Monster Dismantling Company

Chapter 4 The Monster's Malevolent Aura

"So what's today...?"

He stood up and glanced in the mirror—the answer lay in that first glance.

His eyes were shining.

A fiery light radiated from his eyes. His sight, smell, taste... all five senses were enhanced. The world became incredibly clear, and his mind became sharper. As a result, his face glowed, and he was full of energy.

This extra energy from his heart meridian greatly enhanced his five senses. However, he also needed to extract this extra energy from his heart meridian. Otherwise, going out every day with "pay-to-win eyes" would be too troublesome.

However, Li Lin also had his own solution – one could say he had become a doctor through long-term illness.

In reality, the desire beyond the heart pulse is a very peculiar one. It doesn't require strong sensory stimulation to satisfy, but it does need some "novel" experience.

If he has nothing else to do, Li Lin usually chooses to go out for a nice meal, order some dishes he hasn't tried before, and experiment with new cooking methods—after all, he's actually quite lazy. If he wants a novel experience, going out for a nice meal is more energy-efficient.

"Hmm... I have to see some guests off today, so I'll try making braised pork, which I've been wanting to make for a while now."

I'm going to dismantle Taba today, and the meat I get can be used to make braised meat. Giving away food I made myself is a thoughtful gesture.

And, trying some Taba meat on-site today is also a good option.

He finished washing up as usual. Master Wang knocked on his door at the appointed time—he needed to come early to check on Li Lin's condition that day.

"Oh." Master Wang chuckled, "Your eyes are shining, it's time for some kind of treacherous corruption today."

"I already told you I don't understand your old jokes. I've never used them before."

"It's a pity we can't find any pieces right now, otherwise I would have definitely dragged you into the trap. It's a lot of fun." As he spoke, he handed the sunglasses to Li Lin.

He had everything prepared. As long as the "scar" on his forehead didn't mutate, he had a way to deal with it.

It's actually easier to conceal shining eyes than having horns on your head.

Because working at the Monster Disassembly Company requires wearing goggles. Just put sunglasses on Li Lin.

Li Lin took the sunglasses and put them on his eyes.

Master Wang tilted his head, looking left and right: "Why does it seem to be getting brighter and brighter? It looks like yesterday, and the horns that have grown out are also a bit bigger than before."

"They're still growing, what can I do—can anyone tell from the outside?"

"There are two faint glare spots on my sunglasses. But it's okay, it shouldn't be too noticeable before nightfall. There are also sun-blocking panels on my work clothes, so it's fine—alright, let's get ready to go. Everything's ready."

In accordance with relevant regulations, production, work, and classes have been suspended in Ningzhou today. The alarm was lifted after the monster's death was confirmed, and citizens who had emerged from their shelters gathered on the breakwater at the dock.

After all, watching monsters decompose is a popular form of entertainment these days, and many people will come to the shore to watch the process even if they don't have a day off. If nothing unexpected happens, this will be just another ordinary day.

On the beach, Li Lin got out of the car after arriving through the work passage. The bustling crowd on the breakwater gave him the illusion that he was a gladiator, and the 100,000-ton mountain of flesh on the beach was his opponent.

"It's so noisy..."

He felt dizzy as soon as he got off the bus.

Normally nothing happens. But today, with countless people talking here, his senses are almost overloaded.

But soon, the wonderful fragrance made him feel like he was bathed in a spring breeze:

Within a few breaths, a strong sea breeze blew in from the sea, filling my mouth with the smell of roasted meat—it was the smell of roasted catfish, charred and with a fishy sweetness.

This cunning monster darted near and far, circling three times in the western Pacific. Just before it launched its attack on the coast, the defense forces finally caught up with the elusive creature.

The skull, pierced by the thermoelectric weapon, was roasted until charred on the outside and tender on the inside, resembling the head of a catfish. The hole blasted open by the thermoelectric weapon was right near that horn, which was the direct cause of Taba's death. Fatty fat oozed from the wound, dripping onto the still-red-hot animal bones, sizzling and releasing the aroma of roasted fat.

Using a molten metal weapon to pierce its skull at close range is one of the few ways to kill the monster. After all, the monster is so enormous precisely because it possesses supernatural strength that supports its supernatural physique.

At this point, the Ningzhou branch of the defense force had completed the final confirmation and was withdrawing according to procedure, reclaiming the cordon they had set up.

What followed no longer belonged to the battlefield, but to another set of more detailed and lengthy tasks—

A mountain of flesh, weighing 100,000 tons, lay sprawled on the coastline, yet made no sound. The tides branched off and bypassed it at a distance, as if instinctively avoiding that area. The damp sand was pressed hard, offering almost no bounce when stepped on.

Li Lin walked up to Taba and was enveloped in the dark shadow cast by his corpse.

The shadow covered half the beach and even extended below the breakwater, making those standing at the edge of the shadow appear exceptionally small.

At this time, other dismantling companies had also arrived one after another.

The yellow and black warning tape was re-laid, closer to the bodies than the ring set up by the defense forces. The area inside the tape was the work zone; the area outside was where people could move freely. Simple, straightforward markings were sprayed on the ground, roughly dividing the beach into several zones.

The Fire Raven Company's outpost team has also been deployed and assigned to his position.

The workers took their positions one after another, each standing in their familiar spots, checking their equipment and adjusting their protective suits. Some were confirming communications, while others bent down to press their boots firmly into the ground, as if checking the feel of their feet.

Many people are also using instruments to test Taba—but without exception, all detection methods are unable to penetrate Taba's interior.

What supports the monster's supernatural physique is the "evil aura," a name given by the United Government to the supernatural forces surrounding the monster.

This is essentially the same natural phenomenon that Li Lin experiences daily, since the two do indeed originate from the same source. However, Li Lin has the ability to control and utilize this malevolent energy for his own purposes. As for monsters, they often become slaves to the malevolent energy, losing their own reason.

However, while the overflowing malevolent energy can drive monsters mad, it can also bring immense power.

Even though it is only in the initial form of a dragon, Tapa can form a nearly invincible shield through the naturally overflowing evil energy.
