Be careful of the violence in the content.
The boss charged towards Shen Jie with great momentum.
The young girl in the crowd had already covered her eyes, unable to bear witnessing the handsome guy being hit and blood splattering everywhere.
Chen Shushu was sweating profusely, veins popping out on his neck. As a self-proclaimed otaku and lover of beautiful people, he couldn’t bear to see harm come to them. He shouted loudly:
“No!!! You pig head!!! Come at me!!!”
But he shouted a bit too late, only able to watch as the distance between boss and Shen Jie closed in, three meters, two meters, one meter—
Chen Shushu suddenly widened his eyes.
The scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere that he had imagined did not happen.
Just as the boss was about to reach him, Shen Jie inserted one hand into his pocket, while the other hand gripped the handle of the pink umbrella, swiftly swinging it towards the vital points of the boss’s body, like a bolt of lightning.
At the same time, using the umbrella tip as a fulcrum, Shen Jie propelled himself upward with force, leaping directly over the boss.
Like a graceful white bird, he soared through the air, elegant and beautiful.
In that momentary trance, Chen Shushu felt Shen Jie glance at him in mid-air.
Those slender, jet-black eyes pierced through the calm and ordinary facade, revealing a chilling sharpness that penetrated the soul.
Chen Shushu’s heart skipped a beat in that instant.
Shen Jie landed on the ground, his flowing white coat settling back into place.
One hand remained in his pocket, while the other hand, slightly outstretched, gripped the pink umbrella.
The tip of the umbrella was dripping blood.
The boss and he exchanged positions, with the boss crashing into the transparent air wall, emitting a miserable pig scream. The eerie hands flailing on its chubby body also drooped down limply, temporarily losing their mobility.
The system’s voice didn’t sound again until two seconds later.
[I was so scared just now…]
[Host, you never told me before… you actually know martial arts! That move where you leaped with force just now was so cool!!!]
The system could perceive Shen Jie’s perspective, so it could see more clearly than the people on the other side.
In that split second just now, Shen Jie’s umbrella precisely aimed for the boss’s eyes.

All of this occurred in less than a second.
If the system hadn’t been sure that Shen Jie didn’t emit any abnormal energy fluctuations, it would have had a hard time believing that an ordinary person could react in such a way to danger.
Calm, rational, precise in calculation, strong in execution, and skilled in martial arts —his host was anything but simple.
The system suddenly understood why Shen Jie was chosen to be bound with it.
Remembering its unfinished task, it now felt a bit more confident.
Shen Jie didn’t respond but instead tilted his head to dodge a sudden “hidden weapon” flying from behind.
[What’s this?] the system wondered.
Shen Jie looked down at the “hidden weapon” on the ground.
—It was a huge “no” character made of an unknown material.
The edges of the “no” character were sharp, even smashing a big hole in the ground as it stood erect.
System: […]
The system remained eerily silent for a moment before saying, [I see, it’s Chen Shushu’s power awakening.]
System: [His power comes from the ‘Soul’ category, specifically Rank Seven, and it’s called ‘Bullets’. It can condense loudly spoken characters into weapons of attack. However, in the book, Chen Shushu prefers to call it “Verbal Attack.”]
[System Voice: As a highly unique Rank Seven within the “Soul” category, there are currently only two people in the world with this ability. Of course, now, including Chen Shushu, there are three.]
Shen Jie: “Hmm, quite special.”
[Host, don’t you want to ask why his ability suddenly awakened?]
Shen Jie shrugged, “Why?”
[In the original storyline, Chen Shushu awakened his ability in the second month of the three-year major infection. But in fact, before his ability awakened, he encountered the mist more than a dozen times in a row, every time he went out, he would inevitably encounter it, almost losing half of his life. But even so, his ability remained dormant.]
[It wasn’t until that day when he and the school’s beauty stepped onto the same outer-city bus…]
[In the original plot, Chen Shushu awakened his abilities in the second month of the Three-Year Great Infection. But in fact, he had encountered mist several times before awakening his abilities. Whenever he went out, he would inevitably encounter it, almost losing half his life. But even so, his abilities remained latent.
Until that day, he and the school’s beauty stepped onto the same suburban bus…]
The system’s tone was somewhat difficult: [On the bus, the school’s beauty was kidnapped by aliens. In desperation, Chen Shushu suddenly had an epiphany and shouted, “Don’t!” Then a huge “demand” smashed through the alien’s skull, and into the school beauty’s heart.]
Shen Jie raised an eyebrow slightly: “Why wasn’t it the character ‘不’ (no)?”
The system complained: […The key point is the school beauty! The school beauty! This kid now sees you as the school beauty!!!]
Shen Jie casually remarked: “Well, he seems to have good taste then.”
System: […]
Well, as long as you’re happy, host.
Shen Jie shook off the blood on the umbrella tip and looked to the side.
The boss pig, knocked unconscious against the wall, was still convulsing.
The people hiding on the other side cautiously approached.
The glasses man exclaimed, “Boss!”
The young girl admired, “Wow, handsome guy, you’re amazing!”
The woman gave him a thumbs-up, “Young man, well done!”
The freckled young man looked at him with bright eyes and asked excitedly, “So, does this mean the boss has been taken care of by the big brother?”
Shen Jie replied, “…not yet.”
He wasn’t accustomed to being stared at with so many grateful eyes, his expression appearing even colder than usual.
“If the boss is like this, why hasn’t it been completely dealt with?” The freckled young man seemed puzzled.
The glasses man pushed his glasses up and explained for Shen Jie, “Alien life forms are very resilient. To completely eliminate them, you have to destroy both the alien’s brain and heart simultaneously. We just tried its outer shell, which is extremely tough, not even allowing a needle to pierce through. Now we can only try if we can start from vulnerable areas like the eyes and esophagus.”
“No need for that trouble,” Shen Jie said, looking at Chen Shushu. “You shout again, but this time, make sure you aim at the boss.”
“Ah?” Chen Shushu seemed unaware that he had just unleashed his ability.
The glasses man beside him had actually noticed the sudden appearance of the “no” character that popped out of the air just now. He initially thought it might have triggered some hidden rule on the subway, but upon hearing Shen Jie’s words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly took out his phone to fiddle with it.
After a moment, two short, snail-like antennae slowly extended from the front of the man’s phone, and the screen turned black, displaying a round electronic shell with a red Rank Nine marked on it in the center.
Then, the man with glasses poked the thing onto Chen Shushu’s arm—
The characters on the shell began to flicker and change. Starting from Rank Nine, it quickly jumped to Rank Eight, and after a dozen seconds or so, Rank Eight blinked into Rank Seven, then stopped moving altogether.
“The ability of Rank Seven!” The man with glasses exclaimed with joy.
Chen Shushu scratched his head, looking completely puzzled, “Ability? What ability?”
The glasses man grabbed Chen Shushu’s hand, very excitedly, “Congratulations! You’ve awakened the ability of Rank Seven!”
His tone was reminiscent of the hospital’s “Congratulations! You’ve given birth to a chubby baby boy!”
Chen Shushu was momentarily stunned, then quickly caught on.
“I’ve awakened an ability?”
“Yes. From what I’ve observed, the ability to create things out of thin air should belong to the ‘Rule’ category of evolution abilities. But you haven’t undergone a full-body examination yet, so we can’t be sure for now,” the glasses man said. “Let’s not worry about that for now. The priority is to completely resolve the boss.”
At this point, the man with glasses couldn’t help but show a happy expression on his face.
“As long as we solve the host of the mist, we can leave the mist and go home for dinner!”

When Zong Lin stepped off the plane, the orange-red sunset was almost setting, leaving a few streaks of twilight floating in the sky, casting a soft halo over the vast city before him.
Thinking about having dinner with his beloved tonight, he was feeling content at the moment. The late autumn breeze blew gently on him, feeling tender and warm.
…But Shen Jie still hadn’t replied to his messages.
Chen Jiahua, the bald team member next to him, smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Captain. Your partner must be busy in the kitchen after finishing buying groceries, waiting for you to come back for a meal together. Let’s speed up the process and finish the inspection so we can go home right away.”
The soldiers at the City Defense Bureau were conducting parasitic experiments on the members of the Ability Cleaning Team. Because many people participated in this operation to clear the “spider’s nest,” the queue for inspections stretched for hundreds of meters.
However, members of the “Dawn” Cleaning Team enjoyed special VIP treatment and were quickly brought to the front of the line by the soldiers.
Zong Lin glanced around and suddenly asked, “Where’s Gu Nian’an?”
The soldiers from the City Defense Bureau who were preparing for inspection were momentarily stunned before replying, “There was a minor natural disaster in the city, and Captain Gu rushed over to provide support.”
“A natural disaster in the city?” Chen Jiahua leaned in, tapped his phone a few times, and said, “The observation center didn’t issue any disaster warnings. Besides, for a minor natural disaster, does Captain Gu really need to go personally? With his ability, ‘Blade of Judgment,’ there’s no need for such a long queue here.”
The soldier from the City Defense Bureau, who was familiar with him, scratched his head at the comment. “It seems to be an incident near the inner and outer city subway. Gu’s team was sent over, probably because the observation center was worried about disrupting traffic and wanted to resolve it quickly. But it’s strange… why hasn’t he returned after so long?”
Zong Lin’s hand clenched tightly around his phone’s black screen.
“The inner and outer city subway?” he said in a deep voice. “When did this happen?”
The soldier from the City Defense Bureau answered with a silly expression, “An hour and a half ago.”
