Universe Infinite Canteen

"They could inherit the strength, agility, speed, and other attributes of the corpse before death. Powerful Binding Spirits could even reside in more than one body.

"When they ran into danger, they could instantly transfer from one corpse to another. She probably abandoned that body on purpose just now to save time, using that method to leave this plane directly."

"So that works? Then isn't she invincible, uncontrollable by anyone? No wonder she was so arrogant before, saying not even the Wandering Sorcerer and the City Manager could hold her back," Ma Lu exclaimed.

"Not invincible exactly. There are countless races in the Multiverse, and these races complement and counter one another. Although the Binding Spirit Clan is powerful, there are those capable of dealing with them."

Lao Hei said, "But speaking of which, this clan really is quite suitable for being assassins. There were already very famous assassins who had been exposed as members of the Binding Spirit Clan before her."

"Chameleons, with tracks all over the Multiverse, extraordinarily hard to kill, indeed, it's almost a waste of such rare talents not to be an assassin," Ma Lu said, stroking his chin.

"Even such top assassins bear such great psychological pressure. I wonder what sacred being 99 is and what special methods she possesses."

"I don't know, but I hope she just dies at the hands of 99 and never comes back."

Lao Hei obviously didn't like 33, but that wasn't her fault. Anyone would find it difficult to like someone who had held them at gunpoint and threatened to torture them with cruel methods.

However, looking at the outcome, Lao Hei hadn't actually lost out this time. Although it had lost one body, it had also gained a new one.

And the new body was much stronger than the old one. This blond, blue-eyed foreign woman was not an Earthling; she had come to Earth with the New Moon Ship.

Since 33 had chosen her, she naturally had something exceptional.

After entering her body, Lao Hei found out she was actually a Vampire.

Vampires, like Werewolves, are both ancient and powerful races within the Multiverse, each with a very long lifespan.

Werewolves are most famous for their terrifying strength and superior physical fitness.

And Vampires take pride in their Blood Witchcraft and some abilities associated with the night.

Just like most artistic works describe, the relationship between these two species, Werewolves and Vampires, has never been good, and they have waged wars on many planes.

"It seems I'll need to stay away from Yan Wu from now on," Lao Hei mused, feeling out its new body.

After pausing, it asked, "What exactly did you give 33? It made her leave in such a hurry; she even abandoned such an extraordinary body."

"I said I wouldn't do anything to undermine my own reputation, nor did I drug her. It was a regular dish, but I used a special ingredient called 'Jealous Lemon.'

"Jealous Lemon' has the ability to awaken deep-seated jealousy in a person and amplify that feeling, serving as the source of its sourness," Ma Lu explained.

"So all that long, detailed speech you gave earlier was just to deceive 33? You can't really cure her psychological issues. Aren't you afraid that she'll come back for revenge after finding out she's been duped?"

"Probably not," said Ma Lu. "If she really manages to kill 99, logic suggests she'd feel quite relieved for a while, and would only think my treatment method was effective."

"And if she fails?"

"If she fails, that's fine too. At least she won't come looking for me to cause any trouble."

"..." Lao Hei pondered it and realised that was actually true.

"But speak of the devil, why weren't you affected?" This time it was Ma Lu who asked. "Didn't you also eat half a slice of lemon mousse cake?"

"That wasn't me eating, it was the corpse that ate."

"Huh?"

"We, Corpse Parasites, are different from the Binding Spirit Clan. Although both need to inhabit corpses, we have our own bodies. We connect to different brain areas of the corpse through specialized limbs.

"Then we interact with the outside world through the corpse's organs. Simply put, you can consider us the pilots of a mecha.

"We observe with the corpse's eyes, taste with the corpse's taste buds, and react to pain through the corpse, but we don't need the emotional area since our brains already have emotions and don't require that function from the corpse."

"I see, since your taste and emotions are separate, the 'Jealous Lemon' didn't affect you normally."

Lao Hei nodded.

"It appears 33 was not aware of this."

"There are simply too many life forms in the Multiverse. Most people, including myself, have only superficial knowledge about other species and rely on stereotypes, rarely digging into such details."

"That's true."

"I owe you one this time, Boss Ma," said Lao Hei, wiping sweat from its forehead and looking at Ma Lu fondly. "This is now the third time you've rescued me. Is there anything I can do for you, Boss Ma?"

"Yes, I need an energy core and two sets of pulse engines to repair my Plane Spaceship."

Lao Hei felt more sweat form on its forehead, "Can we perhaps choose a different favor? That's a bit beyond me, but I can ask around for you, Boss Ma. There have been quite a few newcomers on Earth recently.

"Not just the energy core and pulse engines, they might have other good stuff."

"Are you referring to those who came on the New Moon Ship? Are they many?"

"Yeah, this time around five hundred people have been said to arrive, although most of them are French Fry People. They're not as big as the Valkyrie People; I think they only bought two ship tickets in total."

"Eh? So excluding those French Fry People, that means there are still over two hundred people? Were there this many before?"

"Not so many, after all, people are used to living in The Grand Alliance and wouldn't come to such a remote place unless absolutely necessary. The Pink Whale Ship used to bring over a dozen passengers at most."

"Then why so many this time?"

"Because there are rumors that a war might be brewing."

"A war? Who with whom?"

"The Ares people and the Council, it seems. It's said they have a particularly formidable emperor now. The Ares people have always been troublesome.

"They were very active in both the first and second Multiversal Wars, once as rebels and another as a peacekeeping force, with ups and downs."

"They are extremely powerful, numerous across the Multiverse, and very united. This time, they are discontent with Council Resolution No. 102311, and they have seized the Councilman and annihilated the rescue team dispatched by The Grand Alliance.

"Many people feel the third Great War is imminent, so some cowards have hidden on remote places like Earth."
