Godslayer: The Progenitor of Symbiotes

Cangnan City, suburbs.

Looking at the desolate wilderness before him, Lin Qiye asked in confusion:

"Sister Hongying, are you sure the captain didn't give the wrong location?"

Hongying walked forward on her own.

"Don't worry, the training camp is very important. If we could spot it at a glance, then we wouldn't need to ask this question."

"By the way, Qi Ye, are you sure you don't want to leave your suitcase with Chen Shu?"

Lin Qiye shook his head and followed Hongying, pulling two pink suitcases.

Behind Hongying, Chen Shu poked his head out and teased with a grin:

"Seven Nights, you must really want the instructors to know that you like pink, right?"

Lin Qiye stopped in his tracks and glanced at his two pink suitcases.

"...Or maybe I should..."

Before Lin Qiye could finish speaking, Chen Shu immediately shrank back into Hongying's body.

"It's too late, I'm not taking it anymore, you can keep it yourself."

A short distance ahead, an SUV sped up and stopped a short distance away from the two.

"Who are those two in front?"

“We are new recruits here for training,” Hongying said.

The door of the SUV opened, and an instructor stepped out.

"New recruit? Pretty eager, arriving so quickly. Name, let's register."

“His name is Lin Qiye,” Hongying thought for a moment and said awkwardly, “My situation is a bit special…”

The instructor said sternly, "Just say it directly. There are no special circumstances in the training camp!"

Hongying nodded and said, "Hongying adds Chen Shu."

Instructor: ? ...!

"You're the Night Watchman who came with a mysterious creature?"

Where's that mysterious one? I didn't see it.

"Hello, instructor, I'm here."

Chen Shu poked his head out and greeted him.

The moment the instructor saw Chen Shu, his eyes blazed, as if he had spotted a very interesting toy.

"You are the one, right? Such a mysterious person with such high intelligence, and the idea of ​​joining the Night's Watch—it's amazing that these two things can be combined."

"Yes, Chen Shu, right? Do well this year, and we'll take good care of you."

Seeing the instructor's malicious gaze, Chen Shu unconsciously leaned back.

It feels like the instructor is looking at me like I'm a toy.

Hongying patted Chen Shu's head and said softly, "Be good, go back first."

Although Chen Shu didn't know what Hong Ying was going to do, he nodded and shrank back into her body.

Hongying looked at the instructor, smiled, and spoke.

"Instructor, could you take us to see Chief Instructor Yuan first? I have something I'd like to discuss with him."

The instructor nodded and said, "I can take you there, but whether he sees you or not is beyond my control. Let's go."

We got on the bus and entered the training camp.

Lin Qiye was first taken to the dormitory by the instructor, and then the instructor took Hongying to Yuan Gang's office.

The instructor walked to the door and knocked.

dong dong dong-

"Enter."

After the instructor went inside, he gestured for Hongying to wait outside.

"Chief Yuan, the Night Watchman who came with a mysterious airman wants to see you."

Yuan Gang sat in the chair, looking up at the instructor with a mixture of doubt and curiosity.

"Oh? What can she do with me?... Let her in."

After the instructor left, Hongying went into the office.

“The Night Watchman is stationed at the 136th Squad in Cangnan City, Hongying. He has met Chief Instructor Yuan.”

Yuan Gang looked Hong Ying up and down, nodded and said, "Hmm, I think I remember you. What do you want to see me about?"

"Alright, alright, let's talk about serious matters later. Where's that mysterious one? Let me see it."

Chen Shu poked his head out and looked at Yuan Gang. "Chief Instructor Yuan, is there something you need from me?"

Yuan Gang squinted at Chen Shu for a moment, then smiled and spoke.

"The files say that your Forbidden Ruins are a [symbiote], meaning that once you've parasitized a certain organism, you'll gain its abilities."

A forbidden realm unlike any seen before, its strength rivaling that of divine realms.

"May I ask how many forbidden ruins you have now?"

Chen Shu smiled and nodded, paused for a moment, and said seriously, "I refuse to answer this question."

Yuan Gang paused for a moment, looked at the head made of black liquid, and then laughed.

"Haha, not bad, interesting. I have another question: what is your purpose in joining the Night's Watch?"

Chen Shu shook his head and leaned in front of Yuan Gang. "This can be answered. It's very simple. I want to eat all the mysteries in this world."

Yuan Gang met Chen Shu's gaze and said, "I look forward to your performance in the coming year."

"Chief Instructor Yuan, since we've come this far, I'd like to remind you of something..."

Targeting is fine, but I don't want it to go too far.

Hongying looked at Yuan Gang, her eyes showing no fear whatsoever.

Yuan Gang didn't refute Hong Ying's "reminder," but simply responded with a smile.

"What do you mean by 'targeted'? He's special compared to other new recruits, so the training methods are naturally different."

Chen Shu was stunned when he heard their conversation.

Damn it, I was wondering why that instructor was looking at me like I was a toy; turns out he was already planning to mess with me.

"It's alright, Sister Hongying. You know my capabilities. Let them do whatever they want."

Chen Shu, having said this, looked at Yuan Gang again.

"By the way, Chief Instructor Yuan, please remember to prepare extra food when you're preparing it, I'm afraid the others won't have anything to eat."

Yuan Gang confidently assured him, "Don't worry, I promise you won't go hungry."

After leaving Yuan Gang's office, Chen Shu smiled and said:

"So Sister Hongying went to remind the head instructor for me. I like Sister Hongying more and more now."

Hongying patted Chen Shu's head and chuckled:

"I was worried they'd target you, and I'd be the one who suffers in the end. So, do you still like me?"

Chen Shu tilted his head. "Hey, Sister Hongying, you clearly opened your mouth just now, so why didn't you make a sound?"

Hongying patted Chen Shu's head and said with a smile, "Come back quickly, it's not good if someone sees you."

"No, what if someone sees me? I joined the Night's Watch under a mysterious identity; I don't need to pretend."

Chen Shu shook his head, ignoring Hong Ying's advice.

Hongying sighed and said helplessly, "I really can't do anything with you."

On the way to the dormitory, the soldiers and instructors around her pointed and whispered when they saw the book protruding from Hongying's body.

"Is this the mystery that joined the Night's Watch? Apart from being black, he doesn't seem to have anything special about him."

"Yeah, it looks weak. I feel like I could punch its head off."

"Are you stupid? It can merge with people, which means it focuses more on support and definitely has no combat power."

"Brother, you have a sharp eye. I think so too. It looks like it might be a liquid exoskeleton armor."

Hongying noticed the increasing number of gazes around her and quickened her pace.

Upon reaching the dormitory building, Hongying slowed her pace and looked at Chen Shu angrily, saying:

"Little Book, have you seen this? I'm practically a monkey in the zoo now."

Chen Shu shook his head and said with a grin, "It's okay, Sister Hongying, actually the 'monkey' they were looking at was me."

Hongying rubbed her temples helplessly; this guy's thought process was just too bizarre.
