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

"Revenge?"

Upon hearing those two words, Jiang Luo chuckled softly.

He looked up, and a creepy smile suddenly appeared on his little face.

"I'll do it even without you telling me!"

This……

It's not just for Zhao Haidong and his group!

more importantly……

It was just a little bit short.

It was just a tiny bit off, that little nose...

That annoying little nose that followed him around all day, yet was also adorably silly, was gone!

The thought of Xu Niannian lying in a pool of blood, forcing a smile at him, made Jiang Luo's heart feel like it was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, causing him pain so intense he could hardly breathe.

He absolutely will not allow this to happen again!

That damned commander.

That damn Zhou family.

They all have to pay the price.

They... must disappear from this world completely!

An intense killing intent, almost tangible, emanated from Jiang Luo's small body, causing the surrounding air to freeze.

Looking at the child before him, feeling the murderous aura that made his soul tremble, Li Zheng slowly revealed a relieved smile on his face.

He knew he had made the right bet.

Director Zhao, Qu Feng, and all those brothers who died...

Your revenge can be taken.

"When do you plan to leave for the provincial capital?" Li Zheng composed himself, his voice regaining its usual calmness.

Jiang Luo didn't answer immediately. Instead, she tilted her head up and asked an unrelated question.

"What time is it now?"

Although Li Zheng was somewhat puzzled, he still glanced at the tactical watch on his wrist and honestly replied, "11:18 PM."

Jiang Luo did a quick mental calculation.

"Let's do it in an hour then."

Both his sister's and Niannian's treatments will take time, and he needs to wait for preliminary results before he can leave with peace of mind.

Moreover, it will be midnight in 42 minutes.

As is customary, it seems his unreliable system should be settling accounts daily.

So many earth-shattering events have happened today, so the rewards for settling down shouldn't be too bad!

even if……

His current strength is more than enough.

But who would complain about having more power?

Upon hearing Jiang Luo's answer, Li Zheng nodded and did not ask any further questions.

In his view, it was perfectly normal for someone of Jiang Luo's caliber to need some preparation time before taking action.

"Okay, then let me know whenever you need to leave."

Li Zheng said, "Our Dongzhou City Extraordinary Bureau has an emergency spatial teleportation channel that goes directly to the provincial capital headquarters, allowing you to arrive in the provincial capital in the shortest possible time."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Luo's eyes.

There are such good things?

That saved a lot of trouble.

He nodded, which was considered an agreement.

Then, an eerie silence fell over the testing room.

Li Zheng leaned against the wall, closed his eyes to rest, seemingly trying to calm his turbulent emotions.

Jiang Luo found an empty seat and sat down, her small body curled up in the chair, her gaze fixed on the temporary first aid area separated by a screen, without moving.

Time passed, second by second.

Just then.

A thought suddenly echoed in Jiang Luo's mind.

My lord, the situation has changed... Please come immediately!

This is... Jiahao's voice!

Did something happen to my sister?

Jiang Luo's heart sank suddenly.

Without even saying hello to anyone, he immediately got up and, with his short legs, rushed quickly towards Lu Yao's ward.

The corridor, which was only a few dozen meters long, felt to him as long as an eternity.

With a "bang," he pushed open the hospital room door that wasn't fully closed.

In the ward.

The ghost child was faithfully floating in mid-air when it saw Jiang Luo enter, and it quickly floated over to claim credit.

"Dad, don't worry, I've been guarding this place the whole time, and I haven't let a single fly in!"

Jiang Luo completely ignored it.

His gaze was fixed intently on the hospital bed.

Jiahao's enormous golden dragon body no longer emitted light, but instead quietly coiled above Lu Yao, seemingly ceasing its treatment.

On the hospital bed, Lu Yao lay quietly. On the screens of the life support equipment, the data that had been stabilizing began to show slight, unstable fluctuations again.

"Jiahao, what happened?"

Jiang Luo tilted her head back, her voice trembling slightly, without her even realizing it.

Jiahao, hovering in mid-air, let out a low, remorseful dragon roar.

Immediately, a complex thought entered Jiang Luo's mind.

My Lord, I... underestimated the severity of my sister's loss of her life essence.

Her life force was almost completely burned away in that sacrifice. With my current power, although I can replenish a large amount of her life force, it is still far from enough to fully restore her...

Jiahao's mind was filled with deep self-reproach.

It thought that its power was sufficient after its master devoured the SSS-level [Mirror Nightmare].

However, it did not expect that the extent to which the sacrificial victim's life was lost would far exceed its imagination.

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Luo's mind raced.

He quickly understood what Jiahao meant.

Simply put, it means there's not enough power?

"so……"

Jiang Luo raised her head and looked at Jiahao in the air.

"I need to continue 'feeding' you to make you stronger so that... I can completely save my sister, right?"

[…probably, yes.]

Jiahao's answer was somewhat uncertain, but it was the only option at the moment.

Jiang Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just about consuming more calamities!

That makes things much easier!

"How is my sister doing now?" Jiang Luo suppressed his thoughts and asked the question he was most concerned about.

[Rest assured, my lord. With this machine maintaining her basic vital signs, and with the large amount of life essence I have supplied, her life will no longer be in any danger for the time being.]

Hearing this, Jiang Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's fine as long as nothing happens in the short term.

As long as people are alive, there's always a way.

"Okay, I understand. You can come back now."

Jiang Luo said to Jiahao.

Jiahao let out a low roar, and his massive dragon body transformed into a golden light, disappearing back into his right eye.

Jiang Luo closed the ward door, turned around and repeated the previous command to the ghost child floating to the side.

"You, continue to stay here."

"Yes, Dad!"

The ghostly child nodded his head vigorously, his tone extremely obsequious, "Father, you can rest assured! As your most loyal ghostly son, I will definitely complete the mission to the death! Anyone who dares to approach this ward, I'll eat them first!"

Jiang Luo ignored the drama queen and turned back to the testing room of the [Abyss Watcher].

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Li Zheng standing at the door with a worried look on his face.

"Jiang Luo, Miss Lu Yao, she..."

"It's alright," Jiang Luo interrupted him calmly. "The situation has stabilized."

Upon hearing this, Li Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as Jiang Luo sat down again to wait for the treatment results from Nian Nian, a cold, mechanical voice suddenly rang in his ears.

This is……

It's midnight!

System settlement...

Arrived!
