Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

"What's going on?!"

Jiang Mian stretched out her finger and touched the protruding scales on her arm.

It has a warm, jade-like texture on your fingertips, but it also has a crisp sound when you tap it, like glass.

Clearly, in this spiritual world, these scales also possess a fairly hard "physical property".

But what's the use of that?

She always believed that even if she awakened the Calamity Sequence and became a diseased person, she was still human.

Whether it's memory, emotions, or values, they are all normal people.

And now...

She knew that in this place, she might exist in the form of a "spiritual body".

Although he didn't know why his spiritual body was like this, as a transmigrator, there was clearly an unexpected deviation.

Jiang Mian suppressed her emotions and forced herself to calmly sort things out.

The three stages of the disease begin with psychological erosion.

After the will gradually collapses, the body will undergo its final catastrophe.

Her current situation is that she has undergone a mental transformation, and although her body has also experienced similar changes, she can actively suppress them when she is conscious.

Fortunately, she has remained conscious, and as long as she continues to absorb nutrients, she can maintain this state.

"Yes, the most important thing is to stay clear-headed! As long as I am still 'me,' that's enough!"

Jiang Mian murmured softly.

Even if...

Even if the soul transforms into a ferocious beast.

She could roughly guess what she would become if she were completely transformed into a calamity.

After all, the calamities along the [Natural Calamity] path are all beast-shaped, and judging from these scales, she is definitely also mutating in that direction.

Jiang Mian has never had high expectations of herself, and she quickly accepted the reality.

Fortunately, I am not on the path of [Chaos] or [Slaughter], otherwise, given my unkempt appearance, I wouldn't even be able to enter a city and would only be able to wander in the mist.

But what's with this bracelet?

It remained there on her wrist, creating a stark contrast with the scales around it.

She reached out to take off the bracelet, but after tugging at it, she found that she couldn't take it off no matter what she did.

"Is it welded to your body?"

Jiang Mian was somewhat dumbfounded, and at the same time, a trace of doubt rose in her heart.

Could it be that Ye Chenyang secretly tampered with the bracelet when he took it to "charge" this morning?

Was his behavior during the day also an act?

"No, it shouldn't be."

Even so, Jiang Mian still felt a strange pang of sadness welling up in her heart.

Isn't his popularity precisely due to his own deception?

She suddenly realized that she was being hypocritical. It was okay to lie to Ye Chenyang, but it was hard to accept that she was the one being lied to.

If he knew the truth, he might chase after me and try to kill me.

Jiang Mian clenched her right hand, and the bracelet seemed to be slightly shaken, emitting a soft light that instantly enveloped her entire body.

It was warm, without a trace of harm, but rather like a kind of protective holy light.

"Croak!"

A shrill scream interrupted her thoughts.

The lump of flesh had now returned to the size of a small car and was huddled trembling in a dent.

It seemed to have been stimulated, and kept contracting inward.

Jiang Mian looked at the bracelet in her hand, and after she let go, the light gradually faded.

It also seemed to have returned to normal, continuing its dark, wriggling motion.

She's overthinking it.

Ye Chenyang's reactions were very genuine when he was with her, so how could he possibly be lying to her?

Jiang Mian didn't dwell on the issue any longer and turned her gaze back to the dark, writhing mass of flesh.

A day has passed, and although it has recovered quite a bit, it's still not enough.

Just when we thought we'd solved the problem of spiritual corruption, another catastrophic threat has emerged...

She took a step and walked toward the edge of her perception.

Her outfit seemed to remain the same as when she went to bed: a slip dress, white stockings, and those platform slippers.

Fortunately, there was no one else around, and she had complete control over the situation, so she didn't feel too ashamed.

Soon, Jiang Mian arrived at the border of the "territory".

She reached out and touched the "invisible wall" in front of her, and with a little effort, she passed through it.

There doesn't seem to be much resistance?

Perhaps it is because she has control over space that she can break the rules and come and go freely?

Jiang Mian became bolder, reaching out her other hand and pulling it aside as if lifting a curtain.

When she looked into it, she instantly got goosebumps.

Jiang Mian could clearly see the surging, blood-red "coastline" in the distance.

Although the distance was far, even beyond her perception, she was still able to "see" their components.

Tentacles.

Densely packed tentacles.

The moment Jiang Mian cast his gaze upon them, they seemed to sense something, as if frozen in place for a fleeting instant.

Immediately afterwards, the torrent of blood surged toward her location at an incredible speed.

However, faced with this situation, Jiang Mian felt a surge of longing and subconsciously swallowed.

She seems to have developed a bit of an appetite for them?

The problem of catastrophic consequences...

"How about we 'eat' just a little bit more?"

……

At the same time, Ye Chenyang returned to his residence.

He went to see Jiang Mian in the morning because he was worried about her condition, but he didn't expect that taking her out for a day would unexpectedly bring them closer together.

Time seemed to fly by when I was with her; I always felt so excited that my mind went blank.

Once he calmed down, he was able to refocus his attention on the important matter at hand.

My progress is faster than I expected.

I thought I was well prepared, but plans can never keep up with changes.

For some unknown reason, the expansion speed of [Formless] far exceeds that of its previous life.

A distinct sense of separation welled up within him.

In its previous life, it secretly developed and completely controlled the "Mutual Aid Society," the largest organization of diseased individuals, and searched everywhere for the "lamb's" original body.

But that happened much later.

Today, its development has accelerated significantly, and it has even spread to Base City 144, a city in the central and rear areas.

What went wrong?

With few clues at hand, Ye Chenyang couldn't make sense of things for the time being.

In this life, apart from the chance encounter with [Apocalypse] and learning that she was from the same hometown as him, there was nothing new he discovered.

After all, information is really scarce in this small place.

If we could find out about their headquarters, we might know where this sense of division comes from.

Ye Chenyang remembered the location of the mutual aid association's headquarters very clearly.

Who would have thought that the headquarters of a large organization of infected individuals would be located within the core urban area, and even in the front-line Base City 7?

That area faces the eastern ocean and is considered the front line in the battle against the marine calamity. It has a large population, including a significant number of awakened individuals.

If he is alone, he can go directly there.

The tickets provided don't actually have time or frequency restrictions, making them a special perk for "geniuses".

Moreover, some of the trump cards from the past can now be used, but...

Suddenly, the image of Jiang Mian's gentle smile appeared in Ye Chenyang's mind.

He remained silent for a moment, then quickly made a decision.

So he took out his phone and made a call.

"Senior Xiao..."
