Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: The Meme of the Evil God

The two quickly hid behind a wall and peeked around the corner to check out what was making the noise. As the sound grew louder, a white giant leg appeared before them! The leg was covered in hundreds of tendrils, each ending in a fist-sized human head that looked grotesque and distorted. The heads had bloody flesh and bones that scraped against the ground, creating the terrifying noise. At the top of the leg hung a certain male genitalia.

Upon seeing this monster, Yang Linlin felt extremely uneasy. However, Zhao Yi seemed to be entranced, and his eyes glimmered with excitement. "What a beautiful creation!" he exclaimed.

Yang Linlin was confused, as were the viewers. The chatroom exploded with comments mocking Zhao Yi's taste.

"What do we do now?" said Yang Linlin, feeling lost.

"In this underground testing facility, there must be important clues, but also many dangers. We need to take it slow and steady," replied Zhao Yi.

Yang Linlin nodded gravely, but then watched in disbelief as Zhao Yi grabbed a surgical knife and charged towards the monster!

Oh my god! Is he crazy? What happened to taking it slow and steady? Yang Linlin thought.

After hesitating for a moment, she gritted her teeth and took out her small gun, following behind Zhao Yi. She trusted him unconditionally.

The monster was not easy to deal with. It noticed Zhao Yi and turned around, sprinting towards him in a creepy posture, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground.

Just as the two were about to collide, Zhao Yi pulled out Liu Laohan's property certificate and trapped the creature in the Little Black Room!

Ten seconds! That was enough! Despite its terrifying appearance, the monster was only a mid-level danger and had a fatal weakness.

Mutant Riot: Mid-level Danger

Note: This is only a half-finished product and is far inferior to the quantum state outside.

Weakness: Hemorrhoids on its butt.

Note: Obviously, the mad scientists did not consider that mutants could get hemorrhoids from prolonged sitting during their horrific experiments.

Ever since the data in his underground garage went haywire, Zhao Yi's annotations have become more detailed. The most useful information, of course, is the creature's weakness. Zhao Yi decided to kill this mutant for two reasons. Firstly, Liu Laohan's property certificate has a cooling time of one day, but it actually refreshes at midnight. In other words, if he uses it once at 11:59 PM, he can use it again at midnight. Secondly, this monster is easy to kill. Zhao Yi didn't even have to specifically look for its hemorrhoids, because they were right there on its butt. 

With a swift and precise strike, Zhao Yi successfully completed the microsurgery. The creature's body collapsed like mud on the ground. "Congratulations on killing the rampaging mutant," the system prompt sounded. "Your soul weapon has absorbed the residual evil god meme inside the mutant and is attempting to rebuild it...001...insufficient power...unable to continue rebuilding the meme, rebuilding paused. Your soul weapon has gained a special ability - entanglement. Any unit injured by your soul weapon will continuously grow 'gluttons' on their wounds until the unit dies. The strength of the 'gluttons' is related to your strength and level. Your attributes have been improved!" 

Zhao Yi absorbed some of the "evil god meme" from the mutant, though he had no idea what that meant. Even just rebuilding a tiny portion allowed him to gain 8 points of strength and a special passive skill! He felt really powerful! Yang Linlin approached from behind and looked at the motionless mutant on the ground in surprise. "It's dead?" "Yes," replied Zhao Yi, staring at the corpse on the ground with great interest. "It should have been a perfect creature, but its creator wasn't very good." 

The scalpel in his hand flashed with a cold light as Zhao Yi expertly cut away the muscle tissue around the creature's spine, revealing its neural parts and organs. "This guy actually grew eighteen kidneys," said Zhao Yi, speechless. From the external appearance of the thing's head, Zhao Yi knew that this monster must have some exceptionally strong functions. But even he, who was mentally abnormal, couldn't guess that this monster had grown eighteen kidneys. 

He wondered what those crazy scientists who participated in the creature's development were thinking. Shaking off the blood from his knife, Zhao Yi led Yang Linlin deeper into the path the creature had taken. There was a huge culture dish at the end of the corridor, covered in disgusting moldy placenta. The nearby operating equipment was stained with blood, and there were many scattered experimental data. Zhao Yi bent down and picked up an experimental log from a corpse on the ground. 

... [817] [X-163 is in good condition, all organs are growing according to plan. Interestingly, when researcher Xiaohei accidentally injected it with three times the gradient of male hormones, its kidneys grew even healthier than before!] ... [824] [The mayor came to inspect and highly praised our work progress. Soon, everyone will be able to receive millions of dollars in dividends and even benefit all of humanity... My name will also go down in history!] ... [826] [Those crazy scientists in the inner courtyard have supposedly succeeded in shaping the quantum state. I don't know what that is, but I feel uneasy...] ... [93] [At dinner, I asked Alex if they could stop the monster if it went berserk, but he seemed to ignore my words completely and boasted about how perfect their creations were. In the future, they could even use these means to make humans immortal. When I repeatedly asked him about the monster's rampage, he became angry, not only swearing at me but also knocking over my plate...] ... [912] [... Look at these damned lunatics. What have they created?] ... [913] [We paid a heavy price for our stupidity, and everyone will die... including me!]
