Chapter 1937: Chapter 1051: A Cornered Dog Will Jump Over the Wall (Part 2)

This pocket watch has an antique style, seemingly made of pure gold, but the problem is that the seams of the watch are specially wrapped with a layer of gold foil, almost as if it had been welded, sealing off all gaps completely.

“Originally, I didn’t want to use it; I don’t even know how troublesome this thing is. But if you don’t let me have peace, I certainly won’t let you have peace either!”

The Doctor pulled on a thread on the pocket watch with force, and the thread lifted all the gold foil off the seams of the pocket watch.

An even colder aura began to spread outwards. The glass outside the hotel seemed to be frosting over.

Crack, crack~

The white mist on the ground, compliant with the surface, spread continuously throughout the exhibition hall.

Although the hostages did not know what was happening, a primal fear began to surface in their hearts. Something bad had emerged!

The Jackal, precisely, who had been greatly nourished by Tao Yu using the souls of those few people from Group C and had not yet drained from possessing two people in succession, also felt a sense of horror at this moment.

In an instant, he detached from the rabbit’s body, causing the rabbit to collapse to the ground, while he himself penetrated through the wall and quickly returned to Tao Yu’s side.

“Boss, something went wrong inside, someone released something terrifying.”

Initially, a few playboys, surrounded by bodyguards, heard the gunfire coming from the exhibition hall and were praising the usefulness of the ghosts here.

As a result, they quickly heard the Jackal’s voice on the filming phone held by Le Huizhen, leaving them all somewhat dumbfounded.

Are you a ghost?!

Why would you say something like ’something terrifying’?

“It should be some kind of anomaly that was originally sealed and was released deliberately…”

Tao Yu’s tone seemed very calm. This wasn’t a bad thing for him, with reporters filming nearby, he might as well mention it…

…

“An anomaly?! How did it end up here together!”

The playboys had been thinking about finding someone capable of controlling anomalies, but the anomalies emerged as soon as they turned around!

“It might be something he carried with him originally, or something he stole from some Ghost Tamer.”

Tao Yu’s words also made the playboys’ faces darken.

As top financial conglomerates, they also understood that while anomalies were not easy to deal with, ambushing a Ghost Tamer wasn’t too problematic. They could use golden bullets for a sneak attack, as Ghost Tamers had inherent physical weaknesses.

Hence, this kind of desperado might indeed be able to snatch away something if he knew similar methods!

But appearing together now wasn’t ideal!

“Do you have any ideas now? Let’s leave first…”

“We can’t; the entire hotel is now within the influence range of this anomaly. We need to find the anomaly’s behavioral pattern; there’s still a chance to get out alive.”

“Ah!”

Screams came from the upper venue, and Tao Yu walked steadily upwards.

In this situation, the playboys could only grit their teeth and follow.

They could resist armed criminals with their bodyguards, but when facing anomalies, all they could do was cling to the powerful thighs in front of them, with seemingly no other option!

Tao Yu casually snatched a gun from a bodyguard and pushed open the door of the venue.

As soon as the door opened, an icy chill swept over him, as though the temperature here was significantly lower, with cold air carrying white frost. The lights around became dim and eerie.

Panicked hostages ran chaotically in the exhibition hall, and some rushed towards them, seemingly trying to escape.

Yet upon opening the door, the gun in Tao Yu’s hand spat fire, without any pause.

With gunfire more precise than the Jackal, the remaining few armed criminals were all shot in the head one by one.

The hostages who initially ran towards the door were frightened back inside.

At this moment, the exhibition hall appeared dark, with places that seemed like sticky tar appearing in the shadows. The hall oddly seemed to accumulate long-standing dust, and even some cobwebs could be seen.

The displayed gemstones inexplicably became mottled and old, losing their original luster.

Tao Yu raised the muzzle of his gun.

Bang, bang, bang~

He emptied the remaining bullets.

“Quiet.”

Though Tao Yu’s tone was calm, it seemed to have a magical power capable of soothing the atmosphere, immediately easing the tense mood.

Li Jie and Chen Jiaju, observing another macho man arriving at this side, along with the armed criminals eliminated after successive strikes, were approaching together with the computer experts.

“There was internal conflict among them just now, don’t know how it resulted in so many deaths. Young brother, your shooting is impressive.”

Chen Jiaju gave Tao Yu a thumbs up, full of amazement.

“But now, I don’t know what’s happening; things feel strange.”

Li Jie remained a bit more composed. The inexplicable transformation into the Underworld atmosphere, with gurgling bubbling noises in the dark corners, looked outright abnormal.

“It’s an anomaly. The leader of the robbers mingling among the crowd should have used some special item, or the person is there.”

Tao Yu pointed to a dark corner in the exhibition hall.

At this moment, the Doctor was seen with a peculiar smile on his face, his back pressed tightly against the wall, moving with an odd posture of sticking to the wall.

“Hey, it seems you were the one causing the issues on our side all along.”

The Doctor glared at Tao Yu full of resentment, having planned for so long, expecting peace after this gig, yet never imagined it would turn out like this!

“Little Duke, it seems the means by which you acquired inheritance are also quite unusual, having such things assisting you. No wonder you’ve achieved what you have.”

There was a touch of sarcasm in the Doctor’s resentful tone.

“But why wasn’t acquiring the title enough for you through your ability? Why return to ruin my plans?! Now, I want you dead! I want everyone here to be buried with me!”

Then as the Doctor finished speaking, his back suddenly departed from the wall and he turned around.

His back’s clothing was entirely torn, revealing a twisted and ugly face.

The face was connected to the Doctor’s back muscles, appearing grotesque and disturbing.

As everyone was drawn in by the Doctor’s words, almost everyone saw that twisted face, and it seemed like an imprint was left on their eyes, feeling an itch on their back, as if there was something crawling under their skin.

“We’ve already triggered this anomaly’s killing rule; it seems like seeing it will cause our backs to be assimilated by it and eventually eroded.”

Tao Yu’s words changed the complexions of the playboys feeling the itch on their back.

“Quick, check my back to see what’s happening!”

Li Family’s eldest son’s face changed, seeming to intend to lift his clothing for the bodyguards to examine.

“Wait, don’t act rashly.”

Tao Yu raised his hand to stop the suicidal act, then pointed to the Doctor.

“Look at what happens when that face is seen by so many of us.”

The grotesque face on the Doctor’s back began to wildly deform, with flesh rolling and grotesquely inflating like tumors.

And then splat~

It directly exploded, and the Doctor fell straight into a pool of blood. His body virtually disintegrated, plasma spilled all over, and he died a terrifying death.

Only a head, almost detached from the hollowed body, hung there with a sinister smile.

“What was that?!”

“My god! Why did it happen like this?”

“My back itches…”

“…”

The hostages, despite being soothed by Tao Yu’s voice earlier, now again felt immense terror.

Are we going to turn out like that too?

“The preliminary observation suggests that when someone else sees the thing on their back, it will spread, and simultaneously grow on oneself. We must avoid this temporarily.”

After Tao Yu finished speaking, everyone feeling itchy on their back promptly moved back, either finding a wall or a pillar, or simply lying down on the ground.

Including those few playboys.

Initially, Tao Yu’s words inherently carried a sense of trust, let alone having witnessed the Doctor’s gruesome end.

At this moment, Chen Jiaju lying on the ground also talked to Tao Yu.

“Brother, aren’t you lying down? There’s some space here, we can squeeze together.”

Looking at this guy who bore some resemblance to Jack, Tao Yu gave him a sideways glance.

“My back is already covered.”

In the eyes of Huang Yaozu and Li Guoqiang, and on the video being filmed by Le Huizhen, the Jackal’s spiritual body was blocking Tao Yu’s back.

It seems this spiritual barrier also worked.

“But why do I still feel some itchiness on my back?”

Chen Jiaju rubbed against the ground, puzzlingly asked.

“We just stopped stimulating this thing, but over time, it will still erode us gradually. Now we need to find its flaw and recontain it…”
