I slay demons and monsters in a bizarre city.

Chapter 16 Addiction
Li Changgeng felt as if all the bones in his body were broken. He had fallen hard. Xia Mengmeng was barely breathing and looked like she was going to die soon.
This little dwarf was far uglier than its mother, haunted by the nightmare of pregnancy. It was indescribably ugly, and even more lewd and evil. The Thirteen Coffins of Evil Spirits were truly terrifying and disgusting. If this evil mother and child hadn't been right in front of Li Changgeng, he would never have believed that such a horrifying thing could exist in the darkness of the night.

The little dwarf had dark green drool dripping from the corner of his mouth, reminding Li Changgeng of the octopus girl in carriage number 4 of the ghost train at sea. It really refreshed his understanding of the bottom line. Compared to this mother and child, the octopus girl was far inferior.

Even if eternal night descends and mist engulfs the city, could something so terrifying really exist?
Li Changgeng could feel fear and intense pain. This shouldn't be a dream. Was he still in the game? Li Changgeng was a little confused about everything in front of him. This was the Buddhist hall of the Buddhist Academy on the campus of Black Sea City University. Why was he making such a commotion? Didn't anyone else notice, like the school's security team or someone call the police?

The police department responsible for maintaining order in Blacksea City is still operating normally. There are explosions and deaths, but the city seems to be isolated from the outside world. Where did these terrifying and bizarre alien creatures come from?
"Hehe, I haven't had such a fresh heart in so long, I'm so hungry!" The little dwarf hopped and skipped, enjoying the thrill of a hunter killing his prey. His steps were unsteady, like the seductive dance of a shaman, and his sharp, tooth-like fingers were rotten and decaying.

"Wait, let's discuss some terms."

"I guarantee you'll get what you want."

Li Changgeng finally struggled to his feet. A man would rather die standing than live on his knees. He didn't care if he died, but what about his younger sister Li Ying, who was unconscious in the hospital? And what about Dong Mengmeng, the junior schoolmate in front of him? This girl had been protecting him all along.

"What are the conditions?" The little dwarf with pointed ears and fangs rubbed his hands together. With this force, he lost a finger, and a red maggot was wriggling and crawling inside his hand bone.

“I will let this girl live, and I can make a deal with you. I will take you to eat more hearts, and I can also give you Buddha’s relics.”

Li Changgeng said with a firm gaze, "Anyway, even if you kill me and this girl, you will never be able to obtain the Buddha's relics."

"What you're most interested in are these cat-headed people, and I can tell you where they come from!"

"It's obvious that the cat-headed man was specifically created to deal with your nightmare! Don't you want to know the whole story?"

Li Changgeng saw the fear and confusion in the eyes of the fetal nightmare woman regarding the cat-headed man. Clearly, she had not anticipated the appearance of the cat-headed man. The cat-headed man's suppression of the puppet infants was like a biological bloodline. The three troublesome puppet infants were also very ferocious and not so easy to deal with.

It seems very difficult to survive.

At least the Skeleton Reaper has the rules of death; as long as the rules are broken, one can survive.

The nightmare of the Thirteen Coffins of Evil Spirit is unreasonable. Her intelligence seems very low. The three dead infant puppets and the little dwarf that split off from her don't seem very smart.

Unintelligent people naturally prefer to solve problems with insane violence.

"Hehe, young man, you're still quite sharp. I really do want to know where these cat-headed monsters came from, but as for this girl?"

The giant, with its crooked mouth and nightmare-like appearance, strode down at Li Changgeng, "This girl is one of the Ten Pillar Gods, the Pillar of Fire. She hasn't reached a certain level of cultivation yet, so we must nip her in the bud. Otherwise, given time, I won't be her match. If I eat your brain, maybe I'll become a little smarter."

"kill!"

The nightmare squinted its fist-sized, black and red, evil eyes, and pointed its foot-long fingers at Li Changgeng's face.

The little dwarf started dancing wildly again, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, his steps sometimes big, sometimes small, sometimes high, sometimes low, his lewd eyes sending chills down one's spine.

The little dwarf's body vanished from the spot amidst a puff of purple smoke. This little dwarf could use earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magical ability or technique).

Having witnessed it, Li Changgeng would surely flee to Li Changgeng's feet.

Should we leave? Run! If we run now, at least we still have a chance. But if he leaves, Xia Mengmeng will surely die.

Li Changgeng gritted his teeth. Even if he ran, he might not be able to escape. These cat-headed people couldn't have appeared out of thin air. Someone must be controlling them from behind the scenes.

Boom...

The ground beneath Li Changgeng's feet cracked as if an earthquake had struck, but the little dwarf did not harm him. Instead, it emerged from the ground more than three feet away from him, its eyes still showing some fear as it looked at Li Changgeng.

"Mother, this young man has a divine mark on him!"

The little dwarf slunk over to the Nightmare Giant, clinging tightly to her arm. "Could he be...?"

Those who bear divine marks are unique beings and symbols of God.

The Thirteen Coffins of Evil Spirits are at most half-gods; they have no divine status and certainly no divine seal.

What is a divine seal?
Li Changgeng was completely bewildered. When would he be able to obtain the divine seal?
"Interesting." The giantess's fist-sized eyes darted around listlessly, her large hands gently stroking the sparse, curly green hair on the little dwarf's head. "Baby, don't be afraid, go back to your mother's tummy."

The little dwarf tore open the bleeding wound on the abdomen of the Nightmare Giant, tilted his head, and crawled inside. The Nightmare Giant grew nearly a foot taller, her bones cracking and popping. The little dwarf's entry into her body seemed to strengthen her.

Li Changgeng was completely immobilized. The Nightmare Giantess had already decided to kill him. It was truly bizarre and evil. If he survived today, he could incorporate these things into the plot of a game, and it would definitely be a blockbuster game.

The divine seal has not yet taken shape; it is merely a phantom.

The Nightmare stared at Li Changgeng with lustful eyes. She never expected to be so lucky as to be able to eat the heart of someone with a divine seal. This would be a qualitative leap in her strength, and she might even be able to sit in the first seat of the Thirteen Coffins of Evil Spirits and become the true boss.

"Don't force me to take action." Li Changgeng was truly filled with resentment, resenting that he didn't have any superpowers or special abilities. The helplessness he felt in the face of this terrifying unknown monster was worse than death.

"Oh dear, young hunk, are you angry? I forgot to tell you, I also have a very powerful reproductive function. How about we rape and kill each other first, or rape and kill each other at the same time, hehehe... Hehehe!"

The ear-piercing scream of the nightmare, which shook the soul, drilled into Li Changgeng's ears, making him dizzy and his head throb as if it were about to explode.

Li Changgeng felt his body float upwards, his feet leaving the ground high, as the nightmare grabbed his waist with one hand and lifted him up.

The fetal nightmare opened its enormous maw, ready to swallow it whole...
