In a ward of the inpatient department of Qiantang Second Hospital, Xiang Biao had just hung up the phone.
After thinking it over for a while, he limped toward Wang Dong and Hua Zai's ward.
When Xiang Biao arrived at the two men's hospital room, Wang Dong and Hua Zai were watching a variety show. Xiang Biao picked up the remote and turned off the TV.
"Brother Biao, what's up?" Wang Dong spoke first.
Xiang Biao glanced at the two of them.
"Liu Weiliang just called and said that if Wu Jianguo's son doesn't go to Shengtian to sign the demolition contract within two days, he wants us to find someone to tamper with the ICU ward where Wu Jianguo is located to scare them."
Before Wang Dong could even speak, Hua Zai's eyes widened. Could they really do anything to patients in the ICU? Even stopping oxygen for a few minutes could lead to death.
"Brother Biao, you're not going to agree to this, are you? If you do it, you'll make a blood feud with Wu You, and he definitely won't hold back next time."
"Yeah, Brother Biao, we can't take this job for the sake of our brothers' lives." Wang Dong was also anxious. He had a very strong relationship with Hua Zai and Xiang Biao. Even if Xiang Biao bypassed them and found someone to do it himself, could Wu You believe that they were clean?
"Do you think I, Xiang Biao, am stupid? I'll go straight to Wu You and use Liu Weiliang as a pledge of loyalty."
"Yes, yes, I'll go too."
"I...I want to go too." Andy Lau was a little anxious, but his injuries were quite serious, and he could only lie in bed and couldn't move around for the time being.
...
Wang Dong drove a black Volkswagen, with Xiang Biao, whose right leg was in a cast, sitting in the passenger seat. Hua Zai ultimately did not make it.
As they got closer to Xugou Village, the two people in the car became increasingly nervous, fearing that Wu You would let the monster eat them without asking any questions.
On the bus, they kept rehearsing their lines, trying to figure out how to quickly show their goodwill and how to make themselves look innocent, and the more they thought about it, the more confused they became.
...
Wu You had just grasped the two small objects in his hand.
Hint: Capture successful. Obtain material: Aedes albopictus.
Hint: Capture successful. Obtain material: Aedes albopictus.
Then he carefully pressed down on the two leeches in the small porcelain bowl next to him.
Hint: Capture successful, obtained material: Broad-bodied Golden Thread Leech.
Hint: Capture successful, obtained material: Broad-bodied Golden Thread Leech.
Just looking at these things gives me goosebumps; I wonder how terrifying the creatures these two little things could create through alchemy would be.
Tip: Select female Aedes albopictus or Hirudo medicinalis. Confirm?
Select "OK".
Immediately afterwards, Wu You focused his attention on the alchemy drawing board.
Because leeches are truly disgusting and frightening, and their physical characteristics are only secondary in this case, Wu You didn't exaggerate their appearance too much in this alchemical drawing. However, even though he didn't deliberately draw them, some characteristics of leeches and mosquitoes inevitably flashed through his mind.
Just like many people who are afraid of something and try to forget it, those memories just won't go away.
The additional depictions on the Alchemy Palette also reflect some of the lingering thoughts in Wu You's mind.
System evaluation: Body arrangement accuracy 85%, alchemy success rate increased by 8.5%.
The current success rate is 50% + 8.5%.
Is it alchemy?
Choose to refine alchemy immediately.
In the material warehouse, Aedes albopictus and Hirudo macrocarpa transformed into streams of light and were incorporated into the alchemy canvas. Once the fusion was complete, the ferocious creature on the canvas flapped its wings.
Hint: Alchemy successful. Please name it.
Unexpectedly, it was another success. My luck seems to be pretty good lately.
Looking at the ferocious insect that had already been collected into the beast pen space, Wu You chose to name it: Ghost Mosquito.
Alchemical Creature: Ghost Mosquito, Name: None available
Talents: Poisonous Paralysis, Breath Concealment
Abilities: Flight, Attachment, Absorption/Injection
Basic rating: Advanced Black Iron (trainable)
System description: This is a terrifying alien insect.
Choose to summon Ghost Mosquito.
A black, veil-like stream of light flashed by, and the terrifying ghost leech was truly revealed to its creator.
From a distance, it looks a bit like a large, curled-up mosquito, but a closer look will give you goosebumps.
Its transparent and sharp wings are covered with mysterious patterns, its limbs are covered with bristles, and its feet are covered with soft suckers. The insect's abdomen is curled up with long, thin, spiraled folds, which easily reminds people of soft-bodied creatures such as earthworms and leeches. Below its crystal-like compound eyes are three jaws that can open and close, and deep in the mouth between the jaws is a ferocious mouthpart with a metallic color.
shudder!
This was the first time Wu You felt that perhaps the alchemy attempt had failed.
Even Garurumon, who had already reached the advanced Bronze level and was approaching its metamorphosis, glanced sideways at the Ghost Mosquito without Wu You's command.
Wu You sighed inwardly, hoping that Liu Weiliang and Sheng Tian wouldn't go too far.
...
Wang Dong parked the car in Xugou Village, and then he and Xiang Biao got out and walked towards the back of the village. As the number of tiled houses in the village decreased and the plants, weeds and farmland increased, they knew they were getting close to their destination.
Xiang Biao, leaning on two canes, didn't care about any prepared speech at this point. He thought that as long as he could explain what he knew clearly, he would have completed his task. Whether Wu You accepted him or not, they could still make a good impression.
Before Wang Dong and Xiang Biao even got close to the Wu family's contracted land, they had already been discovered by Jia Lulu and Wu You.
Wu You chased the ghost mosquitoes into the field, then sat down on a chair in front of his house to wait. Garuru, dressed in a black suit and trousers and now dressed in a new outfit, stood like a sculpture behind Wu You.
With his hands relaxed behind his head, Wu You wanted to see what these two guys were up to.
...
Xiang Biao and Wang Dong's eyesight was naturally not as abnormal as Garuru's. They could only barely see a person sitting at the entrance of the old tile-roofed house of the Wu family when they entered the Wu family's enclosure. Behind that person stood a burly man who looked like a bodyguard.
Because of Xiang Biao's leg injury, the two of them walked slowly, taking several minutes to carefully reach Wu You.
Even from a distance, one is struck by the imposing stature of the bodyguard; as he gets closer, he seems even more menacing, and one dares not look at him for long, focusing all attention on Wu You.
"What do you two want? Are you here on behalf of Shengtian to threaten me?" Wu You asked them calmly as they approached.
Xiang Biao hurriedly replied, "No, no, no, Young Master Wu, you've misunderstood. My brothers and I have long disliked Liu Weiliang, and we've come here on another occasion."
"What's the matter?" Wu You was puzzled, wondering what else he could possibly have to do with them.
Xiang Biao hesitated for a moment before not answering Wu You's question directly.
"Young Master Wu, if I may ask a question first, what we saw that night... that... that has nothing to do with you?" Xiang Biao wanted to be on the safe side and confirm one last time.
Wu You understood a little; Xiang Biao must have something to tell him, and he was still testing his own strength.
"Oh, what do you guys think of my bodyguard's looks?"
"Huh?" This sentence left Xiang Biao and Wang Dong puzzled. What did the bodyguard's appearance have to do with this? Even if the bodyguard was strong, what use would it be when he was fighting against Shengtian Group?
But Xiang Biao still subconsciously looked up at Garuru's face. Just now, because of his fierce demeanor, he hadn't dared to linger his gaze on the bodyguard.
"Biao...Brother Biao..." Wang Dong stammered, tugging at Xiang Biao's hand. "I...I...I feel like he looks a bit like..."
Xiang Biao's body also began to tremble. The two of them stared at each other with their mouths agape, then looked at the composed Wu You, and swallowed hard.
If it were someone else, seeing Garuru's appearance, they would only feel fierce and fearful, thinking that its sharp edges resembled those of a ferocious beast.
However, Xiang Biao and Wang Dong had personally witnessed the Lion-Faced King Kong up close, and seeing Garuru's current appearance, they could completely understand what the bodyguard's true identity was.
The monster has taken human form!
