Chapter 1 The Carnage

碎石飞溅，审判长半张脸撞的血肉模糊，接着如同垃圾一般被用力丢出，一连撞翻了十几具形同躯壳的尸体，才勉强停住。

From the cocoon, Wu emerged, his whole body enveloped in blood, like a killing god crawling out of a sea of blood. Fine, dark red cracks started from his feet, spreading across his body like a spiderweb.

恐怖的威严降临，墙壁与地面颤抖中纷纷崩裂开。

A terrifying aura descended, and the walls and ground trembled and crumbled.

此刻出现的无带给江城的是一种陌生的感觉，好像…好像换个了人，江城也不明白为什么，直到他余光瞥见了地上的影子。

The Wu that appeared now gave Jiang Cheng a strange feeling, as if... as if he was a different person. Jiang Cheng didn't understand why, until he caught a glimpse of the shadow on the ground.

无的影子！

Wu's shadow!

那是一个身材明显比无高大的多的影子，上面流淌着暗到极致的血红色，不仔细看，几乎与黑暗融为一体。

It was a shadow much taller than Wu, flowing with an extremely dark blood red that almost blended into the darkness if you didn't look closely.

然对无很有信心，可眼前这场近乎于碾压的战斗只凭借无一个人，江城认为还是太勉强了，无他更像是掌握了某种禁忌般的力量。

Ran was very confident in Wu, but Jiang Cheng thought it was too much to rely on Wu alone in this almost crushing battle. Wu seemed to have mastered some kind of forbidden power.

而他身后的影子，就是这股力量的源头。

And the shadow behind him was the source of this power.

显然，此刻的无还没有完全驾驭这股力量。

Obviously, Wu had not yet fully controlled this power.

想到这里，江城本能的想要提醒无，可下一秒，那道暗红色的影子仿佛感知到了江城的想法，瞬间扭过头，盯向他。

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng instinctively wanted to remind Wu, but the next second, the dark red shadow seemed to sense Jiang Cheng's thoughts and instantly turned its head to stare at him.

股形容不出的寒意袭来，贴着地面，江城的两条腿立刻就僵住了，血管里好似被词满了冰儿。

An indescribable chill attacked, hugging the ground, and Jiang Cheng's legs immediately stiffened, as if his blood vessels were filled with ice.

就在江城以为自己要交代在这里时，一声低吼传来，无攥紧刀柄，整個身体绷紧的如同一杆战旗。

Just when Jiang Cheng thought he was going to die here, a low roar came, and Wu clenched his knife handle, his whole body tense like a battle flag.

没看到他有要攻击的迹象，但身后的影子慢慢收回视线，安静下来。

He didn't see any signs of him attacking, but the shadow behind him slowly retracted his gaze and became quiet.

与此同时，江城身上的那股寒意瞬间消解。

At the same time, the chill on Jiang Cheng's body instantly dissipated.

审判长挣扎着站起，半张脸已经被完全摧毁，嘴唇被撕裂，露出两排森白色的牙齿，脸颊眼角的部位甚至露出了白骨。

The Judge struggled to stand up, half of his face completely destroyed, his lips torn, revealing two rows of white teeth, and even the bones were exposed at the corners of his cheeks and eyes.

更恐怖的是，残留在骨头外面的，不只有血肉，还有一股股不知名的红色血丝，血丝彼此纠缠在一起，蚯蚓般诡异的蠕动着，居然在修复伤仅剩下的一只眼睛中人类的情感逐渐消退，与其说审判长现在是人，还不如说他已经迈出了最为禁忌的一步。

What was even more terrifying was that what remained outside the bones was not only flesh and blood, but also unknown red blood threads, which were intertwined with each other, wriggling like bizarre earthworms, and were actually repairing the wounds. The human emotions in his only remaining eye gradually faded. Rather than saying that the Judge was a human now, it was better to say that he had taken the most forbidden step.

完全由血丝构建出的手臂包裹着十字架，轰然砸在地上，十字架插入地面，好似一座墓碑。

An arm completely constructed of blood threads wrapped around a cross, slamming it into the ground, the cross piercing the ground like a tombstone.

以十字架为中心，一道道的黑色裂隙朝四周蔓延。

Centered on the cross, black cracks spread in all directions.

大块的血肉不断从审判长脸上身上脱落，红色血丝又在不断修复，这恐怖的一幕已经吓傻了周泽，他的大脑一片空白。

Large chunks of flesh and blood kept falling from the Judge's face and body, and red blood threads were constantly repairing them. This terrifying scene had already frightened Zhou Ze, and his brain was blank.

慢慢的，地面开始隆起，一座巨大的坟墓在十字架后破土而出，里面不断传来指甲抓挠的摩擦声，凄厉的哭声，还有令人毛骨悚然的笑声。

Slowly, the ground began to rise, and a huge grave broke ground behind the cross, with constant scratching sounds of fingernails, wailing cries, and spine-chilling laughter coming from inside.

不等众人反应过来，坟墓爆裂开，无数骷髅骸骨从中喷薄而出，汇成一股朝着无冲杀而来，眨眼间就将后者吞噬。

Before everyone could react, the grave exploded, and countless skeletons spewed out from it, forming a torrent rushing towards Wu, devouring the latter in the blink of an eye.

完全由白骨汇成的浪潮中一道身影逆流而上，刀光所及处白骨崩裂，残肢飞溅，横刀在前的无就这样踏着脚下的白骨，一步步走到坟墓前，

In the tide of white bones, a figure went against the current. Wherever the blade light touched, the white bones shattered, and limbs flew. Wu, with his knife in front of him, stepped on the bones under his feet and walked step by step to the front of the grave.

砍杀掉最后一只因为恐惧而想逃回坟墓中的骷髅后，一刀劈碎了审判长的墓碑。

After hacking and killing the last skeleton that wanted to escape back into the grave out of fear, he shattered the Judge's tombstone with one blow.

这算什么？”自诩见过大场面的13号忍不住诧异，“2个s级对付一个，居然打成这样，审判长祭出冥府之门也没用么，无他也只是s级没错啊！，

What is this?" Number 13, who claimed to have seen big scenes, couldn't help but be surprised. "Two S-ranks fighting one, and it's turned out like this. Is it useless even if the Judge summons the Gates of the Underworld? Wu is only S-rank, right?"

“是s级没错，可审判长和另一个家伙的s级是达到了s级，而他的s级”2号盯着无的背影顿了顿，“是因为最高只有s级啊。”

"He is S-rank, that's right, but the Judge's and that other guy's S-rank is that they reached S-rank, and his S-rank," Number 2 stared at Wu's back and paused, "is because the highest is only S-rank."

无能击败审判长和另一个家伙的结局，是13号希望看到的，但无成长速度过快，不见的是一件好事，他能感觉到，夏檀的那扇门在不断的影响无。

Wu's ability to defeat the Judge and that other guy was what Number 13 wanted to see, but Wu's rapid growth rate was not necessarily a good thing. He could feel that Xia Tan's door was constantly affecting Wu.

一旦无失去理智，那么他们必须有补救的手段。

Once Wu loses his mind, then they must have a way to remedy it.

想到这里13号立刻望向2号，语气罕见的认真起来，“2号，你老实告诉我，如果是这种程度的无，你和3号联手，有把握限制他吗？

Thinking of this, Number 13 immediately looked at Number 2, his tone becoming unusually serious, "Number 2, tell me honestly, if it is Wu of this level, if you and Number 3 join forces, are you confident that you can restrain him?"

1号已经脱离控制，而6号需要留守总部，2号和3号就是他们现在能拿出来的最强战力了，可令13号意外的是，2号在看向他的同时居然笑了,随后摇摇头，“不需要我。

Number 1 is already out of control, and Number 6 needs to stay at headquarters. Number 2 and Number 3 are the strongest combat forces they can currently bring out, but what surprised Number 13 was that Number 2 actually smiled while looking at him, and then shook his head, "I'm not needed."

13号整个人都振奋起来，“你是说3号一个人就可以对付他？是能力相克对不对？”

Number 13 perked up, "You mean Number 3 can deal with him alone? It's because their abilities are mutually exclusive, right?"

号的能力确实匪夷所思，就像上一次，出自守夜人的沙鬼蛇女两位杀手，别人对付起来十分棘手，可在3号面前，连脸都没看到就被干掉没想到3号这家伙还有这一手，13号紧绷的脸色终于放松了一些。

Number 3's abilities are indeed unbelievable. Just like last time, the two assassins, Sand Demon and Snake Woman, who came from the Night Watch, were very tricky for others to deal with, but in front of Number 3, they were killed before they even saw their faces. Unexpectedly, Number 3 had this trick up his sleeve. Number 13's tense expression finally relaxed a little.

可下一秒，2号就摘下自己的帽子，扣在了13号的头上，拍了拍后语重心长说：“我的意思是反正去两个也是死，不如就死3号一个人好了，

But the next second, Number 2 took off his hat, put it on Number 13's head, patted it, and said earnestly, "What I mean is, since going with two people is also death, it's better for Number 3 to die alone.

你给2哥留条活路，好不好3亏2号扭头看向无的背影，片刻后，双臂抱在胸前，背斜倚着墙，模样舒缓下来，“我说你也不要太悲观，你担心的无非是无失控后伤害零和1号，但我觉得不会，就在刚才，无背后的家伙至少对零起了两次杀心，但都被无压制住了。

Leave a way out for Brother 2, okay?" Number 3 owed Number 2 a favor. Number 2 turned his head to look at Wu's back. After a moment, he folded his arms across his chest, leaned his back against the wall, and relaxed. "I said you shouldn't be too pessimistic. What you're worried about is Wu harming Zero and Number 1 after losing control, but I don't think that will happen. Just now, the guy behind Wu had murderous intentions towards Zero at least twice, but they were all suppressed by Wu."

“既然我们已经没了参与这场战斗的资格，就安静的做个旁观者吧。”2号眯起眼睛，“一次陨落2个级的场面，可是好久都没有见过了。”

"Since we are no longer qualified to participate in this battle, let's just be quiet observers." Number 2 squinted his eyes. "It's been a long time since we've seen a scene where two S-ranks fall at once."

52号13号不同，胖子目瞪口呆的看着眼前的战斗，此刻的他才发觉多读书的好处，他反复搜索大脑中的词汇，可最后憋了半天，还是一句臣被劈碎了墓碑的审判长明显元气大伤，开始跟不上无的速度，接连被击中，最后像是只破布袋一样摔在地上，全身血肉模糊。

Unlike Numbers 5 and 13, Fatty stared dumbfounded at the battle in front of him. Only now did he realize the benefits of reading more books. He repeatedly searched the vocabulary in his brain, but in the end, after holding back for a long time, he still said, "Damn it!" The Judge, whose tombstone was smashed, was obviously greatly injured and could no longer keep up with Wu's speed. He was hit repeatedly, and finally fell to the ground like a broken sack, his whole body a bloody mess.

珠鬼看样子想找机会偷偷溜掉，但无背后像是长了眼晴，很快就着蜘蛛鬼的脖子把她揪了回来，然后如同修剪树木枝权一般帮她修剪影子上的残这一丧心病狂的场面就连出自深红的13号都看不过去了，但看无那么开心，他也不敢说什么。

Zhu Gui looked like she wanted to find a chance to sneak away, but Wu seemed to have eyes behind him. He quickly grabbed the Spider Ghost by the neck and dragged her back, and then helped her trim the remnants of her shadow like pruning tree branches. Even Number 13, who came from Crimson, couldn't stand this insane scene, but seeing Wu so happy, he didn't dare to say anything.

在以一种极为凶残的方式吞噬掉了蜘蛛鬼的影子后，无身上的血色裂隙开始愈合，他身后的影子也被冲淡了许多。

After devouring the Spider Ghost's shadow in an extremely brutal way, the blood-colored cracks on Wu's body began to heal, and the shadow behind him was also much fainter.

2号缓缓吐出一口气，

Number 2 slowly exhaled a breath.

“无在慢慢夺回这具身体的控制权，他压制住那扇门了。”停顿片刻，他用只有自己能听到的声音补充，

"Wu is slowly regaining control of this body. He has suppressed that door." After a pause, he added in a voice that only he could hear,

在蜘蛛鬼被吞噬后，整间酒吧也恢复了之前的样子，缠绕在2号胸口的黑色丝线也消失了，无将视线投向了之前追杀江城的那些人。

After the Spider Ghost was devoured, the whole bar returned to its previous appearance, and the black threads wrapped around Number 2's chest also disappeared. Wu turned his gaze to those who had previously chased and killed Jiang Cheng.

一道影子踉跄着冲向无，审判长此刻的模样极为凄惨，两只眼睛变为了两个血窟窿，手臂也只剩下的半截，无转过身，不慌不忙一刀刺入审判长胸口。

A shadow staggered towards Wu. The Judge's appearance was extremely miserable at this moment, his two eyes turned into two bloody holes, and only half of his arm remained. Wu turned around and calmly stabbed the Judge in the chest with a knife.

原本貌似只剩下一口气审判长突然振奋起来，身上仅剩的血丝迅速朝着无的手臂包裹而去，血丝没有袭击无的身体，只是想把他禁锢在身边口血的齿，市长过大明，他的暖子级，发出的声音类似野兽的斯，“把消息送出去，夏檀那门在他身上，林营审判长咬若一在亲眼目睹眼前的惨剧后，剩下的人没有任何反抗的打算，立刻转身逃跑，而且他们明白，是不可能全都逃掉的，所以3,4个人一组，四散可令审判长警惕的是，无只是歪着头看他，并没有立刻挣脱开，或是迅速杀掉他，然后去追其他人的打算。

Originally, the Judge, who seemed to have only one breath left, suddenly perked up. The only remaining blood threads on his body quickly wrapped around Wu's arm. The blood threads did not attack Wu's body, but just wanted to imprison him beside the teeth of the bloody mouth, the mayor crossed Da Ming, his warm-zi level, making a sound similar to a beast's hiss, "Send the message out, Xia Tan's door is on him!" After witnessing the tragedy before their eyes, the remaining people had no intention of resisting. They immediately turned around and ran away, and they understood that it was impossible for them all to escape, so they scattered in groups of three or four. What made the Judge wary was that Wu just tilted his head and looked at him, and did not immediately break free, or quickly kill him, and then plan to chase after the others.

汉剩的神智已经不足以支撑审判长想明白这是为什么，但他看到无的嘴角挂一抹古怪的笑容，

The remaining sanity was not enough to support the Judge to understand why, but he saw a strange smile on the corner of Wu's mouth.

似平在笔余光中，审判长只觉得无的身下有东西晃动一下，随即，他见到了惊悚的一幕，4个形态古怪的影子歪歪扭扭的从地上站了起来。

It seemed that in the corner of his eye, the Judge only felt something shaking under Wu's body. Then, he saw a terrifying scene. Four strangely shaped shadows stood up from the ground in a crooked manner.

接着每个影子面朝一个方向，

Then each shadow faced a direction,

一眨眼的功夫就不见了。

And disappeared in the blink of an eye.

这是审判长意识消散前所见到的最后景象。

This was the last scene the Judge saw before his consciousness dissipated.

急促的脚步声响起，3个极度紧张的男人撞开安全门，沿着一条漆黑的走廊朝外逃去，胸膛剧烈起伏着，他们也不确认是否有机会逃出去但有一点可以肯定的是，即便他们真能逃出去，这辈子都会活在今天的阴影中，谁能料到，在他们眼中高不可攀的审判长居然被击败了。

Hasty footsteps sounded, and 3 extremely nervous men pushed open the security door and fled outwards along a dark corridor, their chests rising and falling violently. They were not sure if they would have a chance to escape, but one thing was certain: even if they could escape, they would live in the shadow of today for the rest of their lives. Who would have thought that the Judge, who was out of their reach in their eyes, would be defeated?

那个身穿黑色风衣的家伙…究竟是个什么东西？！

That guy in the black trench coat... what exactly is he?!

约莫着已经跑出很远，三个人放缓脚步，这样能听到后面是否有人追来，可脚步声没听到，却有一阵奇怪的声音飘忽着传入耳朵里“嘀嗒。”苏丹小说网

After running a long distance, the three people slowed down their pace so they could hear if anyone was chasing them from behind, but they didn't hear footsteps. Instead, a strange sound floated into their ears, "Drip."

“嘀嗒。”

"Drip."

走在最后的男人忍不住问，“什么声音，你们…你们两个有听到吗？”

The man walking at the back couldn't help but ask, "What's that sound? Did you... did you two hear it?"

出韵的男人停片刻，好像是清水的声音。”他侧耳听了一会，头肥不住，好奇怪，这液水用应读就在附近，很近，可我到断不“会不会是那个家伙追来了？”另一个高个男人警惕道。

The out-of-breath man paused for a moment. "It sounds like water." He listened for a while, unable to hold back his words. "It's strange. This water sound should be nearby, very close, but I can't determine... Could it be that guy is chasing after us?" Another tall man asked vigilantly.

闻言三人统一看向最前面带路的那个中年人，毕竟他才是这次行动名义上的带队人，他叫陆显宗，是13家族中陆家的人。

Hearing this, the three men all looked at the middle-aged man leading the way in the front. After all, he was the nominal leader of this operation. His name was Lu Xianzong, and he was a member of the Lu family in the Thirteen Families.

“陆先生。”有人忍不住问：“这条路是通向哪里的，怎么走了这么久，还没…”

"Mr. Lu," someone couldn't help but ask, "Where does this road lead to? Why have we been walking for so long, and we haven't..."

男人的话夏然而止，因为他注意到，眼前背对他的中年人全身湿漉漉的，沿着裤腿和袖口的位置，还不断有水滴落。

The man's words suddenly stopped because he noticed that the middle-aged man in front of him was wet all over, and water droplets were constantly falling from the cuffs and pant legs.

“嘀嗒。”

"Drip."

“嘀嗒。”

"Drip."

这才是滴水声的源头！！

This was the source of the dripping sound!!

发现这点后，三个男人的脸色霎时间变了，因为他们意识到了一件更恐怖的事情。

After realizing this, the faces of the three men changed instantly, because they realized something even more terrifying.

他们逃跑的时候就是三个人，这位陆显宗是什么时候混进来的？

There were only three of them when they were running away. When did this Lu Xianzong sneak in?

而且…而且他怎么可能混进来？！不久前，他明明已经被掉落下来的天花板砸死在下面了啊！

And... and how could he have sneaked in?! Not long ago, he was clearly crushed to death by the falling ceiling!

身前的“陆显宗”貌似是发现自己暴露了，突然站住脚步，身体不动，头慢慢转过180度，露出一张泡得发白的女人的脸。

The "Lu Xianzong" in front of them seemed to realize that he had been exposed, and suddenly stopped. His body didn't move, but his head slowly turned 180 degrees, revealing a woman's face that was pale and bloated.

“咯咯咯…”女人眉眼挑起，笑容夸张又诡异。

"Hehehe..." The woman raised her eyebrows, her smile exaggerated and eerie.

“啊！啊啊……！”

"Ah! Aaaah...!"

在酒吧包间中的人面色惨白，一个穿着服务生衣服的人站在门后，一边留意着门外的动静，一边操着手机，想用手机把消息传递出去，呼叫教可谁知道，这间破酒吧里居然没信号！

Inside the bar's private room, everyone's face was pale. A person wearing a waiter's uniform stood behind the door, keeping an eye on the movement outside while fiddling with his phone, trying to use it to send a message and call for help. But who knew, there was no signal in this broken bar!

思索再三，他只好下定决心，对着坐在不远处沙发上的3个队友沉声：“不能指望别人来救咱们了，只能靠自己了。”

After thinking it over again and again, he had to make a decision. He turned to the 3 teammates sitting on the sofa not far away and said in a deep voice: "We can't rely on others to save us. We can only rely on ourselves."

“一会我打开门，咱们冲出去，2个人出門往左跑，樓梯附近有一处安全出口，另外2个人去右边，这酒吧有个后門，从那里也能离开。”

"I'll open the door in a while, and we'll rush out. 2 people go out and run to the left. There's a safety exit near the stairs. The other 2 people go to the right. This bar has a back door. We can leave from there too."

说完他就伸出手，摁在门把手上，打算朝外冲，能不能跑掉就看命。

After he finished speaking, he reached out and pressed his hand on the doorknob, planning to rush out. Whether they could escape or not depended on fate.

“嗯？”男人心里突然泛起一阵古怪，他扭过头，发觉3个队友依旧坐在沙发上，一动不动，像是没听到他说的话一样“你们…你们在做什么？”

"Huh?" A strange feeling suddenly arose in the man's heart. He turned his head and found that his 3 teammates were still sitting on the sofa, motionless, as if they hadn't heard what he said. "What... what are you doing?"

男人此刻已经意识到出问题了，他也想丢掉队友自己逃命，可不行，毕竟自己的亲弟弟也坐在沙发上。

The man realized that something was wrong at this moment. He also wanted to abandon his teammates and escape on his own, but he couldn't. After all, his own younger brother was also sitting on the sofa.

因为担心被发现，所以他们没有开灯，包间内十分昏暗，只能依稀瞧见3个人的轮廓，他屏住呼吸，用颤抖的手打开手机电筒。

Because they were worried about being discovered, they didn't turn on the lights. The private room was very dim, and they could only vaguely see the outlines of 3 people. He held his breath and turned on the flashlight on his phone with a trembling hand.

一瞬间，眼前的一幕让他心跳都暂停了。

In an instant, the scene before his eyes made his heartbeat stop.

三个队友睁圆眼睛，面带诡异的微笑，统一抬头看向头顶。

His three teammates opened their eyes wide, wearing eerie smiles, and uniformly looked up at the ceiling.

而随着他一顿一顿地抬起僵硬的脖子后，头顶的巨大稻草人也对他露出了微笑。

And as he slowly raised his stiff neck, the huge scarecrow on the ceiling also smiled at him.

进度最快的是冲向酒吧后门的一组人，他们已经能看到代表着生路的绿色大门了，他们就是从这条路潜入进来的，所以很清楚，这扇门后，

The group that rushed to the back door of the bar was making the fastest progress. They could already see the green door that represented the path to life. They had sneaked in through this path, so they knew very well that behind this door,

就是酒吧而那里地形复杂，只要逃出去，就算那个黑风衣有天大的本事，要想將他们一一找到，也需要时间。

was the back street of the bar, and the terrain there was complex. As long as they escaped, even if that black trench coat had great abilities, it would take time to find them one by one.

利用这段时间，他们早就逃走了。

They would have escaped long ago by using that time.

几人继续加速，直到“砰”的一声撞开了眼前的门，可还来不及喘口气，眼前出现的景象就让几个人无所适从。

The few continued to accelerate until they "bang"ed and crashed open the door in front of them, but before they could catch their breath, the scene that appeared before their eyes left them at a loss.

外面是酒吧后街没错，可这里已经成了一片银妆素裹的世界，地上铺着厚厚的一层积雪。

The outside was the back street of the bar, but it had become a world of silver makeup and white wrapping, with a thick layer of snow covering the ground.

凛冽的北风呼啸着吹过，夹杂着大朵大朵的雪花打在他们的脸上，刀割一般疼。可………这个季节怎么会下雪呢？

The biting north wind howled, mixed with large snowflakes that hit their faces, hurting like a knife cut. But... how could it be snowing this season?
