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

Jiang Mian didn't think much about it. As long as he could keep hiding, he wouldn't end up having his core extracted and made into a weapon.

If I get rid of the inhibitor, after reaching Tier 6, if I encounter an opponent I can't defeat, either escaping into the mist or heading to a chaotic base city ranked lower in the hierarchy would be a good option.

As for the conditions for the next advancement... she already knew that there were forty Tier 3 targets, five of which had to be "high-quality targets" within the top 100 of the sequence.

This is the first time quality requirements have been introduced, and they will likely be gradually increased in the future.

"His appetite is getting bigger and bigger..."

Jiang Mian couldn't help but complain that her small frame was taking a lot of toll.

Fortunately, the abilities are practical, the way to improve them is simple and straightforward—just eat your fill—and there's an undeniable aesthetic appeal to the numerical values.

She carefully tested her newly acquired shapeshifting ability and found that as long as she was within the [Whirlwind]'s perception range, she could maintain a fairly stable connection.

Once it exceeds this range, it becomes uncontrollable and begins to collapse.

But now... my senses have doubled!

If the area of ​​perception before was roughly one street, now it's almost half of the western part of the city!

At the fourth level, it gets even more exaggerated!

As for its duration, it has existed for about five minutes since it was created, and Jiang Mian has not felt much consumption yet, which should also be due to the environmental factors.

She estimated that as long as it wasn't too severely impacted, it should be able to last for at least half a day without any problems.

Jiang Mian released its control, and it quickly disintegrated, turning into a pool of water that rapidly seeped into the ground, leaving no trace.

It's still raining.

Jiang Mian raised her head and looked at a row of simple, dilapidated bungalows not far away.

There were quite a few infected people gathered there, and judging from their conversations... this must be the Black Killer's base.

Tier 3 is complete, and all skills have been selected. It's time to settle accounts with them.

I hold grudges very well.

At this thought, the rain and the wind around her paused.

The next second, her figure disappeared from the spot.

……

Let's go back to the present.

The sharp blade formed from the wind and water was just millimeters away from Chen Gong's throat. He could clearly feel the chill brought by the flowing wind, and his body trembled.

Just a hair's breadth away! That water blade was about to slit his throat!

What exactly does the other party want to do?

He began to doubt his earlier judgment. If the calamity wanted to devour people, how could it possibly stop?

Just then, the office door clicked open.

A petite figure wearing a raincoat strolled in, stopped in front of Chen Gong, and took off her hood and mask, revealing her fair and delicate face.

But that didn't matter; the first thing the other party said almost made him kneel down.

Jiang Mian tilted her head, revealing an innocent-looking smile:

"Hello?"

...And quite polite?

No way! What's so good about it? He's almost dead!

Chen Gong dared not relax for a moment; the method just now was clearly her doing.

He was still being pressed down by the wind pressure, and to be able to do this... he must be at least third-order, or even fourth-order, and it must be a high-level sequence!

“Who…who are you?”

His throat tightened, and it took him a long time to utter this sentence.

and many more!

Looking at Jiang Mian's face, memories flooded back. Wasn't this the mission objective he had just discussed with his boss?

Wasn't it supposed to be a Tier 1 [Eye of the Storm]? Is the information incorrect?

That's so wrong!

"Heh, you recognize me?"

Seeing the change in his expression, Jiang Mian chuckled, took off his raincoat, and reassembled the scattered water into a human shape.

Unlike the previous black one, this time the water spirit is transparent.

Clearly, she had used some special methods to compress the density of the elements to an extremely alarming level, just to satisfy her little prank.

Jiang Mian casually tossed the raincoat to it and then found a sofa to sit down.

"I heard everything that just happened."

Chen Gong's pupils contracted; this Jiang Mian...

She shouldn't be that kind of innocent person... No, Liu Mu's death was suspicious, probably because of her cunning methods!

He simply couldn't believe that the little girl the boss had described as someone he could get rid of so easily was actually such a monster.

He didn't even know how she did it; he was simply pinned to the spot and killed.

But the fact that they didn't take immediate action proves that they still have value.

"What...do you want to do?"

"I?"

Jiang Mian's smile deepened, as if she found his forced composure quite amusing.

With a knife to his throat, how dare he be so defiant?

She didn't answer, but simply tilted her head slightly, and the water blade suspended in mid-air moved forward by half a millimeter with her movement.

Chen Gong's neck skin instantly turned red.

"Wait! Wait! Spare me! Spare me!"

Chen Gong's body stiffened, and he immediately slid to his knees.

With just a thought, the other party could separate his body from his corpse.

In the face of life and death, he couldn't care less about who Jiang Mian was.

"It was my fault for not being careful! I took on a job I shouldn't have! I apologize! I admit my mistake!"

He spoke rapidly, cold sweat beading on his forehead. He noticed that Jiang Mian still had a faint smile on her face, but there was no smile behind her glasses, as if she were watching a clown performance.

This expression sent a chill down Chen Gong's spine.

"I'm just a gofer, doing things for money, trying to make a living. Please, have mercy and give me a way out!"

"All the wealth I've accumulated over the years—cash, alien weapons, calamity materials…it's all here, and it's all yours! I can take you to get it right now!"

Jiang Mian picked at her nails listlessly, feeling rather uncomfortable.

She could clearly sense that this guy was faking it. To be honest, he was a "veteran patient," wasn't he? He was flexible and knew how to put on a good show.

By the way, although that voice was processed, it was definitely Li Tian's.

The other party must already be suspicious of me, keeping me around would only cause more trouble.

Since we've run into this, let's settle it tonight to avoid any unforeseen complications.

Of course, before leaving, you can squeeze every last drop of value out of this guy.

As the head of an organization of diseased individuals, he shouldn't be too poor, right?

"Alright, take me to see it. If I'm satisfied with the product..."

Jiang Mian felt that she was still very kind.

If the other party wasn't as disgusting to her as Li Hao, and could even provide some amusement, she would have given them a quick and painless end.

The moment the words were spoken, the surrounding wind pressure vanished.

Chen Gong's legs went weak, and he immediately knelt down before Jiang Mian.

Immediately, he quickly propped himself up and stood up, as if nothing had happened.

"Hehe, okay, okay. This way, please."

He rubbed his hands together, bowed and scraped, and led the way for Jiang Mian, taking her to the basement where he hid his things.

With his back to Jiang Mian, a dark glint flashed in Chen Gong's eyes.

The "Jiang Mian" in front of me looks very strange no matter how you look at it.

Regardless of whether it is the real person or not, judging from her aura alone, she has clearly only recently reached the third level.

Now that he knew Jiang Mian's true identity, the other party had no reason to let him go.

Once he gets his hands on the item, it will be the end for Chen Gong.

As we all know, each path of calamity has a unique form: Nightmare resembles a human, Slaughter is a distorted human body, and Natural Disaster is a beast-like form.

Judging from her methods, she does not fit the characteristics of a natural disaster.

That means the patient has a disease with extremely high sequence abnormalities?

It should be the [natural disaster] path. As for other methods, they may have used some kind of alien weapon.

Even a high-sequence [Catastrophe] afflicted individual, being a wind-type, would likely still have a weakness in close combat.

If I get the chance later, I'll definitely try to launch a sneak attack!

As Chen Gong pondered this, he led Jiang Mian downstairs, only to be stunned by what he saw.

The hall was empty and unusually quiet, without a trace of a struggle, but there were strange patches of charred black.

A strange, burnt smell filled the air.

No...where's his little brother?!

Even if Jiang Mian completely wiped them out, shouldn't there still be some corpses left?
