A growing Extraordinary Monster, created by: Tang Qi himself.
Tang Qi, when he cruelly murdered someone in the past, apparently never thought he would create a monster.
And now, the monster is biting back at Tang Qi.
At this moment, he still didn't understand that the peering gaze he had felt underneath Sally's house was very likely this Dog-faced Man, except that at the time it was probably busy devouring corpses, and the drug addict's Resentful Soul had just moved into the canine body.
Since it's a monster born of resentment and venom, it will not stop until it has killed its enemy.
And its first enemy was Tang Qi.
The second was Sally.
It can be imagined that after dealing with Tang Qi, its next step would be to go after Sally.
Tang Qi's actions now were to preserve his own life first.
"The diary says that the Holy Thorn Campus possesses the power to restrain evil. Although I haven't found the source of that power, it should be enough to deal with a just-born Extraordinary Monster."
With this thought in mind, Tang Qi's figure dashed into the campus like the wind.
He didn't use the main entrance but, ignoring the pain in his foot, climbed over the mottled brick wall with agile and rapid movements, completely unlike an ordinary high school student.
However, with just a "bang" heard behind him, Tang Qi knew the Monster Dog had caught up.
Despite the danger, Tang Qi still turned his head for a quick glance.
Crack!
Tang Qi saw the monster instantly flip over the fence and land. The stray dog had long lost its original appearance, its muscles swollen and twisted, even forming large meat tumors, and to make matters worse, it had a human face.
Saliva was dripping everywhere, and it was ugly and terrifyingly bizarre to a certain extent.
But the moment Tang Qi saw it, his eyes lit up; he realized the monster's speed had slowed.
Not just the speed, the frenzy, the bloodthirsty scent coming from the monster's body had also suddenly diminished considerably.
"It's effective."
Tang Qi said joyfully, his feet still moving non-stop, agile like a monkey, using the various obstacles on both sides of the shaded path to evade the monster's sharp claws and Blood Bowl.
But due to his injury, Tang Qi's speed was still not as fast as the monster's, and the distance between them was closing.
What was even more frustrating for Tang Qi was that the route he had chosen led through the most secluded area of the campus, where there wasn't a shadow to be seen, apart from him and the monster.
Tang Qi exhausted all his strength to escape deeper into the campus, but physical stamina is inevitably limited, and his speed was getting slower and slower.
On the contrary, the monster chasing behind him had no issue with exhaustion.
The distance between them closed once again, and Tang Qi could even hear the foul breath from behind his neck.
"No good, if this continues, I'll die."
"What do I do? What should I do?"
A flash of inspiration suddenly sparkled through Tang Qi's mind and was immediately seized by him.
His gaze fell directly on the box he was clutching in his arms.
The most unexpected and delightful find of his journey, even as he fled for his life, was still tightly held.
The once vague thoughts in the gun store became incredibly real at this moment.
His body was still exhausted to the extreme at this moment, the agility and speed brought by the Chaga Fighting Technique came at the cost of draining all his stamina, his body already suffused with a red color, and his clothes were soaked through with sweat.
Even then, he was unable to put even the slightest distance between himself and the Monster pursuing him from behind.
Behind his head, Tang Qi could even feel the close-at-hand fangs.
In a few more seconds, maybe just one, Tang Qi would be caught by the Monster, and then in one bite, his head would be severed from his neck.
The next day, Holy Thorn Campus would have an explosive piece of news, a freshman killed by stray dogs, even the body completely consumed.
"No, I will not let such a thing happen."
"I have been lucky enough to receive a new life, how could I possibly die to the jaws of a Monster?"
With an angry roar in his heart, Tang Qi's body trembled, yet at that moment, there was a warm current flowing through his mind, calming all the Abnormal Movements in Tang Qi's body, as if he had entered a wonderful State, able to perfectly control his own body.
He quickly opened the box, his hands swiftly stuffing one Brass Bullet after another into the exaggerated "Blood Python One."
Then, clinging to the gun in one hand, his other hand went straight to his mouth, his teeth fiercely biting down, almost tearing off a small piece of flesh from his index finger, and blood gushed forth immediately.
Not wasting a single drop of blood, Tang Qi smeared all the spurting blood onto the Blood Python One held in his other hand.
Next, a bizarre scene occurred.
The dark gun body was soaked in blood, a strange beauty was born, within the blood smeared on the gun body, specks of Golden Light emerged, then connected into golden threads, eventually enveloping the entire gun body.
As the Mist of golden light wrapped around the Blood Python One, Tang Qi clearly saw the special interface in his vision slowly change.
But at this time, Tang Qi didn't have the time to closely examine the detailed changes, he only felt a special sensation in his heart.
The gun in his hands, at this moment, seemed to have its own life, held by his hands, a strong impulse turned into a Tide, starting to assault and batter Tang Qi's Mind.
Tang Qi's figure suddenly stopped.
Turning back, the gaping maw of the Monster, emitting a foul stench, appeared.
Right in front of him, if Tang Qi did nothing, the next moment would see his head completely swallowed by the Monster's mouth, followed by a crunch, and everything would be over.
In fact, Tang Qi couldn't do much; once he stopped, he had no opportunity to dodge.
So, he made an impossibly Mad move.
He proactively stuck out an arm, horizontally stuffing it into the Monster's mouth, "crunch," Tang Qi heard the sound of fangs embedding into his flesh, about to reach the bone.
"Too bad, you won't have that chance."
The whisper hadn't truly left his mouth, the cold barrel of the gun was already pressed against the side of the Monster's head.
"Bang"
"Bang Bang Bang"
The succession of gunshots, like the roar of some Monster, echoed through the empty, remote corner.
Tang Qi instinctively emptied all six bullets from the handgun, continuing to fire even when the "click click" of the empty chamber sounded, without stopping.
Completely unaware, at the moment he fired the gun, the Brass Bullets turned into blinding Golden Light, drilling into the head of the Monster.
The Monster, which previously possessed endless strength, suddenly seemed to have been hit by a train, its head lurching to one side, body quivering, attempting to let out a wail, yet its mouth was stuffed tightly by Tang Qi's arm.
Then came the second, third, fourth... after the last bullet was fired, the piercing Golden Light reached its climax, and the Monster's head, like a watermelon struck by a heavy blow, "boom," burst apart in Tang Qi's embrace.
After losing support, Tang Qi still instinctively continued to pull the trigger, until after a few clicks, he then collapsed to the ground, exhausted.
His chest and abdomen heaved violently, like bellows suddenly torn open.
