At last, even the crying couldn't be heard.

Only a sound that seemed like the piercing scream of the dying suddenly burst forth, endlessly soaring before dissolving into the clanking of metal.

The spiritual material burned out, and the flame went extinct.

It was not until now that Ji Jue finally let out a sigh of relief, sitting down on the ground, his sweat pouring down like rain.

If it wasn't for the Non-attack's absolute control over spiritual material, there were several times when he felt he had completely lost control and screwed up. Losing control could either blow up the furnace, or blow himself up, or send himself, along with the furnace and a good half of the villa, soaring into the sky.

This is Alchemy, where the thrill is the name of the game.

Now, even the Melting Furnace had completely died out.

After a simple inspection, Ji Jue found that the internal Spiritual Circuit was completely destroyed in the overload, leaving nothing but the shell, virtually no different from being scrapped.

The only result was what was now slowly trickling out of the container, an eerie, sanguine color.

One drop, and then another.

The mercury that was completely integrated with the Mutated Spirit Material took on the color of fresh blood. It rolled around on the operating table as if alive, with vaguely emerging faces of wailing or furiously insane on each drop.

Even the occasional touch between two drops emitted a series of shrill hissing sounds, like they were devouring each other, until they finally merged completely.

"Is this 'Slaughter'?"

Through the thick face mask, Ji Jue murmured involuntarily.

Like the Corrosive Furnace, it was a bizarre existence that stood among the Nine Evils, a colossal creature that manifested amidst countless massacres, violations, enslavements, extinctions, and deaths.

What lay before Ji Jue now was at best a minuscule remnant of a wisp of infiltration from the millions of projections of the Slaughter.

Yet it still caused his soul to tremble and left him unable to compose himself.

The pressure and fear felt when pouring them drop by drop into the bullets and sealing them were far more intense than the synthesis and extraction of Flame Element Explosives.

The latter would only blow him up, but the former could make his life worse than death.

Similarly, it would also make the suffering of his enemies unbearably excruciating!

"Heh heh, heh heh heh heh, heh heh heh heh..."

When Xiao An came knocking on the door to call Ji Jue for dinner, all he saw was the weird laughing figure under the flickering dim light, and on the table before him, those bizarre bullets.

They looked quite ordinary at first glance, simply having undergone basic alchemy operations, but the moment you approached to touch them... an involuntary chill ran through you!

"What is this?" he leaned in, eyeing them with curiosity.

"A gift."

Ji Jue smiled, full of pleasure: "Some gifts prepared for the visitors."

Like any host who had made thorough preparations, the very moment he tied the packaging, he couldn't help but anticipate the surprised expressions when the wrapping was undone.

I do hope they like them.

.

Drip—drip—

In the hospital room filled with the scent of disinfectant, a deadly silence prevailed, with only the monotonous noise from the machines echoing.

And within the tedious echo, for a split second, the rhythm of the noise seemed to undergo an imperceptible change.

On the hospital bed, Chen Xingzhou's finger suddenly twitched.

Then, another...

Over a long period of time, it clenched slowly yet persistently.

As if with all his might, he was grasping that invisible thread.

Endlessly climbing upwards.

From Hell...

Ding—

At the end of the hallway, the elevator doors slowly opened.

A nurse pushing a cart emerged and made her way towards the ward.

The wheels of the cart squeaked as they turned, leaving behind a trail of intermittent sanguine tracks on the floor...

Outside the window, neon lights flickered, and the night was deep.
