A madman, a complete madman.
The "Hole Man" tilted his head to the side, found no one nearby, then sullenly straightened his head, composed himself, and resumed his inscrutable demeanor, authoritatively answering his two younger brothers' questions. "Don't listen to what she's saying. This human's brain has been damaged by our Pollution. She's talking nonsense and will faint in a second or two!"
"Jellyfish" and "Noodle" suddenly realized. "So that's how it is, so that's how it is!"
in this way."
"Noodle" said, "I almost thought this human knew about the monster's existence."
Ye Jiang: "."
She replied expressionlessly, "Yes, I know."
She said, "Me too."
The monsters ignored her and huddled together, talking to themselves.
"I can see that too. This human is really on his last legs; he's getting more and more absurd with each statement."
"Once she's passed out, throw her out!"
Throw it further away.
Ye Jiang: "..."
Shadows flickered within the drifting Pollution; the toys from the second floor were gathering in this direction. Ye Jiang had a sudden thought: since the toys were blocking the walkway, she decided to go over there first and then argue with these monsters about her identity.
However, as soon as she lifted her foot, the Jellyfish stretched out a tentacle to block her.
The monster didn't want her to pass.
A jet-black tentacle lay before her. Ye Jiang's first reaction wasn't anger; an image of another monster's pink tentacles flashed through her mind. Her hands moved faster than her brain; she raised her hand, grabbed it, and squeezed it. The feel...
It doesn't feel right to the touch.
It was as if she had grasped nothingness.
Ye Jiang compared them.
"Jellyfish" seemed taken aback by her direct approach, and paused for a moment. A strange feeling washed over him; he found the human's touch... not unpleasant.
This is too bizarre.
He swiftly retracted his tentacles and commanded "Noodle": "Third brother, you go and teach this clueless human a lesson!"
"Noodle" asked, bewildered, "Should I go? Why doesn't Second Brother go himself?"
The "Jellyfish" subtly twitched one of its tentacles, as if the awkward feeling still lingered. It declared righteously, "Because I still have to maintain the barrier around this floor, I don't have time!"
He said, "You know, if our voices, images, and Pollution leak to the people upstairs and downstairs, frightening these fragile beings, and if that person finds out about this, then..."
Which one?
Ye Jiang didn't know who the two monsters were thinking of. She saw "Jellyfish" tremble, and then "Noodle" trembled as well. Then "Noodle" swiftly left the railing and bound Ye Jiang tightly into a pupa.
Ye Jiang frowned slightly. She hadn't thought much of it at first, but now that she was being thwarted time and time again, she finally became a little unhappy.
The monsters say humans are not welcome here.
She is not human.
Therefore, it should be welcomed.
She can be unhappy.
Ye Jiang found a reason to be angry and became righteously angry. Because of her displeasure, a hint of dark red appeared in her dark pupils, as if something was brewing within them, and her aura instantly became cold and sharp.
Suddenly, the Noodle monster that had bound her tightly snapped in two, breaking into several pieces.
Without her doing anything.
That's what she thinks.
Silence.
The eldest brother, "Hole Man," and the second brother, "Jellyfish," froze. Ye Jiang also froze.
Ye Jiang's unhappiness vanished without a trace due to this sudden turn of events. She slightly widened her eyes, the dark red in them fading away. She looked down at the "Noodle" broken into several pieces and lying on the floor.
So crispy.
How come this "slender" monster is so fragile?
This seems even more brittle than a rope that has been severely weathered by years of exposure to the sun.
"Are you alright?" she asked hesitantly.
The "Noodle" on the ground twitched, then quickly reconnected and darted behind the eldest and second eldest brothers.
His body was in excruciating pain, as if he had been attacked by a sharp weapon.
He hid, grumbling and gesturing for someone. "Big brother, you go teach this human a lesson. I... I'm not good at disciplining people."
The "Hole Man" snapped out of his shock, and his body suddenly swelled several times its original size, pressing against the ceiling.
He gazed down at the covered bridge as if terror itself had descended.
"Human, how dare you ambush my third brother!"
Ye Jiang: "..."
When?
"You hurt my third brother, and you must pay the price!" the Hole Man muttered to himself. Stubbornness was a characteristic of these three monster brothers; for example, they still insisted that Ye Jiang was human.
The holes in the "Hole Man" twisted rapidly, as if they were about to grow mouths and become man-eating demons, breaking out of the monster's body. One of the holes was particularly active, as if it would come out at any moment and devour all living things outside!
At this moment, the "Hole Man" suddenly stopped.
Is an attack coming?
Ye Jiang's eyes flickered. How should she deal with this? She had fought the highest-level Polluted before, but she had never fought a monster before, and she didn't know if she could even win...
She stared at the "Hole Man" as she pondered aimlessly. The "Hole Man" remained frozen in place for a long time, as if it had been frozen in time by a single click.
Suddenly, boom—the "Hole Man's " black smoke-like body abruptly disintegrated, and a human body appeared out of thin air from the black smoke.
... a very small human body.
Ye Jiang's gaze lowered and lowered until it finally met the face of the human body—the face of a child of only seven or eight years old. The child glared at her, his face chubby and his voice crisp and clear. "What are you looking at?"
Ye Jiang twitched the corner of her mouth. "You..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yu Guangzhong's "Jellyfish" and "Noodle" disappeared one after another, replaced by a five-year-old child and a four-year-old child, respectively. The four-year-old child touched his own body and said, "I almost forgot, the one-hour time limit is up."
The monster can only reveal its true form for a maximum of one hour at a time; it won't reappear for several days.
The light in Ye Jiang's eyes vanished instantly at those unexpected words.
These three monsters also didn't know how to break the rules.
They were not the guiding lights she had hoped for.
Ye Jiang fell silent. She had lost interest in these three of her kind and had no intention of getting entangled with them any longer. She turned and walked away to explore the floor. Since the monster couldn't provide her with any clues about how to leave her body, she decided to explore the floor herself.
"Etc!"
The eight-year-old child stopped Ye Jiang: "This is our territory, you're not allowed to go over here!"
The monster, dressed in the body of a human infant, roared, "Besides, you also injured our third brother; we still need to settle this score!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Jiang looked at him, then at the other two monsters, and declared one last time, "I am a monster."
They don't welcome humans, but she's not human.
The monster didn't care at all. "No matter what you are, you can't pass by!"
Ye Jiang's eyes flashed. If that's the case...
She leaped across, incredibly fast.
Before the three monsters could react, Ye Jiang had vanished without even disturbing the air.
"!!!"
The three monsters stood frozen in place, mouths agape.
Suddenly, the air rippled, and something appeared. The three monsters became alert, but it was too late. A club slammed down on their heads, bang, bang, bang, without missing a single one. All three monsters were struck on the head. The monsters felt as if the sky had fallen and the earth had cracked. When they came to their senses, they were already lying in a row.
He did not lose consciousness, but simply lay down, his body briefly stiffening.
They were knocked down with a single punch.
By whom?!
Who's being so fierce?!
A slender figure appeared in her field of vision; it was the human who had already left—no, it was the woman who called herself a monster.
It's her!
She stared at them from above, her eyes filled with scrutiny.
"Hmm, it seems that beating monsters feels the same as beating Polluted..." Ye Jiang murmured softly.
She had already left, but she was curious about what it felt like to beat up a monster, so she came back and experimented.
Experimental results: Nothing special, just more resistant to being hit than Polluted.
She was quite lucky; she encountered a few little monsters to experiment on.
Judging monsters by their appearance, Ye Jiang categorized the three monsters as low-level monsters without a second thought. She gained a new experience from these three brothers and then leaped away.
No sooner had she left than the monsters regained consciousness, but they didn't get up. They exchanged glances, and at the same time, they thought of another monster, a Slaughter God who had wreaked havoc in the monster world, and their bodies involuntarily trembled.
Chapter 114 A Madman. A madman.
In 2166, a high-level monster descended into the body of an eight-year-old human child. After adapting to the tender human body, he saw the first ray of sunlight in his life. He had never seen sunlight before; there was no sunlight in the Inner World, only endless darkness. Chaos, slaughter, and survival of the fittest were synonymous with the Inner World. He had never seen such a beautiful place, nor... such weak natives.
then--
"Ha! Ha! Ha! I will destroy the world, and then build my lair upon the ruins!"
The higher monsters were in an uproar; their youthful faces uncontrollably transformed into voids, twisting and contorting, from which endless Pollution poured forth.
He turned his gaze to the nearby cities, and he made his decision: this would be the starting point for him to overthrow the world and establish his own throne!
He darted towards the city in a flash, ready to unleash his full power, when a man appeared.
The young man was handsome and aloof, exuding a faint, ethereal scent of pine and wood. He looked at him as he was about to reveal his true form and asked indifferently, "What do you want to do?"
"I will destroy the world!"
The superior monster declared with great arrogance, then sized up the youth and said with malice, "It'll start with you, a human!"
