I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature

Chapter 1598 - 1131: Distinctions

In the control room, Chiang Wei was puzzled as she watched where Zheng Yichen headed. What was the point of looking for a lake where trees were supposed to be planted?

Zheng Yichen was very efficient. After arriving on-site, Chiang Wei glanced at Doris, who had switched bodies. The body Doris was using now was specifically for combat.

Its strength was very high, designed by Little Holy Maiden Lillian and created by Zheng Yichen. As for everyday usage, it served as her bodyguard when she went out.

Chiang Wei’s own body strength was sufficiently high, but she wasn’t adept in combat.

Next, Doris needed to perform a corresponding information scan on-site. She definitely wouldn’t be able to get all the information recorded by Lilith, but as long as some information could be acquired, there could be corresponding improvements.

"What’s been going on in Hazy City lately??"

Julie looked puzzled at the place where the alarm sounded, glanced at the woman beside her, and immediately showed obvious disdain, "Can’t you stop following me?"

The Proxy Agent beside her was the one with the ability of pain transformation, named Tongyue. Her pain transformation ability had Julie completely under her control. Julie’s forte, the curses, when applied to her, only made this woman stronger.

In a normal state, the opponent wasn’t as powerful as her, but once the fight began, things changed. As Life type Proxy Agents, they could not instantly defeat each other.

Without pain transformation, Julie could fight two Tongyues on her own. However, since the opponent had such an ability, at the start of the fight, Julie could handle two of them, but as it went on, the opponent could take on two Julies or even more.

The accumulation efficiency of pain through curses was just too high.

And her pain transformation seemed to have no limit. No, it wasn’t that there was no limit; the limit was just too high, making Julie realize why the opponent specialized in the Life type.

The Life type allowed her to possess a higher pain tolerance, as she wasn’t enduring pain without harm.

Injuries would bring pain, but injuries were injuries; blood loss was unavoidable. Without good constitution, this ability couldn’t exert its corresponding intensity.

But she followed the Life type route to make up for this shortcoming, allowing the strength of this ability to manifest.

The other party was fond of her mainly because of Julie’s curses. Julie had too many curses that could avoid ’blood loss’ while inducing intense pain.

Although Tongyue herself was also adept at some curses and other methods that induced pain, the power Tongyue excelled at was incomparable to Julie’s. Compared to some of Julie’s curses, Tongyue’s methods weren’t as effective and resulted in more damage.

Julie considered herself ruthless, but Tongyue was even more ruthless.

The opponent’s ability enabled her to have an extremely high perception of pain; what would be just a light skin scratch for others could feel like a slash for Tongyue.

And that’s not all. The key was that she possessed this trait without having adopted any methods to transform pain into other sensations. For Life type experts, managing this wasn’t difficult.

But just because it wasn’t difficult didn’t mean they wanted to do it. Tongyue would rather endure pain dozens of times more intense than change it, and Julie had no interest in changing either.

Zheng Yichen too, as well as the other Life type Proxy Agents she knew, were all similar. The higher the level they reached on the Life type path, the less they liked to meddle with the basic aspects.

They could modify and adjust appearance, muscle structure, body structure, and so on, but pain and touch, along with some other sensations, were almost never touched voluntarily.

Even if there was a need, it was only a temporary change, and it would revert back afterward.

But in this aspect, Julie hadn’t made changes for a simple reason: using it too much could easily cause a distortion in these basic aspects.

For example, touch could be amplified by adjusting life state, but she preferred to enhance this through her own strength rather than trying to improve the sensation in this way.

Such enhancement was the most standard in any case.

The issue was that under standard circumstances, no extra adjustments were needed. However, if the pain itself was abnormal, that was a different story.

Moreover, this abnormal pain perception of Tongyue was synchronized with her soul, which meant that even if she switched to a new body, she would still have this extraordinary pain perception.

Yet, this woman didn’t go insane because of it, acting just like a normal person, which was the most ruthless aspect of her.

Not only Tongyue, but the other Proxy Agents not here also all had some degree of ’serious issues’, Julie included.

Does that mean Proxy Agents... are all like this?

Julie thought about it—Zheng Yichen didn’t seem to have such serious issues, or at least from her interactions with him so far; he seemed quite normal.

Or maybe their interactions hadn’t been deep enough, so any problems hadn’t been discovered?

"What’s wrong with me that you want to get rid of me?"

"...You’re just too good, I can’t handle it!" Julie said with a frown. This woman was for everyone, hitting on ’Chang Qing’, and also targeting her.

Although at first, Julie was the one who started with unhealthy thoughts when she caught the woman’s attention, after two actions together.

Tongyue took the initiative to come over and forcefully hit it off.

Julie wanted to find a target she could ’abuse’, but it definitely wasn’t someone like Tongyue. She preferred targets who didn’t act responsibly and thought they had everything under control, thinking they could manipulate all situations.

Finding such a person, watching them fall from confidence to the abyss of hysterical collapse, is a scene she never tires of watching.

Just like the Curse Master she tracked down and tore apart with her own hands in the past.

It was the first time in her life she felt ’joy,’ and it was the most memorable joy she had ever experienced, surpassing even physical pleasure.

Julie knew that doing this could easily backfire, but as long as she could keep getting stronger, it wouldn’t backfire. She found joy in dealing with small fries, and even more joy in confronting those of a higher status.

Tongyue was really not within the range to ’please’ her; someone like Zheng Yichen, on the other hand, was a legitimate ’partner’ choice.

"Don’t you enjoy this sort of thing?"

"But I don’t like your kind of thing, get away from me! Here’s the curse you wanted, stop bothering me!" Julie severed her pinky finger and handed it directly to Tongyue.

During the process, her missing pinky had already returned to normal.

"You know, this is not what I want. It’s rare for Proxy Agents to communicate, and now that we have such an opportunity, it shouldn’t be like this." Tongyue wore a harmless smile on her face.

Julie showed an even more disdainful expression: "You just want it all!"

"That’s right."

Julie didn’t speak further, rushing toward the source of the alarm sound. In her perception, she could sense the life force of Zheng Yichen.

But there was something even more terrifying over there, a presence claiming to be life, yet different from normal life.

Tongyue put away the curse-laden finger Julie gave her and quickly followed.

Not only them, but other beings living in Hazy City were also paying attention to the source of the alarm.

Those who once visited Hazy City knew there was an untouchable presence here. But now, they were shocked; what could be so bold?

Daring to provoke that ’untouchable’ presence directly here?

The more skilled ones approached, wanting to see the situation. If that untouchable presence were to die, Hazy City would surely become lively.

People who originally thought this place was fine would immediately leave.

"...How are we supposed to investigate this??" muttered a Scout, who was extremely troubled. There seemed to be an issue on the southern forest side yesterday, related to the Proxy Agents.

Now, another problem has arisen in another part of Hazy City, still connected to Zheng Yichen.

They were ordered to investigate matters related to Zheng Yichen.

The issue is that the current situation was not something they could manage to investigate. The fog at the crime scene was too dense; normally, phenomena within fog are quite visible.

Or rather, phenomena are generally clearer within the fog.

But this fog completely obscured the phenomenon, and the intense energy fluctuations made the Scout feel like they would disintegrate at any moment.

Even from a distance, it felt that way. If they approached, with the Scout’s small frame, they would most likely disintegrate instantly. Their special nature dictated their lack of strength.

Despite this, the Scout still actively approached the source of the alarm. With the mission as it was, even if it meant death, they had to perish like an ordinary bystander caught in the crossfire.

Before dying, they needed to ensure the related information was transmitted.

Boom—a muffled tremor resounded. The loud noise caused little impact, as if the high-energy alarm area was constrained.

"Did you record anything?" From inside the Firmament Wheel, Chiang Wei watched the battle below, inquiring about Doris’s situation.

"...There’s a record, sorry, I can’t communicate properly right now."

Doris’s voice came intermittently. Even with assistance from the Firmament Wheel, she remained in a ’Red Warmth’ state. Or perhaps it was precisely with the Firmament Wheel’s help that she reached Red Warmth.

The Firmament Wheel enhanced her information-gathering capability, allowing her to access information emitted by the World’s Will.

If she were to record it by herself, she wouldn’t be able to access information of this level, thus feeling no pressure...

But now that she accessed it, pressure immediately emerged. Even if the effective information she could retain was minimal, that little bit could greatly affect her.

After her crystal core acquired some of the effective information, it underwent slight changes, but that was about it. The gap between her and Lilith was vast, and her capacity for related information had limits with very low levels of interpretation.

Compared to Lilith, they seemed to have tapped into the same non-open-air, high-content gold mine.

Lilith had a full set of mining and refining tools, while she only had her hands, able to obtain gold but ultimately far less than Lilith.

Still, what she gained, though less, was high-value resource acquisition.
