"Dad, when did our family photo change!"
The woman looked at the family photo on the wall in terror, shockingly discovering an extra person in it - her ex-boyfriend.
The woman's parents looked up and were instantly unable to contain their panic.
"How could we change this? Besides,Xu Yingfu, we've never approved of your relationship with him. Even if we were to change it, it wouldn't be him!"
"Could it be his doing?!"
Hearing this,
The woman couldn't help but recall a few days ago, when disaster struck, her boyfriend wanted to move his family over here, but she heartlessly refused.
Because.
After the disaster, she truly realized that in this world, only the Transcendents could protect her family; thus, she decisively chose to break up.
Last night, she suddenly received a call from her ex-boyfriend, saying that he had become a Transcendent, and they could be together forever.
But the woman scoffed at this.
If you're going to lie, at least come up with a better reason. An All Heavens Reflecting True Crystal is a billion; there's no way Xu Yingfu, a poor guy like him, could afford it.
And now, such a bizarre occurrence suddenly happened.
It's hard to believe there's no connection between the two.
Immediately, she picked up her father's phone, dialed her ex-boyfriend's number, only to horrifically discover a familiar ringtone echoing in the room.
The woman's parents, even more terrified, pointed at the family photo on the wall, tremblingly said, "The ringtone seems to be coming from there."
For a moment.
Extreme fear enveloped the family's hearts.
The woman frantically spoke over the phone to the Security Bureau, "I don't know what's going on, it might be my ex-boyfriend's doing, his house is on Renewal Road in Hundred Rivers District."
But the Security Bureau member, upon hearing the location Renewal Road, furrowed their brows tightly: "Miss, is it your house or your ex-boyfriend's house that's having the bizarre? Be clear, Renewal Road was already flooded by a pitch-black river last night, nearly thousands have perished!"
What!?
Renewal Road was flooded?
Then her ex-boyfriend...
Could he be dead!?
If he's dead, he's dead, but why is he hauntingly appearing in the family photo at home!
As she was pondering this mystery, her father's phone connected the call.
The woman, frenzied, yelled into the phone, "Xu Yingfu, are you dead or not! Is it you causing trouble in my house!"
However, on the other end of the phone, there was only an emotionless whisper echoing back.
"Xiao Qian, I've become a Transcendent, we can be together forever..."
...
It seems unbeknownst to anyone,
The bizarre seems to have erupted completely in this city.
Countless calls for help have overwhelmed the Security Bureau lines, and even if they managed to connect, they had no manpower to handle it, only able to report to the City Lord's Mansion.
Watching the bizarre reports coming in like snowflakes.
Shen Chan and her two sisters felt their scalps tingling.
The entire city seemed to be spiraling out of control!
As if foreboding some disaster is about to descend.
"Have you analyzed why these bizarre instances suddenly spiraled out of control to this extent?"
Shen Chan and her two sisters arrived at the analysis department, where people were sweating profusely, working tirelessly to analyze the city's bizarre occurrences.
However.
Only after they got involved did they gain a clearer understanding of the disaster.
Human world like a hell!
The Thirteenth District is no longer a place ordinary people can stay.
An elder with gray hair and bloodshot eyes responded, "So far, 2,700-odd bizarre incidents causing civilian casualties have been reported, these incidents seem to all have one thing in common!"
"What commonality?" Shen Chan's expression was as grave as could be.
Not long ago, she had learned from her younger sister Lu Xiaohan about those individuals covering their retreat in Black Water Marsh.
Before they could even rejoice, such a drastic mutation erupted in the city, it truly is a mix of blessings and misfortunes.
"Human emotion!"
"When people's emotions spiral out of control, it's as if they summon some kind of bizarre, bringing misfortune!"
"If the chaos continues, it might brew unprecedented terror!"
Upon hearing this.
Shen Chan's eyes kintightened, rephrasing to say that it involves spiritual level power.
Awakening Level, Control Level, Overlord Level, Apostle Level, the spiritual power they touch is minimal, only the rumored Destruction Level and above will delve into spiritual level power.
Does that mean, for such a disaster, they are utterly helpless.
"Are there... any countermeasures?" For some reason, Shen Chan found herself asking this question.
Clearly, her heart had begun to panic.
The elder shook his head and said, "Perhaps try sealing the news and calming the public, it might reduce the harm caused by the bizarre."
Hearing this,
Shen Chan knew this was just a temporary fix and not a lasting solution.
Unless.
Even if she personally calmed the crowd, the effect would likely be minimal.
In the face of disaster, the status of City Lord still seemed so powerless.
But no matter what, she has to try.
"Alright, I'll hold a press conference right away to calm the citizens."
"Additionally, Xiaohan, get in touch with that Su Qi, see if he has any other solutions, since he previously mentioned the bizarre, perhaps he knows some of the inside story about their eruption."
Upon receiving orders, Lu Xiaohan immediately dialed Su Qi's number.
Informing him about the eruption of bizarre occurrences in the city.
On the other end, upon understanding the details, Su Qi's heart tightened, indeed, the bizarre is becoming increasingly serious, and it's now beginning to threaten the lives of ordinary people.
If the situation isn't curbed.
It might brew spiritual power threatening Transcendents.
Once that happens, the Thirteenth District could become a true forbidden zone!
"While my realm doesn't deeply touch spiritual level power, there are many BUFF abilities pointing to spiritual power."
For instance, Rapid Healing, although a recovery-type Divine Skill, physical tranquility also alleviates mental stress.
There's also the Blessing of Courage, which can strengthen power and courage.
Even if it can't completely resolve the bizarre's influence, it might slow its spread.
Now, what the Thirteenth District lacks is time!
As long as the full-scale evacuation completes, no matter how perilous it becomes, he could leave at ease.
Thinking of this,
He said to Xiaoyan, "I have something to leave for a bit, hold on for ten minutes, can you manage?"
Xiaoyan, although not knowing what happened, seeing even Su Qi so solemn, clearly it was no small matter.
"Yes, even if it kills me, I won't let a single Fierce Beast escape from here!"
Hearing this.
Su Qi couldn't help but smile: "It's not that serious, if things become too difficult, don't risk it, a third of the city's population has evacuated, and the rest have distanced themselves from here, even a few getting loose won't cause much chaos, safety first."
Then, after briefing Elder Xia, he transformed into a streak of light and left the Black Water Marsh.
The citywide spiritual power.
Could it be a sign of the appearance of the critical item for the Great Fusion?
