Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?
Chapter 8 Donning the Yellow Robe
Originally, Jiang Mian's abnormal characteristics were not obvious. As long as he was careful to conceal it, he would be no different from an ordinary person.
but now……
If someone were to awaken an ability specifically designed to enhance their five senses, like Wang Chen, they would be able to easily discover their own unique characteristics.
Do we have to add a heart condition setting?
Just now at school, the school doctor and Teacher Lin had already prejudged her as having a heart problem, and she was definitely going to maintain this facade.
After all, the pain just now was too intense, and palpitations caused by "lack of rest" certainly couldn't be excused.
"Let's leave it at that for now... at least that's what the teacher thinks, so we don't need to go to school."
Jiang Mian sighed and lay down.
Once you tell one lie, you have to tell more lies to cover it up. All she wants now is to graduate quickly and maybe move to another place to live...
She now has time to familiarize herself with the city, prepare for the "hunting," and also figure out how to earn a living...
There must be some hidden, weak calamities within the city; after all, the fog is all-pervasive, and there are always loopholes in the city walls' defenses.
Thinking about this, there seems to be a profession that fits the bill quite well?
……
the next day.
"Hello? Delivery!"
In a high-end residential area in the south of the city, Jiang Mian adjusted his mask and knocked on the door of an apartment on the fifteenth floor.
In the month since she transmigrated, she had already been working on and off to find out the situation in the west of the city.
Now it's just a change of location to resume the old business.
Calamities crave the flesh and blood of the awakened, and they welcome ordinary people as well, probably like a tasting before a meal to them.
The western part of the city is lined with factories, and although densely populated, it's also a melting pot of all sorts of people.
Ordinary people, thugs, awakened individuals... there are all kinds of people, but mainly the awakened individuals in the gangs. Even the sheriffs don't want to provoke them easily.
For some low-sequence calamities, this place is neither easy to act upon nor easy to hide in, making it an unideal hiding place.
Every time Jiang Mian went out, she could feel many malicious glances.
Although her physical abilities are now vastly different from before, if she were to encounter a low-level Awakened, or a truckload of bread people, she would definitely have to use [Ignite] to escape.
This increases one's risk of exposure.
So she chose the relatively affluent southern part of the city, where there might be more opportunities?
"Tsk."
Jiang Mian suppressed his irritation; the frequency here was indeed higher than in the west of the city.
Although she had already earned some money, she could also afford to have extra meals.
But they have never encountered any sign of disaster, and the core burden is growing heavier every day.
Should I consider finding a different direction?
She had previously heard from other delivery riders that the city's "Special Materials Disposal Bureau" seemed to be recruiting.
At first, many people wanted to try it out, since it was considered the easiest place to get a permanent position, and the benefits were good, but you had to be bold.
As a result, many people only found out after going there that they were being hired as outsourced workers or temporary workers.
Not to mention the drastic reduction in wages and the lack of any subsidies, they were doing more work than regular employees, essentially becoming slaves to the system.
Jiang Mian didn't care much, after all... the "special supplies" they were dealing with were corpses.
Simply put, this "Special Affairs Bureau" functions similarly to a crematorium in the previous life, its main function being the centralized incineration of various types of corpses.
This includes city residents, those killed outside the city, and all slain Mist creatures and Cataclysmic remains.
Jiang Mian just didn't know if she could get in with her current qualifications. She was worried that her appearance might be the reason she was rejected.
She was considering this when the "click" of the door opening brought her back to her senses.
The door opened a crack, and a woman in a bathrobe with slightly disheveled hair peeked out.
Her face was still flushed, and she seemed to have been disturbed, asking in a slightly impatient tone:
"What are you doing?"
Jiang Mian lifted the bag in her hand and handed it forward:
"Your milk tea is here for delivery."
The woman glanced at the bag and the notes on the form, and her brows immediately furrowed:
"Milk tea? I didn't order it! They sent the wrong thing!"
Before she could finish speaking, she pulled her head back and prepared to close the door.
Who is it?
Jiang Mian heard a deep male voice coming from inside the room.
"The delivery was sent to the wrong address."
It was the woman's voice; she seemed a little nervous.
"Oh~"
Jiang Mian immediately understood. It turned out that Fei Yangyang had ordered it. Looks like he'll get an extra meal again. In this world, milk tea is quite expensive and considered a rare commodity.
However, the moment she opened the door, she seemed to smell something unusual, like... stinky tofu?
A slight smile played on her lips, and wisps of invisible, scorching heat seeped into the room through the crack in the door.
"Heh, finally...found it..."
……
inside the room.
The man eagerly pulled the woman into his arms.
He glanced outside the door and seemed to suddenly smell an unusually sweet aroma.
"similar……"
Regardless of what this fragrant little fellow is up to,
Although I really wanted to eat her, the lifespan of my current "skin" had reached its limit, so I'll change into a different one first, and while I'm at it... take a small bite.
"Oh dear, look how impatient you are!"
The woman punched his chest and unbuttoned her own shirt.
The man's breathing suddenly became rapid, and his movements became a little more forceful, causing the woman to make strange noises and her eyes to become even more glazed.
What she didn't notice was that a barely perceptible strange light flashed in the man's eyes, not that it was lust, but rather... appetite.
Just as the two were getting more intimate and preparing for a deeper exchange, the man suddenly groaned, released the woman, and began scratching his chest uncontrollably with both hands.
"Wei? What happened to you?! Fire...fire?!"
The woman was initially puzzled, but when she saw orange-gold flames suddenly erupt from the man's chest, she was terrified.
She frantically tried to find something to extinguish the flames, but found that the inexplicable fire was impossible to put out.
It takes no more than ten seconds for a man to go from a complete human being to nothing more than a charred black skin.
The woman then realized what was happening and shakily picked up the phone.
"Feed...the police station?"
……
Outside the door, the dark gold in Jiang Mian's eyes gradually faded as he felt the feedback from the skill.
While waiting for the elevator, she took a sip of her milk tea and thought to herself:
"Eat until you're three-tenths full."
Her "Ignite" ability can affect any target within a ten-meter radius.
During times of calamity, although they are usually hidden and unable to sense each other's presence,
However, once she activates her ability, she can know the other party's calamity identity, so she can sense it easily.
At the first level, most awakened beings still have short reach, so my range is already quite large. Plus, it's instantaneous, making me basically invincible among those of the same level.
It seems pretty good indeed?
She retracted her previous assessment; her ability to absorb power remotely was like absorbing experience points in a game—she could get a reward simply by killing someone, which was incredibly convenient.
The one inside is probably the "Painted Skin" from Cataclysm Sequence 97.
Although they are not good at direct combat, their abilities are extremely unpredictable.
Through intimate contact, one can read and copy the target's memories, ultimately replacing them and taking on the victim's "skin".
She had a guess in her mind when she saw that woman.
She only activated [Ignite] after the calamity began to unleash its power.
With a "ding," the elevator arrived at the first floor.
Jiang Mian was in a much better mood after the store finally opened, and she stepped out of the elevator with a slightly lighter heart.
The woman inside has probably already called the police. She's not worried about being suspected, because...
