The Indescribable Diary - Chapter 46

Chapter 46: The Event Ends, But Only One Step Away from Wiping Out

Breathing hard, Yu Yi cautiously looked at the Hound. The Star Color was trapped by magic and was effectively disabled for this battle. Without intelligence, the Star Color could neither escape the magic nor enter a Willpower resistance.

“Whew… Psst…”

The sounds of Tindalos came through his ear, sending shivers down his spine. Yu Yi was frozen on the spot. Tindalos charged directly at Yu Yi.

[You have suffered a psychological attack… Willpower check successful. You have not been terrified!]

Instantly, Yu Yi escaped the restraints of the magic. Looking at Tindalos, which seemed infinitesimally close, Yu Yi prepared to dodge.

“This ends here! Mentis. Impulsum!”

Lizi’s voice rang out all of a sudden. The curse, conjured in Latin, formed a magic spell that launched itself towards Tindalos. Tindalos stopped in its tracks mid-air, as though it was trapped by something. Yu Yi seized his chance and swung his sword at the Hound’s head.

“Your magic took four rounds to prepare… isn’t that quite terrible?”

Yu Yi, who had received Lizi’s message long ago, took the time to slash at the Hound multiple times before quickly dodging to the side.

“I’m back for you, so be thankful, alright?”

Lizi glared at Yu Yi after hearing his complaint. Then she retrieved the book named King Huang Yi.

“Give me some time. I’ll look for a spell to repel it.”

“I think there’s no need for that.” Looking at Tindalos, who was weakened considerably by Yu Yi’s blows, Yu Yi said, “Today, we’ll have dog meat to celebrate.”

With the magical restraints being loosened, the Star Color broke through the Tindalos’s control and returned to Yu Yi’s side.

“How much HP left?”

Lizi’s hands stopped flipping through the book as she looked at the weak Tindalos.

“Probably less than 10 points. You’ve slashed him quite a few times after all.”

After a slight estimate, even if the Tindalos was strengthened by the KP multiple times, it would only have an endurance of 24 points. Although it would gain 4 points of endurance every minute, it didn’t stand a chance if they didn’t hesitate. Lizi could place a restraint on Tindalos, while Yu Yi could slash it two or three times. After that, everything would end.

“Now, let’s go!” Holding the Tai Sword, Yu Yi stepped forward before charging at Tindalos.

“Okay, I need a bit of time!”

Lizi squatted behind as she flipped King Huang Yi open and began to sing.

The KP’s dice rattled, then the sound ended abruptly. Yu Yi didn’t really care. However at that instant, everything stopped. A man walked from the shattered door of the church while clapping.

“What a great show.”

After seeing the newcomer, the Tindalos whimpered before quickly running to the man’s side.

“…You?!”

It was no other but the mafia leader, whom Yu Yi and Huahua had met at the old church.

Wait?! What was this plot progression?! The Hound should be dead by now! And then the mafia leader, whom they thought was their allies at the start, but became an enemy halfway through… seemed to be good friends with the Tindalos? Looking at the Tindalos, which looked almost pitiful by the man’s feet, Yu Yi thought his eyes were playing tricks on him.

Damn?! This can’t be right?! Didn’t their anthropology check pass the last time?! He had to be human! So you are a substitute too?! Sure enough, substitutes attracted each other!

The man took his walking stick from his henchmen. He stared at Yu Yi, Lizi, and the Star Color behind them.

“Not bad. I thought you all were here to die… but I didn’t expect you to defeat that thing! Are you really human?”

“I doubt you’re human… you seem to have a good relationship with the Tindalos.” Yu Yi took out his pistol, loaded it, and cocked it before aiming it at the man. However, Yu Yi’s opponent seemed not to care about Yu Yi’s actions.

“You mean the Hound? I guess I’m not on very good terms with it, but not too bad either… It’s the most important to summon my Lord, so I can’t allow you to just kill it like that.” The man reached out and patted the Tindalos before looking at Yu Yi. He continued, “I was wondering how to get rid of that thing… These foreigners are troublesome, even if they’re dead. But the problem solved itself, hasn’t it?”

Obviously, he was referring to the Star Color. The Hound was left here to face off with the Star Color, which still remained. However, Yu Yi had discovered the Hound. It had intended for an easy kill, but was almost beaten to death by Yu Yi. The mafia leader had no choice but to show his face.

“So, who are you?”

All of a sudden, Juzi emerged behind the man. The AK47, which used to belong to Huahua, was aimed squarely at the man’s head. He must have gone to look for Huahua’s lost rifle.

“Imhs…” The man turned around, as strange syllables emerged from his throat.

“Ratatatatat…”

Without any hesitation, Juzi’s AK47 spewed a tongue of fire, as a volley of 7.62 bullets hit the man’s body. Although keeping the man alive would help Yu Yi learn more about the truth behind everything, his death could solve the problem too!

The man’s body collapsed on the ground. He was pulverized by the 7.62 bullets. The Tindalos attacked Juzi, who promptly threw the rifle away and rolled towards the side. However, it seemed like he had failed to dodge, as a strange tentacle emerged out of nowhere and penetrated Juzi’s body.

“Ugh…Ahem…Oh no…Massive Failure…”

Juzi spat a mouthful of blood and stared at Yu Yi, clenching his jaw. Then, he crumpled onto the ground. He must have rolled a Massive Failure and was killed instantly.

The tentacles didn’t emerge from anywhere else, but from the mafia leader’s henchman, who was in a black suit.

“So, I really hate it when you don’t listen to explanations. Do you know how much effort I put in to make this body work as my substitute?”

A screeching sound rang out. It was peculiar, nauseating, and filled with indifference and disdain.

The black suit cracked and disintegrated as green skin appeared on the henchman. He had no facial features. He was formed by clumps of tentacles, which made his massive frame disgusting.

[Let’s have a Willpower check. After witnessing an indescribable horror and the death of a close friend, you have to go through one check.]

[. rd = 4, Great Success. Tell me. Are you hacking?]

Although it was invisible, Yu Yi could imagine the KP’s angry and exasperated expression.

“Wow… I’m going to die! Daocao, I lost 17 points of sanity value in one go! I’m going to tear my card?! Damn, why did the Star Family appear now!!!”

Speaking through clenched teeth, Lizi felt immense pressure.

The Tindalos suddenly made a dash at Lizi. Its claws were raised. Lizi, who was already insane, lost all ability to dodge. She was directly hit by the paw. She flew into a corner and lost her breath.

[Okay, your team is almost wiped out. There’s only you left. Aren’t you going to accompany them?]

This KP was so mean… Damn, what should he do now?! The Hound was troublesome enough! And his teammates were dead too!! And now, there’s another Star Family to deal with! These f**king non-humans!! Non…human?? Eh?! Non-human?!

“KP…” All of a sudden, Yu Yi thought of something.

[Don’t think about charming them. They both have very high Willpower. Would you even like a combination of Star Family and Tindalos?]

“I want to activate my skill!”

Raising his pistol, he pointed it at the Star Family.

“Oh? What a stubborn guy. Was it so bad being dog chow? Hmmm…” The Star Family, which was laughing at Yu Yi, felt a sudden wave of energy surge into his body.

Boom!

“The opponent did not dodge! Since it’s body size is big, I should have a boost, right? So! Activate skill! The Song of the Floating Island!” Pulling the trigger, Yu Yi was ready for the final shot.

.45 gauge ammunition fired from the muzzle of the M1911. It penetrated the Star Family’s body. The opponent ignored the bullet completely. It didn’t expect the bullet to do any damage.

[. rd=11, shooting check success. Your opponent did not dodge! Effective hit!]

[The Song of the Floating Island (skill card – one-time use): After equipping this skill card, it can be activated once in an instance mission. After activation, the player can conduct one shooting attack on any non-human target. Conduct a 1d5 check. If the points are 1.3.5, the enemy would be killed instantly.]

[. r1d5 = 3]

[Your target is non-human. The skill is effective… You have successfully shot and killed the Star Family.]

There was no time to celebrate. Yu Yi turned to face the Tindalos, which was charging at him.

“Star Color! Restrain it!”

Yu Yi commanded the Star Color to apprehend the Tindalos as he threw the pistol aside and grabbed the Tai Sword. He charged towards the Tindalos.

Swing the sword—-

[The Event Ends]

[The Event is Resolved]

[4 Investigators dead, 1 Investigator survived]

[After the main executor was lost, the mafia was left in disarray. Yu Xing left amidst the chaos and disappeared from the people’s from then on. The chaos in Butaya had just begun. During the mess, the military took over the town. Here, they found a conspiracy that was stopped right in its tracks, as well as the remains of tens of thousands of victims. What exactly happened in that period of time… would stay hidden forever.]
