I will attack as a player!

Chapter 30 Inferior Creatures

"Good morning, boss..."

Early in the morning, Gu Zixin's weak voice could be heard from the entrance of the convenience store.

Chu Wuji put down the contact lens case in his hand and looked over.

Although Gu Zixin used to slack off at work, she still had the same attitude as a college student just entering the workforce, and had a strange longing for working.

But today, Gu Zixin looked dejected, with dark circles under her eyes, making her look exactly like a vengeful spirit who had been tormented by work for ten years, hadn't paid off her car and mortgage, was facing divorce from her wife, and still didn't have money for her child's milk powder.

"What's wrong?"

"Ha~" Gu Zixin first put down the tennis racket bag on her back, then let out a very long yawn before saying, "I didn't sleep well last night."

Just as Chu Wuji was about to speak, a faint smell of blood entered his nostrils.

The source was Gu Zixin, who had just entered. However, the smell of blood was extremely faint and was masked by the scent of soap on Gu Zixin's body. If Chu Wuji hadn't been exceptionally strong, he wouldn't have been able to smell it at all.

"Is this your period?"

Chu Wuji didn't delve into such a sensitive topic, so he looked at the tennis racket bag that had been put down and tried to start a conversation: "Why did you bring a tennis bag?"

"Uh..." Mentioning this topic made Gu Zixin more sober. She seemed not to have realized Chu Wuji's sudden change of topic and thought for a moment: "I've been eating too well lately and my belly has gotten bigger. My clothes feel a bit tight, and I want to lose some weight."

As he spoke, he tucked the tennis bag behind him.

Chu Wuji's gaze swept over her clothes.

He felt it probably wasn't a problem with his stomach.

"Same as usual, you're on duty today. I need to go out for a bit."

"Huh? Not again? I..."

"There's a bonus."

"Have a safe trip, boss!"

Watching Chu Wuji leave, Gu Zixin felt a little curious.

Even though Chu Wuji is single and has no studies, he is always out and about by himself, not in the shop.

I don't know what they're doing.

Considering Chu Wuji's attire when they first met, Gu Zixin felt that her boss was becoming more and more mysterious.

But now is not the time to think about these things; the most urgent task is to find a way to sell the stolen goods.

She didn't sleep a wink last night trying to clean up the assassins who knew her, and now she's on tenterhooks because of what's in the tennis bag.

----------

Chu Wuji quickly turned into a small alley and blinked.

I'm still not used to wearing colored contact lenses.

Chu Wuji did not awaken a Blood Demon Art similar to Muzan's, which allows him to manipulate flesh and blood. Therefore, he had no way to conceal his eyes, which had turned into plum-red vertical pupils after his demon transformation, and had to temporarily cover them with colored contact lenses.

Hopefully, we can find a solution when we return to the Demon Slayer dungeon.

I turned on the brain-computer interface, and there was a message from Uncle Lin.

Chu Wuji planned to debut his version of Skadi today, so he asked Uncle Lin for some information.

According to Lin Zhou's investigation, there have been urban legends in Yuncheng North recently about "mad humanoids attacking and eating humans." Lin Zhou confirmed these rumors after hacking into nearby surveillance footage.

Chu Wuji needs to defeat him and record the incident before the other superheroes arrive.

Because it was necessary to keep the fact that Chu Wuji was the Skadi hybrid user a secret, Lin Zhou suggested that Chu Wuji download the brain-computer interface firewall he had developed, but Chu Wuji refused.

What firewall? I can just remove the brain-computer interface.

Following the route sent by Lin Zhou and avoiding cameras along the way, Chu Wuji quickly arrived at the scene of the crime.

This is an affluent suburban neighborhood with villas spaced far apart, making it difficult to quickly locate the victims.

With a leap, Chu Wuji jumped directly onto the treetops of a nearby tree and, using the leaves as cover, entered the residential area.

As soon as he entered, Chu Wuji noticed something was wrong.

Wealthy neighborhoods have high requirements for greenery, which often results in small forests or groves within them.

A strong, foul odor permeated the greenery and trees of this residential area.

Following the scent, Chu Wuji stopped on a thick tree trunk.

Here, a very obvious handprint is left on the tree trunk, but this handprint is not human; the palm is huge while the fingers are short and thick.

There was also dark red blood next to the handprint, which, judging from Chu Wuji's ghostly sense of smell, was undoubtedly human.

"A monkey? A subhuman monkey?"

With the scent of blood as a guide, Chu Wuji found it much easier to track the trail. In less than five minutes, he arrived at a place that resembled an abandoned golf course.

Beside a shallow, man-made lake that barely reaches above the thighs, a dressed gorilla sat cross-legged, clutching a severed limb that clearly belonged to a human woman, turning it over and over in his hand.

"Found it."

Chu Wuji took out the transformation device, and as light flowed, Skadi Armor Mode appeared on Chu Wuji's body.

This subtle movement immediately caught the gorilla's attention. It turned its head and revealed a face that was neither human nor gorilla.

Lin Zhou started up the drone he was using to film, and it recorded everything.

Chu Wuji was somewhat puzzled.

Subhumans generally only have some animal characteristics. For example, Gu Zixin, as a crow subhuman, only has feathers.

The thing in front of us looks like some kind of human-beast hybrid, giving off a sense of uncanny valley.

"What are you?" Chu Wuji's voice, after being processed by the helmet, transformed into a cold female voice, echoing with a dull tone.

"Me?" To Chu Wuji's surprise, the ape-man in front of him actually possessed considerable intelligence and was even able to communicate with humans: "I don't know what I am either."

"However..." The gorilla stepped aside, revealing the woman's corpse, torn to shreds and scattered on the ground behind him: "I was born from her, so I should be considered a kind of human."

"...You killed your mother, and you still call yourself human?"

"She only gave birth to me; in your terms, I'm a product of IVF surrogacy." The gorilla waved its severed limb. "Besides, I had my reasons for killing her. I've always been curious about something: why can we humans kill other animals for food at will without facing retaliation, while humans can't be eaten?"

Chu Wuji frowned.

Killing people of other races, or even humans killing other humans, is perfectly normal. People with power and money "eat people," which is just a euphemism; evil cultivators in the cultivation world also eat people, which is the literal meaning of cannibalism.

No one says you can't eat it, but if you do, you'll have to face a counterattack and extermination from humanity.

This is simply the natural exploitation of inferior beings by superior beings, just as Chu Wuji believed that he was naturally superior to everyone else because he was a player.

But you, who seem unable to integrate into society and whose very birth depends on human technology, are here belittling and blaming humanity?

Chu Wuji had intended to say that, but then gave up: "Forget it, I'm too lazy to reason with you. You're not worthy to listen."

"I feel disgusted just by the fact that you, such an inferior creature, live in this world for even a second longer."
