Chapter 796: The Cement Truck Smashes into the Bar
This massive cement truck, moving at high speed, directly crashed through the main entrance and the nearby walls.
After bursting in, it came to a stop right in the middle of the bar's first floor.
Combined with the suddenness of the incident,
it was impossible to tell how many casualties had been caused in that single instant.
With just a quick glance, one could see people lying unconscious on the ground, others pinned beneath the wheels, and still more collapsed on the floor, groaning in agony.
Inside the bar, after a few seconds of silence, complete chaos erupted.
Everyone stared in terror at the cement truck that had suddenly crashed through the establishment.
Meanwhile, as the men and women inside the bar were caught up in the pandemonium,
the driver's side door of the cement truck swung open.
Those lucky few who had escaped being struck by the vehicle all turned to look in that direction.
What they saw was a figure wearing a Jason mask, gripping a cleaver in their right hand, jumping down from the truck.
This sight left everyone who witnessed it utterly incredulous.
Because a cement truck had just smashed into a bar.
Their first instinct was that this was an accident.
Had the driver been drunk? Or had something else happened?
Even if he was still conscious enough to get out, he should have looked like an ordinary person, horrified by what he'd done.
He should have been kneeling on the ground in terror, or standing there blank-faced, or breaking down in tears.
But...
No one expected that someone wearing a Jason mask would step out.
"You bastard! What the hell are you doing?! Is this some kind of cosplay?! Look at what you've done!!!!!! What have you done?! You've ruined countless lives! You insane lunatic!!!"
At that moment, a young white man in his twenties, spewing German, pushed his way furiously out of the crowd.
He rushed right up to Jiang Ran, who was wearing the Jason mask.
A torrent of verbal abuse followed, one insult after another,
condemning Jiang Ran's terrorist act.
In response, Jiang Ran simply cracked his neck.
"You crazy fool! Do you think just because you're wearing a mask, you're Jason?! You're going to rot in prison!!!"
The young white man kept shouting.
His tirade influenced the others in the bar.
One by one, they grew righteous with indignation, and a few even stepped forward, ready to join in the condemnation.
But just as they came within a few meters of Jiang Ran,
Jiang Ran's right hand suddenly moved. With a single, sweeping arc, the cleaver in his hand sliced directly into the neck of the young white man who had been yapping in his face.
The moment the blade connected,
the young white man went silent, his face a mix of shock and terror.
Then, half of his neck was severed, and a torrent of blood gushed out, not only splattering all over Jiang Ran but also dousing the few people who had been about to join him in his verbal assault.
The noisy bar fell silent for another few seconds.
After those seconds passed, as the people inside processed what had happened, the air was filled with terrified screams of "Ahhhh!" and the sight of people scrambling in all directions.
Jiang Ran said nothing. He swept his gaze around, spotted the staircase leading to the second floor, and immediately headed in that direction.
At that moment, people from the second floor were rushing down those same stairs to escape.
There were too many of them, crowded together,
disorderly and without any sense of order.
This led to a stampede.
An Asian girl, who looked like she might be from Hua Country, probably around twenty years old,
was pushed and shoved right into Jiang Ran's path, colliding directly with him.
When this young Hua Country girl realized what had happened and looked up to see the Jason mask,
her pretty face turned pale with terror, and she let out a blood-curdling scream.
She couldn't even move her legs.
Without a second word, Jiang Ran raised his cleaver and swung it diagonally across the young Hua Country girl's face.
In that single stroke, the girl's fair and beautiful face instantly split open with a horrifying wound, like a bottomless chasm.
Then, with her eyes vacant, she collapsed to her left!
"No! No! Xiao Shuang!!!"
On the first floor, a similarly young Hua Country man, upon seeing the girl Jiang Ran had just killed with a single blow to the face, collapsed in despair and rushed toward her, trying to embrace her.
It seemed this young man and the girl named Xiao Shuang were a couple.
"No! Don't go over there! You'll die if you do!"
Another young man grabbed the devastated man and started dragging him away, pulling him back, anything to get him far from Jiang Ran.
As the young man watched himself being pulled further and further away from his girlfriend, rage overwhelmed his heart, and he actually spat out a mouthful of blood.
Jiang Ran paid no attention to any of this and continued upstairs.
From that point on, anyone who stood in his way, not just the Hua Country girl named Xiao Shuang, would receive a fatal blow from his blade.
Because of this, the people who had been trying to run down the stairs all scrambled back up in terror.
"It's Jiang Ran! It's him! He's coming!!!"
On the second floor.
In the midst of the chaos, when Liu Baobao, who had been leaning over the railing on the second floor, saw the cement truck that had crashed in, she didn't immediately react. But when she saw the "Jason" figure step out of the driver's seat,
she instantly thought of Jiang Ran.
Of course, the young Asian man confirmed this.
He recognized the cement truck on the first floor.
He was one of the people who had helped acquire it. And that Jason mask—he recognized that too.
It belonged to one of the five people from the pit.
That person always liked to wear the Jason mask when carrying out his crimes.
"Run! Hurry!"
They panicked. They were completely panicked.
They never imagined Jiang Ran would track them down to this bar. And even if he did, they never thought he would openly kill people in broad daylight.
The four of them, including Liu Baobao, wanted to escape the bar.
But when they looked at the elevator, it was packed with people. The only staircase up and down was equally crowded.
And to make matters worse, Jiang Ran was already making his way up, step by step.
For a moment, they were so panicked they didn't know what to do.
In the Special Live Stream, inside the live stream room.
The viewers couldn't figure out how Jiang Ran knew that Liu Baobao and her group would be here.
Beyond that, they felt more and more that Jiang Ran didn't seem like a lab rat at all. He seemed even more brutal than a deranged criminal or a serial killer.
Driving a truck into a bar and killing people in public—
he was an absolute madman.
Even real deranged criminals and serial killers wouldn't be so blatant about it.
Hua Country's chat section.
Middle-aged Uncle: [Which alternate personality is this? I feel like this one is even more indiscriminate in killing than all the others that have come out before. More brutal and bloody!]
Fairy Sister: [I think so too. The previous alternate personalities only sought revenge against their enemies. They didn't seem to kill innocent people like this...]
Domineering Female CEO: [The previous alternate personalities never stayed in control for long before switching back to the kind main personality. They never really had a chance to show their evil side, right?]
The viewers from the seven countries in the live stream felt like they were watching a Jason movie.
The Jason film series was known for its slasher-style brutality, and what they were watching now felt like they were seeing the real Jason, not Jiang Ran.
The only ones who truly knew which personality was currently in control were the alternate personalities in the inner landscape world.
