Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 73 Regular Attack
Meanwhile, the people at the hotel are also facing an attack from Kayako.

After being scolded by Mu Xiang and Zhao Yingkong, Zheng Zha rushed out. The pale woman standing on the balcony made him feel a little uneasy, so he immediately entered the state of activating the gene lock.

However, Mu Xiang might think that Zheng Zha was using a sledgehammer to crack a nut... but caution is always a good thing.

As he opened the French doors to the balcony, a deeper crimson flame instantly engulfed Zheng Zha's entire body. Without hesitation, he swung a punch at Kayako's head. Her pale head, before the crimson flame, vanished instantly like ice meeting fire, along with the rest of her body.

Zheng Zha subconsciously adjusted the intensity of the red flame back to the previous viscount level, and the color of the red flame became much more vibrant... He found that using the old red flame was perfectly sufficient, which also reduced energy consumption.

“Is it that easy…” Zheng Zha muttered to himself, but he knew it wasn’t, because the premonition of danger in his heart was still there, like an alarm bell waiting to be rung.

Zheng Zha stood silently on the balcony when suddenly a gasp came from the room behind him. Instead of turning around to look at the room, he was driven by a warning in his heart and immediately unleashed his crimson flames.

The "clucking" sound had just begun when it abruptly stopped.

Out of the corner of Zheng Zha's eye, he saw a pale hand trying to touch his shoulder, then it melted away like ice and snow.

Is it behind you?

Zheng Zha took a deep breath, and then alarm bells rang in his mind again. He shouted and slammed his elbow behind him. When he turned around, it was Kayako's attack from behind again... but this time it didn't even have time to extend its hand before Zheng Zha smashed it to pieces with one elbow.

“It doesn’t seem to be over yet…” Zheng Zha turned around and looked at everyone in the room.

The group sat around the Buddhist scriptures, watching him with concern. Zero and the others kept their guns pointed in their direction, ready to finish off Zheng Zha at any moment. Zhao Yingkong, the newcomer, also put down her book and watched silently.

Zheng Zha felt a warmth in his heart... Well, even though he had just been called a good-for-nothing.

Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the wall of the hotel... and he froze.

"They're invincible!" Zheng Zha shouted angrily in his mind. "I've already taken down three... Damn it, how did so many suddenly appear? They're climbing from the hotel's exterior wall onto the balcony!"

Countless Kayakos, resembling giant white spiders, crawled towards Zheng Zha from all directions, from upstairs, downstairs, and the exterior walls of the adjacent rooms.

Hearing Mu Xiang's reminder, Zheng Zha took a deep breath and said to Zhan Lan in his mind, "Zhan Lan... please keep an eye on the room. If there are any lone ghosts, deal with them immediately!"

His eyes were blank. He glanced silently at Kayako, who was about to arrive, and then fell backward from the twelfth-floor balcony.

Zheng Zha even heard his companions' exclamations in the room... but he knew what was going on.

Flames erupted on his hands as Zheng Zha reached out and grabbed the balcony below. The intense heat melted his touch, temporarily securing him. Zheng Zha then fell two layers down, landing in an alley beside the hotel in an instant.

It's afternoon now, but thankfully there's no one in this alley.

Hearing a series of "clucking" sounds behind him, Zheng Zha jumped over a low wall without turning his head and ran wildly towards a construction site.

Kayako's speed seemed to be able to vary, always staying behind Zheng Zha. But Zheng Zha wasn't afraid... what he was worried about was that Mu Xiang had been right, that the Kayakos would surround the room and deplete the Buddhist scriptures' power.

"Zheng Zha, how is the situation?" A calm voice echoed in Zheng Zha's mind.

It was Chu Xuan… that aloof, wise, yet kind sage.

Zheng Zha charged forward and replied, "I've already dealt with three attacks. This is the fourth. There are at least fifty Kayakos chasing me... and they're quite fast."

"Is that so?" Chu Xuan said thoughtfully. "There wasn't just one wave of attacks, and they got stronger as they progressed? Zheng Zha, did you get your reward points?"

Zheng Zha replied, "No!"

Chu Xuan said calmly, "Then I think I'm right... Mu Xiang and I haven't encountered this type of attack yet, but what you're encountering now is probably the most 'formal' attack. If you deal with a few more waves, you should be able to encounter the main body of the curse."

“I see…” Zheng Zha laughed. “That’s good… I’m confident, and I don’t want them to be attacked!”

As he spoke, he pushed off with his feet, increasing his speed even further, and his entire body moved forward at high speed like a streak of blood-red lightning.

"Zheng Zha, run to your right," Zero's voice came. "That building under construction isn't closed off; the view is great."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zha smiled slightly; he understood what midnight meant…

"Thanks, bro..." Zheng Zha thought to himself, "But try to fire last, sniper rifles are too noisy."

Zheng Zha had already reached the bottom of the stairs, but he didn't rush upstairs. He kicked off the wall and turned around in mid-air to look down. Immediately, several Kayakos who were closely following behind him climbed down to his feet.

"Die!" Zheng Zha roared, his body erupting with crimson flames. Without flinching, he plunged straight into Kayako's encirclement.

The white bodies immediately vanished before the red flames, while the Kayakos who had been chasing behind them made "clucking" sounds and reached out to surround them.

In an instant, Zheng Zha was swallowed up by the pale white tide. Zero, who had been observing this area through his scope, took a deep breath and gripped the handle of his Gauss sniper rifle tightly.

"Zheng Zha, how is he?" Zhan Lan's slightly anxious voice rang out in the mental chain. With her current mental power, she could observe Zheng Zha's situation several hundred meters away even without deliberately searching. However, there were too many fluctuations over there, and the mental fluctuations of Zheng Zha that she had been paying attention to had been submerged by the concentrated spiritual energy fluctuations.

"I'm fine..." This was Zheng Zha's relaxed laughter. The next moment, the dazzling red flames bloomed like a red lotus flower.

Then, all the pale white bodies vanished into thin air!
Seeing this, even with his composure, Lingdian nodded vigorously.

Zheng Zha was indeed very relaxed at this moment... Even with the Red Flame of the Earl level, it would take more than half an hour to burn through the vampire's energy. Not to mention that the Red Flame, which is "particularly effective" against spirits, would be powerful enough to deal with Kayako at the Viscount level.

So dealing with the four waves of attacks and the subsequent burst of red flames only cost him about ten percent of his vampire energy. Previously, with such consumption, Zheng Zha would have owed one or two times his own energy.

"What will the fifth wave be?" Zheng Zha stood silently, his eyes still blank. His sense of danger had almost vanished, but judging from Chu Xuan's deduction, there was definitely more to come.

Just then, a row of Japanese paper doors appeared in front of him, and a fierce argument came from inside.

“A holographic movie…” Zheng Zha murmured, and then he saw the paper door being pulled open by an invisible force, and the tragedy that followed was presented to him.

Zheng Zha coldly watched this scene... He had watched "Ju-on" a long time ago, and therefore felt utterly disgusted by madmen like Saeki Takeo.

How cowardly must a person be to vent their anger on the weaker and the innocent?

His sense of danger told him it was just an illusion, and that launching an attack would be futile. Kayako was reduced to fragments by Saeki Takeo's repeated slashes.

Just then, Takeo Saeki turned around, as if he saw Zheng Zha, and then walked towards Zheng Zha with a kitchen knife in his hand. Kayako, who had just been dismembered, was also twisted and reassembled, crawling over with Takeo Saeki.

“I don’t sense any danger…” Zheng Zha frowned slightly. “But this should be the fifth wave of attacks.”

As he pondered, Zheng Zha shifted to the left and right, and the two ghosts, a man and a woman, followed him.

The crimson flames surged once more, and Zheng Zha dashed forward to Saeki Takeo. Saeki Takeo immediately raised his cleaver, and this seemingly ordinary cleaver triggered Zheng Zha's long-dormant sense of danger.

Zheng Zha was incredibly fast. Before the cleaver could fall, he slapped Saeki Takeo's twisted face, smashing the ugly head to ashes.

Then, without stopping, he kicked Kayako in the face, and the red flames split her pale body in two.

Just then, a sense of threat arose from behind. Zheng Zha took a step forward, dodging the attack from behind, and then turned around sharply.

Saeki Takeo, who had just been scattered, was able to return to his original state. Kayako, who had been split in two by a kick, also emitted white mist, which merged the two sides of her body back together.

A "clucking" sound rang out, and the two ghosts, a man and a woman, launched another attack on Zheng Zha.

“How could the red flames not kill them…” Zheng Zha was startled by this change and temporarily stopped attacking. He circled around the two ghosts, keeping his distance, while pondering the situation.

After circling twice, Zheng Zha took out a submachine gun from the Blood Kiss and attacked the two ghosts, but the bullets passed right through them, as if they were just ordinary bullets.

Zheng Zha was certain that the bullet in the gun was from a spirit; he wasn't a gorilla, how could he make such a basic mistake?

“Now there’s no sense of danger again…” Zheng Zha’s blank gaze moved between the two ghosts, “but the attack just now was effective.”

"So, when there's a sense of danger, they're the real ghosts, not illusions?" Zheng Zha whispered.

If Mu Xiang were here, he would be moved to tears... Aren't you very clever!
"But why can't it be killed..." Zheng Zha put away his submachine gun. "This shouldn't be the main body of the curse, right?"

He stood still, took a deep breath, and then a deep crimson flame spread around him... This time, he was going to get serious!

"Could it be that you two are actually two parts of the same boss, and we have to defeat them at the same time to pass the level?" Zheng Zha thought to himself.

Just then, Saeki Takeo's cleaver was already in front of him, and Kayako was about to strike him as well. As the alarm blared, Zheng Zha stepped forward and stood between them.

The deep red flames suddenly subsided and concentrated under Zheng Zha's left arm, which Zheng Zha then used to block Saeki Takeo's kitchen knife.

The sound of flesh being pierced rang out. Zheng Zha's blank eyes were devoid of emotion. Then, an even more intense crimson flame erupted from his left arm. Before Saeki Takeo could finish his slash, he was engulfed by the crimson flame.

Vampire Combat Skill: Burning Night!

Zheng Zha continued his movements, leaning back like a drunkard... and then, the blazing red flames slammed into Kayako's body with his left arm.

Kayako couldn't utter a sound before she too was burned to nothingness.

The fifth wave is over!
