That S-Rank Mushroom Man might be like that too.

Ye Jiang suddenly remembered something. "Your power..."

The Invisible Man immediately clutched his chest, as if the soul-piercing pain still lingered.

He murmured, "I don't know where that power came from. I suddenly became dazed and confused, and a powerful force appeared within my body."

He suddenly widened his eyes, "It's that piece of meat! It's the one that's channeling power into my body."

However, that force was ruthless, shattering his consciousness into pieces. If it wasn't torn apart, it was foreseeable that he would soon explode and die.

Fortunately, his friend tore it up in time; she saved him.

Meat chunks?

Ye Jiang thought of the piece of black, rotten flesh that she had crushed. What exactly was that piece of flesh?

The thought of that chunk of flesh burrowing into her skin made her frown; she wasn't happy about it.

She asked the Invisible Man, "Where did that piece of meat come from?"

The Invisible Man shook his head; he truly didn't know. He had that piece of flesh on his body when he was conscious.

The conversation reached a dead end; the two, one human and one Polluted, stared at each other speechlessly. Finally, the Invisible Man revealed a relieved expression, clutching his precious body. "Anyway, I've turned misfortune into blessing..."

His human friends are his blessing.

"It's been so long since I've been human, I almost didn't know how to breathe..." he exclaimed.

"Oh, right," the Invisible Man remembered something, "And this too! Ye Jiang, take a look at this!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, revealing the Blood Moon symbol on his finger.

Ye Jiang glanced over, her gaze sharpening as she stared at the Blood Moon symbol for two seconds. Not long ago, a being whom the Ability Control Bureau had called a monster had also shown her this symbol. At the time, she hadn't paid it any mind, but now a certain string in her heart was gently plucked, and she inexplicably summoned her Ability System.

Having just leveled up, her ability level remained unchanged at C-Rank, but a "watermelon" had appeared out of nowhere in the second slot of her inventory, glowing brightly and irritating her eyes.

The brain on her neck, which she rarely used, started working; she stared at the Invisible Man for a moment, then looked down at the "watermelon."

She lightly touched the rather large ball of light with her finger, and at the same time, her consciousness enveloped it. In an instant, her vision blurred, and a mysterious sensation struck her.

The dizziness she felt when she first explored the light spots did not occur now; instead, she felt as if she were connected to something.

At this moment, the person who was rambling on and on about possibly becoming an invisible Invisible Man with superpowers suddenly stopped talking and became somewhat dazed.

Ye Jiang stared at him for a long while, then got up and came to observe him closely. He didn't move at all, becoming like a puppet on a string.

[Domination]

Ye Jiang remembered that the item storage compartment was located under the "Domination" section of the system.

She had never thought about the meaning behind the name of this feature section before, but now a thought struck her, and she said to the Invisible Man, "Go get me a glass of water."

The S-Rank Polluted stood there blankly, saying nothing. He found the kettle in the room, poured a glass of water, then turned back to Ye Jiang and handed her the glass.

Ye Jiang: "..."

She withdrew her consciousness from the ball of light, and the Invisible Man immediately regained his senses and... became noisy.

He went on to talk about how he had become a superhuman, and as he spoke, he noticed he was holding a glass of water. He scratched his head, puzzled.

He had no memory of what had just happened.

"Give me the water," Ye Jiang said.

"... oh."

The Invisible Man blankly handed her the water glass.

He paused for a moment, then shifted his attention away from the extra water glass. He had more important things to report. He said, "I was joking when I said I'd become a superhuman. I tried it; this newly grown Blood Moon symbol is different from those of human superhumans. Touching it doesn't activate the system; it seems to be just a symbol..."

As he spoke, he touched the extra Blood Moon symbol. Ye Jiang drank her water and watched him operate, while simultaneously multitasking, wrapping her consciousness around another watermelon-sized orb of light in the second grid of her system, immersing herself in a mysterious feeling. Because she had just done it before, she was very skilled this time.

"Is there really no system?" she asked the Invisible Man.

The Invisible Man shook his head. "No."

It seems he's just a Polluted.

He was genuinely confused; if the purpose wasn't to give him a system, then what was the point of giving him this symbol?

When he first saw the mark on his finger, he thought that the mysterious Blood Moon in the sky was going to take care of the Polluted, but things didn't seem to be like that.

The Invisible Man didn't believe that the Blood Moon mark on his hand was made by Ye Jiang. Even a three-year-old child knows that the Blood Moon mark is a gift from the mysterious Blood Moon in the sky, and the two are highly related. The Blood Moon appeared three hundred years ago, so it's impossible for it to be related to his human friend.

The more the Invisible Man thought about it, the more confused he became, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

It concerns the Blood Moon; even after three hundred years, humanity still doesn't know much about it, so it's normal that he doesn't understand it either.

"If I don't have it, I don't care." The Invisible Man brightened up again, saying happily, "I'm an S-Rank Polluted now, and I have a human body again. I'm no worse than a superhuman."

He added, "I'm pretty strong now, Ye Jiang. If you encounter any opponents, let me know, and I can help you out in some way!"

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a knock on the window, and a snow-white figure appeared outside. When Ye Jiang looked towards the window, the figure transformed into mycelium and crawled in through the crack in the window, just like when the Invisible Man came.

The Invisible Man looked at the newcomer in surprise, thinking that the other party had come to see Ye Jiang. However, after the Mushroom Man Ming Chun came in, he simply placed a fallen leaf on the table in the room, and then left quietly as he had come, quickly disappearing without a trace.

"... What is she doing?" The Invisible Man didn't understand.

Ye Jiang's gaze fell on the fallen leaf, her eyes flashing.

Not long ago, she entangled her consciousness with another ball of light in the second compartment of the storage box and gave it a command: Send a fallen leaf over.

Then, the Mushroom Man arrived, and a leaf appeared on the table.

In her storage compartment were two watermelon-sized orbs of light: one was S-Rank Polluted, the Invisible Man, and the other was S-Rank Polluted, the Mushroom Man. The Mushroom Man was S-Rank Polluted who had caused unrest in City A; even someone as oblivious as her would have known by now. The problem now was...

They seemed to have become part of her superpower; she could Domination them.

Besides the two orbs of light in the Ability System, there are also the "Sesame Orb" in the first column and the two dots of light in the third column. What do they represent, and can she Domination as well?

As Ye Jiang pondered this, she silently focused her consciousness on a dark red dot in the third column. The next second, a familiar dizziness washed over her, and she almost vomited.

"..."

Okay, it seems not, at least not in the third column right now.

So the first column

Woolen cloth?

Ye Jiang recalled the dizziness she felt when she touched the light spot in the first column with her consciousness, and after thinking about it, she gave up on continuing the experiment.

Perhaps this ability to Domination others has increased as her power level has risen; the first category she couldn't Domination before is now within her Domination, but it doesn't seem to mean much to her. Deep down, she has no intention of Domination anyone to do anything for her.

Thinking this way, her desire to explore her Ability System diminished considerably. She put away the Ability System and came to a conclusion in her heart: the Blood Moon System is indeed mysterious, possessing all kinds of abilities.

Chapter 83, Mission 2: A new missing person search mission.

The meeting between Polluted Invisible Man and the Monster Dong Zhen full of drama. The Invisible Man had been wandering in the wilderness for too long. After returning to the city and seeing his friends, he finally remembered that his idol was coming to the city. Although it was a bit late, he still wanted to feel the afterglow of the Child of Child of Light. However, he was told on the spot that his idol had fallen from the sky and become a criminal.

How could this be! Shocked and furious, he couldn't hold back, and water gushed uncontrollably from the ripples on his neck.

Dong Zhen came to find his sister, but was attacked by the Polluted as soon as he entered. He immediately conjured an umbrella in his hand to block the water that was being shot at him. Then he closed the umbrella and quickly stabbed at the Polluted who was attacking him. The whole set of movements was smooth and fluid.

Upon seeing the fierce attack, the Invisible Man, before even recognizing the attacker, immediately summoned a water curtain to defend himself.

Before making his move, the Invisible Man was very confident, until the small floral ruffled parasol pierced through his water curtain with a sharp rip and arrived at his brow in the blink of an eye, almost stabbing him through.

"Dong Zhen, stop!"

A slightly cold voice rang out in the room, halting the parasol's attack. The parasol stopped in mid-air. The Invisible Man's eyes were fixed on the tip of the parasol between his brows, while the confident S-Rank Polluted was dumbfounded. The monster slowly retracted the parasol, which dissipated into light fragments in his hand. He turned to face the person who had stopped him, and immediately began to complain in a pitiful voice, "Sister, this person hit me! I almost got hurt!"

Ye Jiang: "."

Invisible Man: "..."

Don't you feel guilty saying that?

The Invisible Man was nearly distorted with anger; the water droplets on his neck writhed uncontrollably. His gaze fell on the boy who had complained, and upon closer inspection, he sensed a strange familiarity. That face, that voice... Had he seen this boy somewhere before?

It's you!

The Invisible Man remembered—wasn't this the boy he met while wandering the wilderness, the one who asked him what romance was?

As his memories returned, so did the sense of danger the boy had instilled in him. The S-Rank Polluted involuntarily shrank back. Who was this boy? Why did he, S-Rank, feel threatened? And why did he know Ye Jiang?
