This scene was too unusual. Jia Yan, as an ordinary college student before his rebirth, couldn't possibly accept such a scenario all at once.
In his view, making a movie was the best explanation.
But where was the camera? He couldn't see it at all!
Could it be that what was happening in front of him was all real?
"What's this?" The addict sitting on the lower bunk looked warily at the bottle of medicine thrown by Northeast Wild Tiger.
"Senior Addict, this is what you wanted! Rest assured, I can guarantee with my life that it's not mixed with anything." Northeast Wild Tiger smiled.
"What do you mean?" The addict's gaunt face showed no hint of joy upon hearing this; instead, he seemed more wary.
"Nothing much. Just saying that even if we fell out today, it wouldn't matter. Consider this bottle of antimicrobial peptide as a gift from the younger generation to you." Northeast Wild Tiger spoke with charisma.
"You..." The addict wanted to say something, but his eyes glanced at the bottle of medicine on the bedside, and he swallowed his saliva twice.
He didn't end up making harsh remarks or mocking; instead, he gently picked up the bottle and held it up to the sunlight.
Jia Yan quietly peeked out and also examined what they called 'antimicrobial peptide.'
The medicine bottle was transparent, and the liquid inside had a purplish-red hue.
Under the sunlight, the purplish-red color reflected on the floor, creating a faintly purple shimmer. It looked both enchanting and mysterious!
The bottle bore the label and packaging of some health product, but by now, everyone knew that the packaging was just a disguise, and what was inside was definitely not the same as that health product.
"Northeast Wild Tiger... Can I trust you?" After watching for a while, the addict slowly grasped the bottle of medicine, then lowered his eyes and stared at Northeast Wild Tiger with a deep gaze.
"Senior Addict, all I can say is that I've admired you for a long time. Whether it's the legendary battle against the top four American killers or the righteous assassination of the leader of African pirates at the risk of your own life, I'm familiar with all your deeds. Now that you've fallen to this situation, I, Wild Tiger, am also very saddened. I just want to help you as a junior. Senior, whether to believe it or not... it's up to you!" Northeast Wild Tiger's words seemed sincere and flawless.
The addict wasn't swayed by his words alone but calmly stared into Northeast Wild Tiger's eyes. A person who walked amidst danger and killings had his own way of judging people.
The soft sleeper compartment fell into silence.
After watching for a while, the addict sneered.
"You kid... your trick of using retreat as advance is too naive! But so what if this bottle of medicine is fake? Anyway, I'm a dying man, so I'll trust you this once!"
With that, the addict directly opened the bottle of medicine!
"Wow, what's this smell?! It's so fragrant! It's even more enticing than the smell of blood! What exactly is this antimicrobial peptide!"
Jia Yan, hiding between the bunks, became excited immediately. Under this smell, he almost couldn't resist flying forward to take a sip of the medicine!
But the addict didn't give him the chance.
With a gulp, he suddenly tilted his head back and swallowed most of the bottle's contents in one go.
"Hmm?..." Seeing that only a trace of the medicine was left, the addict's expression suddenly changed!
"Did you deceive me?"
He clutched his chest with a slightly pained expression, waving his arms wildly and knocking over the several dishes placed on the table!
Small bowls, chopsticks, all fell to the ground.
At the same time, he threw the nearly empty bottle of medicine onto the floor, and the bottle rolled together with those food scraps!
"How is this possible? Senior, this definitely isn't fake medicine!" Northeast Wild Tiger's expression also changed drastically at this moment.
His expression didn't seem fake at all. He quickly got up from the bunk and walked concernedly to the addict.
Unexpectedly, when he approached the gaunt man, the 'addict' smiled faintly.
Northeast Wild Tiger was stunned, as the 'addict' in front of him seemed completely fine, reverting to his previous demeanor.
There was no sign of poisoning at all!
"I believe you..."
As if performing magic, the addict pulled out a water bag from his collar. Inside the water bag was the pale purple liquid that should have been 'drunk' into his stomach earlier!
"Senior, you are indeed a master. I admire you!" Northeast Wild Tiger was first stunned, then quickly realized that the addict had completely acted in front of him just now!
If the medicine in that bottle had a problem, whether it was a slow poison, a strong poison, or a virus, there would have been at least some doubt in his expression at that moment.
Other people might find it difficult to detect any doubts instantly, but for someone like the addict, that moment would have revealed everything.
And in reality, his immediate reaction was genuine shock and concern. That's what made the addict believe!
"This addict is really amazing. I almost kept my eyes on him the whole time and still couldn't see through the situation!"
Jia Yan, in the gap, looked puzzled. When the addict drank the medicine just now, he deliberately tilted his head, giving Northeast Wild Tiger the illusion that he was drinking the medicine.
But from Jia Yan's perspective, facing him, he only knew that the addict had played the trick of pretending to drink it when he took out the water bag.
"Kid, tell me all the conditions you can offer me. I'm getting old, and I'm thinking of finding a place to enjoy life for a few years. Let's see if you can impress me!" The addict toyed with the water bag, not rushing to drink the medicine inside.
"Ah... sure, Senior!" Northeast Wild Tiger quickly agreed.
His face was already beaming with smiles. At the same time, he glanced at the pile of trash on the ground and the nearly empty bottle of medicine, saying, "Please wait a moment, let me have someone clean up this trash first."
As a big shot, he naturally didn't need to personally clean up the trash.
"Clean up the trash?" Jia Yan, in the gap between the bunks, suddenly froze!
In his eyes, he could see many things, including the carbon dioxide exhaled by humans, various odors, and a thermal sensing ability similar to infrared.
This made the world in Jia Yan's eyes completely different from that of humans.
However, after so long, he had gotten used to it.
The reason he was stunned now was that although most of the 'medicine' that had been opened was now in the water bag held by the addict, there was still a little bit left in the health medicine bottle that belonged to the 'trash'...
This bit of medicine also emitted a fatally attractive scent that Jia Yan could 'see'!
Perhaps for humans, this bit of medicine was not even enough to fill a tooth gap. But for a mosquito, it would definitely make its belly round!
"What is this medicine? Why do I feel so attracted to it from the moment the bottle was opened until now?"
"Or... can I also drink some?!"
In his dilemma, Northeast Wild Tiger had already called his subordinate from next door.
The subordinate walked into the room, picked up the broom and dustpan borrowed from the train attendant, first bowed to Northeast Wild Tiger, then bowed to the addict.
"Since humans can drink it, it means it's not highly toxic! And since I feel such a strong attraction to this medicine, it must have something special..."
Jia Yan was torn in his heart.
This medicine was definitely not ordinary. Just look at the current situation; one person seemed like an assassin, and the other seemed to have some authority. The two of them met and traded specifically for this bottle of medicine on the train.
This meant that this medicine was definitely not to be underestimated!
What exactly was antimicrobial peptide? And what special effects did this medicine, which was not just any antimicrobial peptide in the addict's mouth, have?
It was even possible that this medicine was the 'new drug that still had many problems in medicine' mentioned by the addict.
It was so attractive to him, always feeling that consuming it would have a huge impact on him, an attraction even surpassing blood!
Jia Yan felt that this was a huge opportunity, one that could potentially change the future of his mosquito body!
"Let's do it!! If things go wrong, I can always vomit it out!"
Decided, Jia Yan saw that the subordinate had swept everything into the dustpan and bowed to both men before leaving the sleeper compartment.
A click.
The slight sound of the door closing echoed.
The subordinate seemed to be sweating on his forehead and muttered to himself, "The addict is truly extraordinary; his eyes almost scared the piss out of me..."
"Hey!"
Just as the subordinate, holding the dustpan, was about to walk to the garbage bin in the passenger car, another soft sleeper compartment door opened beside him.
It was a man wearing glasses who looked like a student.
"When you throw away that bottle later, remember to tighten the lid. Otherwise, it will attract insects, causing unnecessary trouble." He pointed to the medicine bottle still containing some residue.
"I know, I know. After insects eat this medicine, they might grow bigger, right? I've heard of it happening several times in factories. I'll tighten it before throwing it away." The subordinate responded casually.
