Five-Star Material! A Bizarre Mass of Flesh

On the other side of the corridor, Su Ziyu collected the Pollution Source Ruan Xiaoqi had dropped, then examined the materials he had just gathered.

"[Small Amount of Twisted Spider God's Silk (Five-Star): Silk originating from the Spider God, possessing powerful twisting force. If fused with ordinary materials, it may affect their original functions. It is recommended to edit it with materials of three stars or above!]"

"[Partial Pollution Source (Four-Star): Dark matter produced by the contamination of spiritual bodies, originating from the ancient forbidden place known as the Dark Abyss. There are few detailed records. If enough can be gathered, it will also make excellent material!]"

Five-star material!

Su Ziyu's eyes widened. It seemed that taking advantage of the Spider God really was worthwhile.

Just a vague reflection had yielded a five-star material.

Just imagine it—if he faced an evil god directly, those great beings would be covered in treasures!

There might even be eight-star, or even nine-star materials!

Of course, that was still a little far off. Su Ziyu was already quite satisfied to have collected a five-star material so quickly.

Moreover, the Pollution Source had also risen to four-star material. As long as he gathered another batch of supplementary materials, he would be able to edit a new monster.

After calming himself slightly, Su Ziyu began to dispel the dark spell.

As the Bound Prison dissolved, the Twisting Lines rapidly contracted and vanished, finally revealing the building's true state.

The floor had shattered into powder, while the walls had collapsed into broken bricks mixed with rebar and rubble. Su Ziyu was standing amid complete ruins.

However, there were several more figures in these ruins, bound by Twisting Lines. Hanging from an abandoned platform like silkworm cocoons, their exposed faces were filled with terror.

Su Ziyu had no intention of killing them. They were Beyonders who fought evil for humanity, after all. A small lesson was enough.

He raised his hand slightly, and the Twisting Lines flew like snakes into his shadow. The agents all fell to the ground, their throats so dry that they could not make a sound.

"Be more careful... when you walk at night."

A layer of shadow energy covered Su Ziyu's face, preventing them from seeing his features. Yet they noticed the Dread Demon Eye beside him. The terrifying spirituality it radiated made their scalps tingle, especially since its berserk state was far from over.

"You..."

One of the agents seemed to have recovered somewhat. After holding it in for a long while, he finally muttered hoarsely:

"Are... are you a Forbidden Entity...? You can actually control... that kind of monster!"

He spoke very softly, but Su Ziyu naturally heard him. He did not care, however, and simply led the dazed Ruan Xiaoqi away.

The Dread Demon Eye followed behind Su Ziyu, even mischievously turning back to glare at them.

That nearly scared the agents unconscious. Huddled together, they could see despair in one another's eyes.

"Did you notice... that entity... seemed to be wearing a hospital gown!"

"Hiss... could that patient have been controlled by a Forbidden Entity?!"

"We have to... we have to report this!"

"A Forbidden Entity... Subject 021 has escaped too... we must notify everyone to evacuate!"

As Su Ziyu walked along the path, he was still considering something else. There had been two patients held in this Special Containment Facility. One was Ruan Xiaoqi, while the other had vanished without a trace.

The wire fence that had originally surrounded this S-class building had several large holes torn through it. It was easy to imagine that person had already slipped away.

Su Ziyu had an idea of where that man might have gone.

He looked into the distance, where flames soared into the sky and even dyed the heavens red.

Against the crimson sky, a building dozens of meters tall could be seen. On its rooftop, even the air seemed to have congealed and twisted, while an evil aura continuously spread outward.

"Poor director..."

Su Ziyu withdrew his gaze. The top floor there was the director's office, the highest point in the entire psychiatric hospital.

The administrative building of Jiangyuan Psychiatric Hospital was also located in the central courtyard. The Evil Spirit Marionette was still fighting there!

"I wonder how the Evil Spirit Marionette is doing?"

Having confirmed his destination, Su Ziyu took Ruan Xiaoqi's hand and slowly walked out of the ruined little building.

The streetlights had been destroyed. In the flowerbeds hidden within the unlit shadows, several pairs of red eyes suddenly appeared.

The instant they emerged, Ruan Xiaoqi moved as well.

A chittering laugh came from her throat as her body shot forward. Amid a series of cracking sounds, bones could clearly be heard breaking.

Ruan Xiaoqi stood quietly in the middle, surrounded by several corpses. They were ugly, with sharp, protruding teeth. They were clearly a pack of Ghouls!

At this moment, they had none of a Ghoul's usual ferocity. Some had their heads torn off and attached to their buttocks, while another had its limbs bent at impossible angles, rolling itself into a ball.

Every one of them seemed to defy the laws of physics, yet their bodies had truly been pieced together that way, creating an indescribably bizarre feeling.

"Good job."

Su Ziyu praised Ruan Xiaoqi, and the girl's eyes brightened with rare delight.

But her long black hair fell over them again, concealing those clearly beautiful eyes.

Those Ghouls had been hiding in the bushes just now. Su Ziyu had naturally noticed them, but he deliberately chose not to act so he could see Ruan Xiaoqi's reaction.

Ruan Xiaoqi cautiously followed behind Su Ziyu again. They encountered several more Ghouls along the way, but Ruan Xiaoqi turned them all into "toys"...

Outside the hospital courtyard, Su Ziyu suddenly sensed something with his spirituality. Pulling Ruan Xiaoqi back a step, he simultaneously condensed a circular wall of darkness.

Dark Wisdom: Wall of Eternal Night!

Plop!

Drops of viscous ** fell from above, landing on the Wall of Eternal Night and sliding down its curved surface before dripping onto the ground, where they corroded tiny raindrop-shaped holes.

He had initially assumed it was some kind of **, but upon closer inspection, he discovered that aside from its immense corrosiveness, each falling drop also contained a struggling cyan worm...

Then, the unidentified "**" began pouring down with a crackling patter, burning small pits into the ground with its powerful corrosiveness.

It also spawned cyan worms one after another, which slowly gathered together...

Su Ziyu retreated to a safe position and looked up. At the edge of the administrative building's rooftop in the courtyard, there was an unknown dark-green ** covering it. It resembled a constantly writhing mass of flesh, like an erupting living volcano. The dark-green ** from earlier had been spewed from a gigantic opening resembling a mouth.

The decayed dark-green mass of flesh was like moldy bread. Its **-like body tightly wrapped around a human, suspending him from the exterior wall. Wherever the human had been touched by the **, all his skin had fallen away, exposing the ghastly white bones beneath!

The human's agonized screams echoed continuously. Silent moonlight spilled over the mass of flesh. With the All-Seeing True Eye's extraordinary vision, Su Ziyu saw it clearly: the mass of flesh was actually formed from cyan worms clinging together, and the "**" that had fallen earlier were those cyan worms!

"Old Huang... has he completely mutated?"

Staring at the absurd scene on the rooftop, Su Ziyu muttered to himself.
