Chapter 760: 398 You’re not even human! (4000) _2 Chapter 760: 398 You’re not even human! (4000) _2 Today, Rita was at the Special Action Department, processing morning duties.

However, she suddenly received a message. In Florence Quarter Four, Chuck Street 214, Reed Hotel. A murder case had occurred, with two victims. Half of the corpses were gnawed away, confirming the involvement of creatures from the darkness.

Upon receiving the notice, Rita immediately led her team to Chuck Street and arrived outside the hotel in about five minutes.

She wore a slightly tight blue hunter’s uniform and stood in front of the guard captain to inquire about the situation. When she was told that a hunter had arrived for an inspection of the crime scene on the second floor just a minute ago, Rita subconsciously gazed at the hotel.

At that moment, there was a sudden explosion in one of the rooms on the second floor, as if there was a bomb inside. Afterward, rubble was flying and a hole the size of a person appeared at the side of the window. Traces of blood splattered faintly from it.

“This is bad! Creatures from the darkness! It might very well be an invisible assassin…”

Rita’s face drastically changed as she immediately rushed towards the hotel. It was clear that evidence of a battle had just taken place. Concealed within the crime scene was undoubtedly a creature from the darkness. The ones who enjoy doing such things are none other than invisible assassins!

The fate of the hunter who had gone ahead to inspect the situation seemed dire!

An invisible assassin had killed two White Luminance Level hunters, and probably it would take the intervention of a Dark Gold Level hunter to kill it. But the Dark Copper Level hunter who had gone earlier, was just another prey to the shadowy assassin.

Rita’s heart had already resigned that hunter to a death sentence.

Zip, zip, zip…

A White Luminance Level hunter was leading. Five Dark Copper Level hunters followed hastily. They burst into the lobby and ran up the stairs, flying past the flustered guards, straight to the room at the end of the corridor. Just as they were about to reach it:

It was not only the physical strain of the vocal cords but also the anguish of a soul crying out. It was as if a living person was watching themselves being chewed inch by inch by numerous teeth, powerless to do anything about it and suffering a hopeless death.

“Damn it! The invisible assassin!”

Rita quickened her pace, grit her teeth and led her team to crash in.

As the door broke, she caught sight of the scene in front of her.

There was no bloody mastication scene or crazy demon with its mouth full of blood. Instead, a strong youth crouched on the ground with a few drops of green blood on his expressionless face and cold eyes. He reached out a strong arm and pressed it on the skull of a lizard, slowly turning and pressing down his five fingers. Bit by bit, he stuffed the deformed metal head into the chest of the dark creature. Chunks of meat around the hole looked like a squeezed sponge. Green blood gushed out continuously, drenching the floor!

“…”

Rita and her crew were stiffened in place, the rooms seemed dead silent.

A scream broke that silence.

“Ah ah ah ah ah ah! I genuinely don’t know what that spiral pattern is! I swear, I’m not the ghoul! I was just messing with you! Believe me, believe me ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!” Nonsensical words were eventually drowned out by screams when the lizardman’s head was brutally twisted three hundred and sixty degrees by the steel clamp-like fingers.

“Monster! Kill me, just kill me! Gah gah gah…”

The lizardman seemed to have gone crazy from torture, his mind shattered.

Casio slightly furrowed his brows, sensing something off. It wasn’t the first time he tortured a creature of darkness, but such creatures, having wisdom, behaved more like cold-blooded animals. The lizardman before him, on the other hand, seemed more human-like. Quick to show emotions, but also fast to have a mental breakdown.

Compared to the creatures of darkness Casio had encountered before, this lizardman behaved more like a mental patient. He had distinctly human-like terror and despair.

At the doorway, Rita and her comrades didn’t dare say a word, for fear that the slightest commotion would attract his attention, and they’d wind up just like that lizardman.

Rita looked at the scattered limbs and upper body of the lizardman, now recognising the characteristics of the invisible assassin. She found it mortifying that such a creature from darkness, capable of hunting down multiple White Luminance Level hunters, was now reduced to a begging, armless mess on the floor.

The air reeked of blood, it was so intense that it was nearly suffocating.

Reluctantly, Rita had to admit that she was truly afraid now.

Her gaze slid downwards, her eyes catching on something, and the very next moment, her whole body relaxed. Rita had seen the Hunter Badge on Casio. He was a comrade! He must’ve been dispatched to handle the Invisible Hunter mission!

From the side of the room, a deep gaze was cast over. A man slowly stood up, a dismembered body of a lizardman in his hands. He asked politely.

“Madam, do you happen to have a wooden travel case? Preferably a large one…”

*******************************

At twelve-thirty in the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly.

At the entrance of Reed Hotel, Rita’s six-member team watched the tall figure in the distance walk away. He was carrying a large travel case.

Something viscous was slowly dripping from the bottom of the travel case.

“Phew, another supernatural event resolved. That was really dangerous just now. If that man hadn’t stepped in before our team, I’m afraid none of us would’ve survived…”

Cold sweat trickled down Rita’s back.

The man, though aloof, having uttered only one sentence the entire time, had saved her life indirectly for which Rita was grateful.

At one in the afternoon, at the sanatorium in Florence’s seventh district.

Baro was lying on a soft, white patient bed, three of his limbs wrapped in bandages, immobilized. Only his right hand was free. He slowly reached out to grab some fruit from the bedside table.

His movements were shaky, much like those of an elderly person.

Although Baro currently looked incapacitated, he had been a Dark Gold Level hunter at the peak of his prime, known as the Sword Ax, just ten days ago. But their ghoul hunt had failed miserably. Three White Luminance Level hunters had perished on the spot, and he was the only one who barely escaped. It was the worst defeat he had ever experienced. They were utterly dominated by the ghoul, as if it was a cat playing with a mouse.

If the ghoul hadn’t been toying with them, he wouldn’t have even had a chance to escape. According to his estimations, it would take at least two Dark Gold Level hunters to contend with a ghoul, and three would have the best odds.

Or, perhaps the top Dark Gold Hunters who were just a step away from becoming Shadow Hunters. They would be eligible to undertake the task alone.

While lost in his thoughts, Baro heard some voices outside his door. Then, a handsome young man carrying a hand suitcase walked in.

“Hello, Hunter Baro. I am Bai Kui, one of the four contenders for the seat of the Shadow Hunter in this round. The first phase examination mission is related to the ghoul which has been unusually active recently. The Hunters’ Association said that I could get more detailed information here. Sorry for the disturbance…” the young man said in a deep voice.

“Bai Kui? A Shadow Hunter seat?”

Baro gradually remembered. He had heard some rumors from the Hunters’ Association about ten days ago. The Bai Kui in front of him was a disciple of Bloody Axe Herbert.

But, wasn’t Bai Kui just of a Bronze Level? And he’s really participating in this round of competition for a Shadow Hunter seat? Baro cast a glance at the badge on Casio’s chest and saw it was indeed of Bronze Level. His eyes showed some displeasure.

It’s not a game to carry out the hunting missions from the Hunters’ Association! How could they assign such dangerous missions to a hunter whose strength is clearly inadequate? Baro had personally experienced how terrifying a ghoul was, and only top Dark Gold Level hunters would qualify to be involved. Was this Bronze Level Bai Kui here for a suicide mission?

“I’m sorry, my wounds are not stable yet and I need some alone time to rest. Come back to me when I’m feeling better…”

To reject Bai Kui was Baro’s indirect way of saving Herbert’s face.

“Hunter Baro, I won’t take up much of your time, just five seconds will do. I just want you to identify… whether this reptile really is that ghoul.” Casio suddenly opened his large travel case. Inside was a twisted, quivering mess of flesh.

In the middle of it, a lizard’s head stared wide-eyed, utterly desperate and in pain.

“!”
