A god-tier fishing spot, anglers lined up to give me money.

After sending Chen Zilu away, Yang Qi took a deep breath and walked towards the shore.

As you walk, spread your thoughts out.

From the surface, we ventured deep into the bottom, and after finding no alligator gar, we finally dispersed into the underwater world.

A world of water and sea.

Yang Qi's thoughts condensed into a small figure, and then he saw it.

On the surface of the giant lake, a large number of fish carcasses floated.

The water quality has also become oily, and the once crystal-clear deep water area is now even more turbid, like a pot of soup that has been stirred up.

All around, large clumps of minced meat and scales, along with limbs and debris, floated in the air.

The lakebed was littered with the remains of fish, including large fish weighing 100 pounds, carp weighing 200 pounds, and grass carp weighing 300 pounds.

At this moment, some were left with only half a body, some had their abdominal cavities torn open and their internal organs spilling out, and some even had their skulls shattered.

Fish scales of all sizes covered the lake bottom, mixed with dark red blood mud and pieces of internal organs, making it look like a slaughterhouse.

Yang Qi's anger flared up instantly. He clenched his fist and quickly scanned the lake with his mind, searching for the source of all this.

Then he sensed it.

In a murky area in the middle of the water column, an alligator gar weighing about 150 kilograms is chasing a group of whitebait.

It has a long snout, a spindle-shaped body, and dark gray scales that resemble armor plates. Its tail fin swings rapidly as it dashes towards the school of fish.

The group of whitebait were forced to the vicinity of the lake wall and scattered in panic. The alligator gar chose one of the larger ones.

With a snap of its snout, its sharp teeth pierced the white stripe's abdomen, and with a suck, the white stripe vanished, a mist of blood gushing from its cheeks.

"Damn it, where did it come from?"

Yang Qi cursed inwardly and suppressed the attack with his mind without any hesitation.

The 150-pound alligator gar was pinned down so tightly that it couldn't even lift its head.

Yang Qi pinned the alligator gar to the bottom of the lake and continued to scan the surrounding area with his mind.

The second one appeared in a patch of aquatic plants on the west side of the lake. It was larger than the first one, weighing a little over 200 jin (approximately 100 catties).

Yang Qi suppressed him.

Soon, a third one was discovered, larger in size, weighing about 250 pounds, with a swollen abdomen, clearly having just finished eating.

Yang Qi suppressed his anger again, frowning as he roared, "Damn it, how many are there?"

Yang Qi continued to expand the scanning range with his mind, probing deeper into the middle of the lake.

The fourth shadow appeared in the deepest dark water area, but this one was completely different from the previous three.

The outline that appeared in his perception was larger than the previous three combined, with a body length of nearly 6 meters, and dark golden scales reflecting an unusual light in the deep water.

Just as I saw it, I had finished a hunt.

The grass carp's body was bitten through, its tail drooped limply, and dark red blood gushed from the wound.

If you only kill but don't eat, you'll quickly lose interest and prepare to hunt the next target.

"You beast, it seems you are the real culprit."

Facing the gar, a predatory crocodile, yet radiating a chilling, ruthless, and violent aura...

"It's so cold, and I'm so irritable."

Yang Qi frowned subconsciously; the feeling made him extremely uncomfortable.

"The Sky-Swallowing Gar is a savage killer with legendary potential, but it dares to slaughter nearly 99% of my fish."

"die!!"

Yang Qi did not hesitate.

With absolute control over fish, he could suppress a mountain on the spot with his will.

The Sky-Swallowing Gar roared from its body.

"Rebellious? I like that."

Yang Qi increased the force, and the Sky-Swallowing Gar plummeted rapidly towards the bottom of the lake.

Just as he was about to kill the Sky-Devouring Gar, a surge of negative emotions suddenly erupted from his body.

That emotion climbed in the opposite direction of Yang Qi's thoughts, directly approaching his consciousness and even the depths of his soul.

Yang Qi felt a "boom" in his mind, and a wave of negative emotions such as coldness, violence, and bloodlust constantly eroded his brain.

My vision turned red, my heart pounded wildly, my veins bulged, and my knuckles clenched unconsciously...

His mind began to become confused.

The scene before him shifted between reality and blur, forcing him to retract his thoughts and release the suppression of the Sky-Swallowing Crocodile Gar.

The moment the pressure disappeared, the giant gar suddenly calmed down, its pupils regained their clarity, and its head drooped.

Then he looked up, towards the direction where Yang Qi's thoughts were, and bowed slightly in worship.

His body no longer emanated a violent, bloodthirsty aura...

ashore.

Yang Qi swayed suddenly, clutching his head with both hands, his fingers digging into his hair.

At this moment, he was struggling against the backlash of his evil emotions.

"Hiss... Damn it."

Yang Qi forced out half a sentence through gritted teeth, swayed twice, and knelt on the ground.

"I never expected... I could suffer a backlash... It hurts, it hurts so much..."

The lights came on, and footsteps sounded behind her. Chen Zilu walked over.

Upon seeing Yang Qi kneeling on the ground, clutching his head in pain, he immediately tensed up, ran over, and knelt down to help him up.

"Yang Qi! What's wrong?"

The moment his hand touched her shoulder, Yang Qi abruptly flung her away, shouting uncontrollably, "Don't touch me..."

Chen Zilu was pushed backward and fell to the ground, her phone slipping from her hand and falling to the side.

Looking up at Yang Qi, her eyes were wide open, filled with disbelief.

During the time they were together, Yang Qi had never pushed her with such force, nor had he ever spoken to her in such a tone.

today……

"Yang Qi, what's wrong?"

Yang Qi stood up and shook his head a couple of times, desperately suppressing the bloodthirsty urge in his mind. He gritted his teeth and looked down at Chen Zilu lying on the ground. It felt like something had stabbed him in the heart.

He bent down and reached out to help her, his fingers pausing for a moment before touching her arm.

Only after making sure his hand wouldn't get out of control did he pull her up.

"sorry."

Yang Qisong released his grip, took a half step back, and spoke in a low, hoarse voice.

"That wasn't my intention. My...head...just now...it hurts so much, so much, I...I couldn't control myself."

"I really can't control myself..."

As he spoke, his bloodthirsty instinct grew stronger.

Left with no other option, Yang Qi could only bite his tongue to force himself to stay awake.

"System, what's going on?"

Yang Qi roared inwardly.

[Return to host. An accident occurred when you forcibly suppressed the irrational Sky-Devouring Gar, and you became tainted by its ominous evil intent.]

But precisely because you absorbed a large portion of the bloodlust and rage, the Devouring Crocodile Gar's rationality miraculously returned.

"I don't want to know this, what the side effects are, or why I became like this."

[Side effects: This malice will subtly influence your personality, making you bloodthirsty, irritable, with surging desires, and even cold-blooded.]

However, there are advantages: the Sky-Swallowing Gar has already become your master, and you can ask it to do anything for you.

Chen Zilu, standing to the side, watched him with red eyes, watched his fists clench and unclench repeatedly, and watched the veins bulging on his forehead. She didn't know what had happened.

I don't know what to do.

"What's the solution?"

[Solution: Rely on the host's absolute rationality to suppress, and even eliminate, this evil thought.]

"Damn... Hearing your words is like hearing a profound truth."

He had just finished cursing the system in his mind when he saw Chen Zilu open her arms and hug him.

She buried her face in his chest, her hands gripping his back tightly, and choked out:

"Yang Qi, what's wrong with you? The way you looked at me just now...it seemed so unfamiliar..."

Upon hearing this, Yang Qi was startled and looked down at her.

Looking at Chen Zilu curled up in his arms, Yang Qi's surging negative emotions subsided for a moment.

Just then, a thought surfaced from the depths of his mind, urging him on: Kill her, kill her, and then there will be peace...

But how could he bear to part with it?

Shut up...

Suppressing this wicked thought, Yang Qi gently raised his hand and smoothed Chen Zilu's hair:

"My hair is messy..."

Hearing this, Chen Zilu lifted her head from his embrace, reached out and touched her cheek, her thumb rubbing against her cheekbone.

She could sense that Yang Qi was trying his best to restrain himself, but he was still very aggrieved and cried out:

"Yang Qi, just now, you pushed me away... You seem so unfamiliar, so unfamiliar..."

Yang Qi bit his tongue to keep himself calm despite the pain. "No, no, I... my head suddenly started hurting so much, it hurts so much, like a little person is drilling into my head, it hurts so much, I, I couldn't control myself, I'm sorry."

"A villain? What villain?"

Chen Zilu frowned, immediately becoming worried. "Is it serious? We need to go to the hospital, right now..."

Yang Qi shook his head, released her, and tried to make his voice sound steady:

"It's alright, I can bear it. I've also found the cause of the dead fish; it's not an infection."

He paused here, his eyes flashing with murderous intent under the influence of that evil thought, and his tone turned cold.

"Someone let alligator gar in when we weren't looking."

Hearing the cold, emotionless tone of Yang Qi's voice, Chen Zilu suddenly realized that Yang Qi was different now, and had become somewhat cold.

Is there a devil in my head, and I can't control myself? No, that can't be.

The more Chen Zilu thought about it, the more worried she became. She interrupted the possibility in her mind and said, "Yang Qi, how about we go see a doctor tomorrow?"

"Really, you don't need to."

"No, I have to go."

I already said I don't need it!!!

Yang Qi's voice suddenly rose, sounding very irritated.

But when he saw Chen Zilu's shoulders shrink in fright, he immediately realized what was happening and said gently, "No need, Zilu. I'm fine, I'll be alright after a nap, really."

Will a good night's sleep really help? Chen Zilu asked herself.

Looking into Yang Qi's clear eyes, she didn't dare press him any further and went along with his words, "Okay...we won't go, we won't go, let's get some rest."

After saying that, he bent down to pick up the phone from the floor, and the two went into the room. They took a shower, turned off the lights, and lay down on the bed side by side.

Yang Qi lay on his back with his eyes closed and his fists clenched under the covers.

Chen Zilu turned her back to him, her ears perked up to listen to his breathing.

Can't sleep at all.

I don't know how much time passed, but I felt the person next to me breathing more steadily, then turned over and slowly relaxed.

But just as she was about to fall asleep, she felt a gaze upon her.

He suddenly opened his eyes.

In the darkness, a pair of dark red eyes hovered less than a foot above her, staring at her intently.

The scene was quite chilling.

"Yang Qi?" Chen Zilu's voice was tense. "What's wrong with you... staying up so late at night?"

In response to Chen Zilu, one hand lifted her chin and moved closer.

"Zilu, you're so beautiful..."
