Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

This type of curse exists in many civilizations, such as the "villain hitting" in Hong Kong and Macau, the witchcraft scare during the Han Dynasty, the straw doll curse in Japan, the photo curse, and many more in Southeast Asia...

Generally, such curses require obtaining the cursed person's hair, nails, or other body tissues; at the very least, they require used items, photos, or birth information.

But this woman was different. She directly intercepted a wisp of the boarman's spiritual energy, used it to form a cursed straw doll, and then used it to damage the spiritual energy.

Zhao Hao watched the entire battle from the perspective of the Earth God Soldier. After the outcome of the battle was determined, he left with Elena early on.

This woman is too mysterious. Zhao Hao doesn't want to get involved with her before he knows her background.

Of course, after returning to Liberty City, Zhao Hao began to subtly inquire about the situation through Colt.

Finally, Colt, annoyed to no end, revealed the information he knew after Zhao Hao agreed to give him more missions in the future.

This woman works for the Southern Branch and, like Zhao Hao, is only a temporary worker.

However, this woman's strength is by no means weak; she is known as Prada, the Voodoo Queen.

"The reason she is so powerful at such a young age is because her ancestors were all extraordinary beings, and they were all Voodoo's representatives in Ame."

"Her mother was known as the Voodoo Queen and was very famous in the southern states. Many important figures came to visit her... But at that time, psychic energy had not yet been revived, and she could only be considered a folk psychic, a medium of the first or second level of Black Iron."

“Things are different now. After the psychic resurgence, the voodoo cultists in those southern states will all be subject to its control.”

"It is said that their family has worshipped a deity for generations and can even borrow the power of the deity!"

Although Zhao Hao felt that the gods of the Voodoo Cult weren't particularly high-ranking, somewhat like the Yin gods or earth spirits of Chinese legends, they were still gods after all. If one could truly borrow the power of a silver-level deity, that would be truly remarkable.

This feeling is somewhat reminiscent of Longhu Mountain. They also have "connections at higher levels."

The Heavenly Master's Mansion truly possessed the power to "command troops and generals," borrowing the power of the gods.

Moreover, the Zhengyi sect is very protective of its own, and they often "invite the patriarch to possess them" to borrow the power of the patriarch.

Thinking about it this way, it's true that they have a similar effect.

Regarding that mission, Zhao Hao also deduced some things from Colt and some information in the documents about those three boarmen.

The Key to the Mysterious Realm!

After the three boar-men died, the remaining spiritual energy within them somehow formed a key to a strange realm.

This is also why the three boar-men have become so much stronger.

Is this what is meant by "property"?

Three boar-men, the key to the Ghost Realm, and then thinking about the Ghost Realm keys that members of the Shadow Organization had obtained... Zhao Hao had some guesses.

But why would that woman collect the keys to the eerie world of dark fairy tales?

……

After the New Year, extraordinary events indeed occurred more and more frequently.

Moreover, according to data from the Bureau of Mysteries, the phenomenon of psionic distortions occurring among ordinary people has begun to increase, and the rate of increase is not low.

Some have awakened abilities with side effects, such as causing severe allergic reactions in those around them, causing electrical appliances to malfunction and break, or causing nearby glass and porcelain to shatter when they sneeze...

These all need to be taken back to the Bureau of Mysteries for processing, and most of them cannot be resolved or controlled, so they can only be temporarily kept under guard.

These are considered good; some are even more terrifying.

Body mutation!

Suddenly, an extra hand appears, or an eyeball grows on the tongue, and the skin peels away, gradually transforming into a humanoid giant beetle... This kind of physical deformity is more noticeable and more harmful.

They often accumulate enough negative emotions in their hearts, and then their spirituality is wrongly stimulated by certain things, and then they become distorted in a short period of time or immediately.

Some of them still retain some consciousness, but most have completely lost their nature and have begun to indiscriminately harm and kill others.

After the mutation, their physical abilities are greatly enhanced, and they often possess some strange powers, making them incredibly ruthless when killing. If you arrive even slightly late, at least five, six, seven, or eight people will die.

In the first half of January alone, the Liberty City Precinct had already handled six cases of mortal mutations. Two of these cases were discovered too late, and the perpetrators had already escaped and were still being pursued.

The problem is that this may only be the cases that have been discovered; there are also tragedies happening in some remote corners and unnoticed slums!

The supernatural is now spreading to ordinary people, and most of it is for bad reasons.

Of course, even if someone is lucky enough to awaken psychic powers and become a superhuman, it doesn't necessarily mean they will do good deeds.

The Amis are used to being unrestrained, so if they suddenly discover they have superpowers, choosing to show them off is already considered being a good person.

Many of them simply choose to rob stores, recklessly buy things for free, or toy with ordinary people for amusement!

And then some idiot went and robbed a bank, and he almost succeeded.

The funniest case involved a rookie superhuman with the ability to simulate invisibility in his environment. He actually went to his crush's house to spy on her.

The problem is, she has a live-in boyfriend!

And he just stood there watching... for three whole days. In the end, he slipped up, scaring the couple so much that they called the police, which led to the Mysterious Bureau discovering and pursuing him.

Two teams of black-clad agents were dispatched at the time, and they almost let this kid with the unusual fetish escape!

The black-clad agents were exhausted, with each person working more than 12 hours a day, and the injury rate had increased significantly.

Even so, it was inevitable that many urban legends would circulate among the people.

After Zhao Hao returned to the station to hand over the mission, he noticed that Colt's head was even shinier!

"Finished?" Colt asked listlessly, without even lifting his head, still writing the document.

"Ah," Zhao Hao replied, sounding equally weak and listless.

Colt sensed something was wrong and looked up to ask, "Not going well?"

Zhao Hao looked conflicted. "It's not about whether things go smoothly or not, it's just that kind of thing that's hard to accept... you know?"

Zhao Hao's mission this time was a major one; an entire city block had been destroyed. More than two hundred witnesses were brought back by agents of the Bureau of Mysteries to have their memories erased…

The cause of this sudden mission was a man who was dissatisfied with his sexual performance.

Not that. For that, there's the "real man's package" from the mantis shrimp health department, mainly because the tadpoles are sparse and have a low survival rate.

The doctor tried everything, but nothing worked. The man was extremely distressed about this.

Coincidentally, his psychic potential is quite high.

His pride as a man had been tormenting him during this period, which became a potential cause of the accident.

The main reason was his attending physician, who also had a high potential for psychic abilities.

This middle-aged doctor has been determined since childhood to make outstanding achievements in medical care and benefit the vast number of men.

His research direction differs from that of the Mantis Shrimp Health Department; he mainly wants to contribute to the declining birth rate in developed countries.

And indeed, his patients are victims of this.

After years of dedicated research, and inspired by some folk herbal remedies from his hometown, he finally developed a medicine to enhance the vitality of tadpoles.

The problem is that he doesn't have the qualifications to develop this drug, so there's no possibility of conducting clinical trials.

He couldn't bear to see all his years of hard work go to waste.

So he found the male patient, asked him if he was willing to try it, and clearly explained the possible side effects.

The man couldn't accept the thought that the seeds he had sown wouldn't sprout. So he agreed without even thinking.

It was fine at first. After a week of taking the medicine, the vitality and number of the tadpoles improved significantly.

But things took an unexpected turn in the second week. The man started experiencing pain down there!

Man: You said there might be a dull ache, but this is hurting so much!!!

The examination revealed that the patient's sperm motility had further increased, but the number had begun to decrease.

After examining the tadpoles, the doctor concluded that they had actually begun a process of natural selection! And through mutual cannibalism, they were actually growing larger and larger!

"This pain isn't ordinary pain; it's a throbbing pain!"

"Your only option now is to empty this batch as soon as possible and see what happens with the next batch."

The doctor and the patient were experiencing a mix of joy and worry!

The good news is that the medicine is working!

The worry is that the effect seems to have gone too far, and it's not quite what we originally envisioned!

The man readily agreed and invited a close female colleague to chat about their life goals and such.

However, to the man's surprise, the drug's effects came on too quickly and accelerated day by day.

The man had just arrived at his female colleague's house and hadn't even had a chance to get down to business when he was already in excruciating pain.

He rushed to the bathroom, intending to relieve himself first.

What he didn't know was that the tadpole breeding technique had already ended, and the tadpole king had been determined!

Finally, with a roar, an overwhelming force sent the man flying backward, smashing the bathroom door down.

The female colleague in the living room witnessed the scene: a white, magical creature shot out like an arrow and landed in the toilet! The man was still lying on the floor in a shooting posture.

Female colleague: I originally thought Lu Bu was invincible, but I didn't expect there to be someone even more valiant than him. Whose subordinate is this?

However, the matter did not end there.

The tadpole king's vitality was beyond imagination; it seemed as if the spiritual potential of both the patient and the doctor had been awakened within it.

After the saying "The sea is wide enough for fish to leap and the sky is high enough for birds to fly," it grew rapidly, then broke through the sewers and rampaged across the ground, causing destruction everywhere!

When Zhao Hao and the others arrived, they couldn't believe their eyes!

What kind of extraordinary creature is this?!

What did I see?

Did a big tadpole knock over and crush a minibus?

After this battle, the participants' complex emotions necessitate psychological counseling at the sanatorium.

Chapter 258 Special Event

After the turn of the 80s, the speed of the psychic resurgence was unexpectedly fast. Not only did various extraordinary events occur and extraordinary individuals begin to lose control, but many ordinary people also had their spirituality stimulated in some wrong and inexplicable ways, leading to erroneous distortions.

There is only one line separating the mutants and the superhumans, but that line is the line between humans and monsters.

These mutants have transformed from humans into monsters, and they carry with them various accumulated negative emotions. They often commit extremely heinous acts and have become a huge safety hazard.

In the past two weeks, the crime rate in Liberty City has surged, with most of the crimes being serious, and the majority of them committed by mutated mortals.
