“Saint Shield City has been too lively these past few days. The anomaly at the abandoned factory a couple of days ago still hasn't been explained, and now there's another underground laboratory incident today?”
“My Aunt’s husband’s second uncle’s third brother-in-law is from the Special Operations Departnt. I heard him say that this matter is related to a certain contestant from Dragonflower Country. She accidentally discovered the laboratory under the spa, and she was also the one who blew the entire building sky-high.”
“A Dragonflower Country contestant? Couldn’t be Ming Shen, could it?”
“I’m telling you, so of Mingxi’s fans, why don’t you just say that all the aweso things in the world were done by Mingxi? How shaless!”
“I can’t even guess? Others can guess, but we Ming Shen fans aren’t allowed to guess?”
“Heh heh, Mingxi doesn’t deserve it.”
“Everyone upstairs, stop arguing. And so people, stop being so sarcastic. I’ve already received accurate information: that person is indeed Mingxi from Dragonflower Country.”
“You say accurate information, and it’s accurate information? Well, I say I am the law of the universe, waving my hand to summon clouds, and lifting my foot to bring rain.”
“Stubborn, so hard-mouthed idiots can continue to be stubborn.”
“Has no one noticed that Mingxi didn’t co to the competition today? Do you think there’s a possibility that she was restricted in her movents because she discovered the underground laboratory, and that’s why she couldn’t participate in today’s competition?”
“No wonder!”
“I was wondering why Mingxi would drop out of a match for no reason.”
“......”
The internet was abuzz.
Down in the underground space, however, things remained harmonious.
Soone rushed over to report to Xiao Li Country’s Foreign Minister. Although he tried his best to keep his voice down, everyone present, every single person and every single entity, heard him say: “Sir, Atuka suddenly died violently.”
Foreign Minister Tadam’s expression changed dramatically: “What happened? Didn’t I tell you to keep a close eye on her? How could she suddenly die? Did soone torture her?”
“No! She died before anything was done to her, and... and...”
The person stamred, looking as if he found it difficult to speak.
Tadam sternly said, “Speak directly if you have sothing to say. What’s with all this wimpishness?!”
“...Atuka seed to be possessed. She actually tore off her own flesh, piece by piece, and then swallowed it like sashimi, from her abdon to her chest, then from her chest to her thighs.
Piece by piece, strip by strip.
Just like that hand-shredded chicken, tearing and eating as she went.
She was ruthless, lost in it, without a care for her life... Ugh...”
As the person spoke, his face turned pale, as if he were the one who had just eaten a plate of ‘hand-shredded chicken’.
Other listeners: “...”
Damn it, they could never look at hand-shredded chicken the sa way again.
“Oh, and our people tried to stop her, but she attacked them ferociously. What’s even stranger is that extraordinary skills had no effect on her; she seed to be immune to all skills.”
The expressions of the Xiao Li Country officials grew even uglier.
Atuka’s condition was clearly abnormal.
Tadam looked at Mingxi, who was listening intently with an expressionless face, “Miss Ming, do you have any thoughts on this matter?”
“No.”
Mingxi shook her head.
Actually, she probably, should, possibly knew.
The woman nad Atuka had been afflicted with a «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» Twin Soul Curse by that at Tumor Monster.
What is a Twin Soul Curse?
It ans that after the caster dies, their final obsession will be projected onto the cursed person, who will then stubbornly and unyieldingly carry it out, even if the universe is destroyed.
Mingxi wasn't sure what complicated relationship of love, hate, or predatory nature existed between the person nad Julian inside the at Tumor Monster and Atuka, but don't be fooled by how the at Tumor Monster had been protecting Atuka.
However, the keen and intelligent Mingxi had long since seen through everything, understanding the at Tumor Monster’s intentions perfectly.
Ahem.
Actually, it was because her ntal power had been constantly extended, and she had noticed the at Tumor Monster secretly making a move against Atuka.
Plus, with the omniscient Guangguang, how could Mingxi not know what the at Tumor Monster had done to Atuka?
Upon learning of the at Tumor Monster’s actions, Mingxi knew that the at Tumor Monster, or Julian, had long harbored a desire to die.
After all, the Twin Soul Curse only erupts when the caster dies.
And Atuka dying in such a tragic manner showed how deep Julian’s hatred for her was.
Tearing herself apart, swallowing herself alive.
Throughout the entire process, her consciousness was perfectly clear, watching herself eat herself.
This was also why Mingxi had not made a move against that woman who pretended to be a green tea while being a red tea, from beginning to end.
Compared to being killed by her, dying in such a chaotic way was clearly more fitting for what that woman Atuka had done.
But Mingxi didn't want to tell anyone about this.
The at Tumor Monster's thods were too powerful, and the more powerful it was, the more it would fuel the ambitions of certain people.
Then there would be a second, a third, and countless more at Tumor Monsters.
Mingxi never hesitated to imagine the worst of human nature.
Driven by self-interest, human desires are endless.
Otherwise, how could people like Herqi·Tiger and Lippert, who cooperated with Descent, have appeared?
And how could an organization as devoid of humanity as Descent have survived for a thousand years?
“Xiao Xi, I found out so gossip about Atuka Lawrence and Julian Hertz. Want to hear it?”
Shen Linhua leaned closer to Mingxi.
Without waiting for Mingxi’s response, he began to chatter.
It turned out that Atuka Lawrence and Julian Hertz were indeed lovers, but both were formidable individuals.
The forr was a high-IQ gold-digger who disguised herself as a wealthy family’s young lady to climb the social ladder, and the latter was a ‘phoenix man’ who, through his ‘intelligence,’ gradually escaped his humble origins in a remote small town.
One beautiful, sunny day, they t and, with remarkable understanding, ‘fell in love at first sight’.
At the ti, Julian was already married, but he had cleverly turned his wife into a vegetable.
So, there were no obstacles to their love.
At this point, Julian had just been recruited into Descent. With his intelligence, he overca many challenges and successfully beca an assistant to a boss in the organization who conducted alienation experints, beginning to co into contact with those inhuman alienation experints.
His mindset gradually changed.
He began conducting related experints in secret, and his first target was his original wife, who died tragically not long after.
As the experints repeatedly failed, experintal materials beca increasingly difficult to obtain, especially the ‘human head’ material which he considered most important and crucial.
“...Then he set his sights on his lover, Atuka Lawrence, but he didn’t know that Atuka Lawrence had already discovered his abnormality and was aware of his secret dealings.
And as a doctor of biology, she also developed a strong interest in alienation experints.
When she realized Julian was going to make a move on her, she acted preemptively, turned Julian into experintal material, and then joined this underground laboratory.”
Although Shen Linhua had no talent for storytelling, the story of these two was so explosive that Mingxi was stunned as she listened.
