That night, Li Suifeng’s friend had a very strange dream.

He dreamt he had turned into a fish, one among billions, all guarding a great being.

Its form was indescribable, like an ocean of mud with countless bubbles bursting and shattering. Faces of people emerged from the mud, wailing and screeching.

This dream should have been terrifying, but his friend felt completely different at the time.

He felt as though he was serving this great being, rejoicing and dancing with it, without any discomfort.

Upon waking, his friend was astonished by the dream, but didn’t think too much of it.

At first, his body seemed normal.

But on the third day after finding the strange stone fragment, he noticed an increased need for water.

He liked drinking water excessively, but his bathroom habits remained unchanged.

He thought it was due to the hot weather and didn’t pay much attention.

Until he spent two hours soaking in the bathtub, preferring it over his bed.

He felt something was off when he wanted to eat and sleep in the bathtub all the time.

Although his lifestyle gradually changed, his body became stronger.

His eyesight was sharper, his hearing more acute, his movements agile, and his strength had increased significantly.

Even his gaming teammates were surprised by his reaction speed and hand agility.

So, Li Suifeng’s friend thought his body was fine.

He visited a psychologist.

As expected, the psychologist couldn’t find anything wrong.

The doctor simply advised him to relax and not overthink due to recent life pressures.

Another week passed.

One morning, his friend found something unusual.

On his bed, he discovered a piece of dead skin the size of a coin.

It had fallen off his arm, specifically from the elbow, where the skin had become very hard.

He took a photo of his elbow with his phone and saw that it appeared to have grown a scale.

Thinking it was some skin disease, he went to the hospital.

The doctor prescribed some medicine and decided to try conservative treatment.

But his condition didn’t improve.

Every day, dead skin would fall off his body, and at the “wound, ” new skin was surrounded by a pale yellow fluid seeping out.

The body fluid stained the bedsheets, sticky and viscous.

Every morning, there would be a human-shaped mark on the sheets.

It was a disgusting feeling.

His friend became fragile and sensitive, avoiding communication with others.

He wore thick long-sleeved clothes, hiding his skin from others as much as possible.

The medication didn’t work, and he thought he had contracted some terminal skin disease.

He even went to temples to pray, seeking spiritual comfort.

But no miracle occurred.

Until tonight, when he had that dream again and saw that terrible being.

It transmitted a will to him, instructing him to enter the sea to find it.

Knowing his situation was dire, he sought out his most trusted friend without hesitation.

That night, his friend was very agitated.

Li Suifeng watched as his friend’s body gradually swelled in front of him, his spine bulging and fish fins piercing through his clothes. Every breath carried a fishy scent of seawater.

Before his eyes, his friend transformed into a monster.

Li Suifeng listened quietly until a group of officers in the uniform of the Inspectorate burst in.

They held firearms, looking tensely at the two inside the room.

His friend let out a strange cry, flipped the table, broke through the window, and jumped down.

Li Suifeng’s apartment was on the twelfth floor.

His friend’s body crushed a car upon landing, then got up as if nothing had happened, moving at an incredible speed.

The officers from the Inspectorate, who were on stakeout around the apartment, opened fire at the creature.

But bullets were useless against it.

A laver of light blue energy. like a thin film. appeared on its surface. deflecting the bullets.

With the officers calming him down, a shaken Li Suifeng learned the truth.

His friend wasn’t the first to transform into a monster.

In Ancheng, the number of residents who had turned into these “merfolk”-like creatures had already exceeded twenty.

Their common trait was that they had all picked up those strange stones at the beach.

“Weren’t those just ordinary meteorites?” Li Suifeng had asked at the time.

“No, this is the beginning of a disaster,” the officer from the Inspectorate replied gravely.

Those “infected” by the stones became extremely fond of water, excessively excited and agitated, and showed tendencies for destruction and aggression.

Recalling how his friend crushed a walnut ornament during their conversation, Li Sui Feng affirmed this reality.

The officer informed Li Suifeng that the real terror wasn’t the people who turned into monsters, but the giant creature from their dreams.

Experts from the museum had analyzed alarming information from those “meteorite” fragments.

Since that year, Dayan had established the “Tian Shu Administration” to deal with various abnormal events.

It was also the year that individuals with extraordinary powers began appearing within Dayan, forming the Superhuman Squad.

Starting from the strange stones, various eerie phenomena began emerging in

Dayan.

Among the superhumans, this era was known as the “Blue Stone Era.” Li Suifeng was one of the few non-superhumans who knew the truth. Because of his childhood friend, as one of the firsthand witnesses, he had always been aware of the truth.

Later, he became the Chief Inspector of Ancheng, gaining higher authority and knowledge, and often collaborated with the Superhuman Squad.

“Chief, the operatives from Special Operations have arrived,” Officer Zhang said.

Li Suifeng snapped out of his memories and looked towards the distance.

There, dozens of figures appeared.

They wore special combat suits with glowing backs, shining like stars.

These were extraordinary items developed by the Dayan Science Academy, allowing operatives to resist negative forces in the darkness.

The rain intensified.

The sea was shrouded in grey mist.

Suddenly, the water churned, and large and small splashes appeared.

From these splashes, a creature over two meters long, covered in scales, with short front limbs and long hind limbs, emerged from the water.

It retained some human characteristics.

Li Suifeng’s breath caught.

Compared to the creature he had seen years ago, the sea monsters had changed drastically.

The monster howled at the sky, emitting a unique sound wave.

Then came the second, the third…

Large and small creatures leaped onto the beach, heading towards the city.

Blocking these monsters was a human wall formed by the Special Operations department members.

With a “clang,” one of the operatives drew a combat knife from their waist.

The blade was a faint blue, made of a special alloy.

Others in the same row did the same, all equipped with similar knives, their movements uniform and well-trained.

Behind them, some members raised their guns.

The firearms of the Special Operations department were also special, using a newly developed explosive crystal instead of gunpowder.

Ordinary bullets couldn’t penetrate the energy layer on the monsters.

But bullets made of the special alloy could absorb the energy released by the explosive crystals, pushing them forward.

The explosive crystal was newly developed, scarce in quantity, and not widely distributed among the national Special Operations departments.

Therefore, the main force inflicting damage on the monsters was still these operatives wielding combat knives.

“Pfft…

An operative swiftly beheaded a monster with one strike.

But in the next moment, he was tackled by another monster. The monster opened its gaping mouth, ready to bite.

“Bang!”

A loud shot rang out as the snipers stationed at the back fired, breaking the monster’s neck.

The operative took the opportunity to escape and then rejoined the battle.

This was just a small beach in Ancheng.

In other coastal areas of Ancheng and in four other coastal cities of Fengzhou, similar scenes unfolded..
