Make me leave the team? My beast girl and I can win easily.

Jiangbei District, Wujiang City.

Among a cluster of low-rise bungalows, a towering glass curtain wall building stands out like a crane among chickens.

This is the headquarters building of "Imori Mitsuishi" Pharmaceutical Group, a multinational corporation from Japan.

As a globally renowned pharmaceutical manufacturer, "Imori Mitsuishi" has an annual turnover of tens of billions of yen.

It is said that the amount of medicine they sell each year, if laid end to end, could circle the entire planet Earth.

This building, hundreds of meters tall, is a testament to their formidable strength.

The building has three underground floors.

The heavy alloy door requires multiple verifications to pass.

Every ten meters along both sides of the corridor, there is a security guard with an expressionless face.

At the end of the heavily guarded passageway is a large laboratory covering more than 500 square meters.

At this moment, Cai Zhiqi was standing respectfully next to a middle-aged man wearing a white lab coat.

He had already changed out of the camouflage jacket.

He was wearing a silver-gray uniform with an "Imori Mitsuishi" employee badge pinned to his chest.

The middle-aged man looked to be around fifty years old, thin, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and his hair was neatly combed.

He was standing with his hands behind his back, observing the scene in the laboratory through his glasses.

This person was the contact for Cai Zhiqi, this "secret agent," and also the number two figure in the Sakura Country Special Operations Team, Kusano Jiro.

They were surrounded by a dense array of metal cages.

The larger ones are the size of an SUV, while the smaller ones are only the size of a suitcase.

Each cage contained several magical beasts: Ironback Boar, Swift Fox, Windblade Wolf, Water Serpent...

There are even quite a few flying monsters.

The entire laboratory was filled with the roars and howls of various magical beasts.

These were all acquired by the "Jingsen" Group from various supernatural ability trading markets in Wujiang City under the guise of "developing new drugs".

In just a few days, they almost emptied the entire market's inventory.

"Major," Cai Zhiqi reported in a low voice, "I have found a prodigy from China named Lin Yu..."

"His squad has been broken through one after another..."

"They will surely become the empire's greatest enemy in the future..."

"...Zhang Tian displayed strong feelings of jealousy and resentment..."

He recounted how he brainwashed Zhang Tian at the bar.

Kusano Jiro nodded slightly, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes behind his glasses.

"How long is it expected to take?" His voice was calm, with a scholarly gentleness.

But for some reason, it always makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

"In three days at most," Cai Zhiqi said confidently, "Lin Yu... will completely disappear from this world."

"Very good." Kusano Jiro patted Cai Zhiqi on the shoulder. "You did a good job. The Empire needs loyal men like you."

Cai Zhiqi immediately straightened his back: "I pledge my loyalty to the Empire!"

Kusano Jiro smiled, a smile that held a deeper meaning: "To reward your loyalty, I'll give you a good show."

He turned and walked deeper into the laboratory.

Cai Zhiqi quickly followed.

The two walked through rows of cages to the deepest part of the laboratory. It was even colder and darker here, where a particularly huge metal cage was placed.

The cage has thick alloy bars on all four sides, and the top and bottom are completely enclosed.

"Major, this is..." Cai Zhiqi asked, somewhat puzzled.

Kusano Jiro did not answer, but instead waved to one of the experimenters next to him.

He was a man in his thirties, wearing glasses, and looked quite ordinary.

He was carrying a slightly smaller cage, inside which was a "Red-scaled Rabbit"—

This is a common low-level magical beast with a level cap of only 15, and its entire body is covered in red scales.

Because of their relatively docile nature, they are usually used as laboratory animals.

"Open it," said Jiro Kusano.

The researchers opened the small cage, reached inside, grabbed the red-scaled rabbit by the ear, and pulled it out.

The red-scaled rabbit struggled, its four short legs kicking wildly in the air, but to no avail.

Kusano Jiro picked up a syringe from the lab table next to him.

The syringe contained a dark red, viscous liquid that shimmered eerily under the light.

Kusano Jiro arranged for this experimenter to inject the red-scaled rabbit with the drug.

They opened the iron door of the cage and threw the red-scaled rabbit inside.

Just as the researchers were about to close the door—

Suddenly, Kusano Jiro reached out and shoved the experimenter into the cage!

"Ah!" The experimenter was caught off guard and fell in.

"Clang!"

Kusano Jiro quickly closed the cage door and locked it from the outside.

"Mr. Kusano, what are you trying to do!" The experimenter got up from the ground and looked at Kusano Jiro outside the cage with a puzzled expression.

At that moment, the red-scaled rabbit on the other end of the cage had already fallen to the ground.

It trembled violently, foamed at the mouth, and the muscles beneath its red scales twitched unnaturally.

The scales on its back were stretched open, and flesh and blood gushed out, then quickly hardened, forming hideous bone spurs and fleshy growths.

In just a few seconds, the originally somewhat adorable Red Scaled Rabbit swelled to twice its size, transforming into a monster covered in bone spurs and with twisted muscles!

"Zhang-san." Kusano Jiro stood outside the cage, a sinister smile on his face. "Yesterday, when you secretly used the communication device to report to the Dragon Kingdom's officials..."

"Your colleague already found out and told me."

The experimenter's expression changed.

"Now, please experience for yourself just how beautiful my 'Berserk Potion' is!"

Kusano Jiro's voice carried a morbid excitement.

"So you found out." The researchers' expressions, however, calmed down.

He took a deep breath and pulled a small knife from his inner pocket.

The blade is only the length of a palm and looks like an ordinary scalpel.

But in this situation, it was his only weapon.

He was just an ordinary lab technician with little combat ability.

Facing such a mutated, berserk monster, the odds are against them.

My legs trembled uncontrollably due to a physiological reaction.

But he gripped the knife tightly and charged toward the Crimson-Scaled Rabbit.

Kusano Jiro, standing outside the cage, was stunned.

His smile froze on his face.

Five seconds later, the experimenter's carotid artery was ruptured by the red-phosphorus rabbit, and bright red blood gushed out.

The knife in his hand was completely embedded in the head of the Red-Scaled Rabbit!

He slowly fell backward, sliding down the cage wall to sit on the ground.

Blood was still gushing from his neck; his life was slipping away rapidly.

But he simply raised his head and looked at Kusano Jiro outside the cage.

A contemptuous smile played on his face.

Kusano Jiro stared blankly at the scene.

A few seconds later, he suddenly clutched his head and let out a painful roar:

"Why...why isn't he scared at all!"

"He should kneel down and beg for mercy!"

"They should have been torn apart piece by piece by the Crimson-Scaled Rabbit amidst cries and despair!"

"This is not beautiful!"

"It's so ugly!"

His voice was frantic and distorted, completely devoid of his previous scholarly demeanor.

His gold-rimmed glasses had slipped down to the tip of his nose, his hair was disheveled, and his expression was ferocious.

Cai Zhiqi stood to the side and swallowed hard.

To be honest, he felt that this "Major" was in a very abnormal mental state.

Kusano Jiro suddenly turned around, grabbed Cai Zhiqi by the collar, and pulled him in front of him.

Their faces were almost touching.

Kusano Jiro's bloodshot eyes were fixed on Cai Zhiqi:

"This potion is really powerful, isn't it?"

"It can make monsters go berserk, increasing their aggression by 200% and reducing their pain perception by 80%..."

"Isn't it amazing?"

Tell me quickly!

Cai Zhiqi, suppressing his discomfort, answered in a trembling voice:

"Major...Major, this potion is indeed very powerful!"

Kusano Jiro stared at him for a few seconds, then slowly released his grip.

He took a few deep breaths, tidied his messy hair, and pushed his glasses back into place.

"I'm sorry, I lost my temper," Kusano Jiro said calmly, his tone somewhat apologetic. "Sometimes, I get a little emotional when I see those imperfect experiments."

Cai Zhiqi quickly shook his head: "It's...it's alright, Major."

"Let's get back to the main topic."

"The production of 'Berserk Agent' requires the secret acquisition of raw materials from the black market while ensuring the group's normal operations."

"The progress is going smoothly so far. It will take about 25 more days to produce enough quantities."

"Then... we'll be able to witness the beautiful sight of these Chinese people desperately struggling before the berserk monsters!"

He looked at Cai Zhiqi, his eyes lighting up again: "Before that, you must complete the setup of all three abyss nodes you are responsible for!"

"Not one can be left behind!"

Cai Zhiqi immediately straightened up, his expression serious: "Major, rest assured, I will live up to your expectations!"

"Very good." Kusano Jiro nodded, a smile appearing on his face. "The Colonel will arrive in Takee City next month."

"He will personally oversee the launch of Project Amaterasu."

He patted Cai Zhiqi on the shoulder: "Do your best then. The Empire will not forget your contributions."

"Yes!" A glint of fanaticism flashed in Cai Zhiqi's eyes.
