Coveted After Becoming a Monster [Quick Transmigration] 39p2

Chapter 39 p2:

By the door, there was a wide sink, filled with the little octopus’s things, so that Ji Yulin’s lotions and toners only occupied a small corner, looking a little pitiful, just like the current situation.

Most of the space was occupied by the tentacles. Ji Yulin only had a small, narrow space, and she was squeezed by the tentacles, which wrapped her even tighter.

Ji Yulin frowned slightly and raised her hand to press against a tentacle, as if she were holding a railing, trying to pull herself back from the brink of falling. But the tentacle was not a life-saving straw, but the key to her sinking deeper.

In the entanglement, her slender back, through the tentacle, was pressed against the porcelain wall. The light from the bathroom fell on her features. Her cool, desireless eyes were half-closed, the corners of her eyes misted with a faint blush. Water droplets condensed on her thick lashes and then fell with a tremor, inexplicably adding a hint of decadent richness.

Mama.

Li An called out again. The name she had been unwilling to say before was now repeated over and over again, making Ji Yulin’s heart soften.

The hand that had been holding the tentacle shrank and shrank, making it even more outrageous.

“Li An,” she finally spoke, her voice gentle and tolerant, as if in permission.

The rain grew heavier.

The rumbling thunder almost shook the entire Thirteenth District. A purple lightning bolt split the thick clouds, tearing them into pieces.

In the high-rise building that had not been extinguished, the infinity pool was hit by the rain, and waves were constantly being churned up. In a daze, she thought she had returned to the stormy sea.

Qi Fu, who had been found, had now been moved here.

There was still a fierce burn still marked her shoulder,, but the fiery poison seemed insignificant at this moment, not even as hot as her own body temperature.

Even in the cold pool water, she was constantly sweating, as if she were in a sauna, constantly emitting white steam.

Under the intense pain, the veins under her thin skin twisted and bulged, then coiled into a knot.

Qi Fu trembled in pain, and blood kept flowing from her left eye, dripping down her cheeks and creating chaotic blood flowers in the pool.

“Pain, pain,” a wail was squeezed from between her teeth, and the sound of bones colliding could be faintly heard. Even though this pain had been going on for a long time, it was still impossible for one to get used to it. Every time, she would be defeated.

“It hurts so much, it really hurts so much,” a helpless, sobbing voice. She raised her hand, wanting to grab something, but she didn’t even have the strength to hold on.

All the painkillers had lost their effect. Before, Qi Peilan had tried every medicine she could find, but none of them had any effect.

She could only stand helplessly by the pool, letting the rain soak her clothes, regretting over and over again that she had agreed to let Qi Fu participate in the so-called transplant experiment.

But no matter how much she regretted, what had happened had happened. She couldn’t even bear a fraction of the pain for Qi Fu. She took several deep breaths but couldn’t calm her emotions. Ji Yulin’s voice uncontrollably popped into her head.

“District Chief Qi, shall we talk?”

The remaining people, including Su Ye, had been driven out of the room, leaving only Ji Yulin and herself.

“You already know the situation Yang Yihan described, so I don’t need to explain any more.”

Ji Yulin’s voice was still cold, but it had a strange ability to calm Qi Peilan’s emotions. The water glass on the table was finally picked up, and she took a shallow sip.

“I… should be clear,” Qi Peilan was silent for a moment, then put down the water glass.

Ji Yulin ignored her confusion and bewilderment, her expression still cold.

This appearance inevitably made people feel cold and hard. Actually, from the very beginning, Qi Peilan had marveled at this person’s cold and unfeeling personality. She held a sharp scalpel, but what she did was for the future well-being of humanity. She was more serious and rigorous than most people in the Research Institute, without any selfish thoughts.

It was also because of this that when Qi Fu was in trouble, her first reaction was to go and beg Ji Yulin.

And these past few days, after testing her, she had extended an olive branch several times, hoping that Ji Yulin would leave the Research Institute and join the Thirteenth District.

If she could…

Qi Peilan’s lips ground together. She was about to speak again, but for the first time, Ji Yulin beat her to it, “I should have a way to deal with Qi Fu’s situation.”

Qi Peilan’s hand trembled, and she actually knocked the water glass to the floor with a “bang.” But she couldn’t be bothered with that anymore and said urgently, “Professor Ji, what did you say?!”

“If you can solve Qi Fu’s problem, we can agree to anything,” she said impatiently, and then with a heavier tone, she quickly asked, “What do you want?”

“District Chief Qi doesn’t need to be in a hurry,” Ji Yulin’s tone paused, and she just said, “I’m only fifty percent sure. It’s not too late to decide after you hear the conditions of the exchange.”

Ji Yulin’s expression did not change, but Qi Peilan’s heart was pounding, almost jumping out of her chest.

She had tried everything these past few years but had not been able to alleviate Qi Fu’s condition in the slightest. But Ji Yulin said she was fifty percent sure?

This was a problem that even the Research Institute was helpless against.

Her lips, which had just been moistened by water, were dry again, completely stuck together, making it difficult for her to even breathe.

“Professor Ji, just say it. As long as I can, even if I have to be crushed to pieces, I will do my best.”

But Ji Yulin shook her head and said with a distant tone, a not-so-funny joke, “It won’t go as far as crushing District Chief Qi to pieces, but it might hurt the Thirteenth District a little.”

Qi Peilan was stunned.

The thunder was still going on, and the heavy rain was washing away all traces. The broken walls and tiles that had been burned by the fire in the explosion were soaked in water.

The green tree outside the window, after absorbing enough water, finally stretched its branches and leaves.

The tentacles were the same. Soaked in the hot water, they became more and more glistening. Water dripped from the tips of the tentacles, one drop after another.

The mist in the space grew thicker, almost completely enveloping the bathroom. The sound of the rain covered the gasps. Ji Yulin was pressed against the white porcelain wall. She bent her body to dodge, but her spine was pressed against the wall, and a hint of pain shot through her, pulling the sinking person back, making her feel everything more clearly.

The deeper the tentacle went, the clearer the sensation became. The contracting suckers were like hooks, biting down on every part they touched.

Her wet hair stuck to her cheeks, her beautiful face faintly visible. The line between black and white in her eyes was no longer so clear. They held a clear spring, and in the rippling water, a shattered light of desire shimmered.

With a creak, the door was completely pushed open. The line was finally submerged in water, completely blurred.

Mama, Mama.

The murmur was still there, constantly pulling.

“Mom! It hurts so much, Mom!”

The thunder sounded again. Qi Fu was in so much pain that she curled into a ball, crying out unconsciously. The rain that fell on her seemed to evaporate the moment it touched her.

Her twisted cheeks, her clenched and trembling teeth, all spoke of her pain.

Qi Peilan’s eyes were red. The woman who could face life and death with composure was now unable to even stand steady. She held onto the door frame, full of helplessness.

Su Ye, beside her, was also standing in the rain. Her soaked clothes stuck to her skin. In the cold, her skin had turned blue and purple, but she did not dare to make a sound, silently waiting for Qi Peilan to make a decision.

“Mom, it hurts so much.”

Another cry of pain, and it broke all of Qi Peilan’s psychological defenses. She called out with a trembling voice, “I agree to her.”

Time was pulled back to the villa.

Ji Yulin’s voice sounded again, as if she had been thinking for a long time, and finally, she calmly recited the words, “I want the Thirteenth District to help me deal with the darkness by the sea.”

Qi Peilan was stunned. She had never expected Ji Yulin to propose such a reason.

Not to mention that the darkness was within the range of the Thirteenth Safe Zone, and it was the Thirteenth District’s own business to deal with it. And then she thought of its power from the intelligence, a mutated beast that could make the sea rise and instantly submerge a town. How could it be so easy to deal with?

Qi Peilan had originally planned to move Anding Town back and then send people to station and observe.

If the mutated beast saw that this area had become a no-man’s land and turned and went into the deep sea, no longer causing trouble, that would be for the best.

If the other refused to leave, then she could only ask the Research Institute for help and then make a plan.

No matter how strong the Thirteenth District was, she had to consider if it was worth it. The coastline was so long. If this side didn’t work, she could just avoid it and go to the other side. There was no need to force a head-on confrontation.

But Ji Yulin was forcing them to face it…

Qi Peilan took a deep breath. Before she could think, Ji Yulin said again, “I’m just guessing. If it fails, Qi Fu might die.”

At these words, Qi Peilan’s expression clearly showed hesitation.

And Ji Yulin’s tone did not change. She continued, “Even if it succeeds, Qi Fu will lose her left eye.”

Qi Peilan’s heart trembled. She clearly guessed something and blurted out, “You think Qi Fu’s left eye is hindering her mutation?”

The moment she finished speaking, Ji Yulin looked at her. Her pair of dark, deep eyes were filled with an emotion that Qi Peilan did not understand, and she felt a sense of fear for no reason.

“District Chief Qi, watch your words.”

—Rumble.

The thunder broke the silence, and the memory completely ended. Qi Peilan, who had made a decision, did not delay any longer. She turned her head to look at Su Ye and said, “Go and get that small box.”

Fearing that Su Ye would misunderstand, she added with a heavier tone, “The small box that was brought back from Professor Ji’s side. It’s on the living room table.”

She should have gotten it herself, but her legs were now limp, as if she had lost all her strength. She couldn’t even take a step and could only ask Su Ye.

Su Ye did not say much and did not ask much. Years of being a wife had given them a silent understanding.

A moment later, the box was brought over. Qi Peilan opened it with trembling hands and saw a test tube the size of an index finger inside. A blue liquid was swaying in the test tube. In this situation, it looked strangely eerie.

Qi Peilan gave it a deep look, gritted her teeth, and said, “Feed it to Qi Fu.”

“Mmph,”

She wanted to make a sound but was blocked by a tentacle. A broken sound escaped from between her lips and teeth and was then covered by the sound of water.

It was getting more and more outrageous. With no one between them, Li An no longer held back. A tentacle bound and pulled her, and even lifted her into the air, pressing her against the wall.

Water fell into the triangular hollow formed by her shoulder and collarbone, forming a shallow puddle, and with her movements, it kept splashing out.

A tentacle became scorching hot, almost searing into her skin, branding into her flesh.

It was unclear if it was hot water or tears. Ji Yulin whimpered and cried softly, trying to push her away but was wrapped even tighter, like a puppet at the mercy of the octopus, being played with and bullied at will.

The tentacle was faster, stripping away all sensation, and in the end, only a dazed white was left.

Li An, Li An.

Mama.

The wind blew the window open, and a white mist rushed in, and the rain fell in.

The rain grew heavier and heavier, almost submerging the entire Thirteenth District, completely enveloped in a giant net woven from raindrops.

The streetlights on the side of the road were crackling, as if a wire had been burned. The already faint light was instantly extinguished, leaving only a pitch-black darkness where one could not see their hand in front of their face.

The people who had escaped were also in a wretched state from the heavy rain. They had barely found a temporary shelter to hide in, but because it was too narrow, a group of people had to squeeze together. Among them was the abducted Ling Yun.

Her combat uniform was a mess, but her expression was still calm. Her gaze swept over the people who had already closed their eyes and were in a light sleep, then she looked through the rain curtain in the direction of the Thirteenth District, it was unclear what she was thinking.

The person who was specially guarding her immediately looked over and scolded in a cold voice, “What, you want to go back again?”

“When we left you behind before, you insisted on following us. It’s still not too late to regret it. When the sun rises, you can leave.”

But Ling Yun shook her head and refused, saying in a low voice, “I also want to gain the same ability as you.”

Her eyes were filled with desire. The other did not have a trace of suspicion. After all, they had seen too many people with such an expression. Anyone who had seen their ability would want to have it, but whether they had this talent…

The person snorted coldly, “You’d better not get your hopes up. This kind of thing is not something a person can control.”

Is that so…

The rain was still falling. In the only high-rise building that was lit, the churning pool of water finally calmed down. The exhausted Qi Fu fell into a deep sleep, but her expression had relaxed.

And Qi Peilan was kneeling on the ground, murmuring as if she were holding a life-saving straw, “It’s working, it’s really working.”

“She can really save Qi Fu.”
