Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

Humans are not the most intelligent of all beings, but merely an insignificant speck of dust in the vast universe.

We were both fortunate and unfortunate to be born in this special world, which is why our civilization is destined to be short-lived.

Now, this protective film has a hole!

……

After the vulnerability was discovered, most of the extraordinary individuals in the world noticed something was amiss.

For example, Elena noticed that her psychic energy seemed unusually active. She could even passively sense the emotional changes of the people around her!

For example, there's Xiao Xiuman, Zhao Hao's younger brother, who has ridden in Zhao Hao's improved 2.0 version electric scooter three times already. Is he trying to show off his scooter to Zhao Hao?

Silly brother, how could your sister care about this?

So she secretly removed the car's battery and watched as the foolish little girl cried as she pushed the car to find Zhao Hao for help.

As for others, martial artists like Ma Long, unless they reach the Bronze level and begin to return from their own small world to the innate world and then to the great world, their senses will be even weaker.

I just felt that my psionic energy was flowing so smoothly, could it be a sign of an upcoming advancement? I, Malone, am indeed a genius!

Only someone like Zhao Hao, who usually maintains close contact with the Spirit Energy Sea and witnessed most of the process, knows exactly what happened.

In Liberty City, there are figures like Uncle Tie, the wise and eccentric monk at the Fu Lu Temple, the elusive leader of the Hongmen, several double-flowered red sticks and their retainers, several elderly priests in the church, and a black-clad man whose headquarters are located in the funeral home and crematorium...

They all directly experienced the accident.

It's like a bubble under seawater pressure, and someone poked a hole in it, so the "seawater" started to rush in!

This is probably a good thing for superhumans, because the resurgence of psychic energy will be faster and psychic energy will become more active.

The outward manifestation is that psionic energy is accumulated faster and its effects are stronger.

But for ordinary people, the world has become more dangerous!

The inner world is beginning to converge with the outer world as a whole. If this continues at this rate, a complete unification of the inner and outer worlds will occur within a century. It cannot be stopped!

However, whether this world can survive for a hundred years is also a question.

The original, very strong and comprehensive protection system now has a loophole, allowing outside "things" to get in.

Originally, after the revival of psionic energy, many of the demon god's familiars began to awaken. Now, it's even more complicated, as outsiders may also appear.

Those "aliens" are anything but friendly to life on this planet.

Or rather, their friendliness is not quite in line with human concepts.

The world's progress speed is doubled!

……

Ordinary people in the surface world, except for a very few high-ranking officials who have adapted to the information of the inner world, rarely know what has happened.

However, many of Aramco's missile silos are in a standby state.

The Russians were even more direct, using several nuclear bombs within a few days. Some say it was to excavate an artificial lake, others say it was to extinguish a fire at a natural gas mine…

It can only be said that the effect was remarkable, severely striking a blow against certain mysterious monster groups that suddenly appeared in the Siberian wilderness.

According to intelligence later obtained by the US, a reinforced Russian company's base had completely disappeared into a bomb crater.

The company's organization and number were also cancelled. What we know is that the entire company was wiped out, and then the Russians used nuclear weapons to eliminate the swarming enemy...

However, the development of nuclear weapons is not solely based on human wisdom. Many people are now discussing whether this technology was born under the influence of the Lord of Change or the Gotha.

Destruction and rebirth down to the atomic level, the most brutal wars and massacres, also created mutual nuclear deterrence, bringing large-scale world wars to a halt...

People are now using these weapons to defend themselves against enemies, but who knows if this is part of some kind of plan?

……

What brought the president in the White Palace some comfort was that the situation in America was better than that of its adversary, Russia.

There are many problems in Russia's vast territory.

That area was once the habitat of some monsters from the other world, and even the uninhabited wastelands of Siberia were once the place where many strange gods' followers or creations lived.

Near the Arctic Circle, there has always been a Russian garrison, an ancient guard that existed since the Tsarist era and was only partially deployed during the Battle of Stalingrad.

Now, on Russian territory, large numbers of disgusting monsters frequently emerge from underground caves, or mysterious monsters hunt passersby in the snowy mountains. The Russians are extremely busy.

Compared to that, Amei had it much easier.

With Canada and the government supporting them in the north, and the south in complete chaos, they don't care and are happy to see it happen.

Only in many places within its own territory are the local police, military, supernatural forces, and secret agencies in a state of utter chaos.

Some stories feature monsters crawling out of bottomless sinkholes, scarecrows killing people in vast cornfields, streets suddenly connecting to non-existent roads due to some unusual event, and famous haunted houses suddenly becoming haunted...

While major newspapers and radio stations remained silent, local tabloids were buzzing with excitement. The number of urban legends skyrocketed.

……

Zhao Hao, along with Elena, Winston, and Sylvia, had participated in several Mysterious Bureau operations to earn extra money.

Winston has benefited immensely from this breach in the psionic sea.

At the time, he was staying up all night debugging the semiconductor electronic control system of the robotic arm he had made, trying to see if there were any loopholes in the control system. This was the topic of his graduation thesis.

Suddenly, a special power surged from his body, and he discovered that his robotic arm had "come alive"!

That's right, he awakened his psychic powers and became a superhuman.

Gou Quan is definitely a drag on the team! Should we kick him out?

That day, while having lunch in the cafeteria, everyone started talking about something.

"I've heard another rumor that someone at school saw a statue moving at night! It's said that the people who saw the moving statue all mysteriously disappeared."

Gou Quan routinely eats at the cafeteria, while also serving as a gossipmonger and a source of rumors and gossip.

Winston looked at him with suspicion.

"Could this be another case of some kitten making those weird noises?"

Last time, everyone believed Gou Quan's rumors and worked until midnight, only to find that the culprit was actually a stray cat.

Before Gou Quan could even defend himself, Sylvia spoke up: "One of our classmates from the art department has gone missing. She said she saw a sculpture walk past in the corridor..."

------------

Chapter 187 Who carved you?

The current situation is that paranormal events are increasing all over the world.

In other words, the internet hadn't taken off yet; otherwise, it certainly wouldn't have been able to be suppressed.

According to Zhao Hao's knowledge from the Bureau of Mysteries, in less than half a month, there have been as many as 76 extraordinary events in Liberty City alone.

The Secret Service and the Federal Police are practically tied together now. They're always on missions.

Sometimes, police officers resign, either voluntarily or involuntarily, because of what they witnessed.

So it's perfectly normal for something to happen at Liberty City University.

After all, the extraordinary attract the extraordinary. With four or five extraordinary individuals gathered here, it's not surprising that something might happen.

……

That evening, the group prepared their gear and quietly arrived at the art department's campus.

"Oh, damn it, why is your art department so nice here? What? There are even single rooms for one person?" Gou Quan protested.

Everyone: You're not a student, what are you so upset about?

Sylvia smiled smugly: "We artists are different, of course. We should allow some artists to get rich first!"

Zhao Hao released paper insects, and Nanaya Saki let go, sending out countless egg-sized spirit balls with long tails.

These are all tiny spiritual entities generated in nature, collected by spiritualists for other uses.

Zhao Hao also erected an enormous barrier, nearly a kilometer in length and width, which enveloped the entire surrounding area.

Zhao Hao's progress is also very obvious. His psionic energy is almost at the level of Black Iron 3! His abilities in all aspects have also become stronger.

Even with this massive barrier, a 120 km/h jeep crashing into it didn't break it.

As long as that damn statue is still here, it's doomed today!

At the same time, a boy also inexplicably arrived at the art department campus.

When he came to pick up girls during the day, he accidentally came across a female statue at the corner of the corridor.

Artists, after all, tend to wear less clothing.

Wearing clothes is not art.

Therefore, the statue is also half-naked.

In addition, the sculpted woman was extremely beautiful, evoking a feeling of desire mixed with nature.

That waist, that chest, those eyes that seemed to come alive...

So he couldn't help but touch it.

So much so that he stopped chasing girls altogether, stood them up, coo coo coo!

Where can you find a college girl with such stunning beauty and charm?

Young men don't know the value of women and mistakenly treat their peers as treasures!

That night, he tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and finally made up his mind. He wanted to come and see, to look again, the statue of the beautiful woman.

Less than five minutes after Zhao Hao and the others went in, he slipped into the campus wrapped in his clothes and wearing slippers.

"Where is it? Where is it? I clearly remember this is the place, how come it's gone?!" He anxiously searched back and forth in the corridor.

"Could someone have moved it? Or maybe it's been hidden away?!"

He began frantically searching the campus, not even noticing that he had lost his slippers.

He has fallen into a certain state.

Perhaps it was a case of sincerity moving mountains, for he suddenly saw the beautiful statue of the woman he had been longing for at a corner!

He stumbled and staggered after his goddess, and soon arrived at a secluded place.
