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

However, Zhou Hongye was only stunned for less than a second before he suddenly broke into an incredibly crazy smile.

He looked at Jiang Luo, but his eyes showed no fear whatsoever; instead, they burned with an even more intense and greedy flame.

"What a surprise...this is such a huge surprise..."

Such a thing...

Only someone like him deserves to invest so much in in-depth research and anatomy!

"I admit, I underestimated you."

"but……"

Zhou Hongye grinned maliciously.

"Little one, you really are special."

"But the game... is only just beginning!"

The moment he finished speaking, Zhou Hongye suddenly pulled three things out of his crisp Zhongshan suit.

Wang Chao, who was standing behind Jiang Luo, suddenly had his pupils contract and his face drain of color the moment he saw those three things!

That's nothing else!

Those were three items...

SSS-level bizarre item!

【The withered hand puppet】!

Toe-separating wooden comb!

【Eternal Pain Wooden Plaque】!

Three items!

Three bizarre SSS-level items!

Wang Chao felt a chill run down his spine.

He couldn't imagine that anyone in this world could possess three bizarre SSS-level items at the same time!

That's simply impossible!

Each SSS-level bizarre item possesses terrifying power capable of easily destroying a large city, and the difficulty of containing and storing them is beyond imagination.

In the entire Nanjiang Province, there are only two SSS-level bizarre items that are officially registered!

But now, Zhou Hongye, the highest-ranking official of the Extraordinary Bureau of Nanjiang Province, holds three things in his hands!

Wang Chao suddenly understood many things.

No wonder the provincial bureau has become increasingly inefficient in handling high-level disasters over the years.

No wonder so many strange items were recorded as "destroyed" or "accidentally lost" in the containment report.

original……

It turns out he had kept all of these things hidden away!

That beast!

He is not protecting humanity at all; he is using the safety of all humanity to satisfy his own selfish desires!

After a brief moment of shock and anger, Wang Chao's heart sank to the bottom.

Jiang Luo is very strong, stronger than he could comprehend.

However, what he was facing were three bizarre SSS-level items!

Moreover, they were facing three things at the same time!

This is not as simple as one plus one equals two.

The combined power of three SSS-level bizarre items is something even a legendary world-ending calamity would have to be wary of!

Jiang Luo...

Can we win?

Or rather...

Can he hold on?

Just as Wang Chao was in a state of confusion, Zhou Hongye had already hung the "Eternal Pain Wooden Plaque" around his neck.

He held a withered hand puppet in one hand and a toe comb in the other, his distorted face filled with a morbid fanaticism.

"Today, I'll let you, you little bastard, have a good taste!"

"What is... true despair!"

Zhou Hongye's voice was hoarse like a vengeful ghost. He suddenly raised the [Withered Hand Puppet] in his hand and aimed it at Jiang Luo, who was not far away.

It's such a simple action.

Jiang Luo's body suddenly stiffened.

He felt an invisible yet irresistible force instantly seize his entire body.

It was as if an invisible net was binding him tightly.

Then he looked down.

My own chubby little hands are rapidly drying out at a visible rate, losing their original luster and elasticity.

That chubby little face is also fading quickly.

The life force within the body is like a flood that has been released, being frantically drawn out by a domineering force!

Jiang Luo's brows furrowed.

A little troublesome.

This thing is definitely something special.

It was able to completely ignore his domain and still affect him.

Moreover, he could sense that the power within his body seemed to be showing signs of instability due to the loss of his life force.

We must finish this quickly!

However, Zhou Hongye clearly had no intention of giving him any chance!

He looked at Jiang Luona's rapidly withering body, his eyes filled with even more madness.

"This is just the appetizer!"

"Next, try this!"

He raised the toe comb in his other hand.

Then, facing Jiang Luo, she made a combing motion with her hair.

hum!

A slight vibration was heard in the air.

A pale white toe bone comb, magnified dozens of times and composed entirely of phantom images, appeared out of thin air above Jiang Luo's head!

The illusory wooden comb exuded a terrifying aura capable of tearing everything apart.

It hung there above Jiang Luo's head, its gleaming white teeth aimed at his scalp.

It looked as if it would suddenly fall down at any moment, ripping out his entire skull, along with his brain matter!

Jiang Luo's eyelid twitched.

For the first time, he felt such a clear and deadly threat from an object.

This thing can hurt him!

Even... he could be killed!

Jiang Luo no longer hesitated.

With a thought, the ground beneath his feet instantly transformed into a golden stream of light.

His figure vanished from the spot at the last second.

The next second, they appeared on the other side of the hall.

however.

He has only just gained a foothold.

The illusory toe bone comb appeared on his head instantly, just like a shadow!

It's still the same location, still the same distance.

No matter how he moves, no matter where he goes, this comb can lock onto him and he can't get rid of it at all!

Jiang Luo's face fell completely.

condition……

It was more troublesome than he had imagined!

On one side is a puppet that constantly drains his life force.

On one side was a deadly wooden comb hanging overhead, ready to fall at any moment.

He was restricted.

Wang Chao, standing to the side, was so anxious that his eyes were practically popping out of their sockets.

He wanted to rush forward and share some of the pressure with Jiang Luo.

However, the S-level extraordinary power emanating from Zhou Hongye was like an invisible mountain, pinning him to the spot, unable to move.

He could only watch helplessly as that small figure, caught between two SSS-level bizarre items, struggled to stay afloat and looked utterly pathetic.

As Zhou Hongye watched Jiang Luo constantly teleporting and dodging, his smile grew increasingly smug and arrogant.

"Do you think you can escape from these three treasures of mine?"

"You little bastard, enjoy the last moments of your life!"

Just then.

The "Eternal Pain" plaque hanging on Zhou Hongye's chest, which had remained silent until now, suddenly lit up.

A dim light flashed and disappeared.

Jiang Luo, who was dealing with the two strange items with all his might, suddenly shuddered.

An excruciating pain, indescribable in any language, instantly swept over his entire body!

That feeling was like every bone, every inch of flesh, even every cell in my body...

At the same time, they are repeatedly smashed and crushed by a force, and then reassembled!

"Hmm!"

Jiang Luo let out a suppressed groan.

His pale face, which had become somewhat pale due to the loss of vitality, instantly turned bright red.

Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

His movements also paused for a fleeting moment.

It was such a trivial flaw.

Zhou Hongye captured it with pinpoint accuracy!

"Now!"

A terrifying glint flashed in Zhou Hongye's eyes.

He seized this fleeting opportunity and frantically poured all the power in his body into the [Withered Hand Puppet] in his hand!

"Die!"

He let out a hysterical roar.

The black puppet suddenly emitted a dense black aura.

Within the black mist, a withered, gigantic ghost hand materialized!

That ghostly hand broke through the limitations of the golden domain and the distance of space.

With an almost instantaneous speed, it grabbed at Jiang Luo's heart!

This attack was unavoidable!

Wang Chao, who was standing to the side, looked completely dark-faced as he watched this scene.

If Jiang Luo were to die like this...

Who will avenge Director Zhao?

Those colleagues who died tragically in the Extraordinary Hospital, those innocent ordinary people—was their blood shed in vain?!

He couldn't just stand by and watch all this happen!

He can't!

"ah!!!"

An unprecedented will exploded in Wang Chao's mind.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he let out a roar.

At that moment, he gave up everything.

They gave up their desire for life and their fear of death.

Only one thought remained in his mind.

Block it!

Even death!

We must also strive to gain even a fraction of a second for Jiang Luo!

boom!

An extraordinary power, so resolute it was almost absolute, suddenly erupted from Wang Chao's body!

The powerful aura that had pinned him to the spot was actually cracked open by this will that was willing to pay the price of life!

The price was also devastating.

Countless tiny gashes burst open on Wang Chao's body, and blood gushed out like a fountain, turning him into a blood-soaked figure.

Crimson blood also flowed from his seven orifices.

He looked utterly miserable.

But he doesn't care.

He couldn't even feel any physical pain.

In the instant he broke free of his restraints, he used the last of his strength and lunged forward like a madman!

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

and so……

Just as that withered, ghostly hand was about to touch Jiang Luo's chest.

A blood-red figure stood in front of him without hesitation.

puff!

A soft sound.

The ghostly hand, powerful enough to crush mountains, pierced through Wang Chao's chest in an instant.

Wang Chao's body suddenly stiffened.

Followed by.

A life force that was a hundred times more terrifying than what Jiang Luo had just endured was instantly drained from his body.

His body withered and shriveled at an alarming rate.

Skin, flesh, internal organs...

Everything was completely drained and vanished in a mere second.

In the blink of an eye, he was reduced to a withered skeleton.

But he did not fall.

He used the last of his strength to try and turn his head back.

He looked behind him at the child whose face was filled with shock because of his actions.

A relieved, even somewhat liberated smile appeared on the face that was reduced to mere skeleton.

"Don't... grieve for me..."

His voice was broken and faint.

The body, too, began to turn into ashes little by little from the feet.

"I...I can help you...so that you...can avenge the chief..."

"I...I'm so happy..."

He finished speaking the last word.

Wang Chao's figure could no longer be maintained.

That withered skeleton completely turned into dust, which slowly drifted away in the golden realm.

Not even a trace was left.
