Walking along the edge of the corridor, Nova hugged her gun tightly and pulled her neck in. "Just now… was that someone screaming? Did someone die again?"
Yujin raised his hand and tapped his Reincarnation Watch. "According to the hints, eleven crew members have died so far, including plot characters."
Under the dim light, he activated his Sharingan and scanned the surroundings. "We're not far from where it happened. Let's go take a look."
Nova was nervous. She glanced at the calm Yujin. "How are you so composed?"
"Composed? Maybe," he replied.
Yujin thought to himself that Nova really had come at a good time.
If she had survived the first four horror films of the Breeding Squad, experiencing the inability to move freely, not being able to see or hear clearly, and constantly facing situations where difficulty had to be managed while being left for monsters by the Breeding Squad, she probably wouldn't even flinch now.
Xenomorphs?
They're nothing compared to being thrown in front of Kayako.
As they walked, their path was blocked by a fork in the corridor.
The air here was even colder and damper. Every breath felt like moisture condensing in their lungs.
Yujin stopped. His Sharingan glimmered faintly in the darkness. Those eyes could see through shadows, revealing what ordinary people could not.
"We'll split up here," Yujin said, his voice calm but carrying an unarguable decisiveness.
Nova turned to him, confusion and unease mingling in her eyes. "Why split up? Wouldn't it be safer to stay together?"
Yujin's gaze moved between the two corridors before settling on the right one.
Faint traces of human movement were visible there. Chaotic footprints and discarded items suggested someone had fled in a hurry not long ago.
"I have something very important I need to handle," he said.
Nova bit her lip. She knew Yujin had his reasons behind his decisions, even if she didn't fully understand them.
"Then be careful." She finally relented, gripping the gun in her hands, and walked toward the passage on the left that led outside.
Yujin didn't hesitate. He headed straight for the distance.
For Yujin, revenge came first.
Even if it meant forming the Reincarnation Squad, only those with exceptional qualities deserved to be part of it.
Someone who couldn't survive alone in a horror scenario?
Such a person was better off freed sooner rather than later.
"Da da da."
Yujin's steps were extremely light.
His body pressed close against the damp cave walls. Every step he took was careful, avoiding any sound that could draw attention.
His heartbeat raced in his chest, but his breathing remained calm. This was a survival instinct honed through life-or-death battles with the artificial human Meng Yao.
As Yujin neared the end of the passage, a low, beast-like growl reached his ears!
The sound was wild and pained, sending his nerves on high alert.
Yujin immediately focused chakra into his eyes. His Sharingan activated in an instant, the tomoe spinning, casting a faint red glow.
Through the Sharingan, everything became extraordinarily clear. He saw Er Niu!
That damned guy was lying on the ground in his werewolf form, using a medical spray brought from the Lord God Space!
Er Niu's chest heaved violently as he gasped for air, clearly exhausted from a fierce battle.
What shocked Yujin even more was that not far from Er Niu, two Xenomorphs were lying on the ground as well.
Their bodies had already started to decay from their own blood. They lay there, unable to move, life slowly draining from them.
The Xenomorph's shell was covered in scars from the corrosive acid of its blood, giving off a pungent, stinging smell.
Yujin was grateful he hadn't rashly rushed in the first time Er Niu transformed into a werewolf.
Counting from the very first Xenomorph, Er Niu had somehow managed to take down three of them using only his own strength.
The nightmares that would plague movie heroes seemed almost laughable in front of Er Niu.
"Fighting two Xenomorphs at the same time… and he even has strong healing abilities."
Yujin looked at the wounds on the two Xenomorphs and realized that Er Niu also possessed incredibly sharp claws, as lethal as metal.
Facing such opponents, he didn't move forward. Instead, he formed hand seals.
Snake → Ram → Monkey → Boar → Horse → Tiger
With Yujin's hand seals and low incantations, a surge of powerful chakra rapidly gathered inside him and then erupted violently from his mouth, forming a massive fireball.
The fireball streaked through the air like a blazing comet, heading straight for Er Niu.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
The fireball moved with incredible speed and blistering heat, warping the air around it.
Er Niu, as a werewolf, had extraordinarily sharp senses and immediately sensed the sudden threat.
His eyes widened instantly, revealing a beast-like terror.
"Damn it! Again!?"
He lifted his legs to flee.
But no matter how fast he was, it wasn't enough to outrun the fireball.
The Great Fireball Technique struck Er Niu directly, engulfing his entire body in raging flames.
The fire spread over him in an instant, his fur and clothes igniting, crackling and popping under the intense heat.
Er Niu let out a painful howl, filled with agony and fear.
The flames blackened his skin as his muscles contracted from the heat, and some areas had already begun to char.
The werewolf's body twitched violently in the flames.
His limbs struggled unconsciously in pain, but the more he struggled, the tighter the fire wrapped around him.
When the flames finally died down, Erniu's body was revealed.
His appearance was completely unrecognizable.
His once strong body was now little more than charred remnants, his limbs twisted, his skin blackened, and a pungent burnt smell hung in the air.
The two Xenomorph creatures, caught in Yujin's fireball follow-up, let out piercing screams before finally disintegrating into two notification sounds.
[Killed two Xenomorphs, gained 1,000 reward points]
The moment he heard the notification, Yujin moved.
He wasn't after the reward points.
What he wanted was Erniu's life.
A sharp dagger had appeared in Yujin's hand at some point, its blade gleaming coldly in the dim light.
Without a hint of hesitation, he charged at the heavily injured werewolf, Erniu.
Though most of Erniu's body had been carbonized, he was still capable of movement, and his strength remained astonishing.
Startled by Yujin's sudden charge, Erniu froze.
He had just endured the cleansing flames and hadn't had a chance to react.
Who was this sudden attacker?
A flicker of panic crossed his eyes but was quickly replaced by ferocity.
The two clashed swiftly.
Yujin's dagger danced with each strike carrying deadly precision, while Erniu relied on his immense strength and his still-present werewolf instincts to counterattack.
Their battle was fierce and brutal.
Every clash tore at flesh and drew out groans of pain.
Of course, the one in pain was Erniu.
No matter how he swung his claws, he couldn't even graze Yujin.
Yujin moved like a cat with lightning-fast reflexes, toying with the weakened serpent before him.
"Damn it!" Erniu panted, while Yujin didn't rush to finish him off, seemingly enjoying the cruelty of the hunt.
In a single instant, Erniu caught sight of Yujin's face, and the Sharingan flashing in his eyes!
"You! You… you're a veteran too!"
Even in his deathly panic, Erniu couldn't understand where this kid had come from.
He became agitated, his mind filled with dread.
'Could it be… a squad battle scenario the Lord God hadn't announced?'
'Damn the Lord God!'
Suddenly, Erniu's eyes blazed with ferocity.
He roared, "I'm waiting for my energy to recover! What are you waiting for?!"
Before he could finish, he lunged at Yujin, opening his gaping maw, intending to use his werewolf bite skill to regain health and turn the tide of battle.
In Erniu's eyes, he could already see the hope of victory, a smug smile even appearing on his face.
This blood-draining bite skill had cost him the reward points from two entire horror films to obtain—a true divine ability.
Bite to heal!
Who would have thought?
However, just as he was about to sink his teeth into Yujin, something unexpected happened.
"Bang!"
Erniu's sharp teeth sank into a piece of moss-covered wood!
His fangs pierced through the wood, producing a dull sound, and they were stuck.
His expression froze instantly. The pride in his eyes was replaced by shock and disbelief.
"Puchi!"
A dagger pierced precisely into the back of Erniu's head.
Erniu's body convulsed in excruciating pain. His claws flailed wildly, trying to pull out the dagger lodged deep in his brain, but each attempt only intensified the agony.
Blood poured from the back of his head, flowing down his neck and staining his fur red.
His struggles gradually weakened, and finally, all signs of life vanished from his body. In unbearable pain, he stopped breathing.
Yujin stood silently to the side, expressionless, watching Erniu's life slip away.
When Erniu's body finally stopped moving, the Lord god's melodious voice rang out.
[You have killed a squad member, causing irreversible severe consequences. One thousand reward points deducted!]
Yujin stepped forward and pulled the dagger from Erniu's skull.
The blade was covered in blood and brain matter. Yujin wiped it on Erniu's hair, cleaning the blade.
With Erniu's death, his body began to change. The werewolf form faded, returning to human form.
Looking at Erniu lying on the ground like a dead dog, no longer breathing, Yujin let out a roar with all his strength.
"YES!!!"
The sound of his long-awaited revenge echoed through the entire corridor.
After the excitement subsided, Yujin calmed down. His blood-red eyes grew even more resolute.
"Only two left."
