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

The moment that golden light entered between his eyebrows, Jiang Mian felt his consciousness filled with a blinding light.

Although she can devour calamities, theoretically she could also consume the flesh and blood of awakened beings.

However, Ye Chenyang's abilities seemed to be of a particularly high level. The Calamity Core within her body believed that her territory had been invaded and subconsciously wanted to retaliate.

Jiang Mian felt a chorus of alarm bells ringing in her mind, and she used almost all her willpower to suppress her body's instinctive impulses.

"No, this kid is still hugging me..."

Although she resisted somewhat, as someone who had fainted, she couldn't fight back.

If any abnormal reaction occurs and this guy discovers it, all our efforts will be in vain.

However, this suppression caused the light to gradually spread.

Jiang Mian did not sense any hostility from the light; on the contrary, it carried a soothing power. However, due to the natural repulsion between the light and her body, her already pale complexion became even more pronounced.

If this keeps up, she'll really start breathing out...

Only after Ye Chenyang moved his finger away did Jiang Mian release the suppression on the core of the calamity, instantly devouring the "intruder".

"This stir-fried pork with chili peppers... what kind of ability does it have?"

Jiang Mian didn't know the other person's name yet, so she could only call him that for the time being.

When he entered, he displayed a protective golden light-like ability, but what he just used on me was not a physical barrier, but a skill to soothe the mind.

But... she clearly sensed that the other party was only at the first level...

Could it be another vertex sequence...? Am I really that unlucky?

Nearly two hundred base cities... There are only five top-tier sequences belonging to humanity, how could I possibly encounter one of them right away?

She's definitely overthinking it...

After Ye Chenyang put down the [Heart Lamp], Jiang Mian in his arms seemed to curl up almost imperceptibly.

"Um?"

Before he could think any further, two hurried footsteps quickly approached.

"Jiang Mian!"

"Ye Chenyang! What's the situation inside? Jiang Mian, she..."

Ye Chenyang's eyes narrowed, and he carefully picked up Jiang Mian in his arms. He turned to face the two people who rushed in, revealing a hint of exhaustion.

The first-tier ability of [Radiant Blade] is to condense a light blade, which also provides a certain amount of physical resistance.

However, it would be too unbelievable for a first-tier [Radiant Blade] Awakener to traverse an elemental storm of this magnitude without expending any energy.

Lin Yun immediately spotted Jiang Mian, who was "unconscious" in Ye Chenyang's arms. Seeing her pale face, she rushed over and said anxiously:

"How is she?"

Chen Qing followed closely behind, his expression grave, especially when his gaze swept over Li Hao's corpse, he frowned even more.

The tall body lay sprawled in a pool of blood in a twisted posture, covered with cuts of varying depths, with small debris embedded in the wounds.

Although the strong winds just now swept away most of the odors, the smell of blood was still very strong.

After checking Jiang Mian's condition, Lin Yun realized that his body had entered a self-protective state of dormancy due to excessive exertion.

As for whether there is any damage to the internal organs, an examination is needed.

In her view, Jiang Mian probably awakened under critical circumstances this time. Although there were no obvious physical injuries, the psychological damage was real.

An eerie silence fell over the scene.

Lin Yun looked outside; the rescuers she had contacted earlier still hadn't arrived.

She was about to turn and ask Chen Qing when she followed his gaze and saw Li Hao's corpse.

As a support-type Awakened, she had served in the city defense in her early years, but she always stayed inside the walls to assist other Awakened in healing.

Her second-tier ability can temporarily dispel pain, and when combined with some more "hardcore" treatment methods, the effect is quite good.

During that time, Lin Yun had seen many seriously injured soldiers, but the way Li Hao died... it was painful to watch.

"retribution……"

Although it didn't conform to her professional ethics, from Jiang Mian's perspective, he deserved it.

Chen Qing stepped forward, squatted down, and carefully examined Li Hao's body.

"Multiple fatal wounds, plus secondary injuries from these debris. Ye Chenyang, was this the scene when you came in?"

"Yes."

Ye Chenyang nodded and stated:

"When I broke through the wind field and came in, Li Hao had already lost vital signs."

Jiang Mian was huddled in the corner, her mental state extremely unstable, and she quickly fell unconscious due to exhaustion.

"The elemental storm caused by the eye of the storm... No wonder my ability failed."

Chen Qing murmured, "To be able to trigger such a large-scale elemental burst right after awakening, Sequence 48, truly formidable..."

She sighed and didn't say anything more.

Just then, police sirens suddenly sounded outside.

Several sets of footsteps approached from afar, and the police officers from the North District Public Security Bureau and paramedics from the North City Hospital arrived at the scene one after another.

Chen Qing stepped forward and briefly explained the situation to his colleagues. Then, he had someone carry the "unconscious" Jiang Mian onto the ambulance.

……

The next day.

"Hmm...an unfamiliar ceiling..."

Jiang Mian slowly opened her eyes, her consciousness gradually returning.

She was extremely nervous last night when the doctors examined her, afraid that she might accidentally give herself away.

Fortunately, my calamity core has stabilized completely after this period of time.

Without opening one's own chest to examine it, a machine alone cannot detect it.

The result was naturally that everything was "normal," except for the body's usual arrhythmia and malnutrition.

Thinking of this, Jiang Mian's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

Yesterday's commotion didn't actually consume much physical strength; it was more of a mental exhaustion.

The activation method of [Gale] is quite unique.

It's like extending your consciousness into the surrounding environment and then naturally controlling the 'elements'.

It would be a lie to say she was exhausted to maintain that level of control yesterday.

As it stands, no one seems to doubt themselves.

Once this is over, I'm definitely going to treat myself to a good meal.

As soon as this thought crossed Jiang Mian's mind, it drifted away.

In this fog-shrouded world, some ordinary ingredients have become rare delicacies.

The land outside the city was shrouded in mist, and humanity was confined within high walls.

Because of the small population, crop production can keep up, while meat is considered a luxury.

Even milk tea is considered a rare commodity.

That's why Jiang Mian was in a particularly good mood last time when there was an extra meal.

"But then again..."

Jiang Mian pulled the blanket up and stared blankly at the ceiling.

"If I can successfully impersonate an Awakened [Eye of the Storm], things should improve considerably."

She turned over, trying to clear her mind of those distracting thoughts.

His immediate priority was to maintain his disguise, in case Li Hao's awakened father came looking for trouble...

Teacher Lin, and those two sheriffs, should all know that they are "genuine" Sequence 48s, not like Li Hao.

At that time... it might alarm the higher-ups.

Just as her thoughts were wandering, she seemed to catch a glimpse of a row of dancing... bear cookies on the floor out of the corner of her eye?
