(Quick Transmigration) Small Cannon Fodder Has Great Power

When you used sweet words to deceive others, did you ever think you'd end up like this?

A slender woman in a black lace dress pointed an exquisitely carved dark gold pistol at a handsome blond man sitting on a chair, the slender barrel of the gun pressed against his chest.

The man coughed weakly, his face still bearing a gentle and polite smile, his voice as elegant and smooth as a cello, "Ah, quite the opposite. For someone like me, it's perfectly normal to have a victim point a gun at me. I just never expected that the one holding the gun would be a delicate lady."

The woman's upper face was hidden beneath a black veiled hat, revealing only her beautiful thin lips and delicate, pointed chin. A mocking smile played at the corners of her lips.

“Although I knew your purpose from the beginning, I didn’t expose you. Instead, I helped you deal with my family and offered you what you wanted, but you rejected me! You even abandoned the original plan you had planned…” She gritted her teeth, paused, and continued, “Do you regret it?”

“Madam,” he seemed to be getting worse, clenching his fist slightly to endure it, but his expression remained perfectly gentlemanly. He chuckled softly, “Although I am a conman, I am a conman with principles. I do not sell my body.”

Besides, even without me, Miss Blaise wouldn't give up her chance to take over the family headship, would she? Saying it's for my sake is really unsettling.

"Heh... You're being stubborn, but you're not feeling well right now, are you? My dear Vincent, your biggest mistake is being too soft-hearted towards women. Otherwise, how would I have had the chance to poison you?"

She slowly leaned closer to him, as if whispering to a lover, "Do you know? Your initial target, which is the most famous painting in my family, is not the most precious collection."

"Appreciate further details."

“Such a precious thing, not many people know about it, and I have already given it to you.” She looked at him with satisfaction through the black veil. “It’s a poison that the former royal family once possessed. The formula is extremely rare, and the effects are very peculiar—it causes an unbearable chill when it takes effect, and the effects become more and more frequent and severe, taking three months of torment to die. It has a beautiful name, ‘Winter’… Ha, how fitting for a cold and hard heart like yours!”

She wanted to see fear and regret on the man's face, but she was disappointed. The man, instead, focused on something else—

"Using precious medicinal herbs to make poison is a terrible waste."

Enraged by his nonchalant attitude, the woman sneered and straightened up. "The antidote is of course in my hands," she said, turning slightly to point her gun at a beautifully crafted crimson glass bottle with rose carvings on the shelf behind her. "Look, that's it. To cure an extremely cold poison, you need an extremely hot catalyst."

The most important ingredient is siren venom, the kind of venom released between the siren's lips and tongue before she drains the blood of her seduced crew... Heh, what could be more passionate than a siren's kiss?

However, the next second, with a gunshot, the small glass containing the antidote shattered in the man's sight.

"Oh dear, the only antidote is gone." The woman laughed maniacally. "Spend the rest of your life in agony repenting!"

···

"It hurts... I'm so hungry..." Gu Yunyun lay on the ground like a salted fish... no, maybe she really was a salted fish. Her lower body was a silver fishtail, which she weakly and irritably flapped, slapping the ground with the tip of her tail. "Why isn't the mission target here yet..."

The system comforted her: "Don't worry, it will come. I've already managed to spread the word that there are sirens among the items in the underground auction. Given the target's information network, they'll definitely find out."

"Speaking of which... my usual mission targets are upright and good young people, but this time the target is a con artist?"

"Oh, people have many facets. This person even donated a portion of their income."

"Hmm... he's a chivalrous thief... okay, I can barely accept it."

"Yes! In the original world, because the number of sirens was decreasing, they gradually became a legendary existence. After the target was poisoned, he died three months later because the sirens' venom, the main ingredient, could not be found."

Your task is to help him detoxify and safely get through the month-long period of weakness following the detoxification. After that, you can do whatever you want; treat it as a vacation. Of course, you'll receive extra points for providing further assistance to the target.

"Okay, for the holiday, for a rare period of time that's completely my own..." Gu Yunyun struggled to turn over. "My body hurts so much, it feels like all my blood is burning, everything hurts. What exactly did they inject me with?"

"It's diluted moongrass juice. It will cause the siren unbearable pain and weakness, but if the dosage is controlled, it won't cause any real harm to the body, so don't worry."

Gu Yunyun lay on the cold ground, staring blankly at the iron bars of the cage with lifeless eyes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now comes our grand finale!" The host's excited and infectious voice rang out again.

Those in the audience who knew in advance about the final product couldn't help but sit up straight, their eyes wide with curiosity, eager to see what the legendary siren looked like. Those unaware of the news also craned their necks, speculating with curiosity.

The host's voice was almost cracking with excitement, "Our auction's grand finale never disappoints! What will it be this time? The exciting moment is about to be revealed!"

With a passionate gesture, he raised his hand, and the ropes above the stage lifted the black velvet cloth that completely covered the huge iron cage. People's eyes were tense as they watched the gaps that were gradually revealed...

But suddenly, the rope suspending the black cloth seemed to lose its strength, paused for a moment, and then the entire rope fell down, slapping against the top of the cage with a "thud." The black cloth then covered the small gap that had been exposed.

The host was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered thanks to his rich experience. He had just managed a smile and was about to smooth things over when he was interrupted by a loud sound of shattering glass.

The giant crystal chandelier in the center of the hall suddenly shattered, scattering shards of glass and plunging the venue into darkness. The audience screamed and panicked. The auction house's bodyguards were on high alert; these two consecutive mishaps suggested someone was trying to steal the merchandise. Guards around the stage drew their guns, remaining vigilant for anyone approaching.

At the same time as Gu Yunyun heard a sudden sound, the iron cage she was in suddenly dropped, making her whole fish bounce around a few times.

The black cloth covering the cage had disappeared during the fall, and a sudden beam of light appeared in front of her. Her eyes, which had been accustomed to darkness, were not used to it, and she quickly covered her eyes with her weak hands.

She heard a "click" and felt the cage door open. She was being carried on the shoulder of a tall, large man. Due to the effects of the moonflower juice, Gu Yunyun had no strength to struggle and did not intend to struggle. Although this person was not the target Vincent, the task progress bar on the task panel showed that it had moved forward a bit, so this was probably someone Vincent had sent.

Gu Yunyun was so weak that she fell asleep during the bumpy journey.

Finally free from sleeping on the hard floor, Gu Yunyun felt the gentle waves of water caressing her skin in her half-awake state, and vaguely heard the system's noisy shouts. Her eyelids twitched, and she slowly opened her eyes.

"Gu Yunyun, wake up and save the mission target! Aaaaaah!"

"Hmm..." As expected, it was the system making noise. Gu Yunyun gently wiggled her tail, creating a splashing sound.

Gu Yunyun's gaze gradually focused, and the first thing she saw was four faces surrounding her. This reminded her of a meme she had seen online before, where the four members of the Tang Monk's group surrounded her and said, "You're awake."

Gu Yunyun, her head resting on the edge of the bathtub: ...? ? !

"Wow, she's awake! The siren has opened her eyes!" The bearded man shouted excitedly as soon as he saw Gu Yunyun wake up.

"Keep your voice down! It's hurting my ears!" The mature woman with burgundy wavy hair tugged at his beard.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch... I heard the siren is very fierce, shouldn't we tie her up?"

“That lecherous old man at the auction house said that the moonflower juice she was injected with last night will keep her weak for at least three days. During that time, the siren will be weaker than a human girl, let alone be able to use any other abilities. But…” Eileen took out a syringe filled with liquid, “just in case.”

“The siren looks really…” the baby-faced boy said, his ears turning red when his eyes met Gu Yunyun’s.

“What a beautiful young lady,” the blond man praised her in a tone like a bard’s aria, taking a strand of Gu Yunyun’s long, moonlit, light golden hair in his hand. His violet eyes gazed at her, and he placed a light kiss on the tip of her hair, like a hand kiss for a lady. This man was none other than Vincent, the target.

Following his hand, Gu Yunyun saw the seashell on her chest beneath her hair, which had been lifted up.

The a was still tied very securely, thankfully it wasn't shaken off.

Just as the bearded man was about to say, "Boss, don't try to seduce a non-human," he saw Gu Yunyun completely unmoved by the exceptionally handsome and charming blond man. Instead, she lowered her eyes and stared blankly. He couldn't help but burst into laughter, but Vincent stopped him with a faint look.

The red-haired woman was unfazed by the bearded man's foolishness: "Vincent, let's hurry up and extract the siren venom."

“Luckily, we have Eileen, who is skilled in potions, here. You even know such an ancient formula.” Vincent put down Gu Yunyun’s hair. “How do we extract the siren’s venom?”

"Sirens only secrete venom before feeding. As long as we make her want to eat."

The baby-faced boy pondered seriously, "If sirens only secrete venom before drinking human blood..."

“I’ve heard that sirens like strong male sailors,” Eileen tossed her red hair, smiling alluringly. “If you want to stimulate a sirens’ appetite, you’d probably have to show her the fresh flesh of strong men, right?”

"Why?!!"

···

So Gu Yunyun is now facing the bodies of three men, each with their own unique charm... with only their upper bodies naked.

Gu Yunyun: Mom, this is a bit exciting.

Although the bearded man's rugged hairstyle and full beard obscured his features, he had a really good physique, with caramel-colored skin, well-developed muscles, and a tall stature. His masculine hormones were practically slapping onto Gu Yunyun's face.

The baby-faced boy was about seventeen or eighteen years old. Although he was a little thin, he was surprisingly well-endowed when he took off his shirt. His youthful and beautiful body had smooth lines, and there were even faint muscle outlines on his arms and abdomen. He blushed and looked to the side, feeling a little uncomfortable.

The blond, handsome man's body, compared to the bearded man's bulk and the boy's slender frame, was as perfect as a sculpture in an art gallery. Any more or less would be too fat, any less would be too thin. Every muscle was so perfect. Coupled with his handsome and dazzling face, he was simply an archangel from a church mural. In Gu Yunyun's eyes, he was a beautiful man who had stepped out of a comic book.

Gu Yunyun felt that it was a bit too exciting. However, the structure of a siren is probably different from that of a human. If a human saw this scene, they would probably blush and drool, and have the urge to have a nosebleed. But Gu Yunyun, as a siren, felt that her blood seemed to rush to the tip of her tail, and her tail felt hot.

However, Gu Yunyun's calm and composed demeanor (just kidding) appeared to the four people in front of her as nothing more than "completely unmoved".

Eileen suddenly pinched Gu Yunyun's cheek and looked into her open mouth. "Sure enough, there's nothing there." She turned to look at the three shirtless men. "You guys are no good."
