Chapter 640: Evil God

After finishing the thunder super large fries, Zhang Jie dove headfirst into the polluted area.

No matter what happens outside, it has nothing to do with him; all he needs to do is give his all to become chief!

Before leaving, Zhang Jie also packed several burgers, because there was no way—rice and such are hard to heat.

Besides, what he wants is deeper pollution, higher! More intense pollution!!!

Zhang Jie estimated that a super intensity of roughly 100w would be enough to trigger his promotion to chief.

What he didn't know was that the external upheaval was far more than this; even the false accusation against him counts as a minor matter.

The real danger had long been hidden in the planet that humanity had long lost—Cloud Star.

Cloud Star, named after the planet's beautiful pink clouds, was in the past a place everyone dreamed of living.

Such a beautiful planet was indeed the first to suffer pollution; humanity resisted bitterly for 45 years, but ultimately the entire line fell, and they retreated to Azure Star.

And now, this beautiful planet, the one named for its pink clouds, is currently coated layer upon layer with a black substance.

Even the clouds have been contaminated, turning black; the whole planet now exudes an ominous darkness.

Well, putting it bluntly, it's like a clean neighborhood girl being defiled by a yellow-haired delinquent.

Who knows what horrifying things could be bred on this planet; under routine monitoring, the pollution peak there reaches at least over ten million!

This is no longer just super intensity; it's super-super-super-super-super-super intensity.

What does this level of contamination mean? If you put a pure-blooded human there and take a breath, they'd ascend on the spot and directly become an S-Rank Anomaly.

Not an exaggeration—indeed, it's conservative; a million intensity is enough to trigger Zhang Jie's promotion to chief, and ten million—just one breath would even have Zhang Jie ascending on the spot.

And given this situation, heaven knows what horrors could be bred up there, but on the second day after Zhang Jie entered the deep polluted zone of Azure Star, the Anomaly Bureau's contained object told people the answer.

"Evil God."

A Forbidden Permit holder gazed at the deciphered content, his eyes filled with solemnity.

This is a sequential contained object, something foreseen by the 'Omen'.

Whenever the Omen issues a warning, it perfectly predicts disasters, but it never tells you when or where they will occur.

Even, some disasters are spaced decades apart, while others only a few days.

"Evil God...."

"There's a wolf ahead and a tiger behind..."

This world is truly terrible; he is the first of the conservatives, but...

No way, the situation is too dire; he can no longer persuade his colleagues to uphold so-called humanity.

"Is there really a Legendary Investigator in this world?"

No one knows the answer, because no one has ever truly resided in this realm.

Only a Legendary Investigator—if he exists, everything will be readily solved.

The prophecy says the Legendary Investigator will eventually die at the hands of the Mimic, but... how long after will that be?

None of these have any leads yet, and now an Evil God has popped up.

He rubbed his temples, habitually opened his phone to check the news.

"??"

"The youngest Elite Sentinel, the talent most likely to become the next chief, yet is the mastermind behind the outer zone's destruction?"

"That's a bit too much nonsense, isn't it?"

Then he looked at the poster—Anomaly Bureau official...

"Sigh."

He grew even more worried...

"Rumors are flying everywhere outside, all kinds of outrageous ones; the Anomaly Bureau, to flush you out, is leaving no stone unturned."

"Whether it's the main spreader of the Mimic, or a human sinner, anything can be linked to you."

"Ceng Tian sent you to Azure Star; aside from you, him, and the receiving staff, no one else knows this, and the Anomaly Bureau never expected that the person they desperately wanted to find is no longer on this planet."

"For these things, those most affected are likely the people who know you well, especially your family..."

"Although you reported your safety to them before leaving, but... so much time has passed, they still don't know how you are."

"They don't even know whether you have any problems at all...."

"....."

"No way, I've asked everyone I should; no one can help us."

His father spoke first, his worry turning his hair white.

And Zhang Shuo remained silent, merely wrapping bandages around his wrist over and over.

He was already an Elite Sentinel; he thought this matter would be resolved quickly, but he didn't expect even the chief to be arrested.

Heh, he thought the Elite Sentinel could solve most problems, but lacking even the ability to protect his own cellmate.

The one suffering most is Zhang Yan—Zhang Jie isn't here, and Qi Yu isn't either.

She has no friends; she spent all day revolving around Zhang Jie, resulting in now not even having someone to talk to.

"I... I'll go appeal again for a while."

"Xiao Yan, relying on others is ultimately not advisable."

Zhang Yan is now considered the weakest in the family, but compared to others, her talent is already quite good.

A Senior Investigator of her age is already extremely rare, but facing this situation, she still falls short.

"What can I do...."

"I..."

"Online they say that Qi Yu kid was... smashed."

"In short, I don't believe it."

The worst part is that they can't do anything at all.

"On this side, you successfully found the nearby spot where pollution is most concentrated; you feel your cells cheering, your body roaring— to you, the deadly pollution is nothing less than the sweetest tonic!"

"Even Qi Yu, who can treat pollution as food, can't stand waiting outside anymore, while you continue to absorb this pollution as if it were sweet rain."

"You genuinely doubt whether you're even human— pollution is truly too abstract; why is it that only you can absorb it?"

"What you don't know is that Qi Yu can absorb pollution not because of her innate talent, but because she drank your blood."

"Your consciousness expands along with your growing strength, your will increasing... as if some invisible shackles are gradually breaking."

"Snap! It feels as if a string in your head has suddenly snapped!"

"In an instant, without need for training, enlightenment, or tempering, your will itself underwent complete reshaping! The so-called method of Ceng Tian is utterly useless here."

"Level 5 will! Breakthrough!!!"

"Meanwhile, at the polar region of Cloud Star, a pupil that spans the entire North Pole snaps open; if anyone could see it now, they would discover..."

"What it's staring at is precisely your direction!"
