I'm only three years old, how could it be a world-ending catastrophe?

[Ominous!]

A genuine, SS-level bizarre item!

It has only one ability, but it is incredibly domineering and terrifying.

Soul search!

Once enveloped by its black mist, no superhuman below S-rank can resist and all their memories and thoughts will be forcibly read from their minds!

Wu Ya's heart sank to the bottom.

She wanted to rebel, she wanted to escape.

However, within this black mist, she felt as if the extraordinary power within her body had been completely frozen, making it impossible to mobilize even a fraction of it.

She could only watch helplessly as the black mist seeped into her body little by little, entwining her soul.

"tell me."

The commander's voice rang out from the black mist, carrying an unquestionable authority.

"What else happened during your trip to Dongzhou City?"

"My good-for-nothing nephew, Zhou Hao... who exactly killed him?"

The commander's voice was calm.

Although Wu Ya's report just now detailed all of Zhou Hao's crimes, it only briefly mentioned Zhou Hao's death, saying that it was an accident.

Si Tong knew she was lying.

She wanted to protect the person who killed Zhou Hao.

However, in the face of his [obscurity], no secret can hide.

Within the black mist, Wu Ya's body began to tremble violently.

Her eyes began to glaze over.

But she still bit her lip hard, until it bled, trying to use the pain to maintain her last bit of clarity.

She can't tell!

You absolutely must not tell anyone about Jiang Luo!

She's pretty much figured it out.

Once the Zhou family finds out that Jiang Luo killed Zhou Hao, given their style of doing things, they will definitely not let it go!

At that time, not only will Jiang Luo be in great danger.

Even the entire Dongzhou City, and even the entire human world, could be plunged into an unpredictable disaster because of this!

She guarded this secret tightly; it was her last line of defense.

however……

Faced with the domineering power of the SS-level bizarre item [Dark Pendant], the willpower of an S-level superhuman appeared so fragile and vulnerable.

Only a dozen seconds passed.

Wu Ya's eyes completely lost focus and became empty.

Her mouth opened uncontrollably.

She recounted all her experiences in Dongzhou City, from the first time she met Jiang Luo to her final departure...

He recounted everything in detail, down to the smallest detail.

The black mist slowly dissipated.

The office was lit again.

The boss leaned back in his large chair, a playful smile on his face.

"Jiang Luo?"

"A three-year-old child possessing unheard-of, mysterious powers?"

"Even a super SS-level calamity can be easily eliminated?"

"And, she's also closely related to the newly awakened sacrificers as siblings?"

"What's most interesting is that he can actually absorb the power of calamity, and even... purify those corrupted by calamity?"

Commander Zhou Hongye couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He had thought it was just a simple script for avenging his nephew.

Unexpectedly, there were so many interesting things hidden behind the scenes.

A living, breathing, and perfectly suited experimental subject, brimming with unknown power!

This is much more interesting than avenging that good-for-nothing Zhou Hao!

The black fog completely dissipated.

Wu Ya was panting heavily, her head covered in cold sweat.

The aftereffects of the soul-searching gave her a terrible headache.

But what tormented her even more than the physical pain was that she ultimately failed to keep the secret.

She told Zhou Hongye everything.

She personally pushed that child into the most dangerous abyss.

Wu Ya raised her head, her eyes bloodshot.

She gritted her teeth and, with all her might, issued a final warning to the man behind the desk.

"Commander Zhou, you'd better not touch that child!"

"His power far exceeds your imagination! He poses no threat to humanity whatsoever; on the contrary, he may very well be our greatest asset in the fight against calamity!"

"His power can purify those corrupted by calamity! Zhao Haidong can attest to this! We saw with our own eyes that he saved Li Zheng, who was deeply corrupted by the [Mirror Nightmare]!"

"You know better than I what this ability means to our Extraordinary Bureau and to humanity as a whole!"

"His value far surpasses that of your good-for-nothing nephew Zhou Hao!"

"If you insist on going your own way and force him to our opposite side, it will not only be a great loss to humanity, but more likely... it will lead to self-destruction!"

"More importantly!"

Wu Ya's voice became hoarse with excitement, "Beside him is that sacrificer! Lu Yao's feelings for him are deeper than those between siblings! If you touch Jiang Luo, she will absolutely stop at nothing to become our enemy!"

"A sacrificer willing to destroy the entire world for him! Can you bear the consequences? Can your Zhou family bear them?!"

Wu Ya practically shouted these words.

She hoped that by using these stakes, she could make Zhou Hongye hesitate and abandon that dangerous idea.

however.

Zhou Hongye showed no reaction on his face after hearing this.

He looked at Wu Ya and suddenly let out a cold laugh.

"Oh……"

The laughter was soft, yet it was heartbreaking.

"Wu Ya, Wu Ya, I really underestimated you."

Zhou Hongye slowly stood up, walked around the large desk, and stood in front of Wu Ya.

He looked down at her from his superior position.

"You've only been in Dongzhou City for a few days, and you're already so interested in something that seems like a calamity?"

"It seems..."

Zhou Hongye's voice turned cold.

"You've been contaminated by that stuff too."

Wu Ya's eyes widened slightly.

She understood what Zhou Hongye meant.

He wanted to... kill himself!

"you……"

Wu Ya was about to speak, about to mobilize the supernatural power that she had finally managed to recover.

However, it's too late.

Zhou Hongye's hands moved very quickly.

He simply put his fingers together and casually made a stroke across Wu Ya's neck.

It was just a casual thing.

Wu Ya stopped talking and moving.

Her eyes were wide open.

A thin line of blood appeared on her neck.

Followed by.

puff!

Blood spurted out immediately.

Wu Ya's body went limp and twitched twice on the floor before falling still.

Zhou Hongye didn't even glance at the corpse on the ground.

He took a handkerchief out of his pocket, carefully wiped his hands of blood that wasn't even there, and then casually threw the handkerchief onto Wu Ya's corpse.

After doing all this, he turned around and walked back to his desk, picking up the internal communication phone.

"Pass the word down."

"All combat personnel of S rank and above from the Provincial Bureau, assemble immediately in the plaza downstairs."

"Target: Dongzhou City."

The person on the other end of the phone seemed confused by the order and hesitantly asked, "Commander, is...is there some kind of urgent mission?"

Zhou Hongye's face broke into that somewhat amusing smile again.

"Just follow my orders!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

He didn't take the boy named Jiang Luo seriously at all.

Even if a three-year-old child has some strange or powerful strength, how strong can he be?

As for the so-called sacrifice that Wu Ya ultimately used to threaten him...

Zhou Hongye found it ridiculous.

Others may not know.

But as a direct descendant of the Zhou family in this generation, and the highest-ranking official of the Extraordinary Bureau of Nanjiang Province, he knew better than anyone a secret that had been passed down for six hundred years.

Legend has it that those who offer sacrifices can defy fate and change their destiny.

They also said they were humanity's last hope in the face of an apocalyptic catastrophe.

Each appearance of this phenomenon foreshadows a new catastrophe about to strike...

These……

It's all fake!

The incident involving the "Lord of Nothingness" back then...

It was all a scam!

As for the sacrificers...

But their abilities are not as exaggerated as the legends suggest.

Their most powerful method is simply to sacrifice their own lives to provide someone with a temporary power boost!

Therefore, a non-existent catastrophe of world destruction, and a sacrificial being whose abilities are exaggerated to the heavens.

These two cards might fool outsiders.

Did you intend to use this to threaten him?

dream.

Zhou Hongye walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down at the Supernatural Bureau team members who were rapidly assembling in the square below. His smile deepened.

Jiangluo...

A perfect, yet unknown, experimental subject.

He can't wait any longer!

I want to drag you into my lab, carefully, inch by inch...

Let's cut it open and take a look!
