Binjiang Bank.
A man with three bone spurs growing from his forehead slowly tore open his clothes. His emaciated body was covered in black spots. His chest began to split open as if ribs were bursting forth, forming a cross-shaped bone spur breastplate. Bone spurs grew from his elbows and shoulders, dangling with blood.
Most horrifyingly, his spine writhed like a worm, and one by one, bone spurs emerged from the joints of his spine, piercing his flesh and exposing themselves.
In the bank lobby, two security guards lay in pools of blood, their conditions unknown.
More people conducting business in the bank dared not even scream, prostrating themselves on the ground, afraid to move.
They weren't foolish enough to make any noise that might alert the demon, as that would only hasten their deaths. They could only hope that the Spiritual Management Association would arrive soon to eliminate the demon, or pray that they wouldn't be the ones the demon chose to tear apart later.
The demon's golden eyes scanned everyone lying on the ground as its body turned, searching for its next prey to shred.
Its coccyx resembled a white chain, emitting a grating friction sound as it turned.
"Money... money... you maggots born for money! Since you love money so much, I'll tear you and that filthy money apart together, then knead you into it, making you one with the money!"
The demon extended its long tongue, licking its bared fangs.
One hand, devoid of flesh and blood, with pale bones dangling with blood, slowly raised, emitting a crisp cracking sound.
Immediately after,
Everyone simultaneously looked up, their gazes shifting upward in unison.
Because the demon slowly floated up.
*Crack!*
*Crack crack crack!*
The demon folded in mid-air, twisting. Its right arm and left leg tied into a knot, and its head burrowed into that knot.
Everyone's scalps tingled. The timid ones no longer dared to watch, while the less timid had already fainted from fear.
*Thump... thump... thump...*
Susan walked in from the door. She first surveyed the scene in the bank lobby, frowned upon seeing the two security guards lying in pools of blood, took the ladies' cigarette from her red lips, and waved her hand. The "human art" in the air flew out of the bank and crashed onto the road with a bang.
Susan, with Tao Xue, walked to the side of the two injured security guards, squatted down to check their injuries.
"A Liang, has the ambulance arrived?"
"It's on its way, estimated to arrive in three minutes."
Susan looked at the security guards' abdomens and chests pierced by the demon's bone spurs, and fell into a dilemma. She was a dual ability user and had no spiritual power to heal others.
At this moment,
Exclamations arose from outside the bank, followed by a roar.
Tao Xue ran to the bank entrance and exclaimed, "Captain, the demon isn't dead! It attached itself to a large truck and escaped!"
"Not dead?"
Susan was taken aback. It was the first time someone had survived her attack. Her figure flickered as she moved onto the street.
On the street, a heavy truck roared, smashing through vehicles in its path, speeding down the road. Simultaneously, the deep green heavy truck began to twist and deform.
The demon inside the cabin began to melt, red and black blood flowing from its eye sockets, nose, and ears. Its bone spurs pierced into various parts of the cabin.
Steel spikes protruded around the truck, plowing through the road.
Susan took a step forward, about to intervene, when she saw a wobbly off-road vehicle rush out from the intersection in front of the monster truck. It was moving very fast, its body shaking violently, emitting piercing brake sounds intermittently, leaving skid marks on the asphalt.
Most importantly,
That off-road vehicle was about to collide with the monster truck.
"Cap... Captain, isn't that He Li's car?" Tao Xue stammered.
"Did he drink?"
And at this very moment,
The truck and the off-road vehicle collided.
There was no explosion or loud roar as expected; it was eerily quiet, as if time had stopped at that moment.
Because,
The monster truck was split in half from front to back. Then, the split monster truck flew up, rapidly shrinking in the air into two fist-sized steel fists. Immediately after, the two steel spheres shattered as they fell, turning into a pile of scrap iron.

At the same time,
*Screech...*
The wobbly off-road vehicle also stopped at the entrance of Binjiang Bank.
He Li opened the door, got out,
Threw the cigarette butt in his mouth on the ground, and crushed it with his foot.
Looking at Susan and Tao Xue, he asked calmly,
"Where's the demon?"
Tao Xue stared blankly at He Li, then suddenly snapped back to reality and looked at Susan.
Susan pursed her lips and said, "The demon has been dealt with. Now we're waiting for the ambulance to take the injured away."
He Li nodded, "Oh, that's good." Then he patted the car door and asked, "Want to go back? I'll give you a ride."
"No! No need..." Tao Xue quickly waved her hands. After glancing at Susan, she said to He Li, "The captain and I are going shopping. You go back first."
"Alright then, I'll be going."
He Li smiled at the two of them, got into the car, started it, and drove away smoothly.
Tao Xue watched the disappearing off-road vehicle, let out a long sigh, patted her chest, and said with lingering fear, "Captain, you saw it, right? I wasn't lying. He even dared to crash into a heavy truck controlled by a demon. He's crazy."
Susan, however, was lost in thought. The heavy truck, controlled by the demon, was first split open, then compressed into a ball, and finally turned into scrap iron. It was dead.
How did He Li split the heavy truck? Wasn't He Li's manifestation system a halberd? Even if a halberd could split a truck, He Li was driving at the time and hadn't used it.
The split truck was compressed into a ball in mid-air. Was this gravity? Gravity is a downward destructive force that can surround and compress objects?
This was somewhat similar to the footage Bai Fei had transmitted earlier, where He Li had forcefully pulled out a part of the demon in the villa and compressed it into a ball, then sliced it, and a part of the blood demon died just like that.
It was very similar to today's demon.
Was this really gravity?
Susan pursed her lips and said, "We're not going shopping today."
Tao Xue asked confusedly, "Then what are we doing?"
Susan looked at Tao Xue and said, "Find a physics teacher and study physics."
"Ah???"
...
"Too impulsive! Can you two do things more discreetly! If I hadn't acted cool, what would have happened today? The captain is already suspicious."
"Chen Sui, do you think splitting that truck with one strike was cool?"
"You're ostentatious!"
"Jin Fang, do you think kneading that truck into a ball and stabbing it twice to shatter it is impressive?"
"You're superficial!"
Jin Fang said, "Doesn't she already know you're an Awakened?"
He Li directly started scolding, "Am I talking about that? I'm talking about abilities! I'm a dual ability user, have you ever heard of a dual ability user with seven or eight abilities?"
Jin Fang fell silent. Chen Sui still maintained his deadpan expression, as if he would continue no matter what was said.
He Li sighed and said earnestly, "Be low-key. You can't walk around the street carrying money just because you have it. You know, enjoying it secretly is the real pleasure."
Just then, Yan Ping, sitting in the passenger seat, pointed to the road ahead and said, "Stop scolding, pull over quickly. There's a dog ahead."
"Huh?"
"Holy crap!"
*Screech...*
