I Don't Agree to the Terms

The bizarre finally couldn't withstand the surgery and died peacefully... Not really! He was in extreme pain, and in his final moments, he even thought Gu Shanhai was torturing him on purpose. Just before dying, he gritted his teeth and said that he'd invite Gu Shanhai for a meal after his comeback.

He said he knew a psychiatrist who was very good at cooking, named Hannibal Lecter.

After hearing this, Gu Shanhai was stunned. What kind of grudge was this to introduce him to Hannibal? But really, if the two were to meet, the frightened one would be the bizarre, not Gu Shanhai.

After all, their compatibility wasn't bad; Gu Shanhai also liked to eat the Spirit Plant that grew on his own body.

"But finally, the person has been sent off. Now, only this thing remains." Gu Shanhai looked at the pair of eyeballs in his hand, the slender nerve sheath dangling down, still wriggling as if wanting to root in Gu Shanhai's hand.

Unfortunately, these things were just enough to deal with the bizarre creature, but against Gu Shanhai, they seemed weakened and then just wrapped around his hand like a snake.

"I think I've found a way to lead away the disaster." Gu Shanhai narrowed his eyes.

Then he took out something from his portable lab, it was the "Tai Shang's Eight Diagrams Scripture" he had obtained from the adventure world's Great Ruins.

This thing was also something of existence, as were the pair of eyeballs in his hand.

What would happen if these two were fused together?

Would they fight or die together? Just thinking about it was interesting.

As for researching these two eyeballs, Gu Shanhai had also done so; they were simply parasites and not of much value.

Similarly, they were like a gaze from the Eye of Quiet Death and not some entity. The real value was in the Eye of Quiet Death itself. Unfortunately, Gu Shanhai currently did not have the ability to research it.

Unless he became a complete entity of the world and not just the current nascent form of the world.

But that was indeed very difficult.

"Do you reject it this much? I don't know if this is instinct from both sides or remnants of self." Gu Shanhai forced the pair of eyeballs onto the "Tai Shang's Eight Diagrams Scripture." There was strong repulsion between them; the scene looked like intense aversion.

"Now that you're in my hands, don't think about resisting. Just get stuffed in there."

Gu Shanhai's tone was very harsh, and then through his own power, he forcibly rooted the pair of eyeballs in the "Tai Shang's Eight Diagrams Scripture."

The result was very obvious.

The eyeballs immediately withered, looking as if they were about to die from the outside.

The "Tai Shang's Eight Diagrams Scripture" was even worse; it used to glow, but now it was dim without light, and even the content began to get disordered, looking like it was not going to last much longer.

"So, is this thing going to die?" Gu Shanhai's expression was tinged with horror.

If the gaze of the Eye of Quiet Death can match closely with the Great Ruins' fuel, then one might as well equate the Eye of Quiet Death with the Great Ruins.

"Fuck! What's coming next..."

The horror was that Xiao Yongsheng wanted to summon the Eye of Quiet Death.

If the Eye of Quiet Death finished consuming the concept of death and left, Gu Shanhai wouldn't be afraid, but what if it didn't leave?

Settling directly in this world as a place to digest, wouldn't Gu Shanhai just have to settle for breaking even, unable to make a fortune?

At this moment, Gu Shanhai also came to his senses, realizing he had never considered this before.

Now thinking about it, his expression darkened.

"I definitely can't stop it, but if I don't stop it, there's still a chance to earn. If I do stop it, then there's really only breaking even left."

Gu Shanhai wanted things to develop according to his plan, but unfortunately, the world doesn't always go smoothly.

"But human efforts can make a difference; there's still a chance."

Fortunately, the sacrificial ritual hadn't really started yet. Gu Shanhai thought he could make some tweaks during the ritual.

Then... he pushed that clever idea to the back of his mind.

It was utterly unreliable. From the moment the gaze of the Eye of Quiet Death descended, it had already set its sights on this world.

So, there was no such possibility. Besides, with his stature trying to scheme against it, it was likely he'd be flipped over like a soup dumpling.

So better not think about that.

"Let's prepare for the worst-case scenario then."

The worst-case preparation naturally involved taking the flesh cocoon and, oh, Xiao Yongsheng, away. If he really succeeded, he'd definitely be extraordinary and worth researching.

Although doing this might catch the attention of the Eye of Quiet Death, the probability was extremely low; a mere dinner bell and they were already eating. Who cares about this stuff?

After dealing with some matters, Gu Shanhai then prepared to find a better place to watch the sacrificial ritual, using this as the best time point to take action.

As for the gaze of the Eye of Quiet Death and the "Tai Shang's Eight Diagrams Scripture," Gu Shanhai also held onto it for the time being. If things were untenable, he'd throw it away and escape.

Whatever it was, it was a menace anyway, useless to keep around.

This world didn't have anything Gu Shanhai cared about, so he wouldn't mind treating it like a trash can.

Otherwise, he would have already found a place to discard the "Tai Shang's Eight Diagrams Scripture".

The reason he hadn't done it now was the off-chance that the Eye of Quiet Death would finish up and leave without lingering; what if he threw it away and it disappeared? He had to consider this scenario too to avoid falling into trouble over such an oversight.
