Chapter 560: Chapter 560: Open District 17 People_1

This was a battle concerning the future of salted fish, and in Song Lan’s mind, its significance far surpassed the ongoing war in the third Neutral Country.

He and Lu Xiang’s gaze constantly clashed, and just as the war was escalating to a white-hot stage, a light, airy voice drifted in.

"My, I’ve always heard that the folks from the United Government are liberal, but I never imagined they’d be liberal to this extent."

An unidentified third-party force had entered the fray.

It was a woman’s voice, which immediately put Lu Xiang on high alert. In the middle of the night, the sudden appearance of a strange woman in one’s house was by no means a good sign.

When they followed the voice, they found something amiss.

This uninvited guest had not come through the door but had opened the window from the outside on the fourteenth floor and lightly leaped into the living room. They also saw a pair of insect-like wings retracting at a visible speed behind the woman’s back.

Although Medea’s body had also undergone an insect-like transformation due to the injection of genetic drugs from Yungang Biotech, her wings could not be used for flying.

Song Lan had to stress that breaking into someone’s home in the middle of the night was a dangerous act, especially in a city like District Seventeen, known for its rustic simplicity.

Due to regional laws and historically high crime rates, the law allowed citizens to protect themselves to the fullest extent when encountering illegal intrusion in their homes. For unidentified intruders, they had the right to use lethal force without restriction.

If he weren’t a pacifist, this beautiful trespasser might well be spattered with blood at this moment.

The uninvited guest exuded a wild beauty all over, even her dress style did not resemble that of a city-dweller, with her simple, monotonous fabric like those girls who had wandered from the forest into modern society.

Once again, the girl exhibited her outgoing trait after sharply critiquing the terms Lu Xiang presented. She was then attracted to the lavish dinner on the table, unabashedly revealing her desire.

Out of politeness, she introduced herself, "My name is Yeying, Father Bruno said that I would be taken care of when I came here."

Ever since she saw the food on the table, her gaze was as if spellbound by an indescribable magic to those dishes. She felt it would be hard to look away until she had devoured all the delicious-looking food.

Compared to the limbs of humans or the chitinous shells of mutated creatures, these things matched more closely with people’s imagination of food.

She took the initiative to introduce herself.

If they were to follow the customs of the villages in the third Neutral Country, this couple in the apartment should have received her warmly.

Although she had modified Father Bruno’s words to a certain extent, Yeying believed that the empathetic leader of the Bug Swarm wouldn’t mind.

During their conversation, Lu Xiang also noticed unusual details about Yeying.

Her eyes were amber colored, and if he remembered correctly, they were glowing softly when she flipped into the living room from the window, resembling some nocturnal animal. She had teeth sharper than those of mutated creatures, and her tongue was as long as the one on Tesla Tech’s Medusa-like domestic robots. The most striking feature, however, were her slender and sharp nails, the insides of which were filled with dirt that Lu Xiang realized upon closer inspection was not soil but blood and pieces of flesh from some unknown creature.

Ever since Yeying appeared in the living room, a faint scent of blood permeated the apartment.

And she had just mentioned the name Father Bruno.

"You know Father Bruno?"

"Of course."

Yeying still gazed intently at the food on the table, yet replied very swiftly, "We met many times at the Church and carried out many commands issued by the Moon God together."

Whether it was an illusion or not, Lu Xiang always felt Yeying entered a hunting state. She seemed ready to pounce on their family’s dining table like a predator at any moment.

To prevent Yeying from destroying the furniture, Lu Xiang could only reluctantly invite this uninvited girl to join him for dinner.

As expected, Yeying ignored cutlery such as bowls, chopsticks, and spoons. She trusted her own slender nails and claws more, and Lu Xiang witnessed for the first time someone pouring food directly from the bowl and plate into their mouth.

Yeying’s mouth could stretch very wide, wide enough to swallow an entire plate.

Aside from looking strikingly human and speaking human languages, Lu Xiang really couldn’t find any other traces of humanity in Yeying. Her behavior resembled the mutant creatures wandering in the "outside world."

She didn’t have much patience either, declining Song Lan’s offer to steam another rice cooker full of rice. Instead, she directly grabbed the bag of rice, swallowing the uncooked grains whole.

"Truly befitting the treatment of a tribal leader."

After devouring an entire bag of raw rice, Yeying sighed contentedly, "No wonder Father Bruno betrayed the Church and defected to you all."

"Now that you’re full, it’s time you told us the purpose of your visit, right?"

Lu Xiang couldn’t let his guard down around Yeying, his intuition incessantly warning him that this beast-like girl was definitely a danger.

Far more dangerous than any criminal he had encountered to date.

However, in response to his question, Yeying revealed a bizarre expression. Instead of answering, she countered with a question, "Father Bruno said, you are the leader of this tribe."

Although she didn’t understand the affairs of large cities, from her title, Lu Xiang supposed to be on par with the Archbishop.

Lu Xiang nodded, not understanding why.

"In that case, you must have also heard the summons," Yeying stated matter-of-factly. "I am the messenger of this ritual. My visit is to invite you and your tribe to attend the End Ritual. This is the highest honor, only the chosen ones have the privilege to be at the center of this ritual."

Lu Xiang recalled the recent message from the dump.

Apart from Father Bruno’s strong recommendation that they explore the Third Neutral Country, the Devourer had also mentioned feeling the call of some unknown force.

"What exactly happened in the Third Neutral Country?"

"Civil war."

The eyes of Yeying, who had eaten to her fill, sparkled with frenzy, "The Church has already gone to war with the Barrosa Group. The seal on the ’Mine Pit’ has been broken, the monsters have escaped. But it’s unavoidable because among all the chosen ones, in the end, there can be only one winner."

"Since you have come here, you must also know that the United Government is already preparing to declare war on the Third Neutral Country, right?"

"Are you referring to those humans out there?"

Yeying cutely tilted her head, her eyes glowing with a cruel and bloodthirsty light, "They will all die there, surrounding the last winner as offerings to complete the ritual."
