Players complained that this NPC killed people without blinking an eye

"King." After seeing the two people, the rotten-skinned candle demon reacted very quickly, lowered his head, and greeted them respectfully.

"Well, you did a good job. We were very satisfied with the conversation." After the negotiation, Sterling was in a good mood, and his eyes softened a lot when he looked at monsters such as the Rotten-Skin Candle Demon.

The rotten-skinned candle demon noticed this and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. You know, under normal circumstances... this king would not have such an expression.

Once the other party's mood becomes bad, a few unlucky guys in the dark layer will have to enter the other party's stomach.

Although it is much better than other disaster-level monsters, I still feel a little scared.

"Escort Mr. Gu out. You all know the exact locations of those heretics on the surface. Just lead Mr. Gu there."

"As for Cogret and I, we will be guarding the boundary wall."

After hearing these words, the rotten-skin candle demon nodded respectfully, greeted Gu Yeming, and walked in the direction he came from.

Gu Yeming exchanged a glance with Sterling beside him, then followed closely.

After watching the other person leave, Sterling looked thoughtful.

A strange man-made monster that inherited the company...?

What on earth was that boss thinking...? Judging from his personality, he was not the type to accept death peacefully.

It narrowed its eyes slightly and instinctively felt that something was wrong, but it didn't know what was wrong.

Forget it, it’s a waste of time. I won’t think about it anymore.

It shook its head, throwing away the messy thoughts.

hum-

With a buzzing sound, it came to Coglete's side in a flash: "Coglete, wake up, it's our turn."

The black mist around Cogret was boiling even more violently, and a thought suddenly appeared in Sterling's mind:

"Have you reached an agreement with that human...?"

"Well, next we just need to stop those guys. Our recent movements were too big, and they should have noticed it a long time ago."

Sterling nodded and continued:

"Those guys were originally the vanguard soldiers sent over there, and they have a great deal of loyalty to the native weird monsters."

"I will not be at peace until these heretics are eradicated."

"At the very least, we need to reduce their grassroots strength first."

"The rest... we'll clean them up one by one."

Hearing this, Cogret transmitted another thought:

"I have no opinion."

"Allowing them to fully invade... will undoubtedly be a huge threat to both us and the humans on the surface."

"And...I felt it. The disgusting liquid seemed to start moving."

Hearing this, Sterling raised his eyebrows, feeling surprised: "So soon...? It seems that other heretics revealed it to it."

"Then we need to speed up our actions. It is estimated that the humans on the surface have already begun to be invaded."

"learn."

......

The scene changed, and Gu Yeming followed the five monsters back to the surface. The surrounding scene turned around in an instant, and the familiar ruins of buildings appeared before his eyes again.

A ray of sunlight shone down, and Gu Yeming looked up and saw that it was already morning.

"Mr. Gu, please follow us." The voice of the rotten-skin candle demon sounded. Gu Yeming was about to follow it, but his expression suddenly changed.

[Hint: Epic Level - The Monarch's Gaze has triggered an additional effect: Malice Perception]

The moment the prompt sounded, Gu Yeming suddenly turned sideways, and a red line suddenly passed by. The next moment, the ruined building behind him was split into two, with a smooth and neat cross-section.

"Who!?" The rotten-skin candle demon reacted quickly. It roared angrily, and the bone-corroding fluid burst out from its fingers, heading straight for the source of the attack!

The second after the corrosive liquid hit the building, the entire building quickly turned into mud and collapsed.

A blood-red figure suddenly flashed out, and two blood lines shot out, rushing towards Gu Yeming at a high speed!

Gu Yeming was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He turned around and made a chopping gesture. A sharp scream followed, and a red light burst out from the air. There was a loud ping-pong sound, and two blood lines were cut open!

At this moment, the attacker's figure finally appeared before his eyes.

This monster has a human-like body but exudes an indescribable weirdness. Its skin is a deathly grey color, tightly stretched over its craggy frame. Every rib is clearly visible, as if it would break through the skin at any time.

It is nearly four meters tall, with thick limbs and dark red blood crystals protruding from the joints, which glow faintly.

The face was like a rough wooden sculpture, with blood-red eyes and a blood streak running from the forehead to the chin. There were no lips to cover it, and the mouth was full of sharp teeth. Blood foamed between the teeth, emitting a pungent smell. It dripped onto the ground, sizzling and smoking, and corroded into small pits.

This person is——

Gu Yeming frowned, he recognized the identity of the attacker!

One of the leaders of the hunting group of maniac hunters, an S-level mutant, Blood Shadow - Abel Matthew.

Previously, he had participated in the siege of the research institute together with the other party!

But now...how did it become like this?

Could it be that it is the Occupying Shadow! ?

"Gu...Yeming?" A very hoarse voice came out from Abel's throat. He - he raised his bloodshot eyes and recognized the identity of the person in front of him.

"Kill me—No...Run, I was attacked and infected by a monster. I can still stay awake for the time being."

"While I am still conscious, quickly inform other S-level psychics. It would be best if they work together to surround and kill me."

"And...there are...accomplices!"

It uttered several words through gnashing teeth, apparently in a constant state of mental struggle.

As soon as it finished speaking, a loud noise was heard, and monster figures suddenly broke through the walls from various corners. Each of them had a strong aura, no weaker than monsters like the Rotten Skin Candle Demon, and it was obvious that they had been waiting for a long time!

"Are they...heretics!?" The rotten-skinned candle demon stared with its shriveled pupils and recognized their identities at a glance.

"It seems that you have leaked the news." Gu Yeming's voice sounded from the side. His tone was indifferent and his eyes calmly scanned the various monsters surrounding them.

Or maybe...it was because of the abnormal-level occupying shadow that he had killed before.
