Sir! Don't close the net!

Li Yili rolled her eyes. "What if all those [humans] were like me?"

? ”

He had considered that this was another trick by the Cult of Steam and Steel, but he quickly dismissed the idea.

Although there was an idiot who claimed to be a real human, the person in charge clearly knew what a real human was. Judging from his respectful attitude, they probably wouldn't dare to call themselves "human" in their actions, especially since he, a real human, was in the wasteland.

Harry, the manager, was very sensible and knew how to maintain a good balance. He flattered Harry without overstepping his bounds by offering to think for him or do his bidding. Instead, he presented the best things for Harry to choose from.

The fact that the gangs who released pollutants into the Jurassic Circle clearly occurred in the last two days.

"Huh?" Rebecca's tail drooped instantly, and after a long while, she swallowed hard. "Just like you, you, you are the same as me, how are you the same?"

"Well... that's just a guess, but they've had similar experiences to me, although their choices were a little different..."

Li Yili's gaze shifted upwards, and Shub's profile appeared in her mind. From their first encounter to their reunion, the former cadre, the most mysterious and extremely suspicious Black Goat, all pointed to one possibility.

Shub was from his hometown, and it's perfectly normal for people from the same hometown to hug each other when they meet. Even if Shub buried his face in his chest, Shub wouldn't get angry; in fact, he would hug him even tighter. It's also perfectly reasonable for people from the same hometown to ride tricycles together in a foreign land.

Shub was just one of the former executives.

If that's the case, then the old practice of constantly smuggling and creating pollutants makes much more sense.

"But conclusions were reached and corresponding changes occurred."

Li Yili looked down at her body, which was covered by the yellow raincoat, and grinned.

Rebecca gasped. Although she couldn't understand what Li Yili was saying, she realized one thing: Li Yili wasn't the only one in the world who was so abnormally terrifying, and the events happening in the Jurassic Circle were a direct result of such a terrifying existence.

And she has to fight against such a terrifying existence.

After thinking about it, Rebecca's legs felt a little weak.

"Um...I..."

Sensing Rebecca's intention to back down, Li Yili turned to look at Rebecca and said quietly, "Do you want to offend me?"

No! How could that be!

Rebecca jolted awake and stumbled to Li Yili's side, nuzzling her arm with her head in a fawning gesture.

"Well, since you're all the same, shouldn't you get along well? Love and peace, right? Even if a family quarrels... Waaah—can you please not drag the poor dog into this? Domestic violence doesn't involve pets."

Li Yili glanced at Rebecca but didn't say anything.

Rebecca's expression changed, and her ears twitched slightly backward. "Did I... say something wrong?"

"Who knows? These are things I can't possibly understand."

Li Yili raised her hand and patted Rebecca's head.

Was his appearance in this world accidental or inevitable?

Is humanity using this place as an ecological capsule to revive some race, or is it simply a game of civilization?

Was Shub the only cadre from the past who was like him, or were the vast majority of cadres like him?

He faced far too many problems, and he... wasn't interested in these kinds of problems that seemed to multiply as he unpacked them, like Russian nesting dolls, especially with only one year left until 2012.

If someone told him the answer directly, he would certainly applaud, but things in this world aren't that easy, and no one is willing to tell him the answer, not even... Shub.

Then naturally, he can do whatever he wants, but if he accidentally punches one of his own in the face...

Oh, I'm so sorry, why didn't you tell me you were here? By the way, who are you? Are we that close?

Li Yili crossed her arms, raised her head, and nodded vigorously.

That's what he said if such a thing really happened, but judging from the current trend, it shouldn't be too far off.

What were the thoughts of the ancient people—no, I should say, the "humans"—who secretly entrusted the legacy of the ancient gods, which had unleashed true power, to the already restless Jurassic Circle? As "humans," they should know very well what would happen if this long-corrupted mob organization gained "power."

His only curiosity now was whether the humans had consulted with the Cult of Steam and Steel about what they were doing, and what the Cult of Steam and Steel's attitude was towards the humans' actions that would cause chaos in the entire Jurassic Circle and the collapse of the wasteland's social hierarchy.

"Hmm—this is really a headache," Li Yili paused, looked up at the sky, "It's better to be a reckless person, I can do whatever I want, anyway, there's only one year left in the world!"

Rebecca covered her head and trembled.

Chapter Sixty-Nine: My hair is starting to fall out!

When others say they can do whatever they want, Rebecca would just smile dismissively and think they're just bluffing. But when it's Li Yili who says that, the situation is different. She knows very well that Li Yili really does have the ability to do whatever she wants. Of course, the scariest thing isn't that. There are many people in this world with that ability. What's truly terrifying is Li Yili's mind!

Who knows how many dangerous ideas are in Li Yili's head!

Perhaps, Li Yili is now upset, or

Those who find it troublesome go on a killing spree in the Jurassic Circle!

and many more……

Rebecca bit her nails and pondered for a moment before slowly opening her eyes.

If Li Yili goes on a killing spree in the Jurassic Circle, doesn't that mean she can tear them apart too?

“You…you’re not expecting something, are you?” Li Yili glanced at Rebecca, her gaze lingering on Rebecca’s wagging tail, and narrowed her eyes. “Are you losing control of your wild side?”

Rebecca paused, tilting her head slightly to one side. "Really? I feel great right now, in fact, I feel amazing. Look at my arms, compared to now, my previous arms were like bamboo poles."

As she spoke, Rebecca opened her arms to show Li Yili her body, which seemed to be born to hunt life. She was naked, yet incredibly bold and confident. Even when she was hairless, she would blush if she showed her shoulder.

Li Yili recalled the past that Rebecca had mentioned to him during casual conversations.

In the past, Rebecca considered herself a wolf, living freely and happily with a pack of wolves. Then, on a very ordinary day, Rebecca felt an almost nauseating disgust at the memories of living among the wolves. After that, Rebecca quite readily killed all her "companions." Judging from Rebecca's tone, she hasn't felt any regret even now.

Rebecca's attitude towards the residents of the Jurassic Circle is now very subtle. She always seems eager to start a killing spree. Just now at the butcher shop, if he hadn't been watching, not a single one of them would have been left alive.

If the reason Rebecca is unable to control her bloodthirsty nature now is because she suppressed her werewolf side during the Triple Circle event, then Rebecca's self-control is simply too strong. So far, there has been no sign of her going berserk, except for her verbal outbursts of rage.

Li Yili reached out and grabbed Rebecca's head, shaking it from side to side, raising an eyebrow, "Do you have a grudge against the Jurassic Circle gangs?"

“No,” Rebecca said, her eyes clear as a stream.

"So, do you want to tear them apart?"

"Are you going to make a move?"

It looks very much like it.

"What do you think of that guy?" Li Yili pointed to a blond man with five earrings walking down the street.

“Divide it into eight pieces!” Rebecca raised her hands high.

"Where is that person?" Li Yili pointed again to the woman carrying the basket, who looked rather kind.

“Well…” Rebecca leaned back slightly, frowned, and then slowly nodded. “Then let’s cut it horizontally… into three pieces.”

There was no hatred, no conflict, not even any relationship. Rebecca spoke as casually as if she were discussing how well-done a steak should be. To Rebecca, the residents of the Jurassic Circle were indeed much like steaks.

But no matter what, no one would be so bored as to cut up every steak they see. And now Rebecca not only wants to cut steaks, but she wants to cut up all the steaks, simply because... she wants to do it.

Clearly, although it wasn't as severe as when she lived with the wolves, Rebecca was still driven by impulses.

However, this situation is not unique to Rebecca; even Li Yili herself occasionally experiences sudden dazes, feeling impatient and repulsed by everything around her, and having the urge to simply destroy everything around her.

Perhaps it's not just him who has this impulse, and such an impulse can really lead to trouble. Maybe only by fully immersing himself in this place will this impulse disappear.

"Go back to sleep," Li Yili patted Rebecca's face, turned around, stretched, and lifted her leg forward.

"Huh? You're going back already!"

Before Rebecca could finish speaking, Gray and Penny appeared on either side of her, raising their lanterns at the same time.

"Sleep! Sleep is good! I love sleeping the most, so please don't shine the light on me, waah—my fur is starting to fall out, please give me back my clothes!"

After a long while, Wojci finally came to his senses and struggled to sit up, leaning against the wall. In front of him, amidst the filth, lay two glittering gems.

Li Yili did not take away the precious legacy of the ancient gods that had unleashed true power.

Woch glanced at his short right hand, swallowed hard, bent down and picked up the two gems from the ground. After hesitating for a moment, he carefully pressed the gems onto his short right hand. A ghostly green light flashed, and with a series of popping sounds, his short right hand suddenly stretched out until it was level with his left hand. A viscous liquid dripped down his brand-new arm.

Watchdog stared in disbelief at his arm that had grown back, and subconsciously touched it.

Incredibly delicate, like a baby's skin, with incredibly elastic muscles. With the slightest force, the soft muscles instantly become harder than a rock. In just a few seconds, the newly formed arm had already crushed Ah Zuo, who had been with him for thirty years, and Ah You, who had passed away a few minutes earlier.

“It’s…unbelievable,” Watchi said, staring wide-eyed like a country bumpkin seeing a woman for the first time, stroking his arms back and forth.

There was a large pool of blood on the ground. He knew that the blood came from him. For a normal person, this amount of blood loss would kill them and leave them unable to move. But right now, he felt that he was in very good condition and could even do twenty backflips without stopping.

Of course, the feeling of feeling exceptionally good is secondary.

Most importantly, it is the world he can see.

He seemed to have become the master of the wind, able to see clearly even the slightest breeze that a mere gesture could stir up. He even had a strong intuition that he could change the wind the moment his fingers touched that line.

Just as Woj was lost in his own world and about to try something further, a series of mournful cries came from the air. Woj's expression changed, and he clenched his fists.

All those who had been knocked unconscious woke up; this was the first choice Li Yili left him.

Should he accept the undercover identity to solve the mess in front of him, or simply hand over Li Yili?

When the first guard stumbled into Watch's view, Watch realized what had happened.

Why would he associate with lower beings?

Chapter Seventy: A Midsummer Night's Dream

The next morning, Li Yili was awakened by urgent knocking on the door.

Li Yili lay motionless on the bed, lost in thought.

Annie would never knock like that. With Rebecca's boldness, she would either just barge in or not knock at all.

It's Dante.

Li Yili turned over, not intending to pay attention, but the knocking did not stop, and even grew louder, causing the entire door to shake violently, and some dust was shaken off and sprinkled on Li Yili.

Li Yili's eyes twitched violently. She turned around, got out of bed, put on her coat, and forcefully opened the door. Sure enough, it was Dante knocking on the door.

"What time do you think it is?" Li Yili glanced at the clock hanging on the wall.

It was exactly nine o'clock.

Dante took a deep breath, raised both hands, and grasped Li Yili's right hand.

"Miss Ashley—she replied to me!"

Li Yili was taken aback, then suddenly realized, and her gaze towards Dante became more disdainful. She shook off Dante's hand, closed the door, and walked down the corridor towards the counter. "Is this strange? You wrote her a letter, of course she would write back to you, or is it..."
