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

"Brother Ye!"

As soon as Ye Chenyang pushed open the office door, Jiang Mian clung to him like a koala.

He put his arm around Jiang Mian's waist and leaned down to kiss her.

Even though he had been officially employed for some time, Ye Chenyang still felt a burning sensation in his heart every time he saw Jiang Mian.

She seems to change a little bit every day now.

It's like shedding a hard, thorny armor to reveal a soft, warm interior, making you want to stick to it.

A moment later, Jiang Mian stepped back onto the ground.

The shadow beneath Ye Chenyang's feet shifted slightly, and then a crow emerged.

Meow~

Jiang Mian picked up the Golden Crow, which he hadn't seen in a long time, and rubbed its head with his fingertips.

Before Ye Chenyang brought it back, Jiang Mian did not send Hong Liu to "rescue" it, leaving the clone to be "detained".

From Wangchuan's perspective, although he was irritable, he had a fairly clear understanding of the situation.

The reason they didn't fight was because they were afraid that if they actually started fighting, the four eighth-level humans outside would return to help, so they would resolve the internal issues first before doing anything else.

For them, the most important thing is always their core circle.

If Base City One is destroyed, given Ye Chenyang's current strength, it would probably take several years to rebuild an identical "Changming".

Even if Hongliu and Xuanhuang were incredibly powerful, they couldn't possibly handle six eighth-tier opponents simultaneously.

Therefore, actively provoking disputes is not worth the effort.

Moreover, the River of Oblivion has the "Other Shore," which is her biggest trump card.

Although Jiang Mian could force his way in using the power of [Formless], he couldn't bring anyone else in.

After all, it's the enemy's stronghold; there, the calamities of the Nightmare lineage will be greatly amplified.

The torrents and their forces were indeed unable to provide timely support, so it was quite dangerous for Jiang Mian to go in alone.

Therefore, if a fight breaks out, only Jiang Mian and the humans will suffer heavy losses.

Wangchuan had calculated these two points, which is why he dared to put so much pressure on Jiang Mian.

Even if we can't win, we still have a way out.

Moreover, her three eighth-tier units can always return to defend the other side.

Unless Jiang Mian has the strength to single-handedly wreck them, don't even think about beheading him for now.

Now it seems that Wangchuan was certain he wouldn't survive to the later stages of the game?

Or is his advancement speed always slower than hers?

Jiang Mian sneered inwardly.

She not only wanted to live, but also to pull Xiao Ye along, step by step, to reach the highest point and create opportunities for everyone equally.

Jiang Mian beckoned, and the golden crow obediently flew into her shadow.

Then, she looked up, pulled Ye Chenyang to sit in the office chair, and sat casually on the table herself.

"Brother Ye, there's something I want to ask you."

"Um."

Ye Chenyang nodded slightly, but his gaze was involuntarily drawn to the two swaying legs in front of him.

Jiang Mian pretended not to have seen anything and told Wangchuan the whole story, especially the changes in his appearance.

"You're becoming more and more like a human?"

He stroked his chin and replied:

"The origins of these calamities... to this day, no research has been able to confirm them. However, there are quite a few hypotheses."

"For example, Nightmare, its origin may be human 'thought'."

"read?"

"Yes. For example, those brainwashed people from the Boundless Sect are essentially a kind of fusion, and they don't have any rejection reaction at all."

Ye Chenyang leaned forward.

"This also indirectly proves the relationship between them and humans. At least in terms of their souls, there is a strange compatibility."

"This hypothesis arose because the merged humans would have altered perspectives."

He had never actually seen the River of Oblivion in his previous life, so he knew very little about it and could only guess based on the information left by the previous generation.

"Wangchuan doesn't do useless things. This behavior is probably related to her future advancement."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mian seemed to be deep in thought.

That guy from Wangchuan seems to have become more cheerful.

Is it possible that as its level increases, it's moving closer to becoming a "human"?

If a pure calamity can transform into a human, what about the other Nightmares?

What will happen if this continues in the long term?

New humans?

That's definitely a bit strange.

After satisfying her curiosity briefly, Jiang Mian hesitated for a moment before finally revealing the "sound" from earlier.

However, upon hearing this, Ye Chenyang stood up abruptly.

Seemingly realizing that he had overreacted, he took a deep breath and sat back down.

"Mianmian."

Ye Chenyang took Jiang Mian's hand.

"Don't pay any attention to it, absolutely not! And don't think about it again."

"Uh-huh."

This was the first time Jiang Mian had seen Ye Chenyang so deeply wary, and she readily agreed.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

According to Jiang Mian's description, without the protection of the powers of [Eternal Day] and [Return to the Void], this "voice" would probably have entangled her.

As time goes by, eventually, like Yang Ze before him, he will have no choice but to venture into the depths of the fog to find its source and a solution, and ultimately...

Fortunately, both his and Yin Mengyao's powers possessed spiritual attributes.

As long as you don't directly contact the source of the "sound," you can effectively block its "pollution."

However, since this Calamity Stone Tablet can affect Jiang Mian, why hasn't the Awakening Stone Tablet, which is opposite it, reacted?

Is it only effective for vertex sequences?

Ye Chenyang recalled that it seemed no human being at the pinnacle had ever come into contact with that thing.

Even Yang Ze was one of them.

He only heard the "sound" after reaching the ninth level.

Looking back now, that thing was indeed a bit dangerous, and I'll have to be more careful in the future.

The two tacitly agreed not to continue the topic.

Jiang Mian turned slightly to the side and took a stack of documents from the desk.

She flipped through it casually; it was basically the personal information of some high-ranking officials, and all of them held relatively key positions.

For example, the first one:

Yan Yan, Sequence 42, [Spirit Communication], Rank 6, belongs to the Ministry of Defense and is the head of the Information Department.

Most Soul Awakeners are not good at combat and can usually only play a support role.

However, they are more efficient at information processing and can adapt to high-intensity mental work.

Therefore, in clerical work, they become the superior substitutes for ordinary people.

Abbreviation: High-grade cattle and horses.

"Brother Ye, didn't you say you were going to clean up the traitors? When are you starting?"

"Tomorrow."

Originally, Ye Chenyang planned to make full preparations before taking action.

But Jiang Mian's actions tonight have given the authorities a pretext to launch an attack.

Since he sent Xiao Song back with the message, an internal investigation has been launched.

It was overseen by Mr. Gu, who was on par with Mr. Zhong.

He is Sequence 7, "A Dream of Nanke," and his spiritual attainments are naturally beyond question.

Although Gu Lao was ostensibly overseeing the war effort on the western front, he had already compiled a list before leaving.

There may be some that slipped through the net and weren't recorded, but the vast majority are already in there.

Now, the list is in Ye Chenyang's hands.

With his official appointment as inspector and his official endorsement, he could do whatever he wanted.

When the time comes to actually take action, that person will return and inflict heavy damage on the Wangchuan faction.

"OK."

Jiang Mian nodded and jumped off the desk.

"Let's go, I'll go look up some information first, and then I'll go home."

But Ye Chenyang did not agree immediately, but instead suggested:

"It's been so long since we went shopping together, how about...?"

Jiang Mian chuckled, patted his head, and said affectionately:

"Alright, whatever you say."
