A heretical cultivator in Bureau 749, I'm the fiercest at pulling out tendons and skinning peop

Good heavens, those three in front of Jinghai, though wicked, at least broke through the Five Elements Barrier properly before eating the peach.

Let's follow the proper procedures!

But when it came to Ji Zuodao and Dog Master—

Well then, it wasn't about picking and eating peaches at all!

That's pure recklessness!

Then you see Ji Zuodao holding a water-elemental spirit peach in his left hand, emanating a chilling aura; and a fire-elemental spirit peach in his right hand, steaming hot.

He grinned, his smile so smug, as if he'd gotten a huge bargain.

But take a closer look—

Good heavens! The Five Elements Barrier of that Water Peach froze his entire right arm until it turned black and purple, like the bark of an old tree covered in frost in the twelfth lunar month!

The Five Elements Barrier of the Fire Peach was even more ruthless, burning his left arm to a charred black, sizzling and emitting blue smoke, and filling the air with the smell of burnt roasted meat!

But what about Ji Zuodao?

He remained unfazed, completely unconcerned!

"Awooo—!"

He opened his mouth wide, tilted his neck back, and thrust his arm forward—

He swallowed the peach whole, along with the deadly Five Elements Barrier on the outside! Without even chewing! His cheeks puffed out, and with a "glug," it was down his throat!

When Pigsy ate the ginseng fruit, he at least chewed it a couple of times and tasted it whole.

This guy, on the other hand, just swallowed it all up! Efficiency is his only concern!

"hiss--!"

All the investigators who witnessed this scene below gasped in unison, their eyes wide with shock.

Then look at Ji Zuodao's blood-red mouth, still oozing blood, and his throat, which was billowing black smoke like a small chimney...

Everyone felt a chill rush from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads!

"My goodness...didn't this guy hear what Old Zhang said just now?"

"A rotten gut! That's the consequence of a rotten gut!"

"He swallowed water and fire elements! If those two elements collided in his stomach, wouldn't it explode?!"

really!

This thought had barely crossed everyone's minds—

"Gurgle... thud... crash! crash!"

Suddenly, an extremely exaggerated, thunderous muffled sound came from Ji Zuodao's stomach!

Then came the clanging and clattering, like the sounds of two armies clashing, swords and spears clashing head-on!

Then--

"Bang--!!!!"

A dull yet violent explosion!

Ji Zuodao's belly burst open with a huge hole, just like a fish bubble that had been stepped on and burst!

Blood and flesh flew everywhere! Juice splattered!

A section of white, steaming intestine, dripping with some indescribable liquid, "whoosh—" burst out of the large hole! It drew a graceful arc in the sky, and then—

"Splat!"

It landed squarely on the face of an investigator who was standing nearby.

It was warm, slippery, and carried an indescribable, uniquely pungent smell of offal.

"Holy crap!!!"

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!!!"

"My dearest mother and great-grandmother—!!!"

For a time, the entire peach orchard was filled with the essence of Chinese culture.

Fortunately, Ji Zuodao managed to gather up all the evil stuff in his blood, otherwise this small place, Taoyuan, would have been ruined, oh, and so would that unfortunate investigator.

Liu Ming and Li Shuwen didn't care at all. This weird thing could kill? Don't be ridiculous.

Even Qiqi remained calm.

The little girl held a water-elemental peach, taking small bites, her big eyes blinking calmly—

She had personally witnessed her brother being burned to a pile of ashes, but when the wind blew, the ashes scattered, and he was still alive and well in the end.

The investigator, whose face was smeared with a piece of intestine, raised his hand blankly and wiped his face.

A slippery, warm substance, still containing some digestive juices, hung on his fingertip.

With the help of the sunlight filtering through the clouds, he could see clearly.

That was a section of intestine.

Look at the color, look at the freshness of the movement, it's still the middle section of the small intestine, near the duodenum.

He's a veteran, having weathered many storms and seen countless demons and monsters; the sight of someone being disemboweled isn't uncommon for him.

But today is truly the first time ever!

He froze, his eyes staring straight ahead, but his pupils were empty, reflecting nothing.

My brain completely shut down.

The body operates entirely on instinct.

Just then, a rather polite, even somewhat consultative voice came from beside him:

"Hey bro, could you spare me that piece of intestine? It's mine. Could you please pass it to me? Thanks!"

The investigator blankly handed over the intestines.

As for what's on his mind?

I wasn't thinking about anything.

Blank.

"Alright! Thanks a lot, bro! You're such a considerate person!"

Ji Zuodao happily took the piece of intestine, weighed it in his hand, and even brought it close to his eyes to examine it carefully. Only after confirming that he hadn't taken the wrong one did he nod in satisfaction.

Then, under the stunned, bewildered, as if they had seen a ghost—

He began to clean up the scene.

With practiced skill and swift movements, he picked up the spilled intestines and other debris, piece by piece, gathering them up and putting them back together.

Then, as if stuffing a tangled mess, he stuffed all the red and white stuff back into the large hole in his stomach that was still gushing blood.

This is not finished!

After stuffing it back in, Ji Zuodao stretched out his hands and grabbed the skin and flesh on both sides of the hole in his stomach.

Then, with force—

"Rip—!"

He actually stretched that big hole even bigger! From his stomach all the way to his side!

The bloody, gruesome cross-section, with its clearly visible muscles and fascia, sent chills down one's spine and made one's groin feel cold.

But Ji Zuodao acted as if nothing had happened. He even reached out and touched and pinched the horrific wound, muttering a few strange incantations that no one could understand.

The next second—

A horrifying scene that everyone will never forget, a scene that will make them wish they could gouge their own eyes out, has happened!

Inside the gaping, gruesome wound, the granulation tissue on the inner wall began to writhe, grow, and intertwine wildly!

In the blink of an eye, a...mouth appeared in the center of the wound!

A complete mouth with lips, teeth, and a bright red tongue!

After the mouth formed, it first smacked its lips twice, then opened and closed its mouth, producing a clear, even slightly fawning, sound:

"May you be blessed, sir!"

"..."

The entire room fell silent.

Only the strong winds high above, blowing through the peach grove, create a rustling sound as the leaves rub against each other.

At this moment, everyone's brains collectively implemented the highest level of protective measures—

The computer crashed.

Refusing to think.

Refusing to understand.

Refuse to accept.

Ji Zuodao was completely oblivious to the petrified silence around him, or rather, he simply didn't care.

He picked up the spirit peaches that he hadn't finished eating and started stuffing them one by one into the newly grown mouth on his stomach.

While stuffing it in, he also gave orders, his tone completely matter-of-fact:

"Stop talking nonsense and eat! If you eat a lot and behave well today, I'll promote you to a full-fledged employee!"

Upon hearing the word "promoted," that mouth immediately became so excited that its teeth chattered and its tongue throbbed like a small fan:

"Alright, sir! Just you wait and see! I guarantee I'll complete the mission! I won't let you down!"

After saying that, it opened its "blood-red maw" and devoured the spirit peach that was offered to its mouth in a whirlwind!

"Snap! Snap! Thud!"

The sounds of chewing and swallowing were exceptionally clear and eerie in the deathly silent peach grove.

The investigators: "..."

They stared blankly, their eyes wide open, forgetting to move their pupils.

My mind was completely blank; I had no thoughts at all.

It's not that we don't have them, it's that we dare not have them.

Some scenes, once witnessed, are best forgotten as soon as possible.

Some knowledge is better left unsaid, even if you know it.

For example, it turns out that a mouth can actually grow on a person's stomach, a mouth that can talk, eat, and even try to get a permanent position.

Today's visit to this peach orchard was definitely worthwhile.

I've seen a lot in this world.

It's so big it's a bit of a headache.

That's fucking infuriating.

Is this thing even human?!

Doesn't the Jinghai 749 Bureau conduct background checks and psychological assessments when hiring?!

Won't releasing this thing pose a threat to society?!

Oh wait, he just said "thank you," which was quite polite...

What kind of manners are these?! Whose manners involve exploding themselves, stuffing their intestines back in, and then growing a mouth to say "May you be blessed, sir"?!

Help... I want to go home... Mom, there's someone here who eats with their stomach and even has their own comedian...
