"What do you mean?"

This cold tone stunned Li Hao for a moment.

According to his plan, shouldn't Jiang Mian be completely at his mercy? Jiang Mian's expression now... he had never seen Jiang Mian like this before.

Could it be that the little white flower I randomly picked has poisonous thorns?

Moreover, his abilities constantly gave him a sense of extreme danger.

Li Hao subconsciously activated [Steel Bone], and a faint metallic sheen appeared on his skin, further enhancing his physical abilities.

Then, he exerted force and pulled his hand away.

However, Jiang Mian seemed to have anticipated this, and released his grip as he exerted his strength.

Li Hao stumbled, took two steps back to regain his balance, and looked at her with surprise and uncertainty:

"You're not Jiang Mian?! Who are you?!"

The force just now... actually made him feel a little pain?

How is that possible?

Seeing his panicked appearance, Jiang Mian felt a mischievous glint in his eyes.

This guy has been bothering her for so long, it's time to recoup some of the interest.

Jiang Mian tilted her head, a hint of curiosity and amusement in her eyes, and said:

"Are you humans always so impatient before you can fulfill your desire for education and training?"

"..."

You humans?!

Li Hao's mind went completely blank for a moment.

Calamity?!

It's the kind of highly intelligent calamity that can disguise itself as a human!

It...it has taken over Jiang Mian's body, or...the person in front of me isn't Jiang Mian at all?!

Thinking of this, an immense fear gripped his heart, and he trembled as he said:

"You, you... disaster..."

Although he is indeed an Awakened One, he has no practical combat experience whatsoever. In his usual fights, he just makes up random, unorthodox punches or wins by brute force.

He might not be able to defeat a true calamity, even one whose rank is far lower than his.

Seeing Li Hao's terrified state, Jiang Mian's eyes flashed with a hint of pleasure.

It seems kind of fun?

No wonder the book says that many calamities like to play "pre-meal games"...

"Pfft... Hahaha..." She couldn't help but laugh.

A crisp laugh echoed through the empty warehouse, instantly dispelling the tense atmosphere from just moments before.

"Just kidding! You idiot! You've got no guts..."

Jiang Mian toned it down a bit, but a mischievous smile still lingered on her face, as if this was her true nature.

"You...you're playing me?!"

Li Hao's brain went blank again.

Jiang Mian's laughter was like a blatant insult, causing his expression to contort and turn instantly red.

"Otherwise what? I was just joking with you. I didn't expect you to be so easily scared."

She adjusted her glasses, wiped away tears from the corners of her eyes, and said sarcastically:

"Looks like... you're not only not very bright, but you're also more timid than a mouse?"

Jiang Mian looked at Li Hao's flushed face and the look in his eyes that seemed to want to devour her alive, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Yeah, this expression of impotent rage suits you best."

Her tone was light, yet every word she spoke was profound:

"You cowardly bully, that's all you've got."

A series of humiliations completely humiliated Li Hao, causing him to lose the lychee.

"I kill you!"

He roared and charged at Jiang Mian without regard for anything else.

Now, he had only one thought: to tear the strange Jiang Mian in front of him to shreds!

Just as his fist was about to strike, Jiang Mian calmly turned around and slid to the side at an incredible angle.

"Bang!"

Li Hao's fist missed its target and struck the wooden crate behind her. The crate shattered instantly, sending splinters flying.

He withdrew his fist, turned around abruptly, and saw Jiang Mian standing calmly to the side, still wearing that mocking, smug smile.

Li Hao was so angry that his teeth itched. He didn't care about figuring out what was going on with Jiang Mian anymore and roared as he pounced on her again.

Inside the warehouse, a bizarre chase suddenly broke out.

……

Outside the door, Red Hair and Green Hair, who were leaning against the door, listened to the noise inside, looking somewhat confused.

"Hey, Ah Jie, listen to this noise..."

Red Hair exhaled a puff of smoke and scratched his head:

"Why is she laughing and shouting all the time, and it's still making a clattering noise? Can that girl's physique handle it?"

Ah Jie pressed his ear against the door to listen, but the door was too thick, and he could only hear faint sounds.

At first, when they heard Jiang Mian's laughter and Li Hao's roar, they looked at each other with lewd smiles, thinking that Brother Hao was "disciplining" them. But then something was wrong.

"Something's not right... This sounds like... that girl got away? Is Brother Hao chasing after her?"

"Really? Jiang Mian is so skinny, how could she possibly outrun an Awakened One like Brother Hao?"

A-Jie expressed his doubts.

"It's not that big inside, how could she possibly run away with Brother Hao?"

Just then, another loud noise came from inside the warehouse.

The two exchanged a glance and both saw something was wrong in each other's eyes.

But the door was already locked from the inside, so they could only look around for any usable tools.

"Quick, find some tools and pry the door open!"

……

On the street near Jiang Mian's new home.

Ye Chenyang brought the motorcycle to a stop, opened his left palm, and a faint golden pattern was glowing.

He had just finished a day's work and was getting ready to go home.

However, the power within him belonging to [Eternal Day] seemed to be pulsating abnormally, guiding him in one direction.

One of the main abilities of the [Radiant] Path is providing directional coordinates within the fog.

His ability, as the pinnacle of the [Radiance] path, makes his perception always very sharp.

However, the source of this... felt neither like a calamity nor like an awakened one, which was very strange and reminded him of Jiang Mian from before.

Although he didn't know the other person's name, he was deeply impressed by him.

It was just a fleeting glimpse back then, but now, I feel a slight overlap.

"Let's go take a look..."

Although nothing had happened in Base City 144 in his memory, there seemed to be intense undercurrents running deep.

Ye Chenyang turned the key, restarted the motorcycle, and headed towards the direction he sensed.

The wind in the air today seems a bit unusual.

……

Inside the warehouse, Jiang Mian moved like a nimble swift, using the extreme speed and agility brought by the [Gale] to maneuver and dart through the narrow space.

"Huff~ Huff~"

Li Hao was panting heavily, looking clumsy and disheveled.

Jiang Mian stood in the center of the warehouse, tidying her wind-blown hair.

It sounds a bit mystical, but through the extended ability of [Gale], she can clearly "hear" the sounds in the environment and feel the atmosphere there.

Closer to us were the sounds of green-haired and red-haired men prying open a door, while further away was the sound of a motorcycle engine, which sounded like... that "chili-fried pork" incident we encountered at the Special Operations Bureau before?

At the same time, there were two hurried footsteps. One of them should be Lin Yun? The other was somewhat unfamiliar...

"Oh……"

Jiang Mian's lips curled slightly, and she made a "boom" gesture with her hand towards Li Hao:

"It's almost time~"
