2. Catherine
Occupation during his lifetime: Movie star, singer.
Cause of death: Rape and murder
The deceased's last wish: After starring in a movie, she caught the eye of Holman, who abducted her to his base and subjected her to three days of rape, causing her to bleed to death. Killing Holman will complete the level 6 mission issued by Catherine.
Task Reward: 80 Exorcism Points (maximum limit)
80 experience points
...
Eight level 6 quests led to eight deaths! There were four quests worth 100 experience points each; two worth 90 experience points each; and two worth 80 experience points each! Adding the one posted by Aiger worth 60 experience points… that means there were a total of nine level 6 quests, worth a total of 800 experience points!
That's not all.
There are also 16 level 5 quests related to Holman, each worth 10 experience points. That's a total of 160 experience points!
Holman, the notorious kingpin of New York's underworld, treats human life as worthless. Killing him will earn you 960 experience points!
To upgrade to a Level 5 Exorcist, you need 1000 experience points. Therefore, killing Holman is just one step away from leveling up!
"Dear user, would you like to immediately accept these Level 5 and Level 6 missions related to Holman?" the AI program's voice inquired.
"Answer it immediately!" Gao Jianfei's eyes were somewhat red. "I want to kill Holman! I really want to see what kind of faces the people of the Holy Land will have after Holman dies!"
Chapter 465 The Carnage Begins!
Chapter 465 The Carnage Begins!
Gao Jianfei accepted nine level 6 quests and sixteen level 5 quests related to Holman in one go. This amounted to a massive 960 experience points! With this huge sum, leveling up would be practically a breeze!
"Ha, Holy Land, I, Gao Jianfei, hereby declare war on you! Holman is merely a testing ground!" Gao Jianfei chuckled. Then, he spent a small amount of exorcism points to gather 1000 scattered Level 1 ghosts from the vicinity and housed them in his ghost den. Level 1 ghosts are inexpensive; their main function is to allow them to possess animals. Gao Jianfei's birthday present next month is the ability to house animals in his ghost den. This means Gao Jianfei can now build an army of animals with mutated genes. To fight against the Holy Land, which boasts superior numbers and resources, Gao Jianfei, alone, must possess his own power and resources. And Gao Jianfei has already made his animal army his only trump card!
It remains to be seen whether the mutated tigers, lions, leopards, bears, and other ferocious beasts can contend with ancient martial arts masters!
After accepting the mission, Gao Jianfei left the Ghost Den. His Ghost Exorcism Points had recovered to around 8 points, but Gao Jianfei didn't have any plans to hunt any high-level ghosts for the time being. Moreover, building an animal army would require a large amount of Ghost Exorcism Points, so he wouldn't touch them for the time being.
Emerging from the den of demons, Gao Jianfei lay on his bed. There were rustling noises and voices outside. He guessed it was the return of "Hunter's Knife" Song Ke's men. In fact, Song Ke and his three thugs were already under Gao Jianfei's control. Gao Jianfei didn't need to worry about these hooligans; he figured they couldn't pull any tricks. However, just to be on the safe side, Gao Jianfei released several of the newly captured American Level 1 demons to closely monitor Song Ke and his men in Tokyo.
After several level 1 ghosts floated out of the room, Gao Jianfei finally felt at ease and went to sleep.
In the basement of the apartment.
Songk gathered his 20-odd men in the basement.
"Damn it! Those guys are despicable! They actually... they actually hurt Lord Songke! Absolutely despicable!" In the basement, in front of his subordinates, Songke abandoned the sickly cat-like demeanor he had shown to Gao Jianfei, transforming into a ferocious tiger. The muscles at the corners of his eyes twitched incessantly, and his pupils radiated a palpable killing intent!
"Boss, what should we do now?" one of the thugs asked tentatively.
Song Ke subconsciously pressed his hand on the area below his lower abdomen... a dull ache!
"Ugh... Don't touch here! Damn it! Bastards! A bunch of bastards from the East!" The pain in his body lessened the murderous intent in Song Ke's eyes. He looked at the ceiling with some trepidation, and his voice became much softer.
"Boss, how about we slaughter those Eastern pigs? They're all new faces anyway, let's just kill them!" one of the thugs said, his evil intentions rising.
"Wait...wait..." Songke said somewhat fearfully.
At this moment, another thug said, "Boss, we received news from above today that the fugitives wanted by Lord Holman are traveling in groups of nine, and they are very likely Asians, specifically Chinese! And... the ones who broke into our area are exactly nine Chinese! This is highly suspicious! If we report all this to Lord Holman, with a bit of luck, we can get an unbelievable reward! Ten million US dollars! Ten million US dollars!" Even his tone changed as he spoke.
"Nine Chinese people traveling together?" Song Ke's eye twitched involuntarily.
Another thug said, "Boss, actually, we don't need to be so afraid of those people. After Lord Holman catches them, we can 'force' them to remove the pain that's been inflicted on the boss! Then, we can eat popcorn and watch Lord Holman dismember these disgusting bugs!"
"Hmm." Songke still hesitated.
"By the way, boss, I heard from the police that the person Lord Holman is looking for is a woman disguised as a man. As a result, a large number of excellent hunting dogs have appeared in New York; they can distinguish between men and women. If you still have concerns, boss, then tomorrow morning, we'll call the New York Police Department directly and have them bring the hunting dogs over to confirm those guys' identities..."
“Alright!” Songke finally agreed. “Then, notify the police tomorrow morning! Remember, we mustn’t reveal any clues. Leave everything to the police and Lord Holman!”
While these thugs were discussing their secrets, several ghosts flickering with green phosphorescence witnessed everything and heard every word they spoke. Of course, Songke and his group couldn't see these ghosts.
The ghosts wandered out of the basement and came to Gao Jianfei's room. They woke him up and told him everything they had just heard, word for word.
Gao Jianfei slowly got out of bed, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and a helpless smile appeared on his lips... "These scum! Originally, I wanted to give them a chance to survive, but I didn't expect... Fine, I'll clean up this pile of garbage for the American 'government'!"
Gao Jianfei got out of bed, put on his slippers, and left the bedroom. Then, silently, he killed all 20-odd thugs in Songke! He killed them without drawing blood, using the power of the One Yang Finger to unleash a finger strike from a distance, targeting their foreheads and severing all their brain nerves, killing them instantly.
After killing these guys, Gao Jianfei spent some time using the Heavenly Destruction technique to completely decompose their corpses, and then threw their bones into the Ghost Den.
Then, Gao Jianfei spent a small amount of exorcism points to piece together the souls of these guys. They were all level 1 ghosts, and Gao Jianfei contained them in the first level of his ghost den.
Afterwards, Gao Jianfei released Song Ke's soul. Guided by the soul, Gao Jianfei opened the villa. In the basement, there was a safe containing several pistols, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, a large amount of US dollars, and of course, gold and a small amount of diamonds.
Gao Jianfei threw all of these things into the den of thieves. In other words, Gao Jianfei murdered and robbed, taking all the assets of this underground force for himself.
Right now, Gao Jianfei is desperately short of money and resources. You see, although Gao Jianfei is worth hundreds of millions, his bank accounts are under surveillance. He dares not withdraw a single penny from his cards, and all he has left in the den of thieves is a mere few hundred thousand in loose change… a few hundred thousand RMB!
Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to plunder the wealth of these thugs.
After finishing the work, Gao Jianfei counted the items in the ghost den and found 35 US dollars in cash, a few ounces of gold, and a few diamonds.
In addition, Gao Jianfei also obtained and kept all the ID cards of this group of thugs.
Then, he began making human skin masks in the haunted house.
Making human skin masks of Song Ke and others! This was Gao Jianfei's first time making human skin masks based on foreigners. Therefore, he encountered some technical difficulties.
The golden hair was a problem, and Gao Jianfei shaved his head completely, replacing the human skin mask with a shaved head. As for the blue eyes, there was nothing that could be done about that.
Therefore, the resulting human skin masks were not as lifelike as those made of Chinese people, only about 60-70% similar. The color of the eyes was a major flaw.
Gao Jianfei finished making the human skin mask and put on Song Ke's. Early the next morning, Gao Jianfei had Song Ying and the others wash off their disguises and then put on the human skin masks of Song Ke's men.
Around noon, a policeman came by with a hunting dog to conduct an inspection.
Wearing a baseball cap and posing as Song Ke, Gao Jianfei greeted the policeman. Well, the policeman wasn't very familiar with Song Ke, so Gao Jianfei managed to fool him. Originally, the hunting dog might have sensed that Song Ying and the others were women disguised as men, but at the crucial moment, Gao Jianfei used his basic ghost possession ability, allowing a level 1 ghost to possess the hunting dog, thus getting away with it.
After the police left, Gao Jianfei and his group prepared lunch. After eating, Gao Jianfei pulled his hat brim down low, put his hands in his pockets, and went out.
"Now that I've accepted the mission to kill Holman, I have to take action. It's so frustrating to always be hiding here, relying on luck to evade the police's checks time and time again!" Gao Jianfei strolled slowly around the apartment area. When he encountered stray cats and dogs, he immediately used his basic ghost possession ability to release a level 1 ghost to possess them.
In just a few hours, Gao Jianfei successfully acquired 15 wild dogs and 33 wild cats, spending less than 1 Ghost Exorcism Point.
Gao Jianfei ordered the stray cats and dogs to come to his apartment at night.
At night, Gao Jianfei met up with these stray cats and dogs in the basement of his apartment.
Song Ke and his thugs, their souls now possess these tiny stray cats and dogs. Last night, they were plotting to denounce Gao Jianfei, and now they've become stray cats and dogs—it's truly a huge irony!
Gao Jianfei used his consciousness to transmit a command to the group of stray cats and dogs: "Songke, listen up, tonight, you will go directly to Holman's base. Split up and memorize the location of Holman's villa, the number of defenders, and the layout of the buildings. Then return and tell me everything! Okay, let's go, I'll be waiting for you!"
Upon receiving the order, the stray dogs and cats howled happily for a while, then quickly ran out of the basement and, led by the ghosts like Songk who knew the way, rushed towards the location of Holman Villa in batches.
Gao Jianfei told Song Ying and the others to get some rest. He made himself a cup of coffee, sat in the living room, watched TV, and waited for the cats and dogs to bring back some messages.
…… …… ……
New York, Manhattan, suburbs, Holman's villa.
night.
Around noon, Holman and the guardian deacon, Dale, were discussing their specific plans for investigating Gao Jianfei in the villa. They came up with several plans, then carefully reviewed them, rejecting some and retaining the feasible ones. Meanwhile, Dale had already contacted Holy Land students in Argentina, Venezuela, Canada, and other countries, who would arrive in New York City in a short time.
Holman's hideout resembled a small military base, covering a vast area and equipped with numerous armed bodyguards, snipers, small radar, and even helicopters and tanks. At night, a large number of bodyguards in black patrolled the base.
To put it simply... this military base is so dense that not even a fly can get in!
A group of stray cats and dogs possessed by a level 1 ghost have arrived around the base.
The wild dogs stayed outside the base to observe, while the mutated wildcats, possessing powerful jumping abilities and agility, sneaked into the base like ghosts. With their exceptional night vision, they observed everything inside the base in great detail.
At 1 a.m., the group of stray cats and dogs returned to the apartment.
Gao Jianfei took them to the basement.
Then, Gao Jianfei took out paper and pen and began to draw a layout sketch of the Holman base based on the descriptions of the stray cats and dogs...
Outside the base, some oak and birch trees, as well as other ancient trees, have been planted. The base is surrounded by a wall more than 2 meters high, with an electric fence.
Inside the base, there are machine gun turrets and bunkers, and about 100 heavily armed bodyguards patrol the base at night.
The tanks and helicopters are all in the warehouses behind the base.
...
After working for an hour, Gao Jianfei finally sketched out a rough outline of Holman's complex layout. Then came the study.
As Gao Jianfei rubbed his temples, he pondered how to infiltrate Holman's base.
"Hmm... This location, this villa, should be Holman's residence. However, there are dozens of armed bodyguards guarding the area. Although I have Shi Qian's sneaky and thieving skills, I still don't dare to directly sneak into this villa... Sneaking around won't work, so... a forced attack?"
Gao Jianfei pondered this repeatedly.
He circled Holman's villa with a red pen, then drew several dotted lines, and finally identified a large tree outside the villa, which was directly opposite Holman's villa at a distance of about 300 meters.
"I don't know how to use a sniper rifle, and besides, using one would make too much noise. So... let's shoot arrows!"
A thought flashed through Gao Jianfei's mind, and he entered the Ghost Den directly.
Previously, after Gao Jianfei first learned Hua Rong's archery skills, he had slaughtered a large number of mercenaries under Hu Zi's command, displaying great power and prestige. However, at that time, Gao Jianfei's divine arrow had a range of less than 100 meters. Now, if he wants to repeat the same trick and use the divine arrow to damage the enemy again, he must increase the range.
Hidden in the trees surrounding Holman base, a missile would need a range of at least 400 meters to fire at the base. In other words, a range of 400 meters would be sufficient to cover the entire Holman base.
400 meters?
At that time, Gao Jianfei could only shoot at a distance of about 80 meters.
The target is to increase the range by about 5 times.
This seems difficult, but Gao Jianfei didn't know any internal energy back then. Now, after learning Duan Yanqing's martial arts, his internal strength is very strong! Therefore, increasing his range several times over seems to be no problem at all.
However, the bow and arrows would have to be specially made.
Inside the Ghost Den, there was still a large amount of steel, all of which was top-quality steel in today's society. Gao Jianfei had spent a lot of money to buy it from the market and then threw it into the Ghost Den.
Gao Jianfei immediately went to Tang Long's room and instructed Tang Long to work overtime to produce an iron bow and several hundred arrows. To ensure the shooting range, the weight of the iron bow and each arrow had to be increased!
Gao Jianfei summoned Liang Ziweng, Huang Feihong, Hua Rong, and even high-ranking ghosts like Zhu Changling and Duan Yanqing to Tang Long's room to assist Tang Long in forging weapons.
On the second day, Gao Jianfei and Song Ying stayed cooped up in the apartment, watching TV and chatting. The apartment was stockpiled with a large amount of raw and cooked food, allowing Gao Jianfei and his group, who had taken over the apartment, to survive there for a month without leaving!
Today, there were no police or anything like that coming to bother us.
At dawn, Gao Jianfei entered the Ghost Den. Tang Long had already completed the task entrusted to him by Gao Jianfei.
