Chapter 101: Terrifying Radiation, Kill the Malevolent Fetus

Chapter 101: Terrifying Radiation, Kill the Malevolent Fetus

Ji Yan yanked his hand back violently.

Yet his right hand now looked as if it had been doused in sulfuric acid, flesh and blood melting into pools of gore that splattered onto the floor.

Among the mess, the [Other Shore Scalpel] clattered to the ground.

Ji Yan could clearly see his own pale finger bones embedded in the pulped meat…

He felt no pain, only shock and confusion flooding his mind.

"What’s going on?"

"Which landmine did I step on? Why am I taking unknown damage?"

Ji Yan sniffed the air, tracing the source of the danger.

His gaze shifted until it settled on the Supernatural Pregnant Woman lying on the surgery bed.

At that moment, her mouth slowly parted, her entire face twisted with malice and hatred.

This was an unmistakable sign of Blackening!

Why was the Supernatural Pregnant Woman attacking him?

Ji Yan’s expression darkened in bewilderment.

"Teacher, you’re hurt."

The Ghostly Nurse moved to check on him.

In the next second, she was sent flying by a terrifying surge of Specter Power, slamming into the wall with enough force to nearly shatter her body, her skin splitting open.

The Supernatural Pregnant Woman was attacking indiscriminately!

"The mission briefing said that as long as I harbor no ill intent, the Supernatural Pregnant Woman wouldn’t Blacken or attack."

"She’s tormented by the Malevolent Fetus in her belly. I’m performing surgery on her—why is she still interpreting this as malice?"

Ji Yan wondered if it was because of the cesarean section. He tried approaching her again without the scalpel.

Yet, the moment he neared her stomach, another horrific assault struck him.

This time, Ji Yan felt utterly drained.

As he staggered back, blood trickled from his nose.

Clumps of hair fell from his scalp.

It was as if he’d been exposed to lethal radiation!

Fortunately, Ji Yan’s transplanted [Supernatural Organs]—his enhanced heart, lungs, kidneys, spleen, and liver—forced his body to cling to life, enduring the terrifying supernatural radiation.

Even the rotting of his right hand was visibly healing at an accelerated rate…

Wiping the blood from his nose and mouth, Ji Yan fixed his gaze on the Supernatural Pregnant Woman lying on the bed, but he couldn’t trigger [Omniscient Understanding].

This buggy [Talent] had been strengthened by collecting fragments in the last Instance, gaining a [Gaze Trigger] feature.

But apparently, against slightly stronger Supernatural Entities, staring didn’t do squat!

As the tiny hand- and footprints on her belly appeared more and more frequently, the Supernatural Pregnant Woman’s agony intensified.

Her mouth gaped open, releasing hoarse, pained rasps from her throat!

Her limbs convulsed, her face contorting into something monstrous.

She was clearly suffering, yet she was also Blackening, preventing Ji Yan from approaching her stomach.

What kind of madness was this?!

Noticing her continued agony and Blackening, Ji Yan retreated again.

But no matter how far he backed away, the Supernatural Pregnant Woman’s Blackening showed no signs of easing.

Her body’s reactions grew more violent—her belly swelled further, veins crawling densely across her skin, while a foul, dark-red fluid gushed from beneath her skirt.

"What’s happening?"

"I’m not doing anything! Why is her Blackening getting worse?"

Ji Yan’s heart pounded with alarm as blood gushed uncontrollably from his nose again.

Patches of hair fell out, his skin ulcerating, corpse spots blooming across his flesh.

He could feel the supernatural radiation savagely corroding his body, while his [Supernatural Organs] struggled to stave off total collapse.

If this were any other Player, they’d have been long dead by now.

"As expected, this mission isn't so simple."

"An [Epic] Supernatural Artifact wouldn't be so easily obtained, would it?"

Completely baffled, Ji Yan had no choice but to open the mission panel, preparing to forcibly terminate the mission and exit the ward.

Once it ended, the Supernatural Pregnant Woman's hostility would immediately dissipate.

"Ding! The player is currently inside the ward. During the mission, termination is prohibited. The mission must be completed before exiting."

The pop-up notification left Ji Yan stunned.

No exit allowed?

A Free Mission—why would it prohibit exiting?

Moreover, the game's prompts had clearly stated that players could exit anytime after starting the mission.

Was the game panel deceiving him?

Ji Yan found it impossible to believe. The Supernatural Game had never encountered such a situation before.

If even the game panel could mislead players, the entire Supernatural Game would lose its meaning.

"Teacher, you must leave the ward as soon as possible."

"Your condition is dire."

The Ghostly Nurse by the wall spoke up, reminding him. In her eyes, Ji Yan's hair had nearly fallen out, his skin was ulcerated all over, and he resembled a critically ill old man.

Ji Yan felt his vocal cords had also suffered damage, his voice unnaturally hoarse: "If I could leave, I would have done so long ago..."

The Ghostly Nurse continued, "The Teacher can use privileges to leave."

Privileges...

The word immediately reminded Ji Yan of the two Sheepskin Scrolls.

Right—the privileges of the Sheepskin Scrolls might forcibly break the ward's constraints and allow him to exit.

But why would the Ghostly Nurse suddenly suggest using privileges?

Considering the Ghostly Nurse was likely a pawn of the Dragon Player, Ji Yan faintly sensed that behind this ward lay an even deadlier trap...

One just waiting for him to step into it.

At this moment, he felt blood seeping from all seven orifices of his head. If this continued, even his [Supernatural Organs] would fail to sustain him.

Gritting his teeth, Ji Yan stood up and walked toward the Supernatural Pregnant Woman.

Seeing this, the Ghostly Nurse hurriedly tried to stop him.

Ignoring her, Ji Yan strode toward the Surgery Bed.

One step...

Two steps...

Three steps...

...

Almost there—just a little more, and he could reach her!

Ji Yan realized his right eye could no longer see.

His hand touched it—only to find his right Eyeball had fallen into his palm, still connected by a bloody optic nerve...

Unfazed, Ji Yan pressed on, finally lifting his arm with great difficulty and pressing his palm against the Supernatural Pregnant Woman's face.

"Ding! Congratulations, player. You have triggered the Talent [Omniscient Understanding] and successfully obtained Hidden Information."

"Supernatural Entity Type: Nuclear Radiation Supernatural Entity."

"Background Information: Born from death due to exposure to lethal elements and Terrifying Radiation. Upon sensing danger, it releases Terrifying Radiation, harming only players while ignoring the protection of Supernatural Artifacts."

"Hidden Information: The Pregnant Woman Supernatural Entity is indeed carrying the Malevolent Fetus—but only one. She is merely protecting another healthy child, even devoting all nutrients to it. She harbors indiscriminate malice toward anything approaching the child in her womb. How dare you think of cutting her belly open?"

Twins?

Ji Yan's eyes lit up.

So that's how it was!

The mission panel hadn't explained this at all.

Moreover, according to the Hidden Information, the Malevolent Fetus had already left the womb—it was just unclear where it was hiding now.

As he spoke, Ji Yan coughed up a mouthful of blood.

He clutched his left eyeball, which was on the verge of falling out, and leaned close to the Supernatural Pregnant Woman's ear. With the aid of Hidden Information, he began his explanation.

He didn’t know if this interaction would work, but he had no choice but to try. Fortunately, the Supernatural Pregnant Woman’s Terrifying Radiation was indeed gradually receding and weakening.

She was listening!

At least he could breathe a sigh of relief. At this moment, Ji Yan looked as if he had just escaped a sea of fire—not a single inch of his skin was intact.

The Supernatural Pregnant Woman had truly withdrawn her Terrifying Radiation.

But with blood-stained fingertips, she left a few crooked words along the edge of the Surgery Bed:

"Malevolent Fetus doesn’t die, you die."

The Supernatural Pregnant Woman was desperate to kill the Malevolent Fetus.

Because she feared that once her healthy child was born, it would inevitably be devoured by the Malevolent Fetus!

Ji Yan had no choice but to agree. Gripping the edge of the bed, he straightened his posture.

He stared into the empty ward.

Though it was completely barren and seemingly devoid of hiding places, he couldn’t find a single trace of the Supernatural Fetus...
