I set you up on a blind date, and you've managed to overcome all the weirdness?

Chapter 154 The Bizarre Army

Lin Yan moved nimbly and slid to avoid the nearest wooden horse.

He crouched down and, with a few quick maneuvers, closed in on the very center of the carousel.

He exerted his strength and punched the iron shaft in the middle.

A loud crash.

The iron shaft, as thick as a thigh, was actually dented by his punch.

The entire carousel shook three times; it was in pain.

The rocking horse that had just been thrown out suddenly turned back and headed straight for Lin Yan.

Hearing the commotion behind him, Lin Yan smiled confidently.

He used the iron axle as leverage to leap into the air, landing right on the wooden horse that was coming back up behind him.

Using the momentum again, he delivered a roundhouse kick, striking the dent that had been created by the impact on the iron axle.

With a "crack," the iron pillar snapped.

Without the central axis supporting it, the entire carousel loses its support, the rules become invalid, and it collapses.

As the rules collapsed, the human figures bound to them were freed and fell haphazardly to the ground, groaning in pain.

"Done."

Lin Yan patted the rust off his hands, quite satisfied with his current physical destructive power.

He went closer to take a look and found that those humanoid figures were also bizarre, but they had not even solidified into physical forms. He guessed that they were low-level wandering spirits under the command of the Trojan Horse.

After confirming that everything was resolved, he turned and walked towards Ajiu.

"Let's go, I'll make a call and then we can go back for dinner."

The two walked out of the amusement park side by side.

Lin Yan was still considering whether to go to his usual barbecue stall for dinner that night.

He didn't even notice the ruins behind them.

The carousel that had been completely shattered.

It suddenly moved.

"Squeak, squeak."

The gears meshed again, and the broken wooden horses miraculously reassembled themselves.

But this Trojan horse seems a little different.

Those remnant souls who should have been freed actually turned their heads 180 degrees in unison, all staring at Lin Yan's departing figure.

The amusement park's sound system had been broken for a long time, but now music was playing, and all sorts of abandoned facilities were gradually coming back to life.

Dozens of voices overlapped, echoing through the ruins: "Big brother—so handsome—"

"Big brother—I like—"

a few days later.

Folklore Bureau, Logistics Department.

Lin Yan couldn't dissuade Ajiu from insisting on coming along, so he brought her to the bureau to report his work and also to pick up a few portions of the high-grade nutrient solution that Old Zhao had specially approved.

They repeatedly told me not to talk and not to take off my mask.

He publicly claimed that Ajiu was his distant cousin who had suffered some mental trauma and needed to be taken care of at all times.

Old Zhao glanced at Ajiu but didn't ask any further questions.

These days, who doesn't have some quirks when doing fieldwork? Especially someone like Lin Yan, whom you can't control. It seems like this kid is an adult now, so as long as he doesn't cause trouble, it'll be fine.

"Go and sign the papers, kid. The nutrient solution is in warehouse number two. Go get it yourself."

Old Zhao handed Lin Yan a form.

"Ah Jiu, sit here and wait for me. Don't wander off or talk to strangers."

Lin Yan settled Ajiu on a bench in the waiting area, gave her a few instructions, and then took the forms and headed towards the warehouse deep in the corridor.

He wasn't afraid of bad people in the bureau; on the contrary, he was afraid that Ah Jiu would cause trouble.

The waiting area was quiet.

Ah Jiu sat on the bench, swinging her legs, her eyes wandering aimlessly.

Why hasn't my older brother come back yet?

No SpongeBob SquarePants, no Patrick Star, so boring!

She couldn't resist any longer and stood up by pushing herself up.

Strangely enough, despite so many people coming and going in the station, not a single one of them stopped her for questioning; it was as if everyone had ignored her.

Finally, Ajiu stopped.

There was a sealed iron door directly opposite her at that moment.

There were more than a dozen talismans pasted on the door, along with a conspicuous warning sign.

[High-risk containment item: Crying Mirror]

Even through the iron gate, one could hear the heart-wrenching cries from inside.

This cry can directly affect the soul, and even a person born deaf can hear it.

Many operators quickened their pace and covered their ears as they passed by.

Ah Jiu tilted her head and looked at the iron gate.

"The aunt inside kept crying, it was too noisy."

Ajiu frowned and muttered softly, "Big brother likes quiet—even Sister Chuchu has been scolded."

She just stared quietly at the iron gate for a while, then went back inside.

He continued to sit in the chair, playing with his fingers, waiting for Lin Yan to return.

Ten minutes later.

Lin Yan came out carrying two boxes of nutrient solution.

"Let's go home."

Lin Yan called out, and Ajiu obediently got up and followed behind Lin Yan.

That night.

The night shift officer in charge of guarding the warehouse discovered something outrageous during a routine patrol.

That "Crying Mirror," which had been kept in the bureau for three years, would drive the night shift operators to the brink of mental collapse every night.

It's unusually quiet tonight?

Not only did the crying stop, but it also stopped.

The agents saw through the surveillance camera that the mirror was now completely clean, whereas it used to constantly ooze blood.

Wait, why do I see two pink spots on the mirror?

She looks like she's shy.

The operative quickly shook his head, realizing he had really gotten confused from working overtime.

However, this also falls under the category of containment anomalies and must be reported immediately.

Late at night, in a dead-end alley in the old city of Jiangcheng.

Lin Yan leaned against the brick wall and wiped away his sweat.

"What the hell is wrong with me?"

He had originally just accepted a routine surveillance task from the task force, responsible for investigating several suspected outposts of the Bai Guai Dan remnant gang.

Who knew these charlatans had such a keen sense of smell, actually setting up a deadly Yin-based counter-tracking formation here.

The exits at both ends of the alley have been completely blocked.

Eerie black runes flickered on the four walls, and a suffocating stench of blood filled the air.

Six officers in long robes were closing in on him, surrounding him.

"Special Envoy Lin, you've been making quite a splash in Jiangcheng these past few days."

The leading officer sneered.

"Today, I'll show you the consequences of offending the gods!"

Lin Yan ignored him, as he had been experimenting with the upper limit of the Nine Revolutions Prison Bone Body without using any authority or rule-based items.

It seems the youth version isn't working well; it's too slow, and the plateau lasts too long. It's been over half a month since I've seen any improvement.

As Lin Yan thought this, his left hand quietly reached into his pocket.

These little Karamis aren't worthy of his authority, mainly because he's afraid that Saya or the mermaid might ask why he didn't ask them for help.

A frog brooch is enough.

"One against six is ​​a bit risky, so we can only let Ah Feng come out and lead everyone in dancing a social dance to liven things up."

77

Lin Yan was about to take out the frog balloon.

Just now.

A loud bang came from the entrance of the alley.

The seal that the robed official claimed was foolproof was broken in an instant!

The walls, as if made of paper, were smashed to pieces.

Dust filled the air, obscuring everyone.

Lin Yan was stunned.

The leader was also stunned.

"Who goes there?" the officer roared, raising his bone blade and looking into the depths of the smoke and dust.

Folklore Bureau?

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated.

The scene before them caused everyone present to freeze up simultaneously.

Standing there—was it a bunch of grotesque figures?!

And they're bizarre creatures with hearts in their eyes and pink bubbles on their heads?!
