Chapter 172: Chapter 170 Death is Redemption

The man chuckled, despite being tormented to a haggard state, his voice remained youthful.

"Every day it’s the same tone, I’ve got calluses in my ears from hearing it, I won’t become your slave, I will walk out of here with my head held high, and then I’ll find each one of you and make you pay!"

"Foolish, ignorant, obstinate!"

The woman in the grey robe screamed, she came here every day to persuade this man, but her patience had long run out.

If it weren’t for the higher-ups’ orders not to kill him, the woman in the grey robe would have torn him to pieces a long time ago.

"You will surely yield, no one can be resilient forever, the will of mankind... is the most laughable thing, and then you will be the new L..."

"Then try it, you cranky old hag on her period every single day of the month," the man taunted.

The woman in the grey robe extended her emaciated finger and lightly touched it, making the straw in the dungeon condense into a straw man, pinning down the young man.

The straw man revealed a sinister smile, and then from the straw man’s hand, a vine full of thorns grew and was raised high, ready to strike.

The man closed his eyes, protecting his head, without a trace of fear.

He would keep on resisting, refusing to submit, until the day he escaped from this place.

Or... the day he died.

...

Breaking away from the imagery, Wen Wen clapped his hands; he took quite a liking to this young man.

"This one’s good, with a heart seeking the light amid darkness, just the right material for a Containment Officer."

"It’s unbearable to let him suffer like this continuously, I’ve got to rescue him, but how should I go about it..."

No sooner had Wen Wen considered this than a piece of information came through inside the bubble.

’Dongshan Province, Yanling City, Lishui Villa, the Profane Blood branch location...’

"Good, I’ll make time to rescue him... bah, ghost!"

The Profane Blood branch location, isn’t that just like Mr. L, the perverted superpower user’s lair?

Expecting Wen Wen to go in there to rescue someone is more painful than just killing himself on the spot.

"Let’s put this matter aside for now, it truly exceeds my capabilities, but that address should still be considered important information, right? I can report this to the Association."

...

In the opulent villa, under the soft light, Liao Jiaxin, wearing an apron, was dealing with a big bowl of live crayfish.

Startled as the crayfish struggled, she gave a small jump, creating a somewhat warm scene.

Grandi, sitting on the sofa outside the kitchen, watched this scene, feeling an unshakable chill in his heart, and a deep sense of powerlessness.

Now, his entire skin had turned a dark green, making him look no longer human.

This woman was slowly dragging him into the Abyss.

"At most in another day or two, I will completely lose consciousness and become something like a breeding ground for some sort of creature’s birth..."

"With this woman here, I can’t even kill myself, and I can’t count on other superpower users either."

Grandi sighed and found himself in agonizing indecision.

"After hesitating for so long, I should make a decision. If I don’t want to sink into endless suffering, this is the only way!"

He stood up abruptly, a wisp of black Qi surged from his body, forming a shadow behind him.

Now, he had temporarily regained all his strength!

But this state could last only for a few minutes at most, and he could neither kill himself nor kill Liao Jiaxin.

As his strength was spent, the transformation would immediately begin.

He had never dared to do this before, but now he was willing to use the last day of his lucid consciousness to go all out!

He was prepared to risk everything to spread the "Great Mother’s" Qi!

He wouldn’t let this affair proceed quietly; he wanted it to happen with a bang.

"Dear, what are you going to do?"

Liao Jiaxin frowned and hurried over, trying to press the weakened Grandi back, as she had always done before.

"What am I going to do, heh heh... do what you all have been longing to do!"

Grandi bit open his own wrist, then grabbed Liao Jiaxin’s neck and poured the fishy green blood, filled with innumerable eerie qualities, into her mouth.

As the blood entered her, Liao Jiaxin’s eyes instantly became hazy, and underneath her skin, something seemed to be twisting and wriggling, as if it wanted to burst out.

A once relatively beautiful older single woman, she became hideously ugly in an instant.

Grandi sat on the sofa, his consciousness beginning to blur, but a smile hung on his lips; he had done everything he could, and now he would leave the rest to fate.

In the end, he even felt a pang of guilt toward Liao Jiaxin.

In her eyes, she wasn’t pushing Grandi into the Abyss, but was caring for a pitiable man with suicidal tendencies, the love of her life.

Unfortunately, for that last glimmer of hope, Grandi had to do this.

Liao Jiaxin gave one final agonized scream as her skin burst open and the bizarre Qi, along with her blood, spilled out.

The entire villa seemed to come alive, as all the organic matter began to undergo wondrous changes.

The insects underground, the ornamental fish in the tank, the half-cleaned crayfish in the kitchen, the potted plants in the yard, and even the chicken, duck, and fish in the fridge, all seemed to grow legs and started running wildly.

These things formed an extremely weird scene, but within this scene, there was an odd sense of harmony.

All sorts of things gathered beside Liao Jiaxin, like goods awaiting selection.

And from Liao Jiaxin’s ruptured skin, tentacles made of blood and flesh reached out, merging with those things outside.

After about ten minutes of fusion, Liao Jiaxin was no longer the beautiful woman, but a nearly three-meter-tall terrifying Monster.

Besides the human part of her, the rest of her body was beyond description.

That face, now distorted out of shape, still carried a terrifying gentleness; she gently picked up the now unconscious Grandi and rocked him tenderly as if lulling a child to sleep.

She wouldn’t let anyone disturb Grandi before his transformation was complete.

But the abnormalities didn’t stop with Liao Jiaxin, from her villa as the center, the eerie Qi slowly radiated outwards.

Every place it touched seemed to become another world, a world filled only with the eerie and the twisted.

This was Grandi’s final desperate move.

If he didn’t do this, he might undergo transformation silently, unnoticed by anyone, until he truly became some sort of eerie being.

By then, he would forever sink into despair and pain.

But now, with the eruption of the eerie, it was bound to draw the attention of the Hunters Association.

With the capability of the Hunters Association, he might be slain before the transformation was complete.

This was his plan, to actively call for the Hunters Association to kill him.

For him now, death was redemption.
