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

Chen Gong's heart sank.

No matter how strong this girl is, it's impossible for her to silently eliminate all his men without even a trace of fighting.

You should know that among those on duty were two of his brothers who were also at the third rank!

Even if they are no match for the enemy, they should at least make some noise and sound the alarm.

Moreover, the scene... looks like it's been burned. Could she have some hidden tricks up her sleeve?

He then remembered some details that he had overlooked.

Just now... she swaggered in, which means...

He turned his head stiffly and looked behind him.

Jiang Mian had her hands behind her back, a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth, and was humming a light and eerie tune, looking quite pleased with herself.

But in Chen Gong's eyes, it was quite terrifying.

Chen Gong's Adam's apple bobbed, and he asked hoarsely:

"Where...where are my brothers?"

Although I know I shouldn't ask, the other party probably won't take action before I get the item.

Jiang Mian's gaze lingered on Chen Gong's pale face for a moment, then she said, seemingly casually:

"Of course... I 'ate' it."

"Eat...eat?!"

Even if someone is terminally ill and does something like this while in a state of delirium, they would feel uncomfortable about it after they regain their senses, rather than talking about it so easily as she does.

If what she said is true, then...

Cold sweat instantly soaked Chen Gong's back.

Seeing his reaction, Jiang Mian's eyes revealed a hint of pleasure. Sure enough, it was most exciting to take off the pretense and have fun.

"Haha, just kidding, you actually believed that?"

Jiang Mian's tone was light and cheerful, which seemed to confirm it.

Upon hearing this, Chen Gong froze on the spot, a lump forming in his throat, unable to rise or fall.

Lie...lie to him?

He secretly glanced at Jiang Mian's face, trying to discern the truth from her smile.

She smiled brightly, as if she were just a mischievous girl who had succeeded in a prank, and that her chilling remark was just a harmless joke.

Is it really a joke?

He can't tell the difference...

Chen Gong's mind was in a daze. He stopped thinking about whether the "Jiang Mian" in front of him was a diseased person or a calamity. He silently turned around and continued walking towards the basement.

"It's already ruined? That's really boring."

Jiang Mian gave a soft snort, put his hands in his pockets, and continued walking down.

She thought that a level 3 character would give her more time to play.

After advancing to the third tier, you can instantly kill anyone of the same tier upon meeting them.

I did sneak in quietly just now—why not just kill everyone who saw me?

The group of assassins brought me a decent amount of benefits: two Tier 3 assassins, a group of Tier 2 assassins, and some Tier 1 assassins doing odd jobs, which barely made up a total of four.

With Chen Gong added, the progress will immediately reach one-eighth.

I ate too much and I'm not sure if it will have any effect.

Although advancing to the next level takes some effort, she can only consume the equivalent of four level three items at most at the moment; any more than that and she'll feel uncomfortable.

Jiang Mian certainly wouldn't waste such a rare opportunity.

That said, [Whirlwind] is indeed useful. She can now precisely lock down the office, essentially creating a "dark room" without any outside noise.

Chen Gong was on the phone with Li Tian and didn't notice how quiet it was inside.

This led to a series of events that followed.

She already had a plan regarding Li Tian's matter. However, she was genuinely quite interested in this guy's collection.

If she had enough inhibitors, she would have enough time to slowly test the so-called "mutual aid society".

Given Jiang Mian's cautious nature, he certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to directly approach that group of unidentified infected individuals; if they turned out to be some kind of villainous organization, he'd be doomed.

Although theoretically she is one of the biggest "villains".

"Clatter".

With a soft click, Chen Gong unlocked the basement door.

Jiang Mian looked around. The basement was dimly lit, filled with a damp atmosphere, and unusually spacious.

There were several dark splatter marks on the ground, and together with the knife hanging nearby, it was easy to guess what this place was used for.

Chen Gong seemed to sense the gaze behind him and continued forward, quickening his pace.

He walked to an inconspicuous corner, moved the rusty knife next to him, and then kicked it against the wall.

Immediately afterwards, it seemed as if some switch had been triggered, and almost half of the wall opened outward like a door, revealing a brand-new safe behind it.

It's quite large, and...

Jiang Mian sensed that the materials used to make the safe seemed to have been mixed with some kind of calamity core, but he didn't know what effect it would have.

As the two approached, a faint orange-red pattern appeared on the safe, and the surrounding temperature began to rise noticeably.

"This was made using fragments of the [Wildfire] Calamity Core, fused with a special alloy."

Chen Gong explained in a low voice:

"Although its strength is average, it will explode when attacked by external force, and the power is enough to destroy everything inside."

There was something else he didn't say: the power of the explosion could severely injure even a third-tier being.

Jiang Mian raised his chin but didn't say anything.

Chen Gong stepped forward, and after a series of actions, the pattern lit up for a moment before quickly dimming.

"laugh!"

A hissing sound was heard as the safe door loosened, and Chen Gong then pulled it open.

He took two steps back, made way, and bowed, saying:

"Everything is here, please... take a look."

A trace of resentment still lingered on Chen Gong's lowered face.

Clearly, he was not going to submit to execution.

Jiang Mian's gaze passed over Chen Gong, and inside was a space about half the size of a basement.

The lights had automatically turned on, and neatly stacked cash, various alien weapons, and... inhibitors were on display.

There are quite a few, but now is not the time to count them; there's a little problem with the other side.

She took a few quick steps forward.

As he passed Chen Gong, just a few steps away, the mask of respect on his face shattered instantly, leaving only a ferocious expression like that of a trapped beast.

Strength, speed... and the toxins attached to the bone arm blade, all the enhanced skills of a third-tier lesioned individual were instantly catalyzed to the extreme, stabbing straight at Jiang Mian's vulnerable neck and temple.

The angle was quite tricky. He had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time!

"die!"

Chen Gong's eyes were bloodshot, filled with the madness of a gambler.

Wind-type characters are not good at close combat; this is his only chance!

Jiang Mian seemed not to have reacted and remained motionless.

Just as he grinned and offered up the arm blade in his hand, he felt as if he had pierced into a swamp, and the resistance was getting stronger and stronger until he was just a hair's breadth away from the target and could not go any further.

At the same time, the wind pressure descended again, rendering him unable to move.

Jiang Mian turned around and, to Chen Gong's horrified gaze, extended her fair fingers and gently pinched the tip of the arm blade.

Then, she casually broke off the tip of his invincible poisoned blade!

"I don't like being pointed at."
