I'm only three years old, how could it be a world-ending catastrophe?

"So next, I will use my life as a price to unleash my strongest attack, [Return to the Void]."

"If it works, the [Mirror Nightmare] and everything inside it will be completely wiped out."

"Even if it's useless, it can still severely damage it, creating a better opportunity for other S-class superhumans to deal with this calamity later on."

It's always like this.

After going around in circles, we ended up back at the original solution.

Zhao Haidong opened his mouth, as if to say something.

But seeing Luo Yi like this, he didn't know how to stop him.

Luo Yi understood Zhao Haidong's thoughts and immediately spoke up.

"Director Zhao, I know what you're thinking."

"But I can tell you that there are no survivors left in the Mirror Abyss."

"From the time we went in until we found Lu Yao, we didn't encounter a single person along the way."

"Everyone... has most likely met a tragic end."

Except for the two children he deliberately abandoned.

But Luo Yi didn't believe that two unarmed, ordinary children could survive even a minute in a super S-level calamity realm.

Therefore, their fate was already sealed.

Upon hearing this news, Zhao Haidong's last shred of resolve completely crumbled.

He didn't believe that Luo Yi would deceive him on such a matter.

He closed his eyes, as if he could see that hellish scene and hear the wails of countless wronged souls.

Finally, he opened his eyes, and all that remained in them was endless weariness and sorrow.

"Then... let's do as you say..."

……

In an inconspicuous corner at the east gate of the residential area.

When Jiang Hongming and Zhang Hui saw that only Lu Yao had been rescued.

They instantly understood the general situation.

The people from the Extraordinary Bureau abandoned their son, and they also abandoned Xu Niannian.

Jiang Hongming looked at his wife's face, which had instantly lost all color, and felt as if his heart was being stabbed.

He grasped her cold hand, his voice carrying an undeniable resolve.

"Wife, let's go."

"Regardless of the outcome, and regardless of what the future holds."

"Today, we must rescue Luo Luo and Niannian from inside!"

Zhang Hui raised her head and looked into her husband's eyes.

Those eyes, which usually held a gentle smile, were now burning with a raging fire.

She nodded.

She... or rather, they had been prepared for this all along.

From the moment Jiang Luo was born, they were prepared to give everything for him.

Once their Lolo is in dire straits.

Then they won't care about that much.

All they knew was that they were his mom and dad.

Even if it costs them their lives, they will protect their Luo Luo!

……

Inside the children's playground.

Looking in the direction where Luo Yi disappeared, the Nightmare in the Mirror showed an expression of regret on its face made of lenses.

He actually managed to escape using that method.

But it's okay.

Its non-existent tongue licked its non-existent lips, then turned its gaze back to Jiang Luo, who was not far away.

This most delicious main course is still here.

that's enough.

It turned around and walked towards Jiang Luo.

With each step he took, his aura grew stronger.

The entire Mirror Abyss trembled and submitted beneath its feet.

Jiang Luo watched the ugly thing getting closer and closer, and sighed silently in his heart.

He had lived cautiously for so long without any problems.

Unexpectedly, danger struck when he lowered his guard.

Moreover... there seems to be no way to deal with it.

It seems that my short yet long life is about to come to an end here.

Oh well, the sooner I die, the sooner I'll be reborn. I'll just be more careful in my next life.

At this moment, a thin figure stumbled forward, opened his arms, and stood in front of Jiang Luo.

"Please...please don't eat Lolo..."

Xu Niannian's voice was trembling with sobs, yet it was unusually loud.

"Lolo doesn't taste good at all, his meat is sour! It's awful!"

"You...you can eat me! My flesh is sweet, it tastes better than his!"

As the little girl spoke, she tried to puff out her little chest, looking as if she were ready to die.

Jiang Luo looked at her small figure from behind, feeling a mix of emotions.

He never expected that this usually timid and easily crying little tagalong would be so brave at a time like this.

It really was... a bit beyond his expectations.

The Nightmare in the Mirror looked at Xu Niannian, who was blocking its way, and let out a disdainful laugh.

"You think your inferior food is worthy of negotiating with me?"

"Get out of my way!"

It raised its arm made of lenses and waved it casually.

A sharp gust of wind swept towards Xu Niannian.

"Be careful!"

Jiang Luo's pupils contracted. Without thinking, he rushed forward and tackled Xu Niannian to the ground, shielding her with his own body.

He closed his eyes, already prepared to be disemboweled.

however.

The imagined excruciating pain did not come.

He only felt a slight push on his back, and then he felt nothing more.

Ok?

What's going on?

Jiang Luo opened her eyes in confusion and looked back.

The arm that the Nightmare had swung out in the mirror was now stopped on his back, unable to advance even an inch further.

He himself was completely unharmed.

Even the clothes weren't torn.

"this……"

The Nightmare in the Mirror was also stunned.

It looked at its own hands, then at Jiang Luo's small frame, and its face, framed by lenses, revealed a human-like confusion.

"Why is your body so hard?"

hard?

Jiang Luo was also taken aback.

He looked down at his small arms and legs.

That small frame doesn't seem to fit the word "tough" at all...

and many more!

A sudden flash of inspiration struck Jiang Luo.

He thought of that broken system that he had been complaining about for three years!

And that attribute panel that automatically adds points every day!

[Host: Jiang Luo]

【Strength: 400】

【Speed: 214】

【Spirit: 306】

[Defense: 108]

【Perception: 36】

This defense is 108...

Could it be that……

Jiang Luo's heart began to pound uncontrollably.

A thought that made him tremble with excitement welled up from the bottom of his heart.

If the "dangerous world" the system described is true.

Are these attribute points... also real?!

To verify his idea.

Jiang Luo made a bold move.

He turned around, looked at the arm of the Nightmare still resting on his back in the mirror, reached out his little hand, and grabbed it.

Then, squeeze hard!

Click!

A crisp sound of bone cracking rang out.

The arm of the Nightmare in the Mirror, composed of countless hard lenses, was crushed to pieces by Jiang Luo's gentle pinch!

The Nightmare in the Mirror let out a painful roar and abruptly withdrew its arm.

It looked at its paw, which had been reduced to a pile of fragments, with disbelief in its eyes.

"How...is this possible?!"

"Where did you get such strength?!"

Jiang Luo, looking at her perfectly intact little hand, was overjoyed.

Really!

It's actually true!

Strength 400!

This attribute is not just for show!

He always thought this broken system was just for thesis defense, and the attribute points given every day were useless.

Now he realizes just how wrong he was!

This is not garbage!

This is simply a god-level system!

Over the past three years, I have gained one attribute point every day, adding more than a thousand points in total!

Although most of the points were allocated to Strength, the other attributes are also quite high!

These panel data, if placed in this world, would be nothing short of superhuman!

Jiang Luo really wanted to slap herself twice.

How could I have forgotten about this floor!

"You don't need to know."

Jiang Luo raised his head and looked at the nightmare in the mirror in front of him. A wicked smile appeared on his small face, which was inconsistent with his age.

"You just need to understand."

"Now, you're in for a lot of trouble!"
