Chapter 63: Playing Airplane

Yang Yi, Wei Chang'an, and Chen Chen Yushu took a plane to Wucheng City in Sichuan Province.

Wei Chang'an had a lively personality; he had originally taken the initiative to pull Yang Yi into the Awakeners group chat. This time, after Yang Yi dealt with the Brain-Eating Worms in Wuming City, Wei Chang'an had livestreamed it in the group.

"That feint of yours was brilliant! You made everyone, and even the monsters, think you had left, lowering their guard, then you suddenly snuck back to launch a surprise attack on the nest of the Brain-Sucking Beasts—oh, now called Brain-Eating Worms—wiping them all out in one net! You actually pretended to be completely helpless before; you even fooled Chen Chen Yushu and me. You're something else!"

Yang Yi smiled a bit embarrassedly. "I've had a feeling of being watched for a while. I worried the Brain-Eating Worms possessed intelligence, so to avoid revealing my intentions to it, I had to keep it from everyone."

Wei Chang'an laughed heartily. "Hey, as long as those troublesome Brain-Eating Worms are eliminated, what does that matter!"

Chen Chen Yushu gazed silently at the clouds outside the window, saying nothing to the two's conversation.

Wucheng City in Sichuan Province is a mountain city. Since ancient times, it has been foggy, with mist condensing in the mountains shrouding it for one-third of the year. However, in recent years, due to rapid development and consecutive years of GDP growth, it has become a new first-tier city.

This time, Wucheng was rated as an A-Level Hazard. The authorities attached great importance to it and immediately dispatched Awakeners from several neighboring brother provinces to provide support.

The reason Yang Yi went to Wuming City first was that a large batch of Awakeners from various other provinces had already gone to Wucheng, and the A-Level disaster in Wucheng was relatively clearer compared to Wuming City.

As soon as the plane reached the airspace above Wucheng, the city shrouded in mist faintly revealed its form, making Yang Yi unable to help but recall Misty Town.

The difference was that Misty Town was entirely covered by a thick mass of fog, whereas Wucheng had mist permeating everywhere; some places were thin, others thick, and it would flow with the wind in the mountains, not as heavy and stagnant as Misty Town.

"I heard the mutated creatures in Wucheng are also related to the mist." Wei Chang'an waved the documents in his hand. The documents briefly introduced the situation; the specific details would need to be understood in detail upon arriving in Wucheng.

Mist again...

The space connecting Misty Town to the otherworld, the layers of dried corpses surrounding the altar, the concentrated energy formed from the lives of over four thousand people on the stone chair of the altar... scene after scene floated before her eyes.

Suddenly, Yang Yi's expression shifted, and she swept her psychic power downward.

Quickly, her expression grew solemn, and she said to Wei Chang'an and Chen Chen Yushu, "There is movement in the mist below! Let's go!"

The rear door of the plane was opened quickly. Yang Yi carried the two and jumped directly out of the plane.

At a height of ten thousand feet, the three figures accelerated under gravity. Yang Yi cast a psychic shield around them, preventing the two from being unable to breathe due to the rapid airflow, but they were still so startled by this first "un-equipped high-altitude skydive" that goosebumps rose layer upon layer.

"Oh my god!" Wei Chang'an felt his heart almost stop in the weightlessness. "I... I can't breathe..."

Chen Chen Yushu's face also turned a bit pale, but he still kept his lips tightly closed, not allowing himself to show even a trace of fear.

Yang Yi said nothing. She frowned, gazing solemnly at the thick mist below, as if seeing something.

The three figures quickly approached the ground. Just before landing, Wei Chang'an and Chen Chen Yushu felt the invisible force holding them slowly increase, gradually eliminating the downward impact force generated by gravitational acceleration. Finally, they stood lightly on the ground like three leaves.

Just as they stood up, a strange black shadow in the thick mist lunged at them. If Yang Yi hadn't reacted quickly, using psychic power to press it to the ground, they would have been immediately knocked down by this black shadow.

At this moment, everything happening here finally came into view.

The appearance of this black shadow was truly bizarre; one didn't know whether to call it he, or she, or it.

It seemed to be composed of dozens of bodies of men, women, old, and young, as if hands, feet, limbs, torsos, heads, and facial features had been separated, then thrown into a washing machine drum and haphazardly stirred a few times, tossed together like a child playing with mud, finally forming this "you in me, me in you" monster.

An eye grew on the arm of one hand; next to this arm grew a foot, and on the instep of this foot, a mouth actually grew. The entire monster was formed by such misplaced, deformed human tissues.

"What kind of monster is this?" Wei Chang'an was stunned.

Just as the three were shocked by the monster's appearance, a shout came from the mist: "Don't stare at it!"

But it was already too late. The instant they saw its full form, a cold, numb feeling rose from their hearts, gradually freezing even their blood, leaving them able only to stand rigidly in place, unable to move.

At this time, the deformed monster struggled and moved, gradually breaking free from Yang Yi's psychic suppression. It crawled on the ground using several feet, arms, bellies, faces, etc., rushing toward the three at high speed.

All the eyes on the monster's body stared at them. Various mouths emitted screams, shouts, laughter, weeping, and meaningless barking. All these sounds converged, forming a mental pollution a thousand times stronger than noise.

The three were already numb all over; now, filled with this mental pollution, their minds became chaotic for a moment, losing reason, let alone how to respond.

Just as the monster lunged close to their bodies, Yang Yi shivered all over. The figure within her sea of consciousness instantly twisted. The monster seemed to sense something and actually hesitated, pausing its steps in front of them.

Taking advantage of this gap, Yang Yi regained control of her body. Her psychic power suddenly expanded in the mist, like a thousand-jin giant tripod, carrying ten thousand tons of heavy pressure, covering down from above.

All the mouths on the monster's body screamed together. Dozens of eyes, covered in bloodshot veins, stared at Yang Yi in unison, actually blocking for a moment.

Yang Yi, shaken by the cold numbness just now and worried about falling into that state again, instantly solidified her psychic power and slammed down with ten thousand tons of gravity.

The deformed monster was instantly crushed into a puddle of minced meat.

At this time, three figures ran out from the mist. Among them, a young man with a bird's nest hairstyle saw the minced meat on the ground and turned pale with shock: "Dead? It was actually killed?"

"Who did it?" a short-haired girl wearing tight jeans asked.

Leading the three was a middle-aged man. He looked at Yang Yi and the others, scanned them with his gaze, then fixed his eyes on Yang Yi, speaking in a faint tone: "Who else could it be? Of course, it's our famous 'God of Humanity'."

Yang Yi seemed to hear a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"What? Is there something wrong with this monster?" Yang Yi asked faintly. "Can't it be killed?"

"Of course not. That you were able to kill it is best." The middle-aged man forced a smile. "It has already killed thirty-six people. Anyone who sees it will have their body paralyzed. If it gets close to the body, it will fuse with them, becoming part of it. We have been hunting it for several days!"

"Yes! This thing hides in the mist and suddenly pops out to attack people! Moreover, it uses mental attacks; you can't look directly at it. Not only ordinary people, but even Awakeners will be suddenly paralyzed! It's too difficult to deal with!" said the bird's nest head.
