Chapter 617: City Annihilation
Let us welcome! The person from Star Bridge District who can't handle pressure! The strongest user with no taboos! The strictest father of abnormality!
Zhang Jie!!!
At the scene of the Abnormal Bureau's promotion ceremony, Zhang Jie made a shining appearance before everyone's eyes.
After pacifying most abnormalities in the neighboring city, he was formally nominated by headquarters, and at tonight's ceremony his promotion to Elite Sentinel was officially announced.
The flashbulbs clicked, Zhang Jie stood on the podium, looking at the colleagues below from the Abnormal Bureau, feeling utterly awesome.
Qi Yu was also below, currently staring at Zhang Jie in a daze, her insect limbs twitching, not knowing what she was thinking.
Beside her were her older sister and Qiu Yu, they were excitedly discussing something, after getting along for so long, the Abnormal Bureau had fully accepted Qi Yu.
No one doubted her insect wings or the big skirt she always wore; Zhang Jie had shaped her into a pitiful creature infected by abnormality, the kind that starves all day from not enough food.
Thus, the love-overflowing girls in the Abnormal Bureau brought food to Qi Yu every day; Qi Yu, being socially anxious in front of others, couldn't refuse, and thus her belly grew from junk food.
Cough... just being overfilled.
"Now please, our strictest father of abnormality, receive the honor exclusive to Elite Sentinels!"
Whenever an Abnormal Bureau staff member is promoted to Elite Sentinel, they are granted a supernatural item: the Elite Monitor is a gemstone-made eye, the Lamp Keeper is a crystal lamp, and the Aberration Containment Master is a paired sword.
As for investigators, they receive a beautifully covered investigator's notebook, said to be the experience left by past seniors.
Furthermore, it is also a symbol of identity.
Looking at the peaceful scene below, Zhang Jie raised his notebook high, signifying that he had officially entered the high ranks of the Abnormal Bureau.
"Thank you for your support!"
"Next! I will with my team! Completely purge a high-intensity forbidden zone!"
"I will fight for the future of humanity!"
Cheers came from below; for every forbidden zone eliminated, human safety increases greatly. Although clearing forbidden zones is difficult, with Zhang Jie's power of no taboos, it is entirely possible.
Zhang Jie's thriving appearance was livestreamed by the Abnormal Bureau across the entire network; know that this is not just an abnormal branch bureau, but the Abnormal Bureau of the whole planet!
Below there were not only Zhang Jie's family, but also various big shots! Zhang Jie even saw Chief Investigator Ceng Tian, and a group of big shots he didn't know.
When his special vision opened, Zhang Jie almost died on the spot; he saw behind those big shots, the black substance resembling a pair of plump octopus hands, constantly swaying, covering the sky and earth, as if it would devour the whole world.
But their facial patterns were clearly visible, golden and sparkling, mostly yellow and red, and these two colors represent loyalty.
Well, it seems these big shots are fairly reliable, but Zhang Jie found an exception.
One of the Chief Investigators' bodies had no golden facial pattern, only the black substance that covers the sky and earth.
Zhang Jie silently memorized the Chief Investigator's facial features, and continued to carry out this promotion ceremony perfectly.
Not only were the Abnormal Bureau personnel watching his promotion, but other demons and monsters were observing him as well; coming up, there will be plenty to keep busy.
"21 years old: You reached Elite Sentinel in the youngest, fastest time for humanity; your position now stands on the same line as the Chief Director and others, and in the entire Abnormal Branch Bureau, no one can command you anymore."
"But tragedy often strikes when you least expect it; the day after your promotion ceremony ended, a large human city tens of thousands of kilometers from Star Bridge District was completely overrun, the whole city turned into a petri dish for abnormality."
"This time, three Elite Sentinels died, and countless Abnormal Bureau staff members didn't even leave corpses."
"After investigation, headquarters concluded that this city annihilation disaster was entirely caused by mimicry; this kind of abnormality was instantly classified as the highest-danger existence."
"And at the same time, Qi Yu also showed abnormal symptoms."
"Mas... Master!"
"Headache..."
Qi Yu pushed open Zhang Jie's door in the middle of the night, holding a small pillow, standing outside pitifully.
"... What are you doing..."
Zhang Jie felt a headache; being an Elite Sentinel wasn't that easy, after a tiring day he finally got to sleep, only to be woken up by Qi Yu.
"Headache...."
Without a word, she walked to Zhang Jie's bedside, plopped down, lay straight beside him, and shoved her head into his hand.
Since realizing Zhang Jie was her own kind (after being duped), Qi Yu has increasingly lacked boundaries, which actually makes sense.
When a solitary abnormal being gains a companion, that person becomes unique to her.
Zhang Jie casually pinched her ear wings; they were soft and elastic.
"Speak, what's wrong?"
"Headache... and... and my head is filled with many other people's memories...."
Zhang Jie narrowed his eyes, forced himself up to turn on the lamp, looked at Qi Yu curled up in pain on one side, and worriedly touched her head.
"Specifically?"
"I was... eating people... in... eating abnormality..."
"Eating ice cream, eating steak... eating..."
"Stop stop stop..."
Zhang Jie hurriedly stopped her, saying where all this went; although he knew Qi Yu's background might not be simple, he never thought in a bad direction.
"Ugh... anyway... that's not me!"
Qi Yu wanted to vomit at the thought of that bloody scene in her memory, so she leaned her body further into Zhang Jie's embrace.
"My lord...."
"Stay with me while I rest!"
Her head no longer hurt as it did at first, but still many strange pieces of information kept coming, making her feel awful.
However, curled up in Zhang Jie's arm crook, she felt very safe...
Qi Yu inhaled Zhang Jie's calming scent and slowly drifted into sleep... unaware that her true kin were being massacred and slaughtered in countless public places.
Pheromones accompanied death, falling into the air; in the minds of countless kin, they played scenes clearer than Qi Yu's thoughts.
They wailed, they devoured abnormality, growing stronger constantly.
Under tremendous terrifying pressure, the most terrifying kin... began to be born....
(Ginseng is really unlucky, today Ginseng was happily wearing big underwear to go eat barbecue with Lin Ran, but after sitting down and just taking a bite, got bitten by a rabid dog, that thing was like a zombie, after biting me I just died, don't know whose it is)
(In short, Ginseng was just injecting immune protein, directly injecting subcutaneously, so fucking painful.... )
