Chapter 214: Evilization
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Early morning. Zhou Chen woke up and walked toward the window.
He did not really sleep last night. He only took a light nap, but he did not sense any abnormalities the whole night. He felt that something was going to happen during the day.
Looking out of the window, the Bizarre Village was already filled with a faint white mist. The mist was not heavy, but it still affected his sight.
“There is mist… is this making it convenient for the evil entities to attack?”
He used the Bloodthirst to sense his surroundings.
“There’s indeed a problem. Half the people in this village are missing.”
Zhou Chen’s Bloodthirst perception was very sensitive. With this perception, he realized that some strange change had occurred in this Bizarre Village and a lot of the residents had disappeared.
“Little Li and the yellow-haired woman are gone, only He Jin seems to be around.”
“Forget it, I will just go and kill some evil entities.”
However, before he could walk to his door, he heard a knock.
“Brother Zhou, open the door.” He Jin’s voice came from outside.
Zhou Chen did not reply. As he walked to the door, the corners of his mouth gradually curled up.
When he reached the door, he suddenly pulled the door and sent a kick.
A bespectacled young man’s figure was sent flying. He directly crashed into the opposite house.
“I was just about to look for you guys when you came over. You really saved me a lot of trouble.”
Zhou Chen charged into the opposite house. He punched the young man again, sending him flying through the house.
It was obvious that this ‘He Jin’ was an evil entity in disguise. It might have been able to deceive others, but not Zhou Chen. When he could not sense this person with his Bloodthirst perception, he was very sure that it was an evil entity.
After sending the evil entity flying, Zhou Chen was just about to take its life when he suddenly felt a chill on his back. Something was coming at him.
He immediately dodged and turned around to see a pale woman’s figure.
“Little Red, I’ll leave this to you.”
Zhou Chen immediately handed the matter of the female ghost to Little Red who was in his left ring. Little Red was not weak, and the sense of threat from this woman was not as strong as that of the red-dressed female ghost. Therefore, there was no problem handing it to her.
After receiving Zhou Chen’s order, Little Red immediately flew out of Zhou Chen’s golden ring and fought with the ghastly white figure.
Zhou Chen turned around and punched a thin figure that was trying to ambush him, sending it flying back faster than it arrived.
This thin and long figure was the evil entity that had disguised itself as He Jin. It had been beaten by Zhou Chen into revealing its original form, before being beaten again.
The battles became one-on-one duels. The outcome was clear. After a minute, the house returned to calm.
“Nothing dropped after killing these two evil entities. My luck is really bad.”
Zhou Chen had already beaten the thin evil entity into dregs, but he did not obtain any rewards or passive skills. It was the same on Little Red’s side as well.
He quickly composed himself and went out to find other evil entities in this Bizarre Village. When he passed by He Jin’s house, he saw the closed door open and a young man’s figure showed up.
“Brother Zhou, I’ll go with you.” He Jin looked at Zhou Chen from behind the door and said with a hopeful tone.
“Coming with me? This isn’t your style.”
Zhou Chen immediately looked at him. Although he could tell through his Bloodthirst that this was an actual person and not an evil entity, he was still a little puzzled.
“Brother Zhou, three evil entities have already tried to intrude. I feel that it will be very dangerous to continue hiding. I hope you can allow me to follow you. I can even be a bait to lure evil entities.” He Jin looked at Zhou Chen and said sincerely.
“You’re really something.” Zhou Chen couldn’t help but smile when he heard this. Inwardly, he was thinking whether to allow him to follow or not.
But soon, an idea flashed in his mind. He looked at He Jin and asked, “I have a way to make you have the ability to fight the evil entities, but you have to pay a price. Are you willing?”
Zhou Chen wanted to test the bizarre coffin on He Jin. This item was useless to him; its strength increase to him would be negative. However, he did not want to waste this thing just like that, so he wanted to test its exact effect.
“Brother Zhou, can you tell me in detail about what you are going to do and what price I have to pay?” He Jin was a little surprised by Zhou Chen’s sudden suggestion. Although he trusted Zhou Chen, he wanted to understand more before making a decision.
“I am going to use a tool to evilize your body. You can choose partial evilization or complete evilization.” Zhou Chen was not going to force him, so he explained everything properly.
After the short explanation, He Jin fell into a short silence. Then, he came to a decision, “Brother Zhou, I choose the intermediate complete evilization.”
Zhou Chen was surprised as he looked at He Jin’s calm expression.
He had originally thought that with this young man’s cautious character, there was a high chance that he would refuse or choose partial evilization. Unexpectedly, he had a huge appetite and directly chose the intermediate level complete evilization, which consumed ten years of his life.
Seeing the surprise in Zhou Chen’s eyes, He Jin explained his reason, “Brother Zhou, no man can resist the temptation of strength, even if there is a price to pay for this strength. If not for the fact that 40 years of lifespan consumption is too high, I would have chosen the high level complete evilization. In fact, I’ve long been tired of these days where I can only hide from evil entities. Being able to fight evil entities like you, Brother Zhou, is my greatest wish.”
“Fine.”
Zhou Chen took out a black coffin from his inventory and placed it in He Jin’s room, before opening the coffin lid.
“Enter. You need to lie down for a day for the mid-level complete evilization. As to which evil entity’s strength you get, it will depend on your luck.”
When He Jin saw such a large coffin suddenly appear, not only did he not hesitate, but his gaze became even more determined as he quickly lay down.
Zhou Chen closed the lid for him and activated the corresponding modification ability of the bizarre coffin.
“I feel like a hoodlum who is deceiving people into lying in coffins. I hope he can get a useful ability.”
Zhou Chen was also looking forward to the transformation. After all, he had never tested it before.
After activating the bizarre coffin, Zhou Chen saw that the entire coffin was covered in a faint black aura. There were some strange sounds coming from inside, as well as screams.
“Looks like this modification is quite painful.”
Zhou Chen ignored the screams and summoned Little Red.
“Little Red, guard this coffin. If any evil entities come, kill them. If any humans come, chase them away. I’ll be back later.”
Zhou Chen could not store the bizarre coffin in his inventory space when it was being used, so he asked Little Red to help watch it. He was going to search for evil entities to see if he could gain anything.
Along the way, he sensed some apartment residents hiding in their houses, but he did not see any evil entities. He came to the other end of the Bizarre Village, where the five strange people lived.
He was interested in the five of them and hoped to discover something here.
After searching and sensing for a while, he realized that only two of the five people were there. They were the black-clawed man and the old lady. The other three were nowhere to be seen.
“Where did this Bizarre Village take half of the people? Don’t tell me they were killed. How long has it been?”
While thinking, Zhou Chen pushed open a door because he sensed that something was wrong.
After pushing the door open, he saw the ordinary-looking black-clawed man facing a disgusting-looking blood-red humanoid figure.
The humanoid figure looked posed to attack the black-clawed man, but the black-clawed man raised his evilized left hand to show that he was not afraid of it.
When this blood-red thing approached the black-clawed man, the latter even slowly walked over to meet it.
“The people of the Hell Theater are really different. They are so brave even against evil entities.”
Zhou Chen, who had just entered, was immediately interested when he saw this scene. He was looking forward to watching this fight.
However, he was soon speechless. The black-clawed man approached the blood-red humanoid evil entity and then ran at it with a fierce momentum. Then, he suddenly changed the direction of his charge and jumped out of the window.
The evil entity that was expecting a fight also realized that it had been deceived. It immediately moved toward the window to chase after the man.
Zhou Chen couldn’t help but shake his head. Then, he immediately attacked the evil entity from behind. Since the others could not fight the evil entities, he would do it himself.
After launching a sneak attack, Zhou Chen quickly attracted the attention of the blood-red evil entity. He then realized that this monster was corporeal and was immediately overjoyed. He punched it.
After a while, Zhou Chen destroyed the evil entity and heard the system’s announcement.
[You have killed the Evil Red. Reward: Bizarre Dress.]
[Bizarre Dress
Type: Low Silver item
Your damage, defense, and speed will increase by 20% after wearing this bizarre dress, but it will be very difficult for you to take it off unless you tear off your own skin.]
“The effect of this dress is not bad, but the disadvantage is a little strange.”
Zhou Chen took out the dress from his inventory. He realized that the dress was pure red in color. Besides having a dress in the name, it looked more like the skin of a human.
“This thing is too ugly. If it was a bit more normal, I could accept wearing it all the time.”
After checking it, Zhou Chen threw it back into his inventory.
Then, he looked in a certain direction behind him and said in a deep voice, “You two, stop hiding. Come out.”
Just as he said that, two figures walked out of the corner. They were the black-clawed youth and the pale-skinned old woman.
“Why were you two secretly observing me?”
The black-clawed youth immediately smiled and replied, “We were just worried about your fight with that evil entity, so we stayed nearby to support you. But your strength is astonishing, you didn’t even need our help.”
“Hehe.” Zhou Chen chuckled.
“Do you know of any other evil entities? Take me there.”
“Sorry, sir.” The old woman replied in her hoarse voice. “We haven’t left this area. We haven’t seen any other evil entities.”
“Alright, if you discover any evil entities, you can lead them to me.”
“Okay, we will definitely inform you if we discover evil entities.”
They seemed to be a little overwhelmed by Zhou Chen’s instructions, and did not show any hostility towards him because of the previous farce with the blood-eyed man.
“Okay.”
Zhou Chen did not attack these two. He still had a bottom line. If others spoke nicely and did not provoke him, he would not attack for no reason.
After leaving this place, Zhou Chen moved around the Bizarre Village and found two more evil entities. One of them was a corporeal evil entity. After being killed by him, it dropped low silver Corpse Poison passive skill. The other was an evil spirit. He spent a lot of effort to destroy it, and obtained low silver Freeze passive skill.
Zhou Chen spent the entire day searching for evil entities and helping many people resolve their crisis. It was not until the next morning that he returned to his residence to check the situation with the bizarre coffin.
“It’s about time for He Jin’s transformation to finish.”
Zhou Chen was looking forward to He Jin’s current state. He had yet to see how a complete evilization would look like.
He called back Little Red and guarded the place personally.
When it was time, he opened the bizarre coffin and saw He Jin lying in it with a pale face and closed eyes, looking very peaceful.
“His blood isn’t flowing. Did he die?” Zhou Chen felt that something was wrong when he saw He Jin’s expression.
But soon, He Jin opened his eyes and slowly sat up.
“Brother Zhou, I’ve obtained the strength of a zombie. I feel that I’m invulnerable.”
After completing the transformation, He Jin was a little excited..
