I Am Extraordinary Alone
Chapter 436 - 434 Ghost Agent

Chapter 436: Chapter 434 Ghost Agent

Chen Ke didn’t hesitate and snapped his fingers at the broken log in front of him.

The enormous air vibrations sent the mud and tree trunks before him flying, but in his eyes, the blue outline of the deer remained clearly visible as the Ghost Knight’s bullets penetrated the black soil and struck his armor.

Chen Ke charged forward, shield ahead, and summoned the Fire-igniting Broadsword with his right hand.

In an instant, a huge tree trunk slammed into the deer, and Chen Ke rushed forward, plunging his sword into the blood-drenched human head, then twisted the hilt, severing the head from the body.

However, he could no longer see the Ghost Knight.

He held up his shield on guard and stuck the Fire-igniting Broadsword in the ground to serve as a torch, pulling out his Glock pistol as he searched for traces of the Ghost Knight while examining the body at his feet.

The deer was dead, and upon closer inspection of its body, Chen Ke found its severed head had human features, which were very distinct. Inside the split deer’s head, there was even a part of a human body.

He checked the rear half of the deer and saw the same thing he had observed before; this half of the body could vaguely be discerned as human, except the lower legs had mutated into hooves.

This creature was like a person who had burst into the back of a deer and exploded out the deer’s head, replacing the deer’s lower half with their own...

Lear would probably be very familiar with this sort of thing. In his world, such monsters were common in the countryside, and the people weren’t afraid of them. A few farmers with pitchforks could handle them.

But in his world, this sort of thing would most certainly be categorized as an anomalous creature, with a specific organization classifying it and documenting it.

And here? How did the people in this world view these creatures?

He shook himself out of his reverie and looked again toward the pitch-black jungle but couldn’t see a single shadow.

The Knight had no outline, and his spiritual vision couldn’t perceive him. He didn’t know if there was some strange factor in this world or something else, but Chen Ke hated feeling like this.

Having used the clairvoyance overlay for a long time, he had grown accustomed to it, feeling blind without it.

He conjectured two possibilities for the Ghost Knight: one possibility was that the Knight was the human spirit of the deer, matching the human part inside the deer.

But he couldn’t accept the ghost being capable of using an automatic rifle.

The other possibility was that the Ghost Knight and the deer were separate. The deer was merely being used as a mount.

If the latter were true, Chen Ke could only assume that this Ghost Knight was part of the Superpower Special Forces.

Ruan Yu had also said that in the struggle for the Heavenly Falling Objects, superpowers would send superpower special forces into hotspots to compete, avoiding conventional military conflict.

He packed away his shield and longsword and switched to an automatic rifle, continuing towards his target.

After about ten minutes of groping around, he saw a figure behind a tree.

The figure still had no outline. Using the light filtering through the forest from the moon, Chen Ke vaguely saw the person hiding behind the tree, with half of their body peeking out at him.

This way of hiding was too amateurish and perfunctory, after all, the part that was exposed was too conspicuous...

He crouched and observed for a while, and the figure also stayed motionless, watching him. The two remained in a standoff.

Chen Ke sighed, walked directly up to the person, and the figure remained motionless, baffling him.

He pulled out his lantern and to his surprise, he found that half of the person’s body had grown into the tree. The exposed half had been dead for a long time, but the body hadn’t decomposed. Instead, moss had grown on the skin and flesh buds sprouted on the head.

Judging from the person’s attire, he was likely a mountain hunter or a farmer who gathers herbs. The Heavenly Falling Objects had fallen here and affected this forest. The hunters active in the woods had also been affected, merging with animals and plants.

Chen Ke sensed a killing intent, and his lifespan was increasing as a result.

He slowly turned around, and six Ghost Knights were standing about 10 steps away, aiming their rifles at him.

Now, he could properly observe these people. Their equipment and clothing were no different from a regular special forces unit, except their masks were painted with Bodhisattva’s lips and they had katanas hanging at their waists.

"You’ve picked the wrong opponent." Chen Ke said.

Their bullets couldn’t harm him. Flames ignited in Chen Ke’s right hand, and Anhelei’s ash erupted with the power of flames, raising the temperature around him. The Black Knight arm armor was glowing red-hot, but this armor was immune to fire and high heat, allowing him to safely use the power of the Flame Witch.

The Ghost Soldiers pulled the trigger; the bullets left blue scorch marks on the surface of the armor, and at the same time, the surrounding temperature suddenly rose, filling the air with an unpleasant burnt smell as the ground vegetation curled and dried.

A few seconds later, the tree behind Chen Ke caught fire, followed by more trees, one after another. Centered around him, the forest ignited into a sea of fire.

The Ghost Soldiers were unaffected, but they were still thrown into a panic and ran in one direction.

Chen Ke guessed that these men might be using a form of spiritual projection to wield their superpowers. Their real bodies must be nearby, and their panic was likely due to fear of their bodies being burned...

He chased after them for over a kilometer and finally came across a campsite made up of four large tents in a clearing in the forest.

There were some ordinary soldiers in the camp who had also noticed the fire. Thick smoke would soon spread to the entire forest, and these people were doomed.

Chen Ke didn’t need to breathe. He walked through the thick smoke, raised his rifle, and under the cover of the smokescreen, shot the armed personnel in the camp. The fire spread faster than he had imagined. Half of his body was already engulfed in flames, and the soldiers in the camp had no chance to resist; they were all precisely killed by Chen Ke.

He jumped into the camp, his heavy armor clanging loudly. Looking around, he saw no sign of the Ghost Soldiers. He lifted the flaps of the tents to check, finding only a few sets of individual combat gear scattered on the ground.

In another tent, he saw a woman with an IV drip, lying on a cot. She was covered with a thin blanket, her face haggard, her eyes closed, and her expression pained.

Medicine People?

Chen Ke stepped forward, pulled back the woman’s blanket, and saw she was naked with a long injection site along her spine. He checked the IV bag hanging beside her, which was almost empty. He couldn’t understand the complex medication name and didn’t know what it was used for.

Chen Ke removed his armor, pulled the needle from the back of the woman’s hand, then wrapped her in the blanket and carried her out.

The flames had engulfed the entire forest. Chen Ke patted the woman’s body, and she was immediately enveloped in a time bubble, her body stopping all movement. Chen Ke then put on the Black Knight armor again, holding the woman as he charged into the flames.
