“Enhancement?” André became even more puzzled by Feng Bujue's actions. “You probably don’t quite understand your current…”

“My current state is indeed much stronger than the average person, but the flaws are also very obvious.” Jue Ge didn't intend to listen to André finish; he rudely interrupted him and quickly continued, “In this form, part of the brain's potential is over-stimulated, causing problems with the function of the rest of it.” As he spoke, he had already injected the first vial of vno-9 into his veins and immediately began preparing the second. “First, the sense of pain is gone. This important sense, used to send danger warnings from the body… has been transformed into meaningless pleasure, which is simply baffling. Second, my vision is greatly limited. Basically… I can say goodbye to most of the visible spectrum. Although I have a much greater perception than human vision when facing most warm-blooded animals, overall, I think the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.”

Listening to Feng Bujue's description, André's expression gradually became shocked. “You… are you a scientist?”

“You're the scientist, Dr. André,” Feng Bujue replied. “You should be able to summarize and deduce the situations I've described. Unfortunately… the memories and thoughts of a Whisperer have made you lose the wisdom and judgment you should have as a human being.” At this point, he injected the second vial of liquid and started on the next. “All you have left now is a cunning personality and some knowledge of witchcraft from 'the other shore.' The former is mostly useless, and as for witchcraft… with your spiritual power and the endurance of this body, plus the premise of 'limited vision'… the spells you can use in 'this world' are really limited.”

“What exactly…” André was greatly alarmed at this point. “…What exactly are you?”

He didn't use “who,” but “what,” indicating that… he already had an answer in his mind, but he couldn't believe it.

“You suspect I'm a 'Demon God'?” Feng Bujue still didn't turn to look at André, but continued with what he was doing. “Heh… you flatter me too much. At best, I can only be considered an ordinary mutant, not even a Whisperer. Therefore, I haven't obtained too many memories about 'the other shore'.” He paused. “But… I have one major difference from you, and that is—you've always been locked in a 'cage,' while I… can come out for a breath of fresh air from time to time.”

“What are you saying?” André exclaimed. “That’s impossible!”

“Yeah, I think it's incredible too,” Feng Bujue said casually. “Generally speaking, the human brain can't withstand this kind of load. If you let 'the self in the cage' escape, the brain will have problems, and then various neuroses or mental illnesses will develop.” He shrugged and smiled. “Heh… I guess… maybe I'm not a normal person to begin with.”

At this point, Feng Bujue had injected all the vno-9 he was carrying into his body.

Anyway, he had already turned into a desiccated corpse. In this physical condition, even if vno-9 had side effects… he wouldn't faint, wouldn't die… maybe he would even experience intense pleasure.

“So…” After a few seconds, André tentatively said, “That's why… you still had the ability to see the surrounding scenery after being 'awakened'?”

“No, I can't see.” Feng Bujue knew why the other party would come to this conclusion, so he replied directly, “Like you, the world in front of me only has cold light sources and dark shadows.” As he spoke, he pointed to the toolbox in front of him. “It’s just that… I remembered the position of everything inside, so even if I close my eyes, I can complete the current injection procedure.”

“Absurd… how could you possibly remember…” André wanted to deny Jue Ge's statement, but stopped halfway through…

…………

“Okay, let me get my things first.”

…………

Not long ago, Feng Bujue's actions before leaving the archives flashed through André's mind.

“You… at that time…” The next second, André looked at Jue Ge with a shocked expression and muttered.

“That’s right, I sorted out the toolbox a little at that time,” Feng Bujue replied with a smile. “I spent a few dozen seconds confirming the location of the required items and placing them in an easy-to-reach spot.”

During the time he was communicating with André, changes had already taken place in Feng Bujue's body…

“Hmm… vno-9 seems to be working,” Jue Ge suddenly changed the subject, his expression slightly changing. “This feeling… heh… if I were still human, I’d probably be struggling in agony right now…”

The subtext of his words was—I'm enjoying this to the fullest right now.

Gurgle, gurgle—

As soon as Jue Ge finished speaking, a series of strange squirming sounds came from his body.

Since he was skin and bones, the raised veins under his skin were clearly visible. At this moment, his blood vessels seemed to emit a full glow, making him look like a fluorescent stick…

This state lasted for about two minutes. During this time, it was clear to see the light starting from Jue Ge's heart, spreading to all parts of his body, and then returning to the heart… As the number of cycles increased, the light gradually increased and brightened, then gradually weakened and dimmed…

Finally, before the light completely faded, Jue Ge's muscles and the moisture on his body surface returned to normal.

“As expected… it’s recovered.” At this time, Feng Bujue spoke again, smiling and said, “The effects of the paranormal mutation have allowed my body to quickly adapt to the toxicity of vno-9, and the medicinal effects of vno-9 have repaired the damaged functions in my brain.” As he spoke, he turned to look at Igor, who was standing by the door. “Okay, my plan has succeeded, let's continue looking for the exit.”

“Plan?” André suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of Jue Ge's gaze. “What plan? Who are you talking to?”

“I don't need to report to you one by one,” Feng Bujue gave André an indifferent look. “You have no more value, stay away from me if you don't want to die, or I'll send you back to 'the other shore' to play.”

“Impudent!” André had been suppressing a simmering anger in his heart for a long time. At this moment, he finally completely exploded. “What do you think you are! How dare you talk to me like that?”

Crackling—

Amidst the scolding, André transformed again. His body suddenly swelled, and in less than five seconds… he became the giant monster form from before.

“Oh? You want to fight me?” Feng Bujue squinted at the other party and sneered. “You're like a fat pig wandering into a butcher's house… courting death?”
