Chapter 80

It was as if an invisible barrier separated Qin Su and Ruan Chengye, forcing Ruan Chengye to stop, unable to move forward even a centimeter further.

The highly concentrated Pheromones, carrying the scent of Perfume personally blended by Qin Su, instantly and forcefully invaded Ruan Chengye's mouth, nose, and every inch of his skin, reaching his palate, flowing through his throat, and spreading throughout his limbs.

A tremendous roar seemed to explode in Ruan Chengye's mind, and extreme pain instantly spread to every nerve ending in his body.

Ruan Chengye's expression changed drastically in the blink of an eye.

After a very brief freeze, a piercing scream echoed through the ears.

"Ahh!"

The Military Saber slipped from Ruan Chengye's hand and fell straight down, embedding itself in the sand. Because Ruan Chengye was not controlling his Combat Suit with his brain but manually, he did not press the stop button. Due to the pain, he lost his balance and remained suspended in mid-air.

Different Pheromones surged through Ruan Chengye's body, his eyes turned bloodshot, Visual Helmet twisted into a ferocious grimace.

Ruan Chengye remained suspended upside down, his brain congested with blood, his hands trembling violently as he clutched his head, trying to scratch his throbbing head, but he didn't even have the strength to remove his helmet, letting out a series of high-pitched screams.

Unable to find liberation.

Well done! (Applause)

[You guessed right, they really were going to use Pheromones on Ruan Chengye]

[Phew (pats chest) (lets out a long sigh of relief) That scared me to death, now I can finally relax]

Evil people will be punished by other evil people.

[Wait, wasn't Ruan Chengye previously immune to everyone's Pheromones? How come Qin Su is?]

[Previously, other people's Pheromones had no effect on Ruan Chengye, entirely because their Pheromone levels weren't high enough! Boss 1's Pheromone level is high enough, even the atrophy and disappearance of Ruan Chengye's Glands are useless.]

[I knew it! How could anyone possibly travel into a comic book or novel? That's just wishful thinking. This local must be mentally unstable.]

"!!!"

As expected of Qin Su, his Pheromones suppressed Ruan Chengye effortlessly!

The students in Class 6 behind them looked shocked.

There are many rumors about Ruan Chengye, the most widespread of which is that Ruan Chengye has a special body and cannot be affected by anyone's Pheromones.

The near-fatal incident just now nearly gave them a heart attack, even if they didn't have heart conditions.

Only Qin Su, who has absolute confidence in his Pheromones, would dare to do that.

Without contact, even if Ruan Chengye was parasitized, the Lasbit Insect on his body could not parasitize Qin Su. (Class 6) The hearts of the students slowly returned to their original positions, and similar thoughts flashed through their minds:

'What Earthling? It's just nonsense about Ruan Chengye's physical mutation leading to mental derangement!'

Having confirmed that Qin Su was out of danger, the Class 6 members finally had the mood to appreciate Ruan Chengye's fate.

Unable to control himself, Ruan Chengye instantly and completely overwhelmed by a terrifying force that left him utterly powerless. Amidst the excruciating pain, his mind was filled with the words "Pheromones," inevitably giving rise to countless thoughts similar to those of the "Viewers."

'It's Pheromones??? He sensed Pheromones!'

'How so?!'

'He's clearly Earthling who's completely unaware of Pheromones!'

'Could it be... just as the world's doctor diagnosed him, that he's merely ill? And that Earthling is just a hallucination?'

'He's actually... a native Interstellar People, but for some unknown reason, he lacks Glands, or his Glands are congenitally atrophied and depleted, making him a born disabled person. This leads to his psychological distortion, causing him to fabricate a non-existent planet to seek spiritual solace? Is his large-scale massacre of normal people also a manifestation of his mental illness?'

'Now, his Glands... are activated? So he can feel the terrifying power of Qin Su's Pheromones?'

'Ugh, why does my whole body feel swollen and itchy?'

It felt as if something was stretching and expanding within Ruan Chengye's limbs, crawling along the texture of his skin, muscles, and blood vessels. This sensation, combined with the pain caused by Qin Su's Pheromones, gradually caused Ruan Chengye to lose his ability to think.

The undeniable facts shook Qin Su's previous belief that he was an Earthling with no sense of Glands.

Ruan Chengye is questioning the meaning of life.

Seeing that Ruan Chengye had been successfully 'deterred', Qin Su concealed his probing and observational emotions with a calm gaze.

Ignore the fact that the barrage of comments had increased to a dense, illegible number due to Ruan Chengye being suppressed by his 'Pheromones,' and the resulting slight increase in Life Points.

Without making a sound, I adjusted the magnification of each camera position on the Visual Helmet to the maximum.

The Gland took ten seconds to erupt and dissipate.

He only had ten precious seconds to observe.

In the high-definition, uncensored footage, Qin Su saw faint, curved black lines in Ruan Chengye's bloodshot eyes as they rolled.

Those black lines slowly wriggled and stretched across his corneal layer... In just five seconds, they moved about one centimeter.

As it crawled, some of the indistinguishable lines pierced the cornea, revealing tiny black dots protruding from the eyeball; others did not pierce it, but merely created a slight bulge on the thin membrane of the eyeball...

Qin Su: "..."

My head is so itchy, I feel like I'm going to get worms.

Although the Glands created would provide some protection to the user, Qin Su himself did not dare to become a "forced recipient" because the final Gland contained too many types of Pheromones.

This was the first time someone had tried out the final product as a 'sensor,' and even though it made his scalp tingle, Qin Su didn't look away.

He had to remember everything he observed, every single reaction of Ruan Chengye, so he could go back and write a report and decide on increasing the dosage.

Ruan Chengye could never have imagined that the Pheromones from the Zerg Glands were greater than Pheromone from the Gland Interstellar People, and that the artificially created Zerg Glands were equally effective on Earthlings.

According to the information revealed in the comments, the people in the Comic World do not believe that Ruan Chengye is an Earthling at all, and only believe that everything is a delusion caused by Ruan Chengye's inability to accept reality due to the atrophy and disappearance of his Glands.

This 'Pheromone' pressure is highly likely to shatter Ruan Chengye's previous self-perception, causing Ruan Chengye to gradually accept the doctor's assessment of him in the Comic World.

Both inside and outside the comics, aside from a few people with unique quirks, most people can't help but deeply despise Ruan Chengye.

In this Comic World where there is no death penalty, no one would not want to see Ruan Chengye die in an extremely painful manner.

A terrorist who is utterly wicked, has carried out terrorist attacks, harmed countless people, and torn thousands of families apart. In the past, no one else's Pheromones could exert any pressure on him.

Now, before him, they were like powerless ants, easily crushed by the Pheromones he released...

These circumstances will not only solidify the Viewers's belief that He Wenyuan and Ruan Chengye's claim that he is Earthling is slander and fabrication, but will also raise expectations for his Pheromone levels.

Given the habits of the Lasbit Insect, coupled with the intracranial high pressure caused by his 'Pheromones', the Lasbit Insect will soon burst out of Ruan Chengye's body.

The Interstellar People had no chance to 'examine' Ruan Chengye's body, and had no way of verifying whether Ruan Chengye's atrophied and degenerated Glands were stimulated and rejuvenated under the influence of his 'powerful Pheromones '.

Ten seconds passed, and the chaotic pain caused by the Pheromones disappeared. However, Ruan Chengye's thoughts were racing wildly due to the stimulation of the nest of parasitic Lasbit Insect in his body, so the pain did not lessen much.

But it's still better than when I'm affected by Pheromones.

Having just regained his remaining thoughts, Ruan Chengye's first action was to look at Qin Su, the source of his pain.

His facial skin twitched and spasmed incessantly, his eyes bloodshot as he struggled to maintain his thoughts. Even though he could no longer see Qin Su clearly, only vaguely making out an outline, he kept murmuring in Qin Su's direction.

"Not from Earthling..."

"None of us are from Earthling... There is no Earth... What is Earth...?"

"You didn't lie to me... no, you lied to me... no, I'm the one who's gone mad... I really am going mad..."

Qin Su lowered his eyes, staring at the upside-down Ruan Chengye, seeing no need to respond to his words.

Ruan Chengye's helmet had already been knocked off by the extreme pain that erupted just ten seconds ago, due to Ruan Chengye's random button presses. Only the leg energy, which had not been manually terminated from 'Hover', remained in operation, keeping Ruan Chengye's body suspended in the air.

Under high magnification, Qin Su could clearly see the subtle curves of the Lasbit Insect protruding from Ruan Chengye's exposed skin.

At this speed, the Lasbit Insect will likely emerge in about seven or eight seconds.

He needed to let Ruan Chengye know the truth before that.

Pulling himself back to reality, Qin Su steered the Warship closer to Ruan Chengye, who was muttering incoherently...

[What is Qin Su doing? Why is he suddenly getting close to a serial killer? Is he out of his mind?]

[What are you worried about? If Su Bao dares to do it, he has absolute confidence.]

[What I'm saying is, is it possible that Qin Su is completely unafraid of the Lasbit Insect, and therefore not afraid of the danger of parasitism?]

[Nonsense]

[How can this be considered nonsense? Have you forgotten how Qin Su suppressed the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows with his Pheromones, leaving them with no way out and making them prey for Abia Firefly?]

[According to what you've said, is Qin Su... a human or an insect?]

[Couldn't it be an existence that crushes humans and insects?]

Qin Su controlled the distance, seemingly getting closer to Ruan Chengye, but actually maintaining a safe distance from being parasitized.

Ruan Chengye's eyes were completely destroyed, and he could no longer see anything, but he could sense danger approaching from his side.

Unfortunately, he has now lost all the strength to resist, and his mind is still stuck in the previous incoherent muttering.

Qin Su turned off Full-Band Communication and the single-person Comic Capture Camera. With his back to the camera of the comic protagonist He Muzhi, he maintained a "head-to-head" position with Ruan Chengye.

They artificially created a sensational 'unsolvable mystery' to shroud themselves in mystery once again.

In the comic strip, Ruan Chengye is upside down with his head facing down, his expression ferocious. Qin Su is facing away from the screen, only his back is visible, and his face is not visible at all.

The scene is bizarre.

I don't understand.

[What must Qin Su say to Ruan Chengye?]

[Could it be... that Ruan Chengye is a puppet secretly controlled by Qin Su?]

Please, there's a limit to how wildly imaginative you can be.

Relying on the fact that no one could see his lip movements and ignoring Ruan Chengye's incoherent speech, Qin Su, after shattering Ruan Chengye's previous understanding and making him accept that he was a mad Interstellar People, decided to ruthlessly destroy the concept that Ruan Chengye had reconstructed.

Qin Su whispered a devilish voice beside Ruan Chengye, revealing the cruel truth. "Actually, He Wenyuan didn't lie to you; I am indeed from Earthling."

"?!"

Ruan Chengye's mind, which was on the verge of disarray due to the worsening parasitic infection, was instantly brought back to normal by those words.

'How is that possible?!'

"I do indeed possess the system you need," Qin Su said, pressing on.

"!"

Ruan Chengye's eyeballs bulged out, and some of the black lines intersecting within them were squeezed out.

Suppressing the horrifying sensation of the Lasbit Insect traversing the human body, Qin Su unleashed his final trump card. "Its name is 777."

This is a secret known only to those Earthling, and it is the most powerful evidence proving his Earthling identity.

Having been fooled to this extent, Ruan Chengye was already short-tempered, was easily enraged with the added buff of the Lasbit Insect parasite.

Having delivered the final, decisive blow, and with Ruan Chengye's expected explosion imminent, Qin Su gracefully withdrew to a safe distance in an instant.

'777!!!'

Not long ago, under the intimidation of Pheromones, he had the thought that he was actually Interstellar People. Now, Qin Su's words were like heavy hammer blows, shattering Ruan Chengye's Dao heart.

The truth and the falsehood were intertwined, and Ruan Chengye, who had been severely stimulated, suddenly showed signs of a final burst of energy. His face turned bright red, the veins on his skin bulged, and his mind was filled with only one thought.

[Qin Su clearly spoke, why isn't it showing?]

Is there anything that a VIP like me can't listen to?

What good does it do the author to be so curious?

'777... He wants to get 777 from Qin Su!'

In this moment, Ruan Chengye's chaotic thoughts cleared like never before, reigniting his fighting spirit. Unable to operate his Combat Suit manually, he could only tremble as he verbally input the commands into the Combat Suit: "Samuel..."

The Combat Suit, which used to respond to the name 'Samuel,' is now completely unresponsive because the helmet fell off and the Combat Suit cannot be fully activated.

Qin Su: "...?"

What does this have to do with Samuel?

Even with his He Muzhi, 500 meters away, couldn't see Qin Su directly; he could only make out Ruan Chengye's facial expression and the movement of his lips.

He Muzhi's pupils widened in shock as he mimicked Ruan Chengye's lip movements and pieced together familiar words.

"???"

This was tantamount to eating melons in one's own backyard. He Muzhi was stunned for a moment, then looked anxiously at Qin Su, afraid that Qin Su would misunderstand Samuel.

The other students in Class 6) also pieced together the answer.

"Huh? What does this have to do with Samuel?"

"I don't know, but Samuel is one of He Muzhi's childhood friends."

"Could Ruan Chengye's escape be related to Samuel? Otherwise, why would he call out Samuel's name?"

"Are you kidding me? If Samuel were capable of abducting a serious Prisoner, would he need He Muzhi to provide him with special Combat Suit?"

"What happened? Did the Class Monitor say something to Ruan Chengye that caused him to call out Samuel's name before he died?"

[Samuel: Me? (points incredulously to himself. jpg) Sometimes it's really helpless to be offline alone (tears)]

[I knew it! He Wenyuan dyed his hair the same color as Samuel and wore pink pupils; it was a conspiracy. He wanted to deliberately incite Qin Su to deal with Samuel so that he could take over and completely replace Samuel.]

[Samuel: May Heaven discern the truth from the falsehood!!]

[... I'm not saying this to be rude, but you guys should probably gouge your eyes out. He Wenyuan once told Ruan Chengye that the voice activation command for his Combat Suit is the three words 'Samuel,' just like how we activate 'Tianx Elf.' However, Ruan Chengye probably thought voice activation was too childish and always operated it manually. Now he's too tired to use voice, so he's finally using it (beads of sweat on his forehead. jpg). But what exactly did Qin Su say that made Ruan Chengye so angry? (curiously touching his chin. jpg)]

[Is this true? Can someone post a screenshot? Otherwise, I'll suspect it's a fabrication.]

[(Witsai screenshot. jpg)]

[6. Yes, there really is!]

Qin Su: "..."

The case is solved. The abstract nature of He Wenyuan is quite disheartening.

Unnoticed by anyone, Ruan Chengye, driven to desperation by Qin Su's rage, continued to painstakingly input voice commands.

"Samuel... Samu-- "

Before the third "Samuel" could be finished, Ruan Chengye let out a piercing scream.

Bang!

Immediately following were the muffled tearing sounds of flesh being 'exploded' from the inside.

Ruan Chengye's skin, which had become extremely red and swollen, cracked in the blink of an eye.

Countless undulating black lines emerged from the red skin, from the pierced eyeballs, and from the mouth, nose, and ears, writhing and twisting as they came into contact with the air.

The bloody and horrifying scene instantly silenced everyone, their minds blank, as they swallowed hard, staring at the terrifying spectacle in the distance.

This was the first time they had faced such a parasitic scenario directly, and it was far more impactful than watching animated images in class.

They felt deeply for the beta soldier and were heartbroken for him.

While they felt that Ruan Chengye deserved it, they also deeply felt the horror of being parasitized by the Lasbit Insect, and their whole bodies went cold from sheer fear.

Qin Su: "..."

Just like in the Real World, some parasites do not cause immediate death when they enter the brain, Lasbit Insect does not cause the host to die immediately upon infestation.

They parasitize the host's body, causing the host to lose consciousness as it is constantly being eaten away, clearly feeling the worms crawling and wriggling in its limbs and bones, and becoming a walking corpse completely controlled by the Lasbit Insect.

Having witnessed Ruan Chengye being physically 'furious' and achieved his goal, Qin Su, before the students could recover from the shock, swiftly turned his back to Ruan Chengye, who was eerily suspended behind him, his remaining consciousness reaching out to him.

He teleported to a spot just a step away from his classmates.

(Class 6 were still in a blank state when they saw Qin Su appear in front of them in an instant.

Qin Su's strong presence drew the attention of the students in Class 6.

Qin Su's eyes were calm, his demeanor composed as if he had seen it all. Clearly, the shocking and terrifying scene behind him had no effect on him.

The students had just turned to look at him when Qin Su calmly stated the facts. "It's over, let's go."

Before anyone could respond, Qin Su, with a calm and collected expression, steered his Warship away from the airspace that everyone had spontaneously cleared, while secretly ordering the stationary and hidden Warships to come towards the direction they had flown.

Having finished fleecing Ruan Chengye, it's time to fleece the Lasbit Insect and the 'apologies'.

"... yes."

"... receive."

Although their voices were somewhat sluggish, their bodies reacted faster than their voices, piloting their Warships to turn and follow Qin Su away.

The person who confronted Ruan Chengye, resolved the issue, spoke unspeakable words to him, and stirred up Ruan Chengye's intense emotions... was Qin Su.

Qin Su was also the one who was quickest to extricate himself from this incident.

The onlookers experienced even greater emotional fluctuations than Qin Su, were more 'immersed' than Qin Su, and were temporarily unable to eliminate the effects of his influence.

The students in Class 6 were filled with mixed feelings and countless thoughts.

In the large comic strip, Qin Su is seen leading a large Warships as they turn back.

Behind the Warship, Ruan Chengye was hanging in the air, with countless sticky, swirling, stretching, and curling black lines crawling all over and devouring his body, while he maintained the scene of reaching out his hand towards the direction away from the Warship.

"..."

The students in Class 6) were unusually silent this time.

Based on their knowledge of the Lasbit Insect's habits from their coursework, once the energy supporting the levitation is exhausted, Ruan Chengye's corpse will, like the beta soldier in the animated image, remain until the last drop of blood and piece of flesh are devoured, before the Lasbit Insect abandons its remains...

Just thinking about that scene gave them goosebumps.

[They left already? The comic shows less than three minutes have passed. Was it resolved that quickly?]

[Otherwise what? Although Ruan Chengye is feared by others, to the Boss 1, Ruan Chengye is no different from an ant, not worth bothering with. He's just someone who's been given a ride.]

[I must say, the artist's skill is superb; the image of Ruan Chengye being hung upside down in the air and allowed to be devoured by the Lasbit Insect... is quite artistic.]

[I think the image of Boss Su with his back to us, level with Ruan Chengye's head while he's hanging upside down, is more artistic. It would be even better if you could tell me that Boss Su said this to Ruan Chengye before he died, which caused such a strong emotional reaction in him.]

Before they returned to their original location, the Class 6 saw a large patch of dark clouds looming over the city in the distance. Because of the great distance, even with their scopes at maximum magnification, they could not see clearly what it was flying towards their current location.

Faced with uncertainty, the students of Class 6) quickly entered a state of combat readiness.

Qin Su stopped at this moment, silently raised his hand, and made a gesture to those behind him to stop passage.

The students in Class 6 followed suit, subconsciously believing that Qin Su was just like them, stopping only because he saw the unknown object in front of him, and temporarily forgetting about the Lasbit Insect that were everywhere below.

"Such a large size, is it some kind of giant insect?"

"Oh no, this looks absolutely terrifying."

Hearing the anxious voices of his classmates behind him, Qin Su reassured them, "Don't worry, we're all on the same side."
