Chapter 1631 Dean (Two chapters in the middle of the month, please vote)

A light snowflake drifted down the street.

"Have all the shops on the street been evacuated?"

Charn lit a cigarette, looked at the bakery across the street, and said slowly.

“The evacuation has been completed,” the man with the mustache replied, “but some merchants are unwilling to go too far.”

He pointed to the end of the street.

Outside the neon-lit median strip, some elderly people stood watching the scene on the street with caution.

The man with the mustache sighed, "They've basically run their shops here for many years and have grown attached to them. They're afraid something will happen to the shops, so they can't be persuaded to leave."

“It’s normal. Even inanimate objects can develop feelings after spending a lot of time together,” Charn said, staring at the wall between the bakery and the convenience store. “They’ve been inside for so long, I wonder if something happened to them.”

“If it really is the Level 1 anomaly Reed mentioned, then it is indeed very dangerous,” the man with the mustache said in a hoarse voice, as he lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth. “But Reed is very experienced, they should be able to come out normally.”

As he spoke, his voice gradually faded.

The two fell silent for a moment.

Behind them, a small doll was pressed against the window of the off-road vehicle, its eyes fixed on the street through the snow.

Abnormal

Heo and Reed stood in front of the towering building.

The building's door was broken, revealing an opening leading to the inner corridor.

Compared to the exterior of the building, the interior was even more dilapidated, with soot everywhere, and through the windows one could still vaguely see the blackened remains of a fire.

He watched all of this quietly, then looked up and gazed at the back of the building.

The tip of the mountain's shadow was almost completely swallowed by the hazy mist, with only its broad base visible.

"Shall we go in?" Reed glanced at Heo and asked hoarsely.

He Ao nodded slightly and walked towards the open door.

At that very moment, a huge shadow suddenly descended from above them and crashed down on their bodies.

But as if they were prepared, Heo and Reed simultaneously dodged to the sides.

The earth was torn apart at that moment, scattering countless fragments.

Reed drew two short swords from his waist, while Howo gripped the Spear of Vistara, watching the massive shadow descend from the sky.

It was a huge figure, about fifty meters tall, with a broad and stout build, standing there even taller than the dilapidated little building.

Cato, the fat guy hanging on the wall.

He was another person 'captured' by the ghost.

Since that figure from before is active, it's highly likely that Cato is also active.

Both Heo and Reed knew he was definitely in the smoke and dust, perhaps waiting for an opportunity to attack.

So while they appear to be moving forward naturally, they are actually always preparing to guard against a sneak attack.

At that moment, the enormous figure lowered its head, glanced at Heo and Reed, and then pounced towards Heo's location without hesitation.

When He Ao saw the enormous figure, as tall as a small mountain, rushing towards him, he did not retreat but advanced, taking a step forward and leaping out.

He Ao dodged the giant figure's forward grabbing motion and missed.

He Ao's body tumbled in the air, his spear pointing downwards, piercing the massive figure's body, the crystal spear tip sinking into the back of his neck.

He Ao's body also landed on the back of the huge figure at the same time.
The enormous figure also stood up at that moment, slapping his back with his palm.

But He Ao had already gripped the gun handle and slashed downwards with great force, tearing a huge gash in the back of the massive figure.

Thick smoke and dust spurted from the wound.

"call--"

The huge figure, in pain, swung its body violently, sending He Ao flying.

At that moment, Reed suddenly leaped up and landed on his calf, then crossed his swords and slashed open his knee.

The enormous figure leaned forward, its knees pointing forward.

He landed on the ground, twirled his spear, and looked at the towering, huge, and fat figure.

Having a health bar makes things much easier. Even if you can revive, it will be a long time from now. It's much more comfortable than those unreasonable rules.

He stretched his limbs and then leaped again.

The huge figure saw him running over and immediately raised its hand to block, then slapped down.

A surge of flame erupted from his palm and rushed toward He Ao.

He Ao dodged the flames, raised his spear, and pierced the giant figure's palm with the spear tip. Then he pressed down on the spear shaft, and the entire spear instantly deformed. The end of the spear then sprang up, carrying the figure's body upwards.

At the same time, the spear tip detached from the hand, somersaulted in the air following He Ao's body, and thrust forward, piercing directly into the neck of the massive figure.
Then He Ao suddenly pulled back his spear, the crystal tip of which was pulled out and pulled back half a circle along the pierced wound.

"what--"

The enormous figure felt pain again, roared angrily, and trembled.

The thick smoke and dust further tore open the wound, spraying out from the figure's neck.

He Ao leaped onto the shoulder, extended his spear, and slammed it down on the head of the enormous figure.

The head, which had been torn in half, was completely ripped open.

In that instant, amidst a violent roar, the massive body suddenly collapsed.

He Ao stepped onto the figure's shoulders, caught the last remaining part of the body that hadn't collapsed, and with a mighty leap, flipped backward and landed in the dust.

The enormous figure, over fifty meters tall, collapsed and crumbled rapidly, like a sand dune.

Smoke and flames flew out and merged into the surrounding smoke.

He Ao landed on his feet, looked at the collapsing figure in front of him, and slowly gripped the spear in his hand.

Reed slowly emerged from the smoke and dust, standing beside Heo. "Such a strong guy, and you took him down so quickly?"

Although He's actions involved many details, in Reed's eyes, it was nothing more than a matter of a blink of an eye.

“We didn’t kill him,” Heo said, glancing down at the scattered ashes on the ground. “He’ll come back to life later.”

As he spoke, he lowered his head and walked toward the broken door of the building in front of him.

Reed paused, glancing at the ashes ahead.

He could clearly sense that this enormous figure definitely had other powerful moves that it hadn't used yet, such as the move of the flames gushing from its palm, which it had only flashed by.

But He Ao didn't give his opponent a chance to show himself at all, and with absolute rhythm and control of the field, he directly defeated his opponent.

Based on that brief encounter, he was almost certain that this monster could unleash power approaching that of a C-level monster.

Even if this monster lacked combat skills, he might not be able to defeat it if he were alone.

He raised his head and looked at He Ao's back in front of him.

After a brief pause, he quickly caught up with the other person.

"Where is the dean's office?" he asked quickly.

"The middle spot on the third floor." He Ao raised the long spear in his hand.

As they spoke, the two had already stepped through the broken doorway.

In the empty corridor ahead, a charred figure suddenly appeared and rushed towards the two.

He raised his gun and shredded the charred figure to pieces, then moved forward and passed through the porch.

In the corridor ahead, countless charred human figures appeared before them.

“I think I understand now what form those aberrant cults take,” Reed said suddenly, looking at the charred figures.

“This doesn’t sound like good news.” He Ao reached out and adjusted his smart glasses.

He gazed at the charred figures.

A dead criminal is worthless if killed again.

He raised his spear, exchanged a glance with Reed, and suddenly charged forward.

A sudden cloud of smoke and ash spread through the corridor.

······
"It seems your plan wasn't very successful; they've already come to our doorstep."

A slightly mocking voice came from the shadows of the office.

“That little guy’s strength is indeed beyond my expectations,” a slightly wistful voice came from behind the sofa. “But it doesn’t matter. The fact that he came here is enough for me to succeed.”

The chair slowly turned around, blocking the dim light from the window and casting a shadow on the table.

The office door that had disappeared slowly reappeared.

The shadow on the sofa looked up at the shadow in the corner of the office. "I need your help to get rid of them."

"Cooperating with you back then might have been a mistake." The figure in the shadows stepped out, walked towards the office door, and slowly pushed it open.

······
boom--

He shredded the last charred man's body and stepped onto the last step of the third floor.

He looked up at the corridor ahead.

Reed had already stepped into the corridor ahead of him. Now, opposite Reed was a thin, charred figure.

He stood at the entrance to the stairwell and corridor, staring blankly at He Ao.

Compared to the charred figures from before, his expression seemed less 'numb'.

But he was also somewhat dazed, as if his body, which had just lost its soul, was being driven by some inexplicable force.

In that instant, the charred figure pulled a short sword made of flames from its body and launched an attack.

Reed also stepped forward abruptly, raising his twin swords to block the attack.

During this brief collision, Reed's expression changed slightly, and he took half a step back.

Clearly, the charred figure's physical strength exceeded his expectations.

However, he quickly prepared himself, took a step forward, used one sword to deflect the charred figure's dagger, and thrust the other sword at the charred figure.

The charred figure couldn't react in time; its short sword was deflected, and it couldn't dodge in time, so the broken sword pierced its body.

boom--

However, before Reed could launch his next attack, a deafening explosion rang out behind the charred figure.

Then, in the next instant, the charred figure's body was cleaved in two by the massive chainsaw sword, which was wreathed in flames and roared, scattering into ashes all over the ground.

Then, without hesitation, the chainsaw sword slashed towards Reed's face, who hadn't even had time to react.

boom--

Just as the chainsaw sword was about to tear Reed's entire body apart, the tip of the crystal spear was placed in front of Reed's eyes.

Like a star streaking across time, it blocked the raging flames of the sword.
