Chapter 2 Premonitions

Jason was dumbfounded as he watched a two-meter-long tentacle, glowing red in the dark and covered with barbs, extending out from the backpack like a snake, wrapping around a thin man.

One end of the tentacle was hidden in the schoolbag, and the base could not be seen clearly, while the other end penetrated deeply into the chest of a thin man, sucking and swallowing.

The front end of the tentacle swelled in a circle very rhythmically, and then sank to the end very quickly.

The man's face was full of pain, and every time the tentacles sucked or swallowed, he would let out a scream.

But what's even worse is that as the tentacle sucks and swallows, at the root of the tentacle, another brand-new, chopstick-thick tentacle emerges staggeringly from the opened backpack, as if

He waved his arms at Jason to say hello and said hello.

But at this moment, Jason was only shocked. He didn't think that the new tentacle was just greeting him.

Even though Jason kept telling himself to calm down, his body was still shaking slightly.

Ever since he came to the "City That Never Sleeps" for no apparent reason, Jason has firmly believed in the existence of the mysterious side, and has tried to search for it in order to "go home", but he has found nothing. He told himself that it was just bad luck, or he didn't find the right one.

direction, no need to be discouraged.

But suddenly, when the real 'mystery' appeared, he found it difficult to accept it for a while.

But this did not give any pause to Jason's next actions.

Countless simulation exercises enabled him to close the car door without hesitation.

As for shooting?

He had no confidence that he could hit the thin tentacles.

And choose the thick one?

He didn't think it would be a good idea to interrupt the other person's eating at this time.

The most important thing is that even without shooting, Jason has a better and safer solution.

Turning off the safety of the gun and inserting it into his back, Jason turned around and quickly opened the nearby car's fuel tank. A cloth strip he had prepared long ago was pulled out of his jacket pocket and inserted into the fuel tank.

When the lighter ignited the cloth, Jason turned around and ran away.

Although it was the first time in reality, Jason knew exactly what would happen next.

The newly born monster in the car seemed to feel the crisis and began to slap the car window crazily.

Snap, snap!

After just two blows, cracks appeared on the bulletproof glass specially installed by Jason.

But, it's still too late.

boom!

The flames erupted from the fuel tank mouth and instantly enveloped the entire car.

The deflagration was similar to an explosion, and the flames shot up into the sky, lighting up the night sky. Jason ran forward without looking back. He didn't even notice a dazzling little fireball flying up from the flames.

Flying straight towards him.

It's that thick tentacle!

But unlike what Jason had seen before, this tentacle was not only scorched black in the flames, but also dried up and shrunk, and its length was less than five centimeters.

However, even this does not hinder the survival and revenge instincts of living things.

laugh!

Jason didn't react at all, and the flaming tentacle pierced his left forearm. Amidst the pain of burning flesh and the smell of burning, Jason's brachioradialis was immediately pierced several times.

"ah!"

With a scream, Jason turned over and fell to the ground.

The charred tentacle, which had lost most of its body in the flames, was squirming, trying to completely sink into Jason's left arm while sucking in fresh flesh and blood.

Jason finally understood why the man screamed so miserably just now.

Because, every bite is a heart-wrenching pain.

Jason raised his intact right hand and grabbed the exposed section of the tentacle, trying to pull it out.

But it’s no use at all!

The charred tentacle seemed to be integrated with his left arm.

Not only did the pain increase when he pulled it, but there was also a feeling of weakness that hit his nerves like a tide.

Jason knew very well that if he continued like this, he would soon die from excessive blood loss.

He doesn't want to die yet!

Everyone is afraid of death, and Jason is no exception.

Therefore, Jason chose the most powerful weapon on his body at the moment...teeth!

He opened his mouth wide, showed his strong teeth, and bit at the end of the tentacle.

laugh!

Contrary to Jason's expectation, the tentacles, which were hard to the touch, were very soft under his teeth, just like a ham sausage, and the taste was not bad, and the juice had a slight umami taste, a bit like

Grilled sea cucumber.

but!

Jason swore he had never eaten anything so delicious!

Whether in my hometown where I have no worries about food and clothing, or in a city that never sleeps.

Delicious like never before!

Such an ugly monster... can be so delicious?

With surprise in his heart, Jason swallowed it instinctively.

A warm current rose from his stomach and quickly spread throughout his body.

Immediately, in front of his retina, lines of text began to appear——

[Predator talent...activate!]

【Swallowing Swagnu's Touch!】

[Small recovery from injuries!]

[Satiety +2]

[Predator: Certain 'foods' will never appear in ordinary people's diets, but you are different. Your soul from another world makes you so different. For you, there is no 'food' that cannot be eaten——

Invasive species? Sorry, here I only have endangered species that have been eaten to several levels! Effect: When swallowing 'abnormal food', you will gain corresponding satiety, and use satiety to accomplish some incredible things]



As the text appeared, the wound on Jason's arm returned to its original state within a breath.

What's going on with the text in front of you?

Predator?

The talent brought by the soul from another world?!

The unexpected unfolding surprised Jason.

But before he could understand what was happening, the door of No. 19 Tell Street not far away opened.

The temporary employer with a gun walked out quickly.

The gun in the opponent's hand was pointed at him.

And, without hesitation, he pulled the trigger.

boom!

When the opponent pointed his gun at him, Jason jumped to one side, but the opponent's marksmanship was excellent. He still hit Jason at a distance of more than 20 meters and Jason was moving quickly.

However, it's not critical.

Just shoulders.

Jason felt numbness in his right shoulder, followed by burning pain.

Moreover, the next moment, such pain spread throughout his body, and Jason stumbled and fell to the ground.

Tread, step.

Footsteps sounded from behind.

Jason struggled to twist his body, and he finally got a clear look at the temporary employer holding a gun.

Under the black hooded sweatshirt, a hockey mask completely covered his face, revealing only his eyes without any emotion, just like the opponent's hand holding the gun, firm and without any tremors.

The temporary employer pointed the gun at Jason's chest again and pulled the trigger.

Bang, bang.

Two shots.

One shot in the left and right chests.

Jason fell straight to the ground, as if dead.

Anyone subjected to such a shooting would surely die.

Whether your heart is on the left side or unusually on the right side.

Jason thinks so.

This temporary employer thinks so too.

Therefore, the temporary employer pulled up Jason's trousers, turned around with confidence, and prepared to drag Jason back to No. 19.

Jason, who was being dragged and about to die, stared at the text that appeared in front of his retina with his eyes wide open.

【Suffering fatal attack...】

[Consume satiety for treatment...]

[The amount of satiety is insufficient!]

[It is judged that it cannot be completely treated!]

【Choose maximum treatment!】

【Under treatment...】

[Recover from severe injuries!]



After a series of words, Jason, who had already smelled the breath of death, felt like he was alive again.

The pain is still there!

Death is far away!

He looked at the figure dragging him from the back. Without any struggle, he maintained his previous posture and allowed the other person to drag him. Then, he slowly pulled out the pistol inserted in his waist, trying his best not to make any sound.

A little noise.

Then, he turned on the safety, aimed at the opponent, and pulled the trigger——

boom!
