Chapter 589: Insect-limbed Girl

Hey! Xiao Yan is calling you!

Your younger brother is here again, spicy!

Where? Where?

As they spoke, a girl was the first to flop onto the windowsill and look down, instantly noticing Zhang Jie's extraordinary bearing.

Really!

Let me look, let me look!

Next, four more heads squeezed out from this tiny window.

Wow! Xiao Yan, your younger brother looks good... really suits my taste!

Exactly! He's already an investigator!

You five! No looking!!!

Zhang Yan, like a frizzed-up cat, grabbed her roommates' shoulder straps one by one and pulled them back, and the few people instantly broke into a scuffle.

Yo yo yo! The brother complex is kicking in! Hahaha don't scratch!!!

Exactly! Don't let the good water flow to outsiders' fields! Your younger brother is so cute, might as well let the sisters have a bargain!

You guys, don't even think about it!

The older sister guarded the food, let out a fierce exhale, and only after a moment, with disheveled hair, poked her head out.

Coming!

Tch, dead brother-complex.

Tch, dead brother-complex!

Tch! Dead brother-complex!!

The roommates turned into broken records, constantly complaining about Zhang Yan, but deep down they had already started scheming how to connect with Zhang Jie.

Just control, just control! If you're capable, go give birth to a younger brother yourselves!

Give birth to a younger brother?

That's a son!

I should have said that earlier!!

Zhang Yan truly didn't want to deal with these lively troublemakers, and was also relieved that her small dorm had no scheming factions, nor any situation of six people forming nine groups.

Everyone is equally lascivious....

In other words, a room full of big yellow girls.

At this moment, Zhang Yan had already come downstairs, looking at her younger brother who was more than a head taller than her, nodding in satisfaction.

No wonder that bunch of little hooves are all thinking about you!

She hadn't particularly noticed before, but her younger brother had unknowingly become this handsome.

He lacked the frivolous swagger of yellow-haired Xu Sheng, nor the delicate aura of a weak little puppy; all he had was an ordinary, earnest vigor.

His spine was straight, his whole person like a sword about to burst forth with cold light, but precisely this proper uprightness easily gives rise to some... cough, bad thoughts.

For example, what would such a proper person be like if they became improper?

Whether it's being improper toward oneself or being improper toward him, it's a topic that really sparks the imagination.

? What are you saying, older sister?

Nothing, boys need to be careful! When out and about, protect yourself!

What greeted her was Zhang Jie's speechless dead-fish eyes.

Sis, you're saying this to someone who can kill a C-rank anomaly with bare hands?

Zhang Yan:....

Unnecessary worry about you!

She worried about her younger brother's emotional intelligence.

Sitting on Zhang Jie's small motorbike, Zhang Yan caught in her peripheral vision that not far away, her several roommates' looks of disdain mixed with envy, so in front of them she vengefully rubbed Zhang Jie's back hard twice.

The character meaning 'well' rose from the heads of those roommates who had come just to watch the excitement; they waved their fists, their small mouths chattering, looking like they should be scolding something quite unpleasant.

However, Zhang Yan didn't care, and instead became even more brazen, rubbing her face against Zhang Jie's back.

Sis, don't get powder on my uniform.

Drive your car!

Oh....

Leaving the university, along this stretch of road, Zhang Jie didn't see any more anomalies; but that was fine, he could properly discuss that matter with his older sister.

Older sister, do you remember when Mom went on a mission?

Mom?

Zhang Yan froze for a moment, as if constantly searching her memory for that name, but there was no response for a long while.

Zhang Jie's heart sank bit by bit; he knew... he was done for....

Oh Mom, Mom... it seems like...

June 9, 2011.

Oh yeah yeah yeah! How could I forget that?

It seemed she doubted whether her own mind was normal; Zhang Yan annoyedly patted her.

She had lived too carefree, to the point that she forgot the hardships she had endured.

This isn't your fault, older sister.

Zhang Jie pondered for a moment, then began to explain everything to Zhang Yan, including the results of his investigation.

The time we have to settle this matter.... seems not much.

What about you, Lao Di! Have you been affected!

Zhang Jie shook his head; he was not affected.

Wow.... Is this the supernatural power that knows no taboo?

Her willpower level is also quickly approaching level one; soon she will be able to go on missions with Lao Di.

Although it's a university, the school actually still encourages students to pair up with field operatives from the Anomaly Bureau to carry out missions.

Zhang Yan has already decided that once she gains willpower and obtains supernatural power, she will definitely go out on missions with Zhang Jie.

Now Lao Di is already stronger than her!

I will continue investigating this matter; don't be scared, Lao Jie.

A certain containment facility.....

Hand over.

Target status?

Normal.

Looking at the insect-limbed girl covered in bruises from being beaten at his feet, he hung up the communicator.

What are you staring at!

A roar startled the little thing, making it flinch and curl into the crook of its own arm.

Who could know that this bruised little thing was actually a mass of flesh without any consciousness just a few years ago?

In the past two years, after she ate three people, she has been carefully cultivated.

Her contamination gradually subsided, her form slowly approached human, and her temperament grew ever gentler.

This had nothing to do with the hope of saving humanity that the Chief Investigator spoke of; consequently, interest in her gradually waned.

The Ultimate Overseer abandoned her cultivation, treating her as an ordinary containment object, because aside from her initial aggressiveness, she never attacked anyone afterward.

Even.... being beaten.

You guys! Monsters!

Why do you have to look like a human! Why do you have to look so much like one!!!

The first one to start was likewise a female investigator; before her mental breakdown, she beat this little thing, and everyone witnessed her action.

Although they clearly violated the taboo, the other party had no intention of resisting; consequently, this group became increasingly excessive.

Perhaps because of their nature, or because the contamination twisted their minds, they loathed her, repeatedly testing her limits.

Her insect limbs were shattered, her body bruised, and her cognition... gradually twisted.

She originally thought she... was a human.

She clearly remembers those few humans who treated her well; one taught her not to eat people, another taught her to feel caresses.

One person taught her what it means to be human, let her feel a mother's tenderness, and wove a lie for her....

Wasn't it said... wasn't it said I was just sick? Why.... why do they call me a monster....

What are you staring at!

The rusty knife ruthlessly slashed her body, bringing forth a dense ache.

Don't...

Looking closely at this man, he has already become somewhat abnormal.

If an experienced investigator were here, they would surely be able to tell that this thing is already abnormal, but she doesn't know, the man doesn't know, and nobody knows.

Endure!!!

This time, the knife thrust toward the chest....

Don't.....!
