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

Where are they?

In the crowd, the one-eared man looked incredulously at Jiang Mian's side.

Even if Yuan Feng is killed, there's no way his body would be completely destroyed, right?

Could it be that……

"Eaten?"

Someone nearby muttered something under their breath, and even they felt a chill run down their spine after saying it.

These words seemed to have flipped a switch, and the atmosphere around them suddenly became eerie.

Everyone here is a mutated being, and theoretically, they possess the same ability as the Calamity to "feed" and advance.

Even in this underground street, cannibalism is explicitly prohibited.

Once this precedent is set, it will be uncontrollable, spreading rapidly and eventually attracting official crackdown and reckoning.

That was a real cleaning.

Compared to it, all previous containment operations were just child's play.

Although Base City One is quite a distance from here...

But for those top experts, it's just a matter of a flick of the finger to get there.

"Bullshit, with that mad dog's physique, how could this woman possibly devour him so quickly?"

One-Ear, fully aware of the seriousness of the situation, exclaimed excitedly.

It would have been better if they hadn't said anything. But now that person has brought it up in the open, things are definitely different.

This underground shopping mall has a history of at least several decades.

In theory, it brings together all the patients from the first three base cities.

The reason why the total number of cases has remained the same is because similar cases occur from time to time.

"Ah... haha, that's true."

The man then realized what was happening, scratched his head, and awkwardly shut his mouth.

Silence fell again.

Jiang Mian glanced around and nodded to himself.

It seems that things aren't as chaotic as I thought; "cannibalism" is still the bottom line etched into people's bones.

At least that's how it appears on the surface.

Indeed, to draw nourishment from flesh and blood, one must devour it raw, just like those calamities.

Since there are plenty of Calamity Cores as growth resources, who would bother to devour the remains of their own kind?

However, she was too lazy to explain.

This clone is meant for disguise, so the more terrifying the image appears to others, the better.

Jiang Mian glanced at the capable woman standing upright beside him and slightly raised his chin:

"Hey, you."

The woman's body tensed slightly as she looked at her, the hostility she had shown moments before completely gone.

Even without seeing the battle, the outcome was obvious.

The person in front of me is a formidable character, at least at the fifth rank.

Judging from her relaxed demeanor, I'd venture to guess that she might even be at the sixth level.

"What's wrong?"

Jiang Mian tossed the inhibitor in her hand, her previous "shyness" vanished, a smirk playing on her lips, and she arrogantly declared:

"Do you want to avenge your people?"

She paused for a second, then shook her head.

There are no more than two hands' worth of sixth-tier diseased individuals in this vast underground city; they can practically roam freely.

She couldn't possibly provoke such an entity for a bottle of inhibitor and a disobedient thug.

Upon seeing the inhibitor in Jiang Mian's hand, she had already guessed the whole story.

"I'm sorry, my people were the ones who offended us today."

She took a step forward, and the thugs behind her instinctively tried to follow, but she stopped them by raising her hand.

"What is your name?"

"I?"

Jiang Mian thought for a moment and then casually made up a name.

"Xu Miao."

The woman nodded, took a purple ring from her pocket, and handed it to him.

"My name is Jiang Ning, and I'm in charge of them. Miss Xu, this is a small token of my apology. This bottle of inhibitor is also for you."

Jiang Mian took the ring and probed it with a wisp of spiritual energy.

It's almost entirely filled with Calamity Cores, starting at Tier 4 and ending at Tier 5, with all sorts of paths, and there are quite a few of them.

In addition to the value of the space equipment itself...

Wow, this person is so rich? They just gave it away like that?

Jiang Mian casually tossed the ring and the inhibitor into the shadows and said indifferently:

"Okay, I'll take it."

Since I've already got it, I might as well take it.

Jiang Ning's eyes flickered as he glanced at the shadow at her feet.

"A chaotic path? No wonder."

After reaching the fifth stage, it is the most difficult stage for the diseased person, and it is almost impossible to maintain a complete human form.

This applies even to higher-order sequences, unless they are inherently adept at concealment.

After breaking through to the sixth level, although it can remain relatively stable, the pathological characteristics will be retained and it will become a complete part of the body.

Some with strong recovery abilities will grow back even if manually removed.

This "Xu Miao" looks no different from an ordinary person, and has almost nothing to do with the diseased person, but she revealed her true nature as soon as she made a move.

The aura was somewhat faint, probably because it was deliberately concealed.

As someone with the [Chaos] path, the fact that he could easily crush Yuan Feng in close combat suggests that he is indeed at the sixth rank.

Jiang Ning bowed and led his thugs backward.

She only breathed a slight sigh of relief after Jiang Mian's figure disappeared from sight.

"Sister Jiang, that woman just now was really..."

One of the thugs had just opened his mouth when Jiang Ning glanced at him, and he immediately shut up.

She didn't say anything, and continued walking briskly forward, with the group of people obediently following behind.

Jiang Ning slowed down only after turning into a relatively quiet alley.

"The fifth-tier [Trapped Beast] couldn't even last a minute against Xu Miao."

She turned her head and whispered:

"Now you know what to do if you encounter this again, right?"

"clear!"

Everyone said in unison.

"Let's go back and continue the investigation."

Jiang Ning waved his hand, signaling everyone to relax.

But... why did she always have a bad feeling about it?

……

Jiang Mian slowly turned around and walked to the other side of the street.

The surrounding crowd seemed to be dispersed by an invisible aura, and they all made way for her.

Just kidding, this big shot is someone who can make Jiang Ning bow his head and even apologize!

What if someone doesn't like you and eats you up in one bite?

With her strength on display, even if she really did "eat people," no one would dare to utter a sound.

Those who were just admiring her appearance are now all huddled at the back of the crowd, afraid of being approached.

Especially one ear.

He stared intently at his toes until the slender figure in the black dress completely disappeared before he dared to breathe.

"Beautiful women really can be ruthless!"

Jiang Mian ignored the thoughts of the passersby and looked in a certain direction as if she sensed something.

The Golden Crow's clone is based on her "fire," and naturally inherits the ability of the original "fire seed."

After entering the fifth level, the marking range seemed to have expanded considerably, almost covering the area where her perception was focused.

If she wanted to, everyone in this neighborhood could be set on fire instantly.

That guy was so close to me just now; lighting the "spark" was just a matter of a thought.

However, before finding the other person...

Jiang Mian beckoned to a shadowy spot and said:

"come out."

As soon as he finished speaking, the shadows rippled, and a dark-faced man emerged.

It was A Xiang.

When he learned that "Xu Miao" was the [Chaos] path, he already had a bad feeling.

Last night, the boss issued a notice stating that the high-risk calamity that appeared in the city was the pinnacle of [Chaos], [Formless].

In this way, everything makes sense.

He had only recently reached the fifth rank, and was clearly insignificant compared to such an existence.

"You've been following us all this way, haven't you seen enough? Tell me, who sent you?"

Ah Xiang opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

Jiang Mian saw the fear hidden deep in his eyes, smiled, and said gently:

"Don't worry, I won't eat you."

Ah Xiang: "..."

It seems even scarier now?
