American variety show world begins with subduing Jason

……

"Damn it, another trap!"

Arken, clutching the little girl Hannah, retreated in panic. He thought the bedroom window, which he believed was the only way out, had been secretly fitted with two rows of spring-loaded sharp blades. If his pet cat hadn't jumped out first and triggered the mechanism, his arm or even his head would have been severed by now!

The man felt like he had fallen into a nightmare tonight!

Originally, he only wanted to return to his old ways and make some money to pay off his debts, but he unexpectedly discovered that Mr. Mike and his family, who should have left for vacation during the day, were being imprisoned and tortured in the basement by a mysterious person, and the two bodyguards died strangely and tragically.

Terrified, he immediately tried to flee, but was horrified to discover that the house, which had been perfectly normal when he arrived, was now filled with countless strange and bizarre mechanisms that seemed to be alive!

When I tried to call the police, a nail suddenly shot out of the receiver!

Trying to squeeze out through the back door, they were nearly sliced ​​into pieces by the crisscrossing, sharp steel wires!

Ceiling, steps, stairs, tables and chairs, doors and windows...

Animal traps, crossbow bolts, blades, nails, snares...

Gears, springs, air pressure, levers...

Various locations, types, and structures of mechanical traps, all deadly enough, left him battered and bruised in moments.

If he weren't a mysterious figure who seemed to thoroughly enjoy the cat-and-mouse chase and toy, repeatedly turning a blind eye, he would have been dead long ago.

In the endless chase and escape, the unfortunate former habitual thief gradually despaired and almost decided to simply end his life.

Arken has persevered until now only because he is worried about his wife and daughter at home and can't let go of Hannah, the little girl he rescued from the closet.

But it seems it was all for naught in the end...

Tap, tap, the soft, steady footsteps echoed down the stairs, making them creak and groan, like the death knell striking the man's heart.

"Waaah... Tom."

Her parents and sister were suddenly kidnapped by strange strangers, and now her beloved cat has died tragically before her eyes. Hannah was in a daze, and in her tear-filled eyes, she seemed to see her pet come back to life, playfully scratching at the glass outside the window as before.

Tap, tap, the footsteps stopped leisurely in front of the bedroom door, and the gleaming silver handle turned gently.

"Hehe, tired of playing games? Then obediently become my mechanical material..."

The deep, mixed vibrato sounded like a bunch of steel plates, iron bars, wooden blocks, and ropes tangled together and rubbing against each other, making one's hair stand on end.

"You should use your own brain to make those damn things!"

A sturdy aluminum baseball bat swung out suddenly, tearing through the air with a man's roar, and slammed down hard on the enemy's exposed forehead!

Chapter 262 Traps, Mechanisms, and Perverted Monsters 2

Even though he had retired from the underworld for many years, Aken still retained some of the fierce courage of his gangster days; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to hold his own against such a ruthless and cunning enemy for so long.

He had been planning this attack for a long time. He hid in the blind spot by the door and struck with all his might. Although he knew from the bloody chase that this guy's physique seemed to be a bit too strong, he was confident that he could give him a serious injury!

After all, no one's head is harder than a metal rod...

The man stared at the weapon, which was bent into the shape of a "几" (ji), and his mind went blank for a moment, revealing an expression of utter horror.

"You know, courage is something to be admired. The bones and tendons of the brave are made into something extra tough and durable."

Amidst the leisurely sounds of approval, the mysterious man's full-coverage black leather mask cracked and rolled up, revealing gears, files, and spring steel plates gleaming with an eerie light. Like a bizarre meat grinder, it crushed and devoured the alloy baseball bat bit by bit.

"Weird...monster!"

At this moment, Arken could no longer suppress his intense fear. He grabbed a huge plush rabbit and waved it around wildly, completely disregarding whether this ridiculous toy could be of any use in defending against enemies.

A pair of large hands reached out, with sharp tools such as screwdrivers, saw blades, steel rulers, and chisels growing from the tips of their ten fingers. The soft cotton fabric was easily transformed into colorful fluff that fluttered down like snowflakes.

Now that his inhuman identity had been exposed, the mysterious man abandoned his toying intentions and suddenly grabbed at his two prey!

"Tom, have you come to take me to heaven...?" In extreme fear, Hannah stared blankly at the blurry cat face outside the window, lost in thought.

"boom!"

The next moment, shattered glass and the blade embedded in it, along with a lithe figure, slammed heavily into the mysterious man's face. His hairy limbs shot out like lightning, kicking him so hard that his face was thrown back and he staggered backward.

The sleek, shiny lynx leaped onto the bedside table, uttering rapid, human-like words:

"Run!"

As it spoke, it rolled on the ground, its beautiful brown fur gleaming, transforming into the form of a red-haired girl. With a sweeping kick, it picked up a clump of debris and hurled it at the enemy.

"Ha, look what I found! A druid! Another collectible delivered right to my doorstep. Halloween is indeed a harvest festival!"

The ecstatic, twisted laughter was completely absorbed by the unknown evil magic enveloping the mansion, and not a single whiff escaped outside.

The pristine white drawing board was shattered into pieces, and the expensive designer children's boots were reduced to scraps.

Amidst swirling silver light, the strange man unleashed two blades from his palms, slicing through any obstacle with unstoppable force, carrying a chilling, bloody killing intent as he slashed towards the disruptor who had intruded into the middle of the game.

But what came into view was the druid girl's smug smile.

From the debris at the mysterious man's feet, several slender yet resilient vines quietly sprouted, binding his legs tightly and rapidly spreading upwards.

"What a boring little scheme." With just a slight pause, a bunch of rotating ratchet saw blades extended from his calves, ready to tear off the restraints in the blink of an eye.

"Crackling and snapping..."

In the brief respite, accompanied by a series of squeezing and cracking sounds, several thick plant roots pierced through the thick and sturdy brick wall and crawled in, as if a giant hand had forcefully scooped up and tore open the two blade mechanisms near the window sill, along with half of the outer wall!

"Don't just stand there! Take the child and let's go!"

Shavings are scattered all over a long stick that has been transformed from an acorn!

With her muscles taut and flowing, Beverly managed to block a double-blade attack from the enemy. In the midst of the chaos, she roared, startling the two who were still in a daze.

Having seen some storms and even spent time in prison, Arken's mental fortitude far surpassed that of the average ordinary citizen. His strong arms encircled little Hannah, and with a leap, he slid down the roots extending to the ground, all the while rattling off a barrage of reminders:

“Be very careful, he killed the bodyguard and Mr. Mike. Mrs. Mike and her eldest daughter are locked in the basement. I’m going to call the police…”

His words were clear and logical, even containing a hint of intimidation, attempting to disrupt the murderer's mind, revealing the man's rich experience in the underworld.

Even though the other party didn't seem to be human, this former habitual thief understood a simple truth: whether it was a human or a ghost, anyone who committed crimes secretly in the middle of the night was bound to be afraid of the authorities!

"Damn it!"

The meat patties on the cutting board suddenly flew away, and the strange man even dared to make threats. He was furious and felt extremely humiliated.

A cold glint flashed, and strands of steel wire with sharp fishhooks spurted from his mouth, ready to capture his delicious prey and torture it thoroughly.

The long, brown-green thorny whip stretched out to block, intertwining with the tuft of steel wire, forming a tight knot, and thwarting the seemingly inevitable pursuit.

Disturbed time and again, the mysterious man's anger intensified. A strange sound like a gear turning in his mouth rang out, and the fishing hook steel ribbon suddenly retracted with tremendous force, pulling the girl holding the long whip off the ground and flying her into the air.

At the same time, his arms, legs, shoulders, chest, and more than a dozen places of flesh were suddenly torn apart, and countless sharp or pointed metal parts, mixed with clumps of burning and scorching poisonous oil and corrosive acid, sprayed out like a storm, determined to tear this troublesome druid girl to pieces!

boom!

The building trembled slightly, and the already dilapidated exterior walls, along with the entire bedroom, were destroyed. Shattered bricks, stones, and wooden planks erupted like a flash flood, spreading out in a wide fan shape in the courtyard.

The hot acid and oil fell into the puddles, instantly sending up plumes of choking white smoke. The lawn was shrouded in mist, obscuring the figures of Aken and his companion as they ran for their lives.

Just as the strange man was about to take a step to catch up, he suddenly felt his body sink. His light and powerful body had somehow become covered with colorful, round and cute mushrooms, which were rapidly absorbing the abundant moisture in the surroundings and multiplying and swelling.

Such a bountiful harvest of mushrooms might make the people of a certain southwestern border region of a great Eastern country ecstatic, but the ruthless freaks who are being used as a culture medium clearly have no interest in hot pot.

"I want to skin you and keep your fur as a collectible decoration!"

Extreme anxiety and anger, along with the steel blade wrapped around her palm, suddenly lengthened several times, forcing the druid girl, whose body color was shifting, out of her mimicry disguise.

The already battered oak staff snapped in two in a single exchange. Beverly didn't dare to linger, and with a swift movement, she knocked down the black wolfhound that had attacked from behind. She then unleashed her ultimate move!

"Roar—!"

With a strange cry, a ferocious giant claw, as large as a palm leaf fan, struck with lightning speed from both sides, delivering a perfect double-peak slap to the enemy's temples.

Before he could react, a surge of extremely violent power suddenly rushed into him. Thunder roared in his ears, the scene before his eyes was chaotic and turbulent, and even his mind went blank for a moment.

He felt as if all the magical components filling his head had suddenly started a wild party, violently shaking and jumping, as if they were about to burst out of his brain at any moment.

Only after he managed to activate his evil magic, sending out two circular saw blades that circled around him and blocked subsequent attacks, did he finally get a clear look at the creature in front of him.

A magnificent beast, over two meters tall, covered in snowy feathers, with a body resembling a bear and a head like an owl, stood upright and unleashed a powerful sonic wave directly at him!

"You brat, aren't you a Druid? Why have you turned into an Owl Bear?"

Ah, I couldn't keep up with the updates anymore. I only finished writing around noon. I'll probably have to rest tomorrow.

Seven days left to achieve perfect attendance, it's so tough! (￣.￣)

266. Taking a day off today.

I'm taking the day off today.

To prepare for this month's perfect attendance bonus, I'm taking a short break to recharge. Please bear with me.

Chapter 263 Traps, Mechanisms, and Perverted Monsters 3

"Why the hell did you turn into an owl bear?"

Stunned by the force field's sonic waves, he staggered backward, his angry curses laced with intense resentment and utter bewilderment.

There are many schools of extraordinary powers in this world, and all kinds of supernatural abilities and secret techniques are even more diverse, but in any case, they must always follow their own internal logic.

In short, it all boils down to the two words: "laws and regulations"!

Whether each system's rules and regulations are rigorous and whether its spirit and vision are grand and far-reaching determines the strength of its combat power and the upper limit of its ultimate achievements.

A large pile of metal ingots and silicon wafer raw materials can only be used as darts to throw at people, but after a complicated industrial process, they can be transformed into the devastating Dongfeng Express.

Therefore, even if some superhumans occasionally awaken amazing talents and become extremely popular, wielding water, fire, wind, thunder, poison, metal, stone, and mental power to wreak havoc, in the eyes of true cultivation masters, it is nothing more than the crude and primitive behavior of using an RPG as a stick. Once a flaw is found in their application, they can be defeated with ease.

This is the vast difference between the two systems.

But where there are laws, there are limitations.

For example, churches and other religious groups worship God, practice holy light, and walk the path of light. Regardless of their personal character, they must never use magic related to releasing evil attributes.

For corrupted monsters like the Mechanical Monster, who have abandoned their human identity, killing and harming others is second nature to them, and using the power of divine healing is equally difficult.

When it comes to the Druid class specifically, its most signature core ability is, of course, the famous Natural Transformation, which is said to mimic any living being.

But since its name includes "nature," it means that its scope is limited to "natural creatures"!
