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

Just as Zhao Haidong paced back and forth, frantically pondering how to settle Jiang Luo.

His peripheral vision inadvertently swept over the ventilation vent in the corner of the room, and his gaze froze instantly.

There……

A bloodshot, crimson eye peers through the gaps in the grille, peering into this place!

That is……

"Calamity!!!"

He let out a sharp shout and shot out like an arrow, his five fingers forming claws as he aimed straight for the eye in the ventilation duct.

The others in the room were taken aback by the sudden turn of events, but they quickly recovered and assumed fighting stances.

……

Inside a private room at the coffee shop.

Jiang Hongming was greatly alarmed.

not good!

It was discovered!

He immediately manipulated his eyeballs to quickly retrace his steps, then abruptly stood up and rushed out of the coffee shop.

"Trying to run away?!"

In the room next to the testing room, Zhao Haidong saw this and, without the slightest hesitation, threw a punch.

boom!

A large hole was blasted through the solid ceiling and ventilation ducts, sending debris and dust flying everywhere.

Zhao Haidong crawled into the cave and followed the lingering aura of calamity all the way to the window on the third floor.

Finally, he smashed the glass and jumped from the third floor.

From the air, Zhao Haidong spotted a figure running out of the coffee shop.

it's him!

At this moment, Jiang Hongming also sensed the presence locking onto him from the air, but he did not panic at all.

After that red eyeball fell and disappeared into the space between the eyebrows.

Without pausing for a moment, Jiang Hongming plunged into the bustling pedestrian street not far away.

After Zhao Haidong landed, the dark figure had already disappeared.

Even the aura of calamity was completely erased by some skillful means at this moment, leaving no trace whatsoever.

Zhao Haidong stood there, his face extremely gloomy.

The opponent's reaction speed, precise choice of escape route, and near-perfect stealth techniques...

This is no ordinary calamity!

The commotion startled passersby, who cast curious glances their way, and some of the bolder ones even took out their phones to take pictures.

The Extraordinary Bureau's field agents, who had been stationed outside, immediately stepped forward and quickly dispersed the crowd using excuses such as "a movie is being filmed, and we were just testing an explosion scene."

They also put up a cordon to check if there were any other disasters or potential dangers inside the cafe.

Zhao Haidong then quickly returned to that room.

Upon entering, before anyone could ask any questions, he immediately issued a series of orders.

"Seal off all entrances and exits of the hospital; no one is allowed to enter or leave!"

"Retrieve surveillance footage from all floors of the hospital, as well as all surveillance footage within a 500-meter radius of the surrounding streets!"

"I want to see all the footage within five minutes!"

Everyone in the room sprang into action immediately, the atmosphere tense as a taut string.

Everyone is speculating.

Let's speculate on the purpose of this calamity infiltrating this hospital!

……

The efficiency of the Extraordinary Bureau is extremely high.

Less than three minutes.

All surveillance footage from inside the hospital and within a 500-meter radius was retrieved.

Hundreds of screens illuminated the entire room as bright as day.

Zhao Haidong stood in front of the control panel, his eyes sharp as an eagle, scanning the images frame by frame.

However, nothing was found.

That man...

Or rather, it's that calamity!

It was like a real ghost, perfectly avoiding being seen from the front by all the cameras.

Every turn, every lowering of the head, was perfectly timed to place one's face in a blind spot of the surveillance camera.

This calamity is not only powerful, but its mind is also terrifyingly meticulous!

Zhao Haidong's mind was racing.

Why is that calamity here?

Why take such a big risk to monitor them?

Could it be that, like the ghost child, it was also attracted by Jiang Luo's peculiar soul aura?

But why didn't it attack Jiang Luo directly like the other two, but instead chose to spy on him from the shadows...?

and many more!

A scene suddenly flashed through Zhao Haidong's mind.

That was half an hour earlier, when he learned that Luo Yi had woken up and went to Luo Yi's ward, he saw the figure of a man who brushed past him in the corridor.

He was preoccupied with other things at the time and didn't pay attention.

But looking back now...

The man's figure, and the calamistic silhouette he had just seen...

seem……

It's exactly the same!

A person's aura may be faked, but their physique and walking habits are very difficult to change completely in a short time!

Thinking of this, Zhao Haidong immediately shouted, "Get me all the information about the man who brushed past me in the corridor of the third ward of the special care unit half an hour ago!"

The staff nearby didn't dare to delay and immediately started working on the main control computer at lightning speed.

The results came out quickly.

A technician paused and zoomed in on one of the surveillance images.

The footage clearly shows all the personal information of the man who brushed past Zhao Haidong.

Address, workplace, family members... everything is included.

And his name was—

Jiang Hongming!

Jiang Luo's father!

"It's him...it's actually him?"

Zhao Haidong stared blankly at the unremarkable face on the screen.

He never imagined that Jiang Luo's father would actually be a calamity!

If that's the case...

Then all the previous doubts might make sense!

Jiang Hongming was worried that his son was also a calamity, or that something might happen to his son during the testing. That's why he risked being exposed and kept a watchful eye on everything in the testing room in that eerie way!

At the same time, Zhao Haidong had another, bolder, and more alarming guess.

If this calamity really is Jiang Hongming.

So, Jiang Luo...

Jiang Luo is the offspring of a calamity and an ordinary human!

This explains why Jiang Luo possesses such an unbelievable and terrifying fourth-class power, despite not having any aura of calamity on him!

Thinking about it more deeply...

is not it……

Is Jiang Luo himself part of a horrific experiment conducted by this calamity named Jiang Hongming?

Could the offspring of an experimental calamity and humanity possess the potential to surpass both?

And now...

It seems he succeeded?

If this speculation is true...

The significance behind this will far exceed the threat posed by an SSS-level calamity!

This means that the calamity has found a way to bypass human defenses and dismantle the human world from within!

Just as Zhao Haidong was becoming increasingly alarmed and a chill ran down his spine.

A team member rushed in, his face beaming with barely suppressed joy.

"Chief! The captain's awake!"

The captain he was referring to was naturally Li Zheng.

This news temporarily pulled Zhao Haidong out of his terrifying thoughts, and his spirits lifted.

Li Zheng was not only his subordinate, but the two also had a very close personal relationship.

He was also the only survivor besides Jiang Luo and Xu Niannian in the "Nightmare in the Mirror" incident.

Zhao Haidong immediately set off for Li Zheng's ward.

He not only needed to confirm Li Zheng's condition, but also to see how much he had been affected by the calamity.

Luo Yi's choice was still fresh in his mind, and he didn't want to see Li Zheng follow the same path.

Similarly, he also wanted to see if he could confirm with Li Zheng what had just happened inside the Mirror Abyss.

Perhaps we can find more clues about Jiangluo's power in Li Zheng's description.

Zhao Haidong made up his mind.

After visiting Li Zheng, he went to the Jiang family in person.

He had to confirm whether the man named Jiang Hongming was the same calamity from before!

Is everything just as he suspected?
