Even though over the past year, Meng Chao had already cut off most of the paths leading to Bai Jiacao turning into the Dark Witch.
Based on his parents' reactions, she behaved like a normal middle school student who studied hard every day.
But the possibility of her being corrupted did not decrease by even a tiny bit!
This was something that bothered Meng Chao.
He still had no clues about the cross-shaped eye that had appeared in his mother's notebook.
Now, Bai Jiacao was incredibly sharp. With just one glance, she could tell the secret behind Superstar being able to eat Spirit Creation Creatures.
No matter how he looked at it, her intelligence far surpassed that of a normal middle school student.
Meng Chao did not know how he should ask, so he could only beat around the bush. "Little Cao, have you had any … strange thoughts lately?"
"Huh?"
"It's when I suddenly become really evil and dark, like I want to take revenge on society or something."
Bai Jiacao exclaimed, "W-What?!"
"For example, at some point in time, I suddenly had an urge that I couldn't control, and I became really bloodthirsty or wanted to step on me."
"… I don't have any bloodthirsty thoughts or thoughts of taking revenge on society, but I think about stepping on you every day," Bai Jiacao could not help but say.
Bai Jiacao could not help but say, "Big Brother, I should be the one asking you that question. I feel like you're the one who's been acting strange lately. How should I put it? Sometimes, when you go home and curl up in a corner, you become really profound and mysterious. It's as if you're wrapped in a thick layer of black fog, and no one can see through you."
His sister was right.
Meng Chao also noticed that the greatest change brought to him by the special training from the abnormal beast research department and the increase in contribution points was not in his body, but in his mind and memories.
The originally fragmented and mottled memories of his previous life were lit up one by one and pieced together again. Gradually, he could form the full picture of many of the "major events" in his previous life.
At the same time he awakened to the skills from his previous life, he also came to understand just how much his previous self, his sister, Dragon City, and his compatriots had changed.
The incredibly bleak future did not start on the day the apocalypse arrived.
On the contrary, the arrival of the apocalypse was like a release. It drew a sigh on the end of Dragon City's dark fate.
Meng Chao finally understood why all his memories could not be instantly awakened a year ago when he had just returned to the past.
The memories of his previous life were like black venom. If he had awakened them while he was in high school, even if he did not burn all his brain cells in half a second, his personality would have been completely devoured by the apocalyptic Meng Chao, who was a high school student.
Then, the current Dragon City would definitely have a cold, cunning killing machine that no longer had any normal human emotions.
Such a killing machine was destined to be unable to change the future and shatter the Apocalypse.
In the past few months, his body had indeed undergone earth-shattering changes.
Physically, he was half a head taller, and his shoulders were broader.
Due to the stimulation of the secret technique, his muscles did not seem bloated or bloated. Instead, they looked like an iron rod wrapped in rubber, soft yet strong, as if they were one entity.
When he had just awakened to his spirit energy, the problem of spirit tattoos appearing all over his body and spirit energy spilling out was completely solved. Now, he could absorb every wisp of spirit energy into his pores, and through his capillaries, he could deliver it to his 1,024 branch meridians.
Even if he tightened his muscles and all his nerves and spirit meridians were like springs that had been compressed to the max, he still looked like a normal citizen.
Due to the spirit energy eruption in Raging Waves, all the new superhumans who had been nourished by the spirit energy in the northern frontlines had their fighting strength and cultivation realms increase by leaps and bounds. They were known as the Golden Generation.
The students who did not know Meng Chao found it hard to believe that he was the brightest and most outstanding person in the Golden Generation when they saw him.
Only a handful of people who were rather close to him and were special, such as his younger sister who had Night Demon blood, could sense the truest side of his heart.
There was also Lu Siya.
Not only had Lu Siya sponsored the Broken Star Club, she had also invested real money in the purchase of Superstar and Spirit Creations Creatures to help Meng Chao. She was also the instructor for one-third of Meng Chao's training courses, so she spent a lot of time with him.
As a Spirit Sensor, she could naturally sense the venomous skills and memories that came from the Ghost Tribe and his incredibly bleak future surging out of Meng Chao's mind endlessly.
There was one thing that she could not help but ask Meng Chao, "Do you know?"
"Know what?" Meng Chao retorted.
"You're very dangerous."
Lu Siya stared at him and said, "I can sense an incredibly dangerous presence from you. If you walk quietly behind me at night, I'll definitely feel my skin crawl and I'll even scream. Damn it, I'm already at Heaven Realm. Even Captain Ye won't give me this sort of … feeling that I can't control him or even spy on him.
"It's just a few months of incomplete training. Can it really give you the effect of being reborn like this?
"To normal superhumans, when they join the abnormal beast research department's special training, they will turn from a stubborn rock into a jade.
"But to you, there's no need to polish them. This so-called special training is just a light tap on your disguise to create a crack. It'll peel off your outer shell and reveal your true self."
Meng Chao had nothing to say to that.
He could only scratch his head and smile foolishly.
"Looks like you know about it."
Lu Siya sighed and said, "Promise me that you won't put on such an honest and innocent expression in front of me, okay?
"Do you know that when you put on that expression, you're like an Apocalyptic Beast with flesh and blood stuck in its teeth. You're smiling foolishly and innocently. Not only does it not help to get rid of the awkward atmosphere, it makes you look even more terrifying!"
In any case, his cultivation, the expansion of the Broken Star Club, the purchase case from Superstar and Spirit Creation Creatures, the special training from the abnormal beast research department, and the awakening of his previous life's memories filled up his mind. He was so busy that he might not even be able to sleep for two hours even if he worked for three days and three nights. Time passed by quickly. In the blink of an eye, even the summer vacation passed by in the blink of an eye.
When the special training ended, the purchase case was completed, and the construction of the new headquarters of the Broken Star Club started, Meng Chao could finally stop and catch his breath. It was only then that he noticed that it had been more than a month since the start of his sophomore year!
He was not the only one. Over the past few months, Dragon City seemed to have entered the fast lane, and a lot of major events had happened.
First of all, once they gained full victory in the northern offense, Dragon City had more soldiers with great fighting experience than in his previous life. They could pour them into the expansion of the frontlines.
The golden combination of the superhuman squads and the Red Dragon Army swept through the eastern, southern, and western parts of the city like a tornado sweeping through everything in its path. They occupied a few strategically important places one after another.
Wherever the humans' weapons went, the fog dissipated like smoke in thin air.
The monsters that only knew how to howl and charge forward with their claws and teeth were just using their bodies to waste some of the humans' ammunition.
Compared to the ores and resources under their feet, this amount of ammunition was nothing.
There were also quite a number of monsters who evolved and mutated just like what Meng Chao remembered in his previous life. They awakened to more inborn abilities and mutated abilities when they were near death, which caused some trouble for the humans.
But Meng Chao had already spread the Ultimate Style, the Future One Hundred Saber Techniques, the three great force execution methods, and other future martial arts that specifically targeted mutated monsters through the Broken Star Club, Yan Organization, and other organizations.
And the superhumans who had been baptized by the spirit energy of Raging Waves were stronger than the Dragon City of his previous life.
Even though there were bloody battles where corpses were strewn all over the place when humans clashed with the mutated monsters, in the end, after a certain amount of sacrifices were made, the humans could always obtain satisfactory results. They set up impregnable bridgeheads and forward operating bases around Dragon City in the wild that was originally shrouded in fog.
The broken-star superhumans performed exceptionally well in a few battles where they had an unstoppable momentum.
They practiced the Ultimate Style, and it had a clear counter effect against mutated monsters.
The future fighting techniques Meng Chao taught them also increased their killing efficiency by leaps and bounds.
As a result, the status of many of the broken-star superhumans in their squads, forces of power, and companies increased by leaps and bounds.
The number of broken-star superhumans who applied to join the Broken Star Club also increased by leaps and bounds.
Even quite a number of low-grade superhumans who had awakened normally were asking around just what sort of organization the Broken Star Club was and what sort of requirements they had to join it.
When they faced the humans' aggressive offense, the monsters would definitely launch a counterattack.
The abnormal beasts with great intelligence did not choose to charge at the humans' steel defense line in the wild.
Instead, when the space-time rifts opened, they took the initiative to crawl into Dragon City.
Ever since June, Dragon Citizens could clearly sense that the monsters who wandered into Dragon City had become smarter when the fog descended.
In the past, whenever the fog descended and the monsters entered Dragon City in a daze, they would always gather together and be attracted by the humans' lights and fireworks. Then, they would charge at the residential areas and skyscrapers without a care in the world.
Then, they would be killed by the electromagnetic towers, machine gun towers, intersecting 3D firepower networks, and the citizens who were waiting for them.
Not only did they not cause much damage, their flesh and blood also turned into raw materials for building Dragon City and maintaining the operations of civilization.
But now, when the fog descended, there were still a large number of monsters who charged forward in vain, just like before.
But there were also quite a number of monsters who knew how to sneak into the ventilation shafts, sewers, building ruins, and all sorts of dark and narrow corners.
Once the war-ready state was lifted, the citizens would come out to work, study, and live normally. Then, they would jump out of the dark corners and attack the important underground pipes, attack the citizens who were alone, destroy the important facilities that were related to the people's livelihood, and use all sorts of methods to cause trouble.
When human beings sent out exploration and hunting teams to search for the "saboteurs", they rarely chose to confront them head-on. Instead, they played hide-and-seek with human beings with the help of the complicated city ruins and the underground network of tubes. Even when they were cornered, they would actively secrete special hormones and turn themselves into "biochemical bombs", causing the greatest damage to human beings.
