Chapter 52 Chapter 52 Showdown
Lu Kuo didn't dare to answer the life-threatening question asked by Chi Shuangliu.
He felt a strange sense of awkwardness in his heart - beauty and ugliness are concepts unique to humans. In nature, beauty and ugliness are useless. Prey will not surrender to being killed just because you are beautiful, and predators will not avoid eating you tonight just because you are extremely ugly.
Chi Shuangliu's true form is indeed hideous and ferocious, but sharp teeth and huge body are the glory of a high-level predator. Why would he care about beauty or ugliness?
Unconsciously, Chi Shuangliu seemed to be slowly endowed with a bit of humanity - Lu Kuo didn't know whether it was good or bad.
Fortunately, Chi Shuangliu didn't care about Lu Kuo's answer. He stood up and stepped into the space that nourished the spiritual body.
The color of the spirit body was a little darker than before, showing an ominous purple-black color. The tentacles gradually became thicker, and the suction cups on them kept inhaling and exhaling and contracting. A few of its closed eyes slowly opened - no matter how many times you look at it, it doesn't resemble a human at all.
Chi Shuangliu was silent for a moment, then raised his hand and gave himself a micro plastic surgery, turning up the "slimming", "whitening", "big eyes" and "soft light" settings - but it didn't work, and he looked even scarier.
He thought for a moment, then tapped his fingers in the air. His body transformed into a cute cartoon octopus from children's animations—he frowned first.
Looking at the mentally retarded cartoon-like figure, Chi Shuangliu had to admit that Shen Run was more important to him than he thought.
He didn't know what kind of feelings he had for Shen Run, but as soon as he got close to her, he would instinctively secrete saliva, his stomach began to rumble, and he felt hungry as if he hadn't eaten for a long time. He couldn't control the urge to lick and kiss her, and bite her. His nose seemed to be connected to his genitals, and as soon as he caught her scent, he would react instinctively - this was a complex emotion mixed with appetite, sexual desire and possessiveness.
The only thing that was certain was that he wanted her very, very much to stay by his side, to use her short life to submit to him and please him.
Whenever he thought about Shen Run showing the same expression of horror and disgust as everyone else after seeing his true form, he became furious and wanted to kill someone.
But the crux of the matter is that she is a human being, and a human being with disgusting and overly high moral standards. She would probably find it difficult to accept his true nature, let alone his style of doing things.
But he was not willing to go against his instincts for the sake of a human being. He was the highest level predator, and the urge to destroy and kill was ingrained in his soul. He needed to devour a large amount of resources to restore his strength.
It was unknown how long it took before Chi Shuangliu exited the space. The 32 beads he had found were placed on the tray. He re-woven the bracelet by himself, but a few of them had fine cracks on them. Although they were not conspicuous, only the wearer could see that it could never be restored to its original state.
For the first time, Chi Shuangliu felt upset, with a sour and swollen feeling in his heart, which was disgusting.
He kept twirling and rubbing the bracelet in his hands, the speed getting faster and faster.
He heard faint voices coming from downstairs: "...I was scared to death. I thought I would die here today."
"Fuck! I finally evolved to A-level. Some institutions have shown that the lifespan of A-level psychics can be increased to over 200 years. I never expected that I would almost die at the age of 32."
Chi Shuangliu paused in fiddling with the bracelet.
Yes, the human lifespan is only a hundred years. Even if she accepted his blessing, her lifespan would not exceed three hundred years - this is long enough for humans, but for him, it is just a blink of an eye.
He didn't plan to be with her forever. He only had to endure for two or three hundred years and wait until Chen Run died before carrying out his plan. This way, he wouldn't have to go against his instincts and could fully enjoy the joy and pleasure that Chen Run brought him.
Chi Shuangliu's eyes slowly lit up.
All he had to do was to hide himself for the next two or three hundred years, play the role of a perfect lover in front of her, and ensure that she would never discover the truth until her death - this was not difficult for him.
The evil god had no sense of morality or shame like humans, and felt no guilt at all for deceiving his partner. He even felt that she should feel honored that he had suppressed his nature for two or three hundred years for her. He suddenly felt happy, and even hummed a little tune like humans, with a melodious melody flowing from his throat.
He rang the bell and called Lu Kuo in, his tone rising subtly: "I have erased the memories of everyone on this ship, and you should also watch your mouth. Nothing happened just now, understand?"
Lu Kuo was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was talking about the memory of his true self appearing... But why did he delete this memory? Was he afraid of someone knowing?
He pondered this and answered without hesitation, "I will." He added, "We're still more than ten kilometers away from where the meteorite fell. If nothing goes wrong, we'll be there tomorrow."
The rest of the journey went very smoothly. Although there were countless mutated animals and plants in the tropical rainforest, they had their own territories. Each area was occupied by the strongest and they did not interfere with each other. Chi Shuangliu successfully killed the strongest in this area. Until they found the hill-like meteorite, the expedition team did not encounter any other mutated animals and plants.
After absorbing the power of the meteorite, the main body expanded again, a row of sharp blade-like spikes grew on the back of the main body, and densely packed tiny barbs grew on the tentacles. After resolving the thorn in his heart, Chi Shuangliu felt sincerely happy about this change.
There was no signal in the tropical rainforest. As soon as Chi Shuangliu came out, he was like an internet addict. He asked Lu Kuo to spend a lot of money to get him an overseas data card, and he couldn't wait to open WeChat.
——He only had one contact in WeChat, Chen Run. He held the phone and waited for a while, but there was no notification of new messages.
Chi Shuangliu couldn't help himself and clicked into the chat box with her, and found that the chat history was from a few days ago.
"Brother Chi, have you eaten yet?" "Are you used to living abroad?" "Are things going smoothly?"
Because he was angry with her at the time, he casually replied "I'm busy and don't have time to reply to the message", but he didn't expect that Shen Run would actually stop sending him messages.
He flipped through the chat box several times, and after confirming that there was no new message, he couldn't help but snort coldly - what he wanted was not the news, but her attitude!
Due to the long distance, his current abilities were somewhat limited, and WeChat was the only tool he had to communicate with Shen Run, so Chi Shuangliu had studied WeChat thoroughly. After thinking about it, he very humanely posted a message to his friends saying he was done with his work, then exited WeChat and threw his phone aside.
The phone suddenly vibrated and a new message popped up.
He immediately rushed over and found that it was just a junk ad that popped up on a junk phone. His face turned dark.
This happened several times. Chi Shuangliu resisted the urge to crush his phone, and finally a few new messages popped up on WeChat.
The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he looked a little proud. After being reserved for two minutes, he finally opened WeChat again.
"Are you done? I have something to ask you."
"Come back when you're free."
"I'm in the town temple in Shuangliu County now."
Chi Shuangliu's pupils suddenly shrank.
