No strange things are allowed to evolve!

"..."

Seeing this, Jiang Shu grabbed its intestines and pulled them out: "Speak!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The rat-headed beast cried out in pain and had no choice but to submit: "These unfilial descendants have offended you, hero. They deserve to die. Hero... hero, stop! You're really going to drag them out!"

Jiang Shu turned to look around. They'd made such a commotion, yet KocoCola and the others hadn't reacted at all. Could it be...?

"Where are my companions?" Jiang Shu asked sternly.

"They're all...they're all unconscious." The rat-headed beast was covered in sweat, struggling against the unbearable physical reaction while also dealing with Jiang Shu's interrogation: "I'm not good at fighting, but I'm good at stealth and casting spells. Casting spells takes time, and in such a short time, I don't have enough time to kill them. Don't worry, hero."

"What about the one inside?"

"That woman? She's a bit tough to deal with, and her resistance is quite high. So I first put her into a hallucination, making her think she was fighting me, and used that opportunity to deplete her strength. When she's exhausted, she'll be affected by other things. Right now... even if she hasn't fainted, she should be quite weak." The rat-headed beast answered honestly.

"Well, so it's safe for now." Jiang Shu nodded and ignored them for the time being. Anyway, the rat's life was in his hands now, so he wasn't afraid of the rat playing tricks. "Continue."

The rat-headed beast was taken aback: "What did you say?"

"Still dare to be stubborn?!" Impatient, Jiang Shu simply stretched out her fingernails and pinched the tender flesh on her intestines, twisting it hard.

The bodies of rodents and humans are very similar. Although the intestines do not have a rich network of pain receptors, stimulation of the intestines can still affect surrounding tissues and cause other types of pain.

After only a brief delay, the rat-headed beast felt a sharp pain in its stomach.

Its face, which was clearly covered with black fur, inexplicably appeared pale at this moment.

It clutched its stomach in pain, curled up with difficulty, and roared, "I'm not being stubborn! Ask me what you want to know!"

"Oh, sorry, I didn't ask." Jiang Shu coughed twice. "Why bring in innocent ordinary people from outside?"

Upon hearing this, the rat-headed beast suddenly stammered, "That...that's because..."

"Will you talk or not?!"

Jiang Shu twisted his left fist, twisting the rat-headed beast's intestines until they looked like hot dry noodles covered in sesame paste.

"Please, sir, don't!" the rat-headed beast begged hastily. "I'll talk, I'll talk!"

"You still dare not talk?! You still dare not talk?!"

"I said it!!"

"Oh, go ahead and tell me, I thought you weren't going to say anything, you little rascal." Jiang Shu chuckled.

Upon hearing this, the rat-headed beast was filled with fear.

It finally understood that this guy was a pure sadist.

Whether you answer or not, you'll be bombarded with questions, and the other person might even be hoping you won't answer their questions.

That's right.

The rat-headed beast swallowed hard.

"A few days ago, a big shot approached me and asked me to find materials for his blood sacrifice. If possible, it would be best if there were evolved beings among them."

So I captured some humans from the outside world while trying to see if I could trick some evolved beings into coming over.

"Speaking of which, wasn't that one of your companions yesterday? Actually, I intended to capture him alive, but because I didn't want to hurt him, he escaped instead. In a way, it's like I let him go, right? My friend, please spare me for this sake."

Jiang Shu certainly wouldn't let the other party off the hook. Even ignoring the other party's strange logic, he didn't know that person, so why should he let it go for the sake of this matter?

So he ignored the other person's pleas and asked, "What is blood sacrifice?"

"Blood sacrifice is a special ritual that uses humans as sacrifices to transfer life force to the recipient."

As the rat-headed beast spoke, it cautiously observed Jiang Shu's reaction. Seeing that he did not become angry, it continued:

"This ritual is only effective on non-human evolved beings. It can strengthen the body, improve aptitude, and heal injuries. It can even help non-human evolved beings transform into humans. If there is a human evolved being among the sacrifices, the effect will be greatly enhanced."

"Have you ever performed a blood sacrifice?" Jiang Shu asked.

The rat-headed beast shook its head: "No, I wouldn't dare. For an evolved being like me without any backing, daring to do something so immoral would probably get me killed very soon."

Jiang Shu nodded, then asked, "So who is that important person?"

"This..." The rat-headed beast hesitated for a moment, but then its intestines started to hurt again, so it immediately replied, "That big shot is a member of the Rebels. He promised that as long as I prepare a blood sacrifice, he can let me join the Rebels, have a big organization behind me, and provide me with the tools for ascension that I need."

"A rebel?" Jiang Shu was taken aback.

Why is it this organization again?

The little gummy bear that caused trouble before seems to be one of the rebels. After mentioning it to Shen Mo, the other party said not to worry for the time being, and that he would keep an eye out for it. But then they ran into each other again.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Shu asked again, "Why did they ask you to prepare a blood sacrifice?"

This time, the Rat-Headed Beast didn't hesitate: "It seems to be for healing. One of their members was seriously injured and needs a blood sacrifice ritual."

“Hmm…” Jiang Shu pondered.

In order to treat the wounded members, they captured ordinary people from outside and even planned to lure executives from the Bureau of Alienation. These rebels are truly lawless.

This is no ordinary act of defiance; we must strike hard!

However, looking at it from another angle, the fact that they are willing to pay such a high price and risk being discovered by the Bureau of Unification suggests that things here are not so simple.

We need to get back to the station as soon as possible and tell Shen Mo.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shu sneered at the rat-headed beast: "Do you know what stupid thing you did? You dared to go against the Bureau of Different Organizations just to help an organization that didn't even accept you."

"It's only because of me. If it were anyone else, they might not have given you a chance to confess and get leniency. They might have just slapped you to death, and no one would even know you were acting under the orders of the rebels. You'd be a scapegoat, and even if you died, it would have been for nothing."

To Jiang Shu's surprise, the rat-headed beast did not suddenly become sober. It simply said helplessly, "I know, but there's nothing I can do. I'm just average, and my spiritual root level is low. Even at level six, I still have to use tricks to deal with you guys. I don't dare to confront you directly."

Tell me, what organization would want me? On my own, I have no chance of advancement, and I might even struggle to protect myself. So for this opportunity, I'd rather take the blame than be a scapegoat. I have to gamble.

Jiang Shu shook his head.

It's actually a level six evolver? What happened to the monitoring department's promise that they wouldn't make mistakes and that the threat couldn't possibly reach level six?

Looking at the rat-headed beast, Jiang Shu couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that its strength was too weak and its value was too low, so it was simply judged as not reaching level six?

Thinking this, Jiang Shu casually said, "Gamblers will die."

The rat-headed beast could only smile bitterly when it was scolded. It had no way to deal with Jiang Shu, just like it could only be a weather vane and go with the flow when facing a rebel.

"Forget it." Jiang Shu was too lazy to say anything more to it: "Help me break the curse you put on my companion, then release the people you captured, and come back with me to turn ourselves in. Maybe we can get leniency."

"Ugh..."

The rat-headed beast sighed.

I never imagined that so many descendants would die and such a huge price would be paid, only to have it all come to naught.

However, it changed its mind.

Does this mean I can escape Jiang Shu's clutches?

Then it became happy again.

At this moment, Jiang Shu suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something important: "Right, when does the blood sacrifice ritual begin, and when will the person who is healing the wounded arrive?"

Jiang Shu plans to use a sting operation to enforce the law.

This mission, coupled with crucial intelligence, could potentially yield significant rewards if we also manage to apprehend wicked practitioners who commit heinous crimes.

I'll see if there are any items that can make up for my speed weakness, and I'll get one and carry it with me so that I won't be left behind when I run away next time something happens.

He transformed into a different Bolt, and whoever ran the slowest went to the front row.

Just as Jiang Shu was making meticulous plans, things went wrong from the very beginning.

"Right away," the rat-headed beast replied.

"What?" Jiang Shu thought he had misheard.

Then the rat-headed beast repeated: "The scheduled time is in five minutes, and the person will be here soon."

Five minutes...

It seems too late to evacuate now.

Jiang Shu's eyes widened: "Why didn't you say so sooner?!"

"You didn't ask!"

"I really have control over you!"

......

A figure completely covered up appeared at the entrance of the canyon.

His entire body was covered except for a pair of sinister eyes.

Upon seeing the rat-headed beast, he gave the code: "It's me, the rat..."

The rat-headed beast replied with the next line: "This life has been such a failure."

The man lowered his guard and asked, "Are you ready?"

"Hmm," the rat-headed beast replied, "Everything is ready, ten people in total."

"Ten? That's not many?" The man's eyes showed displeasure.

The rat-headed beast hurriedly said, "But there are four other evolved beings inside, one level five and three level four."

"Wow!" the man exclaimed, his eyes filled with joy. "Not bad, not bad at all. I'll report this to the organization when I get back and give you credit."

The rat-headed beast humbly replied, "Not at all, I only hope you can put in a good word for me. If you can help me achieve enlightenment, I will be grateful and content."

Where is he/she?

"It's inside."

The man nodded, indicating he was about to go inside.

But then he suddenly noticed something and asked, "You don't transform, so why are you wearing human clothes, and... they don't fit you at all."

Upon hearing this, the rat-headed beast lowered its head and looked down.

It was wrapped in a large piece of colorful velvet cloth around its waist, somewhat resembling a skirt.

There is a huge bulge on his buttocks.

Jiang Shu was hiding inside!

Sensing the words Jiang Shu wrote with his finger inside his intestines, the rat-headed beast replied helplessly and with shame, "I was born with a round buttocks, so I have to cover them up. Otherwise, it would be a torment for anyone who sees them. By the way, do you want to take a look?"

"Uh, no need then." The man waved his hand repeatedly.

After saying this, the rat-headed beast felt like dying.

But on the surface, you still have to smile and say, "I'm just that hospitable. Please help yourself if you need anything."

The man felt goosebumps rise all over his body, and he trembled involuntarily. He forced a smile and said, "Please lead the way first."

Upon hearing this, the rat-headed beast walked towards the basin.

The man followed behind it, gradually becoming more relaxed from his initial wariness.

As I walked, I even took off my mask and breathed in the fresh air.

The instant he removed his mask, Jiang Shu, who was observing him through a small hole in the fabric, suddenly narrowed his eyes—

The abbot of Yunfu Temple?!

Place bowls on the shelf

It will be officially available tomorrow at noon!

The book took 43 days to complete, with a total of 254,000 words, averaging nearly 6,000 words per day. For a new author like me, who is still very new to the world, this was not only the longest new book period in my history, but also the period with the most frequent and numerous updates.

They worked so hard during the free period, so there's no need to say more after it's officially released. Please feel free to subscribe!

First, let me answer everyone's questions about whether I am Mikoto Reincarnated. I can only say that he has no objection, and if he has an objection, let him come find me.

As for readers who, because my protagonist's name contains the character "束" (shù), are reminded of another heavyweight work, I can only say that it's a pity; it's just a coincidence. I haven't read that book before. As for why they share the same name, perhaps geniuses always find common ground...

Then let's talk about the book.

It wasn't easy for this book to get this far. The initial data wasn't ideal. On the first day of the new book's release with 30,000 words, it only had seven favorites. By the time it reached 50,000 words, it had less than 100 favorites. The number of readers following the book was even worse. I've never had such a terrible start before.

When I was putting the book into the archive, I went to Ziliang, the editor who had been with me for six years, and asked him if he could still write.

He said, "Let's write it and see how it goes."

I asked him, "Can trying something change your fate?"
