Chapter 14: Terror Descends!
Ding!
The elevator announced its arrival.
At this point, only the middle-aged man remained in the elevator.
He elegantly straightened his tie, a dangerous curve appearing at the corner of his strong lips. As he watched the elevator doors slowly open, a deep, dark aura flashed in his eyes.
"Don't worry, I will keep my promise to you."
Seemingly talking to himself, yet also as if speaking to someone else, the middle-aged man placed his hand on his chest and began to speak.
"I won't hurt your child, and I'll kill those who persecute you—isn't that what you wanted anyway?"
Feeling the restlessness within his body, the middle-aged man sneered and forcefully suppressed it.
"From the moment you gave yourself away, you should have known what was going to happen to you. If you keep making a scene, I'll send your child to keep you company."
After he finished speaking, the strange restlessness slowly dissipated. Seeing this, the middle-aged man's smile widened, and he strode out of the elevator.
Following the route he remembered, the middle-aged man quickly found the way to the boardroom.
Just as he was about to move forward.
Snapped!
A loud crash, as if a door had been violently pushed open, came from not far away.
Immediately following was a girl's rapid breathing.
The middle-aged man turned around and saw a girl wearing a white top and a light blue skirt leaning against the door, breathing heavily.
"Finally caught up with XX. I'm exhausted."
The unfamiliar girl's mouth was full of random words, and her clothes were even stranger, especially in this office building full of people in suits and ties.
But the middle-aged man's expression turned ugly the moment he saw the girl.
"Magical girl?!"
The man's eyes were fixed on the girl not far away, and his facial features involuntarily became distorted, as if he had seen some mortal enemy.
However, he quickly suppressed those chaotic emotions, and the smile on his face gradually turned ferocious.
"Hehehe, I didn't expect you to be so fast, but you've made a big mistake, you know that?"
"Did I kill your father?" Qin Nan retorted.
The middle-aged man was speechless after she retorted.
His face immediately darkened, and he spoke angrily and tremblingly.
"You can't stop me now. I admit you're fast, but you're still too late."
"When did you heretics and demons become able to swagger out in broad daylight?" Qin Nan frowned slightly, his body already ready for battle.
Having served as a magical girl for two years, her understanding of the Outer Path Demons was limited to the impression that they were nocturnal.
Because they were born in the other world, which is said to be a desolate and lonely place, there is no life force except for heretics and demons. Only endless death fills the entire dimension. It is precisely because of this that these monsters are not used to the warm sunlight.
Only when darkness falls do they gather their strength to pry open the door between the underworld and the real world, struggling to crawl from the land of death into the real world.
Qin Nan had seen humans possessed by heretical demons before, but those beings were still afraid of sunlight. They dared not be exposed to sunlight and would only hide in the darkness, emerging to harm people after sunset.
This was the first time she had ever seen someone so unafraid of light.
Although Qin Nan didn't know why this monster possessed the ability to walk in sunlight, he knew that if he couldn't find a way to kill it, everything would be exposed.
"Don't compare me to those trashy scum. Only the lowest-ranking nocturnal heretics fear sunlight. But after this human offered up his body, with this shell, the sunlight cannot harm me in the slightest!"
The man in the middle spread his arms, his face contorted with madness, as if mocking the girl's youth and ignorance.
Qin Nan sneered. "Little Grey is right, you really do answer every question."
Perhaps sensing the sarcastic tone in the woman's words, or perhaps provoked by her expression, the middle-aged man's eyes flashed with a scarlet light, while thick black smoke emanated from his body.
Within the smoke, the middle-aged man's body began to twist rapidly, transforming into a non-human form at a visible speed, quickly losing its human outline.
Seeing this, Qin Nan's expression also became serious.
She wasn't worried about being unable to defeat the heretical demon in front of her, but rather that this place was located on the upper floors of the building, and there were tens of thousands of ordinary people inside. If she were to fight openly here, she would probably be on the news that night.
"If you want to kill someone, I don't mind finding a quiet place for us to fight."
"Hehehe. You're not my target, magical girl. After I've killed the ones I should kill, I'll have some fun with you."
The latest novel is first published here!
A cold, eerie voice rang out, and at the same time, the middle-aged man in the black mist transformed into a strange, burly shadow.
As the black smoke dissipated, a gigantic creature with a ferocious appearance was revealed. Its hands had transformed into two large pincers, and two sharp tentacles sprouted from its head.
The monster's entire body was covered in green stripes, and there was a hideous ghost face on its hard shell, making it look like a strange crab.
"Are you really prepared to go on a killing spree here?" Qin Nan made a grabbing motion in the air, and a crystal dagger instantly appeared in her hand.
The strange man grinned sinisterly, his two large pincers swaying and making a piercing snapping sound.
"Hmph, only one person will die here today."
"And that person is you!"
Without saying a word, Qin Nan let out a shout and pounced on the strange man.
In the blink of an eye, the two figures closed the distance between them. Just as they were about to make contact, a pair of large hands suddenly emerged from the metallic reflection of the elevator door.
Time seemed to slow down at this moment!
Qin Nan and the strange man's fierce expressions froze at this moment. They were both taken aback at first, and then their pupils shrank in unison, their expressions gradually replaced by fear.
But it was too late to react. The two could only watch helplessly as the unfamiliar large hand emerged from the metal mirror of the elevator door and grabbed their arms, which were about to collide, without any hindrance.
"No--!!"
The strange man opened his mouth wide, as if he wanted to say something.
But an overwhelming sense of oppression had already descended, and a terrifying force came from their arms, making it impossible for them to even struggle. A tremendous pull dragged them directly into the mirror.
And the strange man's voice stopped abruptly at that moment.
The entire corridor fell silent once more.
