Chapter 832 -463: Reaper’s Doomsday_2
…
In Japan’s Great Capital, M&R City.
Inside a civilian residence with front and back yards, two pairs of men’s cloth shoes were placed at the entrance leading to the main house. At this moment, in the living room of the civilian house, sat a fifty-year-old lean middle-aged man, kneeling by the side of a small wooden table.
In front of him, a young man holding a katana was scanning the room, the katana in his hands emitting bursts of black mist, ready to strike at any moment.
The lean middle-aged man was none other than Kurosawa Tsuyoshi, who was observing his disciple performing an exorcism, yet the strangeness in this room was extremely unusual.
Even though Kurosawa Tsuyoshi was a Reaper-level Exorcist, he still couldn’t accurately pin down the source of the strangeness through his magnetic field perception.
The strangeness in this room was dubbed “Multi-limbed Being” by Kurosawa Tsuyoshi, because its limbs and body were mixed together like dough, kneaded into a lump, with several extra arms and legs sprawling out, looking exceptionally disgusting and terrifying.
At this moment, the sun was setting, and the room was not lit, falling into a hazy darkness.
But neither Kurosawa Tsuyoshi nor his disciple let their guard down. Within Kurosawa Tsuyoshi’s perception range, there was some disturbance near the living room’s entrance by the corridor.
He immediately alerted, “Kitahara, beware of your left side.”
The young man, named Daisuke Kitahara, immediately adjusted the katana to a defensive position, his gaze shifting towards the corridor outside.
At the same time, a bent and stained arm appeared at the doorway, bracing against the ground as if crawling, followed by two thighs stuck together, and above the thighs, another arm with broken knuckles.
Daisuke Kitahara promptly took a step back as more limbs revealed themselves in front of the door, with a lump of flesh in the middle, on either side of which were two small legs, one with a broken foot hanging.
And in that moment, a skewed head appeared below and at an angle to the calves; it was a man, his eyes wide open, his jaw skewed, and his limp tongue hanging out, swaying in the air.
The sight of the Multi-limbed Being completely overturned the Exorcist’s understanding of a typical strangeness, giving the impression that this creature was very likely an indescribable monster.
“Take action!” Kurosawa Tsuyoshi immediately admonished.
The katana engulfed in black mist slashed horizontally with full force. Daisuke Kitahara had put all his energy into this strike, and with the power boost from the strangeness harbored within him, his strength was ferociously enhanced by a trace of eeriness.
Thud!
The katana hit its target but got stuck halfway through. The Multi-limbed Being let out a shrill scream, reaching out and grabbing Daisuke Kitahara by the ankle, dragging him to the ground.
The other limbs converged, pummeling down on Daisuke’s body, each strike heavy and thundering.
Kurosawa Tsuyoshi did not step forward to help; he knew his disciple could extricate himself.
However, he did not notice that as the sunset was about to disappear, the darkness in the room was growing denser.
The darkest corner behind had become pitch-dark, slowly moving towards where Kurosawa Tsuyoshi was seated, like an incoming tide.
At that moment, Kitahara seized an opportunity to abruptly stand up, the strangeness fostered within him half emerging from his chest, nearly surging out, resembling a fierce woman’s figure.
The katana once again emitted a large surge of black mist, stabbing into the Multi-limbed Being’s head, penetrating through the lump of flesh, the blade’s tip touching the ground with a clang.
This was the seventh time Daisuke Kitahara had inflicted heavy damage on the Multi-limbed Being, but each time this monster would directly vanish, disappearing without a trace, only to reappear unscathed after a while.
This time, Kurosawa Tsuyoshi was not willing to give the Multi-limbed Being another chance to escape. Seeing that his disciple had succeeded, he immediately stood up, preparing to walk over.
The darkness behind him swept over in that instant, and a fat hand with melting flesh extended from the darkness, grabbing Kurosawa Tsuyoshi’s shoulder. The dissolving flesh fell onto his shoulder.
This flesh, as if corrosive, quickly ate through his shoulder, sinking into the meat and continuing its decay.
Kurosawa Tsuyoshi was both shocked and in pain; he had never expected that such a terrifying strangeness would appear behind him without his noticing. He quickly turned and gathered the magnetic field, releasing along with the strangeness within him a massive force that also unleashed the Reaper Forbidden Zone.
Boom, the fat strangeness behind him burst into pieces, but more of its fatty flesh splattered all over Kurosawa Tsuyoshi’s face and body.
Unbearable pain spread throughout his body, white smoke from corroded burning skin rose from him, and even under the influence of the Reaper Forbidden Zone, it couldn’t be stopped. Kurosawa Tsuyoshi screamed in agony.
Suddenly, a series of hehehe laughter came from the darkness ahead, and a voice whispered in his ear, “Sylvanus…”
A gaunt and slender arm reached out from the darkness, hooked around his shoulder, and yanked him in forcefully.
The darkness grew denser, like spilled ink, enveloping half of the living room, and Daisuke Kitahara, who was standing in the corridor, was completely terrified by the scene.
…
Yannan District.
This largest Spirit Bridge in Quanhuaying Great Capital appeared two months after the outbreak of strangenesses and has persisted to this day.
When it first appeared, the Spirit Bridge covered half of Guankou City in Yannan District, but at that time the Exorcist system was not fully established, resulting in many citizens not being able to escape.
The residents of the other half of the city were organized and evacuated in an orderly manner after Great Capital later began to respond.
Today’s Guankou City has become a Dead City, and as expected, the Spirit Bridge, which originally covered only half the city, has now extended to the entire city and shows a tendency to spread further.
This is also why the Spirit Bridge cannot be completely eradicated. It continues to grow, and this city already had a substantial population, so it never lacked for strangenesses.
Moreover, after being enhanced, the Spirit Bridge causes some senior-level strangenesses to appear over time, further making the number and power of the strangenesses uncontrollable.
Although Exorcists tirelessly deal with these strangenesses, the current situation is such that they can barely suppress, but not completely cleanse the Spirit Bridge from Guankou City.
Of course, to Junze today, this place might as well be called a treasure trove of strangenesses.
Since his arrival, he directly entered the area covered by the Spirit Bridge in Guankou City. Nearby Exorcists all received messages from their superiors, no one stopped him, and they even provided him some transportation convenience, lending an off-road vehicle for Junze to use.
During his exorcism within the Spirit Bridge, Junze first used Perception of Strange Events to locate high-level strangeness incidents, then marked them on the map and began eliminating them one by one.
In the process of exorcism, he made full use of the Black Spirit Umbrella combined with the Control Field, and sometimes when encountering troublesome strangenesses that couldn’t be reasoned with, he would summon the combination of the Crawler Monster and Zhuang Sisters, to crush these strangenesses directly.
After watching the combined assault by the Crawler Monster and Zhuang Sisters, Junze felt that if he wished, and if all three sisters possessed the Crawler Monster, the power they would wield within this Spirit Bridge would be unstoppable.
Of course, that’s if one doesn’t consider the increasing number of strangenesses.
After Junze had cleansed the most powerful strangenesses one by one in the Spirit Bridge, other Exorcists found that the Spirit Bridge enveloping Guankou City seemed to have begun to fade.
They were not sure if this was an illusion or something else, but they instinctively felt the pressure of exorcism lessen, only encountering some of the less powerful strangenesses.

Meanwhile, Junze was heading towards the last high-level strangeness currently detected in this the largest Spirit Bridge.
“In plain clothes, she hints the beauty of the city; her jade-like face still carries the moonlight,” Junze murmured to himself, reciting the lines he had seen in the mission information.
The surface of Guanshui River in Guankou City was calm, without a ripple, it was the only river running through the city and used to be a very popular tourist spot.
Even after all the city’s residents fled, the river water remained crystal clear, but at this moment, in the middle of the river, eerily stood a boat pavilion. The boat had clean decks, and the bright red lanterns swaying without wind gave off a ghostly sway.
The task description mentioned that there is a strangeness onboard the boat pavilion that is at least fifteen hundred years old.
