Traveler of the River of Time and Space-Chapter 485 - 10: Tokyo Blackout 2

Inside the hotel.

Hysterical screams constantly echoed from the darkness, accompanied by the sound of stumbling collisions and the dull thud of heavy objects falling.

The sound gradually faded in the hallway.

"Master Su."

"The barrier has been set up. No mortals will intrude." The Needlewoman followed, bringing along the Child Ghost.

Su Ziyu nodded slightly, squatting down to inspect the two female corpses in the corner. They were likely hotel employees, with bite marks on their necks, having been dead for some time.

The elevator bore blood stains. Su Ziyu raised his hand, and with a single point from afar, the elevator opened with a hum. A large surge of fresh blood flowed out, revealing a pile of about a dozen corpses inside, both male and female, their expressions of terror unspeakable, as if each tried to escape but were mercilessly slaughtered. All the wounds were inflicted by sharp claws, killing them in a single strike, offering no chance for resistance.

"Pollutant detected."

At this moment, the warning sound of the Space-Time Monitor System rung out.

In Su Ziyu’s view, a blood-soaked woman crawled out from the mound of bodies, her head a gruesome twisted mass of flesh that was squirming and rapidly regenerating, instantly forming the silhouette of a woman’s face. However, a closer look revealed that the body beneath the head was mutilated, seemingly a conglomeration of scattered flesh.

"Tomie..." The Needlewoman’s expression was extremely wary, speaking gravely: "Master Su, be careful!"

"She’s an indestructible monster."

"We must completely burn her body."

Su Ziyu frowned, looking at the grotesque remains crawling out of the pile, raising his hand as a bolt of lightning shot out. A charred smell immediately permeated as a piercing female scream echoed from the leaping golden arc.

With a hum, the elevator came to a complete halt.

Maybe the circuit got burnt out.

"Is that so?" Su Ziyu looked at the now motionless bloody remains, then glanced at the Needlewoman beside him.

The Needlewoman fell silent, for she realized that the writhing remains of Tomie had lost its vitality, turning into a pile of blackened charred flesh. By logic, these pieces should continue to regenerate and revive, forming a new Tomie, but now they seemed entirely devoid of life, completely and utterly dead.

"Very strong regeneration ability."

"Even stronger than flesh mutants!" Su Ziyu turned his gaze towards the emergency exit.

A staggering figure crawled out.

Her face was quite beautiful, with a tear mole at the corner of her eye. Initially bald, her hair soon transformed into a head of thick black locks. Her body was naked and incomplete, with three claw marks across her chest, even revealing some twitching organs, but the skin and flesh quickly restored, becoming smooth and flawless.

"Alert! Alert!"

"Detected spiritual fluctuations of mental control! ..."

Su Ziyu frowned, tilting his head slightly aside, then looked towards the approaching female figure: "It even has mental control?"

Clang.

A cold light flashed.

Su Ziyu gently pointed, and the Meteor Longsword transformed into a stream of light, slashing off the opponent’s head amid a spurt of fresh blood.

Bang.

The headless body before him fell, but quickly twitched and squirmed again. Amidst rapidly gathering flesh, a new head’s outline was ceaselessly regenerating.

"Who are you?"

"Why do you want to kill me? Am I not beautiful?"

At the same time.

From the severed neck of the head that was chopped off, flesh cells were frantically reproducing, regenerating the neck, shoulder bones, lungs, heart, and other flesh outlines in an incredible manner.

"Ah! ..."

"Why can’t you appreciate my beauty? Why don’t you obey my commands?" The headless body staggered up, with a squirming tumor forming on its neck, its indistinct facial features gradually emerging.

However, in a brief moment.

Two Tomies appeared before Su Ziyu, one headless and regenerating, the other without a body, writhing as a pile of flesh crawled.

"Physical means really don’t seem to kill it."

Su Ziyu curiously watched the two splitting regenerating Tomies before him, murmuring: "This kind of regeneration ability is even more terrifying than the trolls recorded in the database."

It’s said that if a troll’s limbs or head are severed, unless it is burned with flame or eroded with acid, the severed parts will soon regenerate into a new troll, and if someone consumes the troll’s meat, eventually the troll will grow out of that person’s body.

The regeneration ability displayed by this Tomie is similar to the trolls, perhaps even stronger, and she also possesses a kind of mental control method.

Slightly troublesome.

Crackle!

A bolt of lightning shot out of Su Ziyu’s palm.

The lights in the hotel flickered for a moment, then the entire building went completely dark.

A scream echoed in the darkness, followed by a figure fleeing into the emergency exit. Unlike the writhing remains seen earlier, the headless body of Tomie wasn’t killed by the electrical strike, possibly because her body was more complete and her life force stronger.

"Power’s out?"

Su Ziyu realized his lightning ability in the modern plane caused quite a commotion, initially causing the elevator to malfunction, and now even tripping the circuits of the entire hotel.
