Jiang Hongming stopped washing the vegetables.

He nodded, picked up the rag next to him, and wiped the water off his hands.

Then, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers lightly.

Snapped!

A crisp sound.

next second.

The doors to the living room, bedroom, and study were all slammed shut at the same time by an invisible force.

Immediately afterwards, all the curtains seemed to come to life and automatically "whoosh" shut.

The entire room was instantly plunged into darkness.

Only the kitchen light was still on, its rays seeping through the crack in the door and casting a long strip of light across the dimly lit living room.

Jiang Hongming slowly walked to the center of the living room.

He closed his eyes, as if he was preparing something.

A few seconds later, he suddenly opened his eyes.

[Remember the fastest online novel website: 121999.com]

A bizarre scene unfolded.

Right in the center of his forehead, his skin rippled like water.

Immediately afterwards, a thin line of blood appeared out of nowhere and then slowly split open to both sides.

One eye.

A bloodshot, scarlet eye opened wide from the crack!

That eye had no pupil, only a chaotic blood-red color, exuding a chillingly evil aura.

This is not over yet.

After the eye appeared, it began to grow and enlarge wildly.

What was originally just an eyeball on his forehead quickly took up half of his face.

Then comes the whole face.

At last.

That enormous eyeball had transformed into a gaping, scarlet maw filled with sharp teeth, covering his entire face from his forehead to his chin!

Jiang Hongming's entire body transformed into something with only a gaping, blood-red mouth on its face!

The huge mouth writhed and then suddenly opened wide.

He spat something out from deep in his throat.

No, it should be said that it was one person.

A woman who looked to be around thirty years old was spit out of that huge mouth, covered in a clump of slime, and fell onto the living room floor.

Except for her terrified eyes, which could still move, she couldn't move any other part of her body, as if she had been frozen in place.

She looked at the monster in front of her, whose face consisted of only a mouth, and its eyes were filled with extreme fear and despair.

At this moment, Zhang Hui walked out of the kitchen barefoot, step by step.

With a gentle smile on her face, she walked up to the woman and slowly knelt down.

She reached out and gently stroked the woman's face, which was contorted with fear, her eyes filled with tenderness.

"What a captivating face! Her skin is so flawless; even I would want to kiss her."

"but……"

Her tone changed, and the smile on her face disappeared.

"Why are you so unlucky?"

"How could it be...a calamity?!"

As Zhang Hui laughed, her beautiful face gradually became ferocious.

The hands that were caressing the woman's cheeks underwent a terrifying transformation at that moment.

Five slender fingers began to grow wildly, thickening and lengthening.

Sharp barbs grew on the surface of the skin.

The number of fingers is also increasing rapidly.

Five, ten, twenty...

Finally, her entire arm transformed into a limb composed of countless twisted tentacles!

The tentacles, like venomous snakes, instantly coiled around the woman's entire body on the ground.

Then, begin to tighten and squeeze!

"Well……"

The woman couldn't make a sound; she could only let out painful groans from her throat.

Her eyes were filled with pain, despair, and pleading!

She was in so much pain that she wanted to scream and beg for mercy, but she couldn't utter a single word.

until……

boom!

A dull thud.

A strong, pungent smell of blood instantly filled the air.

At this moment, Jiang Hongming's gaping maw, which covered his entire face, began to writhe.

It inhaled sharply!

A powerful suction force emanated from that gaping maw.

All the blood and debris around seemed to be attracted by a super-powerful vacuum cleaner, turning into a blood-red torrent and being sucked into that mouth.

In just a few minutes.

The once messy living room has been restored to cleanliness.

There wasn't even a trace of blood on the floor.

"Today's meal is complete!"

Zhang Hui looked satisfied, and a gentle smile returned to her face.

Her arm, which had turned into a tentacle monster, gradually returned to its original state, becoming her fair and slender jade hand again.

Jiang Hongming's gaping maw rapidly shrank back into his crimson eyes, eventually disappearing beneath the skin of his forehead.

He reverted to being that seemingly ordinary middle-aged man.

He raised his hand and snapped his fingers again.

Snapped!

All the closed doors opened automatically.

All the drawn windows

The curtains opened automatically.

The sunlight shone in again, and everything in the room returned to normal.

The couple looked at each other and saw a hint of satisfaction in each other's eyes.

They went back to the kitchen and continued preparing dinner, just like any ordinary couple.

It was as if that bloody and horrific scene had never happened.

……

In the kitchen, the clanging sound of chopping vegetables rang out again.

As Zhang Hui skillfully handled the pork in her hands, she spoke, her voice tinged with a hint of emotion.

"Honey, I never expected that Yao Yao would be a sacrifice."

"She even told us this huge secret on her own initiative."

"Her trust in us is truly...complete."

Her tone became somewhat complicated as she finished speaking.

There was something touching, but also something indescribable.

Jiang Hongming was scaling the fish and didn't even look up when he heard this.

"She's had a tough time too. Her parents passed away early, and her only brother is gone. Our family is all she has left in this world."

"So it's normal for her to trust us like this, as long as we don't let her down."

Zhang Hui sighed.

"This child has such a hard life."

"My concern is, will the legendary cataclysmic disaster really occur?"

"Is Yao Yao really going to sacrifice her life for this world?"

A genuine reluctance was revealed in her eyes.

Although they are calamities.

But they are not like their kind, who only know destruction and killing.

Their consciousness was not completely overtaken by the primal power of calamity within them, and they did not become the kind of scourge that only brought destruction and suffering.

Although they also need to eat, they need to devour others to maintain their existence and strength.

But their food source has always been the same.

Those are their kind—other calamities.

They are like scavengers in a disaster, or rather, outliers.

They never harm ordinary people; in fact, to some extent, they protect the balance of the world.

Of course, they did this not because of any noble sentiments.

It's simply because devouring humans is like eating dirt to them—not only is it hard to swallow, but it also doesn't provide any energy replenishment.

Only by torturing and devouring their own kind can they feel "full" and draw enough power.

Therefore, Zhang Hui doesn't care what the world will become.

The survival of humanity is none of her concern.

All she cares about is herself and her family.

Jiang Hongming rinsed the prepared fish clean and placed it on the cutting board.

Don't overthink it.

"No one can predict the future."

"Didn't those people from the Extraordinary Bureau say that the appearance of the sacrificers is just a sign and doesn't necessarily mean that a cataclysmic disaster will happen?"

"Let's just live in the moment. As for the outcome, it's not something we can control."

Zhang Hui nodded, agreeing with her husband's point.

There must be a way to the front of the mountain.

Thinking about it more won't help.

She started marinating the chopped pork, then suddenly remembered something, and a look of worry appeared on her face.

"Honey, I'm still worried about Luo Luo's baby."

"He is, after all,...our child, a descendant of calamity."

"What if one day the power within him awakens, and he can't control himself? What then?"
