Peng Liuliu treated An very well, almost unusually so. Not only did she grant An's every request, but she also prepared a variety of meals for An every day, making it arguably the best food in the base, if not the best. Xiang Wan, on the other hand, was just a miserable bystander.
Every time someone delivered food, it was placed directly on the food counter by the door. The aroma was so enticing that even smelling through the crack in the door made one's mouth water. An went to get her food alone, passing by Xiang Wan. Xiang Wan, with great pride, didn't even glance at the food, but as An passed by, her stomach rumbled loudly, instantly ruining the image of a strong, independent woman she had painstakingly cultivated, and her face burned with embarrassment.
An didn't even glance at her, as if all the embarrassment was just something Xiang Wan had imagined.
No, if she starves to death because she's too shy, not only will the system laugh at her, but she herself will despise herself.
So, Xiang Wan walked over to An's side, standing straight and dignified, if you ignored the way she kept looking at the food and the way she was swallowing.
"Want some?"
An spoke up for the first time, and Xiang Wan nodded unconsciously. She strongly suspected that the original owner of this body hadn't eaten anything before and after being captured by Peng Liuliu's people, which was why she was now so hungry she was seeing stars. Before, her attention was focused on how to survive, and she had neglected her stomach. Now, smelling the aroma and seeing the food, Xiang Wan felt like she could devour a cow.
"One meal, one piece of meat."
Huh? Giving me a meal, and even a piece of meat? What's going on? Xiang Wan never believed that the villain would be so kind, so she hesitated.
If you don't answer within three seconds, you won't get a single meal from now on.
"I agree!"
No matter what, it's better than starving to death.
An chuckled, pushed her plate toward Xiang Wan, and just stared at her.
Feeling pressured by being watched as she ate his leftovers, Xiang Wan suddenly felt no longer hungry.
"If there's only one left, chop off a finger."
My scalp tingled; even if it were poison, I'd probably have no choice but to swallow it.
With the attitude of "the bold get rich, the timid starve," Xiang Wan wolfed down her meal as if it were her death, almost choking to death. This action must have touched a nerve with An, because he actually patted Xiang Wan's head, a rare occurrence for him, and said "good girl."
Xiang Wan turned her head in a daze, and An suddenly smiled, looking very pleased.
It wasn't until she went to bed that night that Xiang Wan suddenly understood what the villain really meant: because she was obedient and acted completely harmless, the villain was very satisfied!
Suddenly realizing the truth, Xiang Wan burst into tears: Since she was already satisfied, why was she assigned a corner of the laboratory to live in? Even if she didn't live in his bedroom, she could have stayed as a guard. It would be better than waking up to find dismembered bodies everywhere...
The truth is, Xiang Wan has now been successfully promoted to An's experimental subject. She was woken up early in the morning and was about to cut a piece of her flesh with a knife.
"One meal, one piece of meat!"
Xiang Wan was furious. No wonder there was no meat in yesterday's meal; it turned out he was waiting for her here. He hadn't explained clearly, and Xiang Wan expressed her dissatisfaction, glaring at him with strong resistance.
"Good boy, resistance is the most useless excuse."
An was not worried about Xiang Wan's actions at all. His eyelids were slightly narrowed, and his long, narrow eyes showed the excitement of seeing prey. This made Xiang Wan instinctively feel that something was wrong. The next second, she obediently stretched out her arm and let him cut it.
An paused, a fleeting look of disappointment crossing her face, as if what Xiang Wan had just seen was merely an illusion.
Indeed, when dealing with such people, unless you are absolutely certain of victory, the only option is to be patient and wait for the right opportunity.
The cold blade scraped against her arm, bit by bit. Pain surged through her, her whole body trembled, but Xiang Wan gritted her teeth and endured it. An's hand moved unhurriedly, making Xiang Wan tremble with pain little by little, without speeding up even an inch. His eyes were filled with madness, and his pupils were somewhat red.
This is abnormal! Such a person is like a bloodthirsty beast, utterly devoid of reason. While supporting her left arm with her right hand, Xiang Wan pressed acupoints to stop the bleeding and then applied numbing agents to temporarily block out the pain. She grabbed An's hand, forcefully sliced off a piece of flesh, and placed it on the tray.
An was furious, her eyes blazing with anger, but the red ring around her neck had disappeared. Xiang Wan quickly covered her left arm, lowering her eyes to hide her unusual color.
"Experimental subjects should act like experimental subjects. If they do it again, they're dead!"
Xiang Wan nodded obediently, which calmed the villain down a bit.
"Bandage yourself."
After saying that, the villain took the things and left. Xiang Wan quickly returned to her den and lay down against the wall.
If she hadn't pushed him away, he probably would have had to be cut again. Because when she transmigrated, she just happened to arrive just as the original owner's superpower was about to awaken. Her soul entered the body and disrupted the original trajectory of the superpower, turning it into a self-healing ability that could regenerate as long as the user didn't die. You could say that this ability, apart from being suitable for harvesting organs from living bodies, is practically useless.
Think about it, if a zombie apocalypse occurs and everyone is starving, she would become a renewable source of human flesh. What wouldn't she do to survive? Judging from Xiang Wan's current situation, she's the perfect candidate to provide fresh flesh for the villains' experiments. She's practically indestructible!
What kind of useless superpower is this? It's completely useless. How come something that never happened in the book happened to her?
"Host, calm down. Everyone has their own unique talents..."
"A system that acts like a quail has no right to speak! Get out of here, let me cry silently for a while."
Why should she be treated so unfairly? Why should her superpowers only serve him? Since she can't fight back now, she'll at least annoy him. She'll make him act mysterious all day long (never taking off his mask), make him psychologically twisted (harming innocent animals, especially her, Xiang Wan), make him not eat (only giving him leftovers), and make him spout nonsense (threatening someone). To deplete his energy, she'll start with his food!
That day, someone brought food over. Xiang Wan knew she shouldn't join in the fun, so she took the zombie entrails she had previously dissected and pretended to put them in a bottle. The stench traveled for miles, but it didn't affect An's appetite at all. Xiang Wan strongly suspected that this person had blocked their sense of smell, otherwise they wouldn't have had no reaction at all.
Later, Xiang Wan experimented many more times, using not only zombie organs but also the flesh and blood of various mutated animals, but naturally, none of it worked. Frustrated, Xiang Wan momentarily lost focus and cut off a piece of her own flesh. Just then, An brought in the food. From afar, An frowned, slammed the plate on the table, said "Eat quickly," and ran away.
She inexplicably got a meal, and Xiang Wan successfully prepared it many times until one day, An said to her seriously, "That's enough flesh and blood. Don't cut things randomly, it smells too bad."
Xiang Wan: ...So, in the villain's eyes, she's not even as interesting as a zombie. She'll endure it, and one day he'll find her, who smells so bad, quite appealing!
