Tong Jian in front of Chen Yu remained in the same position she had been in while lying on the bed.
Because she had not moved at all since getting into bed.
However, the Ghost Doll seemed to have been affected. It had made more movements before, so it was now frantically rewinding, its actions looking quite comical.
Tick, tick, tick!
Chen Yu's right eye began to swell slightly.
His head also began to ache.
This meant his mental power was being consumed.
"Phew!"
After maintaining it for five minutes, Chen Yu stopped, looking somewhat astonished.
"Five minutes used up nearly half my mental power. How could that be?"
He was confused because he had tested Time Reversal and Time Fast-Forward before.
In the past, whether speeding time up or reversing it, even when using it on someone else, he could maintain it for two hours.
But when he used it on Tong Jian, it only lasted five minutes.
Why was that?
The next moment, he looked at Tong Jian's stomach. A hazy, eerie aura was emanating from within it.
"Looks like this Ghost Embryo is causing trouble. Pretty impressive. During this period, whenever I use the Ghost Pupil, the stronger the target, the greater its potential or level, or the more things I change, the faster the energy gets consumed..."
"Eating it will definitely raise my level by a lot!"
After saying that, Chen Yu picked up the knife. After informing Tong Jian, he began.
With his previous practice, Chen Yu's cuts were swift, precise, and ruthless.
He succeeded in one go!
After Tong Jian's lower abdomen was cut open by Chen Yu,
Tong Jian's whole body began to tremble. Her eyes were tightly shut, yet she never let out a scream.
It was obvious that this girl could endure pain.
He had to finish this quickly.
Chen Yu looked into Tong Jian's cut-open abdomen.
He wanted to take out the Ghost Embryo.
But the Ghost Embryo seemed to realize something and began struggling wildly inside Tong Jian's stomach!
In an instant, a great deal of blood flowed directly out of Tong Jian's abdomen!
Tong Jian's expression also became pained!
[Congratulations, you have discovered a Level 6 Anomaly, the Ghost Embryo. You really are a troublemaker. Anomalies do not come looking for you, yet you go looking for them.]
[And you even found such a powerful Anomaly. Are you really not afraid of death?]
[Perhaps this is what they mean by the fearless being afraid of those who do not value their lives?]
[...]
"Big brother, big brother, big sister is in so much pain! Big sister is hurting!"
The Ghost Doll cried out anxiously, its voice trembling with tears as it rushed over to comfort Tong Jian.
"It'll be over soon!"
Chen Yu was also dumbfounded, and panic began rising in his heart.
He had not expected the Ghost Embryo to be a Level 6 Anomaly.
No wonder his phone had frantically warned him that this Anomaly was extremely terrifying!
Moreover, the Ghost Embryo was currently struggling madly inside Tong Jian's stomach.
If this continued, every organ in Tong Jian's abdomen would be shredded!
"Damn it, stop!"
Chen Yu instinctively used the Headless Ghost Shadow.
In an instant, Chen Yu's pitch-black shadow reflected on the floor suddenly came to life and shot upright!
The shadow was completely black, and above its neck was empty. It had no head, making it look exceptionally horrifying.
The next moment!
Under Chen Yu's command, the shadow directly grabbed the Ghost Embryo that was struggling inside Tong Jian's stomach!
The darkness covering the shadow resembled tiny snakes black beyond black, crawling, spreading, and extending across the Ghost Embryo.
In less than a few seconds, the Ghost Embryo was wrapped up by the shadow, becoming a little black ball that finally went still!
Chen Yu froze slightly!
He had used the Headless Ghost Shadow instinctively to suppress the Ghost Embryo.
He had not held much hope, since the Headless Ghost Shadow was only Level 5 while the Ghost Embryo was Level 6!
[Buzz!]
[Are you surprised?]
[Then you are truly ignorant.]
[The Anomaly Era game contains countless terrifying Anomalies. Some Anomalies can even suppress Anomalies of a higher level than themselves.]
[However, this was also due to your good luck.]
[Although the Ghost Embryo is powerful, it is still in the early stages of development.]
[That is why your Headless Ghost Shadow could suppress it.]
[Be grateful.]
Seeing the lines of crimson text flickering with flames on his phone, Chen Yu finally understood how powerful the Headless Ghost Shadow was.
He tried separating his consciousness.
Then he controlled the shadow and removed the Ghost Embryo from Tong Jian's abdomen.
Drops of fresh blood ran down the Ghost Embryo.
The bedsheet was immediately soaked through with blood, while Tong Jian's face grew increasingly pale and unsightly.
He had finally gotten it out!
The instant the Ghost Embryo was removed from Tong Jian's stomach, it seemed to discover something. It sensed the unfamiliar surroundings, then began trembling violently.
It broke free from the shadow binding its body, leaped onto the bed, and tried to escape.
But Chen Yu had already blocked the surroundings with gold. Even if it grew wings, it would not be able to escape!
The gold emitted streams of golden light. In human eyes, that light was simply gold.
But in the eyes of Anomalies, it brought them endless intimidation!
It prevented them from using their Anomaly Abilities and also kept them from escaping.
"Big brother, big brother! Big sister's complexion looks terrible! Something seems to be happening to her!"
The Ghost Doll hurriedly reminded Chen Yu.
Chen Yu turned around and saw that Tong Jian had her eyes tightly shut, her face deathly pale.
He had to quickly use the Time Ghost Eye to reverse time!
He checked the time on his phone.
Exactly five minutes had passed since he began.
The next moment.
He widened his right eye.
Crimson blood vessels began frantically invading the white of his right eye, staining it with a layer of blood-red.
Those scarlet markings continued spreading toward the skin around Chen Yu's eye. The bluish-red blood vessels were like nauseating tentacles, crawling outward and taking root beneath his skin.
Blood even began overflowing from Chen Yu's eye socket!
The pupil in his right eye shifted hazily, and the next moment!
Click!
A sound like gears turning came from Chen Yu's eye.
His pupil began changing wildly, eventually turning into two clock hands, one long and one short!
Tick-tock, tick-tock!
The two hands spun rapidly and irregularly, one fast and one slow.
Finally, they stopped at exactly twelve o'clock.
Tick.
The long hand sprang backward slightly.
The short hand also retreated imperceptibly against the flow of time.
Tick, tick, tick!
Mechanical ticking sounded again and again.
The long hand spun wildly while the short hand slowly moved backward.
Before Chen Yu's eyes, Tong Jian's blood began flowing back in an unbelievable manner. The hole in her abdomen automatically healed, and even her dress fell back into place.
Tong Jian was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At last, color returned to her face.
Only, her eyes remained tightly shut.
However, her breathing had steadied. She had clearly fallen unconscious.
Time had been reversed by exactly five minutes.
Chen Yu's mental power was completely depleted as well, and beads of sweat the size of beans dripped down his face.
"Why does reversing time for her alone consume so much of my energy? The Ghost Embryo has already been removed. Could it be that this girl's constitution is different from others?"
Chen Yu wiped away his sweat and, after taking a deep breath and recovering a little, spoke.
When he had previously experimented with the Time Ghost Eye, he had used it on his roommate.
His roommate had been taking a dump. Once Chen Yu used Time Fast-Forward on him, what would normally take five minutes was over in reality in less than a second.
And after using Time Reversal, those things that had already come out could even go back in.
When he used it on those people, it consumed mental power too, but nowhere near this much.
A mere Level 6 Ghost Embryo could not possibly explain such a massive drain.
To Chen Yu, it even felt as if the Time Ghost Eye had been overloaded.
This little girl... she was clearly far from simple.
Chen Yu thought this as he wiped the blood and tears from his face.
"Big brother, why hasn't big sister woken up yet? Is she all right?"
The Ghost Doll was deeply worried about Tong Jian, while also being shocked by Chen Yu's methods!
It was an Anomaly, and even though it was not a high-level one, it could still sense the terrifying aura emanating from the Ghost Butcher Knife.
An overwhelming sense of danger!
But when Chen Yu used the Time Ghost Eye, it felt incomparably terrified!
It was a fear from the depths of its heart, like the terror of an antelope instinctively fleeing upon seeing a lion.
"She's fine. She just fell unconscious. She'll wake up after a while."
Chen Yu comforted the Ghost Doll, then took out a blanket and covered Tong Jian with it.
After taking care of everything, he finally turned his attention to the Ghost Embryo.
The Ghost Embryo was blocked by the gold and had nowhere to run.
Chen Yu grabbed the Ghost Embryo directly, opened his mouth wide, and bit down.
Rip!
The sound of flesh tearing rang out.
The Ghost Embryo was an embryo to begin with, and it was shaped like a meatball.
With that bite, blood splattered everywhere. All kinds of fluids filled Chen Yu's mouth and assaulted his taste buds.
The crisp, juicy sensation was like biting into an oversized explosive beef ball.
It was also mixed with the fishy smell of human blood and the odor of an underdeveloped balut egg.
Chen Yu usually enjoyed eating Anomalies, but this was the only time he frowned while eating one.
But he had worked hard to obtain this Ghost Embryo. He absolutely could not waste it.
He had to eat it!
He forced himself to swallow the entire embryo.
The next moment!
A warm current flooded Chen Yu's entire body and stirred his soul.
In the end, all that energy poured into Chen Yu's eyes.
[Time Ghost Eye has increased from Level 5 to Level 6!]
[Anomaly Ability has been strengthened.]
[Time acceleration speed increased.]
[Time reversal speed increased.]
[When using the Time Ghost Eye, mental power consumption is slightly reduced.]
[You have devoured the Ghost Embryo.]
[Description: Level 6 Ghost Embryo, not fully developed.]
Chen Yu waited excitedly for the next prompt from his phone.
[What are you waiting for?]
The phone seemed to have seen through Chen Yu's thoughts.
"I-I ate a Level 6 Anomaly. What about my Anomaly Ability? Why did you only give me an introduction?"
Chen Yu was taken aback.
Why wasn't it following the usual routine this time?
Whenever he devoured an anomaly before, it would first introduce the anomaly he had consumed, then explain its origins, and only afterward grant Chen Yu that anomaly's Anomaly Ability.
[Anomaly Ability? You're thinking too much.] [You think eating something means you gain its abilities?] [This was merely an infectious entity parasitizing a human body. It didn't even count as an anomaly's avatar.] [Just think of it as eating a beef ball.]
[...]
Chen Yu: "..."
Though speechless, Chen Yu's heart churned with stormy waves.
An infected parasitic entity that had not even fully developed was already Level 6!
It could even make his phone frantically warn him of danger. If it fully developed, it would definitely be a troublesome opponent.
Moreover, when Chen Yu devoured an ordinary anomaly, it would turn into energy and either flow into the Ghost Butcher Knife or into the other anomalies within his body.
It would never enter the Time Ghost Eye.
That was because the Time Ghost Eye was the most powerful and terrifying anomaly Chen Yu had acquired.
Yet eating the Ghost Embryo had directly upgraded his Time Ghost Eye.
One could imagine just how much energy the Ghost Embryo possessed.
The infected parasitic entity alone was this formidable.
Then...
Just how powerful was the main body?
The anomaly inside Tong Jian's stomach should have been left behind by the anomaly that had slaughtered Honghong Orphanage.
What kind of anomaly was that thing?
And how powerful was it?
A sense of danger arose within him.
Just then.
[Ding!]
[Ding!]
Several sounds came from the phone he had just put into his pocket.
Chen Yu took it out and saw notifications for forum private messages flashing on the screen.
Chen Yu opened his forum inbox.
The private mailbox that had contained tens of thousands of messages had been cleared.
However, one message had been pinned at the top. It was a location message.
Chen Yu frowned.
Someone had directly controlled his backend, cleared his data, and pinned a chat message.
That person's status had to be very high.
Chen Yu did not open it immediately. He was extremely cautious, because this was simply too strange. Although Chen Yu had dealt with a high-risk instance,
high-risk instances appeared every day, and people resolved them every day.
The reason Chen Yu had become so popular was because he was mysterious and an unknown Ghost Controller.
That kind of attention would only last for a while. It was understandable for it to attract the attention of some civilian organizations, and it was even reasonable for the local Investigation Bureau to notice him.
But for the Anomaly Era's officials to clear his data and pin a chat message was a little hard to explain.
Because what Chen Yu had shown so far was not enough to warrant such attention from them.
Sure enough.
His phone rang with the sound of a bugle call.
A call labeled Linjiang Investigation Bureau came through.
Chen Yu frowned. After hesitating for a moment, he answered it.
"Hello. You registered an account with the Anomaly Era's official platform, so we were able to find your phone number. You must remember what I'm about to tell you! Be careful!"
"Just a few minutes ago, our Investigation Bureau's database was infiltrated by a Ghost Controller who had controlled the Anomaly Computer! This Ghost Controller was suspected to have been a hacker before!"
"Something will happen if you open the pinned chat in your private messages!"
"Please, do not open it!"
At that moment, the phone began vibrating as well.
[Buzz!]
[Well, well. A hacker who has controlled the Anomaly Computer? They're practically a match made in heaven!] [I'd like to see what kind of sparks these two will create when combined.]
The prompt on the phone seemed somewhat excited.
The Anomaly Computer had been controlled by a hacker.
