A few minutes later.

Carrying a large pile of flesh and wrapped only in a bedsheet, Lin En hurriedly returned to his Apothecary.

The hall was in ruins, a complete mess after yesterday's battle.

Lin En wasted no time.

He quickly retrieved the Soul Lantern, lit it, and hung it on the doorpost before rushing into the backyard.

The attic and front hall were damaged.

However, most of the backyard remained intact.

The cellar was open.

Clearly, Little Baby had returned.

But Lin En had no time to deal with that guy now; his situation was extremely urgent.

"Calm down, let me think."

Lin En quickly composed himself, his mind racing.

"If there's a mutation in the body, how should I handle it? I remember the teacher should have some books on this..."

Without further ado.

Lin En swiftly rushed to the basement, kicked open the door, and hurried to his teacher's library.

Normally, the teacher would never allow him in here.

But now, the situation was critical.

He had to quickly find out about the mutation in his body.

...

Rustle, rustle—

In the library, Lin En lit a candle, put on a monocle, his expression serious as he quickly flipped through a large number of books.

"Malignant Cell Mutations Induced by Radiation"

"One Hundred Creepy Curses Leading to Body Distortion"

"Novel: The Unspoken Story of the Mutant Lolita and Her Tentacles"

"Guide: Thirty-Five Practical Ways to Tame Evil Spirits"

Lin En dug out a large number of professional books from various hidden corners and quickly browsed through them.

Stolen story; please report.

He read for over an hour.

Snap—

Lin En closed the book with a serious look.

"One hundred methods, try each one first. If it doesn't work, take a risk!"

After thorough consideration, Lin En summarized the following points.

First, the malignant mutation in his body should currently be in a dormant phase, or due to some special reason, it couldn't immediately revive and kill him.

The logic was simple.

If the mutation could revive now, the System wouldn't have given him a half-day time limit task.

Second, it's uncontrollable and might have its own will.

Third, the creature that was hollowed out should be the mutation currently in his body, possessing immense destructive power, which he certainly couldn't defeat.

Fourth, the System had provided him with additional help.

Lin En, with a calm expression, quickly opened the skill list.

[Infectious Aura] [Curse Diagnosis] [Function: Flesh Catastrophe]

Lin En's pupils instantly contracted.

That's right!

It was the skill he gained from completing the Blood Night mission.

[Function: Flesh Catastrophe]

[Quality: Special]

[Description]: A power obtained through intense flesh restructuring and violent mutation, allowing the host to freely control their flesh for secondary restructuring and growth, with the ability limit depending on the host's Constitution points.

"Flesh control?"

Lin En gazed deeply at his hands.

It seemed that the life-and-death battle with that creature last night unexpectedly granted him a brand-new special ability.

No matter what.

Let's test its effect first!

Lin En immediately closed his eyes, focusing his will on a part of his body.

Buzz—

In an instant, Lin En's pupils dilated sharply.

He felt it...

He felt that wonderful change!

Indeed!

This ability truly allowed him to restructure his flesh as he wished.

"Holy crap~~ It's indeed bigger and more robust, this skill is awesome! Invincible!"

No!

Lin En quickly calmed down.

Now wasn't the time to think about these strange things or the peculiar uses of this skill. The top priority was determining the mutation inside his body.

Moreover, not only determining it but also finding a way to suppress it.

And.

If the creature from last night was devoured by the mutation, where would such a large amount of flesh be stored?

His thin body certainly couldn't hold that much flesh!

And he could clearly feel.

His weight hadn't changed abnormally.

"Let's assume the flesh is still inside me and hasn't been metabolized out, just that the mutation's special existence makes me unable to perceive it."

Lin En pondered.

"And since the mutation is still inside me, any anomaly in my body will surely affect it, as we're sharing the same body..."

"If that's the case..."

Lin En squinted, a dangerous glint in his eyes.

He silently turned his head, his gaze landing on a bottle in the corner.

Barely visible, the words "Enemy" "Enemy" "Fear" were written on it.

The surroundings fell into an eerie silence.

...

...

"Oh! Let's do it!!"

The next moment, Lin En, with a (艹皿艹) expression, grabbed the bottle of dichlorvos, unscrewed the cap, and gulped it down!

This was the ultimate insecticide he had recreated based on memories from before his transmigration, after studying alchemy with his teacher for two years.

Drinking it would surely cause severe diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and various complications, making you wish for death!

But a true man!

Never fears dichlorvos!

[Warning! Host life loss, abnormal buff acquired: Dichlorvos Poisoning]

Taking advantage of his still active state, Lin En quickly dashed into the alchemy room, rummaging through drawers, and gathered all the expired potions he hadn't fed to Little Baby.

Lin En squinted, popping open a potion bottle with a snap.

Immediately.

Wisps of smoke shaped like skulls rose from the bottle.

Even he didn't know what abnormalities these months-expired potions would cause.

But.

"Let's do it!!"

Gritting his teeth, Lin En tilted his head back, gulping down one bottle after another.

[Warning! Host acquired abnormal buff: Severe Itching]

[Warning! Host acquired abnormal buff: Severe Skin Rash]

[Warning! Host acquired abnormal buff: Viral Spread]

The System alerts kept ringing in his ears.

Lin En's idea was very simple.

Since the mutation was part of him, and if it had its own will, he could surely force it out by pushing himself to the brink of death.

And now, it was a test of whose willpower was stronger!

Without further ado, Lin En quickly grabbed a bunch of materials from the warehouse, opened his teacher's alchemy book, and with a (艹皿艹) expression, flipped through the pages while throwing various materials into the pot.

Gurgle, gurgle—

With the fire blazing, the alchemy pot soon bubbled with colorful foam.

Lin En bared his teeth, his eyes reflecting a slightly manic smile as he watched the bubbling potion, the multicolored light casting a terrifying glow on his face.
