Chapter 215

He examined the new body He had created.

Now, she looks exactly like those strange-looking ants.

That concludes my memory.

In the last part of her memory, Ye Jiang saw a strange body.

This is the body she's in now.

Ye Jiang felt His feelings from the fragmented memories being transmitted completely to her. She felt satisfied and self-affirmed; He was very pleased with His creation. Receiving these feelings, Ye Jiang looked at her current body and finally couldn't help but let her lips twitch slightly.

He is himself.

She didn't descend in a human body, but rather tore through the world's barrier to descend in her true form. She was right; she indeed possessed the talent to use her true form in the human world.

There's just one problem: her talent for sculpting is nowhere near as good as Rong Yin's. Rong Yin's sculpted bodies are highly similar to humans, while the one she created...

Ye Jiang examined it closely. In her memory, she thought humans were very small, but she hadn't realized she'd sculpted them too small, only about a meter tall. In her memory, she thought humans were flat, but she hadn't realized she'd flattened them too much, almost turning them into two-dimensional beings. The "whiskers" she'd sculpted in her memory were long and dense, quite troublesome. The "membrane," however, was well-sculpted, with a skin-like texture, just a bit too white. And these hands...

Ye Jiang was speechless.

However, it's forgivable; if she hadn't been human for so long, she really wouldn't be able to distinguish the appearances of the other races very well.

Ye Jiang spent several days learning body sculpting at the mall and made remarkable progress. She was waiting for the opportunity to leave the host's body, and now, her opportunity had arrived.

As Ye Jiang's consciousness expanded, she "saw" the host's body in the bedroom upstairs, the body slumped on the ground.

Ye Jiang's consciousness gently lifted the body, about to create a space to house it, when she suddenly noticed something.

She discovered that the body she was supporting was taller and more robust than when she was Ye Jiang, unlike her own frail and delicate self, who seemed like she could be blown away by the wind. Her complexion was also healthier, and her face... it had a cool and narrow appearance, and while the features on her face weren't particularly outstanding, by human standards, it was harmonious and beautiful overall... all of which were completely different from Ye Jiang's exquisite features.

Ye Jiang suddenly realized something. She thought that when she entered Tang Su's human body in a state of amnesia, in addition to unconsciously interfering with other people's cognition and making them forget the name Tang Su, she also interfered with other people's vision. Although she was residing in Tang Su's body, what other people saw was not Tang Su's original appearance, but another human appearance.

"?"

Whose face and appearance is this?

Is it a human image that we created ourselves?

However, one can tell how much ability she has to shape her own appearance just by looking at her current thin and flat body. Did she perhaps receive further training elsewhere?

Furthermore, since I could clearly come directly from the Inner World to the Surface World, why did I choose to descend by fulfilling human wishes? And why did I lose my memory?

In her memory, she tore through the world's barrier and descended, looking down upon all of humanity from the Sky. The world was in her eyes. Although they were all the same being, she could sense through her memory a power that even she, now, could only look up to...

She has become much weaker.

Many, many.

Ye Jiang was pondering these questions, her consciousness spreading outwards aimlessly. Within her conscious realm, there was only one life form: Xiao Pei.

Ye Jiang has always had the ability to distinguish between life and non-life, which is why she initially treated ordinary Polluted as inanimate objects, but did not classify special Polluted in the same way.

However, when Ye Jiang mistakenly believed she had transmigrated, she treated the people in the illusion as living beings. Now, she realizes that it was because the illusion was constructed from her own energy particles. She was momentarily unaware and deceived by her own power, mistaking the illusion for life. Now, when she uses her consciousness to perceive it, she can feel that Xiao Pei was right; this is just an illusion, and these seemingly living humans are all false images.

Why exactly were her energy particles scattered throughout the *&% Mountains?

Ye Jiang suddenly paused. Wait... what was the name of that mountain range again? Why couldn't she suddenly remember?

"She's a... Living Dead?"

"... It should be."

Ye Jiang overheard Xiao Pei and Ye Yanran's conversation ahead. How rude of them! They mistook her meticulously crafted human body for Polluted, even though her creation was rather poor.

She only allows herself to feel bad.

As Ye Jiang listened to their conversation, she felt that their voices were becoming somewhat unfamiliar. It seemed that she was losing her memories of them. No, not just them, she felt that many memories in her mind were beginning to become blurred.

Her gaze grew increasingly vacant and indifferent.

Ye Jiang originally wanted to modify her terrible human appearance, but now she had no energy left. She felt a sense of urgency and immediately stored Tang Su's body upstairs into her space. After pausing for a moment, she left a note in the room.

That was the last thing Ye Jiang did. After she did it, her memory faded back to... the time when she first entered this villa.

At that time, He tore open the world's barrier and entered the Surface World. Looking down from the Sky, He was touched by the strange ants and landed to take form.

The world is too busy for anyone to notice His presence. Although He came into this world, He has never truly integrated into it. He does not want humans to observe Him; He is unwilling to do so.

One day, she passed by a human dwelling and sensed Pollution emanating from the villa.

He finally stopped his journey and entered the dwellings of humans.

He saw a Pollution, lifeless being, a child who had once been human but was now a lifeless being.

But its mother refused to believe this fact and continued to protect and cherish it.

He gazed silently at the human woman pushing the stroller and humming a lullaby, day after day, his tenderness undiminished.

Then, human officials arrived; three men and women entered the villa to take away the Pollution corpse. The human woman hurriedly pushed her child into the basement and hid nervously.

He had been gazing at this human woman for a long time, and seeing her nervous appearance now, He felt a strange stirring in His heart, just as He had felt when He first looked down from the Sky.

He made the villa's lights flicker, and He knocked over vases, trying to scare the human officials away from the villa, but He failed. He then copied a puppet, and this time, the human officials didn't notice and left with the puppet. The villa returned to normal.

The sun rises again, and human women push their strollers again, humming gentle lullabies, only to be Pollution once more.

This human could no longer stay with that Pollution corpse, He thought, and the Pollution corpse was separated from its body.

"Aaaaaah!" The human woman awoke and screamed in terror.

Ordinary things in the world rarely enter His sight or hearing, but at this moment He heard a woman's voice, panicked and fearful... Ants are not without fear after all; they can be afraid of such things.

He continued to watch the woman, watching her cling to the corpse of the dead thing, oblivious to the Pollution, refusing to let go even as it rotted, watching her grow more and more deranged each day, until finally she ran out of the villa. All of this puzzled Him. Why was this happening? He felt uneasy, and for the first time, He questioned Himself, wondering if He had done something wrong.

The woman exuded intense emotions—love, hate, anger, and infatuation. It was the first time He had realized that humans were driven by emotions, something unfamiliar to Him, which stirred His curiosity slightly.

Human officials, having learned of the woman's unexplained madness at the villa, returned to investigate. This time, He emerged from the shadows...

Driven by a sense of curiosity, He wanted to learn more about humanity.

He revealed himself, and for the first time, humanity saw Him.

His single eye gazed indifferently at the humans before him.

Something seemed slightly off, He thought to Him. He had a feeling that the humans currently in this basement should be two women and one man—the humans who had been tricked away by His puppet during the last visit to the villa, not these...

Two women, the one with a muscular physique who looked somewhat unfamiliar.

And this one too.

He looked at the young man in the basement. The monster was also looking at him, his gaze carrying a faint smile, as if surprised by his appearance.

He immediately pursed his lips.

After completing this action, He suddenly stopped.

He felt somewhat out of place himself.

Is He such a monster, so easily swayed by emotions?

"Ms. Xiao, leave this place!" Ye Yanran suddenly spoke up, her eyes fixed on the Living Dead in front of her.

There was a second Living Dead in this villa, which was completely unexpected!

She immediately tensed up, assuming a fighting stance.

Xiao Pei was sizing up the Polluted when she was suddenly called by name. She was stunned and didn't react for a moment. In fact, she had heard Ye Yanran's words clearly, but she just couldn't understand them because... these were words she often said to ordinary citizens when she was on missions, but now... Ye Yanran was obviously treating her as an ordinary citizen and speaking to her like that.

Xiao Pei, who had killed countless Polluted, had a subtle expression. "Um..."

Ye Yanran couldn't stand her dawdling and urged her, "Please hurry up and go, okay?"

Xiao Pei: "..."

She said, "Actually, I could have stayed to help... I didn't have time to tell you, but I also resist the aura of the Living Dead."

Ye Yanran was touching the dagger strapped to her calf when she heard this and suddenly looked up. Xiao Pei nodded at her.

Contrary to Xiao Pei's expectations, Ye Yanran wasn't easily persuaded to stay and help. The head of the Special Affairs Office, upon hearing her explanation, instead glared at her with an unusually forceful expression. "Where do you know you can resist the aura of the Living Dead? Have you seen Living Dead that the Special Affairs Office hasn't taken on? Where are they?"
