AMRWFA -Chapter 429 Anomaly King Night

“You’re staying here to wait for me, or coming in with me? Personally, I suggest you stay here. It’s too dangerous inside…”

Before Ruan Yaoyao could finish, Hong Pengyi had already walked in.

Damn it!

This brat!

Ruan Yaoyao cursed under her breath and quickly followed him.

“Why are you running?”

“Why are you going so fast?”

“It’s dangerous in there!”

……

The moment they stepped onto the Anomaly King’s territory, all the anomalies hidden in the darkness seemed to be activated. The barren wilderness, previously empty, suddenly erupted with surging black miasma.

The surroundings darkened instantly.

Countless blood-red eyes appeared—some floating in the air, others crawling up from underground. Ruan Yaoyao felt her trypophobia acting up.

She pulled Hong Pengyi behind her, raised the identity badge of the Anomaly Suppression Bureau, and shouted, “Anomaly Suppression Bureau business! All anomalies disperse!”

At the mention of the Bureau, the surging anomalies hesitated and slowed down.

“What is the Anomaly Suppression Bureau doing here? This is the Anomaly King’s territory! Are you going back on your word?”

An anomaly drifted out. It looked like a mountain, with two enormous lantern-like eyes.

Ruan Yaoyao’s expression tightened. Something about this anomaly felt wrong.

Unlike the ones she had previously subdued—most of which were “possessed spirits” formed after human death—this one was clearly different. She couldn’t quite explain it, but she could feel its malice and irritability. It was unpleasant, like looking at something disgusting.

She instinctively wanted to retreat, but forced herself to stay steady. She circulated spiritual energy through her body to protect herself.

At the same time, she communicated with the little golden dragon in her dantian:

“Stop slacking. Help me out. Don’t let me get ambushed.”

The little golden dragon snapped back: “So much nonsense!”

Ruan Yaoyao was speechless. Was this really nonsense? She was just worried it would fail at a critical moment.

Then she said to the anomaly, “What do you mean going back on our word? I’m here to find someone. A few days ago, one of your anomalies took a human.”

The anomaly froze. “An anomaly took a human? Are you joking? You people brought us into this world yourselves, promised us territory, and said humans here were free for us to eat… And now you’re coming here for this reason? We didn’t touch anyone from your Anomaly Suppression Bureau.”

Ruan Yaoyao’s expression darkened.

So the anomalies in this world weren’t just created by those “Descenders”—they were also brought in from another world?

Thinking of Wenren Hanmo in the real world, it wouldn’t be surprising if they also created anomalies in this mirror world.

It really felt like there was nothing those Descenders wouldn’t do.

Ruan Yaoyao said, “You didn’t touch anyone from the Bureau, but you touched my people. You never should have, and you absolutely shouldn’t have touched mine.”

She pulled out the Soul-Pinning Gun.

“I’ll make this clear today. Either return my person, or I report this to the Bureau and tear this place apart.”

The anomalies immediately erupted in anger.

“I said humans can’t be trusted!”

“I told you! Humans are all liars!”

“What are we afraid of? This world is small—just take it over!”

“We have the Anomaly King! We’re not afraid!”

“Fight then!”

“Wait, don’t kill them all—we still need humans to eat…”

The noisy chaos escalated as if a fight was about to break out. Fortunately, the mountain-shaped anomaly remained calm and barked sharply, silencing them.

It told Ruan Yaoyao to wait while it went to summon the Anomaly King.

In truth, the Anomaly King had already received the report when Ruan Yaoyao and Hong Pengyi entered its territory.

It hadn’t taken it seriously at first. Humans often trespassed into its domain; normally, they were simply eaten.

But soon it learned those two humans were here looking for someone, threatening to report the Anomaly Suppression Bureau and cause trouble if the person wasn’t returned.

The Anomaly King frowned.

“Return someone?”

That person wasn’t even from the mirror world.

Besides, hadn’t they agreed before? As long as it didn’t touch people from the Anomaly Suppression Bureau, it could do as it pleased in capturing humans from outside.

And now they were going back on their word so quickly?

The Anomaly King was displeased and suspected this was deliberate trouble-making.

If that was the case, it also had a few accounts to settle with the Anomaly Suppression Bureau.

Soon after, the Anomaly King appeared before Ruan Yaoyao.

Seeing the identity badge in her hand, it said coldly, “Is your Anomaly Suppression Bureau going back on its word?”

“You are the Anomaly King?” Ruan Yaoyao looked at the figure shrouded in black mist, barely humanoid, and confirmed.

“I am.”

“Where is the person you took?” Ruan Yaoyao said. “I want to see a living person. If she’s alive, we can talk. If she’s dead, there’s nothing to discuss—we fight immediately.”

She wasn’t even sure yet whether the person taken by this Anomaly King was her daughter.

After entering this world, she could only faintly sense that the protective talisman she gave her daughter had been activated, meaning she likely wasn’t in immediate danger. But she couldn’t locate her.

So she had no choice but to investigate quietly.

She didn’t dare act openly at first, fearing attention from hostile forces.

But now it was different. Now she had the identity of the “Anomaly Suppression Bureau.” Who would think she was an outsider?

Even if things escalated, it would just be conflict between the Bureau and the anomalies—it had nothing to do with her.

The Anomaly King frowned. “What do you mean? You said before that as long as I didn’t touch people from the Bureau, I could do whatever I wanted with others. I infected people in this world for you, even turned some of them into anomalies. Isn’t that enough?”

“But I didn’t allow you to touch my people. I don’t care about others, but this one person is not allowed. I need to see her. I need to confirm she’s alive.”

“She’s not your person.” The Anomaly King was not foolish. “Someone I brought from outside cannot be from the Anomaly Suppression Bureau.”

Everyone knew where Bureau members came from.

To this world, they were all “invaders.” There was no real difference—one side was “anomalies,” the other “descenders.”

Ruan Yaoyao lifted her chin slightly. “How do you know she isn’t mine? Bring her out and ask her in front of me—you’ll know.”

The Anomaly King let out a cold laugh and told her to wait.

——

As for Xu Nannan, she had already become numb.

Wenren Hanmo was one thing—but what the hell was this “Night” Anomaly King?

Did she have some kind of monster-attractor constitution?

One monster wasn’t enough, now another anomaly appeared?!

Oh heavens!

Was the universe trying to kill her?!

She didn’t believe a single word of Anomaly King Night’s so-called confession.

Non-humans were inherently untrustworthy.

Didn’t Wenren Hanmo also say all the right things before?

He was even more convincing than Anomaly King Night, pretending to be human, courting her in a very “human” way, and even acting like the perfect son-in-law in front of her mother.

And reality?

He was an “invader.”

Even her mother had to carefully negotiate with him under pressure.

There was even state backing behind it all.

Under such circumstances, Xu Nannan—who was already terrified of tentacled monsters—could never consider him as a potential partner.

And now, another one appeared: Anomaly King Night.
