Bizarre: Forced into an arranged marriage, his wife turns out to be a demon emperor?

Chapter 36 Sorry, I'll keep the reward for myself.

At this moment, the Supreme Ghost Body within him seemed like a black hole awakening.

A more domineering, more ancient, and more supreme devouring power suddenly erupted.

If the power of the Demon Pearl is like a raging flood or a ferocious beast...

That supreme ghost body is an endless abyss capable of devouring stars and the sea.

That violent energy had no chance to resist the suction of the Supreme Ghost Body. It was frantically pulled, broken down, and transformed into the purest source, merging into Lin Che's limbs and bones.

at the same time.

Outside of the abandoned school.

Within a radius of one kilometer, a long cordon had already been set up.

Dozens of black special vehicles emblazoned with strange emblems surrounded the area.

The "Dragon Sparrow" members, dressed in black combat suits and holding various strange instruments, stared solemnly at the abandoned school building.

This is one of the high-risk areas closely monitored by "Dragon Sparrow," the official paranormal agency of the Xia Kingdom.

Just a few minutes ago.

The energy reaction in this strange domain, which had been stable at Grade A, suddenly surged, breaking through to Grade S and even reaching Grade S.

The level of terror is S-class.

Just as the command center was preparing to activate the highest level of contingency plan and spare no effort to "purify" the area.

That terrifying energy vanished without warning.

It's back to zero.

Then, a bizarre scene unfolded.

The air in the open space in front of the teaching building seemed to distort.

The next second, seventy or eighty students wearing the same school uniform appeared out of thin air and fell to the ground like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

Their faces were deathly pale, their eyes vacant, as if their souls had been ripped out.

"Quickly! Medical team! Check the survivors' conditions!"

A middle-aged man with a silver dragon-sparrow badge slung over his shoulder gave a stern order.

His name is Li Zhen, and he is the on-site commander of this operation.

He looked at the surviving students, then looked up at the huge, blood-red "SSS" mark in the sky. His expression was one of unprecedented shock and confusion.

An SS-level anomaly has been eliminated?

Rating, or SSS?

Who did it?

Which hidden S-level big shot passed by and conveniently eliminated this scourge for the people?

Just when everyone was speculating.

"Boom—"

A loud bang.

The abandoned school building, which served as the anchor point for the eerie domain, could no longer maintain its structure after losing all energy support.

The walls cracked and the floors collapsed.

Amidst countless shocked gazes, the entire building was reduced to a dusty ruin.

Everyone held their breath.

Medical personnel, combat personnel, and even students who had just escaped and were still in shock.

All eyes were fixed on the ruins shrouded in thick smoke.

The smoke and dust slowly dissipated.

A figure gradually came into focus in the center of the ruins.

He was a young man.

He stood amidst the rubble and steel bars, his clothes spotless and his expression serene.

He even had the leisure to straighten his collar.

It was as if the cataclysmic collapse that had just occurred to him was nothing more than an insignificant background performance.

silence.

A deathly silence.

Among the students who escaped from the ghost realm, some recognized him.

It's that man who was strangely served a "special meal" in the cafeteria!

It's him!

Wasn't he eaten by the monster?

How did he end up here?

Moreover, it was completely unharmed!

A single thought, like a bolt of lightning, cleaved through the minds of all the surviving students.

The disappearance of this eerie realm, could it be—

Is it related to him?

Li Zhen looked at Lin Che in the center of the ruins, then at the specially made detector on his wrist, which displayed "0".

"Energy reading," Adam's apple bobbed up and down.

He picked up the walkie-talkie, his voice trembling slightly with excitement and disbelief.

"Command Post — This is Li Zhen."

"Target — confirmed."

"Not some S-class big shot—"

There can only be one person who passes the test.

"he----"

"He is a student."

Smoke and dust filled the air.

Li Zhen's heartbeat and the urgent alarm of the detector on his wrist once reached the same frequency.

The alarm has stopped.

His heart was beating even faster.

In the center of the ruins, there was a young man named Lin Che.

In the database, there is an ordinary student from Jiangcheng University, whose parents are both deceased, and whose file is as clean as a blank sheet of paper.

This blank sheet of paper just now, I personally tore apart an SS-level ghost domain?

The "Dragon Sparrow" team members behind Li Zhen had already aimed more than a dozen specially made "Spirit-Breaking Weapons" at the center of the ruins.

The dark muzzle of the gun flickered with dangerous blue arcs of electricity.

But no one dared to fire.

Because Li Zhen did not give the order.

Furthermore, they were facing a monster that had just achieved an "SSS" level completion rating.

Li Zhen raised his hand, signaling his teammates to keep their distance. He walked alone, stepping on the gravel, toward Lin Che.

Every step he took was exceptionally heavy.

"You—are Lin Che?"

Li Zhen's voice was somewhat hoarse.

He tried to maintain the dignity of the official institution, but faced with the blood-red "SSS" mark hanging in the night sky, any dignity seemed ridiculous.

Lin Che shifted his gaze from his collar to Li Zhen.

He didn't speak, but calmly looked at the middle-aged man in the black combat uniform.

That look in his eyes didn't seem like that of a student looking at an official commander.

It's more like a predator eyeing a prey that has intruded into its territory.

Li Zhen felt a chill run down his spine from looking at him.

He noticed that behind Lin Che stood a woman holding a red umbrella.

Red clothes, red umbrella.

His figure was mostly obscured by the umbrella, appearing and disappearing, yet exuding a terrifying aura that made his soul tremble.

The detector still shows "0".

This terrified him even more than the detector exceeding its limit.

This means that the woman's existence is beyond the comprehension of this cutting-edge instrument.

"According to regulations, all personnel who survive in high-risk, dangerous areas must return with us to undergo investigation and mental health assessment."

Li Zhen braced himself and uttered the official rhetoric.

Lin Che finally spoke.

What if I say no?

His voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable force.

Li Zhen's Adam's apple bobbed.

The young team member behind him was probably a recent addition to the Dragon Sparrow team, full of youthful vigor.

Seeing Lin Che's uncooperative attitude, he couldn't help but step forward and shout sternly, "Insolence! You are obstructing Dragon Sparrow from performing its duties! I warn you—"
