Bai Chunian stared at the copy of the photo in his hand, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his whole body stiffened and trembled slightly.
Rimbaud listened closely to the movement outside the door. The security guards who had been lured away had already noticed the anomaly and rushed back to the reference room. If they go out now, they would definitely have a face-to-face meeting with them. The reference room was completely an enclosed room without windows to prevent theft from outside.
Bai Chunian also heard the hurried footsteps of the security guards, so he grabbed the contract into his arm, grabbed Rimbaud’s wrist with a hand, and signaled him with his eyes, “Come.” They quickly hid in the small space between the bookshelf and the corner of the reference room.
Rimbaud climbed up to the ceiling and used electromagnetic adsorption to adhere to the steel air duct in the ceiling so that he could crawl on the ceiling like a gecko.
The door of the reference room was opened by the security guard with a key and two uniformed security guards walked in. They all wore thermal scanners on their chests, and the moment they detected abnormal thermal targets, they would call the police.
The security guard checked the data rack routinely while walking. At the same time, Rimbaud crawled silently directly above his head, and because the merfolk’s body temperature was extremely low, the thermal detector did not sound an alarm.
But another security guard approached the bookshelf where Bai Chunian was hiding, and Rimbaud followed him from the ceiling expressionlessly. The teeth in his mouth sharpened, the corners of his lips split open and a set of triangular teeth slowly protruded from the gap, approaching the security guard’s head.
Holding his breath, Bai Chunian took out a tube of injection from his tactical belt and pricked his own arm. He leaned back lightly against the side of the bookshelf and remained motionless.
The injection was filled with Han Xingqian’s glandular serum, containing the M2 differentiation ability of pegasus glands, which could help him hide the heat-sensitive heartbeat and pheromone breath for ten minutes after injecting oneself.
Seeing that the thermal detector did not sound an alarm, the security immediately relaxed their vigilance, so they turned around and walked out, locking the door of the reference room again.
After the iron door closed, Bai Chunian breathed a sigh of relief, leaned against the bookshelf, and closed his eyes. His body slid down slowly, and he sat on the ground.
Han Xingqian sensed the effect of his serum and asked, “What’s going on?”
Bai Chunian said lightly, “It’s okay. I almost met the security guard, but luckily I hid the sniper rifle case in the ceiling of the utility room in advance.”
“Be careful, I can only make one or two serums for you at a time, don’t waste it.”
“En.”

Rimbaud lightly landed to the ground, his fishtail wrapped around Bai Chunian’s body as he embraced him in his arms.XiaoBai has been a human agent for more than four years, how could he put himself in such a dilemma.

“They used Pearl to supply energy to Eternal Undead, otherwise, how could Eternal Undead become the strongest experimental subject in the institute.” Bai Chunian looked at the ceiling and laughed, “It’s been almost four years, it must have been waiting for us to bring it back.”
Rimbaud leaned over and held his cheeks. “We are viviparous, and there is no way to survive if we die at the egg stage. It is really just an empty shell, there’s only some residue of my soul in it. There is no mind, and it would not wait like you said.”
“Let’s go first.” Bai Chunian stood up and staggered towards the door. He put the contract in his hand back to its original place, and checked if there were any signs of rummaging elsewhere.
When he turned around, Rimbaud was behind him. He immediately hugged Bai Chunian and whispered in Bai Chunian’s ear, “When you die in a hundred years, I will make them pay the price. You can just live smoothly and safely these years.”
“If I had a dad, he would definitely save me instead of hiding and pretending nothing had happened.” Bai Chunian grabbed his wrist, staring intensely, his lowered voice came out through gritted teeth.
Rimbaud forcefully restrained him, pulled the two communicators out of their ears and turned them off, grabbed his neck collar, and his pupils shrank into thin lines, looking viciously threatening, but the words that were unexpected were, “Enough is enough! Since you went to take revenge on the cultivation base without saying a word, I was worried. Why are you so disobedient? Is it because you are too rebellious, have too much self-esteem, are too hateful, and too impulsive? If you were my servant, I would crush you and wear you down until you lost all your sharp claws.”
The soft and magnetic voice awakened him with the scolding. Bai Chunian lowered his head, put his forehead on Rimbaud’s shoulder, and wrapped his arms around his waist. “Are you afraid? The king can be scared, too?”
Rimbaud looked to the side worriedly. “Siren is not omnipotent. I will admit, I can’t afford to lose you. I stay with you on land just to make you happy, but don’t rely on Siren’s love to do whatever you want.”
“I’m sorry.” Bai Chunian put on a cute expression and hugged him. “Don’t worry, even if I die, I will blend with the sea and sleep with you every day.”
“You’re not the sea, but mud—once you step into it, you’ll get stuck.”
“Okay, I’m stinky mud.” Bai Chunian couldn’t release a soothing pheromone here, so he gently stroked Rimbaud’s fins, and the corners of his lips were raised slightly. “Don’t be afraid, I didn’t say that I want to confront them, the 109 Research Institute will not get better, they will little by little feel the consequences. Turn on the communicator, let’s meet up with Lu Yan and Lanxing.”
When the two put the communicator back on, they heard a hissing noise.
“Chu-ge, there’s trouble.” Lu Yan panted heavily, as if he was running away. “We have found the location of the factory, but there is a monster guarding it that found us, and Lanxing was slightly injured, but it’s okay, we can still last a while, the bombs haven’t been installed yet.”
“What kind of thing?”
Bi Lanxing replied, “I’m searching for its information according to its appearance. It’s very tall, almost three meters high, with cyan skin, and it looks like a zombie.”
“…It’s Gargantuar. An A3-grade virus-type experimental subject, numbered 436. This is the bodyguard experimental subject next to Aileen. Who brought it here… Wait for me, we will be there soon, don’t alarm the Greyhound family people.”
Meanwhile, Han Xingqian had already gone to the room to examine his sister-in-law, while Xiao Xun was still in the living room, sitting upright in the corner listening to his elder uncle and his second uncle’s ruthless scolding, saying all kinds of harsh words.
The old man Xiao Changxiu sat in the front seat, leaning on his shiny black designer leather cane majestically, and said coldly, “XiaoXun, come here.”
The eldest brother Xiao Zichi still hated Xiao Xun’s limelight in the ATWL exam and at this moment he also taunted him, “Xiao Xun, grandpa is calling you. You just disappeared without saying a word, do you still have the Greyhound family in your eyes? You have lost all face of our family.”
Xiao Xun turned a deaf ear to his words, stood up and walked in front of the old man, raised his eyelids, and replied, “I went to school for the past two years, and after seeing the world, I realized why the Greyhound family doesn’t allow omega to learn too much, because once they have strength they won’t rely on alpha anymore, isn’t this the truth?”
“Has the world outside taught you to talk back to your elders as soon as you come back?” Grandpa Xiao raised his cane high and slammed it down on Xiao Xun’s right shoulder. “You should wake up first!”
Xiao Xun had a kind of fear of his majestic face from childhood. His mother died under this crutch. After so many years, Xiao Xun felt as if he could still see the dried-up blood in the cracks.
It was all because his mother accidentally stepped into the ancestral hall during her menstruation period during the anniversary of ancestor worship and a lamp happened to be extinguished by the wind. She was then scolded for disrespecting the ancestors. This cane beat his mother to death in front of him, the blood flowed and stained the floor red, some stains got into the cracks of the floor tiles, and it took three years to wash them clean. Everyone was used to such scenes happening, and it didn’t seem like a big deal for a woman to die in the depths of this house.
Several cousins were delighted to see him lose face. Xiao Zizhe rubbed half of his swollen cheeks to watch him being trained, and he felt much happier in his heart.
Han Xingqian spoke in his ear at the right time, “Xun Xun, we are here to cause trouble, so don’t be too polite. If you break something, I will reset it. If you offend someone, at worst, Chu-gewill use Annihilate on them. We are all here with you and no one can touch you.”
When the cane was about to fall on Xiao Xun’s shoulder, Xiao Xun raised his hand and caught the cane, firmly grabbing it.
The old man was taken aback by his actions. In the entire Greyhound family, no one dared to disobey the head of the family in public. This Xiao Xun was really rebellious.
The uncles were so angry that they stood up from their chairs. Xiao Xun stood where he was, strong pheromones emitted from his glands, and the M2 oppressive pheromone pushed them back to their seats.
Although the Greyhound family had hired hunters for generations, most of them were standing in high positions and hiring external super killers with high levels of ability to work. They were more in charge of the operation, their specialty was seeing all directions and listening to all directions. In the final analysis, they were businessmen in the dark. The sons of the Greyhound family were only differentiated to J1, even the old man was no more than M2, let alone other grandchildren.
In the IOA, there were so many geniuses because Greenfly Island was a special training base where talented teenagers gathered, and Xiao Xun’s level was indeed not enough, but in a family where the strength was gradually declining due to long-term intermarriage in the same clan and between distant relatives, Xiao Xun was outstanding, which was why he never dared to reveal his level at home.
Xiao Xun put his cane flat on the ground, looked straight at the old man, and said, “I’m just here to participate in the hunting fair. I’ll leave after the competition and won’t bother your eyes anymore, so don’t waste your anger. Save it for when my cousins lose until they’re left with only underwear and see how the alphas that had been held in the palm of your hand for so long, fearing that it will sustain any harm, will give you a long face.”
When Xiao Xun showed his differentiation level, Xiao Zizhe’s arrogance suddenly weakened, and he looked at him with his mouth half open.
The old man had never seen such an arrogant and disrespectful younger generation and an omega at that. Immediately, he became furious and pointed at Xiao Xun’s nose. Before he could reprimand him, a servant hurried over and whispered in the old man’s ear, “Sixth Uncle has returned.”
The old man was angry again, his heart was congested, and he waved his hand.
Before the servant could go back to invite her, a greyhound omega walked in with his hands in his pockets. His long, smoke-blue hair was loosely tied and hung on his shoulders, he appeared in the living room with narrowed eyes and a faint smile.
He should be in his thirties, but he looked like he was only in his mid-twenties as he was so well-maintained. He wore a white jacket over a thin black T-shirt. His eyes were squinted into two crescent moons, seemingly appearing kind, but with an inexplicable gloomy feeling.
Perhaps the eldest uncle hadn’t seen the sixth brother for a long time, and he had a bad look on his face the first time he saw him.
Xiao Zizhe cursed in a low voice, “It’s all on the same day, what a shit luck.”
When the family mentioned the sixth uncle, Xiao Yang, they all scoffed, that disaster star, his husband died on the first day of marriage, so Xiao Zizhe was also deeply disgusted.
This curse was not loud, and it was not obvious in the crowded reception room, but Xiao Yang seemed to have noticed it. He tilted his head slightly, narrowed his eyes, and glanced at Xiao Zizhe with a smile.
Xiao Yang scanned the people around him, fixed his eyes on Xiao Xun, and smiled cordially. “I heard that Xunxun brought a doctor to see his sister-in-law. With me here, why does my niece need outsiders to see her?”
Xiao Xun couldn’t figure out why he came, so he kept silent.
Xiao Yang smiled and looked at the old man in the main seat. “Although studying medicine can’t save the rotten roots of the Greyhound family, but niece and daughter-in-law are innocent, I still have to come and see them to be at ease.”
The sixth son appeared to be kind and gentle on the surface, but there was an undercurrent of arrogance in his body. The old man was once again angered and his blood pressure went up.
Xiao Xun noticed that the situation had changed, and while people’s eyes were all focused on Sixth Uncle, who appeared inexplicably, he quietly retreated towards the door.
When he brushed past Sixth Uncle, Xiao Yang tilted his head and smiled, and by turning sideways to block other people’s sight, he said to him in a faint voice.
“I’ll stay here until the processing of the raw materials is finished, good boy, don’t have crooked thoughts, I’ll be watching.”
