Expose You

"Monster! There's a monster over there!!!" The man scrambled to his feet and fled back to his girlfriend's side in a panic. "That thing was crawling on the ground on all fours! Then, in a flash, it just vanished!"

The woman was obviously terrified by her boyfriend's words, shivering as she spoke, "W-what are you talking about? It's broad daylight, where would a monster come from?"

Qiu Ya was also a bit confused. "Monster?"

She looked at Ye Chuan beside her. "Little brother, don't be afraid. He's probably just joking."

Ye Chuan, however, remained perfectly calm.

Having monsters is a good thing.

It would be weird if there weren't any monsters.

"Having monsters is a good thing," Ye Chuan said, his words causing Qiu Ya to freeze.

Is... is it a good thing?

"There really is a monster! I-I don't want to stay in this carriage! I-I want to get off!" The man had lost all of his previous arrogance. His face pale as a sheet, he walked quickly toward the opposite end of the carriage.

However, just as he prepared to push the door open, perhaps due to the psychological shadow from earlier, the man glanced out through the glass window—

It was equally empty over there. There was no one in the seats on either side of the aisle.

Nor was there any drunkard lying on the floor.

Fortunately, no monster.

But the moment the man pulled the door open, a hand suddenly shot out from the side, choking him in a vice-like grip, and violently yanked him into the blind spot!

Immediately following this was the sickening sound of chewing, accompanied by the man's miserable screams!

"Hnnnggghhh aaahhhh—"

The temperature inside the carriage seemed to drop to the freezing point in an instant. The woman's eyes went wide with horror; she clamped her hands over her mouth, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Hearing her boyfriend's screams, fear surged like a tidal wave, completely drowning her. Her legs went soft, and she nearly collapsed to the floor.

"W-what is happening?!"

Finally, even the usually thick-nerved Qiu Ya turned pale as paper. Her originally rosy lips were now bloodless, and her teeth chattered uncontrollably.

She looked around in a panic, seemingly searching for any possible shelter.

In the end, Qiu Ya threw her arms around Ye Chuan. "Little brother, w-what exactly is going on? I'm so scared..."

Ye Chuan broke free from Qiu Ya's embrace, but she hugged him even tighter.

Her chest wasn't large, but her strength was surprisingly great.

He looked toward the tightly closed carriage door, pondering the pattern of the monster's appearance and method of attack.

When the tunnel appeared earlier, only normal passengers showed up. Now a monster had suddenly popped up. Was some special condition triggered?

Forget it, might as well go take a look.

"I'm going to go check it out. You stay right here; don't wander off."

Ye Chuan walked directly toward the closed carriage door.

He certainly wasn't afraid of any monster.

The monster should be the one afraid of him.

After all, he was Brother Fish-Bomber.

Its days were numbered!

When he arrived at the carriage door, the hair-raising chewing and screaming sounds had already ceased, leaving only a deathly silence.

Ye Chuan pulled the door open and looked in the direction where the man had just been dragged—

A thick scent of blood assaulted his senses, causing Ye Chuan to instinctively frown.

The carriage was a mess. The floor was covered in blood and minced meat. The man's body had been torn asunder, leaving only a pile of indistinct flesh and gore. The scene was too ghastly to behold.

Ye Chuan shook his head.

Couldn't even die a bit further away, leaving things all black and blue... no, more like bits and pieces scattered everywhere.

Ye Chuan's gaze swept quickly across the carriage, searching for traces of the monster, but found the carriage empty. Only the door leading to the next carriage swayed gently with the motion of the train, making a creaking sound.

Ye Chuan lifted his leg and walked straight toward that door.

Just as he was about to step over the threshold—a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the corner of the adjacent carriage. It was incredibly fast, like a black bolt of lightning.

Ye Chuan merely sneered, his body shifting rapidly backward as he simultaneously struck out with his palm.

The black shadow, just before making contact with Ye Chuan, suddenly changed direction and charged toward Qiu Ya!

Qiu Ya screamed in terror. Her body instinctively wanted to dodge, but she was frozen in place by fear.

"Did I say you could leave?" Ye Chuan finished his sentence just as a spell materialized instantly, transforming into a ring that bound the black shadow in place!

The black shadow's appearance was fully revealed, and Ye Chuan realized it was the drunkard uncle from earlier.

However, the drunkard was now wrapped in mysterious black fleshy tissue. His limbs were twisted at grotesque angles. Furthermore, his eyes were nothing but whites, and tree-root-like black veins pulsed on his skin, making for a truly terrifying sight.

"Argh..."

But no matter how he struggled, he could not escape the binding power of Ye Chuan.

"It... it's that uncle from before!" Seeing that the drunkard had actually turned into a monster, Qiu Ya was so frightened she fainted on the spot.

The woman from the couple looked as if she had seen a ghost. Not only had her boyfriend been killed, but now a monster had appeared, and a five or six-year-old child had trapped it using some strange magic.

"I-I must be dreaming. Yes, definitely dreaming," the woman muttered, shrinking into the corner.

Ye Chuan ignored Qiu Ya and the woman. He walked up to the monster, noting the strange black flesh attached to its body.

Ye Chuan reached out his hand toward it. The flesh seemed to melt, dissolving continuously once it came within a certain distance.

"Ah, aaah," the drunkard roared at Ye Chuan.

"Shut up, can't you?" Ye Chuan glanced at him after failing to find any useful information. In the next second, under the contraction of Ye Chuan's power, the drunkard's body instantly exploded into a mist of blood!

Ye Chuan had been weakened by the rules of the weird world, but that didn't mean just anyone was stronger than him.

If you think you're stronger than me?

Then I'm sorry.

I'll summon Lilith.

The world-ending nuke is right in my hand.

"Ahhh!!!!!!!!" Just as Ye Chuan casually obliterated the monster, the woman from the couple suddenly screamed, her voice somewhat piercing.

"You... what kind of monster are you?" she looked at Ye Chuan in horror.

A child...

No, this is no child!

"I am not a monster. I just happen to be able to deal with this kind of monster," Ye Chuan said calmly.

"If you have that kind of ability, why didn't you save my boyfriend?!" the woman immediately shouted in rage. "Why?! I-I'm definitely going to sue you! You're an accomplice! You could have killed that monster so easily!"

"Why didn't you save him?!"

"I'm going to post you on social media! I'll expose you!"

Ye Chuan: "..."

"So your boyfriend died, but why aren't you dead?" Ye Chuan extended his hand and struck out with a palm.

"Audacious monster! You actually used a lover's quarrel to lure your boyfriend out to be killed by a beast!"

"I'm going to 'expose' you too!"

With that, the woman was blasted apart by Ye Chuan's palm strike.
