Infinitely Criticizing the Villain for Being Like My Ex-Boyfriend

"I find this a bit strange." Zhang Chunliang followed behind Fox and took a breath. "The explosion didn't come from this direction."

At this moment, the two were walking in a dark and narrow passage. Zhang Chunliang strongly suspected that this was a blood vessel of the big whale.

"Be patient." The fox's voice was steady in the darkness. "We need to make some preparations before we find Will."

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the fox stopped in front of a door.

"What's in it?" Zhang Chunliang asked.

"You can think of it as a preparation room, or a kitchen." He placed his hands on the pattern of the alloy door, and the door made a dull sound and slowly opened to both sides.

"Kitchen?" Zhang Chunliang repeated in confusion.

His voice echoed in the empty space, startling the creatures in the room. For a moment, rustling sounds came from all directions.

Fox turned on the light, and the scene in the room suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Chunliang.

I saw that the walls of the room were covered with ugly and twisted monsters. They seemed to be afraid of light. When the lights were turned on, they shivered and huddled in the damp and dark corners.

"They are all old acquaintances. You have served them at the previous luncheon." The fox introduced.

Zhang Chunliang suppressed his discomfort and carefully observed these guys for a moment - the deformed monsters in this room were the powerful nobles who had been invited by Captain Will to attend the luncheon.

Captain Will tried to use his specially made mermaid meat to cultivate them into intelligent infected creatures, but for some unknown reason, the group of people failed to merge, their genes collapsed, and they eventually turned into monsters.

"I really think Will should change his research direction." Zhang Chunliang looked at the miserable and ugly monsters with mixed feelings. "Mermaids and humans don't seem to be compatible. Until now, I have never seen a successful case. Everyone who tried to combine with a mermaid has mutated."

"Do you think Will knows this clearly?" the fox suddenly asked.

Zhang Chunliang thought for a moment and answered uncertainly: "Maybe it's clear...?"

After all, Will had been studying the mermaid fusion experiment for so long that he should have discovered long ago that the experiment simply could not succeed.

"Since he knows that this experiment will never succeed, why does he keep doing it over and over again?" There was a hint of smile in the fox's words.

"Yeah, this is very strange." Zhang Chunliang frowned and muttered to himself, "The experiment can't succeed at all, but Will keeps doing it again and again... It's as if his purpose is not to cultivate his own mermaid army..."

"Mermaid army? This is the funniest joke I've ever heard." The fox nonchalantly kicked away a faceless monster that crawled to his feet. "Who does he think he is? The creator? He actually wants to create mermaids."

"Then why does he keep trying this experiment?" Zhang Chunliang paused, "Unless his purpose is not to create his own power——"

"Ah, then what does he want to do?" The fox turned his head and looked at him calmly. "The smart kid who answers first will get a reward."

Zhang Chunliang felt a chill, but he still thought about what he said: "I think the key to the failure of the experiment is not the human beings, but the 'mermaid eggs' and 'mermaid meat'."

According to his observations over the past few days, mermaid meat should be a very powerful "medicine" for humans.

The reason why the test subjects turned into monsters after eating mermaid meat and eggs is not because mermaid meat is highly poisonous.

On the contrary, it is likely that the energy contained in it is too powerful for the weak human body to withstand, so they collapsed -

If we think about Will's behavior according to this logic, it is easy to understand.

"He is alleviating the 'effects of the medicine'." Zhang Chunliang said, "He is using the human body to consume the powerful power of the mermaid flesh. Whether it is through experiments to let humans integrate the energy of mermaids, or letting humans who have turned into monsters kill each other... In essence, it is to make the power of mermaids in their bodies cancel each other out -"

Zhang Chunliang said confidently: "He used these people as a tool to alleviate the effect of the drug. Although their genes are broken, their strange yet strong bodies are a symbol of accepting the power of mermaids."

At this moment, this group of monsters possessed the gentleness of human genes and the powerful strength of mermaids, and were excellent energy bodies.

"No wonder you once told me that Captain Will needed a lot of contaminated food..." Zhang Chunliang instantly recalled what the fox had said to him at the dance.

"These contaminated people are the food Will prepared for himself and other monsters... I finally understand what you mean--" Zhang Chunliang's tone was somewhat excited.

This is a simple and brutal food chain. Will allowed pollution to spread on his ship and let the monsters kill and devour each other, in order to continuously reduce the mermaid power in them.

Finally, as the top of the food chain, he will make the winning monster into a delicious snack.

"Will is the one who needs mermaid flesh—he wants to use the mermaid powers of the monsters to turn himself into a mermaid!"

"It's a satisfactory answer, worthy of a reward." The fox curled his lips slightly, took out the chocolate bar from his pocket and threw it to Zhang Chunliang.

"Correction, Will is not trying to use the power of the monsters to turn into a mermaid, he wants to use this power to soothe his body."

"Soothe the body..." Zhang Chunliang's expression was subtle. "The wording sounds a bit strange."

"Not surprising at all." The fox said softly, "His body is not very obedient. It is the body of a mermaid that he stole by chance, and he is trying his best to tame it."

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge hole suddenly appeared in the middle of the floor of the room.

The two men were standing at the door and were not affected, but the monsters in the room were.

The monsters lying on the ground fell into the hole like dumplings, but there was no sound of them landing.

The monsters lying on the wall successfully escaped the disaster. They crowded together and tried their best to climb to the ceiling.

Not long after, a bunch of strange transparent tentacles stretched out from the hole. They groped around on the floor carefully, and finally climbed up slowly along the four walls. The flexible tentacles were like transparent waves, covering the entire damp and dilapidated wall.

Once the tentacles reach prey on the wall, they pull them roughly into the recesses.

Soon, all the monsters in the room were captured.

"What is that..." Zhang Chunliang looked at the hole, then at the sticky marks left by the tentacles on the wall, somewhat confused, "Is that Will? Shouldn't he have turned into a mermaid? How did he turn into... a jellyfish?"

The fox scraped off some slime from the wall, put it in his hand and gently brushed it away: "That's my father."

Zhang Chunliang turned his head and looked at him in surprise.

After spending some time together, Zhang Chunliang had already seen the connection between the fox and this world.

Since Fox is the legendary "ghost player", he must have left from a certain world by replacing the identity of a player, and he personally admitted that he had experienced this copy.

——Although they didn't say it explicitly, they already understood it tacitly.

But even though he had some guesses about his identity, Zhang Chunliang was still shocked by the fox's words: "How could your father... become like this?"

Could it be that his previous idea was wrong, and the fox was actually a jellyfish spirit?

The fox walked forward and looked at the bottomless hole indifferently.

"Almost. It's been too long," he muttered to himself, looking up at his watch, "I can't waste all my time and energy on garbage."

He fell forward without any warning, and his tall and slender figure disappeared at the entrance of the cave in an instant.

Zhang Chunliang pounced to the place where he was originally standing, but grabbed nothing.

A sour odor of rotting food slowly emerged from the cave. With the help of the dim light, he could vaguely see a pile of rotten meat hanging on the side wall of the cave.

Zhang Chunliang slowly closed his eyes, prepared himself mentally, then took out a "protective raincoat" from his backpack and jumped into the smelly cave.

……

Will's desire to eat became stronger and stronger, and he ate sixty-seven failed products today.

He knew that this was because it took a huge amount of energy to control this powerful mermaid body, and this energy must come from its own species.

However, he wanted to lose some weight because the internal organs in his huge body had already become stiff and could not metabolize the energy he absorbed.

As a result, this body became more and more bloated and it became difficult to move. Sometimes, he couldn't even scratch the fishtail in his lower body.

This is the price of being powerful.

Will smiled helplessly, his eyes seemed to look through the tightly closed alloy door of the laboratory, at the mermaid statue in the middle of the hall.

The statue's claws held up two spheres, which were the dried heads of his father and mother.

"Dear Mom and Dad, you should be happy for me. I have finally achieved what you wished and become the most powerful ruler of the ocean."

He smiled and shed two lines of deep purple tears, a weird color mixed with human blood and mermaid blood.

Suddenly, a bunch of tightly wrapped meat cocoons fell from his head. These were the prey caught by the transparent tentacles that grew on his fish tail. He happily put his beloved parents behind him and enjoyed today's lunch.

Every time a scale fell off his body, a sharp mouthpart would grow in the place where the scale belonged. To this day, his tail is full of mouthparts, and these hungry mouthparts quickly devoured the prey.

Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in the fish tail, as if his body was pierced by countless steel needles. He had experienced this feeling not long ago.

He mobilized all his transparent tentacles to check the painful area, but he couldn't find the cause of the pain.

The pain seemed to be growing out of his bones.

He began to become irritable and violent, and couldn't help wanting to destroy something -

So he swung his fish tail angrily and slammed it against the wall fiercely, making a loud noise.

The hard and smooth specially made wall suddenly shattered into pieces, revealing the soft whale's internal organs behind the wall.

"Why..." Will stared deeply into the scarlet flesh of the whale, his voice hoarse and strange, "I am so powerful, why am I still trapped here——"

He squirmed his huge body and tried to crawl out of the room, but a tiny figure blocked his way.

Zhang Chunliang looked up at the shocked body in front of him and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He had clearly slid out of the cave with the fox, but that guy disappeared without a trace.

"Excuse me?" Zhang Chunliang asked, "Have you ever seen a tall, thin man in a white coat? He's also very handsome?"

Will stared down at him, saying nothing.

The countless scaly scars on his fish tail were slowly moving, revealing densely packed sharp teeth. Zhang Chunliang seemed to see a huge beehive, except that each beehive was a giant mouth with malicious intentions.

"If you don't see it, forget it. I'll look somewhere else." Zhang Chunliang cautiously stepped back towards the door, "Sorry to bother you..."

His back hit a soft giant net. He turned his head and saw a tangled ball of transparent tentacles.

"Don't bother me..." Will showed a kind and gentle smile, "Stay and have dinner with us...kid."

Zhang Chunliang sighed deeply, turned around and ran away.

The room was filled with transparent killers that almost blocked all his escape routes. He took out all the props he had recently collected from the system and smashed them all out at once.

Will didn't seem to be able to fully control these transparent tentacles. They ignored their owner's thoughts and swarmed towards the things that were thrown out.

Zhang Chunliang bit open the chocolate bar that the fox gave him and stuffed it roughly into his mouth to save his life points that were about to run out.

He did not take advantage of this great opportunity to escape. The fox would not disappear for no reason. He was probably hiding in the dark and planning something. He had to find a way to create conditions for the fox.

Zhang Chunliang shook the glass jar in his hand, opened it, grabbed the contents and threw them into the air.

A bunch of round balls rolled in the air, emitting the unique sweet smell of mermaid eggs.

These were the mermaid eggs he had collected to open the door of the swimming pool, and only a few were left.

He used the replica prop "Magic Jar" to copy them into countless pieces - this replica prop can imitate all the smells and appearances of the original objects, but it has no energy at all, it is just a realistic projection.

The moment the mermaid eggs appeared, all the tentacles went crazy.

They chased after Zhang Chunliang like endless waves, desperately competing for the fish eggs he threw.

"No! Come back now, don't eat!" Will realized something was wrong and raised his voice to warn, "Shut up!"

His body was out of control, not just his tentacles - his grotesque and evil fish tail with thousands of mouths also began to move towards Zhang Chunliang, and countless mouths opened at the same time, expressing hungry desires.

“Hungry—hungry—”

In a trance, Zhang Chunliang felt like a breeder in a large breeding base.

"Don't squeeze in line, just stand there, we have everything." Zhang Chunliang kicked over a few tentacles that wanted to steal the magic jar, and generously distributed a handful of fish eggs.

Will was about to explode with anger. He screamed wildly and swore countless ugly and vicious curses at Zhang Chunliang. His entire attention was locked on Zhang Chunliang, so much so that he did not notice that a ghostly and thin figure appeared behind his head.

"Good afternoon, sir." A cold voice penetrated Will's brain.

He turned his head with difficulty and looked behind him - he recognized that person, he was the magician who was very good at performing tricks.

He was currently floating behind him, his eyelashes slightly closed.

"The magic I'm going to perform today is the head disappearing trick. Are you ready?"

Will opened his mouth, as if realizing something—

"Pop." The head that he had grown on the mermaid's body with great difficulty was pulled off easily.
