My Notoriety Spreads Throughout the World-Chapter 248 - 233: The Advent of the Siren (Double Feature)
Is that... her teeth? ๐๐ป๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐๐๐๐ธ๐ซ๐๐ก.๐ฌ๐ธ๐
Soon after, the second and third teeth plopped into the water. Her teeth fell out completely within seconds, and crimson threads and mucus filled her vision.
The boundless fear filled the girl's heart. She wanted to scream, but no sound came out. She wanted to see her reflection, but the mirror was fogged up with steam.
Panicking, she threw on some clothes and ran outside, convinced that something had changed in her body. She needed to reach the hospital quickly, even if the medical bills would drain her family's savings.
When she opened the apartment door, the girl froze. She saw figures in black uniforms methodically taking away her neighbors, knocking on doors from house to house. For those who didn't cooperate, they forcefully opened the doors and took out the residents.
One of the figures noticed herโit was a black-haired girl with a high ponytail, wearing a fitted white investigator's uniform, looking confident as she approached, showing her badge:
"Hello, are you Miss Ruth?"
"I am the Wing Investigator Bai Nian'an from the Cleaner Association. The current situation is difficult to explain. Could you please come with us for a while?"
The girl was terrified, seeing her deformed hands: "Am I turning into a monster? Am I now...
"It's alright, everything will be alright. We will take care of everything."
Bai Nian'an embraced the girl and was not repulsed by her abnormalities. Her calming words seemed to have a magical power, gradually soothing the girl's restless heart. She nodded lightly through her tears, with mucus dripping from her chin.
The girl, with her greenish skin and bulging eyes, was taken away by her companions. Bai Nian'an looked on with a complex expression, hearing a young man's voice over the communication device.
"The number of people affected by the Siren Miracle's power this time is probably no less than fifty thousand. We've contacted the association, and the upper management will have the Cyan Sage temporarily suppress the miracle power in them. Although it's unclear how long it can last and what the final outcome will be."
"But when the crisis comes, we can only do everything within our power."
"Thank you," Bai Nian'an said sincerely.
If it were not for the Dawn Society's early warning of the crisis and promptly locking down the address information of all users who watched the latest 'Paranormal Explorer' online episode, and acting accordingly, she couldn't imagine what disaster the Star of Art would face when the incident erupted.
Life Daylight, Dawn Office, and the Association took joint action at the first moment. An hour ago, they had already controlled the situation in the entire city. Thirty thousand people were quarantined in batches in the underground containment facility of the Star of Art, while tens of thousands more were taken to the containment rooms of the city's major offices. A smokeless battle raged in places invisible to the public.
As Everme mentioned, these watchers of dawn have done everything they could before the crisis arrived.
In the face of the disaster mythology, human power is insignificant. Every time they steal the fire from the heavens, they can only add a sliver of possibility to the continuation of civilization, using themselves as kindling to help people survive the long night.
This time, too many people were affected by the miracle. They only controlled those who watched that episode and were directly polluted by the Siren Miracle, but no one knows how widely fragmented information related to the Siren Miracle might spread privately.
Bai Nian'an shook her head and followed her companions into the distance.
There are countless things one wants to do, but only countless grains of sand for what one must do.
No one knows how the situation will change.
It's enough to do everything within one's power.
...
At six in the evening, on the second floor of the courtyard in Mermaid Town.
Hearing the violent door-pounding outside the room, the female model finally couldn't take it and broke down, yelling at the bloodshot-eyed man: "Those lunatics are about to break in! What exactly are you trying to do!"
Half an hour ago, she had already noticed the events happening in the courtyard. She saw with her own eyes that the Fishman servitors tore a man into pieces. Everyone outside had gone mad!
Purier seemed not to hear the chaos outside or the woman's shouts, muttering incessantly to himself in front of the easel, "I'm almost done with the painting, I'm almost done."
"I have seen it... hahaha, the most perfect work, I've seen it!"
"What exactly have you seen?" The female model rushes forward and pushes aside the frenzied man. Upon seeing the grotesque and twisted drawing on the easel, she almost screamed, covering her face, "This is not me at all, how could I possibly look this ugly!"
The woman on the easel had disturbingly green skin, her features twisted into a grotesque form, with innumerable lines forming geometric shapes. From the chaotic lines, one could faintly discern a mermaid's tail beneath the woman and countless distorted screaming faces on her chest; myriad limbs were spread across her unnaturally swollen neck.
"Of course, that's not you. She is the Siren King. How beautiful! I'm about to paint the Siren King. I've already heard her voice. I've seen her smiling at me. What a beautiful and moving miracle!" Purier shouted excitedly.
Only then did the female model notice Purier's abnormalities. His eyes, bulging and bloodshot from behind the sunglasses, and the overwhelming smell of fish threatened to make her faint. Dark green slime was seeping out from beneath his tightly wrapped trench coat, exactly like those frenzied Fishmen outside!
