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

"[Death Knell]?"

Wangchuan's eyes flickered slightly.

At the beginning of their collaboration, Wither had told her about this ability to foresee death.

Because Yang Xin had already gone to search, after some discussion, they decided to use [Formless], and unexpectedly, they actually predicted its death.

This is also known as the "time when the bell tolls".

Therefore, she sent people to warn them and personally monitored the movements of Base City 7.

Although the process was a bit complicated, the result was pretty much the same.

[Wu Xiang] was devastated after that incident and his personality was erased by Jiang Mian in the small realm, replaced by Xu Xiaoan.

In fact, it was already completely dead at that time, which confirmed the prediction of its decline.

This ability sounds incredible, but it also has significant limitations.

Aside from the fact that death itself cannot be predicted,

If the target's death time is outside the range, or if the target is already dead, the skill will not take effect, and a valuable opportunity will be wasted.

Simply put, it cannot be used on long-lived people or the dead.

You have to wait at least three months to use it once, and the number of uses is limited.

After reaching the fourth tier, you will receive a basic opportunity. You can only gain one more spot for each tier you advance.

In other words, he now only has two spots left, one of which hasn't even cooled down yet.

Moreover, if one successfully changes their "fate," the withering itself will be subject to a certain "punishment."

Now that he's come looking for me, I'm afraid...

"You mean me?"

Wangchuan was somewhat surprised.

Withered knew what was going on here; the [Ghostly Locust Tree] he had asked for last time was from him.

It wouldn't be surprising if the prediction spot were given to anyone else, but why was it given to myself?

The withering remained uncommented; it simply watched her quietly.

"What...did you see?"

After activating [Death Knell], the Wither can see some fragmented images and the most crucial reference points in the "bell tolling".

When he first activated his ability against [Formless], all he saw was an endless expanse of darkness.

At that time, Wangchuan still had some doubts.

Killed by one's own power?

That's really outrageous.

But upon closer reflection, it seems that this is indeed the case.

The reason I realized Jiang Mian was "Doomsday" was because of those black flames.

When she made her move tonight, Jiang Mian also used that power, which seemed to be a combination of the power of [Formless] and her own power.

If this shared power were used, erasing the personality of [Formless] would be a piece of cake.

Withered paused for a moment, then slowly uttered a sentence:

"Flame, silver flame."

"!"

……

"Snapped!"

"The series is complete! Hooray!"

As soon as Yin Mengyao left the [World], Jiang Mian smeared her face with confetti cannons.

She expressionlessly removed the ribbon from her head and looked at the smiling girl in front of her.

Wearing a white shirt, a school uniform skirt, and a preppy jacket, along with gold-rimmed glasses, she looked quiet and well-behaved.

But who would have thought that she had almost strangled herself to death just now?

If I actually did that, I would definitely be the most pathetic person to die in history.

Jiang Mian tilted her head and looked at her innocently, saying:

"Are you scared out of your wits?"

"How is that possible!"

Yin Mengyao, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, quickly retorted:

"There was no warning at all, it's really hard for me to do this!"

"Oh, you're alright now."

Jiang Mian waved his hand, and a gust of wind swept through the room, gathering the scattered ribbons into a ball and throwing it into the trash can.

"Besides, Senior You is secretly watching over us."

"He's already at the eighth level. If that [Fierce God] really makes a move, his sword will definitely arrive even faster."

"Oh well."

Yin Mengyao really didn't know about this.

Fortunately, Jiang Mian arrived in time, and he was not injured at all.

Speaking of which, I should thank her... my foot!

If it weren't for her, how would I have ended up there?

However, this is a difficult matter to discuss, since Jiang Mian's intentions were good.

So, Yin Mengyao changed the subject:

"What are you planning to do with that bald guy in your profile?"

To make it easier for "friends" to enter later, Jiang Mian deliberately created an island in the [world].

As soon as she entered, she saw Tian Guang with a bruised and swollen face.

He looks like he's sleeping very peacefully; he won't wake up for at least half a day.

"Oh, that guy."

Jiang Mian sat down in Ye Chenyang's office chair, crossed her legs, and casually said:

"Let's lock him up for a while, and then we'll talk about it after this is over."

That being said, punishment is certainly inevitable.

As for the method, we'll think about that later.

This guy even called for backup before fighting me.

Ye Chenyang was the only inspector who was currently free and closest to him, so he went to "check out the situation".

It would be perfect to have him help me bring the Golden Crow back.

"Alright."

Jiang Mian stood up and patted Yin Mengyao on the shoulder.

"Let me take you home first."

There are too many people around, and considering that Yin Mengyao has just "died," it wouldn't be good if someone saw her like that.

As soon as they finished speaking, a swirling shadow appeared in the room, enveloping them and disappearing into the night.

Jiang Mian deliberately chose a secluded path and soon arrived outside Research Institute No. 1.

"Ugh—"

Yin Mengyao covered her mouth and used her mental power to forcefully suppress the dizziness so that she wouldn't vomit.

To be honest, she felt an instinctive resistance every time she was enveloped in shadows.

It's probably because they lost their sense of space and direction inside.

"Ahem, I guess I won't be needed for anything else for a while, right?"

However, Jiang Mian ignored her and stared blankly into the park.

The No. 1 Research Institute has many buildings, and its layout and decoration are similar to some technology companies she had seen in her previous life.

As Jiang Mian approached, a "voice" seemed to emanate from within.

"Come……"

The voices were indistinguishable as male or female, as if countless voices were overlapping, making them seem particularly eerie.

But for her, it held a strange attraction.

Jiang Mian frowned, just about to investigate the source of this "sound".

The powers of [Eternal Day] and [Return to Nothingness], located deep within consciousness, suddenly shone brightly, repelling this "sound".

She immediately snapped out of her daze, a hint of wariness flashing in her eyes, and asked Yin Mengyao beside her:

"Are they researching something strange here?"

"Um?"

Although somewhat puzzled by Jiang Mian's condition, Yin Mengyao answered truthfully:

"Strange things? There are quite a few, mostly items or creatures that have been shrouded in mist for a long time."

"That's all?"

"Um, let me think about it some more."

Something suddenly popped into Yin Mengyao's mind:

The Sequence Stones, or Sequence Stones inscribed with the pinnacle of calamity.

Could Jiang Mian's abnormality be related to it?

After all, no calamity, not even the ultimate calamity, had ever come into contact with that thing.

However, seeing that Jiang Mian's condition had returned to normal, Yin Mengyao still gave her a brief introduction to the product.

"Stone tablet..."

Jiang Mian crossed his arms and fell into deep thought.

She was inexplicably certain that the source of the "sound" was that mysterious stone tablet.

Ye Chenyang had already told himself the history of when the peak first appeared, so he was fairly familiar with it.

Jiang Mian originally thought this thing was a product of the world's rules, but now it seems that it is not that simple.

She sighed and said:

"Okay, I understand. You can go back now."

Yin Mengyao was taken aback. Why was she suddenly so serious?

It feels strange, I'm not used to it.

However, judging from her attitude, it's highly likely that it's related to the stone tablet.

Yin Mengyao "obediently" turned her head, entered Research Institute No. 1, and walked towards the dormitory.

Watching her departing figure, Jiang Mian also turned around and left without saying a word.

It's best not to think about this too much.

She's not at that level yet.

Far from enough.
