As if he didn't feel any pain at all, the bearded man stabbed his heart with the knife at a very fast speed, again and again. The gushing blood was like a tomato with its aorta cut after a 50-cent special effect.
Just by judging from the first blow, Shao Qi concluded that the person was dead. He became more and more certain that it was a monster, and it was more likely a possessed monster.
However, he still did not understand the nature of this monster and did not know what method would be appropriate to destroy it.
Standing one meter in front of the bearded man and watching his performance, Shao Qi raised his hand and was about to try the most traditional priest's sacred power of glory. However, he had just gathered a trace of power that did not belong to this world when a heavy and oppressive atmosphere, full of warning, swept over him.
Conclusion: No.
In order to prevent himself from being struck by lightning, Shao Qi decisively gave up using special methods that were not from this world, and instead stared intently at the bearded man who was still performing hard.
Most possessed monsters have this characteristic: when the host dies, the original form will be exposed.
But before Shao Qi could see the monster's true form, he heard noisy footsteps in the distance. He turned his head slightly and saw the patrol team that came looking for him.
The bearded man who stabbed the knife screamed miserably like the howling of ghosts and wolves. The noise was so loud that the patrolmen were naturally attracted.
Having also noticed the movement, the bearded man thrust the dagger into his chest and suddenly pounced towards Shao Qi.
Shao Qi had long seen through his purpose and did not give him any chance to get close. He raised his leg and kicked the man two meters away.
After spending two seconds estimating the time it would take for him to enter the patrol team's sight, Shao Qi took action and took out a big knife from the space.
The bearded man who had been kicked away got up and lunged at him again. Shao Qi dodged sideways, then kicked him in the knee, knocking him down. Then he decisively raised his knife and struck him down...
As the bearded man's head and body were separated, Shao Qi stared carefully at the head and the surrounding area of the corpse without missing a single spot. But before he could find the monster, the headless body suddenly reached out and grabbed his ankle.
This is going to fight him to the death!
Frowning, Shao Qi slashed down again with his knife, neatly chopping off the hand, then stepped back swiftly, and kicked hard with his calf, kicking off the hand that was holding his ankle.
Shao Qi suddenly came to a conclusion: after the head and body were separated, the monster could only control the part of its body where it was.
So, where will it be?
Staring at the body that was still trying to entangle him, he still couldn't find the monster. After dodging again, Shao Qi simply played a trick again and found an interstellar version of a high-efficiency incendiary bomb from the space.
He quickly stepped back, creating some distance between himself and the headless torso, ensuring that the approaching patrol officers could not see him. Shao Qi threw the incendiary bomb accurately onto the torso. Instantly, with a bang, a ball of blazing flames spread like wildfire, burning the entire torso in a few seconds...
"What's going on?"
"Who is it?"
“Who’s there!”
"Don't move!"
…
The patrol officers who were approaching this side shouted harshly.
He kicked his head and severed hand towards the burning flames, made sure his entire beard was stained with flames, quickly cleaned up the traces he had left behind, and left the scene.
Of course, the man did not go far away, but instead kept a distance that ordinary people could not find him, and found a shelter, hiding in the darkness that the firelight could not illuminate.
Shao Qi, who was hiding in the dark, frowned deeply. It would be difficult to deal with monsters without physical entities.
The incendiary bombs produced by the interstellar world are definitely good stuff. In just two minutes, the torso was almost burned to ashes.
Seeing the torso carbonizing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, Shao Qi's eyes were filled with more doubt and confusion.
The flickering flames did not appear, but there were no zombies or monsters.
Were they burned to death together?
Intuitively, Shao Qi thought that the monster could not be dealt with so easily.
If it's a non-physical monster... then it's a bit of a headache.
I don't know what this world means, will there be 'superpowers' or...
Thinking of Lin Xiaoman who was still in the mirror, Shao Qi suddenly had an idea. Could it be that there is a magic-sealing device?
Could it be that the mirror is the magic seal?
Shao Qi has also experienced a world where there are no special abilities and monsters can be killed solely by relying on magic-sealing devices.
Still staring at the human-shaped ball of fire, Shao Qi felt more and more that this was a magic-sealing device.
However, just knowing about the Demon Sealing Device is not enough, you also need a method on how to use it.
While he was thinking, the patrol officers arrived at the scene.
"What's going on here?"
"Looks like a person?"
"No way? Maybe it's just a weird shape?"
"Then tell me, who started the fire?"
"this……"
"Someone was clearly shouting for help here just now."
"Put out the fire first?"
"No, don't move, everyone, stay alert, the monster might be nearby!"
…
The patrol officers who arrived at the scene one after another surrounded the fire that was already burning out, talking to each other. Soon, amid their speculation, the fire gradually went out, leaving only a pile of black substance like carbon ash.
Two knights walked up, each using a broadsword to scrape at the still warm carbon ash, then shook their heads at the others.
"Nothing."
"Not sure who it is."
…
"Keep your distance, don't get separated, search!"
Several patrolmen searched the area, but finding Shao Qi was of course impossible. Without finding anything, they returned to the village holding torches.
After they left, Shao Qi walked out of the darkness and returned to the scene. The wind was strong at night, and the charcoal ash that had been in a certain shape before had now been blown into a scattered mass.
After staying at the scene for a minute, the monster completely disappeared and Shao Qi still got nothing, so he went back.
Returning to the clock tower once again, Shao Qi went up the stairs to the second floor. The small wooden door on the second floor was open. Long Jiujiu was holding a torch and standing in front of the large bronze mirror in the room.
Long Jiujiu heard the noise and turned around to look. After seeing that it was Shao Qi, he breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest, saying, "I was scared to death. I thought it was the patrol. Erica is missing, and I can't think of an explanation."
"If anyone asks tonight, you and I have been in the clock tower all the time." In order to avoid trouble, Shao Qi made an instruction and asked Long Jiujiu to give false testimony for him.
"Any discovery?" Long Jiujiu's eyes lit up.
"Some..." Shao Qi nodded and briefly described what had just happened...
