Items not obtained through system draws cannot be brought into the mission world, not even a pair of underwear or a piece of toilet paper.

This means that if Russell were to transplant two Sharingan, his two eye sockets would become empty when he enters the next mission world. At best, the Sharingan would be like ordinary eyes, unable to use any fancy abilities.

In fact, even if the Sharingan could be carried to other mission worlds, Russell had no intention of transplanting it. Without Chakra, the Sharingan is at best a chuunibyou's colored contact lens.

After dealing with the two teams of Reincarnator, it was time for Russell's favorite part: Corpse Touching. Of the 18 Reincarnator, excluding the two captains' bound Space Ring and those damaged by sword energy, a total of 6 intact Space Bag were found.

A few scattered blood-nourishing and qi-tonifying pills, essential life-saving supplies for Reincarnator. Russell had chicken legs and meat buns, so he looked down on these weakened versions of blood-nourishing pills, but even a mosquito bite is still meat, so he still put them into his Space Ring.

Shaolin Minor Vitality Pill

"It's a good thing, but I don't have internal energy and don't need to open my meridians, so it's useless to me."

[Ten boxes of Muscle Softening Powder]

"Ten boxes... Damn it, the Main God Space sells pirated goods? Throw them away!"

I Love a Firewood.

"Pah, who's so vulgar as to bring something like this into Team Battle? Throw it... into your Space Ring. This thing is extremely harmful and detrimental to the healthy growth of teenagers. To prevent it from falling into the wrong hands, I must personally guard it."

Tao Te Ching

"Holy crap, that's awesome!?"

"Uh, the 2010 revised edition published by the Education Press, I threw it away."

[The Twenty-One Great Swords: Autumn Water]

"This is good. I'm in need of a suitable weapon, so I'll make do with this."

After sorting through the six Space Bag, Russell was still not satisfied. Unable to trigger the lottery, he stubbornly turned his attention to the corpses of the gaunt man Wind Dragon. As the team leaders, among the 18 Reincarnator, their Space Ring were undoubtedly the most valuable.

The Space Ring is bound and cannot be opened by anyone other than the owner, but Russell has a Skill Card that allows him to Corpse Touching, which can come in handy at this time.

One "Corpse Touching" Skill Card, two corpses...

After some deliberation, Russell chose the emaciated man's corpse. This guy had two Mangekyo and carried spare Three Tomoe with him, undoubtedly a tycoon. There must be other good things in his Space Ring.

"System, use 'Skill Card: Corpse Touching'."

[Skill Card: Corpse Touching (To be honest, nobody knows what you'll find)]

After using the Skill Card, Russell followed his body's instincts and performed some inexplicable actions. He squatted down next to the emaciated man's corpse and rubbed his hands back and forth. After three seconds, as if a loading bar had been cast, a silver-gray metal briefcase appeared on the emaciated man's corpse.

"This trademark, I hope, isn't the one I imagined..."

The red and white umbrella-shaped logo on the suitcase was striking and glaring, making Russell's eyelids twitch. Opening the suitcase, a cool, refrigerated vent wafted out, revealing a sealed tube of double-helix medicine in the center.

[Bite!]

[Host has come into contact with the T-Virus, triggering Lottery Draw. Do you wish to draw a prize now?]

Russell: "..."

Normally, this kind of lottery will only draw the T-Virus, so the question is, should you draw or not?

Russell thought about it calmly for a moment, and finally decided to draw a prize!

The T-Virus is like Pandora's box, unleashing irreversible and devastating catastrophes that could easily destroy a human civilization. But mission worlds are incredibly diverse, and no one can predict what they might encounter. If one finds themselves alone on an alien or monster homeworld, the T-Virus can serve as a trump card.

As expected, after the lottery was started, Russell obtained the T-Virus Item Card.

[Item Card: T-Virus (Smash the test tube to achieve the global kill achievement)]

After looting the corpses, Russell cleaned up the battlefield, found Captain Fan Bo's body, and buried it in the rubble. He did some simple treatment on the other Reincarnator's bodies, and also took a well-preserved black combat suit from them. It was stab-proof, bulletproof, shock-absorbing, and pressure-resistant—truly a product of the Main God, of very reliable quality.

The only drawback was that Russell's body type didn't match the deceased's; he could only barely fit into the shirt, and the pants were impossible for him to get on.

"Sigh, it's those long legs that are to blame again!"

Jason: (._.)

"What are you looking at? You're only 17cm taller than me..."

Motel!

Russell found an unnamed hotel to stay in. He was alone and less conspicuous, so he could keep a low profile and avoid attracting attention, unlike the other reincarnation teams who had to hide and sleep in tents.

Russell didn't seek out Fatty and Bai Niao. His mission came from the system; joining the team was a plot trigger, not a responsibility to the main god. Therefore, he didn't need to complete the mission as a team with Fatty and Bai Niao.

The God's Team Battle rules are based on a point system. Killing a Reincarnator from another team earns one point, while losing a member of your own team deducts one point. Scores are tallied after seven days, with one point equivalent to 1000 Reward Points. Wiping out an entire team grants an extra side quest reward. The team with the highest score wins the Team Battle, while the others are rewarded or penalized according to their scores.

If Reincarnator has too many negative points and is unable to bear the deduction of points, then I'm sorry, they will explode on the spot before returning to the Main God Space!

Russell's system doesn't have so many rules. There are no Reward Points or penalties, and no side quests are given for wiping out the entire party. It only counts the number of kills.

He has already racked up 22 kills: 3 people with black face, yellow face, and kidney deficiency; 18 people he eliminated using the Ximen Chuixue Character Card; and 1 sniper whose head was removed by Jason.

Russell didn't know how many Reincarnator participated in this Team Battle, nor did anyone else, but in Team Battle mode, the closer to the end, the fewer teams survive. As long as he could rack up 50 kills, victory would be practically guaranteed.

One night passed, and it was now the third day of the Team Battle.

Although Jason doesn't speak or think about countermeasures, he doesn't need to eat, drink, or sleep, and he doesn't complain about being oppressed or not getting paid. Russell assigned him the night watch, and he slept soundly until dawn.

While he was taking care of his personal needs in the bathroom, death struck a second time!

Unlike the time he was in a daze and got into a car accident, this time Russell sensed a black shadow through his Magic Power, as if a curtain had fallen and the surrounding light had suddenly dimmed.

"Could this be the death aura that people always talk about?"

He sat on the toilet, raised an eyebrow at the suddenly dimmed light, and heard the pattering of water. The showerhead and faucet were tightly shut, and the sound came from the broken toilet inlet pipe.

Russell's face darkened, his eyebrows furrowed like silkworms, and his face turned as red as a jujube. He grunted as he finished his business, then picked up a stack of toilet paper and placed it in the path of the flowing water.

In subsequent Final Destination films, the signs of Death's appearance became increasingly difficult to discern, but the first film's plane crash did offer some clues, such as shadows and flowing water. The flowing water, in particular, was always present alongside Death's appearance.

"So, what happens when you block the flow of water..."

Seeing the water flow over the toilet paper and continue forward, Russell sneered, used the paper to wipe his buttocks, and maliciously placed it in the path the water was bound to take.

Water flow. "..."

I don't know if it was just my imagination, but the water seemed to pause for a moment before it soaked the toilet paper and continued to flow.

"Such low moral character is something I'd rather avoid!"

Russell chuckled sinisterly, then opened another sheet of toilet paper and placed it in front of the running water, then another, then two, then three, and so on... That was it, or he'd bleed profusely.

A neatly arranged sheet of toilet paper lay ahead of the path the water flowed through. Russell pulled up his pants and stared intently, eagerly anticipating what would happen next. Whether Death was a pre-programmed killer or an individual with its own will depended on how it dealt with the toilet paper.

Rumble—

An earthquake struck, the building jolted, and the water flow changed course, bypassing all the toilet paper.

Russell: "..."

Coincidence or something else?

If it wasn't a coincidence, then Russell could only say he made a brilliant mistake, forcibly feeding Death shit, and he actually succeeded!

The water continued to flow stubbornly forward. Russell looked in that direction and saw a bar of soap on the middle floor tile, with a washbasin at the very front.

Soap, ceramic sink, glass mirror, disposable toothbrushes, plus a hair dryer...

"What kind of death is this? Are you underestimating me?"

Russell shook his head. With his Magic Power perception, Death's sinister aura was far too conspicuous. No wonder Fan Bo and the others didn't take Death seriously; those Reincarnator and enhanced their mental perception were able to avoid Death's traps in advance.

"Is it really just a program?"

Russell hesitated for a moment, then, seeing the water overflowing the soap, he got up, pushed open the door, and called out, "Jason, there's a bar of soap on the floor. Come and step on it."
