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

Night was falling on the back mountain.

"Ugh!"

Ye Chenyang knocked down a middle-aged man with a rather upright appearance, then calmly sheathed his sword.

Jiang Mian glanced at the corpse and then ignited orange-gold flames.

After a round of "cleansing," with Ye Chenyang doing the work and Jiang Mian collecting the bodies, nearly ten "traitors" were eliminated.

All of them are sixth-order.

If it were the Jiang Mian of the past, she definitely wouldn't have been able to eat such a large amount.

However, she now has five cores, including her main body, the Golden Crow, and others, which greatly increases her capacity.

Even the [Heavenly Punishment] can absorb some scraps.

After this feeding, Jiang Mian's four new cores all reached the fourth tier.

Among them, the earliest wind-type core and the fire-type core, which account for the majority, are already close to their peak.

If I fully digest today's gains, I estimate I'll be able to reach the threshold of level five, greatly accelerating my progress.

"As expected, taking tonics works faster."

Jiang Mian sighed inwardly, realizing that he rarely had the opportunity to come into contact with so many sixth-tier beings.

Then, she turned her gaze to Ye Chenyang.

"Brother Ye, is it almost done?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chenyang nodded and said:

"Yes. The ones on the list have been dealt with, and the remaining minor characters will be handled by others."

After saying that, he raised his head and looked thoughtfully in the direction the man had intended to run away from.

Following the ridgeline, we arrived at the gathering place of the diseased individuals.

"Mianmian, before the Golden Crow returned, did anything happen in that place?"

"An underground city?"

Jiang Mian naturally noticed Ye Chenyang's subtle actions.

She recalled for a moment and briefly explained that Wangchuan might have taken control of Pharmacy No. 1.

Ye Chenyang couldn't help but furrow his brows:

"So, she might be 'infecting' those with the disease right now?"

"Um."

After all, on the surface, they are still allies with Wangchuan.

Jiang Mian couldn't directly disrupt the other party's operation, so he could only try his best to ensure the safety of his own men.

Especially Lü Yan, Yu Xiaoxiao, and Chen Li, who was one of the first to defect.

Before leaving, she also tried to strengthen his spirit with the power of [Formless].

Although it took a long time, it was a success at least.

Ye Chenyang had never been to the underground city in person, but he had learned about the information there and was fairly clear about the situation there.

With its control over the lives of those suffering from the underground city's diseases, No. 1 Pharmacy, using Wangchuan's methods, will likely integrate and expand at an extremely terrifying speed.

That includes thousands of patients with the disease!

In the previous Boundless Gate incident, there were many ordinary people involved, and the number of awakened individuals was far less.

Even if they don't have complete control over the River of Oblivion, they still have at least a thousand cannon fodder equivalent to Awakened Ones, which gives them a lot more room to maneuver.

If you select those disease patients who are talented and whose level is not low to "refine" them, you can definitely quickly create a batch of time bombs with a high level.

"Brother Ye, I know what you're thinking."

Just as he was pondering, Jiang Mian, unusually, interrupted his thoughts:

"The risk of taking action within the city is still too great. Wangchuan probably wants to shift the battlefield there."

"Alright, I'll send my Golden Crow clone back to scout out the situation first. We'll set off after we've made all the necessary preparations."

Her idea is simple.

Ye Chenyang wasn't the kind of reckless fool who would rush in as soon as he encountered a clue.

When faced with unknown situations, it is reasonable to discuss with others before making a decision.

Moreover, there may be some individuals who slipped through the net on the list.

This means that Wangchuan probably still has "eyes" here, capable of monitoring the situation in real time.

However, the Golden Crow's tracks must be well concealed; it cannot appear openly, lest the coincidences be too obvious and alert the River of Oblivion.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Ye Chenyang agreed to her suggestion without hesitation.

Jiang Mian's mind stirred slightly, and a shadow quietly separated from behind him.

It transformed into a streak of black light and vanished into the night.

Then, Ye Chenyang took Jiang Mian's hand and headed towards the General Administration of Supervision.

……

"Uncle Yun, is there still no news about my dad?"

As soon as the two entered the hall, they were drawn to a voice.

Not far away, a tall girl was holding onto the arm of a burly man, her face full of worry.

Surprisingly, Jiang Mian remembered them all.

The man was Yun Han, one of the resident inspectors of Base City One, whose ability was Sequence 43, [Demon Exorcism].

The girl... is Tian Guang's daughter, Tian Wei.

After all, they are colleagues, so it's normal for them to know each other.

But they actually came to the headquarters?

Currently, only You Hui knows that Tian Guang is imprisoned in the [World], and he has been classified as missing.

But others certainly don't think that way.

A sixth-level expert has gone missing, and is he still within the base city's territory?

It seems the chances of survival are slim!

Yun Han opened his mouth, unsure how to answer, and could only pat her hand, awkwardly offering words of comfort:

"Weiwei, let's wait a little longer. These are special times, and we can't spare any manpower right now... I'll try my best to find someone."

Since an inspector had made such a promise, Tian Wei had no choice but to give up.

"Oh well."

She said that, but she secretly made up her mind to stay here for a while!

Although it may cause some trouble for others, it is a matter of life and death after all!

Yun Han breathed a slight sigh of relief, looked at Ye Chenyang and the other person walking towards him, and nodded politely:

"Inspector Ye."

He had his own sources of information and knew this person's identity.

During tonight's operation, the number of targets within this jurisdiction was the largest, almost twice that of the other inspectors.

Yun Han had only just returned, and Ye Chenyang arrived shortly after, which shows his extraordinary strength.

Even if he is only at the fifth rank, he should be able to defeat a peak sixth rank opponent without much difficulty.

Upon hearing the sound, Tian Wei looked over and was stunned when her gaze fell on Ye Chenyang's unusually young face.

She was fairly familiar with her father's colleagues, but she had never met this one before.

They look younger than me, but it's normal for a sixth-level awakened person to look young because they can actively adjust their physiological state.

Moreover, Ye Chenyang's calm demeanor further solidified Tian Wei's guess.

"Hello there."

Ye Chenyang responded politely.

The list of people has been largely cleared out; it's time to report and summarize the actions.

He turned around and spoke softly to Jiang Mian:

"Mianmian, I'm going to see Minister You. You should go back to your office and rest for a bit."

Jiang Mian didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly.

After Ye Chenyang and Yun Han left, Tian Wei curiously approached them.

The relationship between the two is clearly unusual.

If I can build a good relationship with this person, maybe I can persuade him to keep an eye on my father's whereabouts?

"Hello?"

Jiang Mian glanced at her.

This girl's thoughts were written all over her face; she just wanted to find an excuse to start a conversation.

Seeing that Jiang Mian wasn't impatient but instead blinked back at her, Tian Wei became a little bolder.

Does this person seem to have a quiet and reserved personality?

Quiet and gentle is great! She's easy to get along with!

"Are you here for an internship too?"

Tian Wei is twenty-two years old and has just graduated from university.

With his own efforts and some assistance from his father, he had already reached the fourth rank.

His progress is already about three-quarters complete, making him one of the best among his peers.

Even so, one still has to complete a three-month internship to enter an official institution.

Jiang Mian shook his head and said honestly:

"No, I was promoted to a full-time position right after I joined."

These words left Tian Wei speechless.

If you're not sisters, you look like you're not even twenty yet, right?

How did you do that?

Thinking back to that person from earlier, her mind started wandering, and she couldn't help but ask:

"Then... who was that just now?"

Jiang Mian's lips curled up slightly, and she said matter-of-factly:

"My boyfriend."
