Chapter 587: Having seen you, what can you do?

Huff.... so full so full...

Are you full, bro?

Half full...

Ya he? Still can make you hungry? Keep eating! Eat until full!

Zhang Jie rubbed his stomach, weird, he still knows his own appetite, this time it's like a bottomless pit!

Zhang Jie didn't know, but who cares! Just eat!

Soon after, Master Zhang finally finished eating, and older sister's belly was obviously swollen, looks like she also ate a lot.

Passing the public restroom, older sister suddenly felt something, covered her stomach and headed to the restroom.

Bro! I'm going for a bit! I'll be back soon! Wait for me a moment!

Hey!

Zhang Jie reached out, watching older sister rush into the restroom in a hurry, feeling helpless, he couldn't possibly follow her into the restroom to protect her, could he?

Hopefully older sister won't encounter any danger just using the restroom....

Zhang Jie is really afraid now that older sister might encounter some monster.

While he was thinking, a rustling sound came from the small thicket beside the restroom, immediately raising Zhang Jie's alertness.

A writhing figure slowly emerged.....

Look at me, look at me, look at me!!!

It's an anomaly!

A very familiar anomaly.

That figure gradually approached, with strange screams echoing in his ears, but this time Zhang Jie just watched the figure slowly draw near.

Look at me!!!???

The other's shrill scream suddenly halted, turning into confusion.

Hmm, having seen you, what can you do?

Zhang Jie just stared into its eyes like that, and the monster seemed dazed, locking gazes with him.

It seemed to be wondering why the human before it hadn't turned into its kind.

Zhang Jie didn't retreat but advanced, staring at it, he could feel a contamination constantly trying to assimilate him, yet his body chewed it up like a spicy snack.

That contamination, which was deadly upon touch, was like a chick to Zhang Jie.

In his life, he had faced anomalies four times directly, and three of those were related to the painful distortion before him.

Do you still think you can threaten me?

Zhang Jie smirked contemptuously, while the painful distortion before him continued to stare wide-eyed, grinning weirdly to make itself look terrifying.

But such behavior, in Zhang Jie's presence, appeared utterly ridiculous.

Heh, truly laughable, I was actually dominated by such a laughable thing throughout my childhood....

This world is like playing a horror game; at the start, you face an unknown world, unknown strangeness, the dangers that come with it, and the death of your peers—fear follows you like a shadow.

But if, in this game, you obtain enough information, gain the ability to kill monsters—a knife, or rather a gun.

And the investigator's will level is that gun, a gun capable of killing anomalies!

This is also why Zhang Jie dares to face it head-on: on one hand he possesses will level, on the other hand he had already confronted it as a child.

And yet he still survived?

Life entry 'Will Steadfast'—in effect!

The next moment, a flushing sound came from Zhang Jie's ears—older sister must have finished using the restroom.

And he no longer needed to dilly-dally.

His palm suddenly grabbed the ridiculous face before him, immense force transmitted, the other's human skull was squeezed, emitting a creaking sound.

Can't crush it? Normal, a human skull needs at least three hundred kilograms of force to be crushed.

Doesn't matter, Zhang Jie switched his attack strategy, reverting to his previous means, and smashed the opponent's skull onto the ground.

When Zhang Yan came out of the restroom, all he saw was Zhang Jie washing his hands.

Why are you washing your hands?

I also used the restroom.

Oh.

Zhang Jie chuckled, flicking the water droplets from his hand toward older sister's face.

Oh no! What are you doing! So dirty!

(Not finished, to be continued later)

Older sister, utterly disgusted, wiped her face and walked out of the public restroom, roughhousing with Zhang Jie.

Huh?

Her nose twitched; she seemed to smell the scent of blood....

Let's go, older sister, in case we encounter an anomaly, that wouldn't be good.

Pah pah pah, why say such unlucky words!

Having encountered two anomalies in a row within a day, this makes you feel a bit out of the ordinary; you don't know the cause of this—whether it's because you awakened your will, or the world is getting worse.

But, no matter what, you already have the path to grow stronger; the road ahead will be your moment to shine!

In the blink of an eye, the day to report the next day has arrived; you can't wait to start researching the combat power you possess.

Ordinary Blade... are you sure it's the lowest-grade anomaly?

Zhang Jie casually sliced the household iron pot in half with this blade; older sister let out a sharp explosive sound, then kicked him out of the room.

Ordinary Blade can easily cut metal, and it's extremely handy to use; yet this thing is actually the lowest-grade anomaly.

Is it really that my older sister has such good taste, or is it that the high-grade abnormal body is just that badass?

And....

Zhang Jie shamelessly squeezed into the room, took a few slaps from his sister, but felt no pain or itch.

He returned to his own room, looked at himself in the mirror, and activated a special vision unique to him.

Indeed, his body was different now; thick black substance coiled around him, just like what covered his older brother's body back then.

Since awakening his will, the world he sees has become completely different—though the change isn't huge, he can now see a 'facial pattern' on everyone.

At this moment, he wore a mask of intertwined gold and red on his face, its pattern resembling operatic elements, forming a stark contrast with the black substance on his body.

"Gold... what does it represent?"

The gold lines on his mask aren't particularly dazzling; they're a pale gold, looking like fluorescence.

And his older sister also had a mask—one with blush, upturned eye corners, and a rosy lip color.

"Hmm.... what a strange feeling."

Before, when he saw those strange, writhing things, Zhang Jie only felt nauseous; now, however, he finds them interesting.

That fist manual surrounded by twisted tentacles was indeed useful, but this made Zhang Jie even more curious about what the essence of 'transcendence' really is.

"Little Jie! Hurry up and eat! After you finish, you're supposed to go register!"

"Okay!"

Zhang Jie responded with a sound, withdrew his vision, everything returned to normal, but he already had a vague suspicion in his heart.

The essence of humanity's 'transcendent' power nowadays might just be pollution!

Fearing pollution, controlling pollution, transcending pollution—this might very well be humanity's transcendent ability.

However... Zhang Jie doesn't feel darkness; with different vision and angle, the appearance of things changes.

Perhaps... this power isn't evil; maybe it's just that humanity can't bear it?

Zhang Jie constantly feels that his current thoughts and will are extraordinarily resolute.
