In Beiling City, Nanwan Harbor.
As night fell, a drizzle began to descend from the sky.
A fishing boat passed by, and the fishermen aboard shook their heads as they gazed at the harbor.
"I don't know which big boss did it, but they've leased the entire Nanwan area. Now, we don't even know where to offload our catch."
"Ah, stop your complaining. Didn't they pay you?"
"Money is only temporary..."
"Just live with it for now."
"Hey, what's that?"
"Looks like a person?"
One of the fishermen picked up a pair of binoculars, only to see a dark green figure floating in the distance on the sea.
"Looks like... not a person?"
"Wait, it seems like it's coming this way?"
"What...!"
"What's happening?"
"It's so fast... what is that thing!"
Another fisherman snatched the binoculars, peering out to see a wave rapidly approaching them!
"Holy... is that a fish?"
"A fish?"
"That speed, it's more like a speedboat!"
"It's here!"
Splash!!
A wave sprayed up, and a dark green figure shot out from under the sea, directly jumping onto the deck!
"That is..."
"My God, a merman?!"
The merman twisted his neck, then walked towards the people, who all stepped back, some even wielding fish spears!
Seeing this, the merman flashed his claws, easily slicing the fish spear in half!
Bang!
One person was so frightened that he plopped down on the deck, "Just like that..."
The merman looked at the man, then approached and slapped both sides of his temples with his hands before headbutting him!
"Awu waxyakamogdos."
The merman chanted a strange phrase, then pushed the man aside.
The man was initially puzzled, but then his body began to convulse and twist, "Uh... Ah!!"
Crack!
Bones grew out of place, and green scales started to engulf the man's skin!
Sharp fins and hooks grew out of the man's body, and in the blink of an eye, he had turned into a merman!
Seeing this, the fishermen were so frightened that their legs went weak, and they all started begging for mercy.
But the merman paid them no heed, continuing to reach for the next person.
First slapping the sides of the other's temples, then headbutting, "Awu waxyakamogdos."
"Ah!"
Another person convulsed, turning into a merman.
The group couldn't stand it any longer and jumped ship to escape!
Seeing this, the merman waved his hand, "Bring them back."
Following the merman's command, the two transformed deep divers stood up like zombies.
Then they dived into the water to capture the fleeing fishermen.
"Hmm... Now, I'm no longer the only deep diver. Therefore, I should have a more special title."
"Like, the Sea King."
The merman turned his head, sat on a chair, and casually crossed his legs, quietly waiting.
...
Below the sea.
A group of people desperately fled, but how could their speed compare to that of the deep divers?
Underwater, the speed of the deep divers was undeniably fast!
One deep diver instantly grabbed a man's leg, then violently pulled him into the deep sea, "Hahaha, don't run, Old Liu, become one of us!"
"Get lost, you water ghost!"
"You're blub blub blub..."
"Hahaha, after becoming like this, I feel invincible!"
"Come on, become one of us!"
"With this power, we can conquer the sea!"
"…Become one of us!"
...
One after another, people were continuously dragged onto the ship.
In total, fifty-six people, without exception, were all pulled back by the two deep divers.
Seeing this, the merman stood up and began to transform the remaining people into deep divers as well.
This time, they no longer had the strength to run.
"Awu waxyakamogdos."
...
The sky gradually cleared, and dawn broke.
A ship full of monsters docked at Nanwan Harbor.
Surrounded by a host of deep divers, the merman spread his arms, reverting to his human appearance under the sunlight.
After his second evolution, the merman had acquired an abdomen like that of the black fork-toothed fish.
It could contain objects ten times its own size. Of course, the merman applied this ability to a more special domain.
That was storing water.
He didn't need to urinate through reproductive organs; any part of his body could expel or absorb liquid.
When his body needed water, it would automatically absorb it from his abdomen.
Thus, his merman transformation entered a controllable state.
Because a thin film formed on the surface of his skin, it could isolate rainwater, so even getting wet wouldn't trigger a transformation.
And he could transform into a merman at any time by allowing the water from his abdomen to permeate his epidermis and other parts of his body.
To revert back, he would just absorb all the water back into his abdomen.
Additionally, the merman's ability to cry also became controllable to a certain extent.
Beyond that, he also gained a certain degree of self-healing ability, as well as the capability to create followers like the queen bee.
The followers could also revert to human form, but like him before, they had to completely isolate themselves from all water.
"Kids, from now on, this is your home."
"I have only one requirement for you, obey my commands."
"Any questions?"
One deep diver hesitated for a moment, "I... I have a wife and kids."
The merman sharply turned to him, "Then have them join us, how about that?"
The deep diver immediately shut his mouth.
"Listen well, in this world, you can do anything except defy me, and that lord."
"That lord is...?"
"God."
...
Nanwan Harbor, noon.
The queen bee and the raven nodded at the sight of the fifty-some humans in front of them.
"Not bad, 002, you're well-prepared this time."
The merman's gaze was cold, "I can't disappoint Lord Os again, so this time, I won't underestimate my opponents no matter what."
The raven nodded, "You made the right choice."
"Our target has already joined forces with the police, who have even established a Supernatural Existence Investigation Team."
"Basically, it's specifically aimed at us."
"The lord hasn't commented on this, probably as a test for you, since you're the only one among us who has undergone a second evolution."
The merman pondered for a moment, "Then it's not enough... I need more, at least two hundred thousand deep divers."
Upon hearing this number, the queen bee's eyes widened in shock, "Two hundred thousand, are you planning to attack the United Nations?"
"You're facing a small police station with less than a hundred people."
The merman turned his head, "I thought the same last time, and I paid a bloody price for it. This time, I must be cautious."
Hearing this, the raven transformed into a young girl and burst into laughter, "Are you being overly cautious?"
"What's that?"
"I stumbled upon an anime the other day. The protagonist is a man so cautious it's terrifying to think about. He's just too cautious."
"The villain in it is abstract, actually blocking the entrance to a newbie village!"
"Who does that as a villain?"
Blocking the entrance to a newbie village...
...
"Brother Shen!"
"Mm!"
As Shen Changqing walked down the street, he encountered acquaintances, each of whom would greet or nod at him.
But no matter who it was.
Everyone's face lacked any extra expression, as if they were indifferent to everything.
To this.
Shen Changqing had grown accustomed.
Because this place was the Demon Suppression Division, an institution tasked with maintaining the stability of the Great Qin Dynasty, primarily responsible for slaying demons and ghosts, and of course, it had some other side businesses.
It could be said.
In the Demon Suppression Division, every person's hands were stained with much blood.
When a person becomes accustomed to life and death, they become indifferent to many things.
When Shen Changqing first came to this world, he was somewhat uncomfortable, but over time he also got used to it.
The Demon Suppression Division was vast.
Those who could stay in the Demon Suppression Division were either strong experts or people with the potential to become experts.
Shen Changqing belonged to the latter.
The Demon Suppression Division was divided into two professions: the Guardian and the Exorcist.
Anyone entering the Demon Suppression Division starts from the lowest rank of Exorcist,

then gradually promotes, eventually hoping to become a Guardian.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was an Exorcist in the Demon Suppression Division, and also the lowest kind among them.
Having the predecessor's memory.
He was very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.
Unlike other places in the Demon Suppression Division filled with a deadly aura, this loft stood out like a crane among chickens in the blood-soaked Demon Suppression Division, presenting a different kind of tranquility.
At this moment, the loft's door was wide open, with people occasionally entering and leaving.
Shen Changqing hesitated only for a moment before stepping inside.
Entering the loft.
The environment suddenly changed.
A scent of ink mixed with a faint smell of blood rushed towards him, causing his eyebrows to instinctively furrow, but then quickly relax.
The bloody scent on everyone in the Demon Suppression Division was almost impossible to wash off.
