You call me a calamity? But I am Hyper Zetton!

Police station interrogation room.

The fat policeman and the thin policeman sat side by side, and they looked at each other.

They then turned their heads at the same time to look at Wu Bai, who looked guilty.

The portly policeman asked meaningfully, "Are you... stressed again?"

Wu Bai waved his hands repeatedly, his face full of innocence.

"No, no, this is a misunderstanding. But that's not important. I want to report this. I found two Calamities at the scene."

"And the calamity is now mixed in with the group of prostitutes you arrested."

Wu Bai had originally planned to call and report the incident as soon as he went downstairs.

But who would have thought that they would run into an acquaintance on the second floor, and then encounter the anti-prostitution squad?

The police searched the second floor, while the two victims were on the third floor.

Seemingly fearing that the police would search the third floor, they voluntarily blended into the crowd on the second floor.

That way, even if the police search the room on the third floor, they won't be exposed.

The two policemen, one fat and one thin, stood up in shock: "Are you telling the truth? Can you identify which two they are?"

"I'd recognize him even if he were ashes." Wu Bai nodded firmly, then rubbed his hands together somewhat awkwardly, and tentatively asked, "Um... I heard there's a reward for reporting disasters?"

Having received an affirmative answer, the fat policeman ran out, clearly to inform the people of the Slayer Division.

The thin policeman nodded and explained with a smile:

"Yes, they do exist. They cost 50,000 yuan each. If this is verified, you can receive a 100,000 yuan bonus, and..."

"Because you are the orphan of a martyr, I can help you submit a report and apply for a special subsidy of 20,000 yuan, bringing the total to 120,000 yuan."

Wu Bai slapped his thigh, his face full of excitement, perfectly portraying the exhilaration of someone who had suddenly become rich.

"That's great, thank you very much, officer."

……

Soon, the fat and thin policemen brought Wu Bai and three second-tier awakened individuals to the monitoring room.

Wu Bai stood in front of the monitoring station, his sharp gaze sweeping across the various split screens before finally pointing to two screens.

"It's this man and woman."

The three awakened individuals acted swiftly, turning and leaving without a word after confirming their target.

Through the monitor screen, Wu Bai clearly saw three awakened individuals rush into the detention room.

It started as a tentative exchange.

Immediately afterwards, the two "humans" suddenly twisted their faces, reverting to their hideous calamity forms, and tried to break through the encirclement.

However, the three second-tier awakened individuals coordinated perfectly and swarmed forward, launching a righteous brawl.

On the screen, the Awakened One skillfully used a knife to cut open the Calamity's head and dug out two faintly glowing white crystals.

Wu Bai raised an eyebrow.

That's the Source Crystal.

First-order: white; second-order: green; third-order: blue.

……

Awakened beings become stronger by absorbing this stuff. The higher their ranking in the sequence, the more source crystals they need to advance, and of course, the more monstrous their strength becomes.

Similar crystals also exist in the brains of the Mist Creatures, but those are called "Beast Crystals," and the energy they contain is far less pure than that of the Source Crystals.

A thousand Tier 1 Beast Crystals on the market are equivalent to one Tier 1 Source Crystal.

This stuff is a hard currency; the official purchase price is 80,000 yuan per piece, and it's even higher on the black market.

But Wu Bai was just an ordinary person. He didn't know anything about the black market, and selling it to the authorities would be too conspicuous. It was safer for him to just take the prize money.

……

After completing the formalities, Wu Bai, carrying a heavy black plastic bag, walked out of the police station with a heavily made-up woman.

Standing on the steps.

The woman raised her hand and tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, giving Wu Bai a charming and alluring look.

"Young man, thank you for bailing me out... otherwise I wouldn't know what to do."

She leaned closer, her tone suggestive.

"How about now? Let's find a place, and I won't take your money."

Wu Bai glanced at her coldly and said righteously:

"Stop."

"Since you're getting married soon, stop doing this kind of work and go back to living a good life with your husband."

After saying that, he strode away without looking back, his back view resolute.

The woman stood there stunned, then gave a self-deprecating smile and looked down at the diamond ring on her finger: "He really is a handsome young man with principles."

She shook her head, turned and walked in the opposite direction, disappearing into the night.

……

Meanwhile, at No. 7 Middle School, the school bell rang on time.

In the classroom of Class 2, Grade 12, the students are busy packing their schoolbags.

Suddenly, the light at the doorway dimmed, and a large group of people walked in, led by the man with the buzz cut.

The previously noisy classroom fell silent instantly. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the uninvited guests with doubt and fear in their eyes.

The man with the buzz cut stood on the podium, looking around with a furrowed brow.

Where is Wu Bai?

No one dared to utter a sound.

The man with the buzz cut twitched his fleshy face and strode to the front row.

He grabbed a bespectacled boy by the collar and lifted him off his seat like a chick.

"Are you deaf? Do you want me to clear your ears?"

The bespectacled man trembled with fear, pointed to the empty seat by the window in the back row, and stammered:

"Wu... Wu Bai didn't come today. He must have taken the day off... He often takes time off to go out and work."

"Hold."

The man with the buzz cut shoved the man with glasses to the ground and led his men straight to Wu Bai's seat.

"Bang."

He raised his foot and kicked Wu Bai's desk hard.

The table crashed to the ground, scattering books everywhere and kicking up dust.

"Damn it, this kid must have known we were going to ambush him after school, so he ran away early."

The man with the buzz cut turned around, glaring fiercely at the students still staring blankly in the classroom, and roared:

"What are you looking at? Get lost!"

The students, as if granted a pardon, grabbed their schoolbags, hurriedly got up, and rushed out of the classroom as if their lives depended on it.

A moment later, the classroom was empty, leaving only the crew-cut guy and his group.

A henchman approached, offering a cigarette with a fawning expression: "Boss, it's not good if he keeps avoiding us."

The man with the buzz cut took the cigarette, but didn't light it. He just held it to his nose and smelled it, his eyes filled with malice.

After a while, a cruel smile appeared on his lips, and he reached out and put his arm around the neck of his underling.

"You can run away from the monk, but you can't hide from the temple. Go get a few Molotov cocktails. Tonight, we'll burn this kid's house down."

The underling thumped his chest loudly: "Don't worry, boss, leave it to me."

……

In Wu Bai's home, the living room lights were dim and yellowish.

On the sofa, Wu Minmin held Su Nianzhen tightly, who was crying with tears streaming down her face. She gently patted Su Nianzhen's back while wiping away her tears with a tissue.

"Sister Zhenzhen, you can stay at my place for now. I'll figure out how to solve the money problem, don't worry."

Su Nianzhen shook her head and wiped away her tears with the back of her hand: "No, I can't drag you down with me. What if those loan sharks find out I'm at your house?"

"They'll definitely come and throw paint on your house, and your house will suffer too."

Wu Minmin forcefully stuffed the tissue into her hand, her tone firm.

"Back then, those old men entrusted their backs to each other on the battlefield. Now that you're in trouble, how can I abandon you?"

Upon hearing this, Su Nianzhen could no longer hold back and burst into tears, sobbing as she said:

"You said the exact same thing as your brother... I really don't know how to thank you..."

Wu Minmin's eyes darted around, she smiled slyly, and leaned close to her ear.

"Then become my sister-in-law, and we'll be family from now on."

Su Nianzhen's crying stopped abruptly, and two blushes instantly appeared on her cheeks.

She twisted her fingers, and said hesitantly, "Your brother... might not agree yet."

Wu Minmin's eyes lit up: There's hope.

She was making her own plans.

In her previous life, Su Nianzhen was a super genius who awakened the [Sequence 003 - God of the Other Shore].

Unfortunately, in her previous life, she ate her mother who was in the hospital because of "HyperJetton".

Blinded by hatred, she relentlessly pursued Hyper Zetton after awakening, ultimately meeting a tragic end.

If I could "lure" her into becoming my sister-in-law before she awakens to her true nature...

That way, he would not only have another powerful helper to hunt down Hyper Zetton, but his brother would also have another super backer, Sequence 003.

Outsider: "Sequence 011 - God of Radiance, Sequence 003 - God of the Other Shore, you're saying this is an ordinary family?"

Wu Bai: "You're wrong, plus the Calamity Sequence 001: Hyper Zetton."
