attract the attention of the patrol teams that might be around. The red-haired man was like treason, so whether he would be punished or not was not the first thing to say. Chang Yufeng had to ensure his own safety.

【Boring——】

"Is there anyone there?!" He kicked the tree next to him with one foot. This tree-lined path was indeed some distance away from the city, so it would be best if they could escape.

The kicked trees shook and dropped new green leaves, which fell down in a spin and fell into the mud. Chang Yufeng stepped on them hard. Those leaves that had not yet fallen into the mud followed behind him as he ran, and eventually flipped over and fell into the mud.

"Is anyone there! Help!"

Chang Yufeng's cry rang in the ears of the red-haired man. He followed Chang Yufeng almost madly. He trampled on the green leaves, his face quickly became ferocious, and his eyes began to turn red.

[Ding——]

Chang Yufeng slammed his crutch hard on the stone next to him, making a loud noise.

"Is there anyone?! Help!"

Chang Yufeng turned around to look at the mad man. He only bumped into him once, and the force was not strong enough to be scary, but he no longer thought about it that way.

Is this red-haired man crazy?

No, no, why did he have to use his fists to hit him? In this magical world, why did he have to use fists and feet? This was extremely unreasonable, even extremely crazy.

Dadada! Chang Yufeng quickly knocked on objects that were most likely to make sounds, such as stones and trees. There was nothing wrong with his body, but he was very weak. He had no problem running at the beginning, but after a short period of time, he began to breathe quickly.

"He-Is anyone there? Ahem!"

His panting seemed to make the red-haired man behind him even more excited, as if he was chasing prey. In his eyes, Chang Yufeng was like a dying prey. The more Chang Yufeng hit objects and made loud noises to attract the attention of the patrol team, the more excited he became. He was so excited that he started to roar and scream.

[Sah——]

The roar of the red-haired man startled Chang Yufeng. If he felt that this man still had some human characteristics at the beginning, then now, this man's extremely terrifying roar made Chang Yufeng completely unable to feel his human characteristics.

That is, a beast.

"Demonic infection?"

Chang Yufeng gasped heavily. If this person killed him first, the mastermind behind him would have completely cut off his retreat. How vicious he was.

Chang Yufeng's breathing became slower and slower, while the red-haired man's madness became more and more obvious, and his speed was extremely fast, which caught Chang Yufeng off guard. The bright red newly grown claws rushed from behind to Chang Yufeng's shoulders, wanting to grab Chang Yufeng's head with one blow. Chang Yufeng didn't even feel any trace of fear. He now knew very well that he was indeed being tricked by others, so what was in front of him was nothing more than a killer puppet.

He was neither angry nor afraid. He calmly lowered his body and tilted his head to avoid the attack. Although he was unwilling, his hair was still cut off by the new claws.

"Ah!" The red-haired man roared, obviously having lost his mind. His whole body began to transform into a demon without a doubt. His black fangs and sharp teeth were exposed, and his bloodshot eyes were blurred with two heavy red streams flowing out.

His attacks were illogical, but Chang Yufeng was unable to defend himself against his moves. When his blows failed to produce any effect, Chang Yufeng gave up. He could no longer keep up with the mad beast, so, almost instinctively, he quickly lay down, and then, he violently retracted and stretched his feet, kicking the red-haired man's knee with all his strength.

This tremendous force made the red-haired man's attack miss, and he quickly fell backwards. In an instant, Chang Yufeng used this force again, thinking that he could quickly increase the distance again, but a horrible thing happened. The "monster" that was almost about to lose its self-consciousness suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, which splattered on Chang Yufeng's face. Chang Yufeng was sliding with the force and facing him. Although he subconsciously blocked it, he caught the thick black blood steadily.

Chang Yufeng's face was covered in thick black blood. Compared to the red-haired man who had gone berserk and whose flesh and blood were extremely hideous, his own state of being covered in black blood might be more like a more terrifying "black blood scene".

There was no time to wipe off the horrible, smelly blood, and he ran without even raising his head, almost without stopping for a moment.

He was still gasping for breath, but he ran again without any problem. After all, with a powerful enemy at hand, the tree-lined path was definitely not a safe place, so Chang Yufeng ran away almost instinctively.

In his heart, no, he thought almost every moment that he should be careful. In his world, all actions seemed extremely natural. He almost fought instinctively to keep himself safe.

"Who's there!" a woman's voice called out.

"Me! Help!"

Chang Yufeng shouted, and the red-haired man behind him continued to chase him. Chang Yufeng did not hurt him, but his aggressiveness became even stronger. His eyes became even redder, and thick black blood flowed out of his eyes.

Along the way, the red-haired man's huge, demonized claws stomped on the ground, and there was no sign of a human being at all. It was not just the claws on his hands and feet, but the skin all over his body turned thick black blood. The wrinkled yellow-white skin slowly turned into a smooth texture, and then the blood vessels and muscles no longer changed, and the thick legs and arms all had furious blood vessels, layer upon layer, thoroughly completing the initial demonized state.

This is the final state of humans infected by evil spirits. At this time, humans are no longer "human" creatures, but become complete "demons". They are like the "hell" created by human imagination - this evil land full of distorted things in the world is full of monsters.

A demon infected by evil spirit is chasing Chang Yufeng. This unknown red-haired man has completely lost his mind. His mobility has been greatly increased, and he has become even more bloody and brutal.

The demon's angry eyes were blood red and dark, and he came straight to the ground. With just one leap, he intercepted Chang Yufeng.

Chang Yufeng had naturally heard of and seen the colorful images of demons after being infected by evil spirits, but to really see it was so horrifying. The sharp grinning mouth that could never be closed, the sharp tongue and the red and white fangs were particularly clear, and the fishy stench overwhelmed Chang Yufeng's basic common sense. He remained calm, but his chest was beating and making noises.

"Help?" The female voice was getting closer, but Chang Yufeng quickly turned around and ran again, throwing away his crutches, no longer hoping for this attack that could not cause any harm.

When the demon saw that Chang Yufeng was about to run again, it roared angrily and came towards him with its black claws, forcing Chang Yufeng to dodge and lie down. Chang Yufeng rolled over to avoid the attack, but his body could not bear it to begin with, and he was lucky enough to be able to dodge it now. However, he would be caught sooner or later.

Being caught meant death.

Getting injured is also not allowed, because the demonic energy will infect just as the name implies, and will ruthlessly assimilate anyone who touches any injured part, turning them into a demon.

Therefore, this is one of the reasons why demonic infection is taken most seriously. As long as one case is discovered, it will largely mean the sacrifice of an entire city.

This kind of sacrifice is irrational and extremely difficult to deal with. The demon in this frenzy state has aggression and physical enhancement that is several times stronger than that of an ordinary person. Although it is irrational, it is impossible for a person without professional training to deal with it without getting hurt.

It was common knowledge that getting injured in a fight with demons infected by evil spirits basically meant death.

"Help! It's a demon infected by evil spirit! I'm not hurt! Save me!" Chang Yufeng asked for help from the woman who seemed to have heard the voice and rushed over. Although he was still able to dodge such ordinary and childish attacks like punches and kicks, his physical strength was almost exhausted.

If you are not careful, you may lose your life at any time.

Chang Yufeng used sturdy trees to block the attacks of the red-haired demon. The trees were ruthlessly torn to pieces, and the leaves were flying. The sunlight on the forest path seemed to be very reluctant to shine on these two things that could no longer be seen clearly. The thick black blood on Chang Yufeng's body was even hot. It seemed that there was a heat burning his body under the sun, and his face began to become extremely hot. While he was dodging, he needed to wipe the thick black blood off his face.

This looked extremely unnatural, but his calmness seemed unprecedented. Although the demon's attack was fast and even chaotic, he could clearly see every move and action of the demon. His eyes were also shining rapidly, and there seemed to be a very bright light flashing in his black pupils, which was not the sunlight.

In the dark and intertwined tree-lined path, trees were hit and fell down one after another by the giant claws, allowing more sunlight to shine in, exposing the two people under the bright sunshine.

The weather was very good today, unexpectedly so, and Chang Yufeng had to quickly hide in the shade of the woods and beside the trees. Perhaps only in this way could he avoid the devil's fists and feet.

Chang Yufeng could feel that his body and his breathing did not seem to be so intense anymore. He even seemed to be running calmly among the trees instead of being out of breath just now. The huge sound of the trees falling down also rang in his ears, along with roars and the devil's tireless attacks.

The irrational demon didn't seem so scary anymore, which surprised Chang Yufeng. Although he was really scared at the beginning, as he lost his mind, he no longer had any urgent thoughts about such childish and even pediatric things.

In most panic situations, people just run straight for their lives. They may be less insane than the mad demons. Although they can only run straight, running straight is definitely the most deadly. We can only be thankful that we are now on a tree-lined path.

A question occurred to him.

If his initial guess was correct, he would not have been assassinated for no reason. Then how could the mastermind who wanted to kill him send someone who obviously had no fighting skills to assassinate him, and who had completely lost his mind after being transformed into a demon? For this senior student who had studied at the Flandre Royal Academy, it was no problem for him to avoid such simple, even childish fighting skills.

Unless one is physically exhausted, assassination is simply impossible.

The mastermind behind the scenes calculated his route back to Fran, calculated that the demonic energy would infect and destroy the evidence, and calculated the time he would return to Fran. However, the person he chose to assassinate him was too mentally retarded. How could that person not calculate the combat capabilities of his extremely ordinary Fran high-level department?

Although he was very likely to die, and he almost died at the hands of this berserk demon.

But this made the assassination extremely unreasonable. He could just use a magic cannon to kill him. There was no way he could avoid such a precise assassination.

This conspiracy is so crude and unreasonable as to use an assassination method with an extremely low success rate.

Could it be that the person he had offended was too low-level? Could it be that he could not afford a high-end assassin?
That would be really ridiculous.

The more he analyzed it, the more unreasonable it became, and the more unreasonable it became, the calmer Chang Yufeng became.

He even looked at the hideous demon with vigor. Although it looked scary, its aggressiveness and irrational behavior made its attack not scary in his eyes, but a kind of pity.

When it was used as a gun by others to kill him, it was destined to be a tragedy. Of course, he did not really pity it, he just felt that the pressure was not so terrible, and began to think about how to get out.

It was no surprise that he didn't have such a hard time hiding, because in his dreams and memories, he almost always had some extraordinary abilities. If such an extraordinary ability appeared now, he would definitely not be confused.

He would only accept it, because everything in his memory was extraordinary and so natural, as if he was the one experiencing it. If it was given to him, then it belonged to him.

This is not surprising at all.

However, just when he thought he could handle the matter, a woman suddenly jumped out of the woods, carrying a tiny white cat. The woman and the cat stood right in the middle of the tree-lined path. Looking at Chang Yufeng, whose face was covered in black blood and who was skillfully dodging the demon's attacks, she drew her bow and arrow behind her and was about to shoot.

"Please be careful to dodge..." She reminded Chang Yufeng and pulled the bow to its full length. The bow without an arrow quickly condensed into an arrow of white light.

【Tianbao——Destroy the devil! 】

I just heard the woman release the bow sharply, and the arrow was like a white rainbow, the wind stopped suddenly, and the leaves flew straight up.

Walk through the sun!
