Chapter 1309: Reinforcements Arrive

What's going on?

A researcher who had studied all the ‘materials’ of Experiment Subject 21 dodged the attacks of the stitched creatures while explaining to his colleagues:

“The owner of this face is named Julian Hertz. He is said to be Professor Atuka’s lover, who died unexpectedly. She joined this laboratory specifically to resurrect him.”

The person looked at the woman in front of him, whose aura had completely changed, and continued in a low voice, “I also heard that before joining the laboratory, Professor Atuka was a woman softer than water.”

The others: “...”

Softer than water?

Is that how you describe a green tea?

I’ve learned something new.

“Julian, I know you can’t accept your current appearance, but there’s an old saying in Longhua Country: ‘Better to live a bad life than to die a good one.’”

Atuka seemed to have forgotten the pain of her severed hand, and even more, that her severed hand had been eaten by the monster in front of her. Her moist eyes were filled with deep affection, “And you always said you wanted to become stronger, to protect me better...”

“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with your appearance at all, so my dear, please don’t be sad or distressed about it, okay?”

The man’s face listened, his inorganic eyes showing no complex fluctuations. He occasionally mumbled a few words, but his vocabulary was extremely limited.

Besides Atuka’s name, there was only ‘hungry’.

It made it impossible to tell if he truly still possessed the consciousness he had as a human.

“...”

Atuka, however, never gave up, still ‘enlightening’ the monster. Her deep affection was so profound it could move heaven and earth.

“...My dear, everything I’ve done is for you. I know you must have a way to suppress these experiment subjects and find that Transcendent creature that harmed me, right?”

Black Pearl had vanished after cleanly severing the person’s hand and snatching their spatial item.

Ever since it ‘unlocked’ the Myriad Realms Travel’s interdimensional entry method in Wangyue Lake in Wanmo Territory, it truly understood the real use of this characteristic of its own.

Realms are omnipresent.

And as long as a ‘Realm’ exists, it can come and go as it pleases.

By escaping into the ‘Realm,’ those skills that can break through illusions naturally couldn’t capture it, not even Golden Yuanbao Big Brother’s Divine Eye could do it.

However, Black Pearl’s ability left Atuka and the others both surprised and enraged.

Atuka looked at the monster’s face with hope, full of tender affection.

“...Okay.”

The man’s face, or rather Julian, actually nodded.

The next second, Black Pearl, who was in the ‘other realm,’ felt a murderous aura lock onto it.

“Ast?”

Black Pearl’s heart thumped heavily.

It was discovered?

That’s right.

The tumorous monster Julian had indeed locked onto it.

“Hungry... eat... delicious soul... Hahaha, I’ll help Atuka...”

As Black Pearl’s heart rate accelerated, a hoarse, broken, sandpaper-like thought forcibly squeezed into its mental sea!

It was filled with greed and pain.

“Boom!”

The folded space was torn open, and a huge greyish-white tentacle stretched out from within!

Black Pearl was shocked.

This monster actually also had the ability to freely traverse ‘other realms’?!

And it looked even stronger than its own Myriad Realms Travel!

“Bang!”

The tentacle, sharp as a whip, lashed out and sent the stunned Black Pearl flying.

Black Pearl was already severely injured, and this one lash directly took half its life, breaking its spine.

“Pfft!”

Large mouthfuls of fresh blood gushed out.

Black Pearl’s aura instantly weakened. Seeing the tentacle about to strike again, it was already considering whether to leave a will for its master.

This underground laboratory must have strange restrictions. It couldn’t perceive its master’s situation through the power of the contract and bond.

Its master’s side was probably in the same situation.

So even ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) if its master discovered it was missing, its master didn’t force it back into the Pet Space.

Master...

Must be angry again!

“Black Pearl!”

A familiar voice penetrated the barrier of time and space, landing on its brow like a light insect.

“Ginger!”

It wasn’t an illusion.

It was Ginger, who it had sent back to notify Mingxi after discovering this underground laboratory!

Although Black Pearl was reckless, it wasn’t a completely brainless simpleton.

Upon realizing that it had very likely discovered an incredible secret, it knew it couldn’t handle it alone and immediately sent Ginger to call for reinforcements.

However, it didn’t know that Mingxi and the others had already sensed the anomaly before Ginger arrived. By the time Ginger found them, Mingxi had already led Bright Crystal and the other two to the elevator entrance.

“Black Pearl.”

The voice that rang out again was firm and powerful, the voice of its most familiar master.

Black Pearl immediately jumped out of the other realm.

Meeting those eyes that contained worry and anger.

“...”

Seeing Black Pearl’s miserable and wronged little appearance, Mingxi was speechless. She felt that the contract's pull had returned to normal.

She immediately guessed that the restrictions here only limited distance and could not block the contract.

“Don’t say anything else, go back to your space and face the wall!”

Before it could cry, Mingxi raised her hand and sent Black Pearl back to the Pet Space.

Ginger was placed in her Ring of Life.

Ginger Jelly Algae Worms had little combat power, so it was better not to keep it here getting in the way.

After Black Pearl and Ginger disappeared, Mingxi finally had the time to observe the chaotic scene before her.

It was utterly chaotic.

Black Pearl had single-handedly destroyed most of the underground laboratory!

Because of the data Guangguang had intercepted, Mingxi didn’t react much upon seeing those strange, anti-science, anti-human stitched creatures.

After all, she had already been shocked.

However, when she faced the terrifying body of the tumorous monster, especially the two faces on the front and back of its head, she was still thoroughly shaken.

Holy crap!

Which genius created this monstrosity?

It’s too sanity-draining!

One might think Mingxi had transmigrated again, and into a bizarre world at that.

“Roar!”

Suddenly losing its target, the tumorous monster, whether it was the front or back face, let out an angry roar.

It immediately locked onto Mingxi.

It ignored the three pets beside it, which were emitting terrifying energy, and its mountain-like body burst forth with a speed that defied its size.

Its bone-hammer arm, covered in sticky substance, brought with it a foul, fishy stench as it fiercely smashed towards Mingxi.

At the same time, the fleshy mountain body split into more tentacles, like venomous snakes emerging from their holes, coiling with electric arcs, and wrapping around Lan Yue, Bright Crystal, and the other two!

“Lan Yue, Fire Lotus, Ice Wall!” Mingxi roared!

Like Black Pearl, she had just heard the pure malice and hunger for her in the monster’s thoughts.

Lan Yue reacted extremely quickly.

Fire Lotus and Ice Wall instantly formed in front of Mingxi.

Ice Wall and flames intertwined.

The bone-hammer arm smashed heavily against the Ice Wall, sending ice shards and flames scattering!

The Ice Wall shook violently, but barely held up!

However, the tentacle entwined with electric arcs was extremely cunning, bypassing the Fire Lotus and Ice Wall, heading straight for Mingxi’s back!
