Looking inward from outside this anomalous domain, the street appeared calm and normal, but the faint sounds emanating from within made one involuntarily want to enter.
"Put on your headphones, and make sure not to drop them."
"Yes."
Everyone put on specially-made headphones to block out the noise. While hearing this noise wouldn't imdiately infect them into anomalies, prolonged exposure would likely affect them.
Bai Ling walked in seemingly unaffected. For her, this level of ntal attack was far inferior to the Blood Witch's whispers.
Upon entering this anomaly, Bai Ling only felt it was quite noisy, with noise everywhere. Everyone followed her deeper inside.
Just then, a man with a bloody, mangled head appeared by the roadside. His head had already transford into an irregular shape. The mont he approached everyone, he suddenly extended a massive bloody maw from his neck, like a mouth that could devour a cow, lunging toward the group.
Chi Xiaoyu and Bai Ling were first to act. Chi Xiaoyu used her blade to block the anomaly's giant mouth while Bai Ling slashed from the side with a blood-red light, severing his neck.
After having his head cut off, the man didn't die but slowly stood up. Seeing this, Chi Xiaoyu swung two more strikes, severing his limbs.
Just when everyone thought this anomaly was dead, the limbless, headless body parts on the ground began to slowly writhe, gradually crawling toward them.
"What the hell is this thing?"
"So disgusting."
Su Wanying threw out a cluster of black flas, incinerating the body parts.
"Such strong vitality."
The group continued advancing toward the city center, slowly approaching the hotel at the very center. The closer they got to the hotel, the more infected people there were around. When they were only a few hundred ters from the hotel, the surrounding anomalies began to differ from before.
The anomaly before them had a bloody maw full of countless sharp teeth running from neck to waist across their chest. Their head sprouted several tentacles like flower petals, constantly swaying and exploring the surroundings. They had no eyes and could only sense their environnt through the head tentacles, continuously ramming into surrounding pillars with their head.
"What kind of monster is this?"
"Wasn't it supposed to be infection-type anomalies caused by the pianist? How did the infection produce this thing? It's so ugly."
"If corpse anomalies from tainted objects are left unmanaged for too long, would they also beco like this?"
"This one looks really strong." Ye Luo retreated fearfully behind everyone. She regretted being so eager to co along - this monster was terrifying.
While everyone was whispering, the monster seed to sense sothing and suddenly extended its tentacles, striking the ground. Everyone imdiately stopped making noise and slowly retreated.
The monster kept groping around, but after finding nothing, it continued ramming into surrounding buildings, constantly making noise.
Chi Xiaoyu gestured to Su Wanying, who nodded.
Chi Xiaoyu's body blazed with lightning, her blade coated with Su Wanying's black flas. Using the Thunder Anomaly's technique - Lightning Flash, ti seed to stop for an instant. Chi Xiaoyu traced an arc of light, slashing at the anomaly before returning to her original position.
When everyone ca to their senses, they found the anomaly engulfed in black flas, constantly slapping around with its tentacles trying to find its attacker. But no matter how much it flailed, it couldn't find anyone, since its attacker had already retreated dozens of ters away.
"Is it dead?"
As the anomaly died, the black flas gradually dissipated.
"There are too many anomalies around. Let's go directly into that hotel - I can sense the source is inside."
Everyone followed Su Wanying to the hotel entrance. This was a luxuriously decorated hotel. The mont they stepped inside, the boy forcefully pressed down on the piano keys, producing a trendous sound that sent out ripples of sonic waves.
"Listen, what beautiful music."
"Why do you all look so angry? Are you dissatisfied with my music?"
Since everyone was wearing headphones, they couldn't hear what the boy was saying. The boy frowned and slowly stood up, walking toward them.
"It seems there are still picky custors."
"If you can't appreciate my music, I'm also sowhat skilled in martial arts."
The thin boy's body began to expand, instantly transforming into a tall anomaly with a mouth like piano keys. His figure was bizarre yet elegant, standing two ters tall. He held a conductor's baton, and as he waved it, ripples appeared on the ground. Whether walls or ceiling, everything danced under his direction, constantly changing positions to attack everyone.
Block after block of square wall sections moved rapidly, crashing into everyone and producing trendous noise. The surrounding anomalies also began gathering toward this location.
Su Wanying drew her black fla blade, continuously cutting through the flying wall sections. But the mont one wall section was cut open, the anomaly's mouth keys suddenly began to move, and the wall instantly shattered into musical note fragnts that shot toward Su Wanying. Fortunately, Su Wanying reacted quickly and wrapped herself in black flas.
As the anomaly's mouth keys continued to move, building after building shattered into musical note fragnts shooting toward everyone.
Bai Ling seized the opportunity to approach the anomaly, condensing a blood-red sphere in her hand and charging forward, colliding with the anomaly's body.
With a crisp sound, the anomaly's body developed a large hole. Its body was like a piano - hollow in the center. The damaged body continuously emitted noise.
The surrounding infected anomalies all moved toward him, and upon contact, they transford into his flesh and blood, instantly healing his wounds.
Su Wanying summoned fla pillars from the ground, continuously spreading toward the anomaly. Just as they were about to strike, the anomaly suddenly raised his conductor's baton high, and the ground suddenly rose up into a tall mountain, blocking the fla pillar attack.
"Continue the music, continue dancing!"
The pianist anomaly continuously directed the surrounding anomalies with his baton. They suddenly began smashing their heads against the ground, repeating this action in unified rhythm. The pianist anomaly's mouth keys kept moving, and as those anomalies' bodies cracked open, flesh and blood reorganized and rged together. A massive piano made of flesh and blood slowly rose from the ground.
The anomaly slowly walked toward the flesh and blood piano, tremblingly raising his hands.
"Finally, success! This is the requiem I bring you!"
As his fingers continuously played on the piano, strong and powerful noise rang out. His aura beca increasingly formidable. A ripple shook outward, sending everyone flying. Bai Ling, who was closest to the piano, was violently thrown against the wall, smashing a large crater and getting buried under falling debris.
"I am the death singer, a mad pianist."
Bai Ling, buried under the building debris in the distance, transford into a blood light and flew out, unable to help but complain.
"Hey, so you know you're crazy?"
