Capítulo 2054: Chapter 1382: Deadly Shadows in the Night
For March City, this was just another ordinary night.
Under the night sky, neon lights flickered, and n and won ca and went on the Bustling Street, enjoying the fervor of nightlife.
Little did they realize, darkness was silently creeping upon them.
“Hehehe…”
Hugging the girl beside him, the office worker walked into the hotel with a smug smile. He had only ant to chat up a female high school student sitting by the statue in the square outside the station while he was sowhat drunk, never expecting her to be so forthcoming.
She looked like such a good girl, but kids these days are really sothing else.
Looking at the girl beside him and slling her sweet fragrance, the office worker felt himself becoming eager and impatient. He booked the room at the fastest speed possible and then pulled the girl straight inside. So eager he was that he couldn’t even wait to lock the door before pulling the girl tightly into his arms.
“Ah… this is great.”
Feeling the youthful sensation emanating from the girl in his arms, the office worker almost drooled, taking a deep breath before leaning down to seal her lips with his.
“Mmm… Mmm…”
The girl just stood there motionless, allowing the office worker to take liberties. Just as the office worker was about to remove her uniform, his movents suddenly stopped. Then, with a jolt of terror, he pushed away in a struggle. Simultaneously, a slimy tentacle appeared between the girl and the office worker!
“Mmm… Mmm…”
The office worker tried to break free, but the tongue extending from the girl’s mouth was like a giant serpent, thrusting deep into his throat. At the sa ti, the girl extended her hands, gripping the office worker’s arms — those slender, seemingly fragile hands now felt like iron clamps, firmly restraining his movents. As the office worker’s struggles grew more frantic, he found himself hoisted like a fish on a hook, swaying incessantly in the air by the tentacle lodged deep in his throat!
“Mmm!! Mmm…!!!”
Under the pink lighting, the office worker’s shadow on the wall thrashed wildly. anwhile, the girl entangled with him began to transform as multiple tentacles erged, lunging at the office worker once again!
“———!!!”
Finally, with a near-roar of anguish, the office worker’s silhouette rged entirely with the tentacles.
Yet, this wasn’t the end.
“Gah!!”
Accompanied by a frigid gleam and a scream, a woman collapsed on the ground, staring at her daughter in shock, utterly unsure of how to react.
“Ma, Mariko, what are you doing?”
The woman couldn’t comprehend why her well-behaved daughter in high school was pointing a kitchen knife at her.
“What’s happening? What’s wrong with you? Answer , Mariko!”
Facing the woman’s cries, the girl showed no hesitation, raising the knife, and in the next mont, brought it down, stabbing directly into the woman’s chest. The blow completely killed the woman, leaving her convulsing briefly before turning into a corpse.
Even after killing her own mother, the girl showed no sadness. She stood up and extended her hand toward her mother’s body. Then, a faint white glow erged from the girl.
“Snap.”
With a flash like a cara, the shadow elongating behind the girl started to bubble. The dense shadow surged like boiling water, then congealed into the guise of the woman. The shadowy figure walked forward, crouching to touch the still-warm corpse.
“Snap.”
With another flash, the corpse vanished, leaving only a blackened outline, as if charred on the floor. The figure stood, closed her eyes, and pondered for a mont.
“My na is Yoshino Satomi, 36 years old, a full-ti housewife.”
She spoke, turning to smile at the girl.
“Mariko, you’re ho. Dinner will be ready soon.”
“Is Dad not back yet?”
“He’s probably on his way…”
At that mont, the sound of a key turning resonated from the entrance, followed by a deep voice.
“I’m ho!”
Hearing this, the woman and her daughter exchanged glances before she reached for another kitchen knife on the counter. Mother and daughter then left the kitchen together.
“Welco ho, dear.”
“Welco ho, Dad.”
Under the cover of darkness, similar scenes unfolded continuously as shadows killed their friends and family, scanned them, then copied them, allowing the shadow to consu the original, replacing them entirely.
A vast shadowy net slowly spread from the center of the city, enveloping everything.
But it wasn’t enough.
As the core of this network, Duanmu Huai naturally sensed the information deluging in. Yet, he wouldn’t change his decision because of it. Certainly, these people were innocent, but as a Judge, the innocent fallen by his hands were no fewer than the guilty. Each Extinction order signified the annihilation of billions of innocent lives, their demise serving to ensure more humans survived.
