The God of Demolition

Liu Hanzhi knew Bai Wanwan possessed an extraordinary ability to summon deities. However, she had never imagined the true extent of that power.

Among all the gods capable of immense destruction, Bai Wanwan had somehow chosen one whose legendary feats were well-documented.

The good news was that this deity could indeed dismantle anything. The even better news? Its past conquests included the Heavenly Palace itself.

Even the most formidable of eerie domains paled in comparison to the Heavenly Palace. After all, any being capable of dwelling within the celestial realm, even a mere canine, would be revered as a “True Lord.”

“Come on, what are you gaping at?” Bai Wanwan urged. “It’s someone else’s power, after all. It would be impolite to hold onto it for too long. Let’s use it up quickly and send it back.”

Bai Wanwan, with her slender frame, hoisted a steel pipe weighing over a hundred pounds as if it were nothing. The sight sent Liu Hanzhi’s heart racing.

‘She was inexplicably reminded that, in this state, Bai Wanwan could probably pick her up and ‘stir-fry’ her whole.’

‘No, that’s not right!’

‘What absurd thoughts are these?’

Bolstered by this newfound confidence, Liu Hanzhi felt her steps grow much more assured.

‘You meager eerie domain, just wait until my Wanwan thoroughly puts you in your place!’

As they stepped into the eerie domain, the ornate iron gate slammed shut behind them with a violent clang, just like a scene ripped from a horror film. The rusty metal shrieked, accompanied by a sinister cackle echoing down the corridor. It was as if a grand villain’s wicked scheme had finally come to fruition.

Ghostly nurses, their hair disheveled and wild, crawled out from their ambush points along both sides of the hallway. The entire scene was utterly terrifying.

However, the moment Bai Wanwan slammed the heavy steel pipe she carried onto the ground, a resounding metallic thud echoed through the corridor. The entire eerie domain fell silent in an instant.

The grotesque ghost nurses froze in their tracks, each one staring blankly at Bai Wanwan.

The sinister cackles, which had heralded a villain’s triumph, vanished without a trace.

In its place settled a profound silence, one as weighty and absolute as a midnight at Cambridge.

“Wanwan,” Liu Hanzhi whispered urgently, “it’s crucial to find the domain’s master first. These nurses are mere puppets. Even if you wipe them all out, it won’t affect this eerie domain in the slightest. Don’t waste your energy!”

As Liu Hanzhi spoke, Bai Wanwan simply nodded in silence, then flashed an ‘OK’ sign.

Liu Hanzhi believed Bai Wanwan had heeded her warning. Little did she know, Bai Wanwan’s ‘OK’ sign meant something entirely different: ‘I’ll tear this place down in three minutes!’

Soon after, a cacophony of clanging and banging erupted. The ancient hospital, which had stood for ages, now sounded as if a demolition crew had suddenly moved in.

Meanwhile, outside the eerie domain, Chu Annian remained oblivious to the chaos unfolding within. All she knew was that her personal phone and laptop were blaring urgent warnings. An extremely dangerous eerie domain had appeared nearby, and she was advised to evacuate immediately.

She didn’t need to ponder long to understand the nature of this eerie domain.

In the past, her protocol would have been clear: evacuate civilians, then swiftly retreat until the active domain naturally quieted down.

But things were different now. Bai Wanwan was missing.

Only moments ago, she had resolved to keep Bai Wanwan firmly within her sight, yet in the blink of an eye, she had vanished.

And, as if by cruel coincidence, it was precisely at this moment that the eerie domain began to surge with renewed activity.

Chu Annian’s gaze fixed on the data displayed on her computer. Complex lines intricately mapped the fluctuations of the surrounding eerie domain.

The red line, in particular, indicating the danger level, was escalating at a visibly alarming rate.

While the Special Events Investigation Bureau lacked the means to directly observe the interior of an eerie domain, its heightened activity invariably exerted an influence on the surrounding environment.

By leveraging signals undetectable to standard electronic devices, they could still analyze and monitor various aspects of the domain’s condition.

This specialized capability was precisely why the computers and phones issued by the Special Events Investigation Bureau were all designed to be so rugged and bulky.

‘It’s over, it’s all over,’ she thought, dread pooling in her stomach. ‘If Bai Wanwan has entered this eerie domain, her chances of survival are slim to none.’

‘And to think, we had just managed to recruit such a promising talent for the Special Events Investigation Bureau…’

Just then, Chu Annian’s phone rang.

She answered the call, and before she could utter a word, her superior’s urgent voice blared from the other end.

– “Annian, are you alright?” – the leader’s voice crackled. – “Things aren’t looking good in Baishi City. The data from the Lip-Stitching Hospital’s eerie domain is fluctuating wildly. You need to get out of there immediately.”

– “Oh, and make sure you protect that new recruit you brought in today. The higher-ups are very interested in her abilities.”

– “Hello? Annian? Are you still there?”
