The System Is One Year Ahead Of Schedule, But It’S Not The End Of The World Yet!

Chapter 75: Can Humans Keep Up with Firearms? (15)

The moment the skinny man known as Skeleton Ghost entered the private room, Chen Mo immediately sensed that this person was extraordinary.

Because he could feel a complex bloody aura emanating from him.

Although this bloody aura had already become faint, Chen Mo, who had integrated the abilities of the Blood Clan, could still easily detect it.

This guy definitely had taken many lives.

Chen Mo directly activated his mind-reading secret technique and listened to the thoughts of Skeleton Ghost.

Soon, he learned that this guy was originally an assassin on the dark web.

"I actually made it onto the dark web hit list. Is it the Tang family's doing? Are they giving me face? Just because of Liu Qinlan's words, it shouldn't have caused such a big reaction. Is it because I saved Liu Yuanzong and ruined their plans?"

Chen Mo didn't expect that the things he had guessed were not what angered the Tang family the most. It was actually him saving Du Renyuan.

That was what made the Tang family the most furious.

After putting in so much effort and waiting for Du Renyuan to encounter trouble so they could wrap things up, the result was that Du Renyuan was directly saved by Chen Mo. This was the main reason that made them determined to kill him.

Incidentally, Chen Mo glanced at the rank on Skeleton Ghost's head.

This guy was not simple, similar to Ding Xiaoyu from before, both were rare high-ranking Metahumans.

"Rank Seven Metahuman, so strong? Is there something in the outside world that can accelerate the absorption and advancement of Metahuman ranks? Half a year to reach Rank Seven, that's a really fast advancement speed."

[System Prompt: After the Heavenly Demon descended on Earth, a large number of Heavenly Demon particles spread throughout the world. The host was detected as one of the first creatures on Earth to absorb the 'Heavenly Demon particles' before accumulating enough points to activate the system. However, on the day the system was activated, the host's cultivation level inexplicably fell back to the zero-level Metahuman stage, and the Heavenly Demon particles in the body could no longer be detected.

As long as one absorbs the 'Heavenly Demon particles', they can accelerate their breakthrough in cultivation level. However, units that breakthrough their cultivation level by absorbing the 'Heavenly Demon particles' can only continue to advance by continuously absorbing the particles.

Most of the high-ranking units encountered by the host are either those who have taken 'mutated substances' to transform themselves into monsters and accelerate their cultivation level breakthrough, or those who have absorbed the 'Heavenly Demon particles'. There are also some who have undergone special mutations caused by the 'biological virus'.]

"Wow, it turns out that in the normal timeline, I absorbed the Heavenly Demon particles first to gain strength and then I could accumulate enough points to activate the system by grinding monsters for half a year."

Hearing the system questioning the disappearance of his Heavenly Demon particles, Chen Mo couldn't help but laugh. You've got the wrong timeline, of course you can't detect the Heavenly Demon particles on me.

He also didn't know how the system ended up in the half-year period before the apocalypse. Could it be that his future self, after gaining control of some Exotic Ability that can manipulate time, sent the system back early?

Chen Mo speculated randomly.

[PS: Since some students have doubts about the excessive appearance of high-ranking units, I will explain some reasons in advance.]

After learning some of the reasons behind the appearance of high-ranking powerhouses after the apocalypse, Chen Mo no longer paid attention to the identity of the Rank Seven Metahuman in front of him.

This guy was already a ruthless person to begin with, and after the apocalypse, such people were even more likely to thrive. There was nothing strange about it.

When Chen Mo was gathering information about the Skeleton Ghost, the Skeleton Ghost had already figured out the situation in the private room. However, he still hadn't figured out how Hu Ge died.

"Who killed Hu Ge?" Curiously, the Skeleton Ghost asked when he saw Hu Ge nailed to the wall.

"It was Mo Ge who killed him, Skeleton Ghost. From now on, the Tiger Group belongs to Mo Ge. If you still obey, Mo Ge's interest can let you return to your original position..."

Just as Hao Zi finished speaking, Chen Mo raised his hand to stop him from continuing, saying, "Da Hu Zi can accept it, but as for you, Skeleton Ghost, you have caused too much trouble. It's better for you to follow Hu Ge on the road."

As soon as these words were spoken, Da Hu Zi became immediately interested.

Just now, he heard Hao Zi say that Chen Mo had defeated Hu Ge in one move, but he had never personally seen Chen Mo make a move. Hearing it from someone else made it a bit difficult for him to believe.

But now, if Chen Mo could defeat the Skeleton Ghost, it would prove that Chen Mo was extraordinary.

Although the Skeleton Ghost was thin and weak, Da Hu Zi was strong and powerful. But every time he saw the Skeleton Ghost, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Even though he had never fought him, he knew very well that this guy was definitely not easy to provoke. He was a master!

Da Hu Zi couldn't defeat him himself, so naturally, he took this opportunity to see Chen Mo's strength.

At this moment, the Skeleton Ghost had already recognized Chen Mo's identity and was already itching to make a move. But when he heard Chen Mo had killed Hu Ge and wanted to subdue the entire Tiger Group, he had already made up his mind to kill him.

Not to mention the second half of Chen Mo's sentence, which said that he should accompany Hu Ge on the road.

"Kid, even if you have some extraordinary martial arts skills, you can't be faster than a firearm!"

As soon as the Skeleton Ghost finished speaking, he had already taken out a dark object from his pocket. The black hole of the muzzle was filled with infinite intimidation, directly aimed at Chen Mo.

In that instant, everyone in the room couldn't help but be shocked. Hu Ge had explicitly forbidden the use of this thing before, as it could easily cause unnecessary trouble. But they didn't expect the Skeleton Ghost to still carry it with him.

"Interesting, you still have this thing." Chen Mo smiled faintly at the Skeleton Ghost.

As soon as Hao Zi saw the Skeleton Ghost take out this thing, he was also startled. He quickly said, "Skeleton Ghost, you must not act impulsively. Mo Ge has a noble identity and is protected by the Qing Society and the Yellow Robe Society. If you harm him, you may not be able to walk out of here alive."

"Hmph, anyway, he wasn't planning to let me live. Even if I can't walk out, I'll take him down with me!" The Skeleton Ghost said, preparing to pull the trigger.

In that instant, whether it was Hao Zi by Chen Mo's side, Da Hu Zi, or the surrounding onlookers, no one saw how Chen Mo got up from the sofa.

They only felt Chen Mo's figure suddenly blur, and the next moment, he had already appeared beside the Skeleton Ghost, grabbing the hand that held the object with one hand.

"Can't be faster than a firearm?"

Chen Mo smirked, and with just a squeeze, the Skeleton Ghost's entire hand, along with the object, was completely deformed and fused together, becoming a irregular ball of flesh and metal in Chen Mo's hand.

Because Chen Mo's movements were too fast, the Skeleton Ghost didn't even have time to react. It was only when the delayed pain came from the severed hand that he suddenly realized that his right hand had disappeared up to the wrist.
