A mysterious realm descends, and I defy fate in comics.

Chapter 228 Flesh Wave

Jiang Xingni pondered for a moment.

To be honest, Jiang Xingni still felt that the weirdo might not even have a brain.

—She didn't mean to insult Zhao Henshan.

However, even ordinary people who have never encountered monsters before can easily distinguish the monster in front of them from Zhao Henshan.

If Zhao Henshan hadn't revealed his true identity so early on, Jiang Xingni genuinely believed that she might have been difficult for ordinary ability users to spot if she had blended into the crowd.

After all, Zhao Henshan really did look like a human on the surface, and you couldn't tell at all that he was actually a monster.

Of course, the fact that the entire Fourth Middle School was actually a large, eerie place back then was also part of the reason.

Jiang Xingni pondered for a moment, then muttered something to himself.

It's impossible that the Lower City, which grew up on its own, was later revealed to be some kind of large-scale ghost realm when Xiao Jiming came.

...Probably not?

"I thought you guys would wear this kind of thing on your faces all the time." Jiang Xingni's gaze swept over their group's equipment.

Of the five people, apart from the two who were superhumans, the remaining three all took out goggles and put them on.

Jiang Xingni really thought they would wear goggles the whole time.

Or perhaps the lenses on their masks were already serving the purpose of allowing them to see the eerie things.

It seems not.

It wasn't that Shanqing and his group didn't want to wear the lenses all the time; the unseen monsters were constantly threatening their safety, and it wasn't something they could tolerate.

It's just that even if you can't stand it, you have to endure it.

They don't have the resources to wear this prop all the time.

Fortunately, there were still a few people with superpowers in the team, so even if there were any sudden strange occurrences, they could be detected in time. Thus, Shan Qing and the other two ordinary people were able to barely endure this kind of life.

The monster screamed and charged toward them. Shan Tang narrowed his eyes.

This time, they didn't let Jiang Xingni handle everything by himself—that would have made them seem too useless.

At least in the beginning, when they fought with Jiang Xingni, it could be considered that they were evenly matched.

The temperature around me suddenly dropped sharply.

The extremely low temperature slowly spread from the foot of the mountain soup, and Jiang Xingni raised his eyes.

She could see the blue power spreading from around the mountain soup, and in just a few seconds, the blue light quickly wrapped around the monster in front of her.

A chill emanated from the eerie creature.

Shan Tang gently clenched his fingertips.

Strands of frost froze on its body.

At first, it opened its mouth wide, twisted and cried out, and its teeth were wriggling inside, almost flying out.

But soon, the entire black ball was frozen in place.

Even when the wind blew through its fur, there was no ripple; the entire monster was frozen solid.

Jiang Xingni curiously leaned closer and then poked the fur ball's open mouth with her fingertip.

Jiang Xingni felt that it was more like a head than a mouth, and now that the mouth was open on its own, it looked more like that "lift your skull.jpg" image.

Shan Qing noticed Jiang Xingni's subtle movements.

She frowned, about to reprimand him, but then remembered that the person in front of her wasn't one of her teammates.

The accusation that was about to spill out was silently swallowed back.

Shan Qing simply stared at the man in black with disapproval—for some reason, a sense of responsibility suddenly arose in her heart.

Jiang Xingni completely ignored the gazes behind him.

The monster was frozen solid.

This tight barrier wasn't just a chill that could be felt from the outside. Like the many ice-type ability users Jiang Xingni had seen at Taixu Academy, the frost formed a thick barrier on the outside, while the monsters inside remained intact and unharmed, even trying to break free and regain their freedom to seek revenge.

The ice caused by the mountain hot springs is a complete and utter freeze.

The low temperature began to spread from the inside of the monster, freezing it solid from the inside out, and thus the monster faced what might be the second death of its life.

Jiang Xing stared at what was in front of him and suddenly recalled his childhood when his parents were still alive.

Jiang Xingni has been growing up in the Lower City since she can remember.

Tuhe is located in the north, where winters are always long. Jiang Xingni remembered that Jiang Qishi once took her to an ice and snow amusement park.

In the amusement park made of accumulated ice, Jiang Xingnian looked around and spotted a fish in one particular block of ice.

It's unclear when she was frozen in the ice, but she miraculously escaped being cut by the ice block and remained intact inside, left for tourists like her to admire.

Jiang Xingni lowered his eyes, weighed the strange weight in his hand, and then threw it to Shan Tang.

"Return it to its rightful owner," she said lazily.

Anyway, this was captured using Shan Tang's special ability.

Even if Jiang Xingni brings her back to Taixu Academy, she still has to explain to the people at the research institute—logically speaking, she should still be in her hospital bed—why she was able to catch the monster while she was still in her hospital bed.

Shantang took the black ball from in front of him and put it into his backpack.

Rustling.

I think I heard a sound.

"..." Shan Tang paused for a moment. "Shan Qing, did you hear that?"

When Shanqing heard Shantang calling him, he turned his head and listened intently.

For a moment, everyone in the room fell silent.

Old houses have always had poor sound insulation.

Even after everyone quieted down, whispers could still be heard from the next room, people walking around on the roof, the sound of a television playing, and the sound of chopping meat with a knife.

A breeze was blowing outside the window, and it blew into the room through the open window.

"Too many sounds," Shan Qing said softly. "What should I be hearing?"

Shan Tang didn't know how to describe the sounds he heard.

"It looks like a cockroach crawling." He thought for a moment and came up with the most fitting metaphor in his mind.

Shan Tang couldn't imagine any metaphor that could better describe the sound he heard.

Something was crawling inside the wall, crawling in the sound, crawling up his ear and into his brain; the sound was crawling in his brain.

He frowned.

Looking around, there was nothing unusual except for the monster that had just been killed.

Only Jiang Xingni could see it.

Her home, her current home, her former home, is a sea of ​​flesh surging and rolling out from within the walls.

The black, fleshy waves rustled as they writhed.

It looks like a cockroach.
