The snake, who had a keen sense of hearing, spun around furiously and immediately abandoned the Ghost Hunting Team who’d attracted his attention.

Medusa’s Eyes’ gland differentiation had reached M2-grade. For each grade, it would randomly obtain a differentiation ability that matched their biological characteristics. The higher the grade, the stronger the differentiation ability obtained.

The smell of berry pheromones in the air grew more and more intense as Medusa’s Eyes became more and more agitated. He summoned his two floating eyes back to his eye sockets, then ripped off the medical gauze. The pupils on his golden eyes were dark and full of aggression. He gathered the power in his entire body into his glands and with no regard of the consequences, activated his M2 differentiation ability, Swamp.

All of a sudden, the hard ground melted into a swamp. The people standing on it sank uncontrollably into the swamp. BW79wf

Everything that could be grabbed and climbed on turned into mud. The participants could only watch as they sunk into the muddy earth, sinking quicker than a true swamp. They would certainly suffocate and die if their mouths and noses went below the earth. The crowd couldn’t think much about the second monster that appeared here.

Lu Yan repeatedly used Cunning Rabbit’s Cave to shuttle through the various floors, but it was futile. Medusa’s Eyes’ M2 ability encompassed a huge range; all the floor became a muddy swamp, turning the entire Building B to a melted state. WMbJx9

Medusa’s Eyes glanced down at the turbulent waves and his lips arched into a contemptuous smirk. Get rid of these little things obstructing his way first.

He gently shook the tip of his tail. There was a golden hollow scale at the end of the dark brown snake’s tail. The scale armor shook and rustled as the snake raised his jaw slightly, his attention falling onto Lu Yan, who was struggling to shuttle through the floors.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Medusa’s Eyes’ associated ability, “Rattle Tail”, could randomly force a target to resonate with him.

Lu Yan’s body suddenly stiffened, and his mind was filled with noises of fingernails scratching against a blackboard that had been amplified countless times. All of his nerves from his head to his limbs were numb in an instant, and after the brief numbness, he could feel searing agony as if shrapnels were bursting inside his body. Sc 8va

The omega’s delicate body fell to the ground. Lu Yan curled up into a ball and tightly covered his mouth to stifle his scream, then his body slowly sank on the muddy ground.

Just before Lu Yan was about to die from suffocation by the muddy ground blocking his mouth and nose, his body suddenly became lighter, as if something was holding him up under him. He opened his eyes with difficulty and found several intersecting black vines, weaving into a web of vines from underneath to support him.

By the time he opened his eyes, the entire ten-story building was covered with densely intersecting black vines, like an airtight bird cage.

The tip of the black vines wrapped around Bi Lanxing’s waist, lifting him up into the air and then brought him down with a swoop like a zipline. Bi Lanxing held the Uzi submachine gun with both hands and shot Medusa’s Eyes’s left eye from above. A5TDeW

With the Uzi’s super high shooting speed and extremely strong melee ability, combined with Bi Lanxing’s glide from the sky, Medusa’s Eyes was caught off guard. One of his eyes was blown out, and he retreated in pain covering his bleeding eye socket. The swampification of the entire building immediately stopped.

The Poison Ivy Armor’s M2 differentiation ability, Thorns of the Tree of Life: An offensive and defensive instant ability that could quickly spawn poisonous vines in a limited space, densely covering up the space.

The husky alpha ploughed the ground with effort. He pulled his feet out of the ground, looked up towards the sky, and whistled towards He Suowei. “Ge, look at that little poisonous grass, it’s actually M2 differentiation. So awesome oh, didn’t even have the slightest intention to hide it. No wonder they’re called Casually Playing, this team is full of big bosses ah.” fy2GTS

He Suowei made a ‘silence’ gesture to him.

The bell-bird and the spittlebug omegas who were hiding in the corner looked at each other strangely. They muttered in low voices and shrank back into the rubbles.

The vines wove into a cradle and sent Lu Yan’s huddled body to Bi Lanxing. Bi Lanxing turned deaf ear to the whispers around him. He reached out and touched Lu Yan’s trembling rabbit ears and quietly released pheromones to soothe him.

“Differentiating into second grade at such a young age… Can you still go out alive?” The snake slowly recovered and held onto the ground. The floating eyes guarding him from the sides, forbidding others to approach. When the shattered eye socket was restored, the snake raised his hand to pick one floating eye from the air, then placed it back into the restored eye socket, and it turned up intact. Cza0kb

Medusa’s Eyes controlled several floating eyes. He plunged them into the water to search for the disappearing merman and Bai Chunian.

When Bai Chunian fell into the sea, the salty cold water rushed over his head and into his nostrils, nearly forcing his eyes to open. He then felt a smooth, soft, and chilly creatures stroking on his body.

Bai Chunian forced himself to open his eyes.

Small jellyfish swarmed in clusters in front of him, flashing blue lights. They floated and swirled in the blue water. The smallest was only the size of a fingernail. And like an obedient mushroom, it pierced into Bai Chunian’s palm that was clenching weakly. 68gKEn

His gaze followed the blue jellyfish’s path and he saw a blonde merman swimming towards him with his tail surrounded by blue electricity. When the tip of his tail swept the sea water, a series of bubbles of different sizes appeared, and the bubbles immediately turned into blue-colored jellyfish full of life, wandering along with the current.

The scene surprised Bai Chunian so much that he forgot his survival instinct, until he felt a pair of cold human arms embracing him from behind. Rimbaud led him to swim upwards quickly. The water pressure on Bai Chunian’s body gradually lessened. As his head broke through the water, oxygen came back to him.

Rimbaud pushed him onto the reef. Half of his body was submerged in the water, while his bandaged upper body was covered in a black bulletproof team uniform. The sharp and graceful lines of his arms were widely exposed, and the leather bands were tucked over his shoulders, exposing his thin and narrow waist.

Bai Chunian forgot to cough for a moment. His gaze stuck on the merman’s exposed smooth belly that made him excited—cold pale skin wrapped around the explosive muscles within, rising and falling along as he breathed. A0esaC

Rimbaud propped his hands on the reef, raising half of his body out of the water. He leaned his lips close to Bai Chunian’s face and kissed the corner of his eyes before leaning to Bai Chunian’s ears, saying, “I hope we can stay like this for a little longer.”

Bai Chunian had never heard Rimbaud speak the human language so clearly. The unintentional sexiness of this clear and steely voice whispering in his ears made him unable to resist.

“I’ve always wanted to tell you that I’ve lived for a long time and in my eyes at the time, you looked a white kitten who still needed to be fed, cuddled, and soothed, but I couldn’t find a common expression of ‘age’ in our language.”

“Do you know why the snake was here? You went out to train the morning of that one day, and were brought back at night with a broken forearm and rib, your hand crushed and even your glands were injured… The researcher told me guiltily that they put you in the same eco-box as the snake because they were eager to let you fight the powerful ones. I know that snake enjoys torturing his prey.” mgQxei

“…That night, you kept groaning in pain. When I touched your face, you were still trembling even in your sleep.”

“So I killed him, and I only left his brain intact.” Out of regret, the researchers left the brain and copied the neural data. They sold it to the 109 Research Institute to recover the monetary loss, where the snake’s consciousness would experience being infinitely abused to death by various experimental subjects.

“That’s what I want him to suffer from.”

Bai Chunian froze dumbstruck on the reef. Rimbaud’s voice was so clear that he couldn’t quickly associate him with the fish that he was familiar with. F8DIrv

Rimbaud’s sapphire eyes were too clear and beautiful, while his lips were as pink as jelly, and his blonde hair paired with his pale cold skin made him look like a delicate little angel, leading Bai Chunian to think that he was just a young fish cub that had only broke from its shell not long ago. During those days when they were together, Bai Chunian went crazy and forced Rimbaud, while for the rest of the time it was like taking care of a baby. Every night when the milk was brought in, he’d feed it to the little fish lying on the quilt.

While the two of them were talking, a floating eye rushed in between them and suddenly directed its gaze at Bai Chunian. However, before the eye could move, a slender hand mercilessly squeezed it with long fins to a handful of bloody foam.

Rimbaud washed his hands with the seawater with slightly furrowed brows. “He’s as disgusting as always. He still thinks he’s alive.”

Medusa’s Eyes had already spotted their trail and swooped down the outer edge of the building. But Rimbaud didn’t let him build up his strength and unleash his powers. He dove deep into the water, turning into a bolt of blue lightning underwater, then suddenly rushed out of the sea, rising up to almost eight meters high in the air. The cyan blood vessels in the translucent fishtail burst out, then lightning flashed meanderingly. cSOl1d

He gathered the seawater in his hands, then the transparent water immediately solidified into an extremely hard material, forming two transparent Browning Auto-5 shotguns. The merman’s gaze was cold as his two hands firing two rounds of transparent shrapnels one after another, simultaneously hitting Medusa’s Eyes’ left chest on the upper body and his tail on the lower half. The shrapnels exploded the two hearts and countless sharp water droplets burst the snake’s body from the air into a sieve.

Manta Ray’s gland associated ability, Steel Hydration: ability forcibly compress water molecules to form a dense arrangement of atoms of various elements similar to that found in weapons steel. Achieving the repeated phase changes of austenite and martensite, referred to as hydrated steel. The handheld weapons were formed from hydrated steel.

The sky plunged into silence, then the electronic sound finally sounded.

【Casually Playing】Rimbaud eliminated Experiment No. 1513 TOP9hg

At the end of the exam, the candidates were asked to take a five-minute break to wait for the data to be tallied and for their teammates to be revived and woken up.

The transparent weapon in Rimbaud’s hand melted back into the water after a brief burst of power and fell back into the sea. Rimbaud himself lost support and fell down from a height of almost eight meters.

Bai Chunian jumped into the sea and swam as fast as he could. He reached out his arms to catch Rimbaud the moment the merman fell into the sea, saving the merman from the impact of falling into the water from high altitude, then the two of them sunk into the deep sea together.

The sea engulfed their bodies. Bai Chunian hugged Rimbaud tightly, pecked the corner of his lips, then kissed the omega.

Rimbaud wrapped his tail around him in response, then raised his hand to tilt Bai Chunian’s face and made Bai Chunian look straight into his eyes. With raised eyebrows, he asked,

“What kind of temper are you throwing at me these days? Are you holding a grudge? I exhausted my pheromones to feed you to maturity and took the trouble to get you out of prison, and it turns out you’ve been holding a grudge against me all these years?

“You did grow up fast. You’re so talented, and your level is high enough that no one can bully you now… So, is this the reason why you insult me and resent me in turn? 2eG9wB

“Well, then go on and hold your grudge against me. Unless you don’t plan to fuck me again for the rest of your life.”

“This is my retaliation. You have to know how your attitude hurts me.”

Rimbaud raised his right hand. The water swirled, converged into his palms, forming into a transparent hydrated steel Desert Eagle Pistol, and then he aimed at Bai Chunian’s heart and pulled the trigger without any hesitation.

From the bullet wound, blood sprayed out into a shape of fan in the water. The health bar in his chest emptied again, but the test was over and no more elimination was broadcast. JQaR0s

Bai Chunian’s eyes bent into crescents, then he slowly raised his hand through the mist of blood and touched Rimbaud’s face.

Rimbaud carried Bai Chunian’s body and swam towards the surface, as groups of jellyfish flashing blue lights and sharks attracted by the blood chased after him.
