He feigned madness for eighteen years, all for the power of a god.

......

Two figures had just arrived downstairs in Chenguang Residential Area.

It was the two law enforcement team members who were heading in that direction.

The two had only taken a few steps.

Suddenly, he stopped walking.

Zhao He felt an unusual chill.

He raised his head and looked up at the sky.

The night sky, which should have been dotted with a few stars, now seemed to be covered with a layer of gray gauze.

It presents an eerie, lifeless leaden gray color.

The surrounding buildings, streets, and even the air seemed to have lost their original colors, shrouded in a light gray.

Zhao He's expression changed instantly.

"Oh no, we've entered the 'gray world' again."

Zhao He's voice was very low, carrying a hint of barely perceptible solemnity.

Li Feng, a burly man standing to the side, looked at the gray surroundings, and his expression also turned grim:

"Damn it, what bad luck! I usually only see them once a month, but today I saw two of them at once!"

The gray world is a projection of an inner world.

Only when something "grotesque" occurs will a portion of the real world be covered.

In those few short seconds of their conversation.

A swift black figure suddenly darted out from the shadows at the street corner.

It rushed toward the unfinished building in front of them at a speed that was almost impossible to detect with the naked eye!

The figure's form was extremely bizarre, like a flowing mass of darkness.

Its limbs were twisted, and its running posture was completely inconsistent with human kinesiology.

"It's grotesque and bizarre!"

Both of their pupils contracted simultaneously.

In their understanding, the bizarre is also divided into different levels.

And "distorted and bizarre".

It is undoubtedly one of the most troublesome and dangerous types.

They often possess more bizarre abilities and strengths far exceeding those of ordinary, grotesque creatures.

However, what made their hearts sink even more was...

The moment they saw the grotesque and deformed creature, the black figure that was running at high speed suddenly stopped and turned its head away.

On that pitch-black face, two points of scarlet light pierced the darkness and precisely locked onto the two of them.

It was discovered!

This glance simultaneously filled Zhao He and Li Feng with an ominous premonition.

The next moment, a scene that sent chills down their spines unfolded before the mutated monster appeared.

The grotesque body, like a reflection in water, shook violently.

Immediately afterwards, two identical black figures "separated" from its main body.

Like arrows released from a bow, they hurtled towards Zhao He and Li Feng respectively!

The bizarre creature, without stopping or changing direction, plunged headfirst into the dark entrance of the abandoned building!

"Holy crap, this thing even has the ability to create clones!" Zhao He roared, his previous composure gone.

As he quickly pulled a pistol from his back waist, he shouted to Li Feng beside him:

"One person, one of them, and finish this quickly! That kid's still upstairs; don't let the main body kill him, or we'll have come all this way for nothing!"

"clear!"

Li Feng roared, his already tight law enforcement uniform buckling.

The muscles, stretched by the sudden expansion, made a series of "crackling" tearing sounds.

He crossed his arms in front of him to protect himself, and directly met one of the black figures that lunged at him.

……

On the other side, on the third floor of the unfinished building.

Bai Ye could already hear the increasingly approaching, heart-pounding footsteps.

He took a deep breath, lowered his body slightly, and stared intently at the end of the corridor.

The power within him surged wildly, like boiling water.

coming!

Less than ten seconds.

A bizarre figure, entirely black with twisted limbs, appeared at the corner of the corridor, facing Bai Ye from afar.

On that faceless face, two crimson lights radiated an aura of savagery and slaughter, locking onto Bai Ye with unwavering focus.

The moment it saw Bai Ye, the grotesque creature showed no hesitation or hesitation.

Its body suddenly leaned forward, its limbs touching the ground, like a cheetah hunting its prey, transforming into a black lightning bolt as it pounced straight at the enemy!

It moved so fast that it left a series of afterimages in the air.

Faced with this deadly attack, Bai Ye's eyes remained eerily calm.

Just as that grotesque creature was about to pounce on him.

hum-

An invisible force, unseen by the naked eye, instantly spread out from Bai Ye as the center.

The grotesque creature that was charging at high speed suddenly halted its forward momentum.

It seemed to sense something, and for the first time, a hint of confusion appeared in its scarlet eyes.

The next moment, something unexpected happened!

"Snap!"

A crisp, teeth-grinding crack of bone broke, sounding particularly jarring in the silent corridor.

All that could be seen was that bizarre left foreleg, which was lying there without any external force acting on it.

Suddenly, at an extremely bizarre angle, it folded backward... in half!

Like a tree branch that has been forcibly broken off, the stark white bone fragments even pierce its dark "skin," exposed to the air.

"hiss--!"

The monster let out a sharp, inhuman screech.

The intense pain caused it to lose its balance instantly, and its massive body collapsed with a "thud".

It crashed heavily to the ground, slid all the way, and finally stopped at Bai Ye's feet.

It struggled to get up, but its broken leg became a fatal burden.

At this moment, Bai Ye's eyes also changed.

His pupils, without his noticing, had turned into a pure, abyssal black.

Within that blackness, countless tiny vortexes seemed to be slowly rotating, emanating a chilling and ominous aura.

This is a side effect that occurs when he uses the "Twisted Shadow" ability.

He looked down at the black shadowy figure struggling in agony on the ground, his face expressionless.

"Are you rushing over here to your death?"

.....

boom!

With a loud bang, a black figure fell to the ground.

The clone in front of Zhao He was dealt with.

He looked to the other side and saw that his companions had also been dealt with.

Both of them collapsed to the ground, exhausted and panting heavily.

"Damn it... finally... finally it's over." Li Feng wiped the sweat and blood from his face and said with lingering fear.

Zhao He leaned against the wall, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it with trembling hands, but didn't smoke it, just letting the smoke swirl around him.

"Just two clones have made us so disheveled..."

He glanced at the dissipating black fragments on the ground, his voice slightly hoarse:

"This bizarre entity is probably even more powerful than we imagined."

Li Feng kicked a black fragment at his feet, and the fragment turned into ashes at his feet.

He frowned, scrutinized the object for a long time, and then his expression suddenly turned rather unpleasant.

"Brother Zhao, I remember now... This thing should be the mutated 'Witness'."

"Witness?" Zhao He repeated the name.

"Yes." Li Feng nodded and added:

"A very rare and grotesque mutation. Its ability is unique: once it witnesses killing someone, all the witnesses will become its next target."

"Moreover, it generates a corresponding number of clones based on the number of witnesses."

"The clone possesses a portion of the original's strength, making it extremely difficult to deal with."

Upon hearing this, Zhao He's expression darkened.

The two of them had already exerted all their strength to deal with the two clones, and they were even injured.

And that kid upstairs named Bai Ye...

He was all alone, facing this bizarre entity!

A newly awakened individual, unaware of even the basic rules of the Extraordinary World, faces a powerful, grotesque, and monstrous entity...

The result is predictable.

Zhao He's face was so gloomy it looked like it could drip water.

They went through so much trouble to finally find a "good product" with huge potential.

Before they could even "receive" their goods, they were "hijacked" by other bizarre creatures.

The bamboo basket was empty.

"Let's go up and take a look." Zhao He stubbed out his cigarette and struggled to his feet.

"I want to see him alive or dead."

"Besides, what if that kid is still alive?"

The two supported each other as they walked into the dark, unfinished building.

Traces of a battle still remain in the stairwell.

They carefully made their way up the stairs.

As they reached the corner of the stairs on the second and a half floor, they suddenly heard hurried footsteps coming from upstairs.

That sound...like someone running away?

Zhao He and Li Feng exchanged a glance, both assuming that Bai Ye had miraculously survived and was being hunted down by the strange creature.

The two immediately quickened their pace and rushed up to the third floor.

However, when they saw the scene in the third-floor corridor, both of them froze on the spot, their expressions instantly freezing.

The scene they had envisioned—Bai Ye being chased and fleeing in a sorry state—did not occur.

Some did indeed escape.

But the one that escaped... turned out to be that black, grotesque monster!

At this moment, that grotesque leg was twisted in a bizarre posture.

His other arm hung limply, clearly broken.

It could only use its remaining hand and foot to crawl forward awkwardly on the ground.

His posture was as miserable as could be, showing no trace of his fierce demeanor from before.

Upon witnessing this scene, Zhao He and Li Feng's minds were completely thrown into chaos.

What... what's going on here?

Before they could even comprehend the situation at hand.

The next moment, the grotesque body was gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand and then twisted violently!

puff!

A chilling thud.

The grotesque body was instantly twisted into a pretzel, filled with large amounts of black blood and unidentified tissue.

It exploded from its body, spraying water all over the walls and ceiling.

It didn't even have time to let out a scream before it was completely turned into a twisted corpse.

With the death of the grotesque entity, the faint gray shrouding the surroundings receded rapidly like the tide.

The night regained its original depth.

The corridor fell silent once again.

Footsteps were heard from the darkness behind them.

The two immediately became more alert.

They weren't sure what kind of monster was capable of torturing and killing this grotesque and deformed creature.
