Chapter 64 It's just a speed bump, watch me run it over.
The incident happened so suddenly that David had no time to react before Mordy grabbed him and rushed him out of the hospital.
Then, he watched in bewilderment as Modi leaped and darted across the rooftops of various houses.
Behind them were endless pursuers of cultists, a dark mass that kept growing and almost took over the entire street.
"Am I insane, or is the world insane?"
He didn't flinch at passersby on the street, letting the cultists walk right through him—literally.
"These pursuers don't seem to bother the pedestrians on the street, but why?"
"They are probably not physical entities," Mordy replied briefly, "They can affect us, but have no effect on others."
At least this way we don't have to worry about accidentally harming civilians.
"Similarly, only we can influence them."
He raised his hand and fired a shot, the blood-red flames instantly engulfing a large number of pursuers behind him.
"What should we do next?" David was also firing backwards, but it wasn't very effective.
There were just too many pursuers behind them; their numbers seemed endless.
A mere pistol is hardly a match for what's available.
"Find my car first, then we'll get out of Orlando."
Modi was very fast. After all, he had learned many martial arts on Earth, including a movement technique called "Mysterious Step".
Although he practiced it incorrectly as usual, turning it into the "Blood Shadow Step," it was even more unpredictable than the original.
When he ran, he was like a blood-red shadow, and his pursuers couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes.
They could only watch helplessly as the distance between them gradually widened.
"Could this be the mysterious power of the East?" David was extremely shocked.
He had heard from the Global Anomaly Alliance that there were extraordinary individuals called "Taoists" in that great Eastern country.
Not only can they exorcise demons, but they can also scale walls and leap across rooftops.
Could this Level 5 investigator be one of them?
"Almost there, we've arrived. Let's run before they catch up."
Modi tossed him into the car, got into the driver's seat himself, started the engine, and drove out of town.
He thought he wouldn't encounter any obstacles on the road, but he clearly underestimated the determination of the person behind the scenes.
Just as we were about to drive through a narrow alley, a monster suddenly darted out from it.
It resembled a skeleton with eight arms, and it was none other than the one Modi had encountered.
The eight-armed skeleton leaped forward and landed directly in front of the windshield. Its eight arms were outstretched, and its terrifying skull head pressed against the glass, baring its teeth as if to intimidate the two.
David was immediately startled, while Mordy, who was used to seeing all sorts of things, was much more direct.
He gripped the steering wheel with one hand, while the other transformed into a scaled dragon claw.
He clenched his claws into a fist and struck out fiercely.
The car's windshield was immediately shattered, and the eight-armed skeleton took the full force of the punch.
The force was so great that even its lower jawbone was knocked to one side.
But it's not over yet.
Modi quickly transformed his fist into a claw, grabbed the skull, and pulled it in forcefully.
He pulled the skull into the car, and taking the opportunity, he freed up his other hand, made a knife shape with his fingers, and chopped it down.
In an instant, the eight-armed skeleton was decapitated.
"Tsk tsk tsk, what a fine head, really a fine head, perfect for making jewelry."
With one hand grabbing the skull that was trying to bite, Modi clicked his tongue in amazement.
Even though its head and body were separated, the skull could still move, while its body remained motionless and was flung to the side of the road.
Looking in the rearview mirror, he saw the eight-armed skeleton's body slowly disappearing, while the skull remained.
"This is a good opportunity to investigate the connection between this monster and the cult's clones."
Modi was multitasking, keeping his eyes glued to the skull while driving.
The spiritual sense, in conjunction with the eye of the soul, scanned it relentlessly.
"It has no soul and no spirituality whatsoever. It appears to have a physical body, but it is not."
Like those cult clones, they are a kind of mind monster.
As he was pondering, David beside him suddenly screamed, "Look ahead! Look ahead!"
"I'm watching, don't make a sound." He said calmly, "It's just a bunch of speed bumps, right? I'll just run them over."
A magical light flashed at his fingertips, and he stepped on the gas.
The engine roared, propelling the car forward with even greater power.
With the magical enhancement, the car became faster and more sturdy.
It plunged headlong into the cultists blocking its path, its steel body striking flesh and blood.
Those who blocked the road were either hit by cars or run over.
Someone tried to shoot at it, but the bullets were deflected by the magically enhanced car body, and instead accidentally injured their own people.
And so, the car carved a bloody path, and was about to drive out of the town.
But under the town's road sign, a handsome blond man appeared, smiling as he stared intently at the car driving towards him.
He saw Modi in the car, and Modi saw him too.
"What bad luck."
This man, using some unknown method, managed to gradually slow the car down.
Finally, it stopped less than a meter away from him.
Before the blond man could speak, Modi kicked open the car door and cleaved him in two with a single sword stroke.
"It's useless. Everything you're doing here is a waste of time."
His split mouth moved, and even though he was cut in two, he could still speak.
"I exist in your minds; in a sense, I am two sides of the same coin as you."
I know what you're thinking. For example, Mormontes, I know your true identity.
The man who had been split in two suddenly disappeared, but another Modi emerged from the shadows behind the road sign.
He carried the same greatsword as Frostbite on his back and held a Dragonfire Hunting Rifle in his hand, declaring with unwavering conviction:
"You are the ace of the Global Anomaly Alliance, a Level 5 Investigator. Your mission is to enter the Black Forest and investigate whether there is a Gate to Hell there."
Modi remained silent, only narrowing his eyes.
His thoughts were instantly captured by the mind monster.
"Your favorite girl? Of course, I know that."
Bypassing the shadows, the mind monster transformed into a petite, white-haired girl.
"Your late teacher, Devialeta, you long to see her again day and night, don't you?"
The white-haired girl smiled, a sweet smile.
Modi laughed too, but it was a cold laugh.
"Of course, I'd love to kill her a second time."
As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward and instantly arrived in front of the girl, the sacrificial axe in his hand suddenly falling.
A flash of cold light, and a line of blood spread from top to bottom.
The white-haired girl followed in the footsteps of the blond man and was split vertically in two.
A moment later, her body disappeared, and another Mordi emerged from the roadside.
"Why would you do this?" he asked, his eyes filled with doubt. "You should really like her, you probably think so right now."
Modi remained silent and swung his axe at the imposter, who then drew his greatsword to block the axe.
"And what's wrong with this axe? Why can't I copy it?"
The mind monster kept asking questions, its tone full of curiosity.
Just like a child seeing something new and exciting.
"Of course you can't replicate it. How could a mere mind monster compare to a demon god who transcends the mortal realm?"
Modi remained silent, but in that instant, a multitude of thoughts flashed through his mind.
"What? You like Celia instead of Devian? Wait, what happened again?"
The ever-changing thoughts greatly shocked the thought monster, as it had never encountered such a situation before.
For it, the secrets deep in people's hearts are not difficult to see; it often finds them accurately.
However, this time it failed with Modi, not only failing to find the girl he truly liked, but also being fooled by his various ideas.
"It's fake, it's all fake, you're deceiving me, how did you do that?!"
For the first time, it got angry.
Modi remained silent, continuing his relentless attack.
He has cracked part of the secrets of this mind monster.
The mind monsters, cult clones, and eight-armed skeletons before him were all inextricably linked to the minds of him, David, and all the townspeople.
It can be said that their thoughts and ideas together created these mental monsters.
Therefore, this monster dared to claim that it knew all his thoughts.
But it overlooked one point, which is the seed of the soul.
It didn't even discover the existence of this strange object, let alone break through its barrier and explore the true thoughts deep in Modi's mind.
You don't know my real name, nor do you know my identity or my purpose.
This thought was deliberately released by him and captured by the mind monster.
"What? Mormontis, isn't that your real name?"
This unknown almost drove the mind monster mad; by its very nature, it could not tolerate anyone having secrets in front of it.
"What is your identity and purpose? Tell me, tell me everything now!"
In that moment of hesitation, it was seized by Modi.
The sacrificial axe slashed the greatsword away, and at the same time, he replaced the pages with pre-configured entries.
[Transcendent - Frostwing Shadow - Niflheim]
[Dragon's Power, Ice Dragon's Blood, Ice Mist, Arrogance, Madness, Boiling Killing Intent, Bloodthirst]
Some time ago, he used his own power to complete the unfinished Ice Dragon Page.
Now is the time for it to come in handy.
The next moment, Modi's size suddenly increased.
Perhaps because the pages of the book were so powerful, influencing the seed of the mind, this distortion was unlike any before.
A thick, long dragon tail grew from his back, along with a pair of dragon wings. His head, limbs, and torso also transformed into those of a giant dragon.
The transformation lasted for two to three seconds. Fortunately, the mind monster was distracted and did not take the opportunity to attack.
By the time it realized what was happening, it was too late.
The gluttonous ice dragon that Modi had transformed into was already starving and thirsty.
He opened his mouth wide, and the dragon's head, with its thick, long antlers, along with its neck, chest, and abdomen, split into four pieces, each covered with sharp teeth and fangs.
The dragon's arrogance, Devia's madness, Ed's murderous intent, Etis's thirst for blood, and the Wendigo bloodline combined to create this twisted monster.
Under the oppressive power of the gluttonous ice dragon, the mind monster felt threatened with death.
This forced it to reveal its true nature.
It was a lump of dark, slimy liquid, desperately trying to escape away from the gluttonous ice dragon.
