Lin Ye and the pale red seawater began to fall upward. He had thought suicide would be extremely difficult, but he effortlessly used his spiritual energy to blow his own heart apart.

……………………………

[Remaining Simulation Attempts: 6]

Lin Ye sat by the bed, somewhat puzzled. He had thought the deaths of those D-Class personnel would cause trouble, but when he committed suicide, he encountered no obstruction at all... as if the matter was already over.

'Forget it, I'll set this aside for now. I should first consider how to complete the ritual.'

Having already gathered sufficient information, Lin Ye quickly formulated his action plan for this attempt.

The overseers opened the cell door. Lin Ye repeated his previous operations, smoothly progressing to the fourth ritual.

This time, after fishing up Red Sea creatures, he didn't rush to feed them to the large mouth. Instead, he began using their flesh and blood to mutate his own body.

He also transplanted those more special mutation organs onto himself.

Although dollification affected the progress of this operation, with the help of the Flesh and Blood Rule Fragment and the Doll, he partially restored parts of his body to a flesh-and-blood structure and connected his dollified body to the flesh.

By mutating himself, Lin Ye forcibly elevated his body to the low-tier level.

After becoming a low-tier spiritual energy user, Lin Ye accelerated his fishing speed and mutated various components onto his body. Only by doing this could he gather enough flesh and blood materials within the limited time.

He didn't waste the leftover scraps either. He used the excess materials to create parasitic Red Frogs, letting them freely hunt in the sea.

One or two Red Frogs certainly couldn't defeat those Red Sea creatures, but as long as a large number of Red Frogs engaged in collective hunting, they could sweep through this Shallow Sea Area.

Lin Ye continuously mutated his body until the seawater approached the Lounge and the large mouth expanded to the point of almost connecting with the sea, only then did he stop.

Afterwards, Lin Ye took out the black hazmat suit containing the concentrated contaminated pool water and poured one-quarter of it into the Red Sea.

A large number of Red Sea creatures gathered towards the island. This time, the island didn't sink, and that giant Red Sea creature didn't appear either.

Lin Ye jumped into the Red Sea and, leading the Red Frogs, began hunting the Red Sea creatures attracted over. These creatures were more agile in the sea, but that was all.

Lin Ye, loaded with various mutation organs, wandered among the Red Sea creatures. Every time he struck, he would eliminate several of them.

The Red Frogs followed behind Lin Ye, continuously parasitizing and decomposing the corpses he left behind. Large numbers of Red Frogs began spreading outwards, grouping up to hunt nearby Red Sea creatures.

Some Red Frogs transported the corpses back to the island, where the three D-Class personnel were responsible for throwing them into the mouth.

If not for these corpses, they would have almost been eaten by the large mouth.

As a large number of low-tier Red Sea creatures died, some mid-tier Red Sea creatures were attracted to this area. Lin Ye sped up his hunting. Mid-tier creatures capable of surviving in the Red Sea were no pushovers. One or two were manageable, but he certainly didn't want to be surrounded by those mid-tier Red Sea creatures.

The surrounding Red Frogs accelerated their hunting speed. Before long, the mouth above was fed to satiety.

Lin Ye swam back to the island. After leaving the Red Sea, he felt like a deep-sea fish that had left the water. Every breath chipped away at his life, which was already almost at zero.

Only after the Doll completely dollified his body did he barely recover a bit of stamina.

But even so, he couldn't survive for long outside the Red Sea. Unless he returned to the Red Sea, his life had already entered a countdown phase.

Just as Lin Ye prepared to crawl back to the Lounge, three silhouettes blocked his path.

"You look like you're in great pain."

A smile hung on Damon's face, one that was both fearful and excited.

"We can take you back, but this requires you to pay a little something we need. You don't want to perish together with trash like us here, do you?"

Mu Kai carefully observed Lin Ye's expression, ready at any moment to retreat back into the Lounge.

"A big shot like you must have a way to escape the organization. Tell me how to escape the organization."

Although Kalin was speaking to Lin Ye, her eyes were looking at a certain spot behind him, as if there was something there that only she could see.

At Lin Ye's weakest moment, these D-Class personnel had precisely seized this opportunity.

They couldn't actually be sure of Lin Ye's condition, but for people like them, gambling was a common occurrence. Gambling with their lives was no big deal. Once humans get used to taking dangerous shortcuts, they lose the ability to walk the proper path.

"...I originally wanted to let you return to the organization, to continue serving it. Thinking about it now, that doesn't seem like a good idea. Truly evil people like you should indeed receive more direct punishment. Letting you live even one second longer is disrespectful to the victims."

Lin Ye was still lying on the ground. He didn't particularly like looking up to speak to others, so those three people also ended up on the ground.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!"

The three of them screamed simultaneously, because Lin Ye had chopped off their calves.

"Don't rush to scream. This is just to teach you the most basic respect. I haven't officially started yet."

When Lin Ye was lying down, others shouldn't look down on him. They should quickly lie on the ground themselves; that's what conforms to basic etiquette.

"Don't be impulsive! If you kill us, the ritual's difficulty will increase!"

Damon said anxiously.

"You're right. That's exactly why I've been protecting you until now. Haven't you realized? You're useless now."

If it were before completing the ritual, Lin Ye would have needed to think twice before acting.

The surrounding area echoed with the rising and falling croaks of Red Frogs. A large number of Red Frogs jumped onto the island. They propped up Lin Ye and moved him towards the Lounge.

"Take me back with you! Otherwise, I'll kill myself right now!"

Mu Kai suddenly roared loudly. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

He pressed a sharp piece of bone against his neck. The tip of the bone had already pierced through the epidermis of his neck.

"You'd better hurry, because I'm about to go back."

Lin Ye said with utter indifference.

Mu Kai forcefully thrust the bone into his neck. The bone pierced through his carotid artery, and a massive spray of cotton stuffing gushed out.

"You... why..."

Mu Kai looked at Lin Ye with incomprehension. He had thought Lin Ye would stop him from committing suicide.

"You're too close to me. At this distance, your lives haven't been in your hands for a while now. I can decide your time of death, no matter what you try to do.

Rest assured, you absolutely won't die before I return to the Lounge. If you can use this time to properly repent for your crimes... perhaps you can die a little happier?"

Lin Ye was carried back to the Lounge by the Red Frogs. The three still wanted to resist, but the surrounding Red Frogs easily restrained them.

"Well then, goodbye. I hope you can survive here for a while longer. It would be nice if you could survive for more than a minute."

Lin Ye dismissed the Red Frogs and closed the Lounge door.
