Chapter 113: Chapter 104: The Whereabouts of Boss Guo

Guo, the boss, just stood there blankly in the plaza. With a "beep beep," a tricycle happened to pass by.

The tricycle was loaded with a full load of food ingredients, possibly prepared by a restaurant in the mall for a day’s business.

The female owner was still a charming young woman, who smiled and greeted the dazed Boss Guo. After all, the tall Guo was a major shareholder of the entire mall.

After snapping out of his daze, Boss Guo said something to this woman.

The camera was so far away that the sound was unclear.

The puzzled look on the female tricycle owner’s face suggested she didn’t know how to reply after glancing back at the ingredients on the tricycle.

"Could it be that Guo is begging for food?" Wang Hao pondered.

"Had Boss Guo already mutated at that moment?"

The next second, an unbelievable scene occurred!

A red mist spewed out from all of Guo’s facial features, turning him into a large gas canister, continuously spewing out red fog.

Like a living entity, the red mist tumbled and writhed, spreading in all directions.

"It looks like a magic show!"

Wang Hao found it slightly amusing, "Is this the Blood Demon projecting its power? It’s quite incredible that it actually used this person as an anchor."

However, in the video, the reality was that the woman riding the electric tricycle was scared to tears, almost falling to the ground. She had never seen such a terrifying scene in her life, a person like a monster, endlessly emitting red fog.

After being engulfed by the red mist, the woman struggled for a bit, stood up, and sped away on the electric tricycle.

She actually ran away.

"It seems that this red mist’s function is indeed not for killing."

What happened next was somewhat unexpected; after spreading the red mist for about ten seconds, Boss Guo returned to his original condition.

He appeared to have aged by decades.

And he dazed out again.

After standing blankly for more than a minute, he suddenly bent over and began vomiting blood profusely!

This blood seemed to have an irresistible attraction to the surrounding crowd!

In just a fleeting moment, people who smelled the blood pounced like hungry tigers, frantically scrambling for it. This scene made Wang Hao a bit uncomfortable, and he blinked hard.

They lay on the ground, greedily licking up all the blood until it was clean, and then, their consciousness was lost, and they developed a frenzied desire to eat.

"So, the vomited blood is the source of infection."

"Those who drank the blood were all infected and turned into Gluttons."

Wang Hao’s expression grew tense as he kept clicking the mouse, "But... where did Boss Guo run off to?"

He accessed the surveillance of other locations, and as Gluttons rampaged for food everywhere, a horror unfolded within the mall.

Less than one in ten people survived.

Of course, these terrifying scenes were not too important; the dead could not be revived.

The main focus was to track Boss Guo.

"Found him."

This guy was feasting like a madman in the supermarket, with a black light emitting from his mouth. This scene seemed hardly different from that of ordinary Gluttons.

Wang Hao asked through the headset, "There’s a big problem, do ordinary foods also attract these anomalies?"

"Hmm, maybe, anomalies attack not only humans but also occasionally animals," Smith replied, "If you put out a bowl of shit, a bowl of dog food, and a bowl of meat, which one would a dog eat first? It depends on the dog’s preference, and we can’t guess the preferences of anomalies, can we?"

Wang Hao said, "Why can’t we guess? Normal dogs like to eat meat, boot-lickers like to eat shit. Not many like dog food, and single dogs don’t seem to like it these days either."

"Boot-...lickers? What breed of dog is that? You know I really like dogs."

"It’s the kind that warmly pursues the uninterested. But to bootlick one person is a boot-licker, to chase a group is to be king of the seas."

"???" Smith, completely lost in the profundity of Chinese, filled his mind with question marks.

After devouring food for five minutes, Boss Guo was the first anomaly to have eaten its fill.

Yes, he actually ate his fill. He had swallowed almost all of the supermarket’s food, probably several tons of vegetables, fruits, meats, fish, and snacks, and could not eat any more. It seemed that even Gluttons had their limits of capacity.

At that instant, his face seemed to show a hint of pain. He looked down at his swollen belly and his gigantic body.

His body shape was no longer human.

His face showed a complex expression, and his eyes seemed to regain a trace of clarity.

Then, he walked towards the increasingly dense red fog.

The video ended there; due to the relentless spread of the "red mist," the entire mall had been moved to the Parallel Worlds by the "red mist," and after a power cut, the surveillance could no longer record more.

Wang Hao was immensely shocked by this scene; it was incredibly informative.

He had a lot of thoughts!

Licking his dry lips, he turned to his two companions and said, "There’s good news, the infection source ’Boss Guo’ seems to have fled, so we don’t have to risk fighting him. He disappeared completely into the red mist due to unknown reasons."

"Did he run away?"

"Yes, we can almost confirm he ran away!"

"There’s also bad news. Boss Guo’s escape is terrible news."

"Wait... why is his departure bad news?" Smith asked in astonishment, "Didn’t you say it was good news?"

Wang Hao remained silent for a moment, unsure of how to explain.

Should he mention that Boss Guo might have escaped to "Paradise"?

According to the information known, "Paradise" is likely the final destination for all those under the influence of the Blood Demon’s power projection.

The Blood Ginseng old man and "Grandma" had been inexplicably trapped and playing prisoner’s gambit in that cursed place... a strange reason that had not been found until now.

Wang Hao finally sighed and put it another way: "Boss Guo’s escape means that the ultimate boss’s emergence was beyond our expectations. This parallel world isn’t Earth, right?"

"Of course not."

"I think this parallel world might be its stepping stone. It’s already capable of doing whatever it wants here."

"In the depths of the red mist, there might even be its true form. It could have called Boss Guo back."

"Doesn’t that qualify as terrible news?"

Smith was stunned on the spot, the true form!

The true form of a Subordinate Demon God!

In this world?!

What concept was that?

"It is indeed possible," Chen Xinyi said, feeling somewhat numb, "Think about it, Smith. Boss Guo got infected after taking that magical drug. How many others on Earth have taken the same drug? Maintaining these anchors actually consumes a significant amount of power."

"Now the time for harvest has finally come. By reclaiming Boss Guo, it’s like reclaiming its own power, becoming stronger. It’s trying to invade Earth fully."

"We may not have much time."

Even Smith caught on, his mind in turmoil: "So that’s it..."

"That’s it, huh? That’s really a complete disaster!"

The world was changing—dark red skies, a small chunk of the world being consumed, strange Gluttons.

Human civilization was facing a life-or-death crisis!

He suddenly felt a premonition of an impending storm.

He was among the scant few who knew...

An unknown Demon God was about to emerge into the real world, posing a substantial threat to all humanity, and time might be running out.

If nothing more was done, it would be too late.

Really too late!

But human effort sometimes reached its limit, and how were they, a mere few, to fight against a Subordinate Demon God?

Chen Xinyi was also in despair, or perhaps she had become numb as well.

At this moment, the carefree Wang Hao, as if dancing on a grave, burst out excitedly, "Since the Subordinate Demon God’s true form might be in this world, shouldn’t we go out and take a look at it? It shouldn’t have a Rule like God, dying at the sight of light, right?"

"If we follow Boss Guo, we might be able to find it!"

"Oh, God! Zhao, who do you think you are? Are you Jesus? No, you’re not! Are you an S-level Investigator? You’re not either! And you actually want to come into contact with it."

Smith screamed in shock through the earpiece, "You’re going to die, you finally survived, don’t go! You don’t have enough protection, losing your life for nothing, it’s meaningless. Just stay here, OK?"

"Who says I’m going to die? As an all-capable E-level Investigator, I’ve been reading ’Detective Conan’ since I was young to train my investigative skills. How could I be worse than an S-level Investigator?" Wang Hao boasted in the earpiece, finding the act of fooling a foreign friend amusing, especially since this foreigner was always panicking.

"What I mean is, even S-levels would hardly make it out alive, understand?"

However, Chen Xinyi, listening to their argument, suddenly had an epiphany.

This deep insight was profound and mysterious, leading her to consider a strange possibility.

Straining to decipher the voice in her earpiece, it was calm and steady, offering an inexplicable sense of security and trust. Even if he said some absurd things, it strangely put one at ease.

Although the circumstances weren’t suitable for relaxation, being too tense wasn’t good either.

There were two possible reasons for this phenomenon. The first was that the other person had a strong psychological quality and presence, at least at an A-level Investigator’s standard. Used to facing grave dangers, they were also prepared for their own death.

With nothing to fear, their tone was naturally steady, even influencing others.

The second reason, was harder to say.

And a bit too frightening to voice...

The more she thought about it, the second possibility... it seemed, maybe, probably larger?!
