A Newcomer's First Battle

Liu Ye murmured to herself, "So it really was him..."

Deng Tao glanced at her again, a little worried that she might be thinking of doing something rash.

After all, although he was her ex-boyfriend, it had only been a short time since they broke up, and their feelings for each other couldn't have disappeared so quickly.

It must be very sad to suddenly learn of someone's death, right?

Unexpectedly, Liu Ye's face darkened. "Forget it. Although I still hate him, he's dead. Let's consider the past forgotten."

"You?" Deng Tao looked at her with some surprise.

Liu Ye: "We broke up because he had an affair. We've already broken up, there's nothing more to say."

I see.

Deng Tao understood. "What a scumbag."

No wonder Liu Ye doesn't look sad at all.

After teaching those people a lesson, Xia Yun tidied his somewhat messy hair with a flourish.

Sure enough, holding in your anger only hurts yourself; letting it out made me feel much better.

In the parlance of cultivation, it means that only when one's mind is clear and unobstructed can one avoid the arising of inner demons!

If the guys who got beaten up knew what she was thinking, they'd probably all slap themselves for speaking up earlier.

Serves you right for getting involved; now you've got a beating.

"Strange, why has Mi Lan been gone for so long?"

Ten minutes have passed.

Deng Tao: "Something must have happened."

"Should we go out?"

"With our limited strength, we wouldn't be of much help if we went out; in fact, we might do more harm than good. Let's stay here and guard these people."

Xia Yun nodded in agreement with Deng Tao's statement, and she also had a premonition that this place wasn't so safe after all.

Especially in that bathroom, the subtle sense of crisis emanating from it was almost stinging her skin.

Her sixth sense told her that something must have happened in the bathroom.

Xia Yun, feeling that her tacit understanding with her partner was simply innate, gave Deng Tao a wink.

Deng Tao resisted the urge to cover his face. It was clear that teammates who hadn't gone through the process of teamwork and combat were utterly hopeless when it came to coordination. He wiped his face and said directly, "Just say what you have to say."

He can't understand it anyway.

Xia Yun said seriously, "There are too many people here. If we speak directly, it might cause some chaos."

"No." Deng Tao glanced at the ordinary people standing far away from them, "I think they'll behave themselves."

Xia Yun: "Okay, I sense something's off about the bathroom. Something might happen."

Deng Tao still chose to believe what the other party said.

Although the other party seems impulsive, their actions so far appear to have been more beneficial than harmful.

Deng Tao stepped forward to keep those people away from the bathroom, and stood between the bathroom and the lobby, isolating the ordinary people from potential danger.

Although Deng Tao kept saying that he only chose to become Contract Anomalist because of the generous salary, when the time really came, he still took the responsibility upon himself.

Bang! Bang!

After being altered by a strange energy, the two newcomers' five senses became far beyond those of ordinary people.

The sounds from the bathroom were minimal, like something tumbling out of the bathtub and landing on the floor.

They exchanged a glance.

Who knows better than them what's in the bathtub?

The body moved.

Liu Ye stayed by their side, observing their every move, and noticed that they were clearly focused on the bathroom.

She turned around to look too.

"There..."

Bang! Bang!

Just as she looked towards the bathroom, two hands suddenly slammed onto the bathroom door.

Some of the transparent frosted glass allows you to vaguely see the outline of a hand.

He kept pounding on the bathroom door with both hands.

The noise finally attracted the attention of others.

"Ah!!!"

"What is that?!"

"There's someone... there's someone inside..."

Deng Tao and Xia Yun's expressions turned serious.

They sensed an eerie aura growing stronger.

Deng Tao shouted, "Everyone hide in the bedroom! No matter what you hear, don't come out!"

The bathroom door had already developed several cracks from the slapping of the hand, and soon the glass on the door would shatter.

The ordinary people finally seemed to realize what was happening, screaming and shoving each other as they ran into the bedroom.

The men, their faces bruised and swollen from the beating, limped and crawled into a nearby room.

Liu Ye glanced at them hesitantly, but finally went into the nearby study.

Bang!

The bathroom glass finally gave way and shattered, and a hand reached out from outside the door.

Its entire palm was covered in blood, making it look extremely horrifying.

Deng Tao took a deep breath, "Here it comes."

Then he concentrated intently, trying to communicate with the strange creature he had contracted.

Fortunately, the Anomaly Containment Association gave these new recruits enough time to adapt to the bizarre abilities, and at Headquarters, they could always find other people to ask about how to control the bizarre.

He found communicating with the supernatural much easier.

A pipe appeared in his hand. The pipe was made of mahogany and carved with some strange monster patterns.

Deng Tao picked it up, put it in his mouth, and sucked.

The next moment he was choked and coughed uncontrollably. The strange, indescribable taste, combined with the irritation of the smoke, filled his entire mouth. No matter how many times he tried, he could not get used to the taste.

It made him feel as if he had tasted the disgusting essence of the bizarre.

Deng Tao took another drag, and this time he properly exhaled the smoke from his mouth.

A wisp of twisted smoke billowed from his mouth, forming a bizarre and grotesque human figure.

This is the Weird Smoke, a strange thing residing inside a pipe.

At the same time.

The bathroom glass door shattered, and the eerie atmosphere inside rushed out.

He was covered in blood, his whole body seemed to have dissolved, his flesh and blood melted together, and the White Bone beneath could be faintly seen.

Aside from being wrinkled and stained after being soaked in water and blood, the clothes remained unchanged.

This eerie creature, as if it had been soaked in boiling water, burst out of the bathroom, and a strange smell followed its arrival into the entire living room.

Deng Tao controlled the Weird Smoke.

The Weird Smoke revealed an exaggerated smile, and the next moment, it transformed into a cloud of mist and drifted towards the strange creature.

The Weird Smoke enveloped the strange creature.

The eerie creature seemed to have seen something, circling in place, occasionally raising its paws to attack in all directions, as if it had spotted some non-existent enemy.

Deng Tao's face was covered in sweat.

"I can still control it for a few more minutes."

Controlling the Weird Smoke requires a significant amount of mental energy and supernatural power.

"Good!"

Xia Yun quickly prepared herself and released the Black Thorn.

On her arm, black plants broke through the flesh and sprouted from the skin.
