The display on the screen left everyone confused, and all eyes were on Jiang Nuo.
Jiang Nuo herself fell into a desolate silence.
He stared for a long time at the last line of text on the screen that hadn't disappeared.
"System warning again: Please escape immediately and do not indulge in Fantasy."
Jiang Nuo certainly remembered this six-star dungeon.
That was a copy of his actual death, experiencing the same death over and over again in his Fantasy. Finally, in the seemingly endless loss of control, he found a way to escape, and then encountered the Lingduan System, returning to the real world.
What if all of this is still just Fantasy?
He didn't successfully complete the level; instead, he entered a deeper, more uncontrolled descent.
" Jiang Nuo... Jiang Nuo!"
Jiang Nuo finally heard the sound.
He blinked slowly, looking towards the source of the sound; it was Si Yan.
Si Yan looked more worried and panicked than ever before.
" Nuonuo, don't believe it." Si Yan covered Jiang Nuo's scarlet eyes with both hands, his magnetic, deep voice even clearer in her ear.
"Don't look, this is just a trick of the Aberrant Monster; this is the real world."
Often, Si Yan's hands were cold. Jiang Nuo felt his soft palm covering her eyelids, her fingers trembled at her sides, she raised her hand to grasp his wrist, and then pulled it away with a slightly forceful motion.
His scarlet eyes scanned everyone standing in the park.
There were many familiar and unfamiliar faces; they all looked different and had their own unique characteristics.
They don't quite resemble the NPCs mass-produced in dungeons, but they also seem almost identical.
For a few moments, Jiang Nuo even felt that they had begun to dissipate and melt away, but upon closer inspection, nothing had happened.
"What on earth is going on? And what does the content on the screen mean...?"
Some people still couldn't help but ask.
Gu Shan, who was just as experienced and old as Si Yan, seemed to have guessed something, and looked at Si Yan with a puzzled expression.
Was Jiang Nuo also from that place? That strange place where all the records were taken away and cleaned up by Number One.
Si Yan knew what Gu Shan wanted to ask, but she couldn't answer immediately.
This silence and investigation continued until something else appeared on the screen again.
The Aberrant Monster figure reappeared, with the sky above the capital city as the backdrop.
Everyone who witnessed this scene was shocked.
"How is this possible! How could he have escaped!" The person who first took charge of binding the Aberrant Monster was horrified. "I activated the alarm system as quickly as possible, how could he...?"
This is truly unbelievable.
The association's Spiritual Power warning and protection device is designed to protect against all non-human forces, including rare monsters.
How could we possibly fail to defend against this Aberrant Monster?
Their situation instantly became passive after they were carried out of the tightly sealed association park.
The Aberrant Monster once again provoked Jiang Nuo in various ways, and it was obvious to anyone with eyes that it was deliberately trying to anger her.
The melted left side of his face revealed white bone, black blood flowing from empty eye sockets, and tender, sticky muscle.
The Aberrant Monster kept tearing open its left cheek, seemingly in pain because there was something inside its body that didn't belong to it.
And you.
Aren't you in pain?
The Aberrant Monster creature's mouth gaped open, and it tilted its head to stare directly at Jiang Nuo.
Jiang Nuo suddenly closed her eyes, and the long-lost stinging sensation in her left eye socket returned sharply.
He instinctively gripped Si Yan's hand tightly, his grip trembling.
To everyone's astonishment, the Aberrant Monster split in two, each bearing a strange smile as it stared at Jiang Nuo.
Then the screen disappeared again, leaving only a countdown timer.
36-hour countdown.
35:59:57...
35:59:56...
"What's this!"
" The Aberrant Monster can split! If their numbers aren't controlled, the capital will become a slaughterhouse!"
Association members exclaimed in surprise.
What will happen after the countdown ends?
"Could it be murder?"
"Young Master! What should we do now?!"
Si Yan hugged Jiang Nuo, who was still trembling slightly, buried his face in his chest, and spoke in a deep, cold voice.
"I hereby activate the highest level of alert and request that Number One issue a state of emergency for the capital, ordering a full recall to search for the Aberrant Monster."
"Yes!"
They dared not delay in the slightest.
The abilities of these Aberrant Monster are unfathomable; from the Evil Spirit Mirror to revealing their true forms, their ultimate goal is to kill humans.
We cannot allow the capital to descend into panic.
Ten minutes later.
All internet-connected devices in the capital city were forcibly controlled, and everyone was very familiar with the black and gold dragon logo on them.
He is the representative of the Supreme Bureau in Huaxia.
"High Alert: Everyone in the capital city should return home immediately or find the nearest building for shelter."
"Please be aware that you must be on guard against anyone other than yourself until the alert is lifted!"
"Please be aware that you must be on guard against anyone other than yourself until the alert is lifted!!"
Fortunately, as a hub city in Huaxia, the capital city has full network coverage, which can ensure timely and effective notifications.
The entire city was immediately on high alert.
Citizens speculated whether a war was about to break out or whether they had encountered terrorists.
Until someone uploaded a video online.
It's a monster.
A monster more terrifying than a ghost.
The Aberrant Monster in the picture has the body of a normal person, but only half of its head is visible, and its hands and feet are grotesquely mutated, with its eyeballs sticking out!
The man who uploaded the video appears in the latter half of the video. He runs very fast, his eyes twitch wildly, and he is so frightened that he starts to stutter.
"I'm at Huan Huansen Suburban Park in Beijing! There's a terrifying monster here! It's even eating people!"
"I just... I saw... I saw a Daoist priest trying to catch a ghost, and he got eaten too! But the association... the people from the association have arrived; hopefully they can catch the monster."
Once the video was released, some people doubted its authenticity, suspecting it was a deliberate attempt to gain traffic and sensationalism, until it topped the trending list among netizens in Beijing.
Yiya Two Three: It's not fake!! I received a warning from the Supreme Bureau! I was playing a game when the screen suddenly went black, which scared me to death!
Purple Is Noble: Ahhhhh, how terrifying! This video was already scary enough, but the Supreme Bureau personally issued a warning! Does this mean things are out of control?!
Black Is Mysterious: Jiang Nuo God Nuo!! Stop investigating the case! Hurry up and catch the monster!
This Weibo appeared on the topic square, and panicked netizens began tagging Jiang Nuo en masse, including many anti-fans living in Beijing.
Jiang Nuo's Lifelong Hater: Jiang Nuo God Nuo! This is the first time I've ever called you that! Quickly use your superpowers to kill the monster, and I'll be your fan for life!
