Abyssal Distortion Files

This person doesn't just have a problem; they definitely have a problem.

"Do you believe in intuition?" Yang Miao said, his right hand already behind his back, busily typing on his phone.

As a police officer, besides intuition, he had another skill that no one could surpass: blind typing with the nine-key input method.

Even on phones without physical buttons, with a little practice, he could accurately locate each key.

While talking to Zhou Mo, Yang Miao had already sent a message to his mentor.

[Suspect target located, requesting support]

"Intuition?"

Zhou Mo smiled, "People do have this ability; most people call it the sixth sense, or a premonition. It exists outside the five senses, not relying on the physical senses."

"So, police officer, is it your intuition that's making you suspect me?"

With that, Zhou Mo snapped his fingers, and instantly, Yang Miao's soul surged, as if his brain had been struck and battered by a blunt weapon!

Boom!

This surge caused Yang Miao's consciousness to blur, and his eyelids began to droop!

"You…"

Yang Miao struggled to raise his right hand, and he heard Zhou Mo's voice in his ear, "You're very tired; get some rest."

As the words fell, Yang Miao's vision went black.

His consciousness completely faded, Zhou Mo reached out to catch him, and gently laid him down on the ground.

「Did you feel it?」

「His soul is quite good, and his mental strength is also very strong. It's no exaggeration to say that his soul potential is more outstanding than yours.」

Hearing Qi Youluo's words, Zhou Mo shook his head, "I haven't hindered you from taking another Covenantee, Sect Master."

「That's what you say.」

「But your soul doesn't think so. What, are you jealous of him?」

Zhou Mo shook his head, "People are a complex life form, and the human soul is even more so. Therefore, I can't say whether I'm jealous or something else."

「Speak plainly.」

"I am a little jealous, indeed."

"Because I know that I'm just an ordinary person, so ordinary that I can't be more ordinary. I've never hoped to surpass others in any way."

"So, no matter who becomes your Covenantee, what I can do, they can naturally do as well, or even do better."

「Silly child.」

「Everyone has their innate talents. If you judge a fish's talent by whether it can climb a tree, then the fish will think it's stupid for the rest of its life.」

「In this world, there are no two people who are exactly the same. Everyone is unique, and so are you.」

Zhou Mo smiled, "I feel much better hearing you say that."

「You little rascal, you weren't just waiting for me to comfort you, were you?」

"How could I be?"

「Your three souls are all blossoming.」

Zhou Mo smiled without saying a word. His Sect Master was a chatterbox, always seeming to have endless things to say to others.

But people who talk a lot often share a core trait: loneliness.

「However, although this police officer's soul potential is very outstanding, it's not suitable for him to be my Covenantee.」

「The path we walk is cold and dark.」

「Only someone like you, who is outwardly sunny and cheerful but inwardly dark, can continue on this path.」

Zhou Mo's smile faded, "What do you mean, someone inwardly dark like me? I'm only like that towards the three people who killed my brother."

「No, they are just the beginning.」

Just as Zhou Mo was about to retort, a young man walked out of the darkness and revealed the eye pattern on the palm of his left hand.

"I am Guixiu, Lord Zhou Mo. Please come with me; the Seer has invited you."

Zhou Mo looked at the man, then raised his left hand, "This eye pattern… when will you print one for me too?"

Guixiu smiled, "You will naturally have it after you go back and advance to the Five Elders."

Five Elders?

"Then what are we waiting for?"

Zhou Mo didn't hesitate and followed Guixiu into the black mist gate.

It wasn't until much later that several police cars arrived and found Yang Miao, who had fallen unconscious.

"Where is the suspect?"

Yang Miao opened his eyes, his eyes first filled with confusion, and then with excitement, "I was subjected to a soul attack!"

"…"

"Yang Sanshui, are you sleep-deprived?"

……

At the same time, on the other side of Jianghai City.

In the trash can downstairs from Chen Ye's house, a rat was rummaging through the garbage and accidentally dug out an eyeball.

The rat looked at the eyeball, and it seemed like something was reflected in its pupils.

"Squeak squeak…"

The rat picked up the eyeball as if it had found a treasure, jumped off the trash can, and then went into the sewer through the manhole cover.

However, all of this was seen by Chen Ye upstairs.

「Master, this shouldn't be a coincidence, right?」

Chen Ye looked interested, "Because I'm really curious, does eating eyeballs… actually help with eyesight?"

「I have a bad feeling.」

……

Inside the sewer.

A group of rats gathered around an eyeball, and for some reason, they all showed unusual excitement after seeing it.

Or rather… some kind of joy?

Gradually, the rats began to gesticulate wildly, as if they were completely immersed in it and forgot what they were supposed to do.

At the same time, they didn't notice that a man wearing glasses was squatting behind them, observing them.

"Douxiu, what are they doing?"

Douxiu, wearing glasses, shook his head, "I don't know either; I can't understand it at all."

"Wait…"

"Douxiu, do you think it's possible that these rats have mastered pleasure?"

"Rats have mastered pleasure?"

"Do you want to hear what you're saying?"

"Rats… are just creatures that dwell on the lowest level of desire."

"Can they feel pleasure?"

"It's meaningless to say this. Douxiu, just let them eat the eyeball."

Hearing this, Douxiu directly grabbed a rat and made the rat's eyes meet his own.

The rat then realized that there was a human next to it!

"Squeak!"

A purple light was released from Douxiu's eyes. He activated the power of his mystic eye, directly hypnotizing the rat.

"Go, eat that eyeball."

Hearing Douxiu's words, the rat immediately turned around and pounced on the eyeball, then began to swallow and chew it voraciously!

As the eyeball was swallowed by the rat, the group of rats that had been gesticulating wildly around the eyeball all stopped their movements, their eyes showing confused expressions.

And the rat that swallowed the eyeball, its body twitched madly during the process of swallowing the eyeball!

Puff puff puff!!

Several tentacles erupted from the rat's body and quickly surged towards the other rats, pulling them all into its body!

Flesh and blood squirmed, bones were reorganized!

These fused rats were rapidly changing shape and gradually forming some kind of unique mystery!

Douxiu suddenly laughed when he saw this scene, "These rats… have actually combined! Everyone, did you see that?"

"Man-made mystery?!"

"This is a bit interesting… maybe we can create a Photonic-class mystery with our own hands?!"

"Since we can create Photonic-class, then why can't we create Dim-class?"

"If we can reach Dim-class, then is Lightless-class far away?"

"Since we're already at Lightless-class, then why not go a step further and go directly to Deep Sea!"

"We all know that the main body has the ability to devour mysteries, so since rats can reach Deep Sea-class, then as long as we let the main body eat it, wouldn't we reach Deep Sea-class?"

"That's right!"

"Right your ass; were your brains eaten by rats?"

"If the boss really wanted to create a Deep Sea-class mystery, then Deep Sea-class existences… would have already been all over the Earth!"

"You're the one with a brain problem!"

"These rats are eating our flesh and blood to become a mystery, so naturally they are under our control!"

"Just imagine!"

"A Deep Sea-class mystery that obeys us and is controllable, what a huge treasure this is!"

"I think this is worth trying!"

"Boss, what do you say?"

Chen Ye smiled. If it really succeeded, then this would indeed be a huge treasure, "It's worth a try."

"Boss… what if it escapes our control after it advances?"

Before Chen Ye could answer, the other avatars had already responded.

"Isn't that simple?"

"We create, we contain, we lose control, we run away. As long as we slip away fast enough, the responsibility won't catch up with us!"
