Is this what a zombie is?

68. Railgun

Attorney Luo used a more easily understood example to explain to Jiang Chen.

"To put it simply, people who engage in organ trafficking are like Trojan viruses in a computer to society."

"And this collection of resentment is a custom-made antivirus software specifically created to eradicate this kind of virus."

Jiang Chen continued along with what Attorney Luo had said.

"Wouldn't it be better to let the antivirus software keep running and clean up all the viruses?"

"If that's what you think, then I can only say that you're being incredibly naive."

"This kind of free and powerful antivirus software is no pushover; its underlying operating logic is quite rogue."

Upon hearing what Attorney Luo said, Jiang Chen was reminded of a certain renowned antivirus software.

It comes bundled with countless software installation packages, which you can't uninstall. Then you install other antivirus software, only to have it kill you instead.

Therefore, this collection of resentment in front of us also has such potential, so we must forcibly 'uninstall' it before it grows up and displays its rogue characteristics.

Jiang Chen understood the seriousness of the matter, so he prepared to lend Attorney Luo a hand.

"Your abilities aren't enough to defeat him? The stalemate has lasted for so long."

"Don't even mention it," Attorney Luo sighed and explained, "I don't bear the marks of those victims' resentment, so he won't attack me first. But my abilities are unlikely to cause him any real harm either, because they are a product of the victims. Although the victims aren't necessarily innocent, it's not the victim either."

I understand. The mechanisms on both sides restrict each other, which is definitely a strange mechanism.

It's like a monster in a game; as long as you don't attack it, it will treat you like you're invisible and will only attack specific targets.

However, Attorney Luo's capabilities were not well-defined in relation to the victim's actions, and the other party exploited a loophole.

Jiang Chen nodded and took a step forward.

"I'm in a hurry to save people, I don't have time to waste on it. You hold it off for a few seconds, then I'll take care of the rest."

"good!"

Jiang Chen's step forward seemed to be a signal.

The moment its hostility is released, it triggers the self-defense mechanism of the collective resentment.

"roar--"

The bald man locked his gaze on Jiang Chen, and at that moment, Jiang Chen also experienced the perspective of Attorney Luo.

At that moment, the bald man's ordinary face began to contort violently.

The skin swelled up with pustules like boiling water, and the facial features moved and rearranged wildly on the face.

The next second, the face completely collapsed, transforming into a terrifying, roaring maw made up of countless pained faces.

A deafening, piercing scream suddenly exploded in Jiang Chen's mind.

That wasn't one person's voice.

It was the superposition of hundreds and thousands of voices, men, women, young and old.

These voices are filled with the excruciating pain of being ripped open alive, the fear of death, the grief of losing loved ones, and the deepest, most vicious resentment towards the world.

"Give me back my kidney!"

"My child... someone please save my child..."

"It hurts...it hurts so much..."

"I curse you... I curse all of you!"

Endless negative emotions, like a black torrent bursting its banks, frantically assaulted Jiang Chen's nerves and will, attempting to drag his soul into that abyss of despair.

If it were Jiang Chen before his body tempering, this mental shock alone would have been enough to cause his mental collapse instantly.

But his spirit and soul had already been tempered into something incredibly resilient through dozens of cycles of life and death that were comparable to being slowly sliced ​​to death.

He could bear the wailing that was enough to tear the soul apart of an ordinary person, but he couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

Jiang Chen silently said something to these innocent victims in his heart.

Sorry.

I'm sorry, I understand your pain and I agree with your hatred.

But your negative emotions have bred such a monster, and if it continues to exist, it will threaten the order of this society.

So, all I can do is ask you to... rest in peace.

Despite his apologies, Jiang Chen acted without the slightest hesitation or delay.

A deep blue light shone forth from within, radiating and blooming.

Lightning strike patterns light up instantly from the heart, along blood vessels, nerves, and meridians, forming a complex and realistic network of meridians that is as dazzling as a galaxy and covers the entire body.

Having undergone dozens of life-or-death trials, the energy closed-loop network built with itself as the circuit board begins to operate and display its power at this moment.

"Sizzle—!!!"

The violent electrical energy gathered and compressed wildly between his palms.

The electrical energy, originally dispersed and stored in the 365 acupoint energy nodes throughout the body, was instantly converged at an unimaginable speed under Jiang Chen's mental control, following the circuit formed by the lightning strike pattern, and accelerated within the body through its own electromagnetic field.

The blinding, deep blue electric light illuminated the entire manor hall as bright as day.

A strong smell of ozone filled the air, and the ionized air crackled and popped.

Attorney Luo, who was in charge of stopping the collective of resentment, had a solemn expression.

He could clearly sense the terrifying power of the energy in Jiang Chen's palm. It was not a simple accumulation of energy, but a qualitative change resulting from extreme compression and acceleration.

This isn't some kind of palm-sized grenade; this is an electromagnetic cannon.

Also, are you planning to include me in your attack as well?

Before Lawyer Luo could protest, Jiang Chen thrust both palms forward forcefully.

A thick, azure beam of light, as thick as a water bucket, shot out from Jiang Chen's palm.

Railgun!

Jiang Chen had considered this move before, but at that time he did not have the ability to make it happen.

Now, he finally has the ability to execute this move.

The completion rate is quite high, and he only used five percent of his electrical energy for this attack.

Simple and brutal, yet incredibly powerful, it pierced through the mass of resentment in an instant.

The moment the lightning pierced through the black mist, time seemed to stand still for a second.

Immediately afterwards, the body of the aggregate of resentment, like metal thrown into aqua regia, began to boil and disintegrate violently.

Lightning is inherently the most powerful and yang element, a nemesis that dispels all evil.

And the electrical energy that Jiang Chen gained from tempering his body with heavenly lightning is the most domineering of them all.

Countless agonizing faces writhed and screamed in the black mist before being torn to shreds by violent arcs of electricity and evaporated into nothingness.

Those curses, filled with resentment and despair, were as fragile as ice and snow under the sun, melting away swiftly before the azure lightning.

In just a few seconds, the massive black mist, exuding an ominous aura, was completely purified under the continuous bombardment of the railgun, leaving not a trace.

Along with it, several walls of the villa and a large area of ​​vegetation also disappeared.
