Is it really normal to contain these anomalies?

She's keeping this kid stable.

This is not a big problem, but looking at the man in front of her, little Angela's golden eyes flashed with a hint of melancholy and helplessness.

How did he do it?

Once again, she seemed to see the same thing as she had seen so many times in her memory—he once again stared expressionlessly at the anomaly that he should not have been able to handle alone.

"Boss, I'm just worried..."

Once again, standing beside him, little Angela said softly.

Just like in that world, she didn't want to stop it, but she didn't give up reminding him either.

But similarly, what happened next was similar to what she remembered...

"I know. I'll take care of it."

Bai Yu interrupted her again.

After hearing this, little Angela's beautiful eyelashes dropped slightly by a few millimeters at an imperceptible speed.

"Yeah……?"

"It seems that no matter which world you are in, you remain the same as before..."

In her heart, little Angela smiled helplessly, but she did not say the second half of her words.

She lowered her eyes and secretly touched the little girl in her arms with her fingers.

'I really envy you.'

Little Angela sighed again.

She had always known what was at the end of the thread, but she had never imagined that the story would be so close to what happened in that world.

【Dawn】? 【Noon】?

If only this kind of existence was really just at this level.

But given the current state of the World Devourer, it is not impossible that the result of the failure of this battle will eventually evolve into the world's "Midnight".

……

Ok……

However, in this world where Bai Yu is still alive, midnight does not come easily.

Angela saw Bai Yu walk into the rainy night.

She still chose to believe.

……

"Aijia, when I was training you, did you remember the content about the test in the booklet?"

"You mean the management manuals that the training department used to send out? You even marked them with 'tests' that might not be useful?"

"Yes."

At this moment, Bai Yu and Aijia were walking quickly on the abandoned streets.

Not far from them was the mysterious tombstone with its fangs bared at the end of the street.

At a glance, Bai Yu understood that as a Terraria existence, the Demon Altar was influenced by the city to some extent.

Just like everything you see in the middle of the night, the entire street was corrupted beyond recognition, and creatures and tentacles in the shadows were wriggling in the moist yet silent air... Even for any military employee who had spent 20 days in the Brain Company, all of this would still be shocking.

but now.

Bai Yu just gave Aijia a final explanation of what he was about to do.

"how do you want to do it?"

"Just like what the Director needs us to do at Lobotomy—chop it up."

Aika guessed that he, with his calm eyes but a hint of bloodshot, probably simply classified the thing in front of him as a test and suppression of the headquarters of the Brain Lobe Corporation.

Even though the threat level of this thing may not be lower than the difficulty of suppressing the two tests in the game, [Spiral of the End] and [Myth of God].

But now, in his view, this existence was not real.

After all... it doesn't belong to the world it lives in.

"I'll leave the surrounding tentacles and corrupted creatures to you. Don't let them disturb me."

As Bai Yu spoke, he kicked his legs casually, and his level 4 strength allowed him to easily jump onto the nearby wall that had not yet completely collapsed.

And with just this final instruction, he rushed into the dilapidated neighborhood alone on the rainy night.

It’s crazy…

Aijia saw that almost the next second after Bai Yu moved, as the inscription on the dark altar flickered, the space under his feet disappeared, and a huge, thorny purple tentacle swept over from it.

Getting hit by a giant tentacle like that is no joke.

Anyone can die, and the smell of corruption is enough to destroy everything...

"Me too, let's get to work."

Keaijia was not worried about Baiyu.

She spun the azure lever-action rifle in her hand, then turned her head and pointed the muzzle at the countless corrupted creatures nearby with almost calmness.

The blue bullet solidified in the palm of her other free hand.

And there is no need to elaborate on what to do next.

boom!

However, the sound of her pulling the trigger and the sound of another Lobotomy Corporation employee stomping on the ground from the shadows occurred almost simultaneously.

"She's also eager to join the battle between you and me."

"After all, that's the junior she likes. She must be very angry about you hurting her."

Listening to the movements behind him, watching the shadows and runes rapidly enlarge in his eyes.

Bai Yu pulled out the bandaged sword and slashed at the countless inscriptions that appeared.

Should I really say that they are worthy of being my seniors?

Such behavior will only cause the same explosion to occur again.

The corrupted wind continued to howl, and at the same time, an even louder explosion occurred in the radius of the original altar.

The World Devourer and its altar tentacles continued to sway.

It seemed as if he was mocking the adventurer who was lost in the smoke and dust.

but……

Wait until the smoke settles.

The employee in the suit did not disappear.

"It's a shame, but Corruption, there will only be you and me here."

Bai Yu shook the crow feather sword in his hand as if nothing had happened.

And in the air, the swaying bandage even showed signs of falling off...

321

Chapter 321 Many people were watching from the shadows.

really.

Lobotomy Corporation, this company never recruits mentally normal employees.

Bai Yu twisted his wrist, and the calm expression on his face seemed to indicate that he hadn't noticed that the joints of his palm where he held the knife had actually been left with many dark scars due to the shock just now...

These are the result of excessive corrosion and erosion.

Logically speaking, these few seconds should be enough for his skin to rot, turning him into a classic corrupted slave...

However, the physical injuries did not develop to that extent.

It was really difficult for him to describe in words how he felt at the moment.

The pain did not cause much severe pain in his body, and Bai Yu's body began to move again.

Only this time, his movements were even faster than before.

The judge slammed the altar hard again.

Countless crow feathers opened and closed in the air, brushing against the corrupted inscriptions, yet emitting the sharp, violent whistling sound that only superalloys rub against each other could produce...

But even though Bai Yu heard the sound that almost pierced his eardrums, his heart remained calm.

The hand holding the sword only felt an extremely real tremor, and apart from the raindrops, the only sound he could be aware of was probably the sound of his own heartbeat.

Every confrontation would cause the blue explosion and aftermath to spread far away.

But he never stopped.

Yes……

Before he knew it, black crow feathers had grown out of the injured flesh and blood on his body.

【Name: Bai Yu.

Position: Employee (Training Department)

Level: 5.

Courage: 4 Life: 400/438.

Caution: 4 Spirit: 397/446.

Self-discipline: 4.

Justice: 5.

【…】

【Status: EGO erosion】

Is it erosion?

Erosion means that one's own color has been covered by the color of EGO, and one has completely lost oneself... This is the reason for the EGO classification. People who are not strong enough in their hearts are not worthy of using EGO.

But Bai Yu didn't really think that he was being corrupted.

After repeated confrontations, his abnormal pupils could still clearly see that this world before him was not the one they lived in...

He felt as if he were back in the village he and Moses had first scouted. His gaze penetrated the altar before him, even through the dark clouds of the rainy night on the horizon, reaching the starry sky—the presence in the city sky seemed to greet him.

"This is more than just the power of justice..."

Bai Yu felt the same clarity as when he was in the Construction Department, but he held the power in his hands even tighter.

In the collision on the rainy night, the blue aftermath of the soul repeatedly illuminated and passed through his face, a face that was so calm that it was almost terrifying.

Perhaps, it's just like he said before.

This is not something to worry about.

This was merely a standoff between a Lobotomy Corporation employee and Him, and it wouldn't end until one side was completely defeated...

……

"Justice... This is a sign of awakening to Bo Meng."

"Although it's unexpected, that person... is the stationmaster, right?"

“怎么回事，我们不是只是来回收被K公司带走的0-41-714和Z-106-741的吗？世界线重叠了？有谁再去看看休谟指数？！”

"Who knows! I told you this K Company branch has serious problems. They can't even use the TT4 protocol... I wonder which group of brainless divine hunters released the World Devourer."

"..."

Whispers appeared in the corrupt land.

But even Aijia, who was not far away, didn't notice all this.

In another ruin on the same rainy night, several neatly dressed unknown soldiers were standing on the corrupted land and watching.
