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

"What are you standing there for? Run!"

The other guard reacted quickly, grabbed his companion, and followed Bai Jin towards the base city.

Fortunately, we were only a few miles from the city gate.

Both of them were fifth-tier awakened beings, so their speed was not slow.

In addition, he was also carrying the radiant crystals issued by the higher-ups, which prevented him from losing his way and allowed him to keep up with Bai Jin's footsteps.

But when Bai Jin saw the scene at the city gate, she couldn't help but frown.

A plain-looking young man was standing at the city gate, directing his men to execute those ticket evaders who happened to be caught in the crossfire.

When he saw Bai Jin, he raised an eyebrow and said sarcastically:

"Oh, isn't this Steward Bai Jin? Such a big incident at the city gate, and you're only just returning?"

"Ji Chen, I don't have time to waste with your nonsense."

Bai Jin's face darkened, and she said coldly:

"Get out of the way!"

Both of them were sixth-tier silver-level hunters and had always disliked each other.

Because Bai Jin was deeply trusted by a high-ranking official and had the authority to appoint personnel at the city gates, both guards were his men.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have come to find him so quickly.

Old Dong, in fact, also showed signs of leaning towards his faction.

Therefore, Bai Jin made arrangements for Qin Shou casually, and no one expected this incident to occur.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Ji Chen kicked aside the corpse beside him and said earnestly:

"I'm now in charge of the city gate defenses, so you don't need to worry about finding the murderer."

"You think it's yours just because you say so?"

Bai Jin glanced sideways and scoffed:

"I won't believe it until I hear the appointment from above with my own ears!"

"Clang—"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two people behind Bai Jin drew their weapons and pointed them at Ji Chen.

On the other side, Ji Chen's men also drew their swords and confronted them.

For a moment, tensions rose at the city gate.

"Heh, Bai Jin, are you sure you want to make your move here?"

Ji Chen remained completely calm.

"The mist tide is coming soon. If we get stuck here and the city gates aren't defended in time, the responsibility will really fall on your shoulders!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Jin remained silent for a moment, then finally let out a cold snort, pushed him away, and led the two into the city.

Let's put the killer aside for now.

He needs to go back to headquarters first to see if this is really true!

……

"Ha~"

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Mian woke up from her sleep and yawned.

"It's so bloated... Waaah..."

She murmured something indistinctly, without opening her eyes, and instead pressed herself against the heat source beside her.

"what?"

A moment later, Jiang Mian seemed to realize something was wrong, frowned, and glanced at the situation outside.

Why is everything shrouded in mystery?

"What's wrong?"

Ye Chenyang kissed her forehead and patted her smooth back.

Jiang Mian briefly described the scene she had witnessed.

"Mist Tide?"

Ye Chenyang seemed to be deep in thought.

"Is it because Xu Xiaoan just acquired the [Chaos] authority?"

"Maybe."

By now, it can be basically determined that the main source of pollution in the fog is [chaos].

Fog of War activity is already quite frequent here.

However, what can affect the second district is already considered a large-scale fog tide, a phenomenon that is rare to see once in ten years.

Xu Xiaoan had just completed his advancement and obtained the rudimentary form of the [Chaos] Authority when this massive mist tide arrived...

Isn't that a coincidence?

"Xiao An said they should be entering the city soon."

Jiang Mian frowned and said:

"They have three level eights. If they go all out, the infection rate will probably be very fast. If there are a few more level eights, it will be troublesome."

After all, Yun Ling and Yu Zhengqing were originally only at the seventh level.

They didn't receive the [Chaos] blessing for long, yet they were able to easily break through to the eighth rank, and it's said to be quite stable.

Besides its own accumulation, the key lies in the fusion ability inherent in [Chaos].

However, in terms of actual combat strength, they are still a step behind Yu tide and the others.

But if a seventh-tier being successfully corrupted within the city, an eighth-tier being like Yun Ling and the others will likely be born soon!

If there are too many strong individuals of this caliber, it will become a real problem!

"Um."

Ye Chenyang nodded slightly; this was indeed a problem.

The purpose of their trip was to find out the situation here, to be wary of their corruption and decay and the River of Oblivion, and to look for the Asura who had disappeared without a trace.

Now that Xu Xiaoan has successfully infiltrated and learned of their next plan, this new problem has arisen.

Suddenly, an idea popped into Jiang Mian's mind, and her eyes lit up.

"Brother Ye, if we steal all the seventh-tier monsters in the city, will we no longer have to worry?"

"what?"

Ye Chenyang was stunned.

This method might seem a bit far-fetched at first glance, but it actually makes a lot of sense.

After all, there's the "World" here; at worst, we can just bring them in and fight them out slowly.

Generally speaking, to resist a closed domain, one must expand one's own domain and engage in a power struggle.

If the other side wants to launch a domain-based resistance, there's still him!

Moreover, the Golden Crow can add even more power to further conceal the movement...

"Right, right!"

Jiang Mian turned to the side and looked at Ye Chenyang with a smile.

Just by looking at his expression, I knew he had been persuaded.

Anyway, everyone in this area is a bad guy, so killing her is like ridding the people of a scourge, and everyone should thank her!

Huh? If we follow this line of thinking, instead of preventing Wangchuan and the others from being corrupted, wouldn't it be better for her to eat them?

It seems feasible, but it would be too difficult to implement.

"Then... I'll listen to you."

"That's a good girl!"

Jiang Mian patted his head, propped herself up, and casually put on a set of thin black underwear.

According to her usual habit, she would definitely take a shower first.

But Ye Chenyang always thoughtfully cleans up afterward, which made her lazy.

Recalling the process and his earnest and focused expression, Jiang Mian felt a strange sense of shame welling up inside her.

But what followed was an indescribable excitement.

Something seems off?

A strange blush rose to her cheeks as she turned to look at Ye Chenyang and smiled.

"Let's go out for some fresh air. Perfect timing, someone's showing up at our door."

"it is good."

Ye Chenyang understood that Jiang Mian had eaten her fill and that he was safe for the time being.

But... why is she blushing?

……

The two quickly dressed themselves, redid their disguises, and returned to the ice house.

Jiang Mian extended his senses and discovered that almost the entire city was shrouded in mist.

The doors of all the buildings were tightly shut, and there were no pedestrians on the streets.

Instead, countless ghostly figures appeared, almost all of them representing the calamity of [Death].

Like gamblers on rough stones, they carefully sniffed outside the door, fearing they might unearth a treasure that could kill them.

Of course, many calamities themselves are not very intelligent; they just want to open any door they see.

As for outside the city, the fog had reduced visibility to less than five meters.

She had never encountered such an exaggerated concentration before.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Just then, there were three regular knocks at the door.

Ye Chenyang took Jiang Mian's hand, and the shared power of [Formless] within their bodies easily connected.

"It's Sequence 46, the [Echo], and there should be more than one."

After this fusion, the two seem to be even more compatible.

Although he hadn't tried it yet, Ye Chenyang was confident that he could access Jiang Mian's communication network; he just needed to practice a few times.

"The one who responded?"

Jiang Mian narrowed her eyes, seemingly intrigued.

What level are they that dare to mess with me?

This thing spreads curses through sound; anyone who responds to its sounds will be locked onto.

It sounds tricky, but actually, you can resolve it by simply killing the main body.

Generally speaking, apart from [Chaos], the higher the level and the higher the sequence, the higher the intelligence of the Calamity.

However, the calamity of [death and oblivion] is not necessarily so.

These undead creatures were rotting all over, including their souls, and even individuals of the same kind showed great differences.

The [Echo] before them was in a daze, its mental state similar to that of a human who was high on drugs; it was estimated that it would only officially gain intelligence at the seventh level.

Jiang Mian was curious about the mechanism of this thing's ability, and a "suicidal" thought inexplicably arose in her mind.

So she nudged Ye Chenyang and said:

"Brother Ye, shall I give it a try?"

Ye Chenyang nodded.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The knocking sounded again. Jiang Mian, hands on her hips, said "impatiently":

Who is it?
