No strange things are allowed to evolve!

Little Bear stood next to Jiang Shu, with his arm around his shoulder: "Bro, did you almost start humming when you heard him talking about you so loudly to us?"

"I wanted to hum a little, but in a rather naughty way."

As Jiang Shu spoke, he suddenly ripped open the white cloth that had been partially lifted in front of him.

"Holy crap!" Little Bear Hard Candy was startled and immediately withdrew her hand from Jiang Shu's shoulder.

"hiss..."

"This is..."

Even though they had witnessed many hellish scenes in the past two days, the group still felt physically uncomfortable.

Two people were lying on the experimental table.

As for why the quantifier "fan" is used, it's because the headless and limbless object lying on the experimental table, which can be called a human pig, has been completely gutted from top to bottom in the middle, with its internal organs removed, but it hasn't been completely split open. It looks exactly like two pieces of processed pork hanging side by side in a vegetable market.

"He somehow managed to get the internal organs into the doll, but he failed, and the doll didn't come back to life."

Jiang Shu held up a doll with human organs transplanted into it and showed it to his companions:

"Now we have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"

"Listen to the good stuff first."

"The good news is that he probably won't do it again after the experiment failed."

"And the bad news?"

"The bad news is that he only failed today, while our modification was done yesterday. And judging from the appearance of this test subject, no matter what kind of experiment it is, he must be quite ruthless."

Jiang Shu said in a deep voice, "So I'm not sure if our bodies are intact."

Upon hearing this, the little gummy bear clearly reacted, breathing out at the tyrant: "Quickly use your invincible body odor to think of a solution!!"

"You fucking bastard!"

Despite the criticism, Ba Wang calmed down and began trying to identify his own pheromones.

"Although the smell here is strong, my pheromones don't shy away from its power!"

He successfully located the spot where the pheromone scent was strongest: "Follow me!"

Led by him, the group arrived in front of the iron cabinet.

Pointing to one area and gesturing around, Ba Wang said confidently, "It's this area."

"Let's split up and search." After saying that, Jiang Shu took the lead and pulled each drawer out.

The group exchanged glances and then joined in.

Not long after.

"I go!"

The gummy bear let out a strange cry.

"What's wrong?" The group looked over at the sound.

"We found the hidden model." Hard Candy Bear's expression was strange: "Why is there an oven in the freezer?"

"An oven?" Ba Wang suddenly became furious: "What kind of time is this and you're still messing around?"

"No, it's true! Look for yourselves, it's a huge chunk of Wellington steak!" the little gummy bear said, feeling wronged.

Although they didn't believe it, the group still gathered around.

The little gummy bear lifted the white cloth covering the object in the metal cabinet, pointed to the middle section, and confidently declared: "This isn't Wellington steak, I'll eat it straight away!"

And where he was pointing, there was indeed something covered in cuts, just like the puff pastry on the surface of Wellington steak.

The group fell silent.

Ba Wang stroked his chin: "Why can't it be a squirrel-shaped mandarin fish?"

"Then I take back what I just said, it could also be spicy squid." Little Gummy Bear changed her mind.

"Please...please stop talking." Wang Tiezhu covered her mouth; these were the foods she usually liked to eat, so she felt like she was going to throw up.

Jiang Shu pressed down on the little gummy bear's hand and put the white cloth back.

"He could also be my body..."

"?"

Jiang Shu pulled the entire iron cabinet out and lifted the white cloth covering his head.

It actually bears a striking resemblance to the face of Jiang Shu's realistic-style dolls, with about 70-80% similarity.

"Don't try to get something for nothing," Jiang Shu said earnestly to the little gummy bear.

"No, bro, you..." Little Bear leaned back tactically, utterly astonished.

boom!

The overlord slammed his furious iron fist against the iron cabinet, filled with righteous indignation and boundless rage.

"Damn it, isn't it enough that you put our souls into this rag doll?! Do you have to torture our bodies like this too?!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Wang's face turned solemn, and Wang Tiezhu, unable to accept that his knife had been modified, collapsed to the ground in despair.

A sense of gloom and a burning hatred welled up in everyone's hearts.

Just as the flames were about to reach their peak...

"Ah, the good news is that he didn't go too far; his body is intact, without even a single wound."

Jiang Shu breathed a sigh of relief after checking his body.

"What a joke! You call this not a single wound?!" the Overlord roared.

"I modified the decorative knife myself," Jiang Shu explained.

"Huh?"

"Because I'm sick."

"...Jade syndrome?"

"No, but it's quite serious."

"I can tell..."

At the same time, a string of garbled characters flashed before Jiang Shu's eyes.

[Mission Objective 1: Reclaim Your Body] [Completed]

[Mission objective two is now available...]

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Mission Objective Two - Higher Life Forms

You have just found your body, but discovered that it is afflicted by a terrible curse. You are unable to reclaim your soul, and you realize that it is all related to the doctor's experiments.

Perhaps... only when the doctor disappears will the curse end...

To reclaim your body and escape this dangerous castle, you decide to fight on.

[Mission Objective Two: Shatter the Doctor's Doll Kingdom Restoration Plan]

What do you mean?

Can't we switch it back now?

Jiang Shu remained calm and composed.

"Go find your bodies quickly, they should be nearby."

Sure enough, not long after, they all found their respective bodies and almost simultaneously achieved mission objective one, thus starting mission objective two.

Immediately following was a wail of pain.

"What? Can't I switch back to my own body now?"

The little gummy bear, who had initially felt relieved to see that its body was intact, was suddenly disappointed.

Ba Wang and Wang Tiezhu also felt somewhat confused.

"With this body we have now? Can we really do it?"

Even though they were not satisfied with the results, they did not show too much despair. They were actually mentally prepared that the catastrophic incubator would not let them pass through comfortably.

But for the Snow King, the reality was even crueler.

"So that's how it is...?" Her face was extremely pale.

Clearly, she realized something serious, something she had known for a long time but hadn't said for some reason.

The Snow Queen didn't keep her in suspense; before her companions could even ask, she said in despair:

"The mission has changed. Those in the safe mode can switch back to their original bodies now, and all they need to do is escape the castle."

Although the castle guards are still very dangerous, and each one is a formidable opponent, it is not impossible to escape their pursuit after regaining the power of the evolved beings.

But now...it's completely different. To reclaim our bodies, we must stop the doctor's plan, which means we must defeat him head-on. Only after everything is over can we lift the curse and regain our bodies.

This is the terrible feeling of entering the incubator with information only to find that the story takes a completely unexpected turn.

It's like a time traveler who becomes Tony Stark, has just escaped from a terrorist's lair using a suit of armor made from scrap materials, and after completing his beginner missions, is wondering whether to paint his Mark armor red or blue when Thanos stands in front of him.

Iron Man 1: Me vs. Thanos?

"If we can achieve that, then whether we get our bodies back or not won't matter anymore, right?" the Overlord said dejectedly.

"That's the problem." Snow King suddenly realized: "Now I know why other evolved beings couldn't conquer the area even though they had the information. The second stage is not only different, it's going in the completely opposite direction."

"It was originally just Temple Run, but now it's turned into Assassin's Creed...?" Little Bear felt like the sky had fallen.

"To be precise, it's Assassin's Creed 3," Jiang Shu corrected. "We don't have the opportunity to assassinate, so we have to become berserkers."

The same is true.

Except for the initial moment when the doctor came to wake them up, he was always surrounded by bodyguards.

However, given how difficult it was for everyone to deal with the worms, even the head maid couldn't compare, let alone the guards who even the head maid had to avoid.

He might become a berserker, but becoming a berserker is unlikely.

As they pondered, everyone's gazes turned to Jiang Shu in unison.

If the strength of the five of them is far from enough, then they have to consider the undeniable power that Jiang Shu possesses.

The creative workshop, and all the artisans within it.

Seeing everyone looking over, Jiang Shu shrugged.

"I was just thinking about this, but unfortunately, my current prestige can only guarantee that they will listen to me completely in their work. I even deliberately avoided other managers in this operation. As for gathering them to fight against Doraemon... I'm not sure if I can do it."

Upon hearing this, the others could only sigh in disappointment.

Seeing that everyone had lost their enthusiasm, Jiang Shu was not too discouraged.

Perhaps for others, the simpler the hatchery, the better, but for Jiang Shu, it's the opposite. If it's too simple, there's no challenge, and even if he succeeds, he won't feel any sense of accomplishment.

It's impossible to do now, but he has plenty of ways to do it.

For example... making the Big Head Dolls risk losing a lot of fairy tale doll materials by actively causing trouble for the workshop.

"We can talk about other things later. Time is almost up, let's take the body with us first."

As he spoke, Jiang Shu took his body out of the freezer and hoisted it onto his shoulder.

Seeing him do this, the others didn't think much of it and quickly took out their own bodies.

"Um...that..." Wang Tiezhu suddenly nudged Jiang Shu's lower back and whispered, "Do you want to wrap it up with a cloth?"

"Hmm?" Jiang Shu looked at the bodies in the other people's arms, and then at the body on her own shoulder.

Then he nodded in satisfaction: "This is the first time I've seen myself from this perspective. Not bad."

"I'm not blaming you for anything, and don't you even have the habit of grooming yourself regularly?!" Little Bear complained.

Upon hearing his words, Xue Wang and Wang Tiezhu looked embarrassed, their gazes shifting unnaturally elsewhere.

Jiang Shu remained unfazed: "I'm attempting to break the Guinness World Record and become the person with the thickest foliage in the world."

"Who asked you!"

In the end, Jiang Shu wrapped his body in a white cloth.
