Chapter 115: Chapter 114: Bai Su’s Clever Use of Clones
The two stood facing each other.
Bai Su looked at his youthful features, and her heart couldn’t help but soften. "You’re my child, aren’t you? I’ve been looking for you for the past six months..."
"I sold you because I couldn’t afford to raise you all. I thought that if you went out into the world and found your own way, everyone could survive. I had no other choice."
"Ever since I started making money, I’ve been posting information online to find you. Please, come home with me, okay?"
She looked at the little guy sincerely, her eyes filled with hope and honesty.
"Home?" A flash of mockery crossed Little White Spider’s eyes before he reverted to his obedient and elegant demeanor. "Alright."
His small, soft body scooted closer, and he wrapped his arms around Bai Su’s waist.
He pressed his face against her stomach, looking perfectly obedient and docile, but for some reason, it sent a chill down Bai Su’s spine, making her hair stand on end.
If her hands and feet weren’t tied up by him, the scene might have been a bit more heartwarming.
Little White Spider was taller than both Bai Xiaolang and Bai Xiaoshe, appearing long and slender.
Though he was still very young, he already possessed the characteristic long, slender limbs of a White Spider Beastman.
Bai Su pressed her lips together, looking at him with a complicated expression. "Sweetheart, you came looking for me tonight on purpose, didn’t you? I saw you in the crowd right away."
"I really want our family to be reunited. You also have a little sister, a little lizard, and everyone misses you two so much. Little Wolf, Little Snake, and I wait for you to come back every day."
Upon hearing the names Bai Xiaolang and Bai Xiaoshe, a flicker of hesitation crossed Little White Spider’s eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a cold severity.
He affectionately nuzzled Bai Su’s stomach, but his face wore a somber expression. "Of course I came looking for you on purpose."
With a sickening SQUELCH, a small, youthful hand plunged straight through Bai Su’s stomach.
Fresh blood instantly gushed out.
Bai Su let out a muffled groan, staring at him in disbelief. "You..."
Little White Spider expressionlessly pulled out his hand. The front part of his previously soft, pale hand had undergone Beastification, transforming into a milky-white, translucent spider’s foreleg.
It was an incredibly sharp blade.
The foreleg had pores on it—a unique trait of the White Spider Beastman—which could secrete a fluid to paralyze prey.
Little White Spider looked at her coldly. "My apologies, but I don’t trust you one bit."
Bai Su felt the pain in her stomach gradually fade away, until it went numb.
Little White Spider manipulated his two sharp forelegs, cutting something inside her stomach.
Bai Su’s face grew pale, and the loss of blood made her shiver uncontrollably from the cold.
"What are you doing..." Her voice was unbelievably weak.
Little White Spider didn’t speak, merely continuing to quietly extract something from her stomach.
Suddenly, Bai Su noticed the pendant on his neck. The symbol was so familiar.
’Is that... the Medical Alliance?!’
Yelias had mentioned them to her before. They were an internationally infamous medical organization that specialized in human experimentation, conducting dirty deals through cruel methods.
’He’s actually a member of the Medical Alliance?!’
’No wonder Lu Tingyan’s men searched for so long without finding him.’
Bai Su’s lips parted, wanting to say something, but her eyes just reddened as she choked back a sob. "My baby..."
Large teardrops suddenly fell, landing on his foreleg and splashing into tiny droplets.
Little White Spider’s movements abruptly froze.
He looked up and met Bai Su’s gaze, a hint of bewilderment in his eyes.
’Is this woman insane?’
’I’m dissecting her, and she...’
’...feels sorry for me?’
Little White Spider pressed his lips together. He was here today with a mission.
If he didn’t dissect the remaining half of Bai Su’s womb and bring it back intact, he would be the one to die.
While he was living on the streets, he was noticed by the Medical Alliance for his talent after suturing the wound of a little girl with a broken leg, and they took him in.
At that time, it had only been a month since Bai Su had sold him, and the wounds on his body from being beaten hadn’t fully healed.
A long laceration on his arm had become inflamed and was oozing pus in the sweltering summer heat.
The family that bought him, fearing he had an infectious disease, didn’t want him anymore and threw him out.
When he was taken to the Medical Alliance, he was locked up with a large group of desperate Beastman outlaws.
Every day was filled with endless training.
Out of a hundred people, everyone had to race to dissect the corpse in their hands in the fastest and most precise manner. Only the first place winner would survive.
Every day, hundreds, even thousands, were eliminated and sent to the Medical Alliance’s underground "pasture" to become "livestock" awaiting slaughter for specimen use.
From the moment he opened his eyes each day, he studied and trained, his nerves perpetually taut to avoid being whipped and eliminated.
But he was simply too beautiful, the most stunning and eye-catching Little Beastman in the entire Alliance base, which easily attracted some perverts.
So, from that point on, he learned to kill.
It seemed he didn’t need to learn the anatomy of many Beastmen; the knowledge was innately present in his mind. He could easily see through their physical structures, using his spider silk to pierce their vital points for a one-hit kill.
His Ice Seal Ability had awakened when he was once cornered and forced into a desperate situation by three perverted Beastmen.
That was the first time he discovered he had the ability to control water and freeze it into ice.
With this ability, he could secretly manipulate the blood in other Beastmen’s bodies, causing it to freeze solid and instantly pierce their hearts.
No external wounds would be visible.
The Medical Alliance discovered his ability and began to cultivate him as a priority.
Only then did he manage to enter the elite echelon of the Medical Alliance, escaping the daily environment of hundred-person deathmatches.
By chance, he saw a set of data on Bai Su in the Alliance’s core project team and learned that they were trying to research and crack her genetics, wanting to clone her genes.
It was said that she was the only female on the entire continent with the potential to break through from Level 9 and evolve to Level 10.
This would be a milestone for the entire Beast World Continent and would shatter the existing Level system for all Beastmen.
And once the Medical Alliance cracked Bai Su’s genetic code, they would be able to clone an identical womb.
However, it seemed they didn’t have a complete specimen of Bai Su’s womb.
And that was the reason for his mission today.
Regardless of whether he was willing or not, they had already implanted a chip in his brain.
Either work for them, or die.
Little White Spider looked at Bai Su, didn’t answer her, and turned to leave coldly.
The spiderwebs binding Bai Su fell away, and she lost all support, collapsing to the ground.
Hidden in a distant corner, the real Bai Su and another Clone watched from the shadows.
Clone No. 1: "Should we go save her?"
The real Bai Su, her face pale, shook her head. "It’s just a Clone. No need."
’Although it’s a Clone, our senses are linked and I can’t block it.’
’That little bastard really didn’t pull his punches. When I get him back, I’m going to tan his hide for this!’
Clone No. 1 looked at the other Clone with pity. "But that little punk took her womb. Is that okay?"
Bai Su shook her head. "It’s not a big problem. I’ve already sent another Clone to get Lu Tingyan."
"That kid’s objective was too clear. Someone must be pulling the strings."
"He took the womb from my Clone. It’s a fake. It can’t be transplanted, and they can’t research its genes. It’s better to wait for Lu Tingyan to arrive and have someone follow him secretly."
Clone No. 1 stared at her blankly. "How are you so smart?"
The real Bai Su: "...As my Clone, isn’t it stranger that you’re so dumb?"
Clone No. 1 shrugged. "Maybe you took all the brains."
"Susu!" Suddenly, Yelias rushed over and scooped up the blood-soaked Clone No. 2 from the ground.
Just off the winding path, Clone No. 1 spread her hands and mouthed to Bai Su, "Looks like someone’s Clone Skill is about to be exposed!"
Bai Su: "..."
She was just about to go out and explain when she suddenly stopped and crouched back down.
Clone No. 1: "?"
Bai Su made Clone No. 2, who was on the ground, weakly open her eyes. "Yelias..."
Yelias’s breath hitched, a rare panic flickering in his eyes.
In pain and weakness, Clone No. 2 reached for him. "Save me... If you stitch up my stomach, I won’t die, right?"
A hint of conflict flashed in Yelias’s eyes. "Susu..."
’No, I can’t overcome my mental block.’
Clone No. 2 gripped his hand. "It’s okay. Just pretend you’re stitching up a little fish or a shrimp. It’s the same, right...?"
After saying that, she vomited another pool of fresh blood.
While the two over there were locked in a tragic life-and-death struggle, the real body and the clone in the corner were craning their necks, munching on popcorn as they watched the show.
Clone No. 1: "I’m impressed. The doctor is on the verge of tears, and you don’t feel sorry for him at all?"
Bai Su: "Pity a man, and be unlucky for a lifetime."
Clone No. 1: "..."
