Although Lu Shangjin’s ability to weaken was strong, the effect only lasted a brief moment. This high consumption ability could not be continuously used. There needed to be a cooling period between two usages. Only someone who possessed high-speed mobility, an attacker with extreme speed as an advantage, could perfectly match with him. They would be able to seize the rhythm of each momentary weakening, confront the enemy endlessly, and then withdraw from the enemy’s attack range when the weakening wore off.
This kind of high difficulty level cooperation needed years of tacit understanding as a basis, to the point that no matter what the grade and how strong the opponent was, they would be suppressed and beaten painfully when facing both of them at the same time.
Eternal Undead was the same. The overall strength gap between an experimental subject in the deterioration stage and that of S4 advanced humans could be overlooked, but there was a sniper rifle in the distance that could use bullets to limit his movements at any time, which had been weakening his differentiation ability and eliminating his associated ability. Every time his ability disappeared, Yan Yi would seize the brief opportunity to appear in front of him immediately.
Eternal Undead was dazzled by the opponent’s instantaneous teleportation and high-speed bouncing shadow. A wound or bullet hole would appear on him from time to time. If he didn’t originally have a strong vitality, he would have been killed by Yan Yi long ago.
Yan Yi was also observing Eternal Undead’s movements. Although Eternal Undead had no chance to fight back due to their restriction, his healing ability was incredibly strong. Yan Yi wasn’t able to deal a fatal blow to him. He was in an awkward situation where he couldn’t stand him yet was unable to kill him.
Eternal Undead lost his patience, pulled off the white cloth on his head, and draped it over the floating pearl following him. He whispered, “Come out, I would like to see if that peregrine falcon can only weaken one person.”
However, the pearl did not respond to his call, nor appeared fully mimicry.
Eternal Undead lifted a corner of the cloth in bemusement. “Hey, are you deaf?”
The dull and rough pearl reluctantly spat a few bubbles into his hand. Long strip of bubbles formed into two rows of words, “Don’t summon me, I can’t defeat them.”
Eternal Undead jumped with anger.
Another weakening struck. Yan Yi suddenly appeared behind him, his left hand quickly grasped his jaw, while his right hand held an uzi. He pressed it against Eternal Undead’s waist and fired. A bunch of bullets were fired, and black smoke came out of the bullet holes in Eternal Undead’s abdomen.
The weakening disappeared. Eternal Undead turned around and swayed to the ground. However, his lower backbone was shattered by a bullet, and he snapped in half, and drifted in a weird and frightening folded and paralyzed posture. He opened up Pandora’s Magical Mirror under his feet. The ghost hands from within the mirror charged in Yan Yi’s direction and greedily grabbed at him. Yan Yi tapped the ground with his toes and jumped to avoid it. A ghost hand stretched out and grabbed Yan Yi’s ankle. In an instant, it was accurately hit by a sniper bullet and blown up.
In the distance, Lu Shangjin was quietly dormant at the sniper point, expressionlessly observing the two people confronting each other on the rooftop of the bell tower through the sniper scope. Time passed by, his clothes were soaked by the drizzle and moisture, and the water flowed down his neck, but he remained motionless. His fingertips that were resting on the trigger did not tremble at all. Yan Yi’s every move was under his scope, and he could see everything clearly under the crosshair.
Eternal Undead also could see that the current situation wasn’t in his favor. His twisted body made a bone cracking sound; his shattered backbone grew and healed bit by bit. He straightened back up, turned his head, and looked at Yan Yi with lifeless eyes. The corner of his lips raised high, and his raised voice sounded sickly and distorted. “Is it fun to waste time with me? Turn around and look.”
A loud tremor followed. Yan Yi turned to look; the tower at the distance seemed to have snapped. He frowned and looked around. In the distant fog, the outlines of many gray-white experimental subjects appeared, wreaking havoc in the city.
“Why are you doing this?” Yan Yi raised his gun and pointed at Eternal Undead’s head.

Seeing Yan Yi’s complexion change, it was like Eternal Undead witnessed a happy comedy—he laughed maniacally. “The longer I stay here, the more undead gather. If this city falls, you must take responsibility.”
Yan Yi knew he couldn’t drag it out any longer. His gaze wandered on Eternal Undead, looking for a weakness. The incident happened unexpectedly, so they came out in a hurry and didn’t prepare all the equipment. He and Lu Shangjin didn’t have communicators with them, he could only use the slight movement of his pupils to hint at him.
A change in his eyes could also be clearly captured by Lu Shangjin’s Extreme Vision. Lu Shangjin calmly stared at him through the scope. He moved the muzzle of the gun slightly in the direction of Yan Yi’s line of sight. The crosshair was raised above Eternal Undead’s left shoulder, and Lu Shangjin’s index finger lightly pressed on the trigger.
A sniper bullet tore through the air and flew past, accurately calculating the position and movements of Eternal Undead. Just as Eternal Undead dodged sideways, it passed through the school bag hanging on his shoulder. The strap tore off and the bag was flung off of him.
Yan Yi moved forward in a flash among the ghost hands that were as dense as seaweed, and grabbed the schoolbag before Eternal Undead could reach out. Eternal Undead used his only remaining hand to grab the other strap of the school bag and snatched it. The zipper snapped, and the contents inside, a 5-3 College Entrance Examination exercise book, scratch paper, markers and a tube of synthesis booster injection, were all scattered around in a mess.
Eternal Undead grabbed the marker, while the injection fell into Yan Yi’s hand.
Eternal Undead was angry, yelling at him, “Give it back to me!”
Yan Yi weighed the injection in his hand. “Put on a suppressor first, then come to me to get it.”
Yan Yi slowly retreated to the edge of the rooftop and lightly jumped. When he was falling, a bird’s shadow passed under him, and took him away in the air.
Lu Shangjin held the heavy rifle, flapped his powerful wings, and took Yan Yi toward the black clouds that covered the sun. Yan Yi sat on Lu Shangjin’s shoulders, his legs dangling, and he stared at Eternal Undead coldly.

Screams of pain would come out of Dr. Han’s villa from time to time.
Rimbaud was straddling Bai Chunian’s waist, he clenched his hands tightly and his eyes lit up with blue light. The alpha whose teeth became sharp was twisting crazily.
“Randi, stop moving. Wake up.”
Bai Chunian’s hands were tied behind his back and pressed down tightly, his bones emitted a cracking sound, and the Dead Sea Heart rock chained to the foot of the bed made a loud clunking sound.
The starlight coming from the crack of the window curtains reflected on Bai Chunian’s sweat drenched face, which looked even more in pain and pale, and his damp hair stuck to his forehead.
After a period of restlessness, Bai Chunian weakly laid on the bed. He kneeled and hunched over, his head buried between his knees, and breathed with his mouth slightly opened. The chains cuffed around his neck and wrists left bloody marks on his skin, the blood dripping down his arms, and dirtied the newly changed bed sheets.
Rimbaud also tiredly leaned beside him. He used his fingertip to push aside the hair sticking to his forehead, held his cheeks, and released soothing pheromones to comfort him.
Bai Chunian lied down on one side with difficulty, and brought Rimbaud into his embrace and patted him. “My good wife’s elbow was scratched by me, right? I’m sorry.”
“I’m fine. Does it still hurt?” Rimbaud’s arm had a dozen bloody fingernail scratch marks. It wasn’t a big deal, it would be fine in a bit.
“Pain, go away.” Bai Chunian pecked his lips. “I’ll go take a shower then come back to sleep.”
Rimbaud unlocked his chains, watched as he slowly got up and staggered to the bedroom’s bathroom while supporting the wall.
This can’t go on any longer. Rimbaud clenched the bed sheet, and cleaned the areas drenched by sweat.
He thought silently, but he used up too much strength today and unconsciously fell asleep.
Rimbaud didn’t know how long he slept, but he was awakened by a rustling sound beside the bed. He opened one eye and glanced down—he saw Bai Chunian sitting on the ground with his back against him. He was holding something in his hands and focused on it.
Rimbaud didn’t make a sound, but continued watching him with eyes half opened.
Bai Chunian’s hands were quietly trembling due to his weak state and intense pain. His action of piecing together something was very slow, as well as sluggish. It was completely different from his former sharp and flexible self.
He was casting a square animal cage with the Dead Sea heart rock, then stood up while holding on to the bed. He searched for a T-shirt worn by Rimbaud beside the bed and went into the animal cage with it. He used the Dead Sea heart rock to open the cage from the inside. After sealing the cage door, he lay down on the floor tiredly with Rimbaud’s shirt in his arms, curled up in the crowded and small cage, lowered his head and silently inhaled the remaining pheromones in the clothes and fell asleep.
Rimbaud kept looking at him.
After a long time, Rimbaud propped up from the bed. Xiao Bai, who was sleeping in the cage, suddenly perked his white velvet ears. He raised his head and looked at him sleepily and muddle-headed.
Rimbaud held onto the narrow cage, sat down at the edge of the bed, and lowered his head to look at him. “What are you doing?”
Bai Chunian froze, then sat up with his back against the cage and forced a smile. “I’m scared that I’ll act up again in the middle of the night and wake you up.” He murmured softly, “…and it keeps happening. No matter how good-tempered you are, you would be annoyed by now.”
Rimbaud raised his hand to take back the Dead Sea heart rock; the flowing jet-black crystals scattered instantly and flowed to the side. The cage Bai Chunian was leaning on disappeared, and unable to support his body, he fell back, but was caught by Rimbaud.
Rimbaud grew a pair of legs, grabbed Xiao Bai’s hair to force him to raise his head and come closer to him. He leaned over his cheek and whispered, “You can bite me apart, I’m not scared of pain. I’ll hit you when I get angry, but I won’t abandon you.”
Bai Chunian took a breath. He turned over while half kneeling, his nose was red, and he threw himself into Rimbaud’s arms. Unable to restrain himself, Bai Chunian kissed Rimbaud’s chest and stomach. He kept calling his name muffly—pressing against him, smelling, licking and kissing him.
Rimbaud rubbed his back indulgently.

The next morning, Han Xingqian arrived a bit late.
Like before, it was Rimbaud who opened the door for him. Han Xingqian carried a portable incubator, his expression a bit serious.
Rimbaud’s expression also turned serious. “What’s the matter?”
“Let’s go upstairs to talk.”
They walked up the wooden spiraling stairs. Rimbaud opened the bedroom door, a pair of will-o’-the-wisp blue eyes rushed towards him, making Han Xingqian take a step back in surprise.
Bai Chunian suddenly stopped—he was firmly held back by the chains around his neck and wrists, struggling to touch Rimbaud. The restraint chains on his body were yanked with a rattling sound, and his crazy and ferocious appearance was no different from that of a blood-thirsty beast.
But Rimbaud was already used to it. He went over and took Xiao Bai into his arms, and stroked him in comfort.
Xiao Bai calmed down, burying himself in the crook of Rimbaud’s neck and whimpering. Han Xingqian saw the opportunity and pressed Bai Chunian to the floor, then injected a dissociative agent.
After resting for half an hour, Bai Chunian regained consciousness and a bit of strength, and was able to sit up without any support.
“Han-ge, what’s up?” Bai Chunian rubbed his face, trying his best to remain conscious.
Han Xingqian looked at both of them, then lightly sighed. “There’s one good news and one bad one. Which one do you guys want to hear first?”
Bai Chunian scratched his head. “The bad news.”
Rimbaud stared at him closely. “I don’t want to hear the bad one.”
Han Xingqian shook his head. “The bad news is that Eternal Undead’s summoned entities are wreaking havoc, so the International Conference was postponed indefinitely.”
Rimbaud’s face visibly became gloomy. The sound of his gnashing teeth could be heard from a few feet away.
Bai Chunian was still calm. He had a feeling that things won’t go as smoothly as planned. He was grateful enough for the IOA devoting resources to treat him. He was now a near-obsolete weapon, and his life had little remaining value left.
“The good news is that the president ordered an agent to bring this back overnight.” Han Xingqian brought the incubator in front of them, flipped the switch, and the lid slowly opened.
Inside was a synthesis booster injection.
Next to the injection gun was a note written in pen with graceful and elegant handwriting. It was left inside by the president.
“I’m instructing Xiao Bai to use this injection without any mental burden. We’ll deal with the other matters.”
