Chapter 42 - NUCT: Chapter 42

At that moment, extreme fear instantly spread throughout her body.

It was over, everything was over!

Crack, crack!

The monster outside was frantically disassembling the wooden board, as if it couldn't wait to come down and enjoy the feast.

At this time, the little girl was also frightened, and was hugged tightly by her mother, motionless.

Obviously, she also knew now that the one who was speaking above just now wasn't her daddy at all, but a monster in disguise!

Boom!

With almost no effort, the wooden board at the entrance of the cellar was violently dismantled, and the wood propping it up fell weakly.

Then a green monster with a toad-like appearance jumped down, scanning the mother and daughter in front of it with undisguised greedy eyes.

"I'm Runichi, I'm so miserable! It's all your fault that I was killed by the monster!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out again.

Looking again, it turned out that the human head in the toad monster's hand was speaking with its mouth opening and closing.

The woman, who was already desperate, suddenly collapsed after seeing her husband's miserably dead head.

She tightly cover her mouth with her other hand, and tears kept sliding down.

"It's all your fault for not letting me in, you killed me!"

"Enough! You disgusting monster!"

After collapsing, the woman seemed to have given up, and wasn't afraid of angering the other party, because there was only one result left anyway.

The toad monster wasn't angry when it saw this, but was even happier.

As a newly promoted [Level 2 Cursed Spirit], although his ability wasn't combat-type, it was very interesting.

He could reactivate some of the organ functions of the dead human head, such as making a dead man's head speak as before.

It was precisely because of this ability that he was like a fish in water when hunting, and didn't know how many humans he had lured to their doom.

And now, he would have two more exquisite collectibles in his hand.

However, before eating the other party, he needed to first enjoy the strong negative emotions emanating from this woman's body!

Humans' fear, hatred, and other strong negative emotions were what they liked to eat the most, and were also the supply for them to become stronger.

So usually he would choose to torture the prey severely first, and then eat them bit by bit starting from their feet.

That kind of despair and grief of only being able to watch yourself being eaten bit by bit by the monster could often inspire maximum emotional fluctuations.

It was the most delicious... "Come on, let's let our family be together forever!"

The toad monster continued to torture them with the woman's husband's voice.

"Then... let's start eating from this little one." The toad monster grabbed the little girl with a grin.

The little girl seemed to be sluggish, and stood there motionless.

The woman squatted down and hugged her daughter, with her back to the monster, tightly closing her eyes.

But what she expected didn't happen, instead she heard strange sounds of tearing and plop coming from behind her.

"Mommy, the brave man-sama has come to save us."

The woman didn't see it because she was facing away from the monster, but her daughter witnessed the whole process.

A man with short brown hair, skin that looked a little too pale, and wearing a long black robe, holding an overly large and exaggerated big knife, suddenly descended from the sky.

She only saw a flash of silver light, and the disgusting toad monster was split in two from head to toe!

The woman heard her daughter's words and subconsciously turned her head in a hurry, but besides the corpse of the monster that had been killed, she didn't see anyone.

"Where is the brave man-sama?" The woman asked quite eagerly.

She didn't doubt her daughter's words, because the monster was now dead in front of her, this was something that couldn't be faked.

So someone must have killed the monster and saved them.

And now that her husband had died tragically, if they could find such a powerful reliance, they would be able to continue to survive.

Perhaps having such thoughts was very shameful, but as a mother, that was all she could do.

It was just that her daughter's answer made her feel disappointed.

"The brave man-sama disappeared with a swoosh."

Saving people but leaving directly without saying a word, it was obvious that he didn't want to have any further involvement with them.

The woman smiled wryly, and didn't say anything more, but her eyes became more and more firm.

"Let's go, it's not safe here anymore."

"Are we going to find the brave man-sama?" The daughter looked up at her mother with expectant eyes.

The woman smiled bitterly, touched her daughter's hair, "The brave man-sama still has to go and defeat the monster, so we can't add to the trouble, right?"

The daughter nodded heavily, "Yeah! So the brave man-sama will definitely win, right?"

"Yes, the brave man-sama will definitely win! He will win."

...

[Exorcised Level 2 Cursed Spirit, obtained 300 Cursed Soul Points]

After killing the toad monster, Shinji went non-stop to another place where screams were being heard.

Exorcising a Level 3 Cursed Spirit gave 200 Cursed Soul Points.

Exorcising a Level 2 Cursed Spirit gave 300 Cursed Soul Points.

It was giving too little!

But after thinking about the little strength that the Level 2 and Level 3 Cursed Spirits had shown, he was relieved.

They were all guys who were killed with one knife, so there was no difference between two hundred and three hundred.

More importantly, there were many of these cursed spirits, and they were born quickly.

Looking at it this way, as long as he was diligent and improved his efficiency, he could earn a lot!

So Shinji didn't have the time to chat with the people who had been saved.

He would rather kill two more monsters with that time.

Another thing worth mentioning was that because his bond value with Hidan had exceeded 500 points and reached the second stage, in the default team state, he could obtain half of the cursed soul points for the cursed spirits that Hidan killed alone.

And if he participated, he could get the full amount of cursed soul points for the cursed spirits that the two of them killed together.

After discovering this, Shinji decisively chose to separate from Hidan.

After all, all kinds of demons and ghosts were coming out to hunt at this time, and the efficiency was too poor if he and Hidan continued to act together.

Hidan wouldn't have any objections to this, he had long wanted to kill to his heart's content!

So the two hit it off and began to kill monsters on their own. Walking through a street, a foul-smelling mucus suddenly enveloped Shinji's head.

Not far away, two cursed spirits with huge heads and extremely thin bodies were opening their mouths wide.

The mucus attack just now was spat out from their mouths.

"Disgusting!"

This attack method, like phlegm, really disgusted Shinji.

He didn't hesitate anymore, and instantly activated the Kubikiribōchō's [Stealth Strike], and his whole person disappeared from the spot immediately.

Beheading, execution!

Puff! One of the big-headed monster babies' heads rolled to the ground directly.

Ignoring the system prompt, Shinji unhesitatingly raised his knife again and slashed at another big-headed monster baby.
