Chapter 257 After the ONS, the Little Transparent Became Popular (29)

Zhu Lian took the photos with a look of confusion, wondering what kind of monsters they had discovered. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw what was on the pictures.

The first picture showed a truly disgusting creature. Its original form was likely a dog, but it was a dog with a half-head, and that half-head was composed of three smaller halves. The body attached to it was also bizarrely shaped. Overall, the creature's body looked like it had gone through a copying machine, printed halfway, then rotated and printed twice more, resulting in this uniquely strange monster.

She frowned and turned to the second picture.

The monster in this image was still ugly and weird.

The second photo was of a "rabbit." It didn't have multiple heads, but multiple bodies attached to one large head. Judging by the surrounding objects, this rabbit was not small; it was about the size of a normal domestic dog.

The third.

A horse with six legs.

The fourth, a cat with a circle of heads.

The subsequent photos were all of similarly bizarre animals. Their peculiarity lay in a certain part of their body appearing to have been copied multiple times. Sudancity.net

Zhu Lian slowly began to accept their strange appearances, but when she saw the last picture, she almost threw up.

Because the last photo was of an alien human.

"It" had a head of dry, messy yellow hair, and "its" eyes were clearly animalistic vertical pupils. From "its" shoulders to "its" hips, there were over a dozen hands densely arranged, varying in size and thickness. These "hands" were tied together with ropes. "It" lay on the ground, thrashing incessantly, not resembling a human at all but rather a centipede that couldn't flip over.

This scene would likely cause physiological discomfort to anyone who saw it.

Qin Yuerong had been at the company for a relatively short time and was more involved in management. She didn't know much about this mysterious research and development department or what exactly they studied.

At that moment, her gaze swept over two of the photos, and her face turned pale. Upon seeing the last one, she couldn't help but gag.

The expressions of the others were also grim.

Qin Yuerong felt embarrassed and quickly left.

"Where did you find these?"

"In a small town in C City. A few days ago, that place suddenly detected severe negative energy fluctuations. Professor Sheng went with the military, and they found these monsters in a dried-up well. Some escaped, these are the ones that were caught."

"They escaped?"

The researcher's face was extremely grim. "They said one of them was a tiger with over a dozen heads, its body 2/3 larger than a normal tiger. Ordinary weapons were useless against it, and targeted weapons only scratched its fur. It got away."

Zhu Lian frowned, remaining silent for a long time.

These were no longer simple mutated monsters.

[Host, my world also has these kinds of things.]

"We'll talk about it when I get back."

She looked at the researchers. "Were these brought back?"

"Still on their way."

"Notify me when they arrive. I'll take a look. Speed up the manufacturing of the protective shields, and you can hire more people and expand production."

Director Zhou didn't speak. He thought to himself, this isn't like making glass covers; anyone can do it?

"If these things break out on a large scale, the real disaster will just be beginning. There's no need to hide it anymore."

Director Zhou lowered his head. "Yes."

After giving a few more instructions, Zhu Lian went home.

On the way, she spoke to the system about the matter.

Although she knew that the world the system belonged to had also been affected by karma, she had never been clear about the specifics of that impact.

[Actually, those monsters are the most common kind in my world. What you saw today is considered mild. In my world, there have been aliens with hundreds of heads, covered entirely in heads, constantly screaming. Can you imagine? Ever since I gained human consciousness, the mere thought of them makes me want to vomit.]

"Do you know the cause of these monsters' mutations? Are they also transformed from humans?"

[No.] The system replied: [In the past, humans conducted research on human body mutation, and we also conducted related experiments later. We never discovered such phenomena. However, at intervals, these mutations appear in certain places. A part of their bodies seems to have been copied. That alien with hundreds of heads, its heads, apart from varying in size, had completely identical internal structures.]

Zhu Lian had some guesses, but they felt too bizarre.

The Three Thousand Worlds, there is nothing one cannot find, but could such a world truly exist?

Yet, a day in heaven is a year on Earth, a hundred years for mortals, and a hundred lifetimes for gods. They are inherently different.

Could there be a place where time and space are completely disoriented?

Zhu Zhongyan came out of the room holding the baby. Seeing Zhu Lian's still solemn expression, he asked worriedly, "Did something happen at the company? You've seemed unhappy since you got back."

Zhu Lian shook her head, took the little one, and for half a month, her skin had become fair and beautiful. Soft and carrying a milky scent, a single inhale was incredibly satisfying.

Zhu Lian hugged her and inhaled deeply, then touched her forehead. The baby immediately giggled, her eyes like crystal grapes, very beautiful.

She grabbed Zhu Lian's collar and struggled to make sounds: "Yi... ya!"

Zhu Lian lifted her high twice, then gestured for Zhu Zhongyan to sit down. "Was she bothering you?"

Zhu Zhongyan smiled gently. "The baby is very good."

"That's good."

A fragrant, soft, and well-behaved little one. Raising one doesn't seem like a loss.

She played with the child, and Zhu Zhongyan was quiet for a moment.

"What is it?"

"Brother Liu called me today and asked when I'll resume work."

Although Zhu Lian wasn't short on money, he still wanted to earn some.

Zhu Lian thought about the aliens and said, "Don't go for now. I might have to go out for something in the next couple of days. We'll talk about it when I get back."

It wasn't that she couldn't find anyone to look after the baby, but she was worried about Rong Jin causing trouble in her absence.

Speaking of which, Rong Jin was still here, but he had been quiet for a long time and hadn't approached her.

Was he plotting something?

She didn't want to take risks or have Zhong Yan hurt again.

Zhu Zhongyan seemed a little hesitant, but finally agreed.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to get back."

"Mm."

Zhu Lian lifted the baby again. She clearly loved this activity, giggling like Ling'er when lifted high, her laughter infectious.

Even Zhu Zhongyan became more cheerful.

If she didn't go, she didn't go. It was good to be able to spend time with the child.

The two of them played with the child together. The family of three occasionally burst into laughter, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere that even the nanny couldn't help but watch with a smile for a long time.

It's so good!

It's nothing like what they say online.
