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

Jiang Mian didn't let his clone stay there for too long. After getting a general idea of ​​the situation, he quietly returned.

Sequence numbers four and eight should both be of high quality, both being third-tier, belonging to the [Chaos] path, and skilled in stealth and invisibility.

Therefore, as long as you don't encounter any awakened individuals skilled in perception when leaving the city, you generally won't encounter any accidents.

Ironically, they had originally planned to test the waters as soon as they received the mission, and if possible, they could get things done on the spot.

But before she could emerge from the shadows, she nearly bumped into Shen Yuan and Shen Ming, who had come to find her back then, and then...

They chose to run away.

Given the current situation in the city, they dare not engage in a direct conflict with a fourth-tier awakened individual.

Of course, I wouldn't dare to do it normally.

So they simply moved the location outside the city.

The two had considered postponing the event for a few days, waiting for Team Five to go out alone before taking another opportunity.

However, there have been frequent disappearances of Awakened individuals recently, suggesting that a calamity has infiltrated and is quite active.

So the higher-ups made a small personnel change, increasing the number of patrol personnel effective immediately, and dispersing the original pipeline watchers to train new recruits.

This affected the mole planted there, causing him to be transferred from his original position, making it much harder to access the pipeline route afterwards.

Jiang Mian controlled his clone to make sure no one was following him before returning home via a side path.

Upon entering, the clone spontaneously removed its clothes, then took off the simulated skin, revealing its internal structure.

The "water" was compressed into black, and after two waves of testing and consumption, it appeared slightly translucent.

According to Jiang Mian's plan, these quantities are enough to simulate seven or eight water-related capabilities.

Once the release is nearly complete, the puppet's physical strength will return to a normal level.

If it's just simulating the basic skills of [Mist Concealment], there should be more attempts.

With a thought, the black water creature in front of her spat out a blood-red sphere covered with a thin film, just like a water ball.

Jiang Mian didn't want to touch it.

For some reason, this thing always gave her a bad feeling.

She let the ball suspend in the air and gently shook it; it was indeed very viscous, with almost no fluidity.

Moreover... her water control ability seems to be impossible to control directly?

This doesn't make sense, does it?

My basic water control method includes almost all water control methods.

Aside from solid water, gaseous and liquid water are almost like an extension of one's own arm, so how could the water in this medicine not be extracted?

"I ordered it."

Jiang Mian gave the order in his mind, and the empowered hand on the puppet's right hand shone with a scorching heat.

It was the "fire" she had stored inside.

Compared to what she releases herself, the temperature and explosive power are lower, but it's still enough.

The moment the flames ignited in the water golem's hand, the red potion immediately reacted.

It began to writhe and struggle violently, as if it were alive.

Then, a sharp spike suddenly grew out, punctured the bubble covering it, and it fell downwards.

The moment it landed, it seemed to grow legs and moved quickly across the ground, its target the bathroom.

"Trying to escape?"

Jiang Mian reacted immediately, commanding the water puppet to pounce and catch it, and then created a stronger version of the bubble, which at least wouldn't burst with a single prick.

"Huh? What's this?"

Jiang Mian took a small step forward, looking somewhat like a black symbiote, but with a viscous liquid texture.

To be honest, it's a bit disgusting.

The thought that the people in that organization drank this stuff and even planned to feed it to her made Jiang Mian's skin crawl.

This is not an inhibitor at all, but rather a part of the body or a product of some kind of calamity.

What could it be...?

After thinking about it, she could only find one relatively similar case.

Sequence 36, [Silent Death] Path, [Blood Grand Duke].

The mature form of this calamity resembles a mushroom, and its most crucial ability is that its spores can parasitize and control "infected individuals."

The problem is that the spore clusters of this thing do not have the ability to move or attack on their own. They can only be swallowed or inhaled by the host. Once they are expelled from the body, they can only wait to die on the spot.

And she'd never heard of this thing being used as an inhibitor.

Otherwise, patients with the disease would have tried it long ago.

Could it have mutated?

It's not impossible.

The world is so big, and there are countless calamities hidden in the fog. It's normal for there to be one or two special individuals.

Jiang Mian wasn't an academic, so he didn't know much about it and didn't want to ask others. He just observed it for a while and then burned it.

She originally thought it was just an extra, but she didn't expect that the quality of this little thing was equivalent to half a first-tier Calamity.

Pretty fat?

It's no wonder that even a patient with stage three disease can control it.

If it is its true form...

Although Jiang Mian was somewhat tempted, she would never act rashly before knowing all the information about it.

This thing might have already taken control of all the members of the mutual aid group; it's terrifying to think about.

Without thinking much, she directed the water golem to tidy up the things and put them away neatly before retreating back into bed.

Remote operation is quite mentally taxing, especially after operating it for so long, which made her feel sleepy.

The moment my head hit the pillow, my consciousness sank into darkness.

……

The sky was blood red.

After Jiang Mian "woke up," she found herself in this place.

She was wearing slippers and her pajamas, which she wore before going to bed.

Although I don't have glasses, my vision seems to have returned to normal.

"Are you dreaming?"

She pinched her thigh, and it felt incredibly real.

Before me stretched an endless wasteland, the only striking feature being the bottomless pool of water.

Jiang Mian lifted his foot and slowly approached.

In the center of the pool, a splash of red suddenly appeared, followed by a shimmering substance slowly rising from it.

She saw the thing clearly; it looked like a huge lump of flesh covered in countless slippery tentacles, and it was uttering incoherent murmurs.

She was certain that this thing was definitely not a "Blood Tai Sui".

Moreover... the closer they got, the clearer the strange murmurs Jiang Mian heard became.

She didn't know what language it was, but she could understand its meaning.

"Plate? Fusion? What the hell is this? Disgusting!"

Jiang Mian immediately showed a look of disgust.

Is this thing trying to parasitize itself?

Go to hell!

The moment this thought arose, the surrounding air became scorching hot, and orange-gold flames instantly enveloped her entire body.

Centered on her, flames instantly swept around, igniting the disgusting ball of flesh and quickly spreading to its body hidden underwater.

The fleshy mass let out a shriek, its tentacles curling and turning black at a visible speed, and its enormous body violently contracting inward...

Of course, the annoying babbling stopped abruptly.

Jiang Mian finally felt much more at peace.

When the ball of flesh was completely burned away, the surroundings returned to deathly silence.

……

It's six o'clock in the morning.

Jiang Mian opened her eyes and looked at the faint morning light outside.

She had already woken up once last night after having a dream, but she still vividly remembered it.

She rubbed her eyes, stretched her back, and then sat up.

"Hmm, is this some kind of mental pollution? I'd better not eat random things in the future..."
