800 A Parasitic Evil Demon (1/2)

The black figure only had a body without a head. Its arms were wriggling on both sides, like those of a centipede, strong and muscular.
Most terrifyingly, the demon's chest was fully covered in crimson-red eyes. The eyes were all pupils and wriggling as they stared at the pedestrians on the street, full of icy hate!
Mochizuki Chihaya turned around. Her face was replaced by a ghastly mask, which immediately sent the people stumbling away in fear. Even the motorists were so terrified that they could not hold their steering wheels properly!
”Our Mochizuki Clan is stationed on the mountain, to watch out for the demon creatures in the ocean. We're ready to sacrifice our lives to protect the city at all times, but you people only know how to enjoy yourselves and getting drunk in the city… you're nothing but a bunch of parasites!” Mochizuki Chihaya's voice was now utterly weird. Her actual voice was supposed to be clean and elegant, but a different voice was stacked on top of hers.
The cement of the pavement cracked all of a sudden. Black branches grew along the windows of the building like vines and swiftly covered the walls.
Demonic vines and branches were also growing out from the cracks on the pavement. The plants were like living tentacles, chasing after the pedestrians who were fleeing in all directions, including Chao Gang's friends and the people who had demanded justice be served to the Magician who had harmed him. They were all tied up by the demon branches and vines!
More demon branches and trees showed up and spread around Mochizuki Chihaya. At the start, only a dozen people were held captive, but soon thirty people were caught by the demonic plants!
The black branches and vines crawled into the bodies of the pedestrians like worms through their ears, noses, throats, and even their pores were penetrated by extremely thin branches.
The people bound by the plants did not even have the chance to scream. Their skin turned bloated all of a sudden, as new branches sprouted on their bodies...
More flowers, branches, and vines were growing out of their skin. The living humans were turned into half-human, half-tree monsters, a horrible sight!
”Stop it!” a voice shouted from above.
Mochizuki Chihaya raised her head and saw a man standing on the roof of a shop nearby. His black-brown eyes were extraordinarily bright in the darkness looming over the street.
”It's you?” Mochizuki Chihaya looked at the man. Her gaze was rather unfriendly.
”I couldn't stop worrying, so I decided to follow you. As I thought… look what you're doing!,” shouted Mo Fan, while staying a certain distance away from her.
”I...” Mochizuki Chihaya still retained her own consciousness. She looked at her surroundings and saw people running away, teenage girls screaming and kids bursting into tears in fear because of her.
Everyone was looking at her like she was a monster. When she saw the pedestrians that she had turned into plants, she immediately took a few steps back.
The demon branches and vines on the street were withdrawn quickly. Mochizuki Chihaya swiftly summoned them back. The walls of the building nearby returned to normal too. Mochizuki Chihaya turned around and looked at her reflection in the window in disbelief!
The Essence Orb on her hand fell to the ground. Mochizuki Chihaya acted as if she had just seen a devil. She quickly moved away from the orb, not daring to touch it again!
