Chapter 261
The “Silkworm” was Shen Ge’s greatest hidden trump card. He had originally planned to save it for emergencies — at the very least, to use it to save his life when facing a seventh or eighth-order anomaly.
But now, he had been trapped in this dream world for several days. Time in the dream world flowed according to its own whims, completely different from the passage of time in reality. These few days might be just a few hours in the real world — or they could be over ten days, maybe even months!
At present, his investigation into the Monster Association had just begun to show some clues. The situation on the Sakura side, with people infiltrating Dàjīng to deal with domestic anomalous disasters, along with the Twelve Branches causing chaos in the shadows and the monster organization that had infiltrated the upper echelons of power… From every angle, it looked like this Asian Anomaly Research Conference was heading for a major catastrophe.
Shen Ge had never considered himself so righteous that he needed to protect world peace, but the monster organization had always been a thorn in his side. If he didn’t completely uproot and destroy them, those bastards would keep coveting his abilities and might even threaten those close to him someday. So he had to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots!
The “Silkworm” only lasted for ten minutes. Shen Ge figured that if he could find that “room” and collapse this dream world in the shortest time possible, he might still have a chance to snatch a few more fragments while the drug’s effects lasted.
With that thought, Shen Ge immediately pulled the thumb-sized, plump “Silkworm” from his blood-skin pouch. Watching it wriggle on his fingertip, he didn’t need to chant “Hakuna Matata” this time and just swallowed it directly.
In the next second, the anomalous energy that the system had nearly drained for his power amplification was instantly restored to full. And in his status brackets, a special condition appeared: “Invigorated Spirit.”
“Heh!”
“Your boy’s got cheat codes now!”
