Ch. 27Chapter 9

After two weeks of tracking a criminal group, Lin Jie, Xiao Zhan, Thirteen, and Yan Qing intervened in a deal involving a biochemical creation that became a Sewage Monster. The monster ran toward downtown, where Xiao Zhan discovered his upgraded rods could purify it and prepared to fight.

  • Thirteen reported that the criminals were trading a biochemical creation, so he and Yan Qing entered the abandoned factory while Lin Jie and Xiao Zhan watched.
