Chapter 704: Anomalies Can Be Good or Bad

Before the monster in front of them uttered the name Xu Lina, no one on the scene thought this creature looked anything like her.

But after it spoke her name, everyone began to feel that the monster looked more and more like her.

Those eyebrows and eyes, that facial structure...

Except for the expression, demeanor, and temperament...

Ever since Xu Lina became a Symbiosis Sequence superhuman, perhaps because the pressure of death had been shadowing her every step, her facial expressions had grown fewer and fewer, and she had become colder and colder overall.

But this thing in front of them, smiling like a blooming flower with delicate features like a painting, looked far more pleasant than Xu Lina's cold face.

And far more flirtatious too!

Well, using the word "flirtatious" on an Anomaly really did make one feel... quite unsettled.

Chen Ye and Sun Xixi's entire bodies jolted when they heard the name, and they quickly turned their heads.

Xu Lina was right beside them!

And at this moment, Xu Lina looked like a frightened black cat, her entire being on high alert.

Both hands gripping her gun, pointing it directly at the thing across from her that looked exactly like herself.

Her pupils were shaking violently, as if she had received a tremendous shock.

The red tail behind her head also seemed to trigger a stress response, raising itself up like a snake.

When she heard her own name spill out of an Anomaly's mouth.

Xu Lina felt like she had been electrocuted. In that instant, a dense layer of goosebumps broke out all over her body.

That monster... right in front of her, that face was clearly her own.

When faced with that face identical to hers, Xu Lina felt a tremor rising from the depths of her soul.

Seeing Chen Ye and Sun Xixi looking at her.

Xu Lina stammered: "I... I..."

After saying "I" twice, she found herself at a loss for words.

Chen Ye cut off whatever Xu Lina was about to say. Now was not the time to dwell on such things.

Xu Lina immediately shut her mouth and shifted her body closer to Chen Ye's direction.

As if being nearer to Chen Ye was the only way to feel safe.

The Pink-haired Girl couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Xu Lina's little movements at the moment, redirecting her focus to the thing in front of them.

Chen Ye held Hatred and Hundred-Ghost Eater in each hand, his entire being on maximum alert, a cigarette dangling from his lips, one blood-red eye locked onto the "Xu Lina" across from him.

He looked exactly like a villain straight out of a TV show or movie.

Even Dantai Bie was startled, though he breathed a slight sigh of relief after seeing that Xu Lina was unharmed.

"Hehe... humans, do you think I peeled off that woman's skin and wore it?"

"Hehe... humans are so amusing!"

"I can become anyone, whether it's a man..."

With that, the thing across from them transformed into Chen Ye's likeness.

"Or a woman..."

The thing only maintained Chen Ye's form for less than a second before shifting into Sun Xixi's appearance.

"Take a look, how's this skin of mine?"

The thing showed itself off in front of everyone, looking exactly like the Pink-haired Girl.

Though in that half-lit, half-dark environment, it wasn't all that clear.

But it was indeed Sun Xixi's appearance.

Except for the expression on its face being different.

This ability of the thing left everyone utterly dumbfounded.

It was often said that Anomalies each had their own bizarre abilities.

But the ability to become another person with just a wave of the hand, and to transform so accurately, even changing the clothes along with the form, was truly extremely bizarre.

If this ability had existed before the apocalypse...

It would definitely be the most amazing ability ever. Changing identities to scam loan apps, it would be absolutely freaking amazing.

"But this skin doesn't have much feminine charm. Not good. I still prefer Xu Lina's skin!"

"Seductive, gentle, full of womanly appeal."

With that, the thing transformed back into Xu Lina's appearance.

The Pink-haired Girl's face darkened like the bottom of a pot. This was the first time someone had told her she lacked feminine charm.

But this wasn't the time to dwell on that either.

The thing in front of them might have other abilities. Otherwise, there was no way it could bring such a powerful sense of oppression to everyone.

"Don't be nervous, I mean you no harm!"

Seeing that everyone was tense, the "Xu Lina" in front of them covered her mouth and smiled, a smile that bloomed like a hundred flowers in spring.

Dantai Bie had still been somewhat clear-headed after seeing the "Xu Lina"'s transformation ability earlier.

But now that he saw the thing transform back again, Dantai Bie got confused once more, and his face started turning red again.

It had to be said, the cold-faced Xu Lina was very beautiful.

But this Xu Lina, smiling like a garden in full bloom, also possessed a very unique charm, with an extra touch of warmth.

"Actually, I used to be human too. I just don't remember my former identity very well!"

"Xu Lina" assumed a thoughtful expression.

"I don't remember who I was before, but now... I guess I should count as a good Anomaly!"

"Yeah, the kind you're thinking of!"

Seeing the strange expressions on Chen Ye and Sun Xixi's faces, "Xu Lina" wore a look of great dissatisfaction.

Her little brows furrowed, looking utterly pitiable.

"Humans can be good or bad, so why can't Anomalies be divided into good and bad?"

"I didn't kill any of your companions. Doesn't that prove it?"

"Xu Lina" pointed at Iron Lion, who had been saved by Sun Xixi.

Iron Lion was currently lying on the ground, looking like he was asleep.

"Don't worry, I didn't do anything to him. He's just sleeping!"

"Such an ugly thing, I have no interest in it!"

Ugly?

Chen Ye took a look at Iron Lion.

Well, compared to Xu Lina, Iron Lion really was somewhat ugly.

But the fact that this thing could subdue a Sequence 3 Titan with just a wave of its hand was truly terrifying.

"Humans, are you planning to cleanse all the Anomalies from Xi City?"

That pleasant voice came through again.

While speaking, this "Xu Lina" would even casually show off her figure.

Mm...

Well, it really was quite impressive!

Such little tricks. The old Xu Lina might have done that, but the current "Xu Lina" had long since transformed into an ice queen under the pressure of death.

"How do you know?"

Chen Ye didn't speak, but Dantai Bie spoke up instead.

Chen Ye wasn't upset. Since Dantai Bie wanted to take the conversation, let him.

"Hehe... you people... I knew the moment you first arrived here!"

"Actually, I thought you would die in that hotel!"

"The thing in that hotel is truly terrifying!"

"You guys have some nerve!"

"I wouldn't even dare to go near it, yet you went in more than once! Tsk tsk..."

"No wonder you humans are almost extinct!"

As she said this, the "Xu Lina" in front of them wore a terrified expression.

As if she had truly thought of something horrible.

"What's in there?"

Sun Xixi took half a step forward.

The thing in Haosheng Hotel, though they had sealed the hotel without seeing its full form.

But whatever was in there, even she, a Sequence 4 Sword Immortal, felt a sense of helplessness against it.

"What a rude little girl!"

Seeing the Pink-haired Girl's aggressive demeanor, "Xu Lina" let out a cold snort of displeasure.

"But, since you're so pretty, I can tell you..."

Well, turns out this thing judged people by their looks too?

"The thing in there is extremely, extremely terrifying. Even I wouldn't want to provoke it!"

"If you ever encounter that thing again, all of you will die!"

Chen Ye rolled his eyes.

The hell, what was the difference between saying that and saying nothing?

Was she the Nonsense Master?

"Cough... so even you don't know what that thing in there actually is?"

Chen Ye couldn't help but speak up.

Was this Anomaly in front of him... a bit slow in the head?

"Ugly thing, I don't want to answer your question!"

"Things that are too ugly shouldn't talk to me! I'm afraid of being infected by your ugliness."

"Shoo shoo shoo, stay away from me..."

With that, the "Xu Lina" across from them wore a look of pure disgust, looking Chen Ye up and down with utmost contempt!

She even scooted her body back a little, placing herself deeper into the darkness.

As if she genuinely feared that Chen Ye's ugliness might rub off on her.
