Defeat the system! Kiss my little monster!

Pei Du stopped in front of the villa's gate. Two cameras were installed at the gate, and the surveillance system was functioning normally; no abnormalities were detected.

Only the security cameras inside the villa were all destroyed and turned black.

Pei Du put his phone away, glanced at Gouqiechoing, and said, "I'll go in first, you turn up the lights and follow me. How about that?"

Having chosen such a pathetic existence, it would never be willing to be at the forefront. To prevent it from giving up and turning around to run away, Pei Du simply threw out bait.

The one who was trying to survive had no objections: "Don't worry, you are my host, I won't let you become blind!"

As it spoke, it adjusted the blue light on its body to a suitable brightness.

Pei Du didn't say anything more. He used the key to unlock the door, pushed it open, and went inside.

The room wasn't completely dark. Although Pei Du had drawn all the blackout curtains before leaving, it was midday, and the bright sunlight streaming in from the windows allowed some light to penetrate the curtains.

Pei Du did not close the door. He walked inside, his gaze sweeping over the various devices in the hall.

Sheng Shixian's chair was still in its original position, near the restroom. The handcuffs were broken in two and lay on the ground, the chains on them extremely long, the ends of which had penetrated deep into the restroom, obscuring the exact condition of the items.

Pei Du was surprised that Sheng Shixian could even break the handcuffs. The handcuffs were made of heavy metal and were specially reinforced with thickness, making them difficult for ordinary mutants to break free from, let alone Sheng Shixian, whose hands had limited range of motion.

Floating in the air, barely surviving, the brightness of the blue light kept increasing, illuminating the dim corners more clearly and making the outlines distinct.

Pei Du cautiously walked towards the bathroom. The sound of running water continued inside. Pei Du approached the corner but saw no sign of anyone inside.

Pei Du frowned, hesitated for a few seconds, and then opened the sliding door to the bathroom. The faucet on the sink was running, cold water piling up inside and spilling all over the floor. The glass was cracked all over, and the trash can had been kicked over and was lying on the floor.

There's no one here.

"Knock down."

Two soft tapping sounds came from behind Pei Du, as if intentionally revealing his location. Pei Du tensed up at the sound, turned around, and was suddenly met with a vast expanse of darkness.

"Wow—he's coming!" Gu Qituo screamed as he quickly shifted the direction of the blue light.

Pei Du was hit in the face by a wave of hot air, while Sheng Shixian moved as nimbly as a cheetah. Ignoring the still-healing wound on his leg, he waited in ambush for a long time before suddenly leaping out from the corner of the stairs, tumbling to the ground with Pei Du in tow.

"Sheng Shixian—" Pei Du didn't know what had gotten into Sheng Shixian. After he fell to the ground, he grabbed Sheng Shixian's collar and tightened his grip on his throat.

Sheng Shixian's eyes were bloodshot, with blood vessels running through the whites of his eyes. His face was contorted in shock, his sharp teeth bared, and his armored claws gripped Pei Du's arm tightly.

Pei Du grabbed his neck, and Sheng Shixian, not to be outdone, stretched his neck forward, his throat emitting a low, threatening growl like that of a wild beast.

Pei Du was pinned down by him, and his gaze shifted upwards amidst Sheng Shixian's low growl. Something was moving above Sheng Shixian's head, and Pei Du looked in that direction, his gaze freezing instantly.

Two triangular-shaped things grew on Sheng Shixian's head. They were flesh-colored and looked like newborn buds, trembling in the air.

...It actually grew dog ears?!

Pei Du's grip faltered for a moment, and Sheng Shixian seized the opportunity to grab his neck. After a few seconds of hesitation, he moved his sharp teeth from Pei Du's neck to above and decisively bit a row of bloody marks on Pei Du's ear.

Pei Du groaned, the pain in his ear mixed with a burning sensation, and the next second he began to feel numb and lose consciousness.

Sheng Shixian tasted the blood on his tongue.

Ordinary people bitten by the alien species will also undergo mutation. Sheng Shixian's beast ears twitched twice, and he wanted Pei Du to be like him.

That way he won't always be thinking about going out, and he won't come back smelling like a bunch of strangers.

They will be of the same kind and will flee together in the future.

For a moment, Pei Du's mind went blank. Sheng Shixian bit his skin and wouldn't let go, and Pei Du couldn't pull him away.

The creature, Gouqie Tousheng, anxiously circled in the air. Pei Du gestured for it to come over, and Gouqie Tousheng quickly floated over.

"What should I do? How are you feeling? I..."

Pei Du seized the opportunity to survive, and without thinking, he used its body to smash Sheng Shixian's temple.

"Bang—" The sound of something shattering came from the air.

Sheng Shixian's head was buzzing. He was dizzy for a while before finally letting go and collapsing to the ground along with Gouqie Tiaosheng.

Pei Du also breathed a sigh of relief. He leaned against the floor, exhausted, and touched the side of his ear. Crimson blood clung to the skin of his palm against the pale background, the red liquid glaringly obvious.

After Sheng Shixian fainted, his head was still pressed against Pei Du's chest. Pei Du's fingertips ran through his black hair and touched the two beast ears on his head.

It has just grown out and doesn't have much hair yet. It feels soft and delicate to the touch.

Pei Du withdrew his hand, flipped Sheng Shixian aside, and carried the malfunctioning, haphazardly living person to the sofa.

The blue light on the sphere had dimmed considerably, but its appearance remained unchanged. Pei Du casually placed it next to the charger and rummaged through his old clothes for the potion.

Pei Du pulled up his sleeve, and the veins on his forearm had begun to change color, turning a reddish tinge resembling a mutation.

The medicine that Director Gong Yuanshen had given him earlier hadn't been used yet. Pei Du inserted the needle into his vein, and the medicine was pushed into the vein by the force. After a while, the color of Pei Du's vein changed from red back to blue.

Pei Du is not someone who can be infected.

He was originally a mutant.

After being bitten by his mother, Pei Du had already undergone mutation.

It's just that the mutation isn't very obvious.

Pei Du threw the empty syringe into the trash can. These concealing agents were of little use to Pei Du, but they could certainly reduce a lot of trouble.

Pei Du leaned back on the sofa, looked at Sheng Shixian who was still lying on the floor, and took out the gag from the drawer.

He had many gags at home, made of metal, rubber, wood...

Sheng Shixian might prefer something a bit harder.

*

Pei Du handcuffed Sheng Shixian back to the old spot. After growing beast ears, Sheng Shixian's various physical functions would be multiplied, so Pei Du dared not let him move around freely anymore.

It's safer for him to be tied up.

Pei Du applied medicine to his wound. Fortunately, Sheng Shixian hadn't bitten him too hard, otherwise Pei Du would have been torn to shreds.

Pei Du put away the ointment and turned to look at Sheng Shixian, whose eyes were closed and whose body was curled up on the sofa.

His right knee bandage was covered in blood seeping from it, a testament to the fact that he risked losing his leg to take a bite out of Pei Du.
