Chapter 431: Chapter 380: Departure! Help Laden with Killing Intent!

"Awake? I heard that kid is awake?"

Director Long’s voice came from afar, followed by a loud bang as he and Zodiac Pig burst open the hospital room door.

Immediately, they saw Wu Liang with half an apple in his mouth, clutching the bed sheet tightly to cover his upper body like a shy bride.

Meanwhile, Yin Qiming was holding a fruit knife, his eyes glistening with a visible desire, nearly drooling. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

He impatiently exclaimed, "Hurry! Let me study a part of your body! Just one cut! Just one!"

"I say, buddy, do you hear yourself? I’m supposed to be somewhat human, right? Limbs won’t grow back if they come off!" Wu Liang retorted, full of helplessness.

As soon as he finished, Wu Liang’s hand clutching the sheet suddenly turned into a beast-like claw.

Although it only transformed for less than half a second before returning to normal, the three standing aside clearly saw it.

Yin Qiming couldn’t help but swallow and said, "Yes! That’s it! Your body changes in such a way that even your soul transforms in the moment! What is this ability? If a limb detaches during the transformation, can the soul still revert? If the entire soul changes, can you turn into another species? A Fierce Ghost? Can you transform into the soul form of a Fierce Ghost..."

Ever since he witnessed the bizarre phenomena caused by Wu Liang’s ability to "modify reality" to save Director Long up close, he became increasingly curious about this kid’s powers.

But since Wu Liang had been sleeping these past few days, he couldn’t pursue answers, so he focused on researching Artificial Ghosts instead.

Now that he had figured out the situation with the Artificial Ghosts and was troubled for a new research direction, seeing Wu Liang awake and exhibiting phenomena beyond his understanding made him eager to start researching immediately.

Confronted with several questions from Yin Qiming all at once, Wu Liang suddenly found himself at a loss for words.

Fortunately, Director Long noticed the tense atmosphere and quickly interjected to defuse it, "Hey hey hey... Wu Liang just woke up, let him rest a bit! Why the rush?"

Hearing Director Long’s voice, Yin Qiming reluctantly restrained his urge to dissect Wu Liang on the spot.

After giving Wu Liang a vicious glare, he sighed and said, "Okay, remember to come to the research institute when you’ve rested."

With that said, he casually stabbed the fruit knife into a dragon fruit on the table and turned to leave the hospital room.

Watching the spot where the knife blade dripped with a little red dragon fruit juice, Wu Liang couldn’t help but swallow.

Damn! How could I dare to go to the research institute!

If I went, just as this dragon fruit was cut open, I’d be cut open too!

Who would have thought that after Yin Qiming joined the official research institute, he would become like those scientific maniacs, seeing everything as material to slice.

Seeing Yin Qiming leave, Director Long turned to Wu Liang with a smile and said, "Given our relationship, I’m skipping the formalities. There’s a task, would you take it?"

Wu Liang: "?"

Not cool, bro! Who just said to let me rest a bit, not to rush?

I’m still wearing my hospital gown, and you’re already assigning me a job?

"There’s a suspected nation-destroying level Fierce Ghost in the west, and they’ve requested our assistance. If possible, either you or I should go..."

"Me! I’ll take a stroll to the west! You know me, staying behind as a leader doesn’t suit me. This kind of desk job is all yours."

Before Director Long finished speaking, Wu Liang immediately interrupted him, volunteering himself directly.

His enthusiasm even left Director Long slightly surprised.

After all, after disappearing for a year and finally returning, Wu Liang’s first act was to save Director Long, who was undergoing a second awakening, leading to a three-day coma because of it.

Now, having just woken up, Director Long felt a little embarrassed coming to him with a mission.

Bang—

Suddenly, the fruit knife, previously stuck in the dragon fruit, sprang up and shot straight into another box containing consolation gifts, causing a loud bang that caught everyone’s attention.

Only then did everyone notice the fruit knife was entirely buried into the box.

In this strange situation, Director Long couldn’t help but furrow his brows and ask, "What are you... doing? Why suddenly handling the fruit knife?"

He wasn’t at all worried about Wu Liang controlling the fruit knife flying around and harming anyone.

After all, neither the staff outside the hospital room nor himself inside could be harmed by a mere fruit knife.

But Wu Liang’s behavior since waking was a bit odd!

First, the sudden transformation of his hand into a beast’s claw, and now, the inexplicable floating of the fruit knife.

What’s he up to?

"Uh... it was indeed my doing, but not intentionally." Wu Liang sighed as he continued to suppress the constantly surging "reality" laws in his mind.

After slightly calming the laws, he finally said with a serious expression, "This mission can only be done by me because I’ve already reached the country-destroying level."

"..."

For a moment, the entire hospital room plunged into silence.

Director Long remained silent, merely staring intently at Wu Liang, the look in his eyes revealing a singular thought—Are you kidding me?
