Chapter 581 Demon Seed!

Yu Zhizhi suddenly heard a "sneer". She looked up and saw that the mutated creatures had surrounded her. In the blink of an eye, a giant mutated crow swooped down from the sky. Before she could even summon her spirit, a hurricane pushed her body backward and staggered a few steps.

The young man with the earring closest to her, Bai Su, quickly grabbed her arm and helped her to her feet.

The crow, as large as a small airplane, spread its thick, inky wings and stared intently at the bright eyes of the rabbit-eared girl on the ground, like dazzling jewels. It longed to peck them away!

The mutated crow suddenly became very excited—

The official livestream platform has confirmed its identity:

[Crow, advanced mutant, danger level four stars!]

Yu Zhizhi was somewhat confused. She looked around and saw that the fireworks factory not far away resembled a lurking beast in the darkness, watching the battle unfolding in its territory with predatory eyes.

"Someone, someone is laughing?" Yu Zhizhi felt her throat tighten and goosebumps rise on her back.

The voice was neither male nor female, nor human, and seemed to come from a very distant place.

The young man with the earring slashed at the attacking crow with his knife, the blade tearing through its sharp feathers, and dark blood flowed down like rain.

He quickly glanced at the girl he was protecting: "What?"

Yu Zhizhi: "Did you hear laughter?"

"No!" Bai Su turned the hilt of his sword to face the crow's next attack and thrust it forward—

This time, it hit the heart!

Using his tarot companion, he noticed that Yu Zhizhi's complexion was a bit off, so he leaned closer and asked, "Little Yu, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Some viewers in the live stream chat started making sarcastic remarks.

[So weak! Can't even summon an elf!]

She must have been terrified, haha!

[Can you guys stop making sarcastic remarks? Her first mission was this difficult; the fact that she could even stand up is already quite impressive!!]

At the moment when Crow was stabbed to death by the young man with the earring, Yu Zhizhi heard "that person's" laughter again.

But it seemed that only she heard it.

Bai Su had just dealt with a high-level mutant, and before he could even wipe his knife, he was forced to continue fighting!
Under the gaze of the tarot card reader, Yu Zhizhi slowly shook her head: "I'm fine."

She felt a fluctuation in her spiritual energy, and her attempt to form a hand seal with her fingers slightly stiffened.

Just like that inexplicable laughter, she realized that her mental energy was being affected by something, swaying back and forth, which made it impossible for her to use it reliably.

“Mental strength… is blocked…” Yu Zhizhi murmured.

The Tarot reader didn't quite understand what he meant when he heard those words, but the situation was urgent and he didn't have time to chat. He could only do his best to use the space-type cards to protect the rabbit girl and prevent her from getting hurt.

From the moment Captain Lin received Tang Shen's call, they understood that the next mission was not only about the C20 area, but also about protecting this new superhuman who was taking on his first mission!
The chat in the live stream was filled with all sorts of comments.

Many people eagerly awaited her summoning of the spirits, only to be greatly disappointed when they did not see her do so.

Some complained, some laughed.

Yu Zhizhi is a newly registered superpowered individual with little fame and no one to support her. Only Tang Luoke's fans, out of affection for her, are speaking up for her.

Besides that, there's Qin Yin banging on the phone screen like crazy!
The short-haired girl was taking on ten people single-handedly in the live stream's comment section. She hated those who talked without understanding the situation—

Please! People with superpowers risk their lives to carry out missions!!
What's wrong with Zhizhi? Summoning spirits already takes a long time to cast, she needs time!!

While the argument was still going on in the live stream, everyone suddenly noticed that several people on the front lines of the battle were experiencing varying degrees of "lag".

The most obvious one is the white mech that's over two meters tall on the field!
Its movements became sluggish, and the girl piloting it inside changed her expression. She exclaimed, "Captain! Something's wrong with me! My mental energy is rapidly draining away, and I'm about to lose control of the mecha!"

She had barely finished speaking when she saw the young man with the earring in the Star Squad, a knife stuck in the mutated creature's body, which he couldn't pull out no matter what he did...

On the field, most of the mutants were killed!

Even those two top-tier mutants were each taken down by Lin Xingchen and Nightingale!
Lin Xingchen had just finished a fight; sweat soaked his short hair. He was panting as he wrapped bandages around his bloodied fist.

Although the mutated creatures had been mostly eliminated, Lin Xingchen could clearly sense that his mental energy was being consumed too rapidly. Without hesitation, he immediately ordered, "Go! Get in the car and leave!"

The mission in area C20 can be performed multiple times.

Let's finish dealing with the mutants today.

We'll come back tomorrow to investigate the inside of the fireworks factory!
Bai Su nodded, and being the closest to the car, he sat directly in the driver's seat, stepped on the gas, and came to Yu Zhizhi: "Zhizhi, get in the car!"

Nightingale's right arm transformed back into a human arm from a halberd. His eyes were red, whether from the recent battle or from the silver-haired youth's death from infection before his eyes was unclear...

The girl landed, her mecha vanished, and she grabbed Nightingale's arm, pulling him toward the car.

"It's too late." The young man in the Starry Sky Squad, who was playing the tarot cards, noticed the floating tarot cards in front of him disappearing one by one. A look of shock flashed in his eyes. He then turned to look at Yu Zhizhi beside him. "You...you said before that your mental power was blocked?"

The girl said those words a long time ago.

In other words, so long ago, she was the only one among a group of superhumans who sensed it?
Her keen insight in this regard even surpassed that of the two battle-hardened captains…

And the viewers in the live stream also noticed this!
The trend of bullet comments has shifted.

[She just asked if anyone heard laughter; could there really be other people there?]

[Hiss—Sector C20 is terrifying! Remember that white-haired man? He died way too quickly!]

This elf master has something special about him...

What's this called? Insight? Or intuition?

The young man with the earring, sitting in the driver's seat, noticed that the car seemed to be controlled by some force, and the engine suddenly shut off.

He was a little dazed, and turned to look out the car window—

what happened? ?
Yu Zhizhi thought of the prompts she received when she accepted the mission.

Besides clearing out the mutated species in Zone C20, there's another task... purifying the demonic seeds?
"A demonic seed!" she suddenly exclaimed. "There's a demonic seed in the factory!"

Above the mutants, species that have adapted to infection and evolved into bizarre humanoid forms and supernatural powers are called demonic species!
Yu Zhizhi had seen written descriptions of these things online.

There are also some video recordings.

So, the laughter she heard before all came from that demonic seed?
Just as she finished speaking, a sharp laugh came from inside the factory.

Now, everyone in the stadium heard it!
"Hahaha~ You only just noticed me? You guys are so slow!"
