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

They were holding hands, swaying awkwardly from side to side, as if they were performing a shamanistic dance.

Jiang Mian rubbed her eyes and looked again. The ground was so clean it reflected light. Where were the dancing figures?

"Hiss~ The inhibitors stopped working so quickly?"

She stared at the ground as if nothing had ever appeared, but she knew in her heart that those dancing little figures might pop out again at any moment.

The patient's condition can be divided into three stages: from hallucinations to auditory hallucinations and delirium, and then to localized catastrophic changes in the body.

Once this process begins, it can only be stopped and reset by external force.

When she first came into this world, she had already reached stage two because no inhibitor had been found for a long time.

It wasn't until that inhibitor was used that things calmed down for a few days.

Unexpectedly, less than two days after I entered the second stage, the inhibitor became ineffective.

"This medicine is of terrible quality... and it cost me over ten thousand yuan..."

Thinking of this, Jiang Mian gritted her teeth; this amount of money would be enough for her to pay rent for a long time.

"Squeak~"

The sound of a wooden door being gently pushed open came from the ward entrance.

Lin Yun came in carrying a thermos. When she saw that Jiang Mian had woken up, she visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Jiang Mian, you're awake? How are you feeling?"

Seeing that Jiang Mian's gaze was somewhat vacant, she leaned down and asked cautiously.

Jiang Mian has gone through so much and finally awakened, so it can be said that her suffering has finally paid off.

If he has mental problems now, then...

"Teacher...I...I'm fine."

Jiang Mian's voice was weak, as if she had not fully recovered.

She shifted her gaze from the ground to Lin Yun's concerned face, her eyes somewhat unfocused.

My vision seems a little blurry... Oh no, where did she carelessly leave her glasses yesterday to make her performance more realistic?

Jiang Mian subconsciously groped around the headboard.

It seems... this is her last pair of spare glasses.

"Glasses……"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yun recalled that she had hurriedly brought Jiang Mian over yesterday and had completely forgotten this detail.

"Sorry... the scene was quite chaotic yesterday, it might have accidentally fallen into the warehouse..."

She quickly stopped herself, afraid that the word "warehouse" would offend Jiang Mian, and changed her words:

"We couldn't find one. Once you're feeling better, your teacher will take you to get a new pair, okay?"

"No need, teacher, I can manage on my own."

Jiang Mian seemed unwilling to trouble Lin Yun, and didn't appear to have changed much from before.

In Lin Yun's eyes, the intensity of yesterday's elemental storm was enough to demonstrate Jiang Mian's emotions at the time.

Her current calm is probably because she has swallowed her emotions and silently processed them again.

She sighed inwardly. All she could do now was to help Jiang Mian with her emotional needs and take good care of her within her means.

"Don't think about yesterday. It's most important to rest well during this time. Your teacher brought you some porridge, would you like some?"

Jiang Mian nodded obediently, letting Lin Yun adjust the height of the headboard for her.

She lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes obscuring the light in them.

Although losing her glasses was a hassle, she can now perceive her surroundings by the "wind," and the range is quite large, so she doesn't need to rely entirely on her eyes.

However, glasses are an important prop for enhancing her persona, so it's true that she's not used to them yet. She'll get another pair when she has time.

We need to find a way to get some more inhibitors... her wallet is going to suffer again.

……

Meanwhile, inside the North District Police Station.

Li Tian sat on the cold metal chair, his face solemn.

He had just finished an escort mission in the early hours of the morning and was returning from the neighboring base city No. 143 when he received a summons from the Public Security Bureau. The content of the summons was vague, and it was said to be about Li Hao.

At first, he thought Li Hao had caused some minor trouble again and that he needed to step in to resolve it, so he was still angry.

This kid just got out the day before yesterday, and he's already causing trouble again!

This time, I have to teach him a lesson he won't forget, and then lock him up at home for some grueling training.

However, when Li Tian stepped into the police station, he sensed that something was wrong, and the receptionist seemed hesitant to speak... This clearly indicated that something serious had happened!

His heart skipped a beat, and he had an inexplicable sense of foreboding.

"Mr. Li, please calm down. Next, we need to take you to identify... your son's body."

The middle-aged sheriff in charge of receiving us spoke in a serious tone, yet with a hint of caution.

Even the team leader in charge of field operations in their North District is only at the second level. If Li Tian were to cause trouble here without any regard for the consequences, no one would be able to control him.

"A body? What did you say?!"

Li Tian's eyes were like knives as he stared intently at the sheriff.

"Early this morning, while we were on patrol in the north of the city..."

The sheriff briefly explained what had happened, but deliberately withheld information about Jiang Mian.

"That's impossible!"

After hearing this, Li Tian felt incredulous.

"My son was a Tier 1 Awakened, and a defensive-focused [Steel Bones] at that! How could he just be gone like that?!"

Although Li Hao was a good-for-nothing who idled away his days, he was still his son. Now that Li Hao was dead, he couldn't possibly remain indifferent.

The sheriff shook his head, offering no rebuttal.

That's the truth; arguing with Li Tian verbally is more likely to provoke him.

After a while, Li Tian calmed down a bit, and the sheriff continued:

"Mr. Li, please accept our condolences. We have completed all the examinations, and you can now complete the procedures to retrieve Li Hao's body."

His tone was somewhat formulaic and rigid, revealing no personal emotion.

In fact, deep down he still looked down on people like Li Hao.

Last night's events have been clearly explained, with three awakened individuals—Chen Qing, Ye Chenyang, and Lin Yun—testifying on the spot. It can be said that the matter is basically settled.

Having worked in the Public Security Bureau for so many years, he had seen many spoiled brats like Li Hao.

But this was the only time they ran into a brick wall; for most victims, the matter simply faded away...

Li Hao had a criminal record before, and his unexpected defeat can only be attributed to his own fault.

Li Tian knew what the sheriff was thinking, but ignored him.

Even though he had tried his best to calm down, he still couldn't help but tremble slightly when he saw Li Hao's body.

He had multiple wounds all over his body, filled with various debris, some of which even penetrated deep into his body and cut into his bones.

Even though he had been dead for some time, his skin and exposed bones still reflected a metallic sheen, indicating that Li Hao was fully utilizing his abilities before his death.

But in the end... it still didn't make it through.

"Advanced Sequence 1..."

Li Tian learned from the sheriff that Li Hao died from an elemental explosion.

In the world of Awakened Ones, the sequence ranking can clearly show the upper limit of an Awakened One.

The top 50 sequence abilities are already rare, and versatile abilities like [Eye of the Storm] that can both attack and support are even rarer.

As the head of the security department of the Construction Bureau, he understood the value of a high-level sequence awakener better than anyone else.

The base city will never allow anyone to harm such a genius, especially since the new law from above has already been passed...

However, even the advanced sequence has only just awakened.

Just because he can't harm the other party doesn't mean nothing unexpected will happen...

Li Tian's expression was inscrutable, and he remained silent for a long time, seemingly lost in thought.

Finally, he said in a hoarse voice:

"Let's get the paperwork done."
