Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey~~" The fat man escaped from the mirror world and knelt on the ground, spitting a string of spitting. This spiking left him looking like a man, his mouth and nose filled with black ash, and he was now lying on the ground, almost unable to get up.

I don't know where in hell this "nail hole" leads, there's fire and smoke everywhere, the sky is red, it's like a giant crematorium!

Zhao Hao and the fat man fought against hundreds of hellish monsters and several demons for three whole hours until the magic mirror digested the mirror room, thus sealing the "nail hole".

In this battle, Zhao Hao used at least three-tenths of his true abilities, if not all of them.

He could withstand a five-meter-tall muscle-bound demon with his bare body, wield the Radiant Dragon Moon Blade to slay hordes of demons, and shatter barriers to extract juice from a large number of monsters... He was practically invincible!

Fatty: You've finally shown your true colors! You bastard, your spiritual energy is so immense, even most Bronze-level cultivators don't have this much!

However, since the matter originated from him and Zhao Hao came to save him, he didn't mention it.

This time, he actually turned misfortune into blessing, as he successfully completed the "advancement trial" and became a true bronze-level expert!

After some time, the game released a dungeon called "Endless Hell Trial".

This mode is practically a death sentence, but if you can survive long enough, it will greatly improve your strength!

Many skilled players are very interested in this and are secretly studying how to survive more rounds.

……

The Bureau of Mysteries has been quite active these days, with many hidden forces gradually surfacing.

What was this old, long-lived exorcist and executioner who lived for six hundred years in a time rewind, and whose one hand had been replaced with a chainsaw?

What about the two exorcist brothers traveling across America? What about the hell detective who always sabotages his teammates? What about the vampire hunter with the blood of a high-ranking vampire? What about the immortal superhuman with the ability to regenerate? What about the alien visitor?

It was only then that Zhao Hao realized the Mysterious Bureau had a formidable foundation, but surprisingly, most of its connections and resources weren't with Amei. Was this some kind of decentralized operation?

Colt: What do you think? What do you think I chose you for in the first place? You were one of these people originally, but for some reason, the higher-ups in America also took a liking to you, turning you from a temporary worker into a savior candidate!

People have become numb to it all this year.

While there have been some large-scale, highly impactful supernatural events in the past, such as the Gluttony-Lord of the Flies incident, they have been extremely rare.

They are usually deformed individuals described as psychopathic killers, or extraordinary beings of some kind of mutated creature. Events caused by these strange objects are usually easily suppressed.

But it is different now.

For example, the town of Desiwa was completely wiped out last month, leaving not even a name!

The Bureau of Mysteries even deployed Class A artifacts to interfere with all written and visual materials related to "Desiwa." In other words, the town can no longer be found on paper. Many people's memories have even been altered, and they can no longer recall it clearly.

That was a high-powered missile used on domestic soil! A mushroom cloud!

There was also the Sewol sacrifice in South Korea, where more than a hundred young lives were sacrificed in one go.

There are also many other examples, such as the sudden appearance of temporary secret realms, which led to some strange and dangerous supernatural creatures running into the surface world.

Some large-scale incidents resulted in people being detained or evacuated without any clear explanation.

The public has become numb.

Those experts didn't even bother to make excuses: "I think it might be some kind of mutation? Maybe that's just life~"

Of course, soon after, something happened in the neighborhood where this expert lived, and then people never saw that expert again. He went on to face his own life.

Extraordinary events seem to have become commonplace, and all sorts of unexpected accidents have become the norm.

Ordinary people become victims, sufferers, deformed individuals, or extraordinary individuals; they can only passively wait for themselves to become a certain kind of being.

Many people have started to believe in something as a basis for their beliefs, but this kind of blind faith and superstition has led to more uncontrollable supernatural events.

Chapter 358 All Bronze Level, God's Armor

December 24, around 12 p.m., Liberty City Line 3 subway.

At this time of day, it's usually rush hour. The subway is packed, and even if it's not exactly overflowing, you often don't even know who took your underwear if you lose it.

But now, the Line 3 subway is deserted, with only a few scattered black-clad agents and large areas of black and yellow police tape.

There was an incident on subway line 3.

A white-collar worker who usually drives instead of taking the subway was tragically killed under his car. And it was a particularly gruesome death—he was crushed between the subway car and the platform.

According to the staff, who were vomiting, the man screamed and howled for a full three minutes before finally dying. The gruesome sight terrified everyone around him. More than an hour later, heavy equipment was brought in, and the body was finally removed without breaking it.

To be honest, it was absolutely terrifying to see this happen during rush hour.

It's Christmas Eve!

You just pulled a magic trick on dozens or even hundreds of people, making them disappear without a trace! That's outrageous, absolutely outrageous!

Even though people are now quite accepting of all sorts of bizarre things, such a bloody scene is still really hard to watch.

The agents in black even had to bring out a whole set of psychic equipment to dispel negative spiritual energy, otherwise the subway station was already very dangerous. A paranormal event could easily have occurred.

Many officers at the Liberty City Police Department claimed that this was absolutely an "abnormal event," and that only the devil could orchestrate such a tragedy, strongly urging the Bureau of Mysteries to handle it.

However, once he arrived, Zhao Hao discovered that this was not an extraordinary event at all; it was merely a low-probability event, and the victims were simply unlucky.

You say you take the subway less than ten times a year, but suddenly when you do, your foot slips on the platform and you get caught between the slowing subway and the platform!

“I can confirm that this is not a supernatural event. Let’s leave.” Zhao Hao said, turning to leave.

However, the fat police chief of Liberty City Police Department grabbed Zhao Hao: "Sir, please take a closer look. How could this not be an abnormal event? This person is like this."

Zhao Hao casually flipped through a stack of documents, nodding as he read. "I can tell you with absolute certainty, Chief Sheriff, this isn't a supernatural event. As for why this person is so unlucky, I think it's probably related to his profession."

Occupation?

The chubby police chief looked at Zhao Hao and the black-clad agents who had already left, and helplessly started flipping through the files.

It turns out the deceased was a "famous" "media person".

In reality, he's just a super paparazzi and a host of rumor-mongering shows, who often fabricates stories to slander others in order to gain traffic and sales.

Regardless of what happens to those he fabricated rumors about, he has made a fortune using this secret to wealth.

I never imagined I'd die such a horrible death here today...

This is hardly an extraordinary event; if we have to call it that, perhaps it's retribution.

Tomorrow is Christmas, and the whole of America, or rather, the whole of Western civilized countries, is starting to joyfully prepare for the holiday.

Supermarkets and shopping malls are having huge promotions, with all sorts of Christmas specials popping up everywhere.

This has somewhat mitigated the negative news that has emerged this year. After all, no matter how tough things get, we still have to live, and if we can't fight it, we can only pretend it didn't happen.

However, Christmas is such a big day, how can things possibly be quiet?

Just after midnight that day, Zhao Hao sensed something unusual about his spiritual energy sea.

Entering the dream and peering out into the psychic sea, the entire psychic sea was surging like a tsunami. Above, colorful ribbons, like the aurora borealis, floated erratically.

On this day, almost no one could have a good dream, because the dream was almost shattered by the turbulence.

Even the connection to the fantasy game was affected, resulting in delays.

In the world directly affected by the psionic sea, things were incredibly turbulent.

In many places, supernatural beings were fleeing for their lives; in some places, they went berserk; and in some places, the terrain began to change, with mountains cracking and rivers changing course.

The settlements of those extraordinary races were severely affected, and many even had to find ways to flee to the surface world for refuge.

Coincidentally, at this time, the barrier between the two worlds thinned again, and numerous temporary secret realms appeared, just like holes in a cheese. Many extraordinary races and creatures fled to the surface world for refuge.

The surface world was also greatly affected, with many extraordinary items and strange creatures resurfacing. In some areas, entire communities felt a sense of unease and impending doom. Cats, dogs, and poultry ran around in a frenzy.

Some people with extreme mental illnesses or hidden mental disorders have also been drastically affected and changed during this period.

That night, more than eighty serious incidents occurred in Liberty City alone: ​​couples arguing and using knives, friends bickering and fighting to the death, someone committing suicide by sticking a gun in their crotch, and someone setting dogs on people... More than forty people lost their lives.

This Christmas, before dawn, was already stained with blood.

The Bureau of Mysteries once again mobilized its entire force, with even the Red Gate, the Night Watch, and the Evangelical Fellowship deploying large numbers of personnel to launch a widespread crackdown, aiming to prevent Liberty City from descending into chaos.

Liberty City is the center of the entire East Coast, its status is no less than that of the capital, Hwaseong, so it absolutely cannot be allowed to descend into chaos.

However, many things are beyond human control. A large number of extraordinary beings flocked to the surface world. Even if the extraordinary races knew how to hide themselves, those extraordinary creatures didn't know either.

At least three hundred extraordinary beings appeared in Free City that day.

There are flocks of giant whale-headed birds at the Qi Qin Swimming Pool, various extraordinary insects that have taken over Central Park, iron-feathered eagles that nest on skyscrapers, and phantom antelopes that perform antelope leaps on overpasses...

The most outrageous of them all was a black iron five-star armored rhinoceros that was over four meters tall and over seven meters long, which ran wildly on Wall Street in Manhattan.

This thing is incredibly strong and impervious to bullets and blades; even a sniper rifle shot at it will send sparks flying! And every time it lands, it's like a mini-earthquake, shattering the windows of shops and buildings all over the street.

The road was riddled with cracks with every step, and all the vehicles on it, big and small, would be overturned and crushed!

The screams and cries of the pedestrians only fueled its temper, making it extremely ferocious!

This behemoth is like a heavy truck, its nose puffing out white smoke like a train, speeding through the streets and demolishing everything in its path. Who could stand it? You're lucky you didn't pee right in your pants!

The Mysterious Bureau dispatched five large psionic mechanical bodies of Black Iron 5 stars, but they almost couldn't control them.

They destroyed three of them, and it took them more than two hours to finally kill it.

The surrounding area was full of tall buildings, and countless people must have been hiding and watching the whole thing in fear.

This is practically on TV.

Colt must have felt so bad at that moment, he almost ripped out a handful of hair!

However, this was just one side dish for today, and such side dishes have been served continuously throughout the day.

A suburban farm was taken over by a group of mischievous sprites. The farmer was stripped down to his underwear and hung at the door, while the woman of the house was thrown into a cesspool. The malicious sprites ate everything from chickens to ducks, and even rode off on sheep, maliciously scattering seeds of extraordinary plants along the way!

A group of agents in black suits were chasing each other in bulletproof jeeps through the wilderness.

Although those elves weren't particularly strong, they all possessed various strange abilities. Three hours had passed, and they still hadn't caught one; instead, three jeeps had overturned...

A group of werewolves who had sought refuge in the neighboring area got into a fight with the local werewolf gang.

The vampire gang are just sycophants of the vampire clan. Compared to the werewolves' simple minds, the vampires are much more developed in modern society.

They even funded the establishment of many medical and biological laboratories, and have shares in many large hospitals, blood banks, film and television companies, and artificial blood companies.

Moreover, they are well aware of the importance of ideology, and they go to great lengths to bribe or entice some people among humans to glorify the image of vampires through literature, film and television and other means.

Things like "the noble young master of the night," "the nobleman of the night," and "Count Dracula is a devoted lover."

In reality, vampires are incredibly ugly when they reveal their true forms!

They even went so far as to distort the truth, claiming that triangular, upturned eyes are incredibly ugly, yet some scoundrels still defended them, citing things like aesthetic freedom and high-level aesthetics.
