Earthworm

Situ Xun's expression was solemn. "Although Forbidden Island was directly pushed onto the mainland after the earthquake, its current location is in the center of over a dozen countries. It's heavily guarded, equipped with the highest technology in protective shields and city defense weapons. The entire island is guarded by A-class or higher ability users mutated into monsters, along with successfully tested experimental subjects from the past, who also serve as part of the island's defense force.

Forget breaking in, most people can't even get close!"

"Didn't you get in?"

Jiang You's gaze was fixed directly on Situ Xun, and the surrounding voices suddenly fell silent.

A trace of bitterness flashed across Situ Xun's aged face. "Ever since I concealed the opening of the Abyss entrance and secretly facilitated the sacrifice ritual, I've been removed from Forbidden Island's list. It's impossible for me to enter again. Unless..."

Wang Qichuan hurriedly pressed, "Unless what?"

Jiang You's crimson lips curved slightly upwards, her voice carrying a hint of coldness. "Unless you can offer a pledge of allegiance..."

Upon hearing this, Situ Xun looked up in disbelief, his eagle-like eyes exuding a sharpness that could be felt even through the screen.

"What do you want to do?"

His voice was somewhat slow and trembling.

Impossible, it couldn't be what he was thinking.

No matter how crazy this brat was, she wouldn't go to such lengths.

He stared intently at Jiang You, waiting for her next answer.

"Using me as the pledge of allegiance might be able to open the doors of Forbidden Island. Let's see if you dare to use yourselves as bait. Go and offer this pledge of allegiance..." Jiang You's words were indifferent and chilling.

Using her as a pledge of allegiance?!

Did she know what she was saying?!

A chill involuntarily rose in everyone's hearts.

Everyone knew Jiang You acted ruthlessly, but no one expected her to be so ruthless towards herself.

"You, you're willing to sacrifice yourself for everyone..."

Seeing that Jiang You actually had such resolve, Situ Xun's old eyes welled up with tears.

Everyone was at a loss for what to think.

"Good child, I, this old man, misunderstood you. I never expected you to have such a heart for righteousness. Rest assured, after you die, I will tell every survivor of Great Xia about your selfless contribution to Great Xia... I..."

"What are you thinking?"

Jiang You rolled her eyes at the elder who was so overcome with emotion that he was almost kneeling before her.

She directly interrupted him.

"If I need to sacrifice myself for everyone to survive, then you all might as well die. I'm not Mo Fei; I don't have such noble sentiments."

The sorrow on Situ Xun's face froze instantly, while Long Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Qichuan showed an expression of "just as I expected." He knew Jiang You wouldn't sacrifice herself to fulfill others' wishes.

In that brief moment, seeing Jiang You embodying such righteousness, his spine had crawled with goosebumps.

If Jiang You were truly willing to sacrifice herself, it would only prove one thing: this thing before him wasn't Jiang You at all, but a monster wearing human skin that had crawled out of the Abyss!

As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Qichuan's goosebumps strangely disappeared.

Thankfully, Jiang Gouzi was still the same Jiang Gouzi, the same old formula!

"But how will you fool them with a fake corpse? Forbidden Island's technology is far beyond Hope Base. We don't have any technology that can deceive them?"

"Only the truth is impeccable. Even the most perfect forgery can't withstand scrutiny. Situ Xun, I want you to take my head and use it as the pledge of allegiance to enter Forbidden Island."

"Long Luo, you and Sansheng create a small device in the shortest possible time and embed it in my teeth. After entering Forbidden Island, it can interfere with Forbidden Island's central control system as quickly as possible."

Once their defense mechanism was breached, they would be close to death.

If she could destroy Forbidden Island once, she could destroy it a second time!

This time, she wanted not a single survivor left in that place, for it to disappear from the world completely!

The grievances of two lifetimes were about to be settled.

Wang Qichuan nodded. "I have a say in this. Sometimes, the more advanced the technology, the more prone it is to glitches."

Jiang You glanced at him. "Shut up."

She continued, "Number Nine City, I heard you have mecha warriors?"

Wang Qichuan remained silent; Jiang You had just told him to shut up.

So, this question fell to the Li family head and the Zhang family head. The Li family head looked around.

The cost of these mechas was exorbitant. The Li family head had a premonition of bleeding, and not just a little. She wasn't that stingy, but Jiang You was asking for too much.

However, it seemed like she couldn't refuse now, so she gave a meaningful look to the Zhang family head, who had been acting like a mute quail.

The Zhang family spoke, "Yes, there are a total of three hundred and sixty-two mechas!"

Jiang You: "Give them all to Forbidden Island as compensation!"

"All, all of them?"

The three of them looked at her simultaneously.

They thought Jiang You just wanted them to bleed heavily, but they didn't expect this woman to go straight for their kidneys!

"Yes, leave no one behind."

"Then our main defensive force will be even weaker. What if they break through?"

"Then you're out of luck."

The three family heads were speechless.

After a brief silence, Wang Qichuan suddenly spoke, "You said you'd take my head just now?"

Jiang You replied, "Yes."

"...How?"

"Just like this..."

Slash!

Jiang You didn't explain. She directly plunged a saber into her own throat and sliced it across.

Blood instantly dyed the camera lens red. The people on the screen leaned closer in shock, their eyes widening.

"Jiang You!!" Long Luo exclaimed.

"Why is she suddenly committing suicide!"

But the next second, they saw the head in Jiang You's hand rapidly decay into a pool of blood.

At the severed end of her neck, flesh and blood churned, and red threads surged.

A scene that made their scalps tingle appeared.

She... she had actually grown a new head.

The sight was incredibly bizarre, and everyone felt the air around them grow cold.

Long Luo quickly told Sansheng to turn on the lights.

A few minutes later, Jiang You, with her new head, twisted her neck.

"Do you know about earthworms? If they're cut into two pieces, they can grow into two completely independent individuals. I'm not that monstrous; if I'm cut in half, only one of me will survive.

However, fortunately, I can decide which side survives..."

And that's not monstrous?!

This was truly a pervert among perverts!

Situ Xun, being old and wise, understood Jiang You's meaning in an instant.

"Because of the fire seed, Forbidden Island must have been prepared for you long ago, so the living you couldn't enter. But they definitely wouldn't have imagined that the fire seed's ability would be so monstrous.

So you want to use your own head to sneak into Forbidden Island and then regrow.

And then Sansheng will interfere with their protective shield!

A good plan, a truly cruel and inhumane plan!

Then what about Number Nine City's mecha warriors? Are we just going to give them away for nothing?"

Jiang You smiled. "Why not give them away? If our sincerity isn't enough, the other side won't let down their guard. It's just that these mechas need a little modification. We'll discuss these details later."

She glanced around at everyone. "So, next, we need to suffer some defeats."

"Dawn Tower will resist stubbornly, Hope Base will suffer heavy losses, and Number Nine City will be destroyed. We need to show them our despair, show them that we have no other way to retreat. Only then will they believe in our willingness to surrender."

No one present was foolish. Jiang You didn't need to explain the rest.

The three families of Number Nine City lamented, "Why does it feel like we're the ones getting hurt the most..."

Situ Xun gave a wry smile. "There's no need to pretend. Hope Base is already on the verge of collapse. Food and weapons within the city are being rapidly depleted. If they can't break in, trapping us inside is only a matter of time..."

Sansheng: [According to calculations, the success rate of this plan is only 30%.]

Jiang You said, "The success rate is a bit low. Are you still going through with it?"

Number Nine City replied, "We'll do it!"

Hope Base said, "We'll treat this like a dead horse and try to revive it!"

Long Luo added, "Sansheng's probability calculation is wrong. When something begins, there are only two outcomes: success and failure. So the probability should be 50% for each."
