The male Asian tiger mosquito struggled desperately, but still immersed its entire body in the liquid, thrashing directly on the surface.
Jia Yan carefully avoided being splashed by the liquid, then stood by the bottle, observing closely.
Ten minutes passed...
"Very good, at least this mosquito hasn't shown any reaction so far. Preliminary assessment suggests it won't cause me much harm. And even if there's a little damage, it didn't directly kill this mosquito. With my mutated physiology, there's definitely no threat..."
The gleam in Jia Yan's compound eyes intensified!
"Yu Yuan, your time is up!!"
As the sun set, it was dusk.
Fan Haofei, a young worker who had been busy all day, dragged his weary body back to his rented accommodation.
He was a aluminum alloy window installer. Having come to Shanghai alone to make a living, it had been nearly half a year.
Like every young person with urban dreams, Fan Haofei always hoped to establish himself in this bustling city through his own efforts.
But reality was like a sharp dagger, ruthlessly tearing apart the fragile dreams of the youth, leaving them shattered and hesitant to even think about it again!
Although the wages earned in Shanghai were relatively high, the cost of living was also extremely high. Fan Haofei had already entertained the idea of giving up his dreams and returning to his hometown in the countryside.
"Disconnected from AFK again last night, it's really frustrating, otherwise I would've reached level 60 by now!"
Fan Haofei's biggest hobby besides work was playing games. He played a popular game while working, and surprisingly managed to rank in the top hundred levels, which was quite impressive.
Returning to his rented room, he couldn't wait to check his computer, which was still on.
"Great, didn't disconnect during the day, leveled up again!" Fan Haofei looked pleased.
Without even bothering to take a shower, he sat down and played games barefoot for a while.
"What's this smell? It's so pungent!"
Fan Haofei, eyes fixed on the screen, didn't notice a mosquito flying in through the window, only to be overwhelmed by the stench of his smelly feet!
"Just got back and I smell this, this guy doesn't even bother to wash his feet before sitting down to play, it's unbearable!" Jia Yan felt like he was back in that stinky little pond, the whole room filled with the smell.
Some mosquitoes really liked the smell of stinky feet for some reason.
Jia Yan naturally couldn't stand this smell.
"Look at him, doesn't even know when to stop playing computer games. Let me help him take a shower earlier, after a bath, he'll relax and want to sleep..."
Jia Yan thought mischievously.
Then, in the darkness, he carefully flew to the back of the homeowner...
Fan Haofei, with his bare arms, thought that lighting mosquito coils would prevent mosquitoes, but little did he know that Jia Yan now had a strong resistance to mosquito coils.
Perching on the smooth back, Jia Yan smelled the scent of blood.
"It's been a couple of days since I last had blood, and I'm pretty hungry."
Without hesitation, Jia Yan quietly pierced his proboscis into Fan Haofei's back.
After all, he was already a mosquito himself, and isn't sucking blood what mosquitoes do? Jia Yan felt a little sorry, but at least he was sure that he wouldn't infect people with viruses now, so he proceeded to suck blood.
After a moment.
"It's so itchy! What rubbish mosquito coil is this, lit it up and still got bitten by mosquitoes! I'm going to take a shower, maybe it'll be less itchy after."
Fan Haofei scratched his back vigorously and went to take a bath.
"Why is it still this game, addicted to it! Look at some news or watch some videos, I can do that too, playing games is nothing!" After waiting for almost an hour, Jia Yan, hiding under the bed, became impatient.
He flew up again.
Fan Haofei was controlling his game character to kill other players, his eyes shining as he stared at the screen, probably all his attention was on the computer.
Jia Yan quietly crawled onto his back...
"Wow! It's so itchy! Damn mosquito coil!" In no time, Fan Haofei shouted, one hand pressing the mouse, the other scratching his back frantically.
Jia Yan hid under the bed, feeling ecstatic!
It's amusing to tease this guy.
Because he was bitten badly by mosquitoes, Fan Haofei didn't persist in playing the game this time. Instead, he turned on the AFK function and let the computer automatically fight monsters.
He hid under the mosquito net and started calling his family.
"Mom, I'm fine, I earn 5000 yuan a month here, um... I'll be careful. It's okay, I'll come home for Chinese New Year this year."
"Is it 4000 yuan in the county? But I still think it's better here. Dad, stop talking, my boss treats me so well, that thing you mentioned, let me think about it when I go home for Chinese New Year, okay?"
Jia Yan hid under the bed, listening to Fan Haofei chatting with his family, thinking about his own family. There was infinite melancholy in his heart.
Young people like Fan Haofei were still okay. Although they came to another place alone to work, they could still go home to visit frequently, even if they didn't do well. There were still families who would accept them even if they failed.
But what about Jia Yan? After his rebirth, he was just a tiny mosquito.
Whether alive or dead, he was alone.
Pain, loneliness, happiness, and sadness, all of these were felt by him alone.
There was no family.
Jia Yan curled up in a corner, listening to Fan Haofei's phone call, imagining it was him calling his parents.
If he were still the young man who wasn't good at studying but was still a second-tier university student, could he also call his parents frequently now?
Why didn't he call every day before...
The dark mosquito, hiding under the bed, felt a bit lonely, his body slightly hunched, looking so lonely.
Not long after, the sound of deep breathing came from the bed.
Fan Haofei fell asleep, and Jia Yan also recovered from his emotions!
No matter how oppressive life was, the days had to go on.
Struggle! Even if it's just a mosquito, it has to strive to survive!
Jia Yan flew up and found that Fan Haofei not only fell asleep but also started snoring.
He knew from observing yesterday that this young man slept very deeply.
Jia Yan picked up the pen cap that was placed under the bed with great confidence and flew to the computer.
Compared to yesterday, Jia Yan was much more familiar with the process today!
Without hesitation, he closed the game and then opened QQ!
Poor Fan Haofei, his AFK plan for tonight had failed again. If he tried a few more times, this guy might give up this game. Maybe he'd quit his internet addiction for real!
Jia Yan thought he did a good deed...
The handsome Korean oppa avatar for 'For the Heart of the
Ocean' was indeed shining!
No matter how many times he saw it, Jia Yan always criticized the goatee. Even if you succeeded in deceiving someone with this avatar, when the girl meets you in person and sees your ghostly appearance, slapping you is the least of her reactions.
"Tell me about Yu Tao's schedule for tomorrow." Jia Yan quickly typed these words, getting straight to the point.
"He will take the flight at 23:25 tonight from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport and arrive at Shanghai Pudong Airport in China at around 16:35 tomorrow afternoon. There will be four security personnel accompanying him, all of whom have military backgrounds, and one of them even achieved high rankings in international military competitions."
"When they arrive in China, they will take a stretch version of the bulletproof Land Rover provided by the welcoming party to the Mingxia Building, the headquarters of the Yu family's enterprise, for business meetings and negotiations. I estimate they will return to their residence, the Yu family courtyard, around midnight at 23:00."
After reading this information, Jia Yan couldn't help but admire the professionalism of these assassins. Yu Tao hadn't even boarded the plane yet, but they had already mapped out his schedule so thoroughly.
He thought for a moment.
Then he solemnly typed down these words...
"Tomorrow, I will seize the opportunity to act. I will use the CHr-379 you provided, but don't forget to help me kill Yu Yuan. If you dare to run away... you can try, see if you can escape my hands for a day!"
The language Jia Yan sent out was full of threats!
He believed that these two assassins were already frightened by him. They hadn't discovered any clues, but the situation was known so thoroughly by Jia Yan. Now, mysteriously claiming to have the ability to track them down and kill them within a day, there was a great chance they would believe it!
Of course, Jia Yan wasn't without a backup plan!
Before setting out to kill Yu Tao tomorrow... he would visit the homes of the two assassins!
Monitor them, and if they tried to escape, then sorry! Since they wanted to hinder Jia Yan's greatest wish after his rebirth, there was only one way to make them taste the flavor of 'CHr-379' first. Whether they died or not didn't matter. At least one of them would stay behind to continue coercing and persuading the other to help him.
After all, these two were assassins who had killed people before, so Jia Yan wouldn't feel too burdened killing them!
