My organs are too abstract.

"what!"

The students were terrified and screamed as they scattered and fled.

"How did it get here?" Li Chuan appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was filled with astonishment and doubt. "Could it teleport?"

They checked the surroundings repeatedly before entering the classroom, and didn't notice anything unusual even when closing the door. Even while talking to the students, they remained vigilant, with Zhou Wenyu keeping a close watch on the door the entire time. How did the vengeful infant get in?

"Whatever, it's good that it's here. We can take care of it now."

Zhou Wenyu stared intently at the vengeful infant on the ceiling, a purple line slowly spreading down his left cheek.

"Be careful! It's too powerful; we can't handle it!" the bespectacled boy hurriedly warned, and the other students also showed expressions of despair.

"Don't worry," Zhou Wenyu said calmly.

His illness endowed him with strength and physique far beyond that of ordinary people. Although the vengeful infant was fast, its power was nothing to him.

Thinking of this, Zhou Wenyu felt that this was a sure thing, and he beckoned to the vengeful infant with a contemptuous gesture.

"Eeya—!"

The vengeful infant seemed to be completely enraged. It suddenly gripped the ceiling with its limbs, and its withered, bluish-black body blurred and disappeared in an instant.

Zhou Wenyu's vision blurred, and he instantly lost track of the other party. Even though he couldn't see the location of the vengeful infant, the purple markings on his face suddenly flashed like warning lights, and his body instinctively issued a frantic warning.

"Behind you!"

Zhou Wenyu let out a low shout, turned around abruptly, and unleashed a powerful punch that had been fully charged!

"Hit!"

The sensation of his fist striking a solid object filled him with joy, but the next moment, he realized something was wrong.

The opponent's power... is wrong!

His pupils contracted sharply as he saw the vengeful infant's feet firmly pressed against the wall, its withered little hands gripping his wrists tightly, immobilizing his entire arm.

How come this power is so much stronger than before?

"What happened?"

Li Chuan also noticed the anomaly, staring at the scene before him in disbelief. He knew Zhou Wenyu's strength very well; normally, he should have been more than capable of crushing the vengeful infant. How could they be locked in a stalemate?

Before anyone could ponder this, the vengeful infant's lips curled into a sinister smile. Its legs, which were bracing against the wall, suddenly exerted force, and its withered body shot out like a cannonball, slamming hard into Zhou Wenyu's chest.

"Bang—"

A dull, loud bang exploded.

Zhou Wenyu was hit hard as if by a speeding truck. His body flew backward, knocking over several rows of tables and chairs before crashing heavily to the ground.

The vengeful infant flashed back to the ceiling, tilted its head slightly, and fixed its dark and cold eyes on the fallen Zhou Wenyu, as if mocking him silently.

"Cough cough..."

A strange flush flashed across Zhou Wenyu's face, and the purple markings on his left cheek flickered, as if he was trying to relieve the force he was experiencing, before fading slightly.

Pei Yan rushed over to help Zhou Wenyu up, while Li Chuan gripped the bone club tightly, his expression solemn as he stood in front of the two.

"Brother Li... its power has suddenly increased a lot," Zhou Wenyu said weakly.

"This thing is really weird! It's definitely much stronger than before!"

Li Chuan's expression was extremely solemn. He casually pulled out a chicken leg from the air and handed it to Zhou Wenyu, his eyes remaining warily fixed on the vengeful infant on the ceiling.

"whee……"

The vengeful infant emitted a cold and eerie laugh, its figure appearing and disappearing on the ceiling, changing position several times in just a few seconds, its movements completely unpredictable.

Zhou Wenyu frowned and swallowed the chicken leg in a few bites, his pale face quickly regaining its rosy hue.

Looking at the vengeful infant that was still defiantly displaying its speed, he said in a deep voice, "No, it's too fast and its strength far exceeds our expectations. We might really not be able to hold on."

Li Chuan asked, "What if I were to bless you?"

His condition allows him to freely extract different chicken legs, store them in his own special dimension, and gain various special effects after eating them.

Zhou Wenyu quickly assessed the situation in his mind for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's still very difficult."

Li Chuan's heart sank.

His special chicken leg has two main effects: healing and enhancement. However, the enhancement effect is not very significant. Since Zhou Wenyu said so, it means that even with full support, he is still no match for the vengeful infant.

Seeing the vengeful infant arch its body again, preparing to launch another surprise attack, Zhou Wenyu sighed softly and reached into his waistband to pull out a pistol.

"Would a gun be effective against it?" Pei Yan was taken aback. She had heard people say before that ordinary, worldly weapons were ineffective against calamities.

"A regular handgun definitely won't do, but mine is different."

As Zhou Wenyu spoke, he aimed the gun at the vengeful infant without hesitation and pulled the trigger sharply—

This shot didn't produce a deafening gunshot; instead, with a "hiss," a thin stream of water gushed from the muzzle, splashing directly onto the infant's face.

Even in such a tense and thrilling moment, the students in the classroom were still stunned by the operation.

"Playing with toys at a time like this?!" Shen Jiahao hid behind the table, his face full of disbelief.

"Ahhhhh—"

However, this seemingly comical stream of water, when it landed on the face of the vengeful infant, instantly caused it to let out a mournful wail, fall from the ceiling to the ground, and convulse in pain while covering its face.

"Now!"

Li Chuan immediately stepped forward, grabbing a bone club to beat the drowning dog. Pei Yan also seized the opportunity, her fingertips twitching slightly, and a cluster of sparks flew towards the vengeful infant.

Just then, the vengeful infant suddenly stopped struggling, and with a mournful scream, it turned into a blue shadow and disappeared, barely dodging the bone club and the bluish-black flames.

"Whoosh—"

Almost in the blink of an eye, the vengeful infant appeared in front of Pei Yan.

Before she could react, the other person's rotting, hideous face was inches away, almost touching her nose.

Pei Yan's mind went blank, but then she heard Zhou Wenyu's calm voice: "Still trying to ambush me?"

Zhou Wenyu could only barely see the figure of the vengeful infant, but he was unhurried. He raised his hand, roughly aimed, and casually fired a shot.

The water burst through the air, and seemingly realizing that its shot was not accurate, it adjusted its trajectory and followed the vengeful infant.

Sensing the threat, the vengeful infant disregarded its attack on Pei Yan and moved to try to repeat its previous tactic.

However, its body blurred for a moment, then quickly reappeared, enveloped by an invisible force that made it feel as if it were stuck in mud, unable to move.

A glistening jet of water then slowly followed and precisely struck it.

"Whoa—!!!"

Where the water touched, wisps of smoke rose, and the vengeful infant let out a heart-wrenching wail.

It thrashed about, breaking free from its invisible restraints, and, covered in water stains and wounds, dashed out of the classroom and disappeared into the dimly lit corridor.

The students in the classroom stared blankly at the scene, only snapping out of their daze after a long while.

"That monster... got away?"

"We...we survived?"

"Great! We survived!"

The students hugged each other, overjoyed.

Zhou Wenyu reluctantly put away his pistol, shaking his head and sighing, "Sigh, I've used up some of the You Shui, and there aren't many left to use."

Pei Yan hesitated before speaking, "Brother Zhou, your gun..."

Meeting her questioning gaze, Zhou Wenyu explained, "This gun itself isn't anything special. As for the liquid inside, I call it 'Phantom Water,' a byproduct of some monstrous device, and it's extremely rare to obtain. It's a pity there aren't many left, otherwise I would have already made it look good..."

Li Chuan didn't interrupt, but walked straight up to Shen Jiahao and asked coldly, "Did you say something just now?"

Shen Jiahao had been pecking at them from behind, so he didn't dare say anything more and could only pretend to be clueless, saying, "No...no..."

Li Chuan glanced at him, then turned to the short-haired girl beside him: "You say it."

Shen Jiahao glared fiercely at the girl, but she ignored him. Now that things had come to this, how could she not see who the hope of escape lay with?

He immediately spoke up without any hesitation: "He said that with you guys making so much noise, that thing might just jump out from somewhere."

Were you very scared at the time?

"Yes, I was already panicking, and he deliberately said these scary things." The short-haired girl glared angrily at Shen Jiahao. "And his jinx is really accurate; I'm genuinely afraid he'll continue..."

Li Chuan's expression hardened: "A jinx? What happened?"

……

Meanwhile, on the other side, Zhou Wenyu was talking with several students.

"Big brother, with your gun, aren't we invincible?" A chubby boy looked at Zhou Wenyu with admiration. "If that thing comes any closer, will we never have to be afraid of it again?"

"It's not that simple," Zhou Wenyu shook his head. "This stuff only works on the sick and calamities. For ordinary people and objects, it's no different from tap water. Luckily, the vengeful infant isn't very smart. If it were, it could just grab something to block it, and the ghostly water would be completely ruined."

Although the chubby boy didn't understand the exact words "patient" and "calamity," he grasped the general meaning. Hearing this, he cautiously looked around, saying carefully, "Brother, what if it hears you saying that?"

Zhou Wenyu subconsciously shook his head: "Impossible, the vengeful infant has low intelligence and acts entirely on instinct..."

He was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly realized that this vengeful infant seemed a little different, and a sense of worry crept in. His tone became hesitant: "Hmm, probably not. Vengeful infants aren't very intelligent; they only act on instinct..."

The chubby boy was stunned: "You just said 'impossible'."

"Don't worry, most calamities act on instinct, not intelligence." Seeing the others' tension, Zhou Wenyu smiled reassuringly. "Besides, it can't possibly find a way to armor itself and come back for a comeback..."

On the other side, Li Chuan seemed to realize something, his expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly interrupted, "Xiao Zhou, don't speak!"

"what?"

Zhou Wenyu was stunned. Just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed. A rustling crawling sound came from outside the corridor, getting closer and closer.

Everyone's hearts tightened, and they all turned around to look. They saw that the vengeful infant had returned and reappeared at the door, then darted into the classroom in a few steps.

"Holy crap, no way..."

Zhou Wenyu stared incredulously at the vengeful infant before him. What struck him as unbelievable was not just the infant's return, but its current appearance.

The vengeful infant found a stainless steel bowl from somewhere and put it on its head. Two holes were poked in the bowl, revealing dark eyes. Thick tape was wrapped around its chest, and several heavy textbooks were used to protect its torso. Its limbs were wrapped in layers of newspaper, making it look fully armed.

"...You son of a bitch." Zhou Wenyu was dumbfounded.

Everyone first looked at the vengeful infant in shock, and then they all looked at Zhou Wenyu with the eyes of someone looking at a god.

The chubby boy muttered to himself, "Brother, you're just like Shen Jiahao, a jinx."

Li Chuan silently turned his head to look at Zhou Wenyu and said quietly, "You should talk less when you're on a mission in the future."

After saying that, he took a step forward with a solemn expression and said no more.

Zhou Wenyu seemed to realize something, his expression tightening: "Brother Zhang, are we going to use that move?"

"Well, there's nothing we can do." Li Chuan nodded solemnly and gently pulled his hand out of the air.

"Could it be that there's a backup plan?"

Shen Jiahao had already fallen into despair, but when he saw that Li Chuan seemed to be about to use his ultimate move, his hope was rekindled. He stared at Li Chuan's movements with wide eyes and great anticipation.

Zhou Wenyu's expression changed drastically, and he pulled Pei Yan back repeatedly, shouting, "Let's go!!!"

The crowd looked on in surprise and uncertainty, but Li Chuan made a clenching motion in the air and took out not a bone club, but a tempting braised chicken leg.

"What...what is this?"

Everyone looked at each other, their faces full of confusion.

The next instant, an extreme stench suddenly filled the classroom, so strong that it almost solidified into a tangible substance, pungent, putrid, and nauseating.

Shen Jiahao, who had been full of anticipation, was horrified by the sudden stench so strong that he couldn't open his eyes and staggered back, letting out a scream: "Boohoo! There's a biological weapon!"

"vomit--"

The others couldn't resist either, and they all gagged. Strangely, the vengeful infant's gaze suddenly locked onto the chicken leg, and it kept twitching its nose, as if it were the most precious delicacy in the world.

"it works."

Amidst the sounds of retching filling the air, Li Chuan remained unfazed.

The chicken legs he draws through his abilities don't all have edible healing or amplifying effects. Occasionally, he draws those with special effects, like the one in his hand, which, although incredibly smelly, has a strong attraction to calamities.

The bone club he used earlier was actually the bone left over after eating a special chicken leg, which he used as a weapon.

Li Chuan remained expressionless, picked up the stinky chicken leg, quickly ran to the stairwell, and threw it down through the gap in the handrail.

The vengeful infant followed closely behind, its gaze fixed on the chicken leg. Without hesitation, it followed and ran wildly down the stairs.

"vomit……"

Zhou Wenyu finally recovered and walked over, leaning against the wall, his face pale and full of resentment: "Brother Li, couldn't you have waited until I was a little further away before using this thing?"

"Xiao Zhou, you're one of the veterans in the bureau. Don't you understand that opportunities on the battlefield are fleeting? If you wait until you're further away to use them, it might not be too late."

He paused, then added seriously, "Besides, I also think this stuff stinks. If you all run away, won't I be the only one suffering?"

"..."

Zhou Wenyu's expression immediately turned as ugly as if he had eaten shit.

"This thing can only distract it temporarily; it won't last long." Li Chuan's expression instantly turned serious.

Zhou Wenyu nodded solemnly: "We still have no chance of winning. This vengeful infant is far more bizarre than we imagined."

"No." Li Chuan stroked his chin thoughtfully. "Perhaps the problem isn't the vengeful infant, but this place itself."

Just then, he noticed Zhou Wenyu looking at him with a conflicted expression, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Brother Li..." Zhou Wenyu pointed to the hand that was touching his chin, and said in a strange tone, "You just touched that thing, did you wash your hands?"

"..."

Li Chuan froze on the spot, his expression instantly becoming even uglier than if he had eaten two mouthfuls of excrement.
