No strange things are allowed to evolve!

"If that's really the case, then that would be wonderful..."

The creative artisans prayed and continued their work at the spinning machines.

She didn't notice, nor could she notice, that the white-bearded doll with its back to her was wearing a distorted smile of surprise.

Through the flowerbed, he could clearly see everything happening outside.

First, they destroyed the creative workshops, blew up all the means of production, and caused all the knowledge and technology about dolls that could be passed down to disappear in the fire. Then they made the craftsmen and the big-headed dolls kill each other for their ideals.

No one realizes they are wrong; everyone will spare no effort to prove themselves right.

As a result, all those who possessed knowledge and skills about dolls died.

Watching the handsaw doll cut open the head of the big-headed doll with a tragic and heartbreaking feeling, the white-bearded doll treasured it like a precious gem.

"You're even more interesting than the ending I wrote, you rascal... You really make me happy."

"What?" The creative craftsman, who hadn't heard what the man was saying, looked over in confusion.

“I said.”

Turning back again, the white-bearded doll's eyes were brimming with tears, filled with reluctance to part.

"Sister, it's time to say goodbye."

The spindle fell from the hand. The creative craftsman was initially incredulous, then relieved, and couldn't help but shed tears.

"So fast...?"

"Ah... I can finally be free..."

......

"Ah... I can finally be free..."

"Actually... after a while, it can get a bit boring..."

With its body torn to pieces, the handsaw doll struggled to sit down against the wall.

In the end, he was the only one left standing in the arena, a lose-lose situation.

Looking at the black stuffing scattered all over the ground, the guards and craftsmen that had lost their luster and liveliness and looked no different from ordinary rag dolls, and the big-headed dolls that had been split in two, he felt very complicated.

With his last ounce of strength, he moved the scissor doll, its body covered in footprints and trampled to pieces, to his side and carefully wiped away the footprints.

He didn't like the scissors doll because it often referred to itself as the doctor's lackey, which made fun of him. Even though the hammer doll and the spindle doll had privately advised each other many times, the other doll didn't stop.

He was the first doll whose body was opened and whose stuffing was drained.

Just as the craftsmen were too late to help, and the guards became serious and decided to kill them, the moment came.

So he sawed open the big-headed doll's head and emptied out all the stuffing and other miscellaneous items stored inside.

Feeling a strong sense of drowsiness, just like when the soul was transferred into the doll by the creative craftsman, the handsaw doll suddenly understood something and felt much relieved.

So he mustered the last bit of strength from his body.

"Master, leave this castle."

"Don't even think about rebuilding the creative workshops."

"This is actually a curse for us..."

After turning the corner, Jiang Shu listened to the gradually fading sound of the handsaw doll and sighed.

"Those who know nothing about everything are truly blessed."

At the same time, a string of garbled characters appeared in front of him.

[Mission Objective Two: Shatter the Doctor's Doll Kingdom Restoration Plan] [Completed]

[Hidden Mission: Kill the Creative Craftsman] [Completed]

You realize the curse has disappeared, and your soul can return to your body unimpeded...

[After returning to the body, they can freely leave the incubator]

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Leaving the Hatchery

At the pre-arranged location with Jiang Shu, Xue Wang and the others were waiting, surrounded by four dolls who looked almost identical to them and Jiang Shu's body.

Upon receiving notification that the mission had been successfully completed, they immediately switched back to their original bodies, their faces beaming with excitement.

"I really did it! Now I'm someone who has experience conquering disaster-level hatcheries!" Overlord excitedly punched the air.

The little gummy bear added with a smile: "Death type, disaster death type hatchery!"

"Yes, yes, yes, the death type, hahahaha." The Overlord laughed so hard his mouth almost stretched to the back of his head.

It's no wonder he was so excited. After all, most evolved beings can only reach the Calamity level in their entire lives, and even that requires some luck to succeed.

A catastrophe-level disaster? That's something I don't even dare to dream of.

Only the elite of the elite, the best of the evolved, have a chance to successfully conquer them.

Wherever there are people, there are social circles; wherever there are social circles, there are factions and organizations among the evolved beings, and they also recruit new members and pass on their traditions.

Once you have a guide to conquering a catastrophic death-type incubator, regardless of the rating or the strength of the evolved being, it's practically equivalent to having a ticket to join any organization—a stepping stone. Evolved beings who have already joined an organization will receive preferential treatment and focused training.

This means that as long as you don't cause trouble, or even cause serious trouble, the organization will protect you.

Even if you don't intend to join the organization, as long as you have this title, your fellow practitioners in the martial arts world will give you some face and do their best to help you.

This is the benefit of seniority and experience.

So even someone as composed as Xue Wang, and someone as socially awkward as Wang Tiezhu who rarely showed his emotions, was overjoyed at this moment, his excitement as undisguised as Fan Jin passing the imperial examination was written all over his face.

Unlike Bawang and Little Bear Hard Candy, Xuewang and Wang Tiezhu knew that this successful strategy was almost entirely due to Jiang Shu.

Aside from Snow Queen providing the potion and Overlord finding everyone's location by recognizing pheromones, Hard Gum and Wang Tiezhu didn't make any special contributions.

What should have been a collaborative effort with everyone fulfilling their responsibilities turned into a one-man show by Jiang Shu.

Just as they were thinking of Jiang Shu, Jiang Shu rushed back.

"Have you received the message that the replacement has been completed?"

"Yes, yes, you're the only one left." Xue Wang made way for Jiang Shu, who had been hidden behind her.

Without wasting any words, Jiang Shu directly followed the garbled text prompts, lifted the white cloth, and placed his hand on his body.

In the blink of an eye, the perspective shifted.

From Jiang Shu's perspective, he was lying on the ground, while the doll body he had been using suddenly seemed to have lost its strength and collapsed in front of him.

Getting up from the ground, Jiang Shu twisted his neck and moved his stiff joints, trying to get his body back to its best condition.

He didn't notice that his four companions were staring at him in disbelief.

Jiang Shu has a great figure; every muscle is perfectly proportioned, and he looks even more sculpted than the human anatomy diagrams in medical textbooks.

Jiang Shu's body had been wrapped in a white cloth shortly after being taken out of the freezer, so no one had taken a close look. Now, with closer inspection and the fact that he was moving around, the visual impact was enormous compared to his previous Steve-like blocky doll-like appearance.

Although Ba Wang's physique was more robust than Jiang Shu's, it was mostly fat covering his muscles, so the lines weren't as defined, and most importantly, no one could see them.

because...

"I mean, you changed right here?!" Hard Gum exclaimed incredulously. "Aren't you going to wear a different outfit?!"

"Hmm?" Jiang Shu looked at the others in confusion.

That's when I realized everyone was wearing clothes that had been taken off the mascots. They were probably used to seeing them and busy getting used to their own bodies, so they hadn't noticed.

"We were just taking turns changing in places where we couldn't see..." Overlord awkwardly pointed to a huge pillar not far away.

Wang Tiezhu remained silent, only covering his eyes and peeking through his fingers to admire the view.

Feeling extremely embarrassed, Xue Wang lowered her head and helped Jiang Shu remove the clothes from the doll, then handed them to him: "Put them on."

"Thank you." Jiang Shu nodded and put it on in front of everyone.

He didn't feel embarrassed at all.

We've been through thick and thin together, so it's perfectly fine for anyone to even glance at us or touch us.

Moreover, this is the kind of money he usually earns.

Shame?

nonexistent.

People with a strong sense of shame have long been eliminated by the market, while he is a man standing at the top of the market.

Seeing that Jiang Shu had finished dressing, Wang Tiezhu finally put his hand down, feeling a little regretful.

Although he has a lot of scars, for some reason, they seem to look better on Jiang Shu.

"Following the instructions, we can now leave," Jiang Shu said. "It's truly fate that we met everyone. In any case, thank you all."

Uh... why are you suddenly being so serious?

BaWang and Hard Candy exchanged a glance, also feeling nervous at this formal farewell: "Not at all, it was all thanks to you that things went so smoothly."

"We should be thanking you," Wang Tiezhu said earnestly, pressing his palms together in gratitude.

"Teacher La deserves a lot of credit for our successful conquest of this disaster-level incubator. We all owe him a favor."

Snow King smiled, then changed the subject:

"However, there is another important matter, as you all probably know. This incubator has caused many extremely heartbreaking deaths of evolved beings, and it has a notorious reputation. Therefore, it will definitely attract a lot of attention after it goes out. I hope that you will not disclose specific details to the outside world unless necessary."

“We understand.” The three nodded.

They had long known that Xue Wang's identity was not simple. Although they didn't know which organization's elite she was, she must know some inside information that they didn't. In any case, trusting her couldn't be wrong.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Jiang Shu didn't stand out and simply hummed in agreement.

Xue Wang continued, "Teacher La is right. Meeting is fate. I suggest we add each other as friends after we go out, so we can help each other out if anything happens in the future."

“No problem.” The group readily agreed.

Opportunities to connect with large organizations are rare, let alone with their elites. Even with the title of "Master of Disaster-Level Incubators," having multiple connections is never a bad thing.

Seeing everyone's preoccupied expressions, Xue Wang secretly glanced at Jiang Shu. Seeing that the latter remained calm and showed no particular reaction, she felt a strange sense of loss.

Jiang Shu, who appeared calm, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He entered this instance to meet other evolved beings and enter their circle.

He just saw that no one was interested in establishing offline relations, and he was afraid that his intentions would be too obvious if he brought it up, so he deliberately said that sentence in a serious manner to give a hint.

After everyone talked about all sorts of things, he was getting really anxious.

Fortunately, the Snow King made the suggestion in the end.

"Then let's part ways here."

After making the agreement, Ba Wang and Wang Tiezhu left the incubator one after the other.

Xue Wang smiled at the little gummy bear, then reminded Jiang Shu, "I'll add you as friends as soon as I leave, so remember to check your notifications."

"understood."

Jiang Shu was about to nod as he watched Xue Wang operating the escape mechanism when he suddenly noticed something.

He grabbed Snow King's shoulder and pulled him aside, then grabbed Little Bear's wrist.

Somewhat bewildered, Snow King turned around and was shocked to find that Little Bear Hard Candy had somehow acquired a dagger.

Little Bear looked at Jiang Shu in surprise, then chuckled and said, "Hey? Not bad."

"What are you doing?" Jiang Shu squinted at the gummy bear, whose demeanor was completely different from before.

"This has nothing to do with you."

The little gummy bear waved happily at Jiang Shu:

"It's such a pity that I only found this opportunity at the last minute. You saved me. Hope we meet again someday."

After saying that, he was enveloped in black mist and disappeared from the spot, just like the Overlord and Wang Tiezhu.

Jiang Shu lowered her wrist, which had been holding a gummy bear, and now her hand was empty. With a serious expression, she asked Xue Wang, "Do you know what happened?"

Snow King, who had narrowly escaped being ambushed by gummy bears, was still in shock.

"what?"

"Do you know what's going on here? Your enemy?"
