On the dark beach, waves crashed incessantly onto the sand, washing a half-eaten, bloodied shark ashore.
The shark's wound was extremely strange; it's unclear what creature had caused it.
The waves continued to wash over the beach, eroding away a large portion of a footprint that led straight to the city.
The footprints led to a bustling city.
Countless skyscrapers stand here, illuminating the night sky like lighthouses.
However, the style of this city is very different from that of the Great Xia city; it feels like there are very few people at night and it's not very lively.
On a city street, a stout, fair-skinned, thick-browed, and large-eyed foreigner was happily munching on a donut.
He was also carrying a large pile of various fast food items.
"Woof~"
Suddenly, a cute-looking pug with a necklace and bracelet around its neck ran up to his feet.
The pug wagged its tail and stuck out its tongue, its round eyes fixed on the large pile of food in his arms.
The chubby boy immediately understood what the lapdog was thinking.
Holding the donut in his mouth, he pulled a fried chicken leg from the food in his arms and tossed it to it.
"Woof!"
The pug barked happily at him, grabbed the fried chicken leg, and ran into the alley.
The chubby boy was a little disappointed when the pug just left like that. He had thought he had found a pet that could accompany him for life.
After taking two bites of the donut, my bad mood vanished instantly, and I continued my cheerful walk home.
The pug, carrying a fried chicken leg, stopped at the end of a small alley and sat down.
The fried chicken leg was thrown into a large box full of food.
This is something the pug barely managed to earn after working hard for a whole day and night, sacrificing its adorable appearance.
'This should be enough to replenish my energy.'
The pug licked its lips, sat up, ran into the box, and began to feast.
While eating, the pug's size continued to increase at a visible rate.
After finally devouring all the food in the box, leaving not even bones, the pug had grown to the size of a wolf.
Its body began to slowly wriggle, and the pug gradually transformed.
Her body hair gradually decreased, and her gas cylinder-like figure slowly began to become more shapely.
Its tail slowly tucked in as well.
In the end, she transformed into a beautiful girl with white hair and red eyes.
This is Hera, who drifted for who knows how many days and swam all the way to America.
Hera, now back in human form, slowly sat up and picked up the necklace and bracelet from the ground.
The bracelet was given to her by Xinglan; it was a gemstone that could conceal her aura and resist certain mental harm.
The necklace was a gift from the entire special investigation team to him.
Looking at the members of the testing and investigation team inside the necklace, Hera suddenly felt a surge of sadness.
She touched her head, her expression becoming extremely confused.
'Do I even have feelings...?'
I clearly went to help humanity, so why do some of them want to kill me?
'But Xinglan and the others clearly believe in me, why don't others do the same?'
'Why, why?'
Because her human brain had been restored, these questions began to constantly bombard Hera's mind, and countless emotions began to surge into her body once again.
Hera clutched her head, knelt down in pain, and the necklace in her hand fell to the ground.
“You are simply a… emotionless alien.”
Suddenly, Ye Yiqing's words abruptly entered his mind, and then began to loop uncontrollably in his mind.
Have you ever felt ashamed for the million people who died?
Have you ever truly cared about your companions?
"Nothing. You only care about yourself! You only care about whether you can live, you only care about whether you can have food!"
Hera clutched her head, her expression turning ferocious; she didn't want Ye Yiqing to continue.
But her brain seemed to be outside her own, still trying to recall.
"All of this is nothing but your clumsy disguise of human emotions..."
Hera's body trembled violently, and she froze on the spot.
Disguise? Imitation
Oh, it seems so...
It seems I have indeed been imitating all along.
Hera's expression gradually calmed down and became expressionless.
She slowly stood up, dusted herself off, and then looked at her disheveled appearance.
He was hunted down by members of the Light God Society, captured by humans, and was to be executed.
I felt like a rat in the street, hated by everyone, and I only survived with the help of others.
And in order to survive, he turned into this state.
Disguised as a human, it appears harmless and even learns human emotions to deceive itself.
In the end, they will kill me.
This was not what Hera wanted.
Hera didn't want this!
If you kill everything that threatens your life, you can live indefinitely.
Forever!
That's right, that's exactly it. In the end, it's because my own strength is too weak.
As long as you are strong enough, you can do whatever you want and live as long as you want.
They can decide who doesn't die and who dies at will!
Yes, that's it... Being a powerful mutant is enough...
"How are you?"
Just then, a rather robust-looking man at the alley entrance shouted towards Hera in fluent English.
Upon hearing this, Hera calmly turned around and met the man's gaze from a distance of more than ten meters.
English is not as difficult to learn as Chinese. Hera had already learned it during her day of begging, so she naturally understood what the man was saying.
The alley was very dark, making it difficult to see what was inside, but because Hera was so pale, the man could still tell at a glance that Hera was not wearing any clothes.
"Hey! Hey!" Startled, he hurriedly put his hand in front of him, closed his eyes, and quickly took off his coat, throwing it at Hera.
"Miss, please put your clothes on first. Also, are you in some kind of trouble?"
Hera looked down at the coat he threw at her, ignoring the man's words, and picked it up and put it on.
The man saw Hera put on her clothes and cautiously approach, but he still didn't dare to look at her.
"Hello, my name is Jamie. Miss, have you been murdered? Would you like me to call 911 for you?"
Although the man approached Hera, he maintained a certain distance from her and inquired about her with concern.
Hera stared at the man with her large, peach-colored eyes, then slowly lifted her leg and walked towards him.
"Oh! Oh! Miss, Miss, I already have a wife and children, please don't do this, haha..."
The man smiled awkwardly and took a step back, but the unique fragrance that wafted towards him made his heart pound.
