Today's test was another major failure.

As Ling Xiuqi finished speaking, a faint silver light emanated from his fingertips, gradually merging into You Yonghuai's body.

A warm sensation coursed through You Yonghuai's body, making him feel refreshed and as if all his fatigue had been swept away.

But the next second, as a strange purple pattern appeared on his forehead, he suddenly felt a piercing pain in his temple.

Blood gushed from his temple. Just as You Yonghuai was about to speak, he saw Ling Xiuqi pull out something thin and long with a forceful motion.

"Hiss~"

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a small snake covered in purple-gold scales.

【Name: Subject No. 6 (Daughter)】

[The recipient of the implant can share all of the child's senses.]

You Yonghuai couldn't believe that this thing had just been pulled out of his head.

This means that all of my information has been discovered by someone who implanted it in the mother's body!

Now it's truly a boxed-up weapon...

"Looks like it's used to pinpoint your location..." Ling Xiuqi calmly said as he placed the small snake into a wooden box engraved with mysterious patterns. "I'll try to track them back in reverse."

It's worth mentioning that the wound from which the snake was pulled out was the same spot where the gold-rimmed glasses had pierced it.

Only then did You Yonghuai realize what the "deliveryman" had intended to do by leaving behind his glasses.

"By the way, Officer Ling, I want to submit two formulas." You Yonghuai hurriedly told him about the formulas for the Fang Ring and the Demon-Slaying Nail that Si Xuanyin had given him.

Since Si Xuanyin has many exclusive formulas, why not hand over one in exchange for protection?

"You also know alchemy?" After hearing the recipe, Ling Xiuqi looked at You Yonghuai with some surprise.

"Um...I guess so," You Yonghuai replied after glancing at Si Xuanyin.

If the spirit behind him knows alchemy, then rounding down means he already knows it.

"That's a pleasant surprise." Ling Xiuqi's smile became more genuine. He took a document from his drawer and placed it on the table. "Perfect timing. I'm short of someone who knows alchemy... How about it, interested in joining the Special Operations Department?"

Originally, Ling Xiuqi only intended to use You Yonghuai as bait to lure people from that organization into a trap, but since You Yonghuai knew alchemy, things were different.

Of course, even if he is used as bait, You Yonghuai's safety will be guaranteed, but once the matter is over, the useless You Yonghuai will naturally be thrown back into his original life.

You Yonghuai picked up the contract and the first thing he looked at was the compensation:

With higher-than-average salaries and benefits for ordinary police officers, plus meal and accommodation allowances, relatively flexible work schedules, and official resource support, the frequent life-or-death crises that come with these benefits are hardly a problem for You Yonghuai.

It's as if there's no life-or-death crisis right now.

You Yonghuai wanted to sign directly, but was stopped by Li Yongqi, who forced him to read the terms of the contract.

After carefully putting away the signed contract, Ling Xiuqi asked, "According to the regulations, submitting the formula like this should earn you some reward... Is there anything you need?"

"I hope to obtain one of each of the finished products corresponding to the formula..." You Yonghuai naturally did not stand on ceremony and took the opportunity to explain his predicament, hoping to get help.

Apart from the name of his special ability, "Eye of the Evil God," You Yonghuai basically revealed everything about his situation.

Since someone already knows about my situation, one more won't make a difference.

After listening to You Yonghuai's words, Ling Xiuqi showed an expression that said, "Why do you have so many troubles, you unlucky kid?" and pondered for a long time.

"I don't know anything about the ten-sided dice either; there's no record of it in the bureau's files," Ling Xiuqi finally spoke. "But don't worry, I can assure you that the Special Operations Department will help you get rid of this misfortune."

……

By the time You Yonghuai returned to his hotel room, it was already 10 p.m.

Ling Xiuqi planned to try to track down the organization's location tonight. To do so, he bought two bottles of glass cleaner and hired Potato Chips, who was the subject of the test, to help him.

The potato chips are happy.

You Yonghuai was also very happy.

After becoming a member of the special operations department, Ling Xiuqi issued him a set of standard equipment. It didn't have any special abilities, but it was lightweight and convenient. As long as he wasn't worried about it being uncomfortable in bed, he could even wear it while sleeping.

For You Yonghuai, who faces sleep test failures every night, resulting in poor sleep, this side effect is essentially nonexistent.

I can't sleep well anyway.

In addition, to ensure the safety of department members, a bottle of special medicine is also provided in the standard equipment.

Ling Xiuqi would know as soon as the medicine bottle was opened.

As for the medicine inside, it is a drug that can stimulate potential in a short period of time, and the specific effects depend on the individual.

However, regardless of the method, the antidote must be taken within four hours of taking the medication.

Otherwise, the person would die.

Ling Xiuqi's assessment of the potion was: "If you feel you're about to be killed by the enemy, then drink it... that way you can kill yourself."

This statement contains an exaggeration, mainly to highlight the danger of the drug.

……

The next morning, after having breakfast and taking stomach medicine, You Yonghuai, seeing that there was still no news from Ling Xiuqi, decided to go to the hospital first.

According to Si Xuanyin, to destroy the node, it is necessary to change the properties of the Demon-Slaying Nail, and the material used to change the properties is Si Xuanyin's own blood.

When You Yonghuai arrived at the hospital and reached the ward where Si Xuanyin's body was, the bed was empty.

After exchanging a glance with Si Xuanyin's soul, You Yonghuai realized that the organization had taken action because Ling Xiuqi had removed the sub-body of Subject 6 last night.

They already knew that Si Xuanyin's soul was with them, and they also knew that if they wanted to break free from their misfortune, they had to come to the hospital.

Beneath the smell of disinfectant lay a faint stench of decay, and the sticky, humid air spread rapidly, enveloping You Yonghuai.

It was as if a drop of ink had fallen into clear water, and the darkness instantly spread!

A crimson, false full moon hung high in the sky, its disorienting light filling the pitch-black space and illuminating the mountains of corpses piled up all around.

"Pat-pat, pat, pat..."

A pool of blood was scattered on the ground, and footsteps came from not far away. The face that emerged from the darkness was the deliveryman who had disappeared last night.

"Welcome to my domain, Sample Zero, and the most perfect prototype."

"Are you coming with me on your own, or should I lead you?"

Without a second's hesitation, You Yonghuai immediately took out the vial of medicine from his pocket, tilted his head back, and swallowed it.

Immediately, red and blue lines, like cracks, appeared on You Yonghuai's arm.
