When the monster fell, Ji Dong’s entire right arm was still stuck in its head while one of his thighs was firmly clutched by the Skeleton Monster’s claws. It was impossible for him to break free. He fell from a height of more than ten meters along with the Skeleton Monster and hit the ground.
His internal organs were partially shifted, caused by the enormous impact when he landed on his back; he had trouble recovering his breath. Stars were circling before him, and then his vision went completely black. Ji Dong had fainted.
Ji Xiao’niao didn’t know how long he had been unconscious. Anyway, when he returned to consciousness, he felt that his upper body was excruciatingly painful. However, he didn’t even feel any sensation below his waist.
——Holy shit! This familiar recipe has a familiar taste!
His whole body jolted him awake. The original drowsy consciousness became alert. His eyes suddenly widened.
Ji Dong found himself lying on Ren Jianmo’s thigh; his right arm was in pain, but he couldn’t feel his lower limbs at all.
This injury was very similar to when he suffered from the maglev rail car accident. But seeing Ren Jianmo, Ji Xiao’niao was sure that he wasn’t having a lucid dream about the [Peach Blossom Spring] and its gruesome and deadly plays. He wasn’t lucky enough to fall back to his original time and space.
“You’re hurt, and it’s very serious.”
Ren Jianmo said to him.
“Don’t move around.”
Ji Dong surmised that the monster’s bone claws had injured his spine, or that his falling position was wrong. He collapsed on his back, suffering from spinal cord shock. In any case, his doomed old waist wouldn’t be able to move on its own before they returned to the [Peach Blossom Spring].
Thinking of this, Ji Dong endured the sharp pain and stretched his right arm to see the extent of his injury.
But when he looked at it, he wanted to close his eyes and faint again.
The sleeves of the white corset overalls that Ji Dong was wearing had been torn, and the exposed skin was covered with numerous assorted pieces of glass. The wounds were crisscrossed and his flesh was exposed and covered with sticky gray-white lumps that looked like the brain tissue of the monster.
In a nutshell, if you wanted to understand the words “flesh and bone” figuratively, look at his arm to know.
“Hey…”
Ji Dong curbed the urge to vomit as well as the revulsion he felt, moving his lips with difficulty, “This… this ironically has to be contagious, right?”
He looked at Ren Jianmo with a heavy heart.
“Unless this [Film] can come to an end right now, I’ll mutate before we can return, right?”
Ren Jianmo touched the hair on Ji Dong’s forehead.
The short curly hair was stained with a strand from the monster’s brain tissue, and the tactile sensation Ren Jianmo felt was particularly hard to describe.
“Don’t be afraid, you’ll be fine.”
He said with certainty.
“That’s right!”
Mo Tiangen’s loud voice interjected at the right time.
He still maintained his massive figure, similar to an enormous ape with a dark body and a height of nearly three meters.
Apparently, when he was being chased and intercepted by the monster, Mr. Dagen accidentally exerted excessive force, causing the only piece of fabric left on his body to unfortunately be torn into shreds. He could only squeeze his legs bitterly—like a woman with foot binding in ancient times—and twisted his legs while he moved forward in small steps.
Ji Xiao’niao looked at Teacher Dagen’s dilemma and couldn’t help but find it comical while in agony, quietly laughing at him.

“Take an injection and you won’t be infected.”
He said while patting his chest, “Personally tested its efficiency!”
Ji Dong actually wanted to say that: “I don’t want to be infected. I also don’t quite want to become like you—a blackened version of Hulk.”
But he was in a life or death situation, he could only obediently stretch out his still intact left arm and let Teacher Dagen inject him with the vaccine.
During the injection, Ji Dong also paid attention to the vaccine box that Mo Tiangen brought.
It was a portable freezer box divided into nine compartments, and it was already empty of three sticks; the fourth one having just been used on his body.
Ji Dong guessed that the two extra doses consumed were probably because Mr. Dagen was afraid that the vaccine wouldn’t work, so he took two more injections just to be on the safe side. As a result, he gave himself a supernatural ability and turned into a blackened version of the Hulk.
After the crisis of infection was relieved, Ji Dong breathed a sigh of relief and thought of another important problem.
“What’s the situation now?”
He turned his neck and tried to look around, “Where is that monster? And that kid Su Lin, is he…”
“The monster is dead.”
Mo Tiangen sniffed and moved a step away towards the side.
“As for the child… He can also be considered dead, probably.”
Ji Dong stretched his neck with difficulty and looked behind Mr. Dagen.
He saw Annie kneeling beside the Skeleton Monster and the figure of a child lying on her knee.
“What do you mean by ‘probably dead’?”
Ji Xiao’niao originally thought that the child was affected by the small explosion he had caused and died of serious injury.
But at first glance, although Su Lin’s body was covered with dirty brain tissue, there wasn’t much blood. If we talk about external injuries, it was certainly much lighter than his arm… Could it be internal injuries? Such as a concussion caused by the explosion or something?
“I’ve checked. The brat’s heartbeat and breathing have stopped.”
Mo Tiangen shrugged, “But it was weird, when I shone a flashlight into his eyes…”
He paused as if trying to think of a more apt description, “Although his eyes were like black glass beads, when the flashlight was shone on them, you can see the pupils shrink a little.”
Teacher Dagen dubiously added.
“Of course, I’m not a doctor. Maybe I didn’t do the light reflection check correctly.”
Ji Dong listened and tugged on Ren Jianmo’s sleeve with his remaining able hand.
“I want to see that child…”
Mo Tiangen shook his head disapprovingly, “He is dead…”
But Ji Dong was especially persistent.
So Mr. Dagen tried his best to negotiate with Annie—who was currently devastated—and then took Su Lin’s “body” over.
Ji Dong extended his right hand with difficulty, which was riddled with holes from the glass shards. Gently, he touched the child’s head with his palm that was stained with blood and brain tissue.
The moment he touched Su Lin’s body, two opposing consciousnesses immediately flooded into his mind.
This feeling was much weaker than the powerful spiritual force he felt when he thrusted his hand into the monster’s brain; it was like a mountainous tsunami. Contrary, this time, it was almost subtle and had inaudible fluctuations like the wings of a butterfly.
But he could hear the voices of the two opposing consciousnesses.
One of them was saying that it didn’t want to die, while the other seemed to be begging them to take Annie out of here.
“Su Lin’s consciousness isn’t completely gone!”
Ji Dong raised his voice.
“As long as the parasite inside him can be extracted, there’s a possibility that he can still be saved!!!”
Except for himself, the other three people present couldn’t understand exactly what Ji Dong was saying.
But as soon as Annie heard that there might be hope for the child, tears immediately fell down her face, begging them one after the other to help her adopted son.
Mo Tiangen was extremely troubled that his head started to hurt.
After he had easily figured out the relationship between Su Lin and the “King”, as well as the “Judas Tears” and the “Moon God Stone”, he slapped his thighs and came up with a broken idea.
“Didn’t you say that that thing couldn’t be parasitized in a human body with a certain concentration from the ‘Moon God Stone’?”
He said while he brought the frozen box containing the vaccine over.
“Anyway, the vaccine is the active ingredient extracted from the Moon God Stone. Why don’t we give it a try by giving him a shot!”
The first injection went down, but the child didn’t respond.
But Mo Tiangen was a ruthless person who even dared to pierce himself thrice in a row. Of course, he wouldn’t be stingy even if it was treating an irremediable case.
He injected the second and third vaccines, but the child still looked like a corpse, immobile.
But when Ji Dong touched his forehead again, he felt that the two opposing thoughts seemed to be doing their last, frantic struggle.
Fourth shot.
Fifth shot.
The vaccine case was emptied, and the little boy’s thin arm was neatly lined with a row of five plum-shaped needle marks.
In the next second, Su Lin was like a drowning man who had struggled back from death, suddenly spitting out a stream of pitch-black mucus from his mouth and nose.
Everyone saw that among the mucus he spat out, there was a black worm about the length of a knuckle finger. It was attempting to crawl in the distance, arch by arch.
Unfortunately, its speed was painfully slow. How could it successfully escape when it was in everyone’s plain sight?
Teacher Dagen lifted his big black foot, which was 40 centimeters long, stomping it to a pulp.
At this point, the little boy who had vomited up all the black mucus slowly propped up his upper body from the ground and opened his eyes. The two eyeballs had changed back to their normal black and white appearance.
Annie immediately pounced over and swept the child tightly into her arms.
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”
Su Lin finally burst into tears.
“You idiot, you idiot! Why did you come here?! You almost died, you know! I almost got you killed, you know!”
He cried as he pounded his hands on Annie’s back:
“I wanted to tell you not to approach me, but I couldn’t speak. I couldn’t open my mouth!”
In a childish voice, Su Lin cried.
“Why can’t you understand! Why didn’t you just hide yourself? Why are you so stupid?”
Annie hugged the little boy to death. While crying, she replied through gritted teeth:
“Yes, I’m stupid, but I’m here to save you! I couldn’t leave you alone, you little brat!”
Having just returned from the dead, the child was crying so hard he could hardly breathe.
He hiccuped and choked out intermittently.
“Who do you think you are to take care of me?! You aren’t even my real mother!”
Hearing the profound indebtedness from her adopted son’s reply, Annie didn’t get angry. Instead, her tears only fell even harder.
“Yes, I am not your real mother, what can you do about it?!”
She clasped the little boy into a deadly embrace.
“But I’ve always wanted to be your mommy!”
——————-
Ji Dong, Ren Jianmo, Mo Tiangen, and the pair of mother and son, Annie and Su Lin, found a safe place in the Research Institute and stayed there until dawn the next day.
In fact, after taking out the parasitic “King” from the child, the hands on the watches of Ji Dong and the others returned from the blood-like bright red to the green marker, representing safety.
However, to be on the safe side, they waited until the sun came up before leaving the Research Institute.
Ji Dong and the others went directly to the uppermost floor through the elevator of the A1 area, swiped their door cards in the emergency evacuation exit, and left the Research Institute.
Subsequently, the process of crossing through the woods was also very smooth; not even a monster was encountered along the way.
Mo Tiangen—after gaining his powers and turning into a muscular man nearly three meters tall—wasn’t only able to easily carry Ji Xiao’niao on an N km cross-country, but also helped him carry a wheelchair. All the way to a place where he felt safe was enough to put Ji Dong down.
About two hours later, five people stood unharmed in front of the transparent film of light.
The progress bar on the watches of the three ‘participants’ was about to reach the end of the line.
“Thank you.”
Before preparing to leave the light film envelope, the little boy that was being held in Annie’s arms thanked the three. He also stretched out his short arms, bending down with difficulty, and barely hugged Ji Dong—who was sitting in the wheelchair.
Feeling the weight and temperature of the child on his shoulders, Ji Dong slightly trembled.
But he didn’t say anything; he only used the uninjured hand to pat on Su Lin’s back.
“Okay, then let’s ‘go out‘.”
Teacher Dagen said in a double entendre.
The five of them passed through the film of light that separated the two ‘worlds’ together.
