A Strange Change
At first, everyone thought it was just an ordinary day.
Ejin City, although located on the edge of the continent.
However, people's lives are not much different from those in inland cities; ordinary "oxen and horses" also need to work diligently.
Traffic is extremely congested on the way to work every morning.
As Luca drove towards the factory, he noticed a newspaper stand on the side of the road. It seemed that many people were queuing up to read the newspapers and discussing something animatedly.
It was as if something major had happened!
But it meant nothing to him.
He works in a leather shoe factory, and the daily work alone leaves him exhausted.
Even if the sky were to fall, it wouldn't concern him; he just hoped to get some more rest.
"Bang!"
Because he was so sleepy, Luca didn't pay attention and bumped into the car in front of him.
Soon, several burly, tattooed men got out of the car in front and glared at him!
"Get down!"
Luca, a factory accountant, dared not provoke these guys and quickly got out of the car with a forced smile.
The burly man glanced at his thin frame and said with disdain.
"Hey, you little four-eyed guy, do you know you've crashed our car?!"
Do you know how expensive our car is?!
Luca glanced at the other truck, an eighteen-year-old pickup with all four tires worn down and each tire wobbling in a different direction, its bed filled with rust.
That collision must have removed at least a pound of rust from the other car, and my own hood was even dented in.
He fell silent for a moment.
"What!? You don't want to pay!?"
"Let me tell you, without 500,000 Jenny, I'll make sure you're covered in blood today, you believe me?!"
The other person immediately grabbed Luca by the collar, looking like he was ready to punch him if he dared to say "no"!
Luca, an honest man, had never experienced anything like this before!
Terrified, he quickly dodged, begging for mercy and offering to pay up!
But at that very moment!
"What the hell is this?!"
"Let me go! Let me go now!"
Suddenly, a terrified scream rang out from ahead!
Luca opened his eyes, staring dumbfounded at a vine with large eyes that was now tightly wrapped around him!
The remaining people wanted to help, but as soon as they made a move, they were also bound by the vines!
Not just Luca, but all the vehicles around the street stopped!
They stared in astonishment at this bizarre scene.
"I see!"
"This is the Evil's Nemesis! That's so cool! It was only mentioned in the newspapers, and it's already in use!"
A group of young people on the street suddenly exclaimed!
One of the young men, who had a camera with him, quickly snapped a picture of the scene!
Luca dared not linger and drove away in a daze.
He would occasionally glance back at the several tattooed men who were bound, his eyes gleaming slightly!
Something extraordinary seems to have appeared in this city!
This is not an isolated incident.
At a school.
"Hey! Elina, do you know that you stepped into the classroom with your left foot first today?!"
A thin girl with multiple tongue piercings and tattoos was staring at a petite girl carrying a backpack and huddled up with a cold gaze, as if she were looking at an animal.
Nearby, several girls with brightly colored hair gathered, looking at the girl with mockery.
Suddenly, the Tongue Stud Girl reached out and, with a gasp, grabbed Elina's pink hair tightly!
Their faces were close together, and she sneered.
"I hate guys like you the most. Your obedient look makes me want to vomit, you know?"
"To dare step into the classroom with your left foot is to disrespect me!"
Her face contorted as she grinned maliciously.
"Or, I'll break your leg and smear your face, turning you into a well-behaved cripple and an ugly monster, how about that?"
"Don't want!"
Elina's terrified little face was on the verge of tears as she struggled desperately.
But the other person was much fiercer than her. He grabbed her hair, pulled out a small knife from his pocket, and prepared to scratch her delicate face.
"Whoosh!"
Just then!
Suddenly the ground cracked open, and a strange vine with large eyes appeared. It moved swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, it had bound the Tongue Stud Girl tightly!
"What... what is this!?"
The Tongue Stud Girl looked shocked, then screamed in fear.
"Quickly... let me go, come here... come save me!!"
Although his accomplices were also terrified, they dared not step forward.
Because the Tongue Stud Girl's brother is a gangster's henchman, they have to consider the possibility of retaliation.
However, as soon as they stepped forward to tear at the vines, they were all bound together!
The vines seemed to extend at will, which was quite bizarre!
"Quickly... quickly, use fire!"
Someone took out a lighter, but as soon as the flame was lit, the other person's hand was tightly bound!
It felt like being entangled by a giant python in the Forest.
The more they struggled, the tighter the bindings became, and their faces turned red as if they were suffocating.
Elina collapsed to the ground.
She was stunned, staring blankly at the vines in front of her, still somewhat unable to believe what was happening.
Staring into the vine's strangely large and unique eyes, I felt no fear whatsoever.
On the contrary, it gives one a strong sense of security.
This guy... saved me...
"Thanks..."
Even though she was usually shy, she couldn't help but express her gratitude.
If it weren't for the other person, she doesn't know what would have become of her...
The vine, with its eerie, large eyes, twisted like a snake as it approached Elina. It paid no heed to the people bound behind it, as if pondering why the girl before it had thanked it.
"Ah..."
Being stared at so closely, Elina was also a little worried that the other person might attack her.
After seeing that the other party did not make any attacking moves for a while, she mustered up her courage and cautiously reached out to touch the vine.
The vine shrank its head, blinked its big eyes, as if to say, "It itches so much."
The Tongue Stud Girl, bound and powerless, complained bitterly upon witnessing this scene.
"It's you... Elina, it's you who's ruined us!"
"You wait... mmm..."
Before she could finish speaking, the vines casually sealed her mouth shut with their tendrils, causing her to choke and roll her eyes back.
Just then...
The classroom door suddenly opened.
A female teacher appeared and, upon witnessing the horrifying scene, nearly fainted from fright.
After listening to Elina's explanation.
She calmed down and said coldly.
"Elina, what are you waiting for? Tell that thing to release Pondina and the others!"
Seeing Pondina in this state, how could she, having received money, dare to let her continue to suffer like this?
Upon hearing this, Elina's expression froze.
She had placed her hopes on the teacher, but to her surprise, even the teacher didn't care about her and sided with the perpetrator.
"Hurry, hurry! They're just playing a joke on you. If this continues, Pondina will die!"
The teacher was very worried.
Elina could only shake her head; she didn't know how to get the other person to stop.
"Seriously, if this continues, you'll become a murderer, Elina!"
Elina's body trembled, and tears welled up in her eyes.
It's always like this...
She wasn't stupid, but she didn't understand...
No matter what, she was always targeted and bullied...
She just wanted to study quietly and had never bothered anyone...
Just then!
"Smack!"
A vine lashed out and struck the female teacher in the face, leaving a bloody welt that stung painfully!
The vines didn't look at her; instead, they leaned closer, their large eyes fixed on Elina.
The tears on her face reflected in her large eyes.
Elina stared blankly at the other person.
"Thank you... thank you..."
Its big eyes seemed to smile as it winked at her, then with a flick of its tail, it bound the female teacher tightly, gagging her to prevent her from making a sound.
At the same time.
Outside a secluded room.
Ian Uvogin and the others were waiting idly when, from inside the secret room, came a piercing scream.
It's Feitan, torturing Ryuk.
He extracted information from the other party about Nen Ability techniques and the mastermind behind the attack.
With Kazan and Xia handling the specifics of the city, Ian finally had some time. He knew that the person who had spoken to the female prisoner on the phone earlier would definitely come knocking on his door.
Despite what has happened these past few days.
But Ian understood that their Nen Abilities were still very weak, and they only managed to defeat the enemy by using gadgets and coordinating their attacks.
Systematic learning of Nen Abilities is imperative.
Mizaistom doesn't know when he'll fulfill his promise, so he'll have to think of another way first.
But just then...
Ian was taken aback.
If we were to say which prop he currently possesses is the most unique...
It is actually a "Justice Rope"!
Because this is the only item he has, he has used his Nen to modify it and established Contract and Restriction. No one knows what kind of changes it will undergo when it merges with the world.
He sensed a slight change in the "Justice Rope"!
What caused this?
