Is it really normal to contain these anomalies?

"So! If you're a street sweeper, then most of the people in this damn place are just street trash!"

"You're the second-best finisher in my eyes! I won't allow you to insult yourself!!"

Really childish...

Now, the 16-year-old girl has given many arguments, seemingly just to refute his "insults" to her.

Bai Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

But after a few seconds, looking at Mu's still serious face.

He also nodded very seriously.

"Understood, Captain Miao. From now on, Bai will continue to act according to your instructions! I will definitely not let you down!"

"Hey! I'm not kidding!"

Perhaps, only in front of Bai Yu could this level 5 finisher appear so anxious.

"Bai Yu! Are you listening to me?"

"I'm listening...Okay, no more jokes."

Bai Yu finally interrupted her with a smile, and then spoke softly.

"I'll deal with the remaining chefs who crossed the line tomorrow. You should go to bed early too."

He finally felt a scar on the back of her head left by the battle that day.

"Are you angry?" Miao suddenly realized that he might be a little angry, so he asked in a low voice.

"No."

Bai Yu gently poured a bottle of healing potion onto the ends of her hair.

He just gave his assurance in silence.

"Dealing with them is just the Guardian's job..."

Chapter 232 Mutation

Responsibilities?

This stuff is really weird.

After all, this is clearly just a core suppression. After completing this mission, everything here will disappear, and nothing outside will change...

There is no point in doing more of this work...

Likewise, no one thinks that what happens here will change anything.

Bai Yu certainly knows this best.

Yet he still came to the kitchen that provided protection and guidance to all chefs who attacked children.

The blood of the chefs here was splattered on the already dirty walls.

"It's meaningless... isn't it?"

"Never mind, it's pointless to think about this kind of thing."

The massacre was over within 10 minutes.

Finally, Bai Yu, who was standing here, just ignored the screams in front of him, then picked up the urban nightmare who had been cut into a human stick, and walked towards the huge meat grinder in front of the paint.

"Asshole...are you fucking sick?!"

The chef's only intact jaw kept shaking as he sang sweet words to Bai Yu.

But he didn't recognize the man in the white coat, and didn't even understand why someone would come to cause trouble.

"I'm the apprentice of Tiziano, one of the eight great chefs. Where the hell are you from? Thumb? Ring finger? Unaffiliated finisher?"

"Hey! Can we talk? You're a doctor, aren't you, judging by your white coat?"

"From now on, if you come to my restaurant to eat, I'll give you free meals! Wait! How about I introduce you to my master? Many nobles in the nest want to see my master but can't..."

Looking at the machine getting closer and closer, the chef finally understood how Bai Yu wanted to deal with him.

It's not because I covet his recipes, nor do I want the chance to be introduced to a chef by him...

"Etc., etc!!"

He shouted more and more wildly.

As the half-chopped body of the child was put down, his terrified face appeared in its place.

"Ahhhh!!!"

The rapidly spinning blade crushed his face.

More wails echoed throughout the kitchen...

Finally, he broke into pieces and turned into food in the basket.

Bai Yu dropped the headless corpse in his hand, glanced around the room which seemed to be empty, and finally threw the white tall hat that symbolized the status of the chef in Lane 23 into the gas stove.

This is how he has been living for the past two years.

This was the life he gradually got used to...

"it's over?"

On the road, Yesod rolled down the window and watched Bai Yu slowly take off his white coat.

"Okay, let's call it a day." Bai Yu put the things wrapped in black cloth into the trunk and sat in the passenger seat.

"No trace left."

"Do you need to go in and confirm again?"

"That's not necessary."

The return vehicle started slowly.

Yesod drove through alley after alley, perhaps too bored, so he asked softly.

"Are those the missing children in the trunk?"

"Well," Bai Yu said softly, "I think I should take it back. It might not be good to leave it there."

"You're becoming more and more concerned about these kids."

"I'm not the only one who cares about them."

“…”

Yesod glanced at him and said nothing.

He has always been the most rational one in their group.

But even he still tried to show some emotions towards these imaginary people like Mu.

This shouldn't be the case.

The Doomsday Bird is still outside, and this place is still Sister Hong’s fantasy.

This story will eventually come to an end.

"As long as the ending of the story is acceptable, there is actually no regret..."

"is it?"

Shiro heard Yesod mumbling to himself but didn't say anything else.

Silence continued in the car for a few seconds until Yesod finally asked.

"Bai Yu, you've been a little distracted since returning from the forest yesterday. What did you discover?"

"It's okay, maybe it's just an illusion."

"Illusions are also intelligence, say."

"The time difference in core suppression is getting smaller."

"..."

Yesod slowly stepped on the brakes.

"Aren't you kidding?"

"Well, didn't I go out with Luti for three days..."

Bai Yu recalled the outside world he saw in the forest.

The once eternal sky was disappearing, and the surrounding dark forest and distortion were becoming increasingly severe. In fact, in the past 20 days, Bai Yu had not only seen a blood-red blade inserted into the land.

He tried to look for it.

Because he recognized that it was the bloody butcher knife he gave to Sister Hong.

But he didn't find it. When he approached the blood mist, the mirage-like illusion had disappeared.

Standing in the center of that phantom, Bai Yu always had a new premonition inexplicably in his heart.

"This will be over soon, and she'll be back. Is that what you think?"

Yesod leaned against the car window, wondering what he was thinking about.

"Yes."

Bai Yu sighed.

"Didn't a T-rank Abnormality Pochi come in last month?"

"I don't think it's such a coincidence. After all, two years have passed. According to the original ratio, less than two hours should have passed outside. It would be difficult for these Abnormalities running around to break into this place..."

Yesod listened, but did not express his opinion.

He stepped on the accelerator again and drove the car through the winding road.

But suddenly, Bai Yu and he both found something wrong.

The noisy sounds from the street outside even penetrated the car window and reached their ears.

"Hey, what's that outside?"

"Heaven? The sky is falling?!"

"what's the situation?"

Bai Yu frowned. He didn't want something unexpected to happen whenever he thought about these things.

But when he got off the car, he was still speechless.

Both he and Yesod saw the spot the crowd was pointing to. There, a large silver-white shadow appeared in the azure sky.

Yes.

To them, the sky is about to fall.

They never know what is really outside their make-believe world.

But Bai Yu and the others did know what it was.

It was a massive alloy plate. For some unknown reason, it had fallen from the sky above the Central Headquarters' logistics area. Now, it was supported by countless steel bars and cables, preventing it from falling directly...

What happened in the Central Headquarters Area 1?

What kind of noise could tear a hole in such a large alloy layer?!

"Get in the car, let's go!"

Bai Yu gradually recovered from his shock and shouted to Yesod who was still observing.

"Where to?" Yesod quickly got into the driver's seat.

"Let's go back first. There are some things I still need to ask."

Bai Yu took a deep breath.

The car soon returned to the coffee shop...
