Reborn As a Snake, I Can Absorb Fear

Chapter 42 We are innocentInside the restaurant, Jiang Feng turned the tables and chairs into obstacles.

The little sheep ran around in chaos, only to end up tripping over the tables and chairs.

Jiang Feng approached a little sheep that had tripped.

The little sheep’s legs were trembling with fear.

[fear points + 80]

”Don’t come over here, don’t kill me.”

Only Jiang Feng could hear his pleas for mercy; everyone else could only hear him bleating.

Because Jiang Feng had used his spirit to distort everyone’s hearing, senses, and vision.

With so many people’s perceptions distorted, his spirit consumption was immense.

There wasn’t much time left to play this game, so he had to finish it quickly.

Picking up the second sheep, Jiang Feng slaughtered it right in front of the flock without hesitation.

[fear points + 100]

[fear points + 40]

[fear points + 50]

...

Two down, 49 to go.

A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Jiang Feng’s mouth as he walked toward the flock again.

The third, the fourth, the fifth...

The forty-third.

Within half an hour, Jiang Feng had killed forty-three sheep, averaging one or two per minute.

It was simply barbaric!

All the sheep were trembling with fear; the later they were, the more agonizing the wait.

If one knows they are going to die, the process of waiting for death is when fear is infinitely magnified.

There were also sheep that would resist during the wait for their death sentence.

Unfortunately, the resisting sheep would just die earlier under Jiang Feng’s butcher knife.

Consequently, the remaining sheep, wanting to live a little longer, dared not resist and prayed that they wouldn’t be the next one caught.

The last eight sheep weren’t lucky.

It was because Jiang Feng had intentionally left them for last.

Because they were the eight burly men, though unfortunately, after turning into sheep, they didn’t recognize each other.

These eight sheep were all praying that the next sheep wouldn’t be themselves.

Jiang Feng used the fear points he had just gained to add one hundred points to his spirit, allowing his nearly exhausted spirit to hold on for a while longer.

”Oh my, only eight sheep left. These eight must be killed slowly. First, chop off the limbs, then cut off the head, so it won’t kick around.” Jiang Feng, transforming into a butcher, muttered to himself.

The few sheep in the corner heard it clearly, and the more they heard, the more terrified they became.

This person was simply a devil.

”Little sheep, Grandpa Butcher is tired of killing today and doesn’t want to kill anymore. But Grandpa Butcher still needs four sheep to complete the mission. Are there four sheep who will voluntarily come out for me to kill?”

Jiang Feng’s words suddenly sparked a glimmer of hope in the hearts of the eight hiding sheep.

If he only kills four, then four of them can live—a fifty percent chance of survival.

”None? How about this: if any of you can bring me a little sheep to kill, I promise not to kill that one. I’ll give you half an hour. If no sheep is brought to me after half an hour, I’ll come and catch them myself.”

In one corner, a strange look of viciousness flashed in a sheep’s eyes.

He couldn’t beat the butcher, but surely he could beat the other sheep?

As long as he took out another sheep, he would survive.

His gaze shifted toward a slightly smaller sheep.

The other sheep near the little one also had a hint of viciousness flash in their eyes.

They simultaneously targeted the little sheep as their victim.

In the butcher’s hands, all sheep were equal, but among the eight sheep, the weak had no right to survive.

Reality was just that cruel. The weak shouldn’t complain about unfairness, because while everyone is equal in the face of death, between people, the weak will always be deprived of their rights and bullied.

The little sheep seemed to sense the unkind gazes around him and erupted with infinite fury.

Wanting to use me as a scapegoat? In your dreams.

It was unclear which sheep couldn’t hold back first and launched an attack on the little sheep.

The other sheep, fearing the little sheep would be taken, joined in the scramble.

The sheep immediately fell into a chaotic brawl, with the little sheep consistently being the primary target of the others.

Soon, he fell.

The other sheep, fighting for control over the little sheep’s body, began attacking each other again.

Another sheep fell during the melee. The remaining six sheep didn’t intend to fight over the corpse; instead, they had a tacit understanding to attack the most severely injured sheep together.

As long as four sheep fell, the remaining four could each have one.

The third sheep also fell, and before dying, it desperately counterattacked one of the other sheep.

The sheep that was counterattacked was the main contributor to killing the third sheep, but he wouldn’t get to enjoy the fruits of victory.

Because he was the most severely injured among the remaining sheep, he naturally became the target of the other four sheep’s joint attack.

The fourth sheep soon fell.

The remaining four sheep looked at each other and smiled with the relief of having survived a disaster; they no longer targeted each other.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Jiang Feng’s applause rang out.

The fight between the eight sheep was truly spectacular!

”Little sheep, your fight was truly spectacular. Having only me as an audience isn’t enough; your heroic deeds should be known by more people.”

After Jiang Feng finished speaking, his body vanished, leaving the four sheep staring in astonishment.

The butcher is gone!

Are they saved?

The four sheep looked at each other, trying to find an answer in each other’s eyes.

But soon, they didn’t see an answer in the other’s eyes, but rather shock.

”Ah Wen, you’ve turned back into a human? Why is your face swollen?”

”Er Gou, you’ve turned back into a human too?”

”What’s going on? We’ve turned back into humans again?”

”We weren’t just dreaming, were we!”

”Where’s Brother Long?”

At this moment, one of them saw the four people lying on the ground.

”Look, Brother Long is lying on the ground, along with Hu Zi and the others. They’ve been beaten up.”

”Who beat up Brother Long and the others?”

”Er Gou, it seems like we were the ones who beat up Brother Long.”

”You mean Brother Long was that little sheep?”

After learning the truth, they felt as if the sky had collapsed.

They had actually teamed up and beaten Brother Long half to death?

The joy of having just returned to being normal humans vanished instantly.

”Don’t move! Hands on your heads, hands up!”

At this moment, a group of police officers burst in, pointing their guns at the four men.

Half an hour ago, the police received a report that a shop had vanished for no reason.

Although the matter was very bizarre, the police station had initially thought it was a prank.

But acting on the principle of better safe than sorry, they accepted the report and sent people to investigate.

Unexpectedly, upon arrival, they found a large number of people unconscious at the shop entrance.

There were eight people inside the shop, four of whom were lying on the ground, and four who were still alive.

The four remaining survivors were also the prime suspects in this incident.

”Officer, it wasn’t us! It was a butcher! That butcher is simply a devil! You need to go catch him quickly!”

”Shut up! If it wasn’t you, then who beat up the four people on the ground? You clearly have signs of a struggle on your bodies, and you still want to quibble? To the police station!”

”Officer, we’re truly innocent! We’re victims too!” the four of them cried out in extreme grievance.
