Number 008: Three Corpses.

Vampire Potion No. 2 transformation, initial testing site: South Bay Port District Factory.

Subject: a boy who had just turned sixteen.

The ingredients of Vampire Potion No. 2 included the chopped-up limbs of the boy's parents.

His father had leukemia, and his mother had been diagnosed with cancer two years earlier. Only the son had been physically healthy.

When the three reappeared, they were all dead. The parents had been dead for over twenty-four hours, while the son had been dead for exactly twelve.

Experimental subject: the son. The target regained vital signs after half an hour, but suffered a degree of mental disorder.

It was suspected that the potion contained the parents' brains, causing the son to possess three personalities to a certain extent.

At the same time, Number 008 underwent varying physical changes under different personalities.

In his adult male state, Number 008's abilities could be brought to their fullest extent, and his appearance most closely resembled that of the Blood Clan.

In his teenage state, Number 008 could only use half his abilities, and his traits only displayed half those of the Blood Clan.

In his adult female form, Number 008 lost all abilities, and every trait was no different from that of a normal human.

Number 008's abilities included, but were not limited to, controlling blood flow within a sixty-meter radius centered on himself.

He possessed limited flight capability and could emit sound waves exceeding 200 decibels, enough to destroy a normal person's auditory system.

At the same time, Number 008 possessed an extremely rapid rate of cell division and regeneration.

His cells had no theoretical limit to their division and possessed the potential for infinite proliferation.

Tests showed that even if Number 008's limbs were severed, they could grow back, though it took time.

If the severed limbs were reattached directly, they could heal instantly.

From this, it could be concluded that Number 008 possessed the biological concept of immortality and eternal youth.

Furthermore, Number 008's blood possessed an extremely strong aggressiveness, or rather, infectivity.

If Number 008's blood came into contact with a normal person's body or blood, it could instantly erode and transform their body, including their blood.

This was similar to Number 002 Fishman's ability to transform followers.

However, those transformed by Number 008 could only obtain part of his abilities, though they could perfectly inherit his powerful erosion and transformation ability.

But if the transformed continued transforming others, the effect of the transformation would gradually weaken.

After more than nine generations, the cells would even lose their ability to transform.

Additionally, Number 008 experienced varying degrees of physical weakening in different forms.

In his adult male state, Number 008 was extremely afraid of sunlight. This was similar to Number 003 Invisible Man, possibly because his skin lacked melanin.

In his teenage state, Number 008 merely showed weakness under sunlight and did not feel pain.

In his adult female state, Number 008 could completely ignore sunlight.

Remaining information pending completion...

South Bay Port.

Chen Ye recorded Number 008's information inside a factory.

The successful experiment with the Vampire Potion had also brought success to Chen Ye's Biological Factory experiment. An individual capable of endlessly dividing itself had been created by Chen Ye.

Of course, that individual was not Number 008.

"Essentially, what truly caused the Vampire Potion to take shape should have been the cancer cells inside that woman's body."

"Of course, the father with leukemia may also have had some degree of influence."

"Number 002 really did find me something like this."

That day, Li Yuan had said he found Chen Ye some excellent experimental materials.

When Chen Ye arrived and saw them, well, there were three corpses.

And they were a family of three.

According to Li Yuan, Number 008's parents had died in a car accident, while the boy had accidentally fallen to his death while going downstairs.

That was what he said.

But in truth, all three had been killed by Li Yuan.

Chen Ye did not care about that. He was only wondering why the rare materials these people brought him were always corpses.

Last time, Queen Bee had brought him a Living Dead, which was one thing. This time, Li Yuan had brought him three properly dead corpses.

"Whatever. At least the experiment succeeded, so I'll count it as a merit for him."

As Chen Ye spoke, he picked up another document. "Looking at it this way, the failure of the No. 1 reagent was not without reason."

"Living creatures contain multiple traits. Take bats, for example. Their existence does not inherently represent vampires, but rather the concept of sound waves."

"And using Number 002's blood and salamanders, two marine creatures, as materials, it wouldn't be impossible for a merman to emerge in conjunction with the concept of sound waves."

But it had been so long. Why was there still no movement from Sequence 007 Siren?

It was impossible that she dared disobey Chen Ye's orders.

So, had she been captured?

Thinking that, Chen Ye shook his head and marked an X behind Sequence 007's file.

Somewhere in the ocean.

Siren chewed on kelp as she stared at the sky. "So where exactly is this? Why does it feel like I'm swimming farther and farther away..."

"I really did swim in the wrong direction, didn't I?"

Thinking that, Siren collapsed onto a reef.

I'm exhausted...

Why is swimming still so tiring even after I turned into a fish?

Well, if I keep swimming like this, I'll see land someday. But who knows how long that'll take.

In this vast ocean, she did not even have a compass. It was entirely possible that she had spent the past half month swimming in circles.

Once, Siren had finally spotted a ship, so she sang a song to draw its attention.

Before long, the ship sank.

To this day, Siren had not encountered a second ship.

And there was a reason for that. Before the fishing vessel sank, the only person still conscious aboard had transmitted footage of Siren to nearby fishing boats.

In the footage, people began slaughtering one another after hearing the song. They used awls to destroy the engine and even crazily damaged the hull, ultimately causing the entire ship to sink.

After the footage spread, nearby ships were so frightened that they immediately turned around, terrified of ending up like the previous vessel.

After returning to land, they immediately reported the matter to their respective countries.

Some quicker-reacting countries immediately established departments to handle supernatural incidents, and even dispatched fleets and submarines to search for Fishmen.

But they soon received a call from an organization somewhere in Asia.

"If you value your lives, do not attempt to search for any Fishmen."

"At least while you still cannot see them, you are safe. Do not doubt it. We understand them better than you do."

But unfortunately, this call from Asia failed to stop them.

Because they were free, unrestrained, and undefined. Even though their countries' death rates increased every year, they did not care.

In pursuit of the truth, they decided to carry their death-seeking through to the end.

But in fact, they did not need to work so hard to find them.

Because Number 008 was already on his way.

Number 008 greatly yearned for the freedom of their country. He believed it suited him better there.

On a flight to North America, a white-haired boy smiled as he looked out the window. "I'm really looking forward to it—my first trip abroad in my life."
