Chapter 75: Just Pretend I'm Not Human This Time

The prostitute closed her eyes in despair. Was that kind, polite, mentally ill young man really going to be brutally killed by the evil creature?

Bang!

The giant evil bear's paw slammed heavily onto Lin Fan's body. A dull thud echoed, the force immense, scattering white smoke like the wisps before a friction fire.

Let the tiny human scream with broken limbs. This was the thought in the evil bear's mind. No one could resist his power, no one, not ever. This was absolute confidence.

But wait! The evil bear felt like he'd hit a steel plate. His paw hurt a bit.

Lin Fan looked calmly at the evil bear.

The evil bear shifted slightly, clearly in disbelief at the scene before him. He raised his paw and examined it. Why wasn't it hurting anymore? Why wasn't the human reacting?

"Old Zhang, he hit me," Lin Fan said.

"I saw it," Old Zhang replied.

The evil bear roared in fury, hot white mist puffing from its nose and black mist radiating from its body. It threw a punch towards Lin Fan's face.

"You're so annoying." Lin Fan wasn't happy. He threw a punch in return, his fist connecting with the evil bear's muscled abdomen. The abdomen caved in upon impact. The evil bear's expression morphed from stunned to bewildered, then its eyes bulged, and its body arched backward.

Bang!

It slammed into the wall, cracking the surface.

The breakfast shop owner wanted to cry. My shop! Who's going to pay for this?

It all happened so fast, in the blink of an eye.

As the evil bear lost consciousness, only one thought remained in its mind: Damn it! What just happened?

"Lin Fan, what happened to him?" Old Zhang asked curiously, tugging on Lin Fan's sleeve.

"Maybe he fainted," Lin Fan replied.

Old Zhang approached the evil bear and examined it carefully. "I think he's definitely dead. We can finally eat bear paws."

Evil Bear: I just fainted.

Lin Fan brought a kitchen knife and a black bag from the kitchen. He told Old Zhang to step aside to avoid getting splattered with blood.

"Watch this."

The prostitute covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes wide. She didn't know what Lin Fan was going to do, but for some reason, Lin Fan holding a kitchen knife seemed terrifying.

"We'll have something delicious soon." Lin Fan turned back and gave the prostitute a warm smile before turning back decisively, raising the knife, and bringing it down.

A world of crimson. Yet, somehow, the scene seemed strangely heartwarming.

"We have food!" Old Zhang clapped his hands excitedly.

The prostitute felt a chill run down her spine, as if witnessing something horrific.

Swish, swish!

Lin Fan and Old Zhang squatted down, packing the bear paws into the bag.

"Let's go," Lin Fan said to the prostitute.

The prostitute was stunned, unable to recover for a long time. She was terrified of Lin Fan. She knew they were mentally ill, and from her interactions with them, she thought it wasn't a big deal, just that they thought differently.

But now… She dismissed her previous thoughts. This wasn't just different. This was…

She followed Lin Fan and Old Zhang like a zombie, leaving the breakfast shop.

Silence fell upon the shop. A black crow perched on a nearby building, its ruby-like eyes fixed on the three figures emerging from the shop, its gaze lingering on Lin Fan and Old Zhang.

Then, the crow saw several figures rapidly approaching from the distance. It took flight, circling in the air, then flew further and further away, disappearing from sight.

Cough, cough!

Liu Ying coughed up blood and slowly opened his eyes. His whole body felt like it was shattered, the pain almost unbearable.

Suddenly, his eyes widened as he remembered the evil bear. He had been knocked unconscious by the bear's charge. What had happened while he was out?

He imagined the evil bear going on a rampage, tearing apart the three survivors, then grabbing a cute, innocent girl by the legs, exposing her underwear, and ripping her to shreds. The thought sent shivers down his spine.

He shook his head, pushing the horrifying image away, and struggled to his feet, listening for the evil bear.

Huh? His eyes widened in shock, his entire being frozen. He saw a corpse leaning against the wall of the breakfast shop. If his eyes weren't deceiving him, it was the evil bear, but its body was much smaller than before.

"The energy reading disappeared here."

"Quick! Everyone get ready!"

The sound of hurried footsteps approached.

Several figures appeared. Leading the charge were two powerful warriors from the Buddhist academy, the so-called "tanks," who were always the first to confront evil creatures. Behind them followed assassins, mages, and healers.

Buff applied.

AOE skill activated.

Perfect coordination, absolutely no problem.

But when they saw the scene inside the breakfast shop, they were completely dumbfounded and slowly lowered their weapons.

They saw Liu Ying standing in front of the evil bear.

Liu Ying looked at them, disheveled.

For a moment, both sides stared at each other in stunned silence.

A woman stood at the entrance, holding a bag of newly bought lingerie, covering her mouth, tears in her eyes. She saw the evil creature lying in a pool of blood and her boyfriend covered in blood.

She was completely awestruck by his figure.

"Yingying…"

She wanted to rush over and hug her boyfriend, but then remembered something important. She took out her phone and snapped several pictures of the scene inside the breakfast shop, focusing on the angle between Liu Ying and the evil bear. Then she posted them to her social media with the caption: "[My shopping companion disappeared, turns out he was here fighting an evil creature. This is my man, he works so hard. (╥╯^╰╥)]"

All done. She rushed towards Liu Ying. "Yingying, you're so brave! I was wrong about you. You were protecting others. I'm so proud of you."

Liu Ying wasn't the type to take credit for something he hadn't done. That would be despicable. He was about to explain…

"Yingying, I bought several sets of sexy lingerie. I'll wear them for you tonight. I'll make you very happy."

Hearing this, Liu Ying swallowed his explanation. Forget it, please forgive me. Just pretend I'm not human this time.

Liu Ying whispered in his girlfriend's ear, "I want to… you know… hot and cold…"

"You're so bad! So many people are watching," she said, playfully hitting his chest.

The impact made Liu Ying gasp. The pain was almost unbearable.

He was seriously injured.

Internal injuries.

From holding back the truth.
