No one could understand the feelings in Xi Han’s heart at this moment.
Shock, fear, jealousy, and anxiety.
Looking at the way Jiu Shu gently wiped the bloo*d from the others’s faces, Xi Han almost thought that he had been abandoned by Jiu Shu.
This hard-earned relationship was about to disappear because of a third party.
He almost despaired.
Fortunately, the next moment, Xi Han reacted.
He recognized the man with his back to himself.
It was precisely A who had just been done away with by him.
He didn’t expect him to be alive, and he even ran in front of Jiu Shu and tried to snatch his lover.
Xi Han looked into the impostor’s eyes that had the same love for Jiu Shu and hated him to the point of wanting to dig out his disgusting eyeballs.
Jiu Shu must have been deceived by this impostor; that was why he was so gentle with him.
He must tell Jiu Shu the truth and save Jiu Shu from this impostor.
Thinking this way, before he could speak, Xi Han heard the impostor say in the same tone as himself, “Jiu Shu, quickly get out of here; this is the impostor!”
“He will hurt you!”
Looking at the evil impostor, Xi Han’s pupils dilated.
He gritted his teeth in anger. “Jiu Shu, don’t believe him; he’s the impostor. Come to me; let’s get out of here together!”
He knew that these imposters would come to impede his happiness with Jiu Shu, and he wanted to solve it in advance, but he didn’t expect that one would actually escape.
But it didn’t matter; he ki*lled him once, so he could k*ill him twice.
He had always been very patient.
”Xi Han” also looked at the impostor on the opposite side.
His eyes were filled with disgust.
This impostor, who had taken over his body, was actually so hypocritical.
Acting naturally as if it were really his body, he even ran in front of Jiu Shu and tried to deceive him.
‘Xi Han’ really wanted to cut out this impostor’s tongue so that he could no longer believe in what he was saying.
Seeing the k*illing intent in the eyes of ‘Xi Han’, Xi Han in the doorway narrowed his eyes and held a scalpel in his hand.
He was ready to deal with him at any time.
Seeing this, ‘Xi Han’ also stood in front of Jiu Shu, preventing Jiu Shu from being hurt by Xi Han.
“……”
And just in the gap between the two of them staring at each other, Jiu Shu had been standing in the room without moving.
This made the two, who were ready to fight each other, get a little anxious.
They didn’t know why Jiu Shu was still here.
It wouldn’t be good if he was splattered with bloo*d during the fight.
“Jiu Shu, quickly hide at the back; don’t get close; you’ll get hurt.”
“Jiu Shu, come over here quickly! Stay away from that imposter!”
The two spoke in unison.
While being wary of each other, they worriedly glanced at Jiu Shu.
Jiu Shu stood right next to them, his expression blank as he looked at them.
The unusually calm eyes caused an inexplicable fear.
The two froze, not knowing why Jiu Shu was staring at them with such eyes.
Looking at him, the raging k*illing intent from earlier didn’t dare to show itself again.
“Alright, stop for now.”
Jiu Shu said, walking over to Xi Han and easily jerking away the scalpel in his hand that he never allowed anyone else to touch.
No. 275, who had been possessed by Xi Han earlier, had his chest and abdomen cut open, and his heart was cut out and given to him.
Jiu Shu felt that if he didn’t make a move now, ‘Xi Han’ would most likely end up the same way.
Jiu Shu didn’t want to see them k*ill each other.
In Jiu Shu’s eyes, they were all the same person now; they just didn’t have a unified mind like they did in the last world.
Xi Han’s fingers trembled as he watched his scalpel being held in the hands of Jiu Shu and glanced at the impostor not far away.
In the end, he remained silent.
Forget it; it really wasn’t good to ki*ll someone in front of Jiu Shu.
It wouldn’t be too late to deal with this impostor when Jiu Shu was absent.
On the other side, ‘Xi Han’ looked at Jiu Shu, who was approaching the impostor with a natural expression; his expression was a little baffled.
Jiu Shu didn’t seem to be afraid of that imposter at all and looked at him with a gentle expression, as if he really thought of him as him.
But clearly not; he was Xi Han.
He was Jiu Shu’s lover.
That impostor shamelessly occupied his body, took over his identity, and even acquired his memories.
But no matter what, he wasn’t Xi Han; he wasn’t him.
“Jiu Shu?”
‘Xi Han’ spoke somewhat cautiously, like a large dog that was about to be abandoned by its master and, for that reason, could only walk on thin ice more and more.
“……” Jiu Shu looked back at him somewhat helplessly.
In the end, he could only walk over to a side chair and sit down, gesturing for them to sit next to him.
Hopefully they would calm down a little, or at least not continue to fight like this.
“I read the information on the computer and know that you’re all the same person.”
Jiu Shu spoke calmly.
The two Xi Han’s bodies stiffened at the same time, and their gazes coincidentally looked at the desk to the side.
It was the computer that had been opened.
He had clearly set a password.
“The password was my name and your initials; it was easy to guess, so it opened easily.”
Jiu Shu rested his cheeks on his hands and lightly answered when he saw the confusion on their faces.
Though, with his skill, even if he didn’t know the password, he could still easily open it.
“……”
That wasn’t really what the two cared about.
Rather, it was certain files on the computer.
“…… What were you guys thinking? What about those surreptitious pictures of me?”
All of them were pictures intercepted from the surveillance, and he especially liked to take pictures of his sleeping face while he was asleep.
He also patiently categorized each photo into a different folder.
The names of the folders were also named “cute,” “very cute,” “really cute,” and other simple and easy-to-understand names.
Jiu Shu’s pretty almond eyes curved up slightly.
“!”
The two Xi Han fell into silence at the same time, lowering their heads for a long time without daring to look up.
“No, it’s not that…”
Both of them spoke out at the same time, trying to explain.
He was just occasionally looking through the surveillance to check if something had happened to Jiu Shu, and he had saved some very nice photos in passing.
It wasn’t an intentional sneak peek.
He had no intention of spying on Jiu Shu; it was just out of a researcher’s personal habits.
He really was a very normal, stable, and reliable lover.
He wasn’t the kind of person who liked to monitor his lover’s every move.
Seeing both of them sweating cold sweat and speaking incoherently at the same time, Jiu Shu just smiled, his eyes still gentle.
He could certainly detect that he was being watched by surveillance cameras, so he basically acquiesced to Xi Han’s actions.
“It’s okay, don’t worry; I don’t really care about that stuff. I just want you guys to know that you’re the same person, so don’t k*ill each other.”
Actually, the problem was very easy to solve.
It would be fine as long as Xi Han’s mental energy was slightly stronger, so strong that he could control his mental energy on his own and become the main body in the body of consciousness.
Just like the god of doom in the last world, when there was a unified brain to control it, there would be no more fighting.
Instead of splitting their consciousness all over the place like they did now.
All of the shelters’ consciousnesses were filled with Xi Han’s consciousness, and none of them were able to connect with the main body yet.
“Did you hear me?”
Listening to Jiu Shu’s gentle voice, Xi Han’s eyes flickered, and the corners of his mouth reluctantly hooked into a smile as he nodded.
Jiu Shu looked at ‘Xi Han’ too.
‘Xi Han’ looked at Jiu Shu in a bit of a daze.
So he wasn’t the real Xi Han; the one occupying his body was the real Xi Han, and he was just an impostor.
When Xi Han’s power was strong enough to engulf his consciousness, he would disappear, leaving only the real Xi Han to stay with Jiu Shu.
Nothing had anything to do with him.
“Don’t get carried away; you’re also Xi Han; it’s just that you’re now temporarily separated; there’s no difference between you.”
Jiu Shu moved closer to ‘Xi Han’ and stroked his short, soft black hair in a soothing gesture.
“……”
Xi Han looked at Jiu Shu’s fingers on the impostor’s head.
Fine, white, and soft, with gentle fingertips that should have only been so close to him.
Now it was being shared with another.
“…… Yeah, we’re not different; we’re the same person.”
After a brief moment of silence, Xi Han’s slender fingers resting on his knees tightened slightly, revealing the same friendly smile as usual.
The curved, amber-colored eyes were different from ‘Xi Han’.
It was as if they were looking in a mirror; both eyes harbored a deep hatred for each other.
But in front of Jiu Shu, they both maintained their superficial friendliness.
“Now isn’t the time to k*ill each other; we should send Jiu Shu out of the base first, or else someone else will come to grab Jiu Shu next.” Xi Han’s tone was serious and worried as he held Jiu Shu’s palm.
The smile at the corner of his mouth only became genuine the moment he held Jiu Shu’s palm.
“Jiu Shu, don’t you think so?”
Like a child, Xi Han waited for Jiu Shu’s praise.
‘Xi Han’, on the other hand, stared at the hands that Xi Han and Jiu Shu clasped together without a word, his face turning a few shades paler.
Jiu Shu glanced at the two and said, “Yes, that’s right.”
He could see the dark tides between the two, but there was nothing he could do about it at the moment, so perhaps he would have to wait until they got out.
“By the way, are you two the only two consciousnesses that were assimilated?”
At those words, Xi Han’s movements stalled.
He remembered the two B and C beside A.
At that time, he had only thought of assimilating A, but later, due to the emotional turmoil of seeing Jiu Shu go missing, he didn’t know if B and C had been assimilated.
If they were assimilated, wouldn’t there be two more troublesome guys?
“Yes, only I was assimilated.”
‘Xi Han’ spoke out and answered Jiu Shu’s question for Xi Han, his eyes a little dark and timid.
After learning that he was only an assimilated version of himself, ‘Xi Han’ had become cautious for fear of being rejected by Jiu Shu.
It was only after a long while that he tentatively reached out his hand, and with Jiu Shu’s acquiescence, he took Jiu Shu’s other hand.
A smile made his amber-colored eyes curve; he looked happier.
It was as if those two companions who were maliciously discarded by him in the containment area and bitten by monsters were really not assimilated.
The assistant was placed in a lab cabinet with his hands bound.
His mouth was also covered with duct tape, so he couldn’t make a sound at all.
He hadn’t taken in a drop of water since yesterday, and even without the tape, he was already so weak that he could barely make a sound.
The assistant felt extremely unlucky to have stumbled upon a spy plot by a monster protection organization, and then he was easily knocked unconscious.
This was a semi-abandoned laboratory within the base, and in the past, there had been an incident in which a shelter had escaped and gone on a rampage. Due to the shelter’s ability to contain toxic substances, the toxins haven’t evaporated completely to this day.
So no one could stay in this lab for long, and now that he had stayed for so long, the assistant felt that he was going to die soon.
Woo–
Suddenly, an alarm bell came from outside the lab.
The assistant rejoiced, thinking that those people from the Monster Protection Organization had already made their move and were discovered.
The base had probably started searching around at this moment.
Then they should be able to find this place soon; he was saved!
The assistant trembled with excitement, banging on the cabinet with a thud.
He couldn’t wait to be rescued.
He was starting to get claustrophobic.
Snap-snap-snap.
There were footsteps walking into the lab.
The assistant became even more agitated, and, thinking it must be the searching guards, he banged on the cabinet harder and harder.
Splat: The footsteps stopped at the cabinet.
The assistant wept with joy.
As the door slowly opened, the first thing that caught the assistant’s eye was the corner of the researcher’s white uniform.
The blo*od stained on the corners of the uniform were dripping down.
His trousers and leather shoes were also covered with flesh and bl*ood tissues from an animal, it stuck to the upper surface of his shoes in a sticky manner.
A trail of bloo*dy footprints was left on the floor in response to the man’s walking movements.
As the assistant watched this, he suddenly stopped his agitated movements and raised his head with a pounding heart to see the man’s pale and handsome face.
His eyes were warm, but it was an unfamiliar face.
“It’s you.”
The man’s amber eyes stared straight at the assistant with a somewhat regretful sigh.
Apparently, the person in the cabinet wasn’t what he had expected.
The assistant didn’t know who he had expected to be in the cupboard; he only knew that he was on the verge of cardiac arrest.
He saw the corner of the man’s mouth hooked up in what looked like a friendly smile.
And the other hand behind his back.
From the small mirror across the lab, he could see that he was holding a scalpel between his fingers.
The way the knife was held was inexplicably familiar to the assistant.
It was a gesture that showed that the knife was going to come down in the next second.
If he hadn’t raised his head at the first opportunity just now, he was afraid that the scalpel would have stabbed into his skull.
“……” Thinking of this, the assistant’s teeth involuntarily clenched, and he was unable to make a single sound.
“Have you been kid-napped? How sad! Let me get you out.”
The man looked like he was familiar with the assistant and naturally carried the assistant out and threw him to the ground. With a slight movement of the scalpel, he cut all the ropes binding the assistant.
After being untied, it took the assistant a while to adjust to his hands and feet, which had become numb due to the lack of bl*ood flow, and he climbed up from the ground.
“Thank you, thank you.” The assistant shakily said thanks.
His eyes didn’t dare to look in the man’s direction at all.
He felt that he had really had bad luck recently, not to mention being kid-napped, now he had also encountered a guy who was even more terrifying than the people from the Monster Protection Organization.
Looking at the corners of his mouth that were hooked up in a smile, the assistant was practically crying from fear.
He was really afraid that he would be stabbed to death just after being rescued.
It would be better to continue staying in the locker; at least his little life would be firmly secured.
“What? You don’t recognize me? I’m Xi Han.”
The man’s troubled voice creeped the assistant out. He looked at the man in horror, not knowing what he was talking about.
Seeing this, the man remained gentle.
“Because of a shelter’s ability, my body was temporarily taken over, and I’m now trapped in this body.”
This body was named B.
If he had known this would happen, he wouldn’t have tried to assimilate them back then.
Now it had caused all those people to think that they were Xi Han, and they all wanted to snatch his beloved Jiu Shu from him.
Only he could have Jiu Shu.
That was why the others had to die.
It was enough for Xi Han to have just one, just him.
“Xi Han, Dr. Xi Han? You became like this? Ah, just now I didn’t recognize you; I’m so sorry!”
The assistant subconsciously bowed and apologized, but in the next second, he was still a little suspicious and stole a glance at ‘Xi Han’, especially the blo*od stains on his body.
If it really was Dr. Xi Han, how could he have appeared here?
“I was tracking that escaped shelter; it ran too fast; he was obviously already injured, yet he still ran so fast, really worthy of being a monster.”
“The bloo*d on my body is all from the process of capturing him; it can’t be helped. He’s quite smart; he specifically ran towards the area of powerful shelters.”
Xi Han furrowed his brows and spoke in disgust.
Obviously, he was looking for that shelter just now, which was why he was holding a scalpel behind his back.
The assistant was relieved when he heard this.
After hearing Xi Han B say a few more pieces of confidential information about his work that only Xi Han knew, the assistant completely believed him.
After all, the shelters had evolved rapidly recently, and many of them had superpowers.
It wasn’t uncommon to have the ability to make people switch souls; it was just that the doctor was unlucky enough to be switched.
“It’s terrible; we must tell the supervisors in the base quickly; otherwise, it would be bad if that shelter that has taken over your body uses the power in its hands to release the shelters.”
The assistant said with a sad expression.
If Dr. Xi Han made such a big mistake, even if he was possessed, he would inevitably be punished.
He, the assistant, would even bear the brunt of the bonus deduction.
“Yeah, it bothers me too, so I have to find that shelter faster to fix this.”
Xi Han B walked down the corridor, looking down at the series of bloo*dy footprints on the corridor, his voice helpless.
After a pause, his amber eyes glanced at his assistant.
“By the way, can you do me a favor?”
“Help me find the shelter.”
Xi Han B’s eyes curled as he smiled placidly.
Xi Han B led the assistant to a nearby lab.
The labs over here were all in the process of being redecorated, so few people came, but the equipment that needed to be installed had already been installed.
Among them was the connection to the base’s central system as well as the base’s monitoring information.
“There’s no way for me to pass fingerprint verification in this body right now, so I can only rely on you.”
Xi Han B said this seriously, patting the assistant’s shoulder with great trust.
Although the assistant was already very tired, he regained his spirit in the face of Dr. Xi Han’s trust.
He began to search for information about the shelter in the surveillance.
“May I ask what the information on the shelter’s appearance is?”
The assistant inquired very professionally.
“An adult shelter that is one meter eight and a half tall, has no left arm, and walks upright on both legs.”
Xi Han B’s voice came from behind, and the assistant immediately entered the information.
But just as he was about to press the search button, he suddenly stopped moving.
Because he suddenly remembered that he had just checked the information about the shelters in the base the day before yesterday, and there were very few shelters that were either taller or shorter than a meter and a half.
And… arms, legs.
How come it sounded so much like a human?
“What’s wrong? Why did you stop?”
Xi Han B’s pale face that carried a smile was reflected on the screen, and in his voice was an unmistakable natural confusion.
The assistant’s eyes trembled as it moved downwards, catching a glimpse of what appeared to be some congealed flesh and bloo*d tissue amidst all that blood and water at the corner of Xi Han B’s uniform.
Like a human finger.
“……”
Xi Han B slapped the corner of his uniform and slapped away those dirty and muddy bl*ood and flesh tissues.
“What a nuisance; I don’t know when it stuck.”
He said it somewhat wanly.
When he raised his eyes again, his amber orbs took on a more somber and lurid dark color.
“That guy recovers fast; I have to find him fast.”
Otherwise, the arm was going to grow back.
What a monster—the troublesome guy who could still move after having his limbs eaten.
He was becoming more and more like a monster after being assimilated.
Gulp-
The assistant withdrew his gaze with a pale face and pressed the button with a blank brain.
Regardless of whether the person in front of him was Dr. Xi Han or not and what exactly he was looking for, it all didn’t matter.
He only wanted to live now, so he absolutely couldn’t reveal any flaws in front of the man behind him.
As soon as the button was pressed, information quickly appeared on the screen.
The most detailed surveillance and heat-sensing information about the base’s interior was all revealed.
The location of the target was also shown.
A place close to the fifth lab.
Click-
The assistant heard the sound of something being stepped on from behind him.
He warily looked from the corner of his eyes and saw that not far behind him, Xi Han B looked down at the finger under his feet, his face expressionless.
How dare he go near Jiu Shu?
What a disgusting monster!
After crushing the broken bones under his feet, the expression on Xi Han B’s face finally became a little softer.
Putting a smile back on, he walked towards the outside of the lab.
Having already found the exact location, he was no longer useful, so it should be possible for him to let him go now.
Seeing this, the assistant suppressed his fear and sat in front of the console without moving.
“Why aren’t you leaving yet? Do you want me to invite you?”
The familiar guttural voice coming from behind him shattered the last expectations in the assistant’s heart, and he quickly stood up, fawningly shaking his head back and forth.
“No, no, I just have numb legs, hahaha! Doctor, you go first; I’ll follow behind!”
Xi Han B narrowed his eyes and walked out of the lab without comment.
He still needed this guy to help him open the various systems in the lab, so he wouldn’t bother him for now.
Xi Han B could see that this assistant, who wasn’t thinking clearly, didn’t recognize him and thought of him as a murderer.
But he didn’t care what this assistant thought; he just wanted to quickly find Jiu Shu and explain the truth to him.
He had to keep him away from the assimilated monsters.
He was the only one who was his true lover.
His only lover.
Only he could be with Jiu Shu forever.
The assistant, who was hunched over to the side and had been carefully peeking at Xi Han B, saw his pleasant stride not far away and the sickly smile that curled the corners of his mouth.
It was creepy, like he was imagining something horrible.
The assistant wanted to cry and only hoped that he wasn’t thinking about how to destroy him in a while.
With a specific route in mind, the two moved exceptionally fast.
There were also guards passing by the duo along the way.
The assistant had expected the guards to react to the unfamiliar man that was covered in b*lood.
As it turned out, the guards didn’t treat him as an intruder at all.
Instead, they nodded respectfully before continuing on with the search at a hurried pace.
In response, the assistant could only continue to follow the man with a sad expression, awaiting his unknown fate.
“It seems to be around here, Doctor.” The assistant said it in a pandering manner.
Doggedly, he pointed to a few nearby laboratories.
Xi Han B’s gaze went to one of the labs.
This body of his had a keen sense of smell, from which he could smell the pungent smell of blo*od.
That guy should be hiding inside.
It looked like he probably hadn’t found Jiu Shu yet.
This was good news for Xi Han B.
After all, explaining the wounds on that guy’s body to Jiu Shu would be a troublesome task.
Did he have to directly tell Jiu Shu that he pushed the assimilated guy who thought he was Xi Han into the mouth of a shelter?
Lifting up his white uniform and looking at the healing wound on his arm, no emotion could be seen in Xi Han B’s eyes.
A had run off and left him and C in the holding area, and he had made a point of throwing two pieces of raw meat into the holding area to irritate the shelter.
So the two of them fought, paying the cost of the guy’s limbs and his own arm to finish off the fat-filled shelter.
He had purposely pushed the guy near the not-yet-dead monster before he left the shelter area, purely not wanting to get his hands dirty; after all, he knew that Jiu Shu didn’t like death.
He had thought that the guy was dead, but he didn’t expect him to come out.
Thinking about it, Xi Han B was infuriated.
He was just a fake, yet he didn’t obediently wait to die; instead, he was still thinking of running out to grab Jiu Shu.
He was really not self-conscious.
He must have thought that he was Xi Han, the lover of Jiu Shu.
Ridiculous.
It was obvious that he was Jiu Shu’s only lover.
“Doctor? You, are you alright?”
The assistant looked in horror at the palm of Xi Han B’s hand, which had been pinched to the point of bleeding.
Xi Han B glanced at this assistant, who was always fussing, ignored him, and walked straight towards the laboratory where C was.
And looking at Xi Han B’s back, the assistant hesitated for a while.
After realizing that Xi Han B didn’t notice where he was going, he ran in the opposite direction.
It was time to run!
The assistant, who had been scared out of his wits for the past two days, couldn’t stand it anymore.
He had to get out of here, away from that scary man who claimed to be Dr. Xi Han and this base full of Monster Protection Organization spies.
The security system at the base was too lousy!
It was on the verge of being infiltrated into a sieve by the Monster Protection Organization’s people, and even after seeing the bl*ood-covered Xi Han B just now, they didn’t even think to stop and ask about the situation.
The assistant was even beginning to think that he was the only sane person left on this base.
He felt that if he didn’t leave here today, he would probably see his own corpse tomorrow.
Bang–
The assistant, who was running wildly, suddenly felt that he was about to collide with someone; he couldn’t swerve in time, but the person sidestepped his body, letting him hit the wall and hit his head.
The assignment covered his head, his hands were covered in bl*ood, and he was dizzy.
He was almost in tears over his miserable life.
“What are you doing here?”
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from above his head.
The assistant froze, looked up, and saw Dr. Xi Han’s face.
His mind was spinning, and he hesitated for a while before he was convinced that what was in front of him was really Dr. Xi Han.
Looking at his expression, it didn’t look like he had been soul-switched, so the strange man just now was really deceiving him.
The assistant shivered and hastily explained all that he had just experienced.
He wanted the doctor to be more careful; the man’s words and behavior were really all exactly like the doctor’s.
If it wasn’t for the different faces, he really would have believed it.
The assistant didn’t notice that when he heard him mention Xi Han B, Xi Han’s amber pupils settled into the same eerie dark color as Xi Han B’s.
But his expression was gentle enough to hide it all.
“Is that so? Indeed, I recently encountered a shelter that likes to mimic the appearance of humans but only mimics mannerisms. You did the right thing; it’s fortunate that you escaped, or else you would have died there.”
“That’s the new shelter; you probably don’t know about its hobby; it enjoys sucking on brains.”
Xi Han’s creepy voice had the assistant spooked.
“Show me the way; this dangerous shelter must be locked up or there will be more victims.”
Xi Han frowned slightly, his expression heavy.
The assistant knew that Xi Han really didn’t want to see the tragic situation of humans being eaten by monsters and understood his feelings at this time, but he really didn’t want to go back.
“Hurry up and lead the way.”
Xi Han glanced at the hesitant assistant.
The assistant instantly had a jolt; not daring to hesitate any longer, he trotted ahead to lead the way.
They soon came to the door of the laboratory.
The assistant heard the sound of something violently colliding coming from the lab, and after a moment, it returned to silence.
In its place was the toothsome sound of bones rubbing together.
It was almost as if someone was grinding bones with a saw.
“You were really careless. You didn’t stand firm just now and got soaked in the sulfuric acid tank, and now you actually got stuck in the grinding machine.”
In the laboratory, Xi Han B was smiling as he looked at the man with his arm stuck in the machine under his feet.
Two pairs of equally colored eyes were facing each other, one with a mean smile and the other with a resentment so thick that it was almost overflowing.
The man who collapsed on the ground originally had a tall and well-proportioned body, but now he was corroded by the sulfuric acid without a piece of good skin; even his tongue couldn’t move; his fast-repairing body couldn’t catch up with the speed of the sulfuric acid’s destruction.
The arm was stuck in the joint by a machine specifically designed for grinding bones in the laboratory, and it was about to be completely cut off.
In the face of this inhuman pain, the man never let out a single cry of pain, only looking at the body of consciousness in front of him with resentful eyes.
The tiger fell down and was bullied by the dog; he was assassinated by the self-proclaimed body of consciousness in front of him and ended up in such a situation that he could only be slaughtered.
He was unwilling to do so; he had yet to see Jiu Shu and have everything explained to him.
“You’re not still thinking you’re Xi Han, are you, impostor?”
“You’re just an assimilated piece of experimental rubbish that shouldn’t exist.”
Xi Han B’s tone was kind, yet every word pierced to the bone.
Xi Han C’s eyes became more and more gloomy.
If he wasn’t the original body, then this B in front of him wasn’t the original body, either.
Both were nothing more than assimilated remnants.
He was originally a puppet controlled by 001, but now that he had some memories, he thought he had a beautiful lover and a happy future, but he didn’t know how ridiculous he was.
He was just a tool that had lost value and would be discarded when he wasn’t needed.
“I am Jiu Shu’s lover.”
Xi Han C barely managed to utter the last few words with his repaired tongue.
Xi Han B’s eyes went cold, and the smile at the corner of his mouth became gloomy.
“A guy who is still restless even at the point of death.”
Inside the dimly lit laboratory, a scalpel appeared in Xi Han B’s fingers, and he was about to dispose of C. In the next moment, his arm was suddenly pierced by the scalpel.
There was also a low laugh in his ears.
“I found you guys.”
What shady imposters!
Xi Han let go of his hand and watched as Xi Han B covered his arm with a wary look on his face, the smirk on his face still there.
These two imposters actually thought they were the real him, just like that A.
While Jiu Shu was out of the picture, it was only a matter of grabbing them and getting rid of them.
That way, Jiu Shu would never know that there were still two of them.
He would also have two less big troubles.
At the entrance of the lab, the assistant looked inside the lab and covered his mouth in fear.
Puddles of bl*ood, scalpels that glistened in the light.
As well as the eerie expressions on the two similarly-looking faces.
Even after seeing many images of monsters being dissected and many images of humans being eaten by monsters, the assistant still found the image in front of him incomparably terrifying.
The pure and thick malice between them almost condensed in the air.
Dr. Xi Han and the man across from him both had sickly smiles on their faces, chilling to the bones.
Was this really still Dr. Xi Han?
The assistant felt that it really was as if Xi Han’s soul had been exchanged, and he no longer had the graciousness and amiability that he used to have.
Or perhaps this was his true nature?
“…… Vomit-”
The assistant went limp and couldn’t hold back any longer as he crawled outside to vomit.
Suddenly there was an additional shadow in front of him, and he raised his head to see a familiar silhouette appearing at the corner of the corridor, walking towards here.
Inside the lab, the fight continued.
Xi Han had the upper hand, at the cost of a blo*odied cheek.
“Tsk.”
Xi Han touched the wound on his face in annoyance.
This damned impostor deliberately scratched at his face.
How was he going to meet Jiu Shu later with this ugly look?
“You are finished!”
He stomped hard on Xi Han B’s head.
Sticky blo*od was being spat out of Xi Han B’s mouth as his amber eyes looked at Xi Han with resentment.
For his part, Xi Han smiled a twisted and sweet smile.
As long as they all disappeared, Jiu Shu would always be his alone, and no one would ever try to take his Jiu Shu away from him again.
Jiu Shu would always be with him, and they would live happily ever after.
He couldn’t wait to live a beautiful life with his beloved Jiu Shu.
However, just as Xi Han was about to strike hard, the sound of the door being pushed open suddenly came from the lab behind him.
Snap-snap-snap-
The familiar sound of footsteps coming from outside the door caused the few Xi Hans’ to instantly stiffen.
With their current ugly and hideous appearance, how could they meet Jiu Shu?
So when Jiu Shu pushed open the door, what he saw was Xi Han, who was desperately wiping his cheek, incidentally using his long black hair to cover the wound on his cheek.
As well as Xi Han B, who was lying on the ground next to another Xi Han, trying to wipe away the muddy blo*od stains on his own face with his fractured palm.
“……”
Jiu Shu raised his eyebrows slightly, his gaze shifting to the other side of the room.
The only person in the lab who was different was Xi Han.
He lowered his head and leaned against the wall, seemingly silent.
The injuries all over his body were so severe that they were shocking, and every inch of his exposed skin showed traces of blo*od flow as well as corrosion.
“Jiu Shu I… ”
Looking at Jiu Shu, who walked into the lab, Xi Han, who had managed to tidy up his appearance, forced a smile and took a few steps forward, ready to explain everything to Jiu Shu.
But unexpectedly, Jiu Shu brushed past him.
He went straight in the direction of Xi Han C.
When Xi Han C sensed someone in front of him, he struggled to open his eyes, and what he saw was Jiu Shu’s beautiful face.
On the porcelain white face were pupils that were beautiful to the extreme.
He was the only figure inside.
“Are you okay?”
Jiu Shu carefully picked up Xi Han C so that he could lean on his arms.
Even though Xi Han C was afraid of dirtying Jiu Shu’s clothes, he didn’t let go of his embrace.
“Alright, take a rest; don’t move around.”
Jiu Shu’s fingers brushed over Xi Han C’s head, which had been corroded by sulfuric acid and was slowly healing, and the pain of being corroded came from his fingertips.
Apparently, there was still residue on his skin.
But Jiu Shu didn’t care and gently moved Xi Han C away to a cleaner spot next to him.
His empty arm made Jiu Shu’s expression slightly heavy.
“It’s okay. I was careless.”
Xi Han C spoke weakly; his face, which had already been repaired first, leaned against Jiu Shu’s shoulder. He didn’t report to Jiu Shu but instead appeared even more pitiful.
However, where Jiu Shu couldn’t see, there was an almost twisted, insatiable satisfaction in his amber-colored eyes.
Especially when he looked towards Xi Han and Xi Han B, who were not far away and looked confused under Jiu Shu’s dismissal, his amber eyes curved slightly.
Revealing a smile so happy and pleasant that it bordered on mockery.
It didn’t matter if he wasn’t the original body.
It was enough to just ki*ll all the other Xi Han and make sure that the one who lived to the end was him.
After all, he was the only one who loved Jiu Shu the most.
He was Jiu Shu’s true lover.
