Extraordinary awakening, I can transform into a world-destroying monster

Chapter 270 Jiang Hou Almost Lost Control

"Gone?"

Jiang Hou was stunned as he watched the projection turn into snowflakes.

Then the screen changed, and a purple vortex that was a kilometer high appeared. At the bottom of the vortex was a modern building, half of which disappeared into the vortex.

In the plaza in front of the building, a woman in uniform stands on a dimly lit, futuristic-style radio station.

"I'm sorry, Garrison Commander Jiang, due to force majeure, your communication connection with General Jiang Ruochan has been lost and you are unable to contact her."

"It's alright, accidents happen in places like that." Jiang Hou nodded and hung up the phone.

It was already 5:30, almost time to get off work.

Just then, the landline on Jiang Hou's desk rang, and the receptionist's voice came through: "Minister, you have a package from Longcheng. Would you like it left at the front desk or delivered directly to your office?"

Because of the many different titles and ranks, these people addressed Jiang Hou in various ways.

"Leave it at the front desk, I'll come down and get it later."

"Yes."

The package contained the scriptures that Jiang Hou had bought that morning. As for why he bought them from that particular post, it was because all of these scriptures had annotations by the "Cute-Faced Thief."

These ancient texts cannot be understood simply by recognizing the characters.

Individually, everyone recognizes those characters, but when they are put together, most people are completely clueless.

"General!"

"minister."

In the lobby on the first floor, many off-duty staff members bowed respectfully as they watched Jiang Hou step out of the elevator.

Jiang Hou nodded slightly to them, and then, under the somewhat nervous gaze of the front desk staff, put a large box of express delivery into the storage space.

After getting off work, Jiang Hou didn't take a car, but instead walked slowly along the sidewalk towards home.

But there seemed to be a lot going on today. As soon as Jiang Hou left the base, his phone vibrated slightly. Zong Zheng Nanmo tagged him in the group chat.

"Lord Jiang, where are you now?"

Jiang Hou: "Just got off work, what's up?"

"Hehe, I just finished my club activities too."

This tone gave Jiang Hou the feeling that this guy was a little excited and proud, but at the same time, he was also a little puzzled: "What are you going to school for?"

"Uh... As a senior high school student, it's normal for me to go to school, right?" Zong Zheng Nanmo was a little confused by the question.

Well, Jiang Hou realized it too. He had been so busy lately that he had forgotten about his student status.

At this moment, Zongzheng Nanmo and Jiang Hou shared today's gossip: "Jiang Hou, after I went to school today, many classmates asked me why I didn't go to class."

"These guys used to ignore us, but now they know how to curry favor with this Celestial Master, hehe." Zong Zheng Nanmo was a little smug.

"By the way, Lord Jiang, Li Mengwu also went to school today, but seven boys confessed their feelings to her at different times, and she politely rejected them all."

"You didn't see how eager those 'simps' were, as if they'd miss their chance if they didn't confess their feelings soon."

Jiang Hou simply watched this guy's rant. He knew that even if he didn't reply, Zong Zheng Nanmo could keep talking until all the gossip for the day was finished.

It was rush hour, with heavy traffic on the roads and a dense throng of electric bikes whizzing past on the sidewalks.

Even the sidewalks under the shade of the trees were full of pedestrians. The bustling and lively atmosphere, coupled with the gossip messages that Zongzheng Nanmo kept sending, made Jiang Hou feel inexplicably dazed.

There's a feeling that the ruins, the monsters, the resurrected demons—it's all an illusion.

There are no extraordinary powers in this world, including time travel, rebirth, divine weapons, or transformation into giant beasts; it's all just his fantasy. Fantasy! Jiang Hou's slightly dazed gaze swept over the billboard in front of him.

A billboard atop the building depicts a ferocious beast, below which hangs a promotional tagline for a new movie: "What will you be doing when the apocalypse comes?"

Boom! Jiang Hou's consciousness jolted, his eyes instantly sharpened, radiating a terrifying pressure.

Whoosh! A strong wind surrounded Jiang Hou, his black hair flying wildly, and the aura emanating from his body made the surrounding pedestrians stiffen and their legs tremble.

Fortunately, the aura was fleeting.

After Jiang Hou left, the pedestrians returned to normal, but their faces all showed shock and fear.

At a street intersection in the distance, Jiang Hou, waiting for the traffic light, looked grave. He had almost lost his composure just now. What was the reason?
The evil spirits and resentment that had accumulated in the Yama Demon Blade had been completely wiped out. The pollution from the Dharma Era, much like the distracting thoughts of many people chanting Buddhist scriptures in one's ear, had also weakened by 40% without one realizing it.

I feel that in another ten days or so, the ferocious and tyrannical instincts of the giant beast will be able to devour and erase all these distracting thoughts.

So where did the impact just now come from? From the outside, or from within myself? Jiang Hou's gaze turned serious, realizing for the first time the horror of uncontrolled pollution.

Invisible matter, without any trace, but it can affect consciousness and cause collapse at any time.

No wonder so many seventh, eighth, and even ninth-order demigods eventually went out of control and mutated.

"Lord Jiang, you're back." As soon as Lord Jiang opened the door, the girl who was squatting in front of the sofa turned around upon hearing the voice, a happy smile on her face.

There was a huge pile of snacks on the sofa in front of Qin Siyu.

Seeing the smiling girl, Jiang Hou's gloom instantly dissipated, and he laughed, "Did you coax your classmate to feed Fei Tong again?"

The girl immediately wrinkled her nose: "Hmph!! I didn't coax them this time, they offered to give it to me, saying they had saved it up because I took more than a week off."

Meow~ The white kitten on the sofa armrest protests.

Those snacks were supposed to be for it, but Qin Siyu and Jiang Hou ate them all while watching TV that night.

And it's not interested in those things either.

"Alright." Jiang Hou smiled.

As usual, after eating, some people washed the dishes, and others took a shower.

Seven o'clock

As Qin Siyu, dressed in her pajamas, sat cross-legged on the sofa, turned on the TV, selected a channel, and waited for the brainless drama to start, Jiang Hou also sat down.

"Oh, Lord Jiang, aren't you going to do your work today?" Qin Siyu was a little surprised.

"No rush, it's fine to go later."

As he spoke, Jiang Hou flipped his hand and took out a brand-new sutra, casually asking, "Siyu, where is the TV series plot?"

"You mean a love that transcends the ends of the earth?"

Qin Siyu became excited when this was mentioned, and said with great interest: "Yesterday's plot was that Long Ao came to the Demon Sea and rescued Bai Susu. He unexpectedly met his grandfather whom he had never met before, and then they recognized each other."

"Wait, if Long Ao and my grandfather have never met, how did they recognize each other?" Jiang Hou was a little confused.

"It's very simple. Long Ao looks exactly like his mother, and his grandfather, who is a very wealthy man, recognized him at a glance."

Is this even allowed? Do these screenwriters think the audience is stupid? Jiang Hou was speechless and complained, but after complaining, he felt an even stronger sense of déjà vu about the plot.

It was highly similar to what happened when he went to the Demon Sea.

The editor of this TV series seems to know him, or even be an acquaintance, otherwise they wouldn't be so familiar with what he's been through lately.

Lord Jiang seemed to be deep in thought.
