Hunter of Immortals

Chapter 275: Human Head

After taking a moment to inspect his surroundings, Adam immediately invoked Nun and Hellhound, the former of which was to be used for scouting purposes.

Following its transformation, Hellhound appeared to be stronger than before, and its mismatching heads further contributed to its menacing appearance.

As soon as it was invoked, Shae pressed a hand against its chest and began to slowly fuse with it.

Having fought alongside one another on many occasions, the two of them were becoming more and more compatible.

Initially, it had required around 10 minutes for them to fuse together, but at this point, that duration had been whittled down to only a minute or two. She still couldn't instantly fuse with Hellhound like Adam could with his anomalies, but that was still certainly a marked improvement.

After adopting her werewolf form, the discomfort that Shae felt from her environment was significantly alleviated, and she was able to take a deep breath and regain her bearings.

"Where do we start?"

"Let's start with this place."

Without Hook by his side, exploring someone's psychic world had become somewhat of a guessing game, and it was very inefficient.

Shae's mind seemed to have wandered down the same path, and she sighed, "If only Hook was here."

The human side of Adam's personality still harbored a sense of guilt and remorse over Hook's death.

"If it wasn't for me, he would still be alive right now."

"Indeed. We are the ones at the center of this mess, he and Nie Yiyi were just innocent bystanders," Shae sighed with a forlorn expression. "Somehow, we ended up surviving, but those around us have lost their lives."

"I'll make sure the people who did this to us pay for everything."

Adam began to make his way into the school as he spoke.

As he did so, he was wondering whether it would be a good idea to conceal himself. Even though people in the psychic world weren't anywhere near as logical as those in the real world, they would be fearful at the sight of "monsters".

However, he quickly discovered that his concerns were unnecessary.

This was because all of the people here were extremely bizarre in appearance, looking like grotesque humanoid abominations. Seeing as everyone was so strange in appearance, Adam fit right in with the crowd.

"Are these all aberrations?"

Shae made her way over to one of the bystanders before swiping at them with her claws, only to find that they were pitifully weak and were disemboweled from just a single attack.

Given how weak these creatures were, it seemed that they were nothing more than ordinary bystanders in this psychic world, rather than aberrations.

"What's going on here? If these things aren't aberrations, then they should look like normal humans!"

"Perhaps this is what people look like in the eyes of Sima Kai." For someone as twisted as him, it made sense that he saw the world differently from everyone else. "It seems like these people have been split up into different categories.

“he dolls with large heads are the ones with good-looking heads, the slightly mutated ones have ordinary heads, and those hideous abominations are most likely the ones with heads that he deems to be ugly. In any case, let's find the host first. I recall from his file that he's a zoologist, right?"

"That's what the warden told us."

"If he's a zoologist, and we're in a university right now, could it be that he's working here as a teacher?" Adam speculated as he followed the signs in the schoolyard to the Department of Biology.

Upon arriving there, Adam could immediately sense that the environment had become even more hostile.

"Looks like we're in the right place."

Adam made his way into the school building, and the lights in the surrounding area were switched on, but it was so dark that visibility was next to zero. Furthermore, the wallpaper was displaying significant signs of cracking and peeling, as if it had been corroded by formaldehyde.

"Make sure to be on your guard, and don't rush into battle," Adam said as he continued to slowly make his way forward.

Even though the entire place was extremely dilapidated, the signs on the doors were still firmly attached, and after some searching, he quickly found an office door that bore Sima Kai's name.

"This is it! Get back!"

Adam kicked the door open to reveal a huge office.

.

It was like a massive storage room with all types of human models and animal samples.

"He doesn't seem to be in here..."

Adam had only just begun speaking when he detected a sense of danger through his telegnosis, and he immediately took evasive measures without any hesitation, successfully dodging a surprise attack from the side.

He had been attacked by a human model, and even though it was only a plastic model, it was displaying remarkable speed and explosiveness. After failing to strike Adam with its initial attack, it immediately turned and charged at him again, only to be promptly shot down.

"What on earth is this? It doesn't seem to be an anomaly or an aberration," Adam mused as he made his way toward the human model, only for it to abruptly explode.

The sound of the explosion seemed to have alerted something, and a strange voice quickly rang out in the distance.

"Who's trespassing on my territory?"

The voice was quickly getting closer, and Adam spotted a spider-like anomaly crawling through the corridor.

The anomaly's face was quite similar to Sima Kai's, and Adam knew that he had found the host.

Well, that was fast.

Adam had nothing to say to an anomaly like this, so he immediately pulled out his gatling gun and pelted the creature with a barrage of bullets.

The spider anomaly was extremely fast, and its speed would've allowed it to dodge all of the bullets, but unfortunately, the corridor was too narrow and enclosed, making it unable to evade all of the oncoming attacks.

As a result, a series of holes were instantly punched into its body, much to Adam's surprise.

Why is it so weak?

Adam had thought that Sima Kai's psychic world would've been harboring something like a level six anomaly with overall power that was close to Eyeless's level.

This was the first truly mentally disturbed individual that he had encountered since Sithu, and he was already even prepared to put his life on the line in this battle.

In the face of such a formidable anomaly, he had expected his bullets to be next to completely ineffective, but it seemed that this was not the case.

Is it trying to lure me into a false sense of security?

Adam knew that some anomalies were extremely cunning, and he didn't dare to let his guard down. Instead, he threw down his gatling gun and switched to an even more powerful weapon, blasting a projectile out of his rocket launcher to trigger a massive explosion.

Amid the smoke and flames, the anomaly's body was instantly riddled with wounds.

Two of its "spider legs", which were formed by human arms, had been snapped, and it was reduced to a pitiful state.

What the hell's going on?

Adam became even warier upon seeing this, and right as he loaded another projectile into his rocket launcher, the anomaly suddenly crashed through the wall before rushing into the office area.

As Adam rushed out in pursuit, he saw the anomaly searching through the office area for a while before finding a glass jar that was filled with formaldehyde, immersed within which was a perfectly preserved human head.

As soon as the anomaly found the glass jar, it immediately smashed the container before grabbing the head inside.

All of a sudden, the eyes of the head abruptly sprang open, even though its owner was clearly long dead, and it let loose a sharp screech at Adam.
