Based on the plot he had watched, he realized that this place should be near the former Tokyo, Japan, and he followed the road in his memory.

Xia Zhi stood still, and soon a pair of jet-black wings grew from her back.

He flapped his wings and flew into the sky. The Gastrea he encountered along the way regarded Xia Zhi as one of their own and did not attack him.

Soon, Xia Zhi arrived at the outskirts of the Tokyo area and saw the giant stone monument that surrounded the Tokyo area in the distance.

These megaliths are made of stacked blocks of holmium metal.

The magnetic field formed by metallic holmium has the effect of inhibiting the regenerative ability of gastrulans below level five, and is naturally abhorred by gastrulans, who will not approach it.

Safe zones around the world are all similar structures surrounded by holmium monoliths.

After the summer solstice landed, it entered the magnetic field range of the giant stone monument, but it did not feel anything.

"So I am now at least a Level 5 Gastrea."

The fifth level is the highest level known to Gastrea, and there are only eleven of them in the world, known as the twelve zodiac signs.

Taurus and Virgo were eliminated before, so there are now nine left.

Along the border line where the monolith meets the Great Stone, in an area with the weakest magnetic field and a slight chance of encountering Gastrea, highly polluting factories have been built.

Huge chimneys shot straight into the sky, spewing out large amounts of gray, yellow, or black smoke and dust; the PM levels were unknown.

The weaker, cursed children who weren't chosen by the international Initiator oversight body live here.

In terms of cruelty, the living conditions of the Demonic Sect are not much better than those of the cursed children.

On the one hand, the cursed children are all little girls, no more than ten years old, with no fighting ability.

On the other hand, because the gastritis virus in their bodies could exceed 50% at any time, turning them into gastrulators is like having a time bomb strapped to their bodies. They are on the verge of life and death every day, yet they are hated by countless people because of their identity.

For many, the cursed child isn't even considered human.

Few people care about the crimes committed against cursed children, whether it be verbal abuse, physical assault, or even bestial acts.

Sometimes, in the shadows, law enforcement officers in the Tokyo area can transform themselves into perpetrators of the cursed children.

These cursed children have no ability to climb up the social ladder and can only eke out a living in the lowest rungs of the Tokyo area.

Due to food shortages, some of the cursed children wander into the Tokyo area to beg and steal.

Very few of them managed to return to the outer areas alive; most of them ended up as small, pitiful corpses.

"Therefore, the cursed children who grow up in this twisted and hateful environment are all born demonic cultivators!"

Like Rentaro Satomi, give them food, teach them to study, and let them forget the evil in people's hearts?

Then they were wiped out by a single bomb?

No, no!

Without a doubt, this world where Gastrea exists is a chaotic one!

It may look like a beautiful display of flowers, but it's actually like a set of dominoes that will collapse with just a gentle push!

In chaotic times, only by relying on oneself and possessing sufficient power can one survive!

Although these cursed children were abandoned by the International Initiator Watch, it was because their purity was insufficient and the methods were incorrect!

The secret techniques of flesh-and-blood cultivators are sufficient to make up for this shortcoming.

Moreover, the limits of this world are limited. The resources consumed by these cursed children are negligible for Xia Zhi now.

Chapter 219 Display Methods

After the summer solstice entered the outskirts of Tokyo, some cursed children hidden in dilapidated buildings and half-collapsed ruins poked their heads out or stood up, looking at him with a numb and indifferent expression.

The atmosphere between Xia Zhi and them was completely out of place, and it looked rather eerie.

But when they noticed Xia Zhi's blood-red eyes, just like theirs, the cursed children all looked surprised.

Is it possible that, besides them, there are other people in this world who are born with red eyes?

Because Xia Zhi is male and quite old, they do not consider him to be one of their own.

Xia Zhi was able to sense through infrared vision that more than twenty cursed children were living on the path she had walked for only three minutes.

This proves that there are quite a few cursed children.

With a slight reduction in strength, Xia Zhi stomped her right foot hard on the ground.

boom!

It sounded like a crane hitting the ground. With Xia Zhi's kick, a loud crash followed, and a huge spiderweb-like crack appeared in the ground.

Many of the cursed children were awakened and frantically left their dilapidated homes, running to the open space.

Then Xia Zhi stomped her foot down again.

boom!

boom!

After being stomped on three times, a large hole appeared under Xia Zhi's feet, more than 30 centimeters deep and more than one meter in diameter.

Some of the surrounding ruins collapsed with a loud crash due to the strong tremors.

At least a third of the cursed children’s homes were destroyed by the summer solstice, leaving them looking bewildered.

Where will we find food and clothes next?

A pair of black wings extended from behind Xia Zhi.

Without enough food, the gastritis within the cursed children will further erode in order to combat hunger.

Many cursed children who are about to starve to death eventually undergo mutations.

Just like the summer solstice, a part of the body first transforms into a Gastrea.

In this situation, the cursed children still retain some sense of self.

They will not stay to harm their companions, but will actively leave this place and then become Gastrea.

But Xia Zhi showed no signs of leaving.

The cursed children around them looked frightened.

Driven by the instinct for survival, they began to run away.

Summer Solstice spreads its dark wings and takes flight into the sky.

He looked down at the cursed children, showing no sign of losing control, and raised his right hand, speaking loudly.

"Do you want to have the same power as me? Do you want to have plenty of food to eat and very warm clothes to wear?"

"Come with me if you want. I'll teach you how to survive better in this cruel world!"

Naturally, Xia Zhi used some pheromone hypnosis techniques during this process.

The cursed children were all little girls.

Even though they have experienced the cruelty and indifference of the world, they still subconsciously stop in their tracks when they hear this temptation.

A cursed child stopped.

She hesitated for a moment, then turned around, slowly walked up to Xia Zhi, raised her innocent red eyes, and asked Xia Zhi.

"Can you feed me? I haven't eaten for three days."

She touched her belly and said in a very calm tone, as if it were a common occurrence.

"At first it made a gurgling sound, but now it's making a hissing sound. Some of the older girls say that this means it's about to become a Gastrea."

Upon hearing this, Xia Zhi landed and gently stroked the child's face.

"Don't be afraid, let me see."

His right index finger extended, transforming into a tentacle, and reached into the child's mouth.

This finger, like a gastroscope, carefully probed inside her body.

The cursed children found a place to hide and decided to observe the situation first.

Summer solstice discovered that the gastrulatory virus in the child's body was indeed in an active state.

It looks like it's approaching the 50% threshold.

If I don't eat again, it'll probably be within the next few days.

He withdrew his fingers, patted the head of the child who was struggling to suppress his nausea, and spoke to the children around him.

"Anyone else feeling like they're about to transform? Come on over here."

Then three more cursed children emerged from their companions.

Xia Zhi stretched out his hands, and the four fingers of his left hand fell onto his right hand.

On the summer solstice, the four fingers were placed in front of the children, while the left hand rapidly grew back.

"One for each person, eat it."

The cursed children looked at the summer solstice for a while and then shook their heads.

"Big brother, we don't eat people."

"You can't eat people."

"Mr. Matsuzaki said that no matter how hungry you are, you should not eat people. Nor should you eat gastrulation animals."

Xia Zhi didn't say much, and directly put her fingers into the mouths of the four children.

"I'm stronger than you, so I can force you to do this. If you want to stop me, you'll have to become stronger than me!"

Soon, Xia Zhi's four fingers automatically turned into liquid and flowed down the children's throats.

The process is the same.

First, his fingers will activate the gastrulatory virus in the children's bodies.

The four children mutated rapidly, turning into a giant moth over two meters long, a similarly plump green caterpillar, a large, fat penguin, and a hamster of similarly large size.

The four Gastrea instinctively tried to attack the children around them, but Xia Zhi extended four tentacles from her body and restrained them.

The cursed children around them wanted to escape, but seeing their companions, who had been transformed into Gastrea, being captured by Xia Zhi, they all stood still and cast their gazes over from afar.

After inducing the gastrulatory virus, the next step is to combat and control it.

"Squeak! Squeak squeak squeak!"

"Goo-ooh goo-ooh goo!"

The four gastrulators struggled desperately, but could not break free.

A few minutes later, the change began.

The four Gastrea showed signs of pain, their bodies twisting and convulsing wildly.

Their bodies began to shrink, and right before the eyes of more than a dozen cursed children, they transformed back into human form.

Σ(⊙▽⊙"a

The cursed children were stunned!

After transforming back into human form, all four children showed traces of their Gastrea past to varying degrees.

Moth Girl grew a pair of wings from her back, Hamster Girl grew a pair of sharp claws, Caterpillar Girl sneezed a few times and spat out several mouthfuls of silk, and Penguin Girl's arms developed blade-like black bony fins.

At the same time, their rationality returned.

"It's so cold."

"Very hungry."

"Sir, could you help us find some clothes?"

As their bodies grow larger, their clothes will naturally tear.

At this moment, one of the cursed children ran home and brought out his clothes.

They formed a circle around Xia Zhi, looking at him with expectant eyes.

"Although I don't know who this person is, he can transform into a Gastrea companion and then back!"

A cursed child, no more than six or seven years old, ran over and cautiously asked Xia Zhi.
