Chapter 880 Fierce Battle
Bang–!
A huge crash came from the shore. An Qingyu turned to look and saw a broken fishing boat being battered by the surging waves against the shore, releasing a thick smell of blood.
The rusty deck had already turned into a sea of blood, with numerous scarred corpses lying in pools of blood, their eyes wide open, unable to rest in peace.
Knife wounds, bite marks, holes from fishing spears… their injuries were all different, but they shared one thing in common – their faces remained twisted in anger until death.
They were the fishermen who had gone out to sea together today.
They died killing each other.
Just then, a blood-covered figure holding a blood-stained dagger stumbled off the fishing boat.
“It’s all mine… all mine… hehehe…” The man Chen Gou had called Er Zhuzi stumbled forward while muttering to himself like a madman.
Suddenly, his peripheral vision caught Chen Gou kneeling on the ground nearby, and An Qingyu standing beside him.
He froze for a moment, then gripped his dagger tighter, his expression turning savage again!
“Die!! Anyone who fights me for it must die!” He raised the dagger high and charged at An Qingyu like a mad dog, suddenly accelerating.
An Qingyu’s brows furrowed as anger rose in his eyes. A sharp scalpel appeared in his palm, and with a flick of his wrist, he was about to throw it!
“Qingyu!!”
Jiang Er’s voice suddenly came through the Bluetooth speaker at An Qingyu’s waist.
An Qingyu’s half-raised wrist trembled, clarity instantly returning to his eyes. He put away the scalpel, dodged Er Zhuzi’s mad slash, and lightly pressed his palm against the man’s chest, sending him flying several meters.
The next moment, an invisible thread shot out, instantly binding him tight.
After doing all this, An Qingyu took a deep breath, finally relaxing his body.
“Thanks to you, Jiang Er.”
He had almost been influenced again.
Even though he had been consciously controlling his emotions, he had still lost his composure just now and nearly lost his rationality… He could clearly feel that the power affecting people’s emotions was gradually growing stronger.
An Qingyu looked up at the red moon gradually emerging from the dark clouds, the gravity in his eyes growing heavier.
“It’s that moon…” he muttered.
Now he was almost certain that the mysterious force affecting people’s emotions came from that red moon!
As the moon’s outline became more complete, the power controlling emotions would grow stronger. When the red moon was fully exposed in the sky and its light fell on this village, all living creatures would likely completely lose their rationality and become monsters that only knew how to kill each other…
But why had only this fishing village’s moon changed like this?
Could this time loop be related to that red moon?
“It’s okay, although the force affecting people’s emotions here works on me, its effect seems to be greatly weakened,” Jiang Er’s voice came through the Bluetooth speaker.
An Qingyu nodded, “Although your physical body has lost its vitality, your brain is still active, so the part of the brain that controls your emotions would still be affected, just much less than us.”
“Qingyu, have you found a way to block this emotional influence?”
An Qingyu fell silent.
If this mysterious force that made people kill each other really came from that red moon, the most direct solution should be to block the light…
An Qingyu lightly raised his fingertip, and black thorns burst from the ground, forming a cocoon that enveloped him and Chen Gou. He closed his eyes and carefully sensed for a moment, but the irritability and depression in his heart hadn’t decreased at all.
Physical barriers were ineffective.
In other words, this red moon’s influence on living creatures wasn’t mediated by light, but by some other unstoppable form…
Damn! How should this be handled!?
He couldn’t just fly up there and shatter that moon, could he?
If they couldn’t stay clear-headed under the red moon’s influence, the only option was to forcibly break out of this time loop and escape this village… but without finding the source maintaining the time loop, they couldn’t get out unless they tried to brute force their way through the loop.
But the problem was, if they really had the power to break through the loop, they would have gotten out long ago.
Even the highest level among their group was only “Unlimited”, still far from that level…
Wait?!
Just then, An Qingyu seemed to think of something and suddenly turned his head toward the direction where Bai Li Pangpang, Cao Yuan and Shen Qingzhu had left earlier, his pupils slightly contracting.
Perhaps they did have access to that terrifying level of power after all?
…
The roaring flames danced like demon tentacles in the dark sky. The crimson moon had revealed half of itself from the clouds, and an eerie, sinister aura spread throughout the fishing village.
“Quick!! Hold her down! We need two more people!”
“Has she gone mad? How come we never knew she was this strong before?!”
“Where’s the barefoot doctor? Why hasn’t the doctor come yet? Little Sister is almost gone!”
“…”
Next to a burning house, three men firmly pinned down a blood-covered middle-aged woman holding a chopper. The woman’s veins were bulging, red light flickering in her eyes, her entire expression utterly insane.
Opposite her, a woman with a heavily pregnant belly lay silently in a pool of blood, no longer breathing.
“Let me go! Let me go!!”
The woman pinned to the ground roared, but couldn’t move her limbs at all. She suddenly lowered her head and bit the arm of the man holding her hand with her sharp teeth, blood seeping from the wound.
“Ahhhhh!!!”
The bitten man cried out in pain and withdrew his arm, his eyes also tinged with crimson, furious and vicious, “You bitch, are you asking to die?!”
He reached into the ruins of a nearby house and grabbed a brick, raised it high, and smashed it down on the back of the struggling woman’s head with a dull thud.
Blood flowed down the back of the woman’s head. Her eyes rolled back and she instantly lost all strength, collapsing lifeless on the ground.
“Old Li… you killed her!”
“So what if I killed her? She killed Little Sister first!”
“But you shouldn’t have killed her!”
“I’ll kill whoever I want! Don’t provoke me! Or I’ll kill you too!”
“?? What nonsense are you spouting?!”
The men standing around the woman’s corpse widened their eyes, their pupils also tinged with red. They glared at each other like savage beasts operating purely on instinct, suddenly pouncing on each other and beginning to fight to the death.
