Chapter 122: The Dark Factory
From planting the bait to the end of the battle, the time spent by the four polluters did not exceed ten minutes.
And their opponent was a cannibalistic monster.
Tang Qi focused his eyes on the body that had been thinned for quite a bit but could still be called a flesh mountain, and a dim light converged.
[Extraordinary Creature: Ogre. ]
[State: Dead. ]
[Information Fragment: An old man who's obsessed with junk food, accidentally obtains a mystical object, and thus gradually transforms into a cannibal monster. His hunger for food almost completely suppresses other desires. The only remaining trace of sanity could only suppress him for half a day, and let him hide in an abandoned factory. The darkness of night is his hunting time. ]
"A mystical object?"
He had no interest in the dead cannibal monster.
However, the mystical object mentioned in the information fragment made Tang Qi look at its corpse subconsciously.
He ignored the diaper-like thing.
He focused his eyes on the dark red napkin. As expected, a faint light converged, and a special interface emerged.
[Mystical Object: Ogre's Napkin. ]
[Status: Complete. ]
[Information Fragment 1: A napkin stained with the blood of a real ogre. It brings the user an inexhaustible appetite and also provides the user with some extraordinary power. ]
[Information Fragment 2: It's a kind of mystical object that the "glutton" class specialists like most. If you can find one, you may be able to sell it at a high price. ]
"Hm"
Obviously, it was not only Tang Qi who knew the goods.
The four polluters fumbled over the dead ogre's body and finally identified the only mystical object. After the piece was pulled off, it was initially about the size of a bedsheet, and then quickly shrank to normal.
The napkin was held by the head of the polluters.
Strangely, after returning to its normal size, it actually moved towards the neck of the polluter like a living creature.
Looking at the situation, it was clearly going to entangle him and treat him as the next host.
It was until the polluter's body let out a malicious outbreak of terror, that the movements of the napkin suddenly stopped, and a frightened scream was also issued.
Then it was pulled down again and stuffed into an iron box.
After handling the napkin, the leading polluter turned his head to look at the one who lost his leg. The cold eyes under the mask looked at the yellow fat on the ground and gestured towards it.
The injured polluter immediately stepped forward, only to see barbed vines gushing out, piercing those fat meat slices with a hissing sound, and then quickly absorbing them. Not long after, the blood and flesh chunks all over the ground disappeared.
A new leg appeared at the polluter's mutilated limb.
This cleaning method was very environmentally friendly.
But even so, the corpse left by the monster was still a flesh mountain, and it was very disgusting.
At the next moment, the four polluters took out a hook-like tool at the same time, treating it as a "pig" and fixing it in four positions. Then they dragged the flesh mountain into the depths of this area.
Wherever they passed, there was an obvious trace.
A path consisted of blood, fat, broken meat chunks, etc., guiding passers-by to the deepest part of the southern area of the Bronx District.
Of course, even if there were some passers-by, they would certainly not follow.
There might be some people who were willing to explore even though they knew they were in danger but didn't have any methods of self-preservation at all. However, they were certainly not as many as those in movies and television works.
However, Tang Qi was not a passerby.
The four polluters dragged the flesh mountain forward unscrupulously because they had arranged some props in advance. Everyone in this area fell asleep, and no one would disturb their "work".
"If I wasn't convinced that they belonged to an evil organization, seeing this scene, I might think that they're heroes that clean-up monsters behind the scenes."
"Whether they're heroes or not, I can't miss the free and readily available fuel."
As he murmured, Tang Qi's mist form suddenly broke away from its original spot and drifted above the fresh mountain's corpse in the night.
On the monster's body, a resentful spirit was floating out.
Just like the image attached to the information fragment, a fat and slovenly white young man suddenly began to swell after he drifted out. When it returned to the appearance of the ogre.
Whoosh!
Silently, a misty hand wrapped in a faint golden flame pressed on its head.
Under the cover of moonlight and the dim yellow streetlight, an almost insignificant golden light swept past and the resentful spirit of the ogre instantly dissipated.
Tang Qi, who picked up a large amount of fuel, didn't keep up closely with the four polluters after refining the resentful soul.
However, he didn't leave immediately either.
Instead, he continued to maintain his body of mist, perfectly blending into the night and the shadows of the streets, and followed the four people in the distance.
Anyway, he didn't need any powerful tracking skills. After all, the path was too obvious.
Soon, Tang Qi knew why the four polluters dared to drag the corpses of monsters on the street blatantly, even if they had used some props at midnight.
The reason was very simple: they didn't go to the residential area.
Instead, they continued to go deep into the "abandoned area", which was a desolate area made of countless abandoned factories.
Because of water and power outages and some bizarre events often happening here, even homeless people dared not go in. Now it seemed the reason why this area was so deserted was not only because of the innate factors, but also because of these polluters.
Obviously, they didn't want to see bystanders appear while they were working.
In the quiet late-night, beyond the faint and hazy moonlight, an area composed entirely of factories, desolation, emptiness, and the occasional raising of the night fog. On the dusty and old street, four masked men were dragging a monster's carcass with hooks…
"If I were a painter, this scene would be the best material."
Behind the path, Tang Qi, who was blending in the night, marveled at the scene in front of him.
Then, Tang Qi saw the four polluters at the end of the path ahead, who seemed to have reached their destination.
It was a factory, the only one that was not abandoned.
It was located in the innermost part, and its original appearance could no longer be seen. Now it made people feel weirded out and disgusted.
It was completely covered with black paint, but it didn't seem to be applied evenly. Furthermore, there was a strange crack on it, which at some angles, looked like a long, and narrow evil eye.
The windows and doors of the factory seemed to be sealed, and they were also covered with black paint.
Furthermore, there was a watchtower made of black stones, which was added randomly in front of the factory.
When moonlight shone on this area, it was completely distorted and absorbed that looking at it from afar, was like seeing a dark horned beast laying on the ground and looking at the whole city through the desolate "factory graveyard".
"His ~"
Tang Qi's figure that was about to follow abruptly stopped at this moment. He suddenly felt a terrifying and heavy malice.
