The black dagger escaped into the night, slowly circled in the sky, and fell into the hands of a thin man. The man stroked the body of the dagger and murmured, "I'm back!"
The dagger turned into a metal snake and climbed up his arm to his shoulder. It chirped a few times, full of joy.
The man was Luo Kai. He jumped to the top of a tree and looked up at the stars in the sky. Everything in the world gave him a different feeling again. The electromagnetic waves, radiation, and all kinds of microscopic particles in the air were clear in his mind.
Every time he wandered on the edge of life and death, it would always make it easier for him to forget the boundary between the material and the self. Only by forgetting the boundary between the material and the self could he be integrated with everything. Only now could he be considered to have truly glimpsed the microscopic world.
Microscopic particles were not just a kind of material energy, they also had the characteristics of "spirit". The macroscopic world was complex and varied, but the microscopic world was not monotonous and tasteless. When a grain of sand was magnified hundreds of billions of times, the scene it presented was a colorful and vast world. Countless clouds of electrons were orbiting around the nucleus of an atom, it was very similar to the galaxy.
Luo Kai moved his mind. Countless microscopic particles were absorbed by his skin and transformed into bio-energy to repair and transform every cell. A feeling of surging vitality arose spontaneously. He felt that he seemed to have the tendency to integrate with them. It could be imagined that when he truly transformed into microscopic particles, it would be the time when he became a god!
Standing on the top of the tree in a daze for a while, his body and mind gradually returned. His consciousness expanded, and all the subtle changes in the whole city were reflected in his mind. He deeply frowned, the situation of human beings was far more dangerous than he had expected.
A large number of rodent type beasts were lurking under the city, and countless dark corners were wandering faintly discernible black fog. Those were the virtual life forms of the negative space, in other words, ghosts. They had completely infiltrated this world.
Because they did not have a physical existence, they would not refract light. Ordinary humans could not see these strange life forms at all. Even if they could sense them, they could not use physical means to harm them. They were completely immune to firearms and bladed soldiers.
At present, these things did not have any particularly powerful physical means of attack. They were good at mental attacks, and even cut off the connection between human consciousness and body. Ordinary people with weak willpower had no power to resist.
…
Under military control, the city's early warning system was very fast. In less than ten minutes, the neighborhood was surrounded by soldiers. Two men in military uniforms checked the scene and their faces turned ugly. The room was filled with broken organs and two shriveled corpses, one big and one small.
The two of them looked at each other and asked Zhang Wenqian, who was in a daze, "Are you saying that your sister-in-law wanted to violate you?
Then a dagger suddenly appeared in the room and killed her? "
Zhang Wenqian wiped away the tears on her face and nodded with a pale face. Then, she shook her head in confusion and said, "No … no, she is definitely not my sister-in-law. And she … after she died, an old woman came out of her body … and then she was killed by that sword."
The two men looked at each other and said, "Alright, we understand the situation. Come back with us and make a detailed statement.
The next day, Zhang Wenqian left the garrison unit in a daze. Her brother and nephew had been killed by that monster, and her family was all dead. What was the point of living alone?
On the second floor of the garrison unit, a man with sharp eyebrows stood by the window and looked at Zhang Wenqian's bleak back. His eyes were filled with sympathy. He sighed and said, "Another family that has been harmed!"
A man in uniform behind him also sighed and said, "Yes, these strange creatures can pass through walls and enter the ground. It's impossible to catch them."
The appearance of the incorporeal life forms had, of course, attracted the attention of the higher-ups. They were afraid of causing panic in society, so they had been keeping it a secret.
There were many hidden talents among the humans. Among them, the most mysterious successor of the Celestial Master Sect in the Judicial Department had finally appeared in the Body Arts Association Headquarters. He had taught them a way to deal with the incorporeal life forms. In fact, it was to apply a kind of radioactive paint on weapons that could harm the souls of the incorporeal life forms. However, these creatures were extremely vigilant. They would immediately burrow into the ground at the slightest movement.
There was also a young woman in the room. She frowned and asked, "Inspector Lee, did you find out what kind of incorporeal life form did this?"
Inspector Lee thought back and said, "According to the scene and Zhang Wenqian's words, this incorporeal life form's rank must be very high. It can already possess a human body. Furthermore, she was a high-tier physical warrior, and she was unable to resist at all. The incorporeal life form's power is probably on par with a physical master. It should be a level three incorporeal life form."
The young woman's face paled. Currently, humans classified incorporeal life forms into five levels. If one was invaded by a level one incorporeal life form, they would become irritable or depressed, unable to sleep at night, and their vitality would slowly drain away. However, they would not die immediately. Level two incorporeal life forms would accelerate the process. These two levels were considered parasitic attacks. Level three and above incorporeal life forms were extremely scary. They could even invade the mind of a physical master.
The human body could be invaded by microbes from the outside world, and so could the mind. Technically speaking, incorporeal life forms were a kind of mental virus. Facing these incorporeal life forms that directly attacked the mind, humans did not have a good way to deal with them. Thankfully, level three incorporeal life forms were very rare, and so far, there were only a single digit number of them.
However, strangely enough, incorporeal life forms rarely attacked other creatures other than humans. Or rather, other creatures had a great resistance against them. It was as if these incorporeal life forms were created for humans.
The man with the dashing eyebrows muttered, "According to what she said, the person who did this did not show up. He only used a sword to kill this incorporeal life form. Even a physical master can't do that … Zhang Wenqian's energy infusion has already reached more than 50. She can be considered a half-step physical master, but she doesn't even know who did it. Hmm … Anyway, this person must be a super master. Xiao Jing, go to the physical arts association later and ask if there's a powerful physical master who came to Beihai County to get rid of this thing."
"Okay."
The woman named Xiao Jing nodded and then asked, "Boss, the military warned that a large group of ice beasts might fly to Beihai County. What can we do?"
The man with the dashing eyebrows sighed deeply. "Sigh, a group of beasts is not something we can interfere with. Let's protect a few important resource centers in the city."
…
Zhang Wenqian's face was full of tears as she walked aimlessly on the street. Unknowingly, she walked to a bridge. Looking at the flowing river under the bridge, she suddenly had the urge to jump down.
Just as this thought surfaced, a faint voice sounded in her ear. "Humans are like millions of ants in this world. The only purpose of any life form's existence is to live."
Zhang Wenqian opened her eyes blankly and looked behind her. A thin man stood behind her. It was the tramp under the bridge. She wiped the tears on her cheeks and said sadly, "What's the point of living alone? It's better to die."
The man shook his head and said, "You're not living for others. You're living for yourself."
Zhang Wenqian ignored him and turned to walk home. As she walked, she realized that the man was actually following behind her. She immediately said angrily, "Go back to your broken bridge. Why are you following me?"
The man's voice softened. "You've sent me food 12 times. I want to see if there's anything I can help you with."
"I don't need your help. Go do what you need to do." Zhang Wenqian said angrily.
After a while, she turned around and realized that the man was still following her. Looking at his thin physique, she could not help but feel her heart soften. In this world, there were probably not many homeless families that could remain intact. She did not say anything.
After returning home, she looked at the empty house and felt sad. She could not help but cry again.
The man stood at the door and looked for a while. Then, he walked into the house and began to clean the room and clean up the bloodstains.
After a long time, Zhang Wenqian raised her head with tears in her eyes. Looking at the clean and tidy room, she finally said, "What's your name?"
The man turned his head and looked at her with a pair of deep eyes. He replied softly, "My name is Luo Kai." He could now deal with the Evil God's assassination through space. There was no need for him to hide.
