"Look, what is that?"
"Tsk tsk, how strange, how can there be a moon during the dayti?"
"Oh my, why is the moon red?"
A sudden clamor of noise erupted outside the breakfast shop.
Chen Yuanshan nudged Shen Zheqi angrily, the aning clear.
You’re such a big Legion Commander, if sothing happens, shouldn’t you go out and take a look?
Shen Zheqi sighed helplessly, reining in his emotions, and then finished off the remaining half bowl of tofu pudding.
"I’ve transferred the money to you, check the Celestial Net wallet." He greeted Chen Yuanshan and was about to get up and walk to the door.
At this mont, the noise outside suddenly disappeared.
Is it over? Shen Zheqi was just thinking when the door of the breakfast shop was pushed open again.
Bam!
The door slamd heavily against the wall next to it, emitting a dull and violent thud.
Lifting the curtain, a figure wearing a suit appeared at the doorway.
With shoes polished to a shiny gloss, a pristine suit and trousers, a black briefcase in his right hand... this outfit made one inevitably think of a four-word term: well-dressed corporate drone.
Shen Zheqi quickly shifted his gaze upward.
Then, he saw a scene that made his pupils quake trendously.
This man, dressed like a well-dressed corporate drone, had a neck and head that was a silver-gray salted fish head!
Especially those two pallid fish eyes on the salted fish head, eting Shen Zheqi’s in mid-air.
The grim, frightening fish head slowly opened its mouth, revealing a dark red cavity inside, filled with countless sharp, gleaming white teeth.
"Are young people nowadays playing cosplay at work?" Shen Zheqi couldn’t help but muse after collecting himself.
But the next second, the man with the salted fish head and immaculate suit suddenly raised the black briefcase in his hand and viciously swung it at Shen Zheqi.
"I don’t want to go to work, I don’t want to go to work!"
"Why must I work overti every day? Die, all of you die!"
A man’s normal voice roared from within the salted fish head, the black briefcase creating a shadowy blur as it swung.
Shen Zheqi’s expression instantly turned serious, a string of Buddha beads suddenly coalescing in his hands to block the attack from the black briefcase.
On one of the beads, a blue dark line instantly lit up, transforming into a blue light that struck the chest of the fish-headed man, blasting him backwards.
"What’s happening?"
"Has the Heaven and Earth Array failed? Why is there a mutant human at Julu Pass?"
"Is the Longevity Company launching a major offensive?"
Several questions flashed through Shen Zheqi’s mind; he said with a stern expression, "Uncle Yuan Shan, there might be danger here, you first..."
He hadn’t finished speaking when he felt a gust of wind from behind.
Without thinking, he sidestepped to dodge the attack.
A basin of scalding hot oil poured onto where Shen Zheqi had been standing, hissing as it hit the floor.
Shen Zheqi looked back, where Chen Yuanshan had been standing, but now Chen Yuanshan was gone, replaced by a humanoid creature with eight arms!
"Die!"
The humanoid monster with eight arms held various cooking utensils in each hand; pots, bowls, pans, knives, spatulas, and chopsticks had all beco its weapons.
Clattering sounds erupted.
The Buddha beads rapidly spun in Shen Zheqi’s hands, blocking the attacks in front of him.
It was then that Shen Zheqi seed to notice sothing, his eyelid twitching sharply.
He saw that this humanoid monster with eight arms was wearing the very sa kitchen apron Chen Yuanshan always wore!
Which ant that this humanoid monster was Chen Yuanshan?!
"If that salted fish head earlier could be explained as a mutant walker invasion, then Uncle Yuan Shan’s appearance certainly isn’t just a simple invasion by mutant walkers."
"What exactly is going on?!"
As Shen Zheqi thought, he briskly walked out of the breakfast shop.
At this ti, Julu Pass was already in complete chaos.
On the street, a couple who had been kissing,
The man’s body suddenly swelled like a sponge, turning into a completely orange-yellow banana shape,
While the woman expanded sideways, her whole body flattening like a round copper coin.
A little boy craving candied hawthorn,
Had seven or eight identical red heads sprouting on his own head, strung together just like candied hawthorns.
The vendor selling candied hawthorns had turned completely into a golden ingot shape, with two eyes appearing in the center of the ingot.
Such abstract scenes kept appearing on the streets of Julu Pass, constantly refreshing Shen Zheqi’s understanding of mutant phenona.
Above them, a crimson full moon hung suspended.
And at the center of the crimson full moon, a terrifyingly large eye was staring fiercely in the direction of Blue Star.
Shen Zheqi’s first reaction upon seeing this was to contact the other Legion Commanders via the Celestial Net and initiate an ergency alert, putting all Combat Spirit Contract Masters in rest phase on guard.
But as he attempted to do so, sothing else left him dumbfounded.
The Celestial Net, no response.
Although the chip implanted in the superficial layer of his brain was still there, the Celestial Net seed completely offline, unresponsive.
Being unable to use the Celestial Net was akin to being a mute with a covered mouth for Great Xia, unable to make a sound.
"Everything that’s happening should be related to the crimson moon in the sky."
As the Legion Commander of the Fourth War Zone, Shen Zheqi, although not as capable as Lin Jingxuan, was still sowhat brainy.
He rapidly analyzed in his mind, "The eye on the crimson moon is most likely the source of all this. It’s inducing aberrations in everyone."
"The reason I’m not like them is because of my talent that grants immunity to curse-type attacks!"
"Now, I need to confirm if this curse can be reversed."
With this in mind, Shen Zheqi did not hesitate to return to the breakfast shop a second ti.
The eight-ard monster, previously knocked down by the Buddha beads, was struggling to get back up.
Since it was Chen Yuanshan, Shen Zheqi held back his strength when he struck.
He hesitated no longer and ford a spell with his hands, focusing it in front of him.
The palm-sized Buddha beads suddenly grew to over a person tall, each bead’s inscribed dark lines lighting up with different symbols.
"Banish all evil, immune to all curses."
"Break for !"
The light from the Buddha beads shone on the eight-ard monster Chen Yuanshan, its previously struggling motions suddenly calming down.
Was it a success?
Seeing this, Shen Zheqi slowly released the spell he was holding, the Buddha beads ceasing their rotation, their light moving away from Chen Yuanshan.
But the next second, Chen Yuanshan suddenly opened his eyes, glaring fiercely at Shen Zheqi.
"Die for ...!"
