I'm a Monster Too

When Jiang You opened his eyes, the girl in the white coat appeared in front of him again. She was carrying a document board and writing and drawing on it with a pen, occasionally glancing up at Jiang You.

"Oh, it's you. If you wanted to find me, you could have just sent someone to let me know..." Jiang You initially thought it was about the quarantine and testing at the gathering place, but then he realized that something was wrong. He was bound to a laboratory table and couldn't move. When the man next to the girl in the white coat spoke, Jiang You felt even more that something was amiss.

"A Yuan, how does the comparison go?" Li Ou asked, squinting his eyes.

"There's nothing particularly different from the previous blood draw," said A Yuan, the girl in the white coat, expressionlessly. "On his right scapula, we found a birthmark, and upon comparison, I discovered that the color of that birthmark is exactly the same as the color of the Wing-Clipped Angel's."

"But he didn't have this mark before," A Yuan said.

"His blood can improve and stabilize the gray-white Ashen War Beast, which means he does have an effect on them, but he is not qualified yet." Li Ou looked at Jiang You as if he were looking at a treasure.

"So we need to help him grow and bring the stuff over!" Li Ou said to the other side, and then saw two researchers wearing masks carrying a large barrel over, a fishy smell emanating from the barrel.

Then one of the researchers used a graduated cylinder to take something out of it. Jiang You recognized the substance; it was a mixture of blood and brain matter, and a nauseating smell wafted over. Another researcher used a device to pry open Jiang You's mouth and force the blood and brain matter into it.

With his body immobilized, Jiang You couldn't move at all. He could only let those disgusting things enter his stomach. He wanted to vomit, but his mouth was covered, forcing him to swallow them.

"Give him a check-up every now and then to see if there are any changes!" Li Ou instructed, then went to check on the progress of other experiments.

Meanwhile, the fusion progress on Jiang You's panel slowly increased, and Jiang You once again sensed the presence of the Wing-Clipped Angel. That feeling of tearing everything apart and devouring everything surged into his heart again, only this time he was not inside the monster's body.

Next came various tests, which yielded truly effective results. The stabilizer made from Jiang You's blood allowed the Ashen War Beast to be further improved. As a result, Jiang You was then fed a large amount of the Ashen War Beast's blood and brain matter, and even immersed in it entirely.

[Integration Progress: 20%]

Jiang You, his eyes somewhat vacant, glanced at the notification box. He felt a slight itch on his right shoulder, while the underground laboratory was also facing difficulties.

"Based on the feeding schedule over this period, his blood stability has not improved any further. I believe the Ashen War Beast's enhancement of him has reached its peak." A Yuan, holding the report, said without any change in his expression, "I think he needs a greater catalyst."

"We've tested it; feeding him blood or brain matter doesn't actually affect his improvement. The catalyst he needs is a special substance inside the Ashen War Beast, something belonging to the Wing-Clipped Angel."

"Then inject him with the blood Extraction from the Wing-Clipped Angel. Be careful with the dosage; I don't want this precious experimental subject to die!" Li Ou nodded, agreeing to the plan.

Jiang You was then pulled from the blood mixture, given a simple clarification, and then pushed naked onto the experimental table, where he was firmly bound by various restraints and iron hoops.

A grayish-white, ominous liquid was placed in a vessel. Jiang You's mouth was forcibly opened, and the grayish-white liquid poured down his throat. The fusion rate on Jiang You's panel rapidly increased, quickly reaching 35%, and was still rising.

"Ugh..." Jiang You struggled desperately. The pain of being tortured at will as an experimental subject was one aspect, but even more so, he was experiencing various pains and numbness in his right shoulder.

Finally, with a whooshing sound, pure white wings unfurled, and the wings composed of bone swords easily sliced the experimental table in two. Jiang You's right arm also quickly secreted a white substance, forming an exoskeleton.

The exoskeleton covering his right hand transformed into a claw, and a slicing sound came from his wrist as a pure white bone sword shot out from above his wrist, piercing through a researcher who was observing nearby.

Then the Sword Bone was retracted, and a white bone scimitar popped out from the side of his right hand, cutting the restraints. Jiang You sat up from the experimental table. His upper right body was now completely covered by an exoskeleton, even his face, which was covered by a white bone mask.

The frenzied fighting and devouring thoughts in his mind had taken over. The bone sword sprang out from above his wrist again, severing the bindings on his feet. Jiang You slowly stood up from the experimental table.

The researchers had already retreated outside the laboratory. Li Ou, his face grim, said, "Release the laboratory's internal anesthetic gas and increase the dosage. His physical mutation may be quite severe. Also, notify the security team."

The laboratory door was locked. On the other side, people could see inside through one-way reinforced glass, where white gas was rapidly ejected.

After Jiang You stood up from the laboratory, his eyes were fixed on the glass. Even though he knew the other person couldn't see through him, the person behind the glass still felt a sense of dread, as if being stared at by a ferocious beast.

The color of half of his skeleton also changed slightly, turning grayish-white. The single wing on his back unfolded, and Jiang You leaped directly off the experimental table, crashing into the glass. His fist, encased in the exoskeleton, slammed into the glass, causing the entire laboratory to shake.

However, the laboratory was designed with the possibility of the experimental subject going out of control in mind. The glass used is a special reinforced glass, which ensures its strength. Those inside the laboratory breathed a sigh of relief. All that was left was to wait for the experimental subject to be anesthetized.

The next moment, a bone sword suddenly protruded, then retracted and pierced out from another location, shattering several holes in the glass. White mist of anesthetic gushed out from the breaches, and Jiang You walked out of the laboratory.

His eyes, filled with rage, scanned the people wearing gas masks who were fleeing towards the exit. With a slight flap of his bone wings, he chased after them at incredible speed. His bone sword swept across, easily slicing a person in half at the waist. Jiang You quickly searched for more targets.

Meanwhile, in another part of the laboratory, the Wing-Clipped Angel, who had been sleeping with its head bowed, slightly opened its eyes, and its bone wings on its back twitched slightly.

I've been in terrible shape these past few days, often updating until the early hours of the morning. I can't take it anymore, I need to adjust my sleep schedule. I'll update four times tomorrow to make up for the 100 monthly votes.
