Cosmic Demon

Chapter 86 Rusted, Red Eyes (Third Update!)

[Skill: Predator]

[Effect: You can mark a "prey" and then start "foraging". After completing all this, you will randomly obtain "healing", "enhancement", "resurrection" and other buff effects. ]

Qin Shi looked at the drop of blood sample. Chen Yun and Lin Yunqing were on his left and right, staring at him expectantly. He had an inexplicable feeling as if he had turned into a humanoid mechanical dog.

"Don't get too close, I get nervous..."

Qin Shi coughed twice, and thought about the means of tracking the electronic demon's "pathogen".

The explanation he gave was simple: the almighty secret method of old martial arts!
"Hey! I'm about to use my power! You two stay away, I'm afraid I'll hurt innocent people!"

Chen Yun took a few steps back after hearing this, and the round-faced girl next to him whispered:
"Team leader, can he really find a living target carrying the 'Electronic Demon Virus'? He doesn't look reliable at all. He's so young and pretends to be a Qigong master..."

Chen Yun's eyes sharpened and she stopped the team members from talking too much, even though she was unsure whether Qin Shi was really capable or just trying to attract attention.

But now we should try our best to save the situation. We should not just sit there and wait for the urban circle to issue an order to strike.

You know, the permanent population of the eastern suburbs of Dangyang exceeds one million. Even if they knew that the electronic demon had mixed in, the inspection department would not be able to lock on the target and could cause large-scale infection at any time, and it would be difficult for senior officials to dare to make a decision to clear it out.

Even the governor, the highest authority holder of Hengzhou Rising Star, had to think twice and hesitate.

After all, this is not the Dongxia of the ancient empire period, where human lives are completely trampled upon as worthless, and the cost of pressing the strike button is trivial, with no psychological burden at all.

Moreover, the huge death toll of more than 300,000 people released enough negative emotions to trigger a spiritual shock comparable to a tsunami.

Maybe it will become the nutrients for nurturing dependent creatures and give birth to another high-level demon.

Just thinking about it makes my head tingle.

"Hengzhou's electronic blockade and energy confinement are also self-limiting to a certain extent. If a high-level electronic demon is bred, it will take less than six hours to break through the iron curtain defense. The urban area will fall, and so will the central city..."

Chen Yun felt a chill in her heart and hated Qin Lihao even more. Did that idiot know what he was doing?
"Trust Assistant Qin! The old martial arts school does have a secret method of locking souls thousands of miles away and sensing directions!"

Lin Yunqing was full of confidence. She didn't even blink and was firmly attracted to Qin Shi like a magnet.

"The sky and the earth are boundless, and the pursuit is thousands of miles away..."

Qin Shi made up a few words and secretly activated the skill Predator, directly marking the blood sample.

Sure enough, the scene in his field of vision suddenly changed and it was no longer the scene in front of him.

The image of a man with his right arm limp and looking seriously injured jumps into view.

Leather jacket, jeans, lean and muscular body...

"It's actually Brother Ze."

Judging from the act of burning several containers of Qin Lihao’s collections, the other party must have a personal grudge against Qin Laosan.

Considering that Qin Zhijie was kidnapped, it is not difficult to guess that Cheng Ze is the living being carrying the electronic demon virus.

But no matter how much he guessed, Qin Shi still felt complicated after knowing the answer.

To be fair, Brother Ze was pretty nice to him, and they had a sense of righteousness as "fellow disciples".

If the situation was not serious and concerned the safety of many neighbors and even Lao Liang and his sister Qin Lan, he might not be willing to get involved.

"Brother Ze doesn't seem to be in good condition either."

The fragmented images in Qin Shi's mind were very blurry, as if they were shot with a handheld camera and were shaking constantly.

He could only vaguely see Cheng Ze's bleeding arm. The dripping blood was black and somewhat sticky, like leaking engine oil.

The flesh and blood tissue near the wound glowed bright silver after the tin foil was burned.

[Prey has been successfully marked]

[Do you want to start looking for food? ]

Two lines of words jumped out of his retina, Qin Shi’s thoughts flashed, and he chose to start.

An extremely eye-catching trace of blood appeared out of nowhere, floating above his head like a crimson ribbon, pointing the way for him.

There was no movement from Qin Shi for a long time, Chen Yun was getting anxious and couldn't help asking:
"How's it going? Xiao Qin, have you found the target?"

She didn't expect any results, but Qin Shi's answer made Team Leader Chen ecstatic:
"He is moving northwest of the factory, about nine kilometers away from us."

Chen Yun was stunned at first, then she quickly pulled Qin Shi into the car:
"Let's go! You navigate for me!"

The Black Knight Guards' engines roared like wild beasts that couldn't contain their desire to gallop.

"I am Chen Yun from the seventh group of the inspection department. Open the gate and let me pass!"

Chen Yun stepped on the accelerator and turned the steering wheel. The tires almost rubbed the ground to produce sparks. In the blink of an eye, the two of them in the car had left Jiusong Port.

"Hey! I haven't gotten on the car yet? Take me with you!" When Lin Yunqing reacted, he could only spread his hands and stamp his feet, gritting his teeth.

……

……

"This is rust. The electronic demon has no form. It is a wave, a ghost-like existence. Once it enters an organism, it will corrode the flesh and blood. Organ tissues will be irreversibly transformed into metal."

Listening to Qin Shi describing the target's characteristics, Chen Yun looked serious:
"Many short-sighted people see this as a path to immortality - after all, it is easier to replace parts and maintain the machine. Prosthetics have immune reactions to the human body and are not plug-and-play.

What's more, being possessed by an electronic demon is not so profitable.

My father always said that everything in the world has its pros and cons. If an organism is infected by an electronic demon, the probability of contracting the "rust disease" is 97%. "

Qin Shi was silent. Although he was not quite aware of the serious consequences of rust disease, he knew with his own imagination that it would not be a good outcome.

"Sister Yun, can the electronic demon be exorcised?"

he asked softly.

"It's very difficult. Unless one is a spiritual practitioner who can forcibly use 'psychic blast' to remove the electronic demon that is parasitic on the living body. Or a mechanical priest... Hengzhou does not have the conditions."

Chen Yun stepped on the accelerator and the car speed reached the limit.

"Why, do you know the target?"

There is no point in hiding anything at this juncture, so Qin Shi said truthfully:
"An acquaintance in Old Factory Street."

"Xiao Qin, my first priority is definitely to kill him... I hope you understand."

Chen Yun also took the initiative to explain.

Qin Shi nodded.

Looking out the window, the bright red bloodstain meandered like a snake, crossing the night sky, as if the hand of fate was strangling Cheng Ze.

"Brother Ze, what on earth did you take away?"

……

……

breathe.

Heavy breathing echoed in the alley, and black bloody handprints pressed on the mottled wall tiles. Cheng Ze seemed to have a high fever and his consciousness was becoming blurred.

He remembered Lao Shen's advice on the phone:
"Aze! Throw that thing away quickly! It will kill you..."

Want my life?

What is the life of a gangster in Jiuchang Street worth?

Cheng Ze covered his heart with his hands. The scorching heat burned his skin, like a red-hot iron being pressed hard, almost piercing through his chest.

"My life... is so worthless... how much it is worth in exchange for an opportunity! I want to fly... Teacher, I want to fly away, fly out of the Old Factory Street!"

While mumbling nonsense, Cheng Ze's right eye moved uncontrollably a few times, as if it had condensed into an iron bead, emitting a scarlet light.

Cold data flowed in his eyes.

【Ascending】

[17%]

"You bastard! Where are you going to run to? I should have known it was you, a stray dog! Cheng Ze, tell me where Ajie is, and I'll give you a quick death!"

At the end of the alley, an off-road vehicle was blocking the way like a copper wall. Qin Lihao's white suit caught people's attention:

"It was so hard for me to find it! Damn it, I was busy all night..."

The phone was vibrating wildly in his pocket, but Qin Lihao hung up without even looking at it. He would report to his eldest brother after he finished the matter and took care of all the aftermath.

"Brother Hao...you came at the perfect time! The person I want to see the most is you!"

Cheng Ze leaned half of his body against the wall, and his hazy consciousness finally regained consciousness.

"Let me show you how well I am now! It's all thanks to you!"

A hand stretched out from the thick darkness, and the flesh and blood completely transformed into metal, shining with bright silver light.

"Obey me!"

Cheng Ze simply uttered three words, as if activating a powerful force field. The off-road vehicle blocking the alley suddenly roared, black flames rose around it, and the dazzling spotlight turned into scarlet animal eyes!
