Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

She was like a quiet beauty under the moon, bathed in the bright moonlight; under the moon, she was like a goddess descending to earth.

Then the goddess turned her head slightly, smiled at him, and gently waved.

……

Ten minutes ago, Zhao Hao discovered that someone had broken into his barrier from the outside.

A thought struck him, and he opened a door to let him in.

Zhao Hao and his group searched for a long time in this not-so-large area. Perhaps because they usually wandered around randomly, there were traces of that thing's activity everywhere, making it impossible to distinguish them.

Just as they were worrying, someone suddenly wanted to enter the barrier.

Zhao Hao was thinking of using a trick to lure the snake out of its hole.

This person is very likely the target of that sculpture.

We can't find it, but we'll definitely find the bait. Or rather, the fish will find the bait.

Why not go with him!

Moreover, when Zhao Hao and his friends were secretly observing the male classmate, Zhao Hao and Winston discovered that he was actually an "acquaintance"!

Do you remember when Zhao Hao and Winston played 2 against 11 at the beginning of freshman year, and then ran into that group of people on the basketball court again?

There was this guy who was really into risking his life and wanted to look cool, so he got a tattoo of a demon's face on his back. He almost got sucked to death.

Later, he took Zhao Hao's advice and tattooed a knife through his face, which temporarily solved the problem.

That male classmate who looks like a rutting monkey not far away is him!

What was his name again? Caster?!

Perhaps because of the tattoo, his psychic potential was quite high, and his spiritual vision was even higher, which is why he encountered that thing.

Zhao Hao and the others followed him and indeed found that he was moving forward in a strange way.

A short while later, the statue was found in a large, cluttered basement.

Castor ignored the pile of clutter, staring blankly at the statue, his eyes half-open, drooling, and his face vacant.

The silvery moonlight shone on the statue, making it look absolutely beautiful.

But where did the moonlight come from in the basement?

Gou Quan nervously glanced at his antique gun, then quietly looked up to see if there was a hole in the floorboards.

As Castor approached, the marble statue actually moved slightly! It adjusted its posture!

To others, the sculpture depicts a very beautiful woman, but to Gou Quan, it looks bizarre and like a poorly made oil painting, with incongruity everywhere.

In Zhao Hao's eyes, the sculpture revealed his true appearance.

It is not a beautiful woman, but something resembling an abstract, openwork totem.

The artist who created this sculpture was somewhat insane.

He and his wife were very much in love, but one time when they went hiking in the mountains, his wife died in an accident.

Not long after, the artist also became mentally unstable.

After sculpting his final work, titled "Beloved Wife," he hanged himself in the basement.

The statue later changed hands several times before ending up at Liberty City University.

After the Psionic Sea vulnerability incident, its unusual nature was finally revealed.

Zhao Hao saw that the stone carving seemed to have transformed into some kind of twisted and flexible texture, swaying with an imaginary wind.

It stretched out a "branch" and beckoned to Castor. In Castor's eyes, the goddess was beckoning to him, and he walked up to her without thinking.

Then take off your clothes...

and many more!

Holy crap, this young man?!

What is he doing?

He's working with stones?!

The snake and the ghost are superior to others, so engrossed that they penetrate the stone three-tenths of an inch!

Everyone else was dumbfounded?

Whose subordinate is this?

Could there really be such a brave person in the world?

Sylvia covered her eyes and peeked through her fingers, while Nanaya Saki, as expected of a noble lady, watched openly and with great interest.

As Gou Quan watched, he thought: If we invited him to endorse the Arabian royal aphrodisiac, wouldn't it sell like hotcakes?!

Winston panicked. This scene was definitely not normal. The statue woman had already started to hug Custer, and he was still sprinting like a madman. If this continued, someone would die!

He looked at Zhao Hao and whispered, "Think of something quickly!"

Zhao Hao nodded to him. As one of only two reliable people in the team, how could he not make preparations?

Little Softie, it's your turn to shine!

Little Soft: You're not human!

Then, Little Soft transformed into the exact same shape as the statue, silently arrived at the "battlefield" side, and waved to Caster!

Castells was stunned!

How come there are two goddesses?

Even though he's not in his right mind right now, he's already realized something's wrong.

The statue was almost within reach when it was suddenly robbed halfway, interrupting the process. He was furious and stopped pretending, revealing his true colors. Seven or eight arms reached out from behind him and hugged Castor tightly.

Then he grinned, revealing fangs, and said, "Who sculpted you? How dare you steal my prey?"

Castor instantly regained his senses and looked at the goddess, who was now bloated and twisted, like a lump of black mud that had come to life, so close to him that he immediately became weak.

At the same time, the excruciating pain from the friction against the stone surged up, and he couldn't help but let out a scream like the heroine of a horror movie.

Chapter 188 My Own Little Softie, Keep It Up!

The statue's appearance changed drastically; its face became large and swollen, its once shapely body became bulky and bizarre, and its waist was covered with rings of fat, comparable to a Michelin Man.

More than a dozen arms of varying lengths and thicknesses sprouted from its back, ending in strange hands with hooves, claws, and fingers of varying numbers.

Its lower body has short, thick legs like pillars, inserted into a marble base.

It bared its ferocious fangs and bared its claws at the little soft creature.

Xiao Ruan was much calmer, blinking her tiny green eyes with an innocent look on her face.

Xiaoruan: It's not that I want to interrupt your good time, it's that the person over there is inhuman!

At this moment, the twisted sculpture also noticed Zhao Hao and the others.

Perhaps because they outnumbered it, or perhaps because it lacked confidence in its own strength, it let out a sharp shriek that shook the surrounding dust, and then the base beneath its feet suddenly turned into something resembling liquid or countless roots, and it fled far away like a whirlwind.

"Leave the person here!"

With a roar, Winston swung the mechanical arm that was on his hand, and a capture net flew out.

Winston has personally experienced several extraordinary events and fought a few impressive victories. Now he has begun to transform his knowledge into combat power.

His psychic abilities are quite unique; they involve "rapidly psychicizing mechanical bodies and causing them to react with his own psychic energy."

It's roughly equivalent to a kind of "human-machine integration" ability.

It is said that there is a rare group of weapon refiners in the Song Dynasty who can easily refine ordinary items into temporary magical artifacts (extraordinary items).

For example, if you grab a handful of sand and throw it out, it's like a sandstorm that dazzles the eye.

Even simple clothes can have special effects after being refined, such as automatically binding people or strengthening defenses.

Winston's abilities are quite limited, only applicable to mechanical beings. However, when combined with his professional knowledge and skills, they seem exceptionally fitting.

After the capture net flew out, it circled in the air and automatically opened, as if guided by a navigation system, enveloping the statue and Castor within it.

Then, spiritual energy flowed through each rope, radiating a deep blue light and beginning to shrink automatically.

However, the twisted statue had the ability to change shape; with a rub of its two arms, it transformed into a large pair of scissors, which snipped a gap in the net.

It abandoned Castor and transformed itself like some kind of liquid, emerging from the gap.

Winston flicked his wrist, and the net flew back with Castor in it.

Although they failed to achieve a decisive victory, they managed to rescue the hostage, who had already fainted from fright.

At that moment, Sylvia picked up a paintbrush and casually drew a few strokes on the paper. Suddenly, a circle of golden psionic flames ignited on the ground, surrounding the twisted statue.

But the statue's arms came together, forming a large nozzle that spewed out a large amount of icy blue psionic energy, extinguishing the flames.

Everyone looked at each other, and to be honest, this thing was quite difficult to deal with!

Zhao Hao casually pointed at the iron statue next to him, and the statue turned into an iron golem, rushing over with a clang.

But the statue was not afraid at all. Its dozen or so twisted arms spread out like flower stamens and became entangled with the iron golem.

That iron golem's punch could weigh at least a ton, but the twisted statue's body was like a non-Newtonian fluid, basically impervious to blows.

It pounced on the iron golem, kicking and punching it relentlessly, and quickly gained the upper hand by entangled it with its many hands and feet.

Zhao Hao threw out a fire talisman, but the effect was mediocre. The statue did not burn.

He then inserted two more bone teeth, which had some effect, creating two holes in the statue. However, the holes healed quickly.

And as if to make up for its own losses, the swollen lady opened her fanged mouth and bit down on the shoulder of the iron golem, which was already at a complete disadvantage and could only struggle.

With that one bite, his entire shoulder was chewed up and crushed!

It can even devour the psionic energy within the iron golem!

The iron golems were scattered all over the ground, and Zhao Hao quickly used a barrier to temporarily trap the sculptures.

The distorted statue—the swollen lady, her flesh churning and roaring to the sky—made the barrier tremble.
