Global Game: I Have Portable Store-Chapter 424 - 10: Mist Wraith

"Quite perceptive."

Su Changxing crouched on the edge of the roof, watching the suddenly halted vehicle, guessing it should be up ahead.

This was the main street of the city, and the crowd had already been evacuated, leaving no pedestrians or vehicles, though some curious people were peeking around nearby.

"Hey, bro, your cosplay is so professional, no need for any editing."

A short-haired man with a camera hanging from his chest and holding a whiteboard and pen saw Su Changxing coming over and started chatting familiarly.

Su Changxing was momentarily taken aback, surprised that he hadn’t frightened this man, and replied in a hoarse voice:

"Really? Thanks for the compliment. Didn’t they say there was an incident over there? What are you doing here?"

"Of course, I’m here to gather firsthand information, I’m a journalist, Zeng Lei."

He said with full confidence: "Cameras seem to be useless here, but I’m a fine arts student, and my sketches are top-notch. I’ll definitely make the headlines tomorrow."

Are journalists nowadays really so dedicated?

Su Changxing paused for a moment and said, "Show me your sketches."

The man turned his drawing board sideways, and it depicted the scene of the street ahead, where several blurry black silhouettes floated in mid-air.

"This is what I just saw, definitely not just something I made up. Even the police don’t dare to get close."

He babbled on, both fearful and excited.

Su Changxing looked at the drawing and asked, "They haven’t moved?"

The man shook his head and replied, "No, they’ve been moving, but the way they move is strange, the lower half of their bodies keeps spinning."

"Alright, I’ll go take a look."

Su Changxing said as he walked forward.

The man couldn’t help but remind, "They don’t allow people to go over there. I was just chased away, and it seems some officers even disappeared in there... Wait, are you a journalist too?" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Su Changxing ignored him, running toward the black silhouettes twitching in mid-air, like they were lagging with high ping.

"True Knowledge" quickly provided information.

[Juvenile Fog Void: Tier Eight, an existence between reality and illusion, capable of devouring intelligent beings to rapidly expand itself, simultaneously emitting vast amounts of antimatter energy...]

"What the hell is this? Why did such a monster appear?"

Su Changxing felt a slight threat; this monster’s strength could rapidly expand, and it was already at Tier Eight level.

It must be eliminated quickly.

The police felt the threat too, continuously retreating; no living creatures remained within the area of the silhouettes.

"We just received orders from above, we can use heavy weapons for probing attacks."

Ye Chen stepped up and said.

At the same time, several armed police officers pulled out a rocket launcher from an armored vehicle and fired at the center of those silhouettes.

"Boom~"

Flames and explosions spread loudly in the air.

The rocket exploded abruptly in mid-air, as if hitting some kind of obstacle, destroying a midsection of the nearby building.

"Can it be killed?"

Su Changxing watched the actions of the police from afar, noticing a large amount of black mist dissipating nearby with the explosion.

Immediately after.

The twitching silhouettes in the sky quickly converged, revealing an octopus-like creature on the street, albeit bloated and gigantic, with countless tiny tentacles squirming incessantly.

A stream of black liquid shot out from its mouth, sweeping through the police ranks, instantly causing seven or eight officers touched by the liquid to disintegrate.

Their faces went blank, seemingly dead, till their bodies vanished completely without a trace.

"What is that!"

"Quick, another rocket launcher, everyone counterattack, counterattack."

······

Another rocket was fired but was intercepted mid-air by the black liquid, falling to the ground, a dud.

Soon, dense and intense gunfire erupted, a flurry of bullets poured toward the "octopus" like water.

Bullets sparked on its surface and embedded themselves shortly before dropping to the ground.

The armed forces wielded rifles.

While some police officers present carried only handguns, not enough to easily kill this monster, let alone ordinary people.

Ye Chen’s expression was grim, but he had no choice but to keep shooting with his pistol at the monster.

Another jet of black liquid streamed in, killing four or five people on the spot.

"Retreat, everyone retreat, this isn’t something we can handle."

Finally, an order to retreat was given, though some people had already started to flee.

"Bang bang~"

At this moment, more gunshots sounded from behind them.

The monster suddenly paused, two medium-sized holes appeared on its surface.

A person in clown attire exaggeratedly strode forward, wielding a worn-out revolver in hand, casting long shadows under the orange streetlights.

Ye Chen saw the strangely dressed person but didn’t have time to ponder where his gun came from, shouting:

"Don’t go, you’re no match for it, ordinary firearms are ineffective against it."

The clown halted, slightly tilted his head with completely black eyes glistening, raised the gun in his hand, widened his eyes, and smirked, saying:

"Ha, my gun is different from yours."

Ye Chen was momentarily dumbfounded, not understanding what he meant, could it really kill that monster? Even rocket launchers had minimal effect.

Su Changxing was a bit startled too, blurting out those words, seemingly influenced by the Clown Mask.

Yet, he didn’t expect it could directly alter his actions and words.

The clown suddenly dodged to the side, easily evading the incoming black liquid.

Following that, Ye Chen saw the clown charging at the monster with eerie speed, reaching the monster’s face almost instantly.

Su Changxing was only a step away from the "giant squid," leisurely pulling out a silver long-barreled revolver from his coat, aiming it at its head.

"Die!"

Pulling the trigger.

"Boom~"

Sparks flew as the silver bullet exploded at the octopus’s center head, accompanied by a roaring blast akin to a rocket’s detonation.

The Fog Void’s head bore a massive hole, with large amounts of black matter escaping, the huge body deflating and gradually disappearing.

The suspended black silhouettes stopped twitching, slowly gaining color, quietly falling onto the street, turning into bloodied corpses, seemingly those who had gone missing.

Half of Liu Yi’s corpse lay at Su Changxing’s feet, quietly resting in the shadows, his face frozen with a grim expression.

"Hmm, what bad luck."

Su Changxing tucked the revolver back into his coat, maintaining a smiling face.

This Fog Void, despite being Tier Eight, couldn’t even withstand a single shot from him.

His attack far exceeded the Fog Void’s life capacity.
