They traveled through time at the same time, but the villainous scientist

Chapter 420 Tomie? !
A few minutes later, when the veterans finished their brief strategic meeting and were preparing to assemble the team to set off, they discovered that the small table that belonged to the newcomers was now empty.

The food on the plate had been touched only a few times, and there was still a ring of wet water around the milk glass, but Lu Renjia, Xiao Bingyi, and Jun Zhongding seemed to have evaporated into thin air and disappeared without a trace.

"What about people?"

Zheng Zha frowned, his gaze sweeping over the empty seats, a hint of displeasure appearing on his face.

In such an environment where death could be a constant threat, leaving the main force to act alone is tantamount to suicide.

"Most likely... he left on his own."

Chu Xuan pushed his glasses and replied.

"Um……"

Zhang Jie nodded. As a dual-A level enhanced mental power controller, he was quite sensitive to energy.

He didn't feel the attack just now...

"Zhan Lan".

Zhang Qi then spoke directly to Zhan Lan.

"clear."

Zhan Lan nodded and closed her eyes. An invisible spiritual force, like a fine and gentle spider web, instantly covered the entire hotel, centered on her.

Countless images, sounds, and emotions flooded into her mind like a tide, which she quickly filtered and selected.

"Found them... those three white... newlyweds, they got into the elevator with a woman. Looks like they went to a hotel room."

A few seconds later, Zhan Lan's expression turned somewhat strange.

She paused, then complained:

"I really don't know whether to say they're brave or just driven by lust. They were almost torn apart by a ghost last night, and now they still have the mind to think about this kind of thing... Men really are all animals that think with their lower bodies."

Without hesitation, she directly transmitted the images she had scanned to all the senior members present via [Mind Link].

A clear image emerges in everyone's mind.

It was inside a luxuriously decorated sightseeing elevator.

Lu Renjia and his two companions, like the most loyal guards, surrounded a woman dressed in a black dress.

The expressions on their faces were one of almost fanatical obsession, their eyes burning with undisguised desire, as if the woman before them was everything in their lives.

And that woman...

The moment her image appeared in everyone's minds, an indescribable shock suddenly gripped everyone's hearts.

It was a feeling that transcended language.

Exquisitely perfect facial features, snow-white and delicate skin, cascading long black hair, and a bewitching and alluring beauty mark at the corner of her eye.

She simply stood there quietly, yet she seemed to become the center of the entire world, radiating a primal attraction that no male could resist.

"Ok?"

Zheng Zha's breath hitched, and a violent, primal urge rose from his lower abdomen, instantly breaching the dam of reason.

He wanted her, and he would possess her at all costs! He wanted to meld her into his very being, to make her exist solely for him!
His eyes began to bloodshot, his muscles bulged uncontrollably, and a destructive urge and possessiveness intertwined, almost driving him mad.

At the same time, Zhang Qi's eyes also showed a momentary daze.

A burning possessiveness, like a venomous snake, coiled around his mind.

However, unlike Zheng Zha's rage, Zhang Qi, who had experienced cultivation alongside the One Under One, was not severely affected.

Because within the cultivation system of a solitary world, cultivation means learning to restrain one's desires...

The next moment, that possessiveness was shattered instantly by his stronger will, like a wave crashing against a reef.

With a thought, he regained his clarity and immediately gave Zhan Lan the order.

"Zhan Lan, shut down the mental link!"

"Hey?!"

Zhan Lan was startled by the sudden shout, and then realized the seriousness of the problem.

She dared not delay and immediately severed the [mental link].

As the image in my mind disappeared, so too did that clinging, seductive allure.

"Damn it... what the hell is this?!"

Zheng Zha leaned on the table, panting heavily, still shaken.

Overlord and Zero also turned pale; they were similarly affected.

"If I guess correctly..."

Zhang Jie swallowed hard, his expression more serious than ever before, and said with a hint of unease,
"Given this appearance and this ability... it must be Tomie."

"Tomie?"

Zheng Zha was unfamiliar with this name.

“A…monster.”

"From Junji Ito's horror manga. A woman with a bewitching charm, capable of driving all men mad for her, even to the point of killing each other and dismembering her."

What's most terrifying is that every piece of her flesh and every drop of her blood can regenerate into a complete, identical Tomie.

She...cannot be killed.

Zhang Jie sighed and continued:
"If it's just Tomie, although it's troublesome, there's always a way to deal with it."

What I'm really worried about is... now that Tomie has appeared, this world is very likely mixed with other monsters from that manga artist's works.

For example, the "double one" curse, the "human head balloon"...

Zhang Jie's words made everyone's heart skip a beat; the God's mission was indeed not that simple.

"Tomie? Interesting."

In the dead silence, Chu Xuan's voice suddenly rang out.

He adjusted his glasses, and a hint of...interest appeared on his face?

Did you feel anything just now?

Zhang Qi's gaze fell on his face.

"Have."

Chu Xuan nodded, readily admitting it.
"Although I am weak, I do have an urge to get close to her and understand her. It's like seeing something I've never seen before and wanting to dissect and analyze it."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zha, Zhang Jie, and the others' gazes towards Chu Xuan immediately changed.

Thinking to myself, Tomie is indeed terrifying; even Chu Xuan, with his poker face, fell for her trick...

Zhang Qi nodded thoughtfully. He recalled the results of his previous examination of Chu Xuan's body using the [Body Cultivation Furnace].

Chu Xuan's brain structure is different from that of ordinary people, and he hardly secretes hormones related to emotions.

Physiologically speaking, he is a person who is incapable of feeling emotions.

But Tomie was able to overcome this physiological limitation and affect him.

This suggests that her abilities do not simply act on hormones or biological instincts, but rather on a deeper level of power.

"It has some research value."

Zhang Qi made a judgment in his heart.

He looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Plan changed. Let's go rescue those three idiots first."

"But……"

Zheng Zha hesitated; he didn't want to give up on these three newcomers so easily.

But if we provoke an unkillable monster for the sake of these three newcomers, things will get complicated...

"Tomie only has physical regeneration capabilities; it doesn't have anything special about it."

Zhang Qi interrupted him. He paused, his gaze sweeping over the remaining newcomers.
"And we must go."

"I need to make everyone understand one thing—as long as you don't actively betray the team, no matter how stupid or weak you are, the Zhongzhou team will not easily give up on any of your teammates."

This is the cornerstone that allows us to continue as a team.

These words made Zheng Zha's eyes light up, and he nodded heavily.

Upon hearing this, Qi Tengyi was somewhat excited and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhao Yingkong frowned, because this concept was different from that of an assassin.

Ming Yanwei was taken aback, and a strange light appeared in her eyes as she looked at Zhang Qi.

"Zhan Lan, lock down their room number. Let's go."

……

Guided by Zhan Lan, the Zhongzhou team quickly arrived at the door of a presidential suite on the top floor.

"right here."

"Zhan Lan said."

The door was tightly closed, and no sound could be heard from inside.

Zhang Qi donned the bio-armor and, without even knocking, simply twisted the doorknob, shattering the lock instantly.

The scene behind the door then came into view.

The luxurious living room was in a mess, with the expensive sofa torn apart and the crystal coffee table overturned on the floor.

In the center of this mess, Lu Renjia, Xiao Bingyi, and Jun Zhongding were entangled together, naked.

Their bodies were covered in scratches and bite marks, and they were covered in blood.

With bloodshot eyes and devoid of all reason, they attacked each other in the most primal and cruel way, like three wild beasts fighting for mating rights.

Not far from them, on a large leather sofa, a woman named Tomie was reclining.

She was wearing only a black lace lingerie set that perfectly accentuated her breathtaking curves. Her long, slender, snow-white legs were crossed, one hand supporting her chin, the other holding a glass of red wine, as she watched the bloody farce unfold with great interest.

Noticing the door open, she seemed to frown slightly in displeasure, then slowly turned her head to look at Zhang Qi.

She put down her wine glass and stood up. Her smile became even sweeter and more alluring, enough to drive any man mad.

“You come…”

She parted her lips slightly, and her soft, alluring voice uttered just two words.

However, what greeted her was neither a man's infatuation nor a look of amazement.

Instead, it was a pure white beam of light that destroyed everything.

Zhang Qi didn't even give her a chance to utter a complete sentence.

The moment he saw Tomie, the particle cannon on the chest of the Guyver armor was instantly activated.

The pure white beam of light instantly traversed the distance of the living room and accurately struck the stunningly beautiful woman who had just stood up.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

Tomie's smile froze, and a look of utter astonishment flashed in her obsidian-like eyes.

The next instant, her body, along with the black lace lingerie she was wearing, silently disintegrated and annihilated, starting from the core that was hit by the beam of light.

It did not turn into ashes or charcoal, but was completely wiped out at the molecular level, leaving not a trace.

The beam of light pierced through her body, struck the wall behind her, leaving a bottomless, mirror-smooth hole that led directly to the blue sky outside the hotel.

As Tomie disappeared, the three newcomers who were frantically fighting suddenly stiffened, the red light in their eyes quickly faded, and then they fell straight backward like three soft mud bodies from which all their bones had been removed, unconscious on the ground.

However, Zhang Qi's gaze did not relax in the slightest, remaining coldly fixed on the three bodies lying on the ground.

really……

At this moment, a strange scene happened.

The skin on the necks of the three unconscious newcomers began to twitch, and their bones made a sickening "crackling" sound.

Flesh and blood rolled over, and one, two, three... three heads exactly like the one that had just been destroyed, actually "grew" out from the necks of the three of them!

Those three stunningly beautiful faces no longer possessed any allure or sweetness.

Instead, there were three pairs of eyes filled with resentment, madness, and endless malice.

Their gazes were fixed intently on Zhang Qi.

"Giggle...giggle..."

Three mouths simultaneously parted into eerie arcs, emitting overlapping, venomous, and shrill laughter...
