Bai Chunian’s body inherited a part of Rimbaud’s purification ability, but it could only keep the infection agent stuffed in the warhead from spreading in his body.
Rimbaud used his fingers to clamp Bai Chunian’s tongue, leaving his mouth slightly opened. Bai Chunian’s canine bit into his finger bone in order not to have him bite himself because of the pain. The fingers of Rimbaud’s other hand reached into the bleeding bullet hole and pinched out the bullet.
Bai Chunian’s body was tense from the pain. He stood stiffly and tightly clenched Rimbaud’s knuckles uncontrollably.
“It’s been taken out. It won’t hurt anymore.” Rimbaud’s finger had two holes from the canine, leading blood to seep out and dripping on Bai Chunian’s clamped tongue. The blood mixed with the transparent saliva and trickled down the corner of his mouth, which couldn’t be closed.
“It doesn’t hurt anymore; it’s all good now,” Rimbaud coaxed softly, yet his fingers once again went into the bleeding bullet hole and slightly bent, scraping out the infectious toxins remaining in the flesh and blood.
The unbearable pain made Bai Chunian tremble; his eyes were bloodshot, and tears leaked out of his eyes involuntarily, causing his vision to be blurry.
“Okay, it’s been cleaned.” Rimbaud pulled out his fingers one last time, took out a roll of medical bandage from his equipment bag, wrapped it around Bai Chunian a few times, and waited for the wound to heal.
“Fuck…that was stimulating; it hurt like hell.” Bai Chunian was exhausted, and he leaned his head against the hollow of his shoulder, and all his body weight fell on Rimbaud. He breathed weakly and slowly regained strength.
Rimbaud held Bai Chunian with his left hand to prevent him from falling down the hanging beam. He lightly patted his back and released soothing pheromones to comfort him. He then noticed that Bai Chunian’s blood was still on his right hand.
He raised his right hand and held it up in front to inspect; the bright red blood flowed from his fingertips to his palm, spreading fine lines on his snow-white skin, forming an abstract art.

Rimbaud licked clean the last bloodstain on his fingers and answered honestly, “I’m making love with your soul.” There was an aftertaste of excitement in his tone.
“…Huh…?” Bai Chunian sat up tiredly and yawned lazily. His canine stuck out and was then covered by thin lips. He glanced sideways at the warhead in Rimbaud’s hand. The special warhead was engraved with patterns and ravines. Concentrated infection agents were compressed in these ravines.
“What are you still doing with a broken warhead? Throw it away.”
“No. I will give it back to her as is. I’ll take out a gun if she can’t be defeated. She can’t play with me.” Rimbaud put the bullet in his belly button. At first glance, it looked like a shiny belly stud.
Bai Chunian knew Rimbaud’s character of holding grudges the best. Before, he would take revenge on the spot, but it was different now. Although he looked calm on the surface, there was fierceness in his eyes.
“Enough, wife, don’t be mad anymore. Your brows are twisted into knots.” Bai Chunian raised a hand and rested it on his neck, drawing Rimbaud in for a kiss, kissing his ear. Rimbaud was pleased, and his ears turned into long, pointed, translucent blue-fin ears. They slowly turned red and curled up, while the tip of his fin comfortably curled into a heart shape.
“Get up, let’s go down to check.” Bai Chunian moved his waist; the bullet wound was mostly healed, so it was no issue to support himself and stand up.
Rimbaud descended by climbing down around the elevator cable. Bai Chunian jumped between the horizontal bars to buffer, climbing down nimbly.
The elevator shaft was very deep; it would take at least one or two hundred feet to the bottom. The elevator crashed to the bottom. Rimbaud didn’t see anything else until it hit rock bottom.
Bai Chunian held a flashlight in his mouth. When he landed, he shined it around. He discovered that there were some traces of fighting between the horizontal bars. Judging from the form, it was left by the silver scissor the Sacred Wind-Up Key transformed into.
He lowered his head to check and found that a small puddle had formed on one of the horizontal bars.
Bai Chunian carefully ripped off a section of the medical bandage and placed it on top of the clear liquid.
The bandage corroded, blackened due to carbonization, and a big hole was formed from the burn.
It was concentrated sulfuric acid.
“Oh.” Bai Chunian hit the bar with regret and remorse. “Earlier, Eris stuffed a bottle of concentrated sulfuric acid in Puppet Master’s apron pocket. They’re lucky they didn’t end up like this. They should’ve died along with it.”
“I saw you gave that ragdoll a synthesis booster injection.”
“I did, but he jumped too fast, so I didn’t see the result.” Bai Chunian took out the injection tube with only two-thirds of it left and examined it. “Do you think this is real or fake?”
“Give it to me.” Rimbaud took the tube and pushed it into his neck, injecting half the red liquid into his body. His purification ability was far stronger than the effects of drugs manufactured by humans. Even if it was a lethal poison, it wouldn’t do him any harm.
After a while, Rimbaud looked at him with certainty. “In any case, it’s not poison.”
“Not poison…” Bai Chunian thought about it. If it was a drug left by Aileen, there was no reason to leave a real synthesis booster for them and six of them at that. He sniffed the needle; there was a faint smell of pheromones on it. It was a bit familiar, but it was too faint to recall.
“If I were Aileen and wanted to watch the excitement, why didn’t I just leave one of them and watch people fight over it? It would be best if it was poison, so the person who wins would die from injecting it—how very dramatic. To leave as many as six tubes though… we would have reached a consensus on the spot, with each person taking three. Wouldn’t that be more likely?” Bai Chunian was a little confused.
Suddenly, Bai Chunian sat straight. “Was that a video being played on the computer? Aileen pre-recorded it and had it automatically start playing when it detected us. That should be it… We didn’t talk with her at the time.”
“She said the Devil Envoy didn’t come with us… She must have seen Black Panther already.” Bai Chunian sniffed the needle again. The faint anemone pheromone was caught by his sensitive sense of smell, and he compared it with the scent of Black Panther in his memories.
His closest contact with Black Panther was near the breeding base in Red Fox City. Black Panther arrived to break up the fight between him and Eris and used his A3 ability, The Devil’s Whisper, to stop him from killing Eris.
At the time, they were drenched in the heavy rain, and the rainwater evoked the smell of dust, which covered up Black Panther’s pheromones. However, thinking about it from his memories, it seemed the scent on his body was similar to the scent on the injection.
Anemone pheromones.
Bai Chunian weighed the injection needle in his hand. “Did Black Panther leave these for us? He came here before.”
Rimbaud also came closer to smell it and thoughtfully came to a conclusion. “Sure enough, the kitty is just lovable.
“If what was shown on the computer was a video, then Aileen must not be where she was; she’s just misleading us to go deeper. There’s probably a trap waiting for us.” Bai Chunian put away the synthesis booster and raised his head to look above; the exit above was guarded by heavy machine guns. The way they came from was also blocked by the flames and he didn’t know if they had been extinguished yet. However, he could imagine that the temperature must be so high that Rimbaud couldn’t stand it.
“Let’s just go ahead. We’ll look around as we go. If it gets too hard to deal with, wife, just flood this shitty research institute. Who’s scared of who?” Bai Chunian held the flashlight and walked forward. He reached a hand behind his back and spread out his palm.
Rimbaud put his hand in his palm and was immediately held by Xiao Bai. It was like touching a warm sea anemone.
No matter how many times they held hands, waves surged in Rimbaud’s heart every time his hand was held firmly. The heart of sea life was connected to Rimbaud’s chest, so every hurricane and tsunami that rose on the earth’s seas was God’s heartbeat at work.
“Xiao Bai, I…”
Bai Chunian turned around and looked at him. “Hm?”
Rimbaud was taken aback by his bent, patient eyes, and after thinking about it for a long time, he earnestly said, “I want to take you on a tour of the territory, touring all over the world.”
Bai Chunian laughed. “That’s called traveling around the world, silly wife.”
Rimbaud shook his head, thinking that what he said wasn’t accurate enough.
“I want to introduce you to my ancient friends and to every sea slug.”
Scheduled on the wrong date 🫠 will have 245 out soon, hopefully aksjsjdka
Thank You for the new chapter ♡❤⃛ヾ(๑❛ ▿ ◠๑ )
I am a bit confused about that Pearl discovery and Aileens video comment. Did she meant him or another A3? And are his appearance in the City and this body in HQ two different identities, which are not linked? I really hope they not to have to fight their baby 😱😭. Damned Aileen – I wish you get what you deserve soon.
