Pei Du received a call from Qi Sheng on Wednesday. Qi Sheng's voice was languid as he asked about Pei Du's condition as usual.

The red veins on Pei Du's arm were already visible, and he took a picture and sent it to Qi Sheng.

"The reagents in the lab are ineffective, so bring more medicine with you."

"Tsk tsk... How could it be so serious?" Qi Sheng asked Pei Du in surprise upon receiving the photos.

Pei Du said, "Sheng Shixian bit me before, and I guess the poison is still in my body."

"What was the point of bringing him back before? You heartless bastard." Qi Sheng got into the car, his voice lowered, coming through the microphone, "I'll be there soon."

Pei Du put down his phone and looked up at the second floor. The figures were hidden in the shadows, the curtains inside the room were half-drawn, and the shadows concealed their motionless forms.

Pei Du withdrew his gaze and continued to doze off on the sofa.

About half an hour later, the doorbell rang outside the villa.

Pei Du opened his eyes, got up and opened the door, where he saw Qi Sheng standing outside with a medical kit on his back. Perhaps because he had rushed over, there was a thin layer of cold sweat on his forehead.

"You always have to call me over at this time, don't you? This time you have to give me at least three times my salary!" Qi Sheng said irritably, walking straight to the table. "Hold out your hand so I can see it."

Pei Du closed the door after he came in. He glanced outside but didn't see anyone else.

Ling Yu may be hiding somewhere else.

Pei Du sat down opposite Qi Sheng and reached out his hand, seeing that Qi Sheng had already pushed the medicine into the syringe.

The slender needle gleamed coldly under the light. Pei Du stretched out his arm, and Qi Sheng injected the liquid from the syringe into his bloodstream.

Seeing this, even the cowardly creature emitted a blue light on Pei Du, counteracting the side effects of the potion.

Pei Du watched Qi Sheng's actions in silence. Just as Qi Sheng pulled the needle out, Pei Du suddenly reached out his hand towards Qi Sheng's face.

"You should eat less after you get the injection... What are you doing?" Qi Sheng reacted quickly. Pei Du's fingers were only millimeters away from his face. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Pei Du's wrist.

"It's nothing, your skin is cracked." After saying that, Pei Du suddenly exerted force with his wrist. His nails, which he had specially grown for a few days, were sharp and pointed, and he used them to forcefully scratch several bloody marks on Qi Sheng's face.

Qi Sheng winced in pain, shoved Pei Du away, and covered his left cheek with one hand. His face was split open, and dark red blood trickled down from the tear.

Qi Sheng glanced at the bloodstains on his hands, then let go, allowing the skin on his face to peel off, revealing the wrinkled skin underneath, burned by sulfuric acid and intense fire.

"Haha... Pei Du, you've noticed." Qi Sheng walked step by step towards Pei Du. One half of his face was handsome, a bright and youthful face. The other half of his face was grotesque, with black and red flesh partially exposed from under the torn skin, like a vengeful ghost who had died unjustly somewhere.

"How did you find out? Was it because I didn't act well?" Qi Sheng's voice changed several times before finally turning into a low voice filled with phlegm.

Pei Du smiled faintly at him and said, "Yan Xuwen, you acted very well. What do you want by my side? To let your pig tail grow back?"

Yan Xuwen's expression, which had been calm, instantly crumbled upon hearing Pei Du's words. "Pei Du, you're nothing but a beast pretending to be human! What are you pretending for?!"

When Pei Du saw him take out a pistol, he instinctively stepped back.

"Why did I come to your side? Ha, tell me why?" Yan Xuwen stared at Pei Du, whose appearance was seven or eight parts similar to his father's. When Yan Xuwen looked at him, it was as if he were seeing his father.

“If I grow a pig’s tail, you’ll have to too.” Yan Xuwen’s voice was icy. “I’ve been treating you all these years. Do you know how much your body has mutated? Pei Du, how could I bear to kill you if I didn’t kill you? You—will have to be like me.”

Only in this way will Yan Xuwen feel at ease.

Pei Yuan had brought him to this state, and Yan Xuwen couldn't get revenge on a dead man like him. So he would take his revenge on Pei Du.

The son must pay for the father's debts; Pei Du is not innocent.

Pei Du had already retreated to the corner. He sneered, "If you didn't want to kill me, why did you come here today?"

Yan Xuwen had already cocked his gun. He said, "There's nothing I can do, your life is too valuable. I originally wanted to play with you a little longer, after all, your pig tail hasn't grown yet, and I wanted to see it grow..."

Hovering in the air, it quickly reassured Pei Du, "Don't worry, I'm here! He can't control your body at all! Little Gou Gou will create a brand new, healthy body for you!"

Pei Du: "..."

He turned to look at the window ledge on his right and said, "Friend hiding over there, you don't need to keep hiding anymore, do you?"

The room fell silent for a moment. A few seconds later, someone outside broke the window and jumped in, stepping on the windowsill with one foot.

Ling Yu was followed by the PUA ball, which was now as big as Ling Yu himself. As it entered, it kept twisting, and white light instantly filled the entire room.

[Suspicious target spotted... Unknown object... Dangerous material...]

The creature, barely clinging to life, shivered and burrowed into the hood of Pei Du's hoodie, carefully hiding the blue tag. The surrounding blue light also dimmed.

Ling Yu's eyes were dark and purplish-blue. He looked at Pei Du and instantly understood everything.

“Pei Du, you have one too.” Ling Yu chuckled inexplicably, as if puzzled. “Why are you helping Sheng Shixian? Huh? He’s already stepping on our heads, and now you want to be inferior to him?!”

Pei Du understood Ling Yu's meaning and said, "If I don't help Sheng Shixian, do you expect me to step on your head?"

Ling Yu was taken aback: "What did you say?"

"Ling Yu, you stole Blood No. 89, didn't you? You framed me, but weren't you also acting superior when you were using me?"

Ling Yu's eyes were bloodshot and menacing: "That's different! I'm fighting for myself! And you? You just want to be trampled under their feet for the rest of your life, to be an unknown supporting character forever! You're utterly foolish!"

Ling Yu knew from the start that he was a supporting character.

Ling Yu knew everything when PUA Tong first came to his side. He was just a passerby in this world, a foil for Sheng Shixian.

But he was unwilling to do so.

Sheng Shixian lived in Lingjia Village just like him. They went to and from school together. Ling Yu didn't think he was much worse than Sheng Shixian.

This imbalance became even more intense after Anjia arrived.

An Jia was different from them. She was a little princess from the city who came here to recuperate. She wore luxurious custom-made dresses and always smiled arrogantly when talking to others, completely unlike a child who would exist in their place.

Ling Yu tried to talk to An Jia. What did An Jia say to him? She said that Ling Yu's hands were very dirty when he dug vegetables, and they were full of mud.

Ling Yu felt utterly ashamed.

Sheng Shixian was just like him; he wasn't exactly clean either.

But on her first day here, An Jia was immediately drawn to Sheng Shixian. She praised Sheng Shixian's mother, saying she was the most beautiful aunt she had ever seen.

Sheng Shixian inherited his mother's good looks and easily got closer to An Jia.

...On what grounds?

Is it just because Sheng Shixian is the male lead?

Just because of this, does Ling Yu have to be his sidekick, a blank tool for the rest of her life?

He doesn't want to play a supporting role anymore.

He wants to save himself.

The image of Pei Du appeared in Ling Yu's pupils, and a chilling glint appeared in his eyes. "Pei Du, you would never understand."

Those who are willing to play supporting roles for others are destined to be cannon fodder for life.

The PUA ball behind him rapidly expanded in size. It had detected something, and its alert level kept rising, reaching its peak within seconds.

[Unknown hazardous material, eliminate immediately.]
