Aromatic Flesh

Her body was immune to diseases, she doesn’t feel intense pain, and her injuries heal quickly. Even in a state of decay, she cannot completely die. Her body possesses all the characteristics of a monster, which brought both advantages and disadvantages. However, in the current situation, it provided many conveniences for Gu MingYue.

She must be the only creature in the world unaffected by illusion magic.

Gu MingYue understood that when Jing Yao is broken, the members of the survivor team would surely be released from the illusion’s grasp. This was because the law of the protagonist states that no matter how difficult or extraordinary the situation was, as long as it was not self-inflicted, the protagonists would never die. Therefore, she believed that even with their dwindling energy, they will be able to safely escape from this situation.

Meanwhile, the leader was surprised as he watched the woman, initially protected by the barrier, walked out into the open step by step.

“You…” The leader started to speak, but before he could utter another word, he realized that the woman who had just escaped from the barrier had disappeared.

Unlike the men caught in the illusion, Gu MingYue’s vanishing happened suddenly in plain sight of everyone.

But actually, she had not disappeared; instead, she was moving with such incredible speed that mere human eyes simply could not catch up with her. With her enhanced and agile body, she surpassed the physical limits of ordinary humans, and with ample energy, she began attacking the known individuals with abilities one by one. The enemies could not see her or her movements, making it impossible for them to target her. Within a short span of two minutes, she slit the throats of over a dozen individuals with Su ShaoYuan’s small knife, bathing in their blood.

With a final act, she stomped on the leader’s groin, causing him to let out a horrifying scream. Then, like a demon, she leapt onto a table and stood tall with her exquisitely beautiful features, wearing a smile that sent shivers down everyone’s spine.

Under the name of Zuo XiaoNan, Gu MingYue had encountered and reaped her fair share of souls as Xiao JingLin’s bodyguard. The inevitable conflicts and deaths were never something she naively sought to avoid. However, she was well aware that taking a life, regardless of the realm, was an act of sin, hence she would not use her mission as an excuse to absolve herself from the guilt of having blood on her hands.

The essence of killing was evil, regardless of the reasons behind it. This was the fact. And even in the unavoidable act of using evil to counter evil, the presence of evil still existed. Gu MingYue understood this well, that even if she had to carry the burdens and the sins of killing, she would still persist in upholding her own “justice” – the justice that was dedicated to saving her mother after completing her mission.

However, the sins cannot be absolved, and one day, the karmic consequences of these killings committed during the mission would have to be repaid.

As the leader screamed and writhed in pain, the members of the survivor team finally broke free from the illusion. Their senses returned, and what they saw was the woman standing on the table. She was covered in blood but smiling calmly, like a malevolent spirit that emerged from hell.

Like the other survivors in the rest station, the members of the survivor team were also stunned by the methods used by Gu MingYue. Although nobody from the group had witnessed it personally, the sight of over a dozen corpses on the ground and two terrified enemies made it clear that Gu MingYue was solely responsible for the creation of this bloody scene.

Gu MingYue stood on the table and smiled leisurely, but inside, her energy was rapidly depleting. She glanced at the three women huddled in the corner, unsure whether she should save them.

Her body was now on the verge of collapse, and her ability to remain standing here was solely supported by her sheer willpower.

“MingYue, come here.” Liu RuiCheng opened his arms towards her, noticing that her hand that was holding the knife was trembling, like it would drop the knife at any moment.

“Okay.” Gu MingYue responded simply and jumped into Liu RuiCheng’s embrace. The man caught her without any hesitation, not minding the bloodstains covering her body. The knife in her hand was carefully taken away by Su ShaoYuan, who was following closely behind Liu RuiCheng. She had already dealt with almost all of the enemy’s ability users, and the remaining one or two posed no immediate threat to the survivor group.

“Take them with us.” Gu MingYue stared at the corner exit of the restaurant.

Following her gaze, Bai JunFei understood that she was referring to the three women huddled in the corner.

“MingYue…” Liu RuiCheng hesitated to speak, while Bai JunFei remained silent, which indicated his refusal.

“I refuse,” Jing Yao was the first to express his objection. He believed that having Gu MingYue as the only woman in the team was enough, and adding three more would only increase the burden on resources, not to mention the lack of sleeping space in the buses.

I love that she retained her bodyguard skills from her previous mission! Super powerful MC ❤️😍
