Chapter 13: Chapter 13 Nord City’s First Prey

Nord.

Although it was already night time, there were still many lights on along the streets.

After all, life in the city was very different from that of a small village. The nightlife was still rich and bustling.

However, at this time, a strange scene appeared in Nord.

Although it wasn’t crowded, there were many people and cars on the streets.

Standing among them was a scarecrow.

What was even weirder was that no one noticed him at all!

Looking at the reaction of the people around him, Flanders nodded in satisfaction.

Sure enough, spending a lot of points to upgrade his Disguise was the right choice.

He was thinking about it. He actually managed to appear as an ordinary scarecrow in front of the two ‘professionals’.

So, how would the ordinary people of Nord City see through his illusion?

In their eyes, Flanders was just an ordinary human.

With very low presence.

After finding a quieter bistro to rest, Flanders sat down and checked the phone.

This phone belonged to Kai. The YouTube video was also open on this phone.

Flanders was sitting in a corner of the bistro, reading the comments under the video.

[Hey, hey, hey, this video… Is it really just special effects?]

[It looks so unsettling. If this is a company’s pre-sale , I’d like to trouble your company and request to stop this behavior.]

[I’ll say. Aren’t those corpses too realistic? And that crow with the eyeball in its mouth. It looks exactly like the real thing.]

[And that scarecrow. His last words were so scary. I got goosebumps after listening to it.]

It seemed that many netizens had begun to question the ‘Scarecrow Incident’.

They had begun to wonder if the videos related to Flanders were made with special effects or props.

It was not that these people did not believe in science.

It was the 21st century.

The special effects just seemed too realistic, so much more realistic than a sci-fi blockbuster.

Flanders, of course, was pleased to see that.

Real monsters were even more frightening compared to the fake ghosts on screen.

That was the difference between real and fake.

So, Flanders’s goal was now very clear—to make people realize that their existence was indeed real.

Previously, after the man and woman had left after filming their video, Flanders thought about this matter.

But soon, he gave up because he thought it was too dangerous.

Exposing his existence would likely get him killed.

However, things were different now.

His existence was now exposed. Even the relevant departments have sent people out to eliminate him.

Since that was the case, he thought he might as well use this method to obtain more fear points to increase his strength as soon as possible.

After planning his next move, Flanders got up and left the bistro.

While he was in there, not a single waiter came over to greet him.

The power of his Disguise satisfied Flanders greatly.

However, his Fear and Demonic God’s Body also caught Flanders’s attention.

Battles like the one he faced earlier might often happen in the future.

In order to survive better, these two skills were highly important.

One skill could greatly reduce the threat of the enemy while the other could greatly improve his own safety.

Surviving was the only way.

As he walked along the street, Flanders looked at his fear points as he pondered.

Now, his fear points had surpassed more than 5,000.

Obviously, the video he had shot had played a role in this increase.

If his estimations were correct, it would increase a lot in the next period of time.

After spending 3,000 fear points to raise his Fear to level 4, his balance returned to just about 2,000 points.

At this moment, Flanders stopped.

It was time to harvest a little more fear points.

…

In a taxi, the driver was driving while speaking with confidence.

“Sir, are you also interested in the Scarecrow Incident?

“People nowadays are really daring. They would say anything and would even talk about monsters.

“But then again, I’ve seen that video before. It scared me to death.

“I wonder what the person who made this video’s after. Could they be terrorists or cultists? hahahaha.

“By the way, are you also a video blogger? I see that the phone in your hand seems to be recording…”

As the driver drove, he tried his best to remain humorous as he chatted with the customer.

Occasionally, he would take a peek at the silent customer behind him through the rearview mirror.

He could tell that the client was making a video.

That was why he tried to make himself look as likeable as possible.

If it were any other time, he would have tactfully shut up when meeting such a quiet and eccentric person.

Then again, this client was really something.

It was nighttime, and he was going to visit the abandoned farm in the scarecrow video.

He did not find it too creepy.

The customer promised to double the fare, too, and he would not have money if he did not accept it.

After earning this extra bit of money tonight, he could get drunk again.

Thinking about this, the driver wore a happy smile on his face.

The farm was not too far from Nord City. They arrived in just twenty minutes.

The driver had a smile on his face that he thought was very handsome. He turned around and looked at Flanders.

“Sir, let’s…”

Before he could finish his sentence, a black shadow flashed past.

Before the taxi driver could even see what had happened clearly, he felt a sharp pain in his right arm.

To his horror, he discovered that he had lost all feeling in his right arm.

Not only that, he could clearly feel his body losing blood.

That was because his blood had spurted out from his broken arm and onto the car window.

“You…you…”

At this moment, Flanders had completely removed his Disguise.

Naturally, the driver recognized him instantly.

This ‘silent’ customer who had been sitting behind him was actually the same scarecrow that was spreading like wildfire on the internet!

It was not a special effect, not a legend, not a prop…

It was real!

“Don’t… Don’t kill me… Please, don’t kill me, I’ll give you anything you want.

“Yes, I’ll give you money, I have a lot of savings!”

At this moment, the driver seemed to have found a life-saving straw, offering the scarecrow such a condition.

He had already lost his ability to think.

Whenever a person was in a desperate situation, they would usually think of things optimistically.

However, everyone knew that trying to talk to a monster about money was almost like talking to a tiger about coffee.

Flanders pointed the camera at himself and grinned.

“Now, it’s time to party!”
