Director, This Script Isn't Right!
Blood and brain matter from the Ashen War Beast splattered onto Jiang You's face. He felt a slight heat in his palm, but he didn't have time to think about why the stone in his hand was getting hot. In a daze, he saw the gray-white giant with half of its body Integration the ground.
The giant's breathing was barely audible, and even his heartbeat only occurred after a long while. If one did not observe carefully, one would not even think that the giant was still alive. Suddenly, Jiang You saw that the giant's eyes seemed to have opened slightly.
Jiang You shook his head and opened his eyes again, only to see the gray-white monster dead in front of him. Its body was lying forward, its head drooping to the ground, making it look as if it were kneeling in front of Jiang You.
Seeing this, Lin Qian realized what was happening and quickly ran away. No matter what, she couldn't let anyone else know about this embarrassing incident.
Jiang You was about to say something when he suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed. He had lost a lot of blood on his way here, enough to take seven days' worth of blood for others. Fortunately, the other teachers arrived quickly and carried him to the school hospital for simple first aid before isolating him, since he had been splattered with a lot of mutated creature blood and brain matter.
On the other side, Kokoro, draped in a black robe, vanished swiftly, evading the search party. Her face was terribly grim. Why had she rushed here immediately after emerging from the subspace? Wasn't it all for the Marshal Magitek Device's nascent beacon?
As she guessed, the situation was a combination of two guesses: the Marshal Magitek Device could not be produced directly, so it split into several larvae. As long as the larvae were nurtured, they could become the real Marshal Magitek Device.
Kokoro sensed one of the closest Marshal Juvenile Beacon and rushed over, only to see Jiang You holding the beacon in front of his body with his hand raised.
The beacon was essentially a login device for a magic network. Although it was quite sturdy— Jiang You could easily tear his shoes and the soles of his feet by stepping on it—the monster was different. With a single pounce and a ramming of its horns, the beacon would most likely shatter.
Therefore Kokoro had no choice but to kill the monster first. However, unexpectedly, the monster's blood triggered some kind of mechanism, and the human successfully fused with the beacon, rendering all her efforts futile.
"Wait, the other Marshal Magitek Device..." The next moment, Kokoro had suicidal thoughts. Originally, even if this beacon didn't exist, there would be others, but just now, the other Marshal Magitek Device beacons all found their owners.
"Damn it, are these beacons even competing with each other?" Kokoro said angrily. Just like that, she had given away most of her magic power. How could she accept this? "No, I have to find a chance to separate the beacons. As long as I study them carefully, I'm sure I can."
These damned beacons all have the ability to recognize a host, but it is undeniable that if the host is not qualified, the beacon can be stripped away. Kokoro cannot tolerate his power being taken over by others.
Jiang You felt that his current situation was somewhat bad. It wasn't that he was physically weak or in pain, but rather that he was too healthy, to the point of being unbelievable.
He could hear even the faintest sounds around him, and his body was constantly receiving various other sensory information. He could clearly feel his own power, a power powerful enough to tear the earth and the sky apart.
But everything seemed to be fixed in place. He could only sense it, but not use it. If that were all, Jiang You could still enjoy the experience. However, deep inside, a voice kept urging him to devour, to fight, to merge with other life forms, and to fill the endless emptiness in his heart.
"Wait a minute, this isn't right!" Jiang You complained. Based on the information gathered by his abnormal senses, he already knew his current situation. He was currently inside a super life form named the Wing-Clipped Angel.
In the underground laboratory not far from him, he could hear every word the scientists said. For example, the grayish-white monster that appeared at the school today was a monster they had created using Wing-Clipped Angel, called the Ashen War Beast.
Shouldn't this be a slice-of-life story for otaku? Although my childhood friend is a bit strange, how did I accidentally become the boss? And why is she called Wing-Clipped Angel? Does she have a leak-proof function?
His mind was filled with all sorts of chaotic thoughts, occasionally accompanied by ideas of fighting, devouring, and merging. Jiang You felt like he was about to go crazy.
Finally, Jiang You felt a sense of detachment. His weakened body was calling to him, and a final voice reached his ears. "Today, the Ashen War Beast at the academy was clearly interested in that boy. Find an opportunity to bring him to the lab; perhaps it can help improve the Ashen War Beast."
"Wait, isn't that me?" Jiang You wanted to hear how the other party planned to get him to the lab, but his consciousness was finally withdrawn.
"Jiang You, you're awake?" A seemingly multi-voiced greeting rang out, causing Jiang You to fully open his eyes. He then saw a girl in a white coat looking at him through a thick layer of glass.
"What's wrong with me..." Jiang You felt dizzy and disoriented. He had lost too much blood, and his consciousness had just returned from the Wing-Clipped Angel, which made him somewhat confused.
"Your body has been splattered with the blood and brain matter of a mutated creature. You are currently undergoing isolation and testing. The results will be available soon. We can only release you once we confirm that you haven't been infected with anything strange." The girl in the white coat was probably around the same age as Soy Sauce, but her tone was mature. If you didn't look at her height and face, you would never guess her real age.
"Is that so?" Jiang You closed his eyes again and fell asleep. When he woke up, he was in an ordinary hospital room. There were many flower baskets sent by his classmates, but the blessings on them were very strange.
"The invincible Jiang You, with his poisonous milk, will live to be a hundred and fight monsters."
"Get well soon, your milk supply is amazing."
"What the hell is this?!" Jiang You wailed. It seemed he couldn't escape the reputation of being a jinx. He was clearly not a jinx; it was all just a coincidence. Yes, that's right, all a coincidence.
"I'm in a regular ward, so it seems I haven't been infected with anything strange. But what do I do next?" Jiang You thought to himself, troubled. The memories of entering the body of the Wing-Clipped Angel were clearly there, which meant that someone really would kidnap him and take him to a laboratory.
"Call the police? I have no proof!" Jiang You dared not say that he had entered the monster's body; that would be suicidal. "Um, wait, what's this?"
