Inside the tent, everyone stood up in unison, their faces showing the same astonishment.

"Why did the patient end up at headquarters?"

"Horns, tail... these are the culprits of the [Catastrophe] path!"

Some people instinctively reached for the weapons at their waists, fearing that Jiang Mian might suddenly go berserk and attack.

Although we don't know how she managed to sneak in, since she managed to evade their senses, her strength is probably far beyond that of everyone present!

Even so, if the other party makes a move, we must respond!

After all, this is the headquarters, representing the face of the entire Northern Warband!

Hu Zhihui's face darkened, and he pointed at her, saying:

"Who are you? Who gave you permission to come in!"

Jiang Mian ignored him and started walking forward.

The officer standing nearby instinctively stepped aside, making way for her.

Seeing Jiang Mian walk through the crowd on her own, and even sit in the main seat, Hu Zhihui immediately blushed.

"I'm asking you a question!"

He slammed his hand on the table, and without controlling his strength, smashed it to pieces.

"This is a military restricted area. You, a patient with a medical condition, have trespassed. According to the law, you should—vomit!"

Before he could finish speaking, Hu Zhihui suddenly felt a tightness in his throat as an invisible force gripped his neck.

He tried to activate his abilities, but was horrified to find that he, as a sixth-order awakened being, was powerless against this unknown diseased person in front of him!

"Could it be level seven? How is that possible! Aren't all patients with level six or higher lesions..."

Whether they have reached level six or above, or have the qualifications and talents, the official team will make special arrangements for them.

The patients still in the resettlement area are mostly from the very bottom of the social hierarchy, with very few even at the fourth or fifth level, which is why he dared to act this way.

They were just a bunch of cockroaches; they're dead, so be it.

Even if they resist, so what? Their influence won't even extend beyond Area 171!

In that brief moment, Hu Zhihui imagined countless possibilities.

Could this person in front of me be one of the high-level disease patients recruited by higher-ups?

"I don't need anyone's permission to come in."

Jiang Mian snorted coldly, emanating an aura as deep as an abyss, causing the expressions of everyone present to change drastically.

Their highest level was only sixth rank, the difference was too great, and they couldn't detect Jiang Mian's true level at all!

Jiang Mian leaned back casually in her chair, glanced around, and finally fixed her gaze on Hu Zhihui, narrowing her eyes slightly.

As she entered, a familiar, strange force began to try to influence her emotions.

The source is this guy!

"Who...who are you? What's your purpose here?!"

Hu Zhihui mustered his courage to ask the question, his tone softening considerably, but his attitude remained firm.

A person with a disease is a person with a disease, no matter how high their level!

He would never back down to the infected person!

He was, after all, an official; did this woman dare to kill him in public?

At this critical juncture, if a patient with a disease were to kill an official in public, even if she had connections, it would surely ignite already pent-up emotions if word got out!

"I'd like to ask you, what are you planning to do!"

Jiang Mian crossed her legs, too lazy to explain her identity.

This guy doesn't deserve it.

"Me? Patients in District 171 are frequently causing trouble and seriously threatening public order. What's wrong with me taking extra precautions?"

Hu Zhihui said confidently, completely unaware that his death was imminent.

"Hu Zhihui, I'm on the 8 AM shift!"

Just then, Gao Hong finally "broke free" from the restrictions set by Jiang Mian and rushed in, pointing his finger at him and cursing:

"Do you think everyone's a fool? Apologize to your senior right now!"

senior?!

Hu Zhihui was startled, but his body seemed to move on its own, and he stiffened his neck and asked in return:

"On what grounds?"

The room fell silent upon hearing this.

On what grounds?

Just because Commander Gao calls him "senior"!

In other words, this person's strength is at least at the peak of the seventh rank, and possibly even the eighth rank!

Is this guy out of his mind or what? Is he deliberately trying to cause trouble for the infected person?

"hehe."

However, Jiang Mian burst out laughing when she saw Hu Zhihui courting death like this.

"S-Senior, what are you laughing at?"

Gao Hong's heart was pounding, and his voice was somewhat weak.

The higher-ups had already instructed Commander Hu to be a key target of attention, but for some reason, they simply ordered him to be monitored.

Now look what's happened; having offended this senior, I'm probably not going to make it out to be.

"I heard that there was a parasite in the old days that would parasitize a soft-bodied reptile."

Jiang Mian stood up and slowly walked towards Hu Zhihui.

"Once they grow to a certain size, they will manipulate their host, making them climb high branches so they can be eaten by birds. And you—"

She raised her hand and gently touched the center of Hu Zhihui's chest with her fingertips.

"That poor worm that was parasitized."

Upon hearing this, Hu Zhihui was terrified and said in disbelief:

"What nonsense are you spouting?!"

Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, you probably won't see the results for yourself.

As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible force emanated from Jiang Mian's fingertips, and Hu Zhihui's physical body began to disintegrate inch by inch.

"What...what did you do to me?!"

Hu Zhihui's eyes were bloodshot as he tried to struggle, but his body remained unresponsive.

That force is like an eraser, completely erasing his "existence" from the world!

Upon seeing this, everyone present gasped in shock.

No, it's a real killing?

Also, what kind of ability is this?

The concept of erasure... just watching it from the sidelines is already quite terrifying!

"Ugh—"

With a scream, Hu Zhihui's figure completely disappeared from the tent, leaving only a thin metal plate exuding a black and red aura.

Some black flesh and blood were still clinging to it, and they were wriggling violently toward Jiang Mian, seemingly having already made her their next host.

"Fragments of the [Shura Sword], hmph, they won't even rest in peace even in death."

Jiang Mian created an enhanced bubble, sealed it tightly, and threw it into the [World], entrusting it to Jiang Ling for safekeeping.

It's best to keep the sample until we figure out the nature of this thing.

"Senior, isn't the [Asura Sword] the pinnacle of [Slaughter] weapons? It still has this ability?"

Gao Hong approached and asked cautiously.

"Didn't you just see it?"

Jiang Mian glanced at him, neither confirming nor denying, but couldn't help but speculate about the origin of this thing.

The only one who can summon this thing is the elusive Jade-Faced Rakshasa.

She has been out of contact since Yun Ling and Yun Shan were injured and fell into a deep sleep.

Even Xu Xiaoan thought she was still wandering in the mist, collecting materials for the resurrection of [Blood Sea Sword Tomb] and [Xingtian].

Unexpectedly, this guy managed to infiltrate the inner circle and even secretly stir up trouble?

Thinking of this, Jiang Mian looked at Gao Hong and asked:

"Where did that guy come from?"

"Base City No. 4"

"Okay, I understand."

Jiang Mian gently patted his shoulder, then walked out.

Base City 4 is located north of Base City 1, and it's on her way back, so she might as well take a look.

However, she still wanted to greet her old acquaintances first.

As soon as Jiang Mian stepped out of the tent, a familiar figure walked towards him.

"Mianmian? It really is you!"

Shen Qiuyu stopped and a gentle smile appeared on her face.

Although Jiang Mian's appearance has changed drastically, the instinctive sense of closeness is definitely there!

Jiang Mian looked her up and down, and when he saw her epaulets, he made a rare joke:

"Hey, Colonel Shen? Long time no see!"

"?"

Shen Qiuyu's smile froze.
