Chapter 680: He's really handsome!

Do as you see fit.

Zhang Jie tossed off a remark and left right away; his attitude was already clear—there's no way to let you all just slip away scot-free.

Either team up with Lao Zhang to oppose an unjust future, or keep loafing around waiting to die.

After Zhang Jie left, the Forbidden Permits erupted into a fiercely intense argument; some said they didn't need Zhang Jie at all, they could handle it themselves, while others suggested simply ganging up seven-to-one to get rid of him.

In short, nobody said how to cooperate with the opposing side.

Qi Yu, hidden in the dark, watched this scene and couldn't help but sneer.

"Master, it's truly a waste that you and this lot are of the same kind."

"Qi Yu, don't forget what you promised me—you're not allowed to think about fleeing with that man."

Qi Yu remained silent; if Zhang Jie had just agreed, she would indeed have done so—come clean outright and then elope.

But it didn't succeed, did it?

"Blow up all these ships so they can't get out!"

"Heh heh heh heh!"

The Mother Goddess's maniacal laugh left Qi Yu utterly speechless; this thing has become increasingly abstract ever since it followed her.

Aren't you the lofty Mother Goddess? How can you act like a brat? Even Qi Yu knows there's no point in doing this.

Um, well, it's still necessary.

Qi Yu eventually changed her mind and, while those forbiddens were leaving, she wantonly destroyed the surrounding ships.

"Hiss, this thing is really hard."

Meanwhile, Zhang Jie had already exited the interior of the Anomaly Bureau, deep underground over two hundred layers; who knows what shameful secrets they still hide?

Talking about escaping this place is just overthinking; it's simply impossible.

If we let them go, these things will blast a hole in the eardrums, and then what do we do when the outside stuff gets in?

"Tsk! Damn it! I forgot to tamper with those ships!"

Zhang Jie regretted it deeply, secretly wondering how to sneak back and punch a few holes in those ships.

Little did he know, Qi Yu had already taken care of all that for him.

"Tsk, let's see how things go."

In the laboratory he himself set up, word came of new good news, urging Zhang Jie to return and receive their report.

Not long after, a sharp explosive roar erupted from some forbidden deep underground over two hundred levels...

"Not bad, the exotic material has been preliminarily extracted."

"When can we mass-produce it?"

Researcher:?

"No, Zhang Jie Forbidden... you... are you really still sane?"

"The raw material for this is your blood!"

If this is mass-produced, it will mean draining Zhang Jie's blood heavily; by then they might literally bleed him to death.

Then the question arises: why can Si Luo mass-produce it in the future?

"What about clones? Use clones as the raw material."

"Zhang Jie Forbidden, you personally banned this; we're not allowed to use methods that cross the ethical line."

"We can use clones, but...."

Zhang Jie scratched his head, pulling out a few strands of black-and-white hair, feeling very worried.

Now, is there really any need to continue with so-called ethics?

If he does that, he'll become the next Si Luo, which itself negates everything he's practiced in the past.

"Let's just do this for now; small-scale mass production is enough."

"First study how to quickly spread the contamination, and go all out to overcome it."

Zhang Jie said, then once again contributed five hundred milliliters of blood to the laboratory, instantly feeling dizzy and light-headed.

"Let Lei Na prepare some more blood-tonic."

Zhang Jie is a bit exhausted; this body of his feels like it won't last much longer.

To break through as a Legendary Investigator, we need to do it ASAP, but the problem is he currently has no clue.

"Forbidden!"

"Forbidden! Anomaly! The anomaly has descended from Jade Star!"

"It's one of the three gods of the anomaly! A mutation!"

Zhang Jie's eyes narrowed, he threw on his coat, and rushed straight out.

At that moment, Lei Na happened to walk in carrying a pot of chicken soup; she gazed at the cloaked figure in midair, and her eyes glittered with strange colors.

He's really handsome!

Lei Na added a sentence in her heart, silently put the pot of soup on the table, and obediently waited for Zhang Jie to return.

Zhang Jie gazed at the incessantly descending figure in the sky, pulled out his living shotgun, and with a bang, a blazing hot beam of light instantly pierced the heavens.

Looking again at the living shotgun in Zhang Jie's hand, it had now become a massive contraption nearly two meters long.

Rather than call it a living shotgun, it's more like a mobile artillery platform.

From the sky came a dizzying whisper; countless humans clutched their ears, bleeding from seven orifices, but Zhang Jie merely furrowed his brows and fired a second blast.

As the clouds cleared, the wailing grew closer, and a thing resembling a soft-spined sea urchin appeared before their eyes.

Zhang Jie's body suddenly dropped a lot, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

This isn't some omen of contamination; it's a normal physiological reaction of a person.

That thing still had black sludge dripping continuously; Zhang Jie's two seemingly terrifying attacks actually hardly injured the opponent.

「.... 」

「Big trouble. 」

「This chicken soup probably has to be drunk cold. 」

Zhang Jie suddenly uttered this for no reason, and a strand of his hair turned silver-white again.

「Round two, start! 」

「You are not allowed to go! 」

「Don't make me say it again! You! Must! Not! Go! 」

Qi Yu stood on a high building, fingers gripping the railing tightly, eyes fixed on the figure in the sky without blinking.

The Mother Goddess does not allow her to go, but she wants to.

Below, countless mimics have inherited everything of this city; like normal humans, they have divided occupations and classes.

They perfectly inherited everything of humanity, or perhaps, perfectly plundered everything of humanity.

Zhang Jie fought there, blood-soaked, while she commanded the mimics to devour his territory.

By then, when Zhang Jie knows the truth, will he...?

「Don't look, that bunch of old things is coming. 」

「What's most important for you now is to keep charging in for me! 」

「..... 」

「Good. 」
