Huan Meng Lie Ren

Chapter 63 Black Light Mantis

"Let's do a test first." Wen Wen pulled over a monster prop nearby, dug out its eyeballs, and threw them at the pulsating heart.

Before the eyeballs could even touch the heart, they were blocked by a red light, and then, the plastic eyeballs disintegrated!

"As expected, this thing isn't completely defenseless. Trying to hook this heart out with a stick is basically impossible."

Then he looked at his rocket launcher and shook his head again.

"I only have two rockets left, and they might not be enough to kill these insects. Plus, this is underground. If I blow this place up, I'll be trapped underground with all these poisonous insects..."

"Acid... acid can't clear such a large area of poisonous insects. Ghost Qin Shuang's freezing ability can't neutralize all the poisons, and it takes time... this is quite tricky,"

Wen Wen closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and then opened them, speaking sternly, "Come out, I know you're here."

A spectral figure emerged from among the poisonous creatures, looking at Wen Wen expressionlessly.

"I don't want to provoke you. Whatever you do is none of my business." A sinister voice emanated from the spectral figure; it was a ghost.

It had been in the haunted house all along and had witnessed Wen Wen brutally slaughter the two monsters, holding some fear towards him.

"Hmm... as expected, ghosts can pass through these poisonous insects safely. Alright, you can go. Leave this underground haunted house, and don't let me see you again."

Wen Wen waved his hand, intending to dismiss the ghost. The ghost had originally been hidden within the opposite wall. By calling it out, he could determine whether these poisonous creatures affected ghosts.

"I will not leave this haunted house. This haunted house is the culmination of my parents' hard work, and I want to see it flourish. But the amusement park's board of directors wants to tear it down, I..."

"Let's stop the story here. You died, and by staying here and preventing others from entering your haunted house, you caused its abandonment, right?" Wen Wen interrupted the ghost, who was about to launch into a long monologue.

"You are the earthbound spirit here, unable to leave this haunted house. Since that's the case, I'll help you leave."

Wen Wen tapped a few times on the Disaster Gauntlet, and his body also became spectral. A pair of blue and white striped underwear, along with a pile of miscellaneous weapons and equipment, fell to the ground.

At this moment, he had transformed into a ghost state.

"Sorry, I can't listen to your tragic tale because this guy can't wait any longer."

In his ghostly state, the Disaster Gauntlet seemed to be entwined with tangible black energy, causing the ghost to tremble.

Wen Wen rushed to the ghost's side and struck him with the Disaster Gauntlet. Wen Wen knew the Disaster Gauntlet could affect ghosts, so this move should be very effective against them.

The ghost also tried to resist, but even as fellow ghosts, their combat experience differed vastly. The ghost was directly punched in the chest by Wen Wen.

Originally, Wen Wen intended to subdue the ghost and absorb it into the Disaster Gauntlet. Although he already had one ghost, he wouldn't mind having more.

However, he hadn't anticipated that the Disaster Gauntlet's state was somewhat unusual today. Upon contact with this ghost, it unleashed an incredibly powerful suction force!

This suction force wasn't meant to pull the ghost into the Disaster Containment Facility; rather, it was directly shredding the ghost into energy fragments and absorbing them into the gauntlet!

After absorbing, the Disaster Gauntlet showed no signs of satisfaction, its yearning directed towards the pulsating heart.

"Old man, you died without even reporting your name, truly pathetic."

Wen Wen shook his head helplessly and walked towards the pulsating, heart-shaped energy.

The poisonous insects let out hoarse cries. They could sense Wen Wen approaching, but they couldn't touch him in his ghostly state. These poisonous insects, though dangerous, were merely ordinary animals.

The closer Wen Wen got to the heart-like energy mass, the harder it became for him to control his emotions, so he had to turn his head as much as possible, avoiding looking at the energy mass composed of countless impurities.

...

A giant green eyeball floated beside the Ferris wheel, red, nerve-like tendrils wriggling around the eye, occasionally lashing out like whips to block incoming attacks and provide protection for the eye.

"I truly underestimated you. I didn't expect you to be an Assimilation-level esper as well, and your assimilated subject is far more disgusting than mine."

Mr. L stood on the Ferris wheel, his eyes bulging grotesquely, a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

He was at a disadvantage in his fight with Lin Zheyuan. His usual combat method involved using his eyes to unleash his innate deterrent ability, paralyzing his opponents.

However, this move was completely ineffective against Lin Zheyuan, who was already a giant eyeball. It was considered fortunate that he wasn't affected by the special effects of Lin Zheyuan's eyes.

"That Ferris wheel should be the core of the summoning ritual. As long as it's destroyed, everything will end." Su Dan Novel Network

Lin Zheyuan did not respond to Mr. L's words. Compared to the entity about to be summoned, Mr. L, a member of the Blood of Blasphemy, was insignificant.

A cyan light shot out from the eyeball, striking the massive steel structure supporting the Ferris wheel. Under the illumination of this light, the steel pillars of the Ferris wheel snapped!

With the power of this move, it would only take a few more seconds to completely destroy the giant Ferris wheel.

Mr. L's expression turned grim. He couldn't stand by and watch Lin Zheyuan destroy his creation. Gritting his teeth, the flesh and blood all over his body began to twist, and a sinister voice emanated from the distorted mass of flesh.

"You are fighting me, but your target is not me. Is that right?"

After the flesh stopped twisting, Mr. L's physique had increased several times. His skin turned pitch black, his soft abdomen was several meters long, his two eyes were as large as basketballs, and a pair of huge, gleaming scythe-arms were crossed in front of his chest.

He had transformed into a pure black, giant praying mantis several meters long!

This was Mr. L's assimilated state: the Black Light Mantis!

But Lin Zheyuan remained indifferent to Mr. L, strenuously accumulating energy to destroy the giant Ferris wheel. The cyan light was an extremely powerful attack and couldn't be released continuously.

"So I said, don't ignore me!"

Mr. L's wings began to flap, and then his entire massive body shot skyward at an unbelievable speed. In mere moments, he was in front of Lin Zheyuan.

The red tendrils behind the eyeball attempted to push Mr. L away, but they were easily severed by the scythe-arms. The giant mantis's bizarre mouthparts opened, about to strike Lin Zheyuan's true body.

Lin Zheyuan sighed softly. He wasn't a combat-type esper to begin with, and his previous fight with the giant centipede had depleted a lot of his energy.

Before, he could gain a slight advantage by bullying Mr. L in his normal state while in his assimilated state. But now that both had transformed into their assimilated states, even if he shifted his target to the Ferris wheel, he couldn't match Mr. L.

Suddenly, a wide, white sword energy flew over with great momentum. Mr. L quickly used his mantis scythes to block the energy's path, but his entire body was sent flying by the immense force!

Gu Panxi walked over step by step, one of her wings bleeding profusely behind her, making her look somewhat disheveled. However, the object she held in her hand gave her a commanding presence.

It was a head with four eyes, the head of a lost mother!
