The struggling and roaring sound from Jia Rengui behind the door stopped.
A pale, somewhat bluish hand rested on the door, gently pushing it open.
Jia Rengui's expression had completely transformed. Compared to his once greasy demeanor, he now appeared exceptionally stern and proper.
He even exuded a hint of an English gentleman's aura.
However… 138 Reading Network
His body was covered in a repulsive, fishy odor.
And as he walked out…
No, he hadn't walked out. He had merely poked his head out, exposing his body through the gap in the door.
He tidied his suit, worn for the banquet.
Then, Jia Rengui raised his head. With his movement, as time passed, the characteristics of Jia Rengui became increasingly apparent.
His skin grew increasingly pale and bluish. Droplets of moisture appeared on his body, constantly flowing onto the ground.
The water on the ground quickly accumulated into a puddle, then spread and slowly flowed towards everyone's feet.
More and more mucus seeped from the surface of his skin.
"Parasite…"
Duan Chen narrowed his eyes, actively avoiding any attributes he might step on.
Jia Rengui…
No, it should be [Jia Rengui]. He adjusted his clothes, a smile appearing on his lips. "I didn't expect you to be able to deduce my race from mere clues?"
"How did you figure it out? No, that's not the question I want to ask… How did you know something was wrong with me?"
"I'm very confused. I don't recall making any suspicious moves from beginning to end."
Duan Chen was quite willing to answer this question.
His tone was very loud.
"You indeed didn't make any suspicious moves, but I'm sorry, the human you've possessed is too suspect. Even as mercenaries, we were already on guard."
"Moreover… with sea monsters causing trouble, isn't it normal? Would it be some other kind of heretic?"
[Jia Rengui] was stunned by Duan Chen's words, then couldn't help but laugh.
He laughed more and more wildly, even holding his forehead and shaking his head.
"I see, I see…"
"I never imagined the reason for my exposure was your extensive knowledge, yet also your limited perspective… how laughable!"
"You only know that there's only the sea monster in this world as a heretic?"
[Jia Rengui] revealed a mocking expression at the corner of his mouth. "What pathetic and tragic fellows."
"But… even if you managed to expose my identity, so what? Your journey of life ends here."
He clapped his hands, and a group of people emerged from behind him.
Among them were Wang Chenyang, Wang Fugui, and Jia Mengmeng.
The sea monster characteristics were very obvious on each of them.
Jia Mengmeng even had fangs protruding from the corners of her mouth.
Jia Mengmeng, annoyed, tugged at her hair. Her half-dry hair had traces of cream on it.
[Jia Mengmeng]'s tone was full of complaint: "Since they already knew… why did you make me go through all the trouble of acting?"
"So annoying… my hair is covered in cream! Disgusting! The taste of human food is revolting!"
[Wang Fugui] revealed a haughtiness and nobility that didn't belong to him. It was a noble demeanor he had never displayed when he was Wang Fugui.
He had changed his clothes at some point, wearing something akin to a European prince, with a paper flower pinned to his collar.
[Wang Fugui] smiled broadly, looking extremely noble.
He pressed his index and middle fingers lightly against his temples, then suddenly released them, offering a magnificent smile to Jun Ci.
"Beautiful lady, it's a pleasure to see you again. Do you have any thoughts on becoming my wife?"
"I truly love your flesh… your flesh exudes a delightful scent."
Jun Ci gagged.
He couldn't help but look at Duan Chen and complain, "Can't I reveal my true identity at all?"
[Wang Fugui] chuckled.
He said mockingly, "At this point, no matter what your identity is, do you think it matters anymore?"
Duan Chen nodded subtly.
Jun Ci also let out a cold laugh.
"Of course, it matters!"
"For example?" [Wang Fugui]'s expression was full of amusement.
Since Duan Chen had already nodded, there was no need to hold back anymore.
Jun Ci also let out a cold laugh, mimicking Wang Fugui: "For example, I'm a man. How about that? Am I in good shape? Do I feel good to the touch?"
He expected [Wang Fugui] to show a face like he had eaten a fly or stepped in excrement, but he never imagined that Wang Fugui would strangely stick out his tongue and lick his lips, his eyes filled with excitement and amusement.
He said with a smile.
"Even better if you're a man, I'm most interested in men."
"The essence of a man's soul, the body of a woman… you perfectly hit my kinks."
This time, it was Jun Ci who felt disgusted.
He gagged and refused to communicate with the pervert in front of him.
"Enough with the pleasantries."
[Jia Rengui]'s face turned cold. He reached out and unbuttoned his suit jacket. Though he looked somewhat vulgar, at this moment, he exuded an extraordinary noble aura.
"Take these people down first… This way, we will have new flesh."
A glint of greed flashed in his eyes. "And, the flesh of those with innate abilities."
"Only the four of you?"
Duan Chen inquired.
[Jia Rengui] sneered, "Only the four of us is more than enough. Do you think we need to deploy a large army against you?"
"That's good."
Duan Chen nodded, cracking his knuckles with a 'click, click' sound, a ferocious smile appearing on his lips.
"I was wondering how I would deal with the trouble of disposing of bodies if there were too many people."
"Now it seems… heaven truly favors me."
[Jia Rengui] didn't even have time to react. The moment he opened his eyes and closed them, he saw Duan Chen already standing before him.
A fist the size of a sandbag appeared in his vision, growing larger and closer.
"Bang!"
A loud explosion.
