Chapter 661: Great Disaster

You look at me as if I've aged another year.

Don't bark like a dog.

Zhang Jie shook off Ceng Tian's hand and then asked.

How is the Evil God Star Ship?

So many days have passed, and they haven't attacked?

Ceng Tian shook his head; it's not that they didn't come attack, they've already finished the fight.

That fast? The Abnormal Bureau still has some skill.

Zhang Jie was shocked, while Ceng Tian looked as if he'd seen it all.

Do you know what a Forbidden Permit is? They've already gone beyond human limits.

Even less human than you?

More accurately, they can even be called Evil Gods.

Just by calling their names, they become aware.

That's exaggerated?

Zhang Jie was shocked; did they know about my earlier muttering and chirping at others?

Well, not that exaggerated....

Ceng Tian scratched his head; he was about to continue saying something when he suddenly noticed Zhang Jie's expression had changed.

He looked out the window, and a romantic light fell from the sky like a meteor.

Countless people watched it and made wishes, thinking it was a meteor that brought good luck.

Actually, this isn't some romantic meteor; don't forget, outside this star system everything is wrapped in a membrane of flesh—how could there be a meteor?

This is the wreckage of an Abnormal Bureau ship that was shot down and fell.

Is this what you meant by the Abnormal Bureau having finished fighting?

Ceng Tian was slapped in the face again; his face turned yellow, then blackish-red, and he couldn't say a word for a while.

Immediately after, greater danger followed as countless densely packed ships broke through the atmosphere and swooped down toward the ground; if the previous one was merely like a meteor, this one is a real meteor.

The outside world began to descend into chaos; Zhang Jie and Ceng Tian exchanged a glance, and their figures vanished instantly.

This fleet attack came extremely suddenly; humanity suffered a massive blow, with over thirty percent of cities destroyed, giving the mimics an excellent space to develop.

But you have no time to worry about all that; you keep shooting down the Evil God Star Ships, and after these ships are destroyed, they leave no useful wreckage, merely turning into a black colloidal substance that stays on the ground.

This colloidal substance, whether it touches humans or abnormalities, quickly covers them, turning them into abnormalities; you soon realized this was also part of the enemy's plan.

The Abnormal Bureau reacted quickly, but there was nothing they could do—the disaster area was too vast to properly resolve; the already on-edge humans were stimulated by this, and many had mental breakdowns, turning mad into abnormalities.

For a time, the whole world became extremely chaotic, with abnormalities rampant, crises everywhere, many cities forced to contract—this is the true great disaster.

Fortunately, in the Star Bridge District you and Ceng Tian are present, the disaster situation is slightly less severe; you can feel the pollution concentration rising, almost reaching half of the low pollution value.

Under these conditions, over fifty percent of infants show deformities, and the Abnormal Bureau has had to deploy more artificial humans to make up for societal shortages.

Do you know? Actually, most of the Abnormal Bureau's staff are infants born normally.

Artificial humans look no different from humans, but in reality they lack consciousness and thought by far more than a little bit.

Ceng Tian gazed at the miserable state inside the nursery, speaking sadly.

As an idealist, he once embraced a great dream and entered the world of investigators.

Until he became chief, his worldview was shattered completely overnight.

Chief Investigator has never been a simple role, and the higher-ups have never been easy to deal with.

Deploying artificial humans, large-scale memory alteration, inhumane experiments—each is a tremendous pressure on him.

Zhang Jie, meanwhile, sported dark circles under his eyes, looking as if he hadn't slept well.

What can be done about it? I can't resolve this.

Zhang Jie is truly exhausted; such a great disaster has happened before a few times, and he could have stopped it—worst case, just rewind twice—but this time he really is powerless.

Really, completely exhausted.

You should rest a bit, or you might drop dead.

Zhang Jie has been busy outside for two days, shooting down Evil God Star Ships, killing abnormalities, and dealing with the monsters formed from that black slime, without even returning home once.

Ceng Tian at least rested a while, but Zhang Jie truly hasn't had a moment's break.

I'll just let it be.

Compared to me, you are truly noble.

Ceng Tian sighed and shook his head; what he's saying now comes straight from the heart.

If he had experienced pollution and come close to becoming a test subject, he would definitely not continue serving the Abnormal Bureau.

Of course, Zhang Jie thinks the same; just looking at Ceng Tian makes him overthink.

Don't misunderstand; I'm just trying to maintain a normal life.

Zhang Jie shrugged; he's not working for the Abnormal Bureau, he just wants to keep everything around him in good shape.

Whether it's normal life, love, or family affection, he wants to maintain all of it.

No matter how you say it, you saved the Star Bridge District.

Zhang Jie didn't deny it again; he's now wondering what that little guy Qi Yu is up to.

Before he knew it, it seemed like almost a week had passed since he last saw Qi Yu; has the little bug girl woven him new underwear?

Is she still angry? What exactly did she want to say back then? Has she been eating properly?

Indeed, we can't wait any longer; we must break through to the Forbidden Permit as soon as possible, so we can do more things quickly.

Then you help me keep an eye on things.

I squinted.

Okay.

But, it seems someone doesn't want Zhang Jie to rest.

With another loud bang, Master Zhang, who had just lain down, sat up again.

Not another mess again!

Ceng Tian looked at his subordinate's report, wanting to speak but stopping.

It's Si Luo; his underground biological laboratory that he secretly built in the Star Bridge District has gone out of control.

They said it was a mimic attack somewhere.

Superiors demand we handle it immediately.

Ah damn, I fuck your mother!

Old Zhang really can't help swearing now; you damn well better finish the experiment!

Everything's a mess everywhere now; you causing trouble isn't just messing around! What the hell are you doing!

Um, do you want to rest? I'll go.

Zhang Jie glanced at Ceng Tian; he's currently his only chief teammate—don't fucking die.

Forget it, I'll go with you....

Speaking of which, there's no conspiracy here; it's purely that the test subjects there have mutated.

You think it's over? No no no, this is just the beginning; the big stuff is still to come.

Remember that prophecy? No one knows exactly how it will happen, but the Legendary Investigator will ultimately lose everything he doesn't cherish, and he will be killed by a mimic.

What exactly is this thing? No one knows.
