Bai Chunian walked around to second supervisor Jason, his elbow resting on the table, and leisurely leaned against the table while waiting for him to shuffle the cards.
During this period, the lion’s ears hidden in Bai Chunian’s hair twitched. He heard a slight clicking sound. Calmly, he glanced around at the people around him from the corner of his eye and smiled lightly at Supervisor Leleni who was sitting at the fourth seat.
Supervisor Jason drew a card with an ashen complexion. He flipped it over and threw it on the table—it was the 8 of Spades.
Bai Chunian unhurriedly used his index finger to draw the top card from the deck and put it on the table.
“How exciting.” Bai Chunian slightly raised the corner of the card with his fingernail. Supervisor Jason held his breath and stared at the card.
“Hold on.” Bai Chunian put the card back on the table, placed his elbow on Supervisor Jason’s shoulder, and bent over to ask, “How about this, let’s see what the penalty for losing is first?”
Supervisor Jason had a hot-headed temper. Bai Chunian knew him well, so he became even more lax.
Bai Chunian took out a lighter from his pocket and held the 8 of Spades card Supervisor Jason picked over the flame. The pattern on the back of the card disappeared the moment it encountered the flame, and a line of words appeared.
“Mhm… This card had two options. First option, shoot yourself in the head with a revolver. Second option, go unlock the bulletproof glass door in lab area A.”
The laboratory area was divided into ten areas, from A to J respectively. The researchers were now being locked in these ten areas of the laboratory, the first and second floor’s researchers were only a door apart from the centipede experimental subject outside.
Supervisor Jason’s forehead was covered in cold sweat. Bai Chunian slowly revealed the card he picked, the 9 of Hearts.
Seeing the number on Bai Chunian’s card, Supervisor Jason closed his eyes in resignation.
“Sorry mister, you have to make a choice.” Bai Chunian pushed the revolver toward Jason. “I think it’s better to shoot yourself, after all, the gun might not actually go off. However, if you unlock the door, your colleagues will be stuffed in the mouth of the centipede.”
Supervisor Jason firmly held the revolver Bai Chunian handed over, his index finger was on the trigger, and the barrel was placed against his head. He gritted his teeth with hesitation, his neck was flushed, and his thighs were trembling uncontrollably.
Bai Chunian stood beside him with his hands in his pockets, waiting for him to make his move.

Jason suddenly looked fierce; the muzzle of the gun turned toward Bai Chunian, and he pulled the trigger without hesitation.

He directed the gun at himself and pulled the trigger with confidence.
With a bang, the gun went off.
The other nine researchers sitting around the table were startled suddenly. When they opened their eyes again, Jason was still sitting at the table, but half of his head had been destroyed. The blood spattered on the wall and onto several researchers on his left and right.
They screamed, struggling wildly on their chairs and screaming in pain.
“Rimbaud once told me that humans will pay the price for their pride and arrogance. I hope you guys don’t underestimate my integrity.” Bai Chunian took the revolver from the pool of blood, pulled up Supervisor Jason’s clothes and wiped the blood off of it. He chuckled and said, “I said before, this is a fair game. However, he did say something correct.”
Bai Chunian shot at the ceiling, and the gunshot silenced everyone. Not a single sound could be heard in the room.
“I won’t ever lose.” Bai Chunian put the gun back on the table, then pushed the deck of cards toward the third supervisor, Jenny.
Jenny’s eyes and nose were red, and she kept sobbing. Bai Chunian took out a pack of tissues and wiped her tears and the tip of her nose. “Don’t cry anymore. I only brought one pack of tissues and I need to use it for the nine of you. I don’t think you look like a clumsy person, how can your hand slip when holding a dish?”
In the video given by Duan Yang, she was the one who put Pearl in the sterile dish and walked away from Rimbaud. The situation was captured in the video very clearly. Jenny hurriedly left the laboratory holding the sterile dish, then Rimbaud held her hand pleadingly. When she shook off Rimbaud’s hand, the dish tilted, and Pearl slipped out and fell to the ground. Several researchers hurriedly re-sterilized it. They never thought that there would be a life hidden in it. Bai Chunian believed that Pearl’s life died at that moment, and nobody could refute it.
Jenny drew a 7 of Diamonds. Bai Chunian flipped over a King of Clubs.
The moment Jenny saw the result of the flip, she wailed. Trembling, she touched the revolver on the table.
Bai Chunian suddenly held down her hand. “Who said your punishment is this?”
He picked up an incandescent light bulb from the ground, placed it in front of Jenny, and spun it with his fingertips. “Eat it…or unlock the bulletproof glass door of lab area A.”
Something like a light bulb couldn’t be easily taken out if it were to be stuffed into one’s mouth, unless it breaks in the mouth, and the falling pieces will pass through the esophagus and enter the stomach.
“You have 10 seconds to decide.” Bai Chunian glanced at the electronic clock on the wall. “If you can’t eat it, I can help you. 10, 9, 8…”
Once the number reached 0, the corner of Bai Chunian’s mouth twitched. “Stalling, aren’t you?” He picked up the light bulb and opened Jenny’s mouth.
“Unlock the door! I’ll…I’ll unlock the door…” Jenny leaned against the table in agony. She watched Bai Chunian put the light bulb back on the table in horror.
“Really? There’s a lot of people in area A, though.” Bai Chunian spoke into the intercom, “The people in area A, Supervisor Jenny has decided to give up on you guys in exchange for her own life. Don’t blame her, because if you guys were sitting here, you’d have done the same thing.”
Eris watched Bai Chunian’s killing game progress slowly from the screen and couldn’t help but look up at the area he was in. The laboratory area he was in was area F, which was not on the same floor as area A, but the situation on the next floor could be seen through the screen and glass curtain wall.
The researchers didn’t dare make a sound. Suddenly the beep sound of the door unlocking could be heard. Eris held the gun and followed the sound. Area A’s bulletproof glass door slowly opened. The researchers inside cowered in the corner and didn’t dare speak up. Others ventured out with fire extinguishers or whatever spare suppressors they could find, while the largest group was vying for a tube of fluorescent purple agent.
“What are they doing?” Eris asked.
The Puppet Master answered, “SH shielding agent. Within half an hour, the experimental subject won’t sense their smell after injection. Those in laboratory area A pretty much won’t face any dangerous experimental subjects, so they didn’t equip themselves with any lethal weapons to fight the experimental subjects. There’s only a few spare SH shielding agents.”
Eris scratched his face. “But I can still see them. Is it Sarcosuchus’ new agent?”
“This kind of shielding agent only works on experimental subjects in the cultivation stage. At the maturity stage, they’re perception no longer relies only on smell and heat.”
The centipede experimental subject wandering between the laboratory areas sensed the smell of food. It immediately corroded the floor tiles with its poisonous smoke and quickly crawled towards the experimental area where the bulletproof glass door was opened, and bit the researchers running in front. The researcher instantly turned into smoking pus and blood, which dripped into the mouth of the centipede experiment subject.
“Interesting.” Eris tiptoed down to watch the excitement, his hands also twitching a bit. “Can I join him? I think it’s fun.”
Puppet Master, “You’re not allowed to go. We absolutely can’t bump into Bai Chunian today. Crouch down, don’t get captured in the camera.”
“Tch, how boring.”
Laboratory area C was adjacent to A. Taking advantage of the centipede’s attention being attracted, several researchers began to slam the glass door of the escape exit with the firefighter axe. After a few heavy swings, the glass door shattered and the researchers swarmed out, rushing toward the escape exit.
Bai Chunian saw everything from the surveillance screen, supported his head with his hand, and lazily pressed a button on the control panel.
After pressing it, a cultivation pod near area C began counting down toward the hatch opening.
The people who had been overwhelmed by fear blocked the escape exit and smashed the door heavily with their axes. The 20-second countdown quickly passed, and the hatchet of the cultivation pod containing Experimental Subject No. 2316, “Jack the Ripper,” was announced to be open.
No. 2316 was a praying mantis experimental subject. The first number 2 represented arthropod-type gland, the middle number 3 represented a rare two-handed blade mimicry, while the last number 16 represented fighting-type ability.
Both hands of the praying mantis experimental subject resembled the two sharp blades of a mantis. It rushed towards the researchers gathered at the escape exit.
Experimental subjects with code names were generally excellent experimental subjects whose files were submitted to the headquarters of the 109 Research Institute for review. After cultivating, they will be sent to the researchers of the headquarters for selection. His strength could be imagined.
A decryption chip was pasted on the control panel beside Bai Chunian’s hand. Looking carefully, a black worm pattern could be found engraved on the chip. Although the cultivation base was only a subsidiary of the 109 Research Institute, its security protection system was still tight. At this time, the help of Crawler and Duan Yang was particularly important.
Supervisor Jenny was crying on the table. Bai Chunian left the controls satisfied and walked toward the fourth supervisor, Leleni.
After he shuffled the cards, he pushed them to Leleni. Leleni glanced at him coldly, and suddenly clasped the wrist of Bai Chunian’s hand. Hidden in his palm was a small glass needle removed from a suppressor, which contained the blue IN infection agent.
The situation turned around in a blink of an eye. A tube of infection agent was firmly pressed into Bai Chunian’s wrist by the tall and strong Supervisor Leleni.
The infection agent could kill an experimental subject in 10 seconds.
The cyanovirus mixed with hydrocyanic acid instantly flowed into Bai Chunian’s blood vessels, and the blue color spread along it. Bai Chunian’s smile froze on his face, staring at him wide eyed in surprise. He leaned on the table and slowly fell down.
“Hmph, you’re just an experimental product, yet you dare wish to replace humans?” Supervisor Leleni, with all his strength, broke free from the handcuffs that bound his hands to the table. He grabbed the revolver off the table and adjusted the bullet to the loaded position, and shot it at Bai Chunian’s neck.
Blood spattered. Director Leleni ran quickly to the controls, trying to activate the suppressors on the nape of the two released experimental subjects, but the controls didn’t work; he couldn’t control them at all. Thus, he tried to call headquarters again for help, but the entire cultivation base had been cut off from the outside world, and the signal couldn’t be sent out.
Supervisor Leleni tried to calm himself down, glanced at his colleagues frantically asking him for help. He didn’t have the keys, and he couldn’t unlock their handcuffs, so he could only run toward the door.
But when he had just touched the doorknob, he suddenly felt that his finger was pricked by a sharp needle, and he retracted his hand reflexively. His fingertip was punctured and bled, the wound stained with some residual blue agent.
The symptoms of hydrocyanic acid poisoning soon appeared on Supervisor Leleni. He grabbed his neck in pain and knelt on the ground inch by inch while holding the door.
He had a hard time breathing, and there was a voice laughing in his ears like a hallucination.
Unknowingly, Bai Chunian was crouching beside him and fiddling with the bullet that he took out from his neck. The wound on Bai Chunian’s neck slowly healed, and the blue toxin in his wrist gradually faded until it disappeared.
It was like he was being cleansed. Albeit, it was slower than Rimbaud’s cleansing.
“I never thought about replacing anyone, I’m here to teach you guys how to be human.” Bai Chunian lowered his head and closed Supervisor Leleni’s protruding eyes, his snow-white hair brushing against his stiff face. “Be careful in your next life.”
Eris witnessed the entire thing on the screen. The Puppet Master whispered, “It’s almost time. Let’s find a chance to leave here.”
Turning around inadvertently, Eris once again made eye contact with Bai Chunian on the screen.
“…Knicks…?” Eris mumbled.
“Yes?”
“I think…he saw me.”
