Chapter 20: Twenty: The God from Another Dimension

Twenty: The God from Another Dimension

Wei Jiang saw the obvious change in Yu Lianyun's expression and immediately realized the female corpse had started moving again. He stood up vigilantly, and after sounding the alarm to the others, he immediately asked Yu Lianyun, "What is your situation now? Can you control it?"

"It hurts, my body wants to get off the bed," Yu Lianyun gritted her teeth and said. She felt as if her whole body was exerting force, but her injured frame could not generate power, let alone break through the mummy-like full-body plaster cast, so her body just writhed inside the cast.

Soon, He Jia'an and Li Yingqi both received the news and rushed to the scene. Seeing Yu Lianyun's face, which had become ferocious due to pain, their expressions also changed drastically.

A Xuanmi Group member dressed in black then ran into the ward and reported to He Jia'an and the others, "The corpse has undergone new changes. That flower growing in the corpse's mouth seems to be growing rapidly using the female corpse's body as nutrients, and the female corpse is decaying rapidly."

Hearing this, He Jia'an was suddenly startled, so he said in a deep voice to Li Yingqi and Wei Jiang, "I will go take a look; you stay here to protect Xiaoyu."

Li Yingqi and Wei Jiang both nodded seriously; they knew that there was no room for negotiation in such matters.

Immediately following, He Jia'an ran out the door with the member who had come to report the news, heading straight for the containment facility upstairs.

Li Yingqi turned back, looked at Yu Lianyun, who was plunged into extreme pain with her consciousness gradually becoming dull and blurred, and said sincerely, "Don't worry, no matter what happens next, we will stand by your side."

Yu Lianyun barely heard Li Yingqi's words and only after a long time gave a strained smile in return; the pain of her limbs feeling as if they were breaking apart again was truly agonizing enough to make one contort.

Urgh————

The semiconscious Yu Lianyun heard a low roar near her ear, moving from near to far, and vaguely saw two black shadows suddenly jump out from beside her, leaping out the door in an instant.

It was the two Blessing Avatars that had transformed into Yao Zhenzhen and her father! Yu Lianyun was startled, but before she could think too much, her consciousness became completely chaotic.

The moment she lost consciousness, Yu Lianyun's body suddenly moved on its own; a force from an unknown source allowed the broken-limbed Yu Lianyun to stand up again.

Li Yingqi and Wei Jiang looked horrified. The two of them had perfect tacit understanding and, without a word, pressed Yu Lianyun back onto the hospital bed on the spot. However, both of them clearly felt an abnormally huge force erupting from within Yu Lianyun's body; with their combined strength, they were actually unable to suppress a patient with severely injured limbs!?

Hearing the commotion in the ward, the guards stationed outside also rushed in immediately, and upon seeing the situation, they immediately joined Wei Jiang and Li Yingqi to suppress her.

"Holy crap, where did this little girl come from? This strength is just too much!?"

"Damn, the plaster is almost being blown apart from the inside by her."

Li Yingqi also never expected that it would now take four people working together to barely suppress the out-of-control Yu Lianyun. She gritted her teeth and shouted, "No matter what, we must control her now!"

When He Jia'an rushed to the containment facility, the lights on the entire floor had turned dark red, the power system for the whole floor was almost paralyzed, and a chill permeated the air. The smell of blood was intertwined with the air, making every breath feel like blood was rampaging through one's respiratory tract.

In the corridor ahead, over a dozen Mysterious Agents had died in horrific ways; most of their bodies were no longer recognizable as human. Distinct, sharp flower buds grew densely upon their flesh, on the verge of blooming, while vine roots wrapped around the corpses, some hanging in the air and others tangled on the ground.

"Quick, hold your breath!" He Jia'an's pupils constricted. He nimbly covered his nose and mouth, then clenched his fist and smashed open the storage box for emergency disinfectant masks mounted on the nearby wall. He took out a few masks and handed one to the young Mysterious Investigator beside him.

"H-how could it be like this? It's only been a few minutes..." The Mysterious Agent accompanying He Jia'an was incredulous. He hurriedly put on the mask, and seeing several familiar faces on the ground, he couldn't help but be filled with grief.

"Kid, calm down." He Jia'an patted the other person's back and asked, "What is your name?"

The young Mysterious Agent tried hard to regulate his breathing and replied, "Reporting to Team Leader He, I am a Mysterious Grade Mysterious Agent, Bu Gaojun."

"I am He Jia'an, Heaven-Level Mysterious Agent, Captain of the Tiger Team." He Jia'an looked at the other person through his mask and said seriously, "I am now unilaterally confirming that the situation has escalated to a Heaven-Level matter. I require your assistance and am temporarily appointing you as my temporary teammate and assistant. Can you accept this?"

"I can!" Bu Gaojun nodded; amidst his panic, there was also some excited thrill.

Tiger Team Captain He Jia'an, known as the Vulture, had solved dozens of Mysterious Grade Abnormal matters since joining the Xuanmi Group, had experienced over five Heaven-Level Abnormal matters, and had even walked away unscathed from a Heaven-Level Abnormal matter. He was a legend in the eyes of every newcomer to the Xuanmi Group.

Being able to work with He Jia'an, Bu Gaojun felt it was an honor worth dying for.

Although personality cults are undesirable, in an organization where work is tied to life and death and one often faces dangerous Abnormal matters, a certain level of worship and faith can actually exert unexpected miraculous effects when people face crises and desperate situations.

Therefore, in the Xuanmi Group organization, as long as you aren't worshipping some strange deities or overly absurd figures, everyone maintains an attitude of tacit approval and respect.

And if one worships and has faith in people within the organization, that is even less of a bad thing; the organization might even secretly help promote and propagate it.

"Let's go. I'll take the lead, and you help me watch our backs." He Jia'an stopped talking and led Bu Gaojun into this "primeval jungle" woven from flesh and modern steel.

The further down they went, the more corpses they saw. Those corpses had all died in horrific ways, yet the red Other Shore Flowers growing upon their lives were bright and beautiful.

Those were stolen splendors, taken from one vibrant, brilliant life after another.

Along the way, He Jia'an and Bu Gaojun both tried to contact the survivors on this floor as well as the main force at headquarters, but they discovered that the signal here could no longer be sent out, and they could not find any living life along the way.

"Hmm?" Just as He Jia'an was about to give up hope of finding any survivors, he suddenly discovered a Mysterious Agent who had barely managed to maintain a human form leaning against the wall in a corner of the corridor, gasping for his last breaths.

Seeing this, He Jia'an immediately ran forward and stopped when he was three steps away from the other person. "Hey, brother! Are you okay?"

It was a man in his thirties, wearing a white lab coat, looking like a member of the research department. At this moment, his chest and abdomen were exposed, and an Other Shore Flower deeply rooted in his heart was blooming sensually. The ID badge on the man's chest clothing read the man's name, "Cai Yong."

Hearing He Jia'an's voice, Cai Yong woke up faintly. When he saw the two living people, his first words were: "Quick... run quickly..."

"What exactly happened?" He Jia'an tried to remove the flower on the other person's chest, but discovered that just by touching it, Cai Yong would be in agonizing pain. Only then did he realize that the Other Shore Flower had already merged with the person's heart.

In other words, he was beyond saving.

Cai Yong was full of pain and said weakly, "This time, what came from... from another dimension is not the Three-Handed Ice Giant we know, but... but... a god we don't understand... an abnormality among abnormalities, a strangeness among strangenesses..."

After finishing this sentence, the light of wisdom in Cai Yong's eyes slowly vanished. After spitting out a mouthful of heart blood, he completely stopped breathing. Immediately following, the surface of his corpse's skin showed a dense, granular surging flow, and bright red flesh buds subsequently broke through the skin.
