Chapter 648: Is the Mother Goddess Qi Yu's mom?

Mother Goddess! Please grant us power!

Mother Goddess! Save us!

Mother Goddess! Let me be your dog!!!!

Do you think these losers can still be saved?

This is a large-scale sacrificial scene; it has been like this since Zhang Jie arrived. Now he points at this group of devout people, with Lei Na and Qi Yu beside him.

The person he was speaking to was a senior investigator drenched in sweat.

Zhang... Chief Zhang Jie, these people show no contamination above the threshold.

This only shows they've been bewitched by something; they haven't reached the point of extermination...

Zhang Jie curled his lips. Really, all sorts of divine nonsense exist. Being the Mother Goddess's dog—do you even hear what you're saying?

Under high-pressure survival conditions, religious-type organizations easily arise; in most cases, as long as they aren't cults, the Investigation Bureau can't be bothered to intervene.

After all, this helps solidify human will, at least giving them something to rely on—why not?

But this is obviously a cult now!!!

Wait, Chief! Anyone who gets close around here will be assimilated!

The one who said he wanted to be the Mother Goddess's dog is our captain!

Zhang Jie:....

A bunch of divine people!

He ignored the senior investigator's warning and walked straight in; in an instant, he saw the so-called Mother Goddess.

Embrace me...

How does this thing look so much like Qi Yu?

Zhang Jie muttered to himself; this woman before him had a better figure than Qi Yu and was more mature.

Well, putting it plainly, she's just like Qi Yu's mother.

Master!

Come out quickly!!!

Qi Yu's voice sounded from behind; Zhang Jie stepped out and casually grabbed a resident.

That person instantly returned to normal the moment they went out, losing all previous devotion and leaving only fear.

Hmm, it seems we just need to bring people out.

Master! A huge group of mimics is coming over there!

This isn't Star Bridge District but the already-destroyed outer area; these humans, for some reason, weren't killed but were raised by the mimics like a flock of sheep here.

Faced with the endless oncoming anomalies, Zhang Jie calmly raised the living shotgun, fired one shot, and cleared the screen with one key.

None of the residents here have died; they've all been raised by the mimics as a flock of believers.

This is news transmitted from the other chiefs.

Zhang Jie was thinking, while Qi Yu, for some reason, stared blankly at the surroundings.

Those mimics, after being smashed by Zhang Jie's shotgun, did not completely disappear.

Most of their bodies were vaporized, but the remainder turned into white bodily fluid that seeped into the ground.

This is exactly the same as her situation back then.

Qi Yu?

Qi Yu!

Ah! Master, did you call me?

What are you spacing out for? Keep up.

Oh oh!

The group continued forward into the depths; during this time, Lei Na remained silent while Qi Yu pondered things in a daze, making Zhang Jie unaccustomed to it.

You two, what are you doing? Why aren't you speaking?

Ah! Teacher, I'll get closer to you!

You're not allowed!!!!

Qi Yu instantly caught on to the keyword and shouted loudly, while Lei Na pouted and retreated.

As it turned out, Lei Na had been observing the two of them, seizing every opportunity; whenever Qi Yu wasn't paying attention, she would move in.

Lei Na didn't want to either—who made her unable to control herself?

"Lei Na, Lei Na, you need to step up!"

"Saying I won't disturb the teacher's life, then I won't disturb!"

Lei Na puffed her cheeks and walked away a bit, then...

Five minutes later, she approached again, but this time, without making a loud fuss, she didn't draw Qi Yu's attention.

Teacher, what did you have for lunch today?

I ate a weight-loss meal.

Teacher, you're not fat either?

You even have abs.

Lei Na chatted with Zhang Jie off and on like that, but Qi Yu simply didn't notice.

"What's up with this girl?"

Zhang Jie wondered; because Lei Na was chatting aimlessly, his thoughts began to scatter as well.

Teacher, may I touch your abs?

Mm, go ahead and touch.

Huh? Not exchanging!

When Zhang Jie realized something was off, Lei Na had already reached out and touched it, not knowing where she got such boldness.

Lei! Na!!!

Qi Yu, whose sixth sense was steadily triggered, instantly saw this scene, her lungs nearly bursting from anger.

What are you two doing! Lei Na! If you don't want that hand, you can feed it to me—I'll help you eat it!!!

Lei Na hastily pulled her hand back, while Qi Yu was picked up by Old Zhang just like a kitten.

Stop messing around with the watermelon rind, spill it—what are you actually thinking?

Qi Yu's struggling motion suddenly stopped, and she suddenly began to ponder.

Mother goddess....

What the heck???

I feel like I might have a connection with that mother goddess...

A connection?

Zhang Jie frowned, seeing human-made altars cropping up everywhere on the roadside; could Qi Yu have been affected by this?

No, Master, I feel that the mother goddess... and I share a bloodline connection.

WTF?

Zhang Jie was startled; I just said the mother goddess was like Qi Yu's mom, but I was only speaking casually!

Who made you actually become someone's mom?

Zhang Jie had no idea, but Qi Yu was still pondering.

Mas... Master.

If I say I'm actually not human, would you accept it?

Zhang Jie gave a look like 'look at this clown'; isn't it already settled whether you're human or not?

What!!! Senior Qi Yu, you're actually not human?!

Zhang Jie once again showed a 'what the heck' expression.

Well, there's no need to go overboard with the praise....

Hmph! No matter how sweet you talk, I won't hand over the Master to you!!!

Zhang Jie:....

Is this the point?

I... I might really not be anything good...

Qi Yu clasped her hands together, anxiously looking at Zhang Jie.

I... am not what you think...

All right, all right. Even if you're just a watermelon bug, you're still my Qi Yu.

Master....

Um, seniors, although I don't want to break this ambiguous atmosphere, it seems we might be in trouble.

Over there... it looks like a huge swarm of Insect disaster people???

What thing? Insect disaster people?
