Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 90 Going Higher
“Zheng Zha, judging from your appearance, you should have already unlocked the second-stage gene lock.” Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses. “How about you show us? We can have a spar when we get back.”

Chu Xuan also said calmly, "Judging from your performance in the battle against the Beiyanzhou team, your second-tier gene lock has greatly enhanced your combat power. That Chinese man's exchange was obviously much better than yours, but you could suppress him even without activating your gene lock... After unlocking your second-tier gene lock, you crushed him completely."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zha took a deep breath, then his eyes went blank, his whole body trembled, and he suddenly swelled up. It seemed as if something was inflating his body. With a low, painful roar, Zheng Zha's arms first grew thicker, and then, to everyone's astonishment, his entire body slowly swelled up again, like a small giant.

His muscles trembled intermittently, and large beads of sweat rolled down his face.

Mu Xiang pinched Zheng Zha's muscles and felt his greatly increased muscle strength.

"Your muscles have indeed been greatly enhanced." Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses. "Not only in terms of hardness, but also in flexibility... The description of the second-tier gene lock is to enhance control over the body. Even if a normal attack lands on you head-on, a considerable portion of its power will be absorbed."

Zheng Zha's body slowly shrank back to its normal size, then he smiled and wiped his sweat: "Although it was painful to undo, I can definitely feel myself getting stronger... Now I undo it actively when I'm not in combat, but it would be even faster during combat."

He was still twitching as he spoke, and Zhan Lan couldn't help but laugh at him for acting like he was having a seizure. After their bickering, Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses and asked, "Is this what your aftereffects are like? Are there still aftereffects from the first level?"

Zheng Zha scratched his head, thought carefully for a moment, and then said, "It seems like it's gone... Although the pain was quite severe before, there were still adverse reactions; but now it seems that I only experience pain in my muscles and blood vessels, and nothing else."

"That's good..." Mu Xiang smiled. "I probably can't beat you now."

Zheng Zha chuckled again: "Okay, okay... I'll definitely go all out next time."

"Go all out, I was just afraid you'd hold back." Mu Xiang patted Zheng Zha on the shoulder, the pat making a loud thud that made the others gasp in surprise.

"But don't worry, I'm not bad either... I'll catch up with you soon," Mu Xiang said.

Zheng Zha clenched his fist: "Okay, let's work hard together..."

He just didn't say the second half of the sentence...

Only by reaching higher places can one have more choices. Therefore, he must strive to live, to reach higher places, and to give himself and others more options!

Nothing happened that night or the fifth day... but in the early morning of the sixth day, as if it had been planned, the Buddhist scriptures quietly shattered into scraps of paper.

Mu Xiang, who was on night watch, immediately noticed the problem and called for everyone to evacuate the hotel.

"Retreat immediately to the temple." Mu Xiang immediately activated the Seven Kills' Force Field and, together with Zheng Zha, pulled up the people who were not yet awake.

Lu Renjia was pulled up by Mu Xiang, and the moment he got up, he screamed in agony.

Mu Xiang was startled by the scream, then shook him: "Get up, let's go!"

"Oh oh oh oh..." Lu Renjia blushed, then immediately stood up.

Mu Xiang turned to call someone else, while Lu Renjia stared at his retreating figure, his eyes completely black.

"Ok?"

Mu Xiang immediately turned around and looked at the group of newcomers who looked exhausted. Then he frowned and said, "I think I was just being watched. Everyone, hurry up, it's dangerous here."

The Zhongzhou team ran frantically through the dark stairwell, with doors on either side suddenly opening from time to time. Inside, there were either pale-faced women or corpses of various ways.

Zheng Zha saw it clearly. He was expressionless at first, but when he realized that the corpses seemed real, his face immediately turned pale. Zhan Lan grabbed his clothes and used them to run forward. Seeing Zheng Zha's expression, she couldn't help but sigh.

“These… are all people we killed…” Zheng Zha’s voice trembled slightly, and then he thought of Zhan Lan’s unusual behavior in the past two days.

No wonder Zhan Lan hid and vomited that day... It turns out it was because her mental energy scanned these scenes?

Mu Xiang didn't let everyone take the elevator, after all, the infinite elevator in the movie was quite famous.

They rushed outside the hotel and split into three cars to hurry to the temple.

On the road, Mu Xiang's car ran into trouble. Ba Wang was driving when two hands emerged from behind his headrest. But before Ba Wang's protective charm could ignite, Mu Xiang slapped out the pale white hands.

Upon reaching the foot of the mountain gate, numerous ghostly figures were already standing on the steps.

"Damn it, wasn't he supposed to handle the curses? How come there are still so many?!" Zhang Jie cursed, picked up his machine gun, and opened fire on the mountain gate.

Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses, his energy surging, and at this moment, the force field around him seemed to take shape: "It has indeed weakened considerably, otherwise it would be much more than this. Everyone, pay attention, charge into the mountain gate!"

Beside him, Zheng Zha's body ignited with dark red flames. The others also prepared their weapons and, protected by the two, rushed towards the temple.

Upon arriving at the temple, everyone gasped in surprise.

“They…are all dead.” Zheng Zha’s expression darkened further. After saying this, he lowered his head to look at the dead bodies of the people.

Some people lost half of their faces, some lost all their features... Some were hanged by their hair from Buddha statues, and some were stuffed into donation boxes.

"Why did they die..." Zheng Zha said in a low voice.

Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses: "Temples at night don't have the same warding-off-evil power as they do during the day... Otherwise, we could have survived seven days just by staying here. The main god wouldn't have given us such a simple challenge."

This answer was certainly not what Zheng Zha needed, or rather, it wasn't even the same question.

These corpses had one thing in common: they had lost all their blood and were all shriveled and pale white.

Mu Xiang also carefully examined the environment and the corpses, then sighed inwardly.

His eyes were already vacant, and as he stepped into the courtyard, he felt an intense sense of threat. It was as if the temple, which was a place of protection against evil by day, had become a den of demons by night.

"Attention..." Mu Xiang looked around and found that Chu Xuan and Zhao Yingkong had also entered the same state. The others also tensed up and went on alert again.

Only Zheng Zha remained standing silently amidst the corpses filling the courtyard.

The next moment, a dark red river rose from the ground. And in front of Zheng Zha, the tangled corpses merged into a pale white mass of flesh and bone, which slowly stood up.

I've been traveling these past couple of days, so updates will be slower. Sorry. The Ju-on team battle is nearing its end. Thank you all for your support.
