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

Yan Feng issued the order.

One of the team members took a briefcase-like device from behind his back. When he opened it, there was something that looked like a handheld scanner inside.

"Captain, this..." The team member called Number Seven hesitated, "He looks like an ordinary person..."

"Execute the order!" Yan Feng's voice left no room for argument.

"yes!"

Number Seven carried the instrument and walked towards Lin Che.

Lin Che looked up at the blue-glowing instrument aimed at him, his eyes filled with fear and confusion.

"What...what is this?"

"Don't be nervous, it's just a routine check to make sure you haven't been corrupted by some strange energy," Number Seven explained in as gentle a tone as possible.

The instrument's probe slowly swept across Lin Che's body.

from head to foot.

On the instrument screen, a horizontal line representing energy fluctuations remained consistently stable, staying within the lowest green safety zone.

[Psionic Entropy Value: 0.01]

[Vital signs: Healthy]

Energy contamination level: None

[Conclusion: Standard Human]

As he looked at the data that popped up on the screen, Number Seven's eyes slowly widened.

He held up the instrument and scanned Lin Che again.

The result was exactly the same.

"team leader……"

Number Seven's voice changed, and he turned the instrument screen towards Yan Feng.

Yan Feng's expression froze as he looked at the conclusion "standard human".

This is impossible!

The "Dragon Group's" psychic entropy detector is currently the most advanced technological creation. Even an S-class monster disguised as a human will show abnormal entropy fluctuations.

But the data on Lin Che in front of us is even "cleaner" than that of the most ordinary clerk in the base.

There are only two possibilities.

First, he really is just an ordinary person with incredibly good luck.

Secondly, that bizarre level is so high that it can completely ignore the detection of this instrument.

If it's the latter...

Yan Feng dared not think any further.

That means that their team had been under the enemy's "watchful eye" ever since they stepped into this blood mist.

The other side wanted them dead, and they didn't even have a chance to react.

"Captain, the outer monitoring station reports that the energy fluctuations in the target area began to drop sharply five minutes ago, and have now fallen below level A, and are still weakening."

"It looks like... that big guy is gone."

The new information coming through the communicator eased Yan Feng's heavy heart a little.

have they gone?

He glanced at Lin Che, who was crouching on the ground, trembling.

Perhaps, after that SSS-level anomaly completed the "ritual" and felt "satisfied," it left this place.

This young man, as the "groom," was treated as a "marker" or "possession" and stayed behind, which is why he wasn't harmed.

This inference can explain all the doubts.

Yan Feng's tense body finally relaxed a little.

"Alright, you're safe now."

He walked up to Lin Che and put away his weapon.

"We will take you away from this place."

Lin Che slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with relief and gratitude for surviving the ordeal. He moved his lips as if to say something, but in the end he just nodded emphatically.

"Thank you... thank you all..."

"Organize your equipment and prepare for evacuation. Numbers Two and Three, remain on alert."

Yan Feng issued new instructions, changing the mission objective from "reconnaissance and assessment" to "survivor rescue".

"yes!"

The team members responded in unison.

The oppressive atmosphere immediately eased considerably, and two team members even came over, patted Lin Che on the shoulder, and offered a few words of comfort.

Lin Che lowered his head, looking extremely grateful.

But from an angle unseen by others, the corners of his mouth silently curved upwards.

He knew he had made the right bet.

It's far safer to latch onto the coattails of the state than to be a "wicked villain" wanted by the entire world.

Especially in the early stages when his wife still needed him to "feed" her.

A victim, the sole survivor of an SSS-level bizarre incident.

This identity is practically the perfect talisman.

........

The heavy armored personnel carriers carved a path through the blood mist.

The wheels crunched over the sticky ground, making a teeth-grinding "squeak" sound.

Lin Che was seated at the very back of the carriage, next to two Dragon Group members who were fully focused, their guns pointed outwards, on high alert at all times.

The atmosphere inside the carriage was very oppressive.

Yan Feng sat opposite Lin Che, having removed his hideous mask to reveal a scarred, angular face.

His eyes, like those of an eagle, remained fixed on Lin Che, as if trying to see through him inside and out.

"Lin Che, a junior at Jiangcheng University, has a simple social life. His parents died early, and he only has a second uncle in the countryside."

Yan Feng's voice was devoid of any emotion, as if he were reciting a file.

"We have retrieved your information. It basically matches what you said."

Lin Che hugged his knees, huddled in the corner, head down, and did not respond.

He was still playing the role of the overly frightened survivor.

"You've probably noticed it too: the world has changed."

Yan Feng didn't press further about Fengmen Village, but instead changed the subject.

"At the same time that your village was in trouble, similar 'anomalies' appeared all over the world. We call it the arrival of the supernatural."

Lin Che's body trembled slightly, and he slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with just the right amount of confusion and fear.

"Something... has descended?"

"Yes." Yan Feng nodded. "You can think of it as beings from another dimension invading our world. They have no physical form, feed on fear and resentment, and possess various abilities that cannot be explained by science."

"The city's order is collapsing. Our 'Dragon Group,' along with similar organizations in other countries, are working hard to establish 'safe zones' and gather survivors."

Yan Feng looked at him and continued, "As the sole survivor of an SSS-level incident, you have extremely high research value. We will take you back to the safe zone in Jiangcheng, where you will receive the best protection and psychological counseling."

"Research...value?"

Lin Che seized on that word, his voice trembling slightly, "Are you... going to use me as a guinea pig?"

"No," Yan Feng shook his head, "It's protection. You might have that strange SSS-level 'mark' on you, which is both dangerous and potentially a form of protection. We need to figure out why it spared you."

Lin Che lowered his head and twisted his hands together.

He knew that the other party did not fully trust him.

The so-called "protection" is more of a "surveillance".

Just then, the armored vehicle jolted violently and came to a stop.

Inside the carriage, the red warning lights flashed silently.

"Report to the captain! A high concentration of Yin energy has been detected 30 meters ahead! Energy level... Grade B!"

The driver's voice was urgent.

"Attention all units! Enter combat mode! Activate the 'Sunfire' field!"

At Yan Feng's command, countless silver runes lit up on the armored vehicle's exterior, and a layer of pale golden light enveloped the entire vehicle.

The temperature inside the carriage was dropping at an eerie rate.

A chilling, bone-deep coldness appeared out of nowhere and crept up the person's spine.

Lin Che shivered; he felt as if his blood was about to freeze.

But Su Hongyi, who was beside him, made a move.

Those empty eyes turned to a certain direction outside the car window.

A cold thought, tinged with a hint of grievance and longing, resounded directly in Lin Che's mind.

[My dear husband, I'm hungry.]
