For the boy, this was an unimaginable day.
He finally mustered up the courage to confess his love to the girl he loved and went on a date with her. To the boy, these days were like a dream. If things continued like this, he should be able to become boyfriend and girlfriend with this girl, but... what on earth was going on?
The young man who was tied up tightly stared at the woman in front of him in amazement. At this moment, she was no longer as gentle and kind as before. Her eyes had completely changed. The blood flowing from her mouth and her beast-like appearance all showed that the woman in front of him was not human.
But a monster.
"The monster should just find a good place to lie down and bury himself."
Fang Zheng silently aimed at the target and whispered to himself, and at this moment, Sayu's voice rang in Fang Zheng's ears again.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, there's someone on the roof of the construction site!"
"oh?"
Hearing Sayu's reminder, Fang Zheng hurriedly raised his sniper rifle and aimed at the roof. Soon, he saw a figure standing on the roof, looking down.
Is that a human? Or a monster?
"Sayu, keep an eye on him. I'll handle this first."
Fang Zheng made a decision quickly, and then he shifted his gaze again, aiming at the purple-haired woman again. At this moment, the purple-haired woman was using the thing that looked like a tentacle behind her body to play with the man. It seemed that this thing was indeed different from the shapeshifting monster. The shapeshifting monster was just a simple prey for humans, but this woman seemed to enjoy playing with food very much.
but……
"No matter what kind of monster it is, it should be fine if we just blow its head off."
Generally speaking, the head is the fatal weakness of a living thing, so Fang Zheng aimed at the purple-haired woman's head, then moved his finger slightly and pulled the trigger.
"Bang!!"
As the gunshot rang out, the next moment the purple-haired woman's head exploded, and the huge impact force directly flipped her skull over, blowing the part above the nose of the purple-haired woman into pieces. Then the purple-haired woman trembled and fell to the ground.
“Aaaaaaaaaah!!!”
Suddenly, at this moment, a fierce scream rang out, scaring Fang Zheng.
"What the hell?"
"It seems to have come from the person above."
"oh?"
Fang Zheng aimed upwards and found that the figure was indeed twisting its body madly and seemed to be making miserable cries.
I didn’t kill your wife, what’s your name?
Hmm? Maybe it's true?
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng pulled the bolt again and loaded the bullet.
Anyway, let me say hello first.
Fang Zheng always did what he thought. Because the distance was too far, he was not sure whether the man was a human or a monster. But since he was standing so high, and the woman screamed when she was killed, it would be okay to regard him as an enemy. What if I hit the wrong person? I hit the wrong person.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng pulled the trigger again.
"Bang!!!"
Gunshots rang out, and bullets flew out, but the figure did not fall down. Fang Zheng could see that when the bullets were fired, the man seemed to have tentacles similar to the woman's to protect his body. Obviously, unlike the woman, when the gunshots rang out, the man had already discovered that someone was watching them from all sides.
However... Fang Zheng's bullets are not that easy to resist.
"boom!!"
Although the man's tentacles blocked the bullet, the moment it touched the tentacles, the bullet shot by Fang Zheng exploded instantly, and then turned into balls of white flames that scattered and directly ignited the man's body.
That's right, Fang Zheng was not stupid. The other party would be alerted when hearing the gunshot, so Fang Zheng did not use armor-piercing bullets like he did when dealing with the purple-haired girl, but used white phosphorus bullets to prevent the other party from being able to resist his attack. After all, Fang Zheng had seen a lot of monsters that were invulnerable to swords and guns, so just in case, he used his ultimate skill at the first shot.
After all, opening with Jiaotong University is a way of showing friendship.
The figure seemed to have sensed Fang Zheng's passion. He twisted his body and rolled over desperately. Then he turned into a ball of white flame and fell from the top of the tall building, then disappeared into the darkness.
As for whether he is dead or ran away... let Ida and the others deal with the answer to this question.
Fang Zheng retracted his gaze and looked back at the scene. The purple-haired girl fell to the ground after having half of her head blown off, motionless. The boy she attacked also sat there blankly, unable to get up - well, it's not surprising that he would have this reaction after seeing someone being shot in the head at close range.
“Beep, beep, beep—”
At this moment, sirens sounded. Fang Zheng watched as a series of police cars and explosion-proof vehicles drove in quickly and blocked the construction site. Then a group of fully armed soldiers and police got out of the cars and began to clean up the aftermath.
"Okay, let's retreat."
After seeing Detective Ida in his windbreaker, Fang Zheng was sure that the matter was over, so he put away his gun and gave orders.
Afterwards, he quickly evacuated the area with Sayu.
After that, Fang Zheng returned home and had a good sleep, but early the next morning, he was woken up by the ringing of the phone.
"Wow, you did a great job."
Ida's voice on the phone sounded quite excited.
"I didn't expect to achieve results so quickly..."
"If you know I'm doing a good job, don't call me at a time like this. I haven't gotten enough sleep yet."
Fang Zheng replied unhappily.
"Sorry, I was so excited..."
On the phone, Ida was also excited and the other party was talking about what happened afterwards. After obtaining the body of the woman, the Supernatural Countermeasures Headquarters began to perform an autopsy analysis on it overnight and finally determined that this woman was indeed completely different from Monster No. 01.
"According to the conclusion drawn from the anatomical analysis, that woman, like the Type 01 monster, survives by eating humans, and the structure of their bodies is somewhat strange. I'm not a doctor or a scientist, so I don't understand their report, but in short, the cellular genetic structure of the Type 02 monster seems to be different from that of humans..."
"That's not important, right? What's important is whether you can find a way to identify them."
Parasitic monsters can be identified by scanning the internal organs of the body, but what about this kind of monster?
"No conclusion has been reached yet, except that their internal structure is almost identical to that of humans. The difference can only be discovered through blood analysis. By the way, they are still complaining that you blew up that woman's head, preventing them from getting a complete body."
"It's none of my business. If you want a complete body, go get it yourself if they can beat them."
Fang Zheng scoffed at this, which was why he ultimately chose to cooperate rather than work in a government department, because there would always be some seemingly brainless orders issued from above. Things like capturing man-eating monsters alive were basically orders given by those idiots on the spur of the moment. Anyway, they were not the ones fighting the monsters on the front lines, so they only cared about the results.
So Fang Zhengning can cooperate with the government as an independent third party. I can do whatever I want, whether you like it or not. If you want to cooperate, then cooperate, if you don’t want to cooperate, then forget it. Why should I take risks for you idiots?
There's nothing wrong with my brain, right?
"By the way, regarding the second person you reported, we searched the surrounding area and did not find any body."
"Maybe he ran away."
Fang Zheng was not surprised that the other party escaped death. After all, it was a monster. Even if it was set on fire by white phosphorus, it could still escape as long as it had a way. However, whether it could have a good life in the future was another matter.
"According to the information we got from the victim, the woman's name is Kamishiro Rize, and she is a frequent customer of the Antique Coffee Shop. It was there that the victim took a fancy to her and asked her out on a date. We will follow the line of Kamishiro Rize in our investigation, and perhaps we can unearth the traces of these man-eating monsters."
"Be careful, the other party may have noticed this and made preparations. Moreover, they may also disguise themselves as humans and spread out everywhere - maybe there are these guys around you."
"…This is indeed a problem. Thank you for your advice. I will keep it in mind."
Ida's tone also became serious. Just as Fang Zheng said, these man-eating monsters have probably been in the human world for a long time, and no one is sure whether they will infiltrate the government and the military.
"Oh, there's something else that's very interesting."
At the end of the call, Ida seemed to remember something.
"According to the experts who dissected the woman, the monster's tongue structure appears to be completely different from that of humans."
"is that so?"
"Right. So they seem unable to eat human food. Even if they do eat it, they will find it very unpalatable and want to vomit it out... Hehehe, but human flesh is a delicacy to them. How ironic."
"That just means they are really unlucky."
Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows, but he didn't pay any special attention to this information. If that's the case, then eating humans is actually a physiological need, but it doesn't matter. Fang Zheng won't have any sympathy for them because of this. In fact, there are also perverted ogres among humans, but the problem is that those perverted ogres are just mentally abnormal criminals, and it's hard to say whether there is one in a million people.
But on the other hand, these man-eating monsters are a race...that's another matter.
It seems that I need to make some preparations as well.
After hanging up the phone, Fang Zheng no longer felt sleepy. He sat up, thought for a while, and then came up with a good idea.
Let's do it.
