The children were undergoing their final transformation, shifting from incomplete beings into their complete forms. He noticed that some of the children had strange bulges on their backs, resembling underdeveloped wings. 0
 
Suddenly, the intercom in the classroom crackled to life, and a voice altered by modulation echoed, "Welcome to the 'Feast,' dear Evolvers. Please proceed to the designated location to complete your final transformation." There was a brief pause before the voice continued, "Remember, only the strongest will qualify for 'Eternal Life.'" 0
 
Xu Rong's pupils dilated sharply. He saw the ground in the center of the playground begin to sink, revealing a massive circular opening. The children eagerly jumped into the pit, their excited screams filling the air. A peculiar aroma wafted through the atmosphere, a mix of roasted meat's fragrance intertwined with some chemical scent. 0
 
At that moment, Xu Rong's phone vibrated unexpectedly. It was an encrypted message from Lao Chen: "The laboratory database has been successfully hacked; we found files on the 'Eternal Life Project.' This is not just simple genetic modification; they are creating 'containers' to host the consciousness of an ancient entity..." 0
 
The message abruptly cut off. Xu Rong felt a chill run down his neck and spun around to see the Braided Girl crouched outside the window. Blood and flesh from Professor Lin still clung to her lips, yet her eyes were strikingly clear. 0
 
"Uncle," she said sweetly, "you smell... very special." Her tongue flickered like a serpent's forked tongue in the air. "Your genes... are pure, perfect for becoming 'His' container..." 0
 
It dawned on Xu Rong why those who craved flesh always looked at him with such hungry eyes. His genes, his memories, his consciousness... were all the most precious "ingredients" in this insane plan. 0
 
Suddenly, the entire building began to tremble. Xu Rong watched as thick black mist erupted from the opening in the playground, coalescing into countless tentacle-like shapes in the air. The Braided Girl let out an ecstatic scream as her body began to twist and contort; the tumor on her back burst open, revealing translucent membranous wings. 0
 
 
"He is waking up!" 0
The little girl's voice became sharp and piercing. "The Feast has begun!" 0
"Uncle," 0
the Braided Girl tilted her head, her mouth stretching into a grin that reached her ears. "Do you know? You are the most delicious 'ingredient' I've ever seen." 0
Her voice still carried the innocence of childhood, yet it sent chills down Xu Rong's spine. 0
Xu Rong tightened his grip on the gun, aiming it at her forehead. "What do you want?" 0
The little girl giggled, her laughter echoing in the empty classroom. "We're preparing for a Feast. Professor Lin didn't tell you?" 0
Her tongue flicked over her sharp teeth. "'He' has been asleep for too long and needs a perfect vessel to carry his consciousness." 0
The walls of the classroom began to ooze black slime, and the air was thick with the stench of rotting seaweed. 0
Xu Rong felt his temples throbbing, a low buzzing sound ringing in his ears. 0
"Why me?" 0
He forced himself to ask despite the discomfort. 0
"Because your genes are special," 0
the little girl bounced closer. "Professor Lin said you are a 'Pureblood,' untouched by the toxins of modern society." 0
Her eyes sparkled with mischief. "Just like... like a prime cut of Wagyu beef." 0
Xu Rong pulled the trigger, the bullet piercing through the girl's shoulder and splattering a stream of fluorescent green liquid. 0
She let out a shriek, her body twisting into an impossible angle. "You hurt me, Uncle!" 0
Her voice suddenly turned deep and hoarse. "But that's okay; 'He' will make you pay soon." 0
