The command center was very quiet.

Only the red electronic countdown on the big screen ticked away.

"drop--"

"drop--"

The video feed cuts in.

This is the extremely cold abyss 300 meters below the surface of Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain.

The searchlights of the "Deep Blue" fortress, operating at full power, barely managed to pierce the ink-black darkness underwater.

All the experts held their breath, their foreheads covered in cold sweat.

Jiang Han sat imposingly in the main seat, his hands crossed and resting on his chin.

His eyes were slightly narrowed.

Deep within his pupils, a dark golden light was slowly flowing.

The first minute of the video was calm and peaceful.

Only the occasional underwater microorganisms and ripples of surging currents could be seen in the beams of searchlight.

An elderly expert with gray hair couldn't help but wipe his sweat, explaining in a trembling voice.

"Advisor Jiang, this is the ultrasonic deterrent net surrounding the fortress."

"Even a Class A water monster wouldn't dare approach this area..."

The old expert hadn't finished speaking.

"Sizzle—!"

The video footage suddenly began to distort violently!

The piercing crackling sound of the electric microphone instantly echoed throughout the command room, forcing several technicians to cover their ears in pain.

Jiang Han suddenly leaned forward.

The dark gold vertical pupils were fixed on a shadow in the upper right corner of the screen.

The image resolution instantly dropped to extremely low, with the screen filled with static and stuttering, as if it had been subjected to some kind of extremely terrifying strong magnetic field interference.

"Is it an equipment malfunction?" A high-ranking military officer swallowed hard, trying to find some psychological comfort.

The voice just fell.

The image instantly returned to high definition!

At that moment, everyone's heart skipped a beat!

The "Deep Blue" fortress has a special explosion-proof glass that is half a meter thick.

It was pressed tightly against a pale, swollen human face!

The face had no facial features, only a round mouth covered with fine barbs that was opening and closing wildly!

"vomit--"

A young female researcher immediately covered her mouth, feeling a wave of nausea wash over her.

"boom!"

Jiang Han slammed his hand on the table, his eyes flashing with ferocity.

"That's not a human face at all."

"Look carefully!"

As the beam of the searchlight slowly moved, the true face of that "human face" was finally fully revealed to everyone.

It was just a suction cup!

One of the countless suckers growing on a grayish-white fleshy tentacle with a diameter of over ten meters!

The surface of this tentacle is covered with bluish-black patterns similar to human blood vessels.

It is wriggling and contracting frantically underwater.

The extreme Cthulhu-esque visual impact instantly shattered the worldviews of all the scientists present.

"What...what kind of monster is this?!"

"My God! How could there possibly be a carbon-based life form of this size on Earth!"

Followed by.

The second one!

The third one!

Eight thick, pale tentacles rose from the abyss at the bottom of Tianchi Lake!

They were like eight giant ancient pythons, instantly coiling around the entire "deep blue" titanium alloy fortress!

"Crunch—crunch—"

The sickening metallic creaking sound alone could evoke a sense of despair, even through the screen.

The titanium alloy shell, which was strong enough to withstand the shock wave of a small nuclear explosion, began to deform like a soda can under the strangulation of these tentacles!

Sparks flew wildly in the deep water!

Inside the fortress, the red alarm lights flashed a blinding crimson!

Desperate screams could be faintly heard from the communication channel before being crushed by the water pressure.

The experts screamed in terror, and some were so frightened that their legs went weak and they collapsed under their chairs.

"pause!"

Jiang Han suddenly let out a cold shout, his voice carrying a hint of the oppressive aura of the Qilin bloodline.

It instantly quelled the panic in the room.

He stretched out his finger and pointed to the center of the screen, where the two thickest tentacles met.

"Zoom in on that area."

"Sharpening".

The technician was sweating profusely, his hands frantically typing on the keyboard.

The image zooms in again and again.

The pixels gradually become clearer.

When the image at that location is completely frozen.

The entire command center fell into a deathly silence more terrifying than the abyss.

Above the raging, pale tentacles.

There was a figure standing there quietly!

The man was wearing a thin black shirt and had his hands in his pockets.

He just stood casually at the top of the tentacles.

Completely ignoring the terrifying water pressure at a depth of 300 meters underwater, and also ignoring the absolute zero temperature that could freeze a human to death instantly!

He slowly turned his head.

He gave a bizarre, even slightly neurotic smile to the surveillance cameras outside the fortress.

That was a face.

A face exactly like Jiang Han's, who was sitting in the main seat!

"Whoosh!"

The command center erupted in chaos!

Everyone's eyes darted back and forth between the "monster" on the screen and Jiang Han sitting in the main seat.

His eyes were filled with extreme fear, wariness, and even a hint of despair.

Several special forces members responsible for security even instinctively took a half step back, their hands already reaching for the holsters on their waists.

They look exactly alike.

Even their arrogant, domineering demeanor is exactly the same.

"Could it be... that Jiang Han is the monster?!"

The uncanny valley effect caused by information asymmetry reached its maximum at this moment.

Only Jiang Han himself knows.

That was the "defective product number zero" that Xu Fu cloned using his genes in the underground palace of the Qin Dynasty.

The monster that stole a trace of his bloodline and escaped from the underground palace.

He faced the horrified gazes of the entire audience and the gun barrels secretly pointed at him.

Jiang Han didn't even lift his eyelids.

He slowly picked up a cup of hot tea from the table, gently blew on the floating tea leaves, and took a sip.

"Stop looking."

Jiang Han put down his teacup, making a crisp clinking sound.

That's not me.

He raised his eyes, his dark golden vertical pupils sweeping across the entire room with a high-dimensional contempt.

"If I wanted to kill someone."

"There's no need to create so many disgusting tentacles."

"I can split that broken iron pot in two with one stroke."

Extreme arrogance!

His words were extremely domineering, coupled with the pure Qilin aura emanating from him.

This instantly resolved the potentially fatal crisis of trust.

The special forces soldiers, drenched in sweat, loosened their grips on their rifles and lowered their heads in shame.

The last three seconds of the video.

The clone on the screen, dressed in a black shirt, moved its lips slightly.

Then, the eight enormous tentacles suddenly contracted!

"boom--!!!"

The entire "Deep Blue" fortress instantly imploded!

The screen completely transformed into a blinding expanse of snowflakes.

Inside the command room, only heavy breathing could be heard.

Jiang Han looked at the snowflake and a cruel sneer curled at the corner of his mouth.

He could read the clone's lips.

That was a provocation directed at him, transcending space.

"Ontology. 』

"I've come to find you."

Changbai Mountain.

Jiang Han stood up and casually slung the black gold ancient sword over his shoulder.

His eyes blazed with an intense fighting spirit.

"I'll take this job."
