That afternoon, the Nanming Kingdom officially established the Special Bureau, a department specifically dedicated to dealing with supernatural monsters and disasters.
At the same time, the military and government high-ranking officials underwent a purge; all who opposed Zhu Weiliang were killed.
The newly established Special Bureau immediately drew attention from the outside world.
Far away on the other side of the continent, within the territory of the Coalition.
In the night sky above a small city named Bagenjiang, space fluctuated slightly, as if something were interfering with it.
On the streets below, several dead-drunk, blonde Caucasian men were walking.
“Brothers, have you checked the Qiandu Forum? So many people in there have awakened abilities. What fucking luck! Why haven't we awakened any?” a bearded white man said loudly.
Beside him, a 1.9-meter-tall burly man chimed in, “Exactly! How are those bastards so lucky? Even I, the number one tough guy of Bagenjiang, haven't awakened any abilities.”
“Hahaha! You two chumps actually want to awaken? If anyone's going to awaken, it'll be me, Ford!” a middle-aged man behind them shouted, holding a beer.
There were too many posts on the Qiandu Forum about people instantly gaining wealth and status after awakening their abilities.
This made them incredibly envious.
Unbeknownst to them, a spatial fluctuation appeared ahead, slowly sweeping over everything in the street.
The moment the three white men saw the fluctuation, they were swept by it and vanished on the spot.
Inside another, special space, the three white men holding beer appeared.
They looked completely bewildered as they stared at the suddenly changed surroundings.
“What the fuck? What is this godforsaken place?” the bearded man couldn't help but exclaim.
He looked at the yellow walls ahead. A dozen meters away was a three-way intersection. The ceiling and floor were both yellow, and the corridor was five meters wide.
What was even stranger was that there was no light source or light bulbs here, yet the area was somehow illuminated.
The two white men beside him turned around to look. Behind them was the exact same scene, with a path leading to a left turn.
Ford pulled out his phone, and his face instantly turned pale. “There's no signal. Damn it, where on earth is this place?!”
Hearing this, the other two quickly took out their phones, only to find they had no signal either.
“Could we... have run into those man-eating monsters?” The 1.9-meter-tall burly man thought of something, and his breathing grew rapid.
Hearing this, the bearded man and Ford both looked around uneasily.
The three of them were now completely sober—scared sober.
There were also many terrifying monsters exposed on the Qiandu Forum, each one more hideous than the last.
As Ford was trembling with fear, he suddenly felt a gaze land on his back. He whipped his head around to look behind him.
A dark shadow flashed past. Ford's face instantly stiffened. “Maybe we should get moving. It feels unsafe standing here.”
He didn't dare mention a monster, fearing the thing would charge straight out.
“Yeah, let's go. I also feel like something's wrong,” the bearded man said.
Seeing both of them say this, the 1.9-meter-tall burly man could only nod. The three of them walked forward and arrived at the three-way intersection.
“Let's go left.” The bearded man looked in all three directions. They were all similar corridors, dozens of meters long.
They walked to the left. At the end of the corridor, a yellow wooden door appeared on the right.
The three exchanged glances, and the bearded man cautiously opened the door.
There was nothing unusual behind the door. It was an even larger yellow space, dozens of meters wide, with three corridors leading in different directions.
Whoosh!!! Suddenly, a strange, whistling howl echoed behind them, rapidly drawing closer.
The faces of the three men, who had been standing at the door debating whether to enter, instantly changed.
The 1.9-meter-tall burly man was the first to run inside. “Something's wrong! Run!”
Ford, who was running slower, instinctively looked back, only to see the three-way intersection they had just come from.
A two-meter-tall, pitch-black, bizarre entity had appeared. The sound was coming from its body.
The moment he looked at it, the pitch-black, bizarre entity suddenly spun around and charged at him.
Fuck! Ford's face turned white as he rushed through the door, slamming it shut behind him.
Ahead of him, the burly man and the bearded man had already pulled seven or eight meters ahead.
He saw them rush into the first corridor on the right, and he quickly followed.
But just a few meters into the corridor, two more openings appeared.
He could no longer see the others. Panicking, Ford ran down the right corridor.
Whoosh!
Behind him, the bizarre cries pursued relentlessly.
Ford had no idea how long he ran. The yellow corridors seemed endless, with large yellow spaces and intersections appearing constantly.
It wasn't until the bizarre cries behind him vanished that he finally stopped, gasping for air in a room dozens of meters high with pillars surrounding it.
Puff, puff, puff!!! The high-intensity sprinting left his face flushed red, and sweat poured off him like rain.
After resting for over ten minutes, Ford stood up to survey the surrounding space.
This place seemed a bit different from where they had first entered; oil paintings of people now hung on the walls.
How on earth do I get back?! Ford looked at the several corridor openings at the edges, despair written all over his face.
Tap! Tap!
“Ford? Ford!” Just then, a familiar voice echoed from the corridor.
Hearing the voice, Ford's face lit up with joy. It was the bearded man's voice.
He turned toward the corridor. At one of the openings, the bearded man appeared.
When the bearded man saw Ford, a smile appeared on his face. “Ford, I finally found you.”
“How did you guys run so fast? I was trying to catch up earlier...” Ford strode forward and spoke, but he choked on his words halfway through.
He stared at the bearded man. His smile was completely frozen, and his entire body felt distorted. Only up close did Ford realize how bizarre it was.
As he spoke, the bearded man in front of him suddenly melted, and a mass of black liquid pounced at Ford.
“No!!!” Ford's pupils contracted. He let out a bloodcurdling scream before being covered by the liquid, instantly falling silent.
Within this space independent of the real world, an invisible eye watched the entire process.
A living space? It contains symbiotic monsters, and its size currently exceeds a hundred kilometers, and it's still growing.
Zhao Jin pondered as he observed the space. When it first appeared, it was only a dozen kilometers wide. Within just a few hours, it had broken through a hundred kilometers. After reaching a hundred kilometers, its growth rate had slowed down.
This thing was the largest and fastest-growing supernatural entity he had observed so far.
After observing for a while, Zhao Jin's consciousness shifted away.
Since this thing was hovering over the Coalition's territory, those Coalition guys would have their hands full enjoying it.
In a coastal city of the Nanming Kingdom, inside a villa situated by the sea.
Zhao Jin opened his eyes and looked at the monster before him. Its skin was completely smooth, resembling a one-meter-long leech.
It had a single eye on its head, and Gravity was holding it down.
This was a monster mutated from Destiny Force, and it possessed some Destiny Force.
Beside this monster, a hypnotized youth, who had dozens of units of Destiny Force hovering over his head, picked up a knife and stabbed it into the monster's head.
Pfft!
The monster was killed by the youth, and some of the Sequences on its body transferred to him.
His skin became smooth. Behind the youth stood a woman holding a pistol.
When Liu Wen killed Peng Fei before, he didn't obtain any Sequence or drop any crystals. At that time, I only recorded it and didn't investigate closely. Zhao Jin glanced at the woman in front of him.
She immediately raised her pistol, aiming at the back of the youth's head.
Bang!
The bullet pierced the back of the youth's head, and he collapsed. This was true even though his own Destiny Force was already enough to be inherited.
However, that power did not transfer to the woman, and no Sequence crystal appeared.
A portion of the youth's Destiny Force went to Zhao Jin.
He watched this scene, stroking his chin.
The notebook flipped its pages automatically and began recording.
【Sequence inheritance can happen at most once; it disappears on the second transfer!】
The new-generation monsters and supernatural beings born in the world now did not have the characteristic of being inheritable upon death.
This characteristic belonged only to the targets that Zhao Jin had personally bestowed it upon.
