Chapter 36: The Snake Jealous of Himself: The Chopstick Snake Has No Brain, So Basically…

“Xuan Bai, Xuan Bai.”

In the room, the snake coiled high up spoke that last, blurry name, then suddenly closed its eyes and plummeted down.

It crashed onto the floor with a thud, its black tail hooking the bedside table, sweeping the lamp to the ground.

“Xuan Bai!” Ji Mo An was startled. He looked at the chaotic mess on the table and actually saw a smear of bright red on the side of the broken wood.

On the cruise ship, the table lamps were nailed securely onto the large furniture…

Ji Mo An had no time to think about how the snake’s tail could break a hardwood table lamp just from the force of falling, because his eyes were fixed on that glaring red.

Xuan Bai lay on the ground with his eyes closed, motionless. Even his chest stopped rising and falling.

“Xuan Bai, wake up.” Ji Mo An struggled to lift Xuan Bai. He covered his eyes with one hand, stopping himself from looking at Xuan Bai’s tattoo again.

Cold. The half-snake’s body was even radiating coldness, as if… a lifeless shell.

No way… he wouldn’t die from falling from the height of the closet, even if it was him. Ji Mo An pressed down on his trembling fingertips and leaned down, pressing his ear to Xuan Bai’s chest.

Silence. There wasn’t a single sound of a heartbeat.

Could it be the anesthetic… Ji Mo An felt like he was panicking for the first time.

But he didn’t dare call a doctor, didn’t even dare ask anyone for help.

The last time he learned first aid was during corporate emergency training…

Ji Mo An pried at Xuan Bai’s mouth, but couldn’t open it, but he felt two sharp fangs.

“…” He felt that Xuan Bai didn’t need CPR.

Give it a try.

Ji Mo An clasped his hands together and pressed them on Xuan Bai’s chest. He took a deep breath and pressed down hard with all his strength.

His hand met empty air.

The several-meter-long half-snake had disappeared into thin air. Ji Mo An couldn’t stop himself and crashed onto the bed.

“Hiss~” A loud hissing sound came from under him. Ji Mo An quickly adjusted his glasses, searching for the source of the sound.

The chopstick snake reappeared.

The tiny black snake was hanging in the folds of his clothes, opening its mouth and hissing non-stop.

It seemed to have been squashed. Ji Mo An quickly scooped up the little snake.

“Xuan Bai?” he asked softly.

“Hiss~” The little snake cried loudly, pitifully squeezing its head into the gaps between Ji Mo An’s fingers.

Wet… the snake’s tail crawled over his fingers, leaving a streak of blood.

The snake was injured.

Ji Mo An picked up the little snake’s tail. Several small black scales fell onto the clean white sheets as he did so.

The little snake paused, then straightened its neck and looked along Ji Mo An’s line of sight at its own bloody tail tip.

The snake wiggled its tail, then immediately turned its head to look at Ji Mo An.

Ji Mo An was also looking at the snake. A flash of heartache in his eyes was accurately caught by the snake.

It hurts!

The snake’s golden round eyes immediately became watery, its half-red little tongue sticking out.

It hurts! The snake hurts!

The snake hissed even louder, pitifully nudging Ji Mo An’s fingers with its head.

Its tail was injured, the snake was so pitiful!

“Don’t move.” Ji Mo An couldn’t bear to see the snake he had carefully raised suffer such a serious injury, even losing eight scales!

He half-knelt on the ground and rummaged in the drawer for the first-aid kit. The snake wrapped around his hand raised its head again to look at its tail.

“It hurts! It hurts!” the snake cried even louder.

–

“Disconnected.” Thousands of miles away, Xuan Bai pulled the blanket over his head, trying hard to contact his clone.

Heaven knows he just switched accounts to see what was happening on the main body’s side, and now he couldn’t switch back.

Recalling the form before switching accounts, Xuan Bai felt a darkness descend before his eyes.

A senseless body was no different from a corpse, not as good as a cute and brainless chopstick snake.

“Your base is moving.” Xuan Bai emerged from the blanket, squinting as he felt the wind blowing in from the window.

“Mhm, mhm.” Fourteen, who had been lingering by the bed, nodded. “We have a non-fixed base with an autonomous route, traveling at a speed of twenty kilometers per hour.”

No wonder he could still connect… Xuan Bai swept his gaze across Fourteen’s face. The blank-faced young man was looking at him expectantly.

“I’m leaving.”

“Hey, no!” Fourteen was stunned. Before he could stand up, he saw the man in front of him yank out the IV tube, throw it in his face, and jump straight out the window.

The movements were clean and swift, showing he was an expert at escaping through windows.

“Ah…” Fourteen stared blankly at the empty bed in front of him until the cold liquid from the IV tube dripped on his face, then he jumped up and pressed the communicator.

“He’s gone! Boss! He jumped out the window!”

“It doesn’t matter, we’ve arranged manpower.” A calm female voice immediately came through the communicator.

In the center of the base, Su Nai, codenamed Zero One, sat in an esports chair, propping her head up with one hand.

She looked at the dense array of surveillance screens in front of her, a slight sneer curving her lips.

“Monitor tracking, Thirteen and Fifteen, catch him.”

…

Xuan Bai was best at scaling walls. He slid straight down the wall to the ground. His white and loose-fitting patient clothes didn’t affect his speed at all.

After running two kilometers forward, fine sand gradually appeared under his feet.

It was the smell of the sea breeze.

He looked ahead and could already see the glistening waves on the horizon.

Almost there…

“Sorry.”

The sand in front of him suddenly churned, followed by a gust of wind that blew sand everywhere.

“Sorry.” Thirteen, who had wings, swooped down from the sky, raising his hand and striking Xuan Bai’s nape.

“Subdued. Estimated to return to the Central Research Institute in ten minutes.”

The churning sand gradually rose, slowly engulfing the man’s body.

After the sand completely enveloped Xuan Bai, it returned to calm. Thirteen spread his wings and disappeared into the air again.

But Thirteen and Fifteen didn’t notice, and neither did the base on the island.

A small black snake hung high in a tree, tilting its head and quietly watching everything that happened on the ground.

A clone transformed from a scale was not worth mentioning.

“Can you open a teleport?” The snake raised its head, a wisp of blue flame flying out of its eyes.

The three words [Will Shatter] gradually emerged from the flame.

“I can’t really swim back, it’s more than a thousand kilometers.” The snake was a little troubled. It could swim, but it was too tiring and too time-consuming.

The [Will Shatter] font trembled slightly, but did not disappear.

“Switch to manual, I can sew myself together.” Xuan Bai ground his teeth, the tip of his tail lightly tapping the tree trunk.

[?] This time, the flame gave him a question mark.

The snake immediately perked up.

[If you can correctly sew your fragments in the correct place, of course I can open a teleport for you.]

“I can.” Xuan Bai nodded.

[You can’t.] The person on the other side said definitively.

“Switch to boss.” Xuan Bai ignored the three words on the other side.

[……]

[I am the boss, only the boss dares to confront you!!!]

Halfway through the exclamation mark on the other side, the blue flame suddenly twisted, and a smear of gold overflowed from the center of the flame.

The three words [Three Seconds] appeared in the flame that had completely turned pure gold.

“Thank you.” Xuan Bai transformed into human form in an instant. At the same time, the air vibrated, space shifted, and a golden light flashed away.

The snake jumped out of the tree, but landed on the cruise ship.

Pfft…

At the moment of appearance, countless fine blood lines appeared on the snake’s chest, and exposed wounds covered his entire body, as if he had been slashed.

[Congratulations, you didn’t shatter]

“That’s nothing to celebrate.” Xuan Bai raised his eyebrows. Blood was gushing out of every wound on his body. In just a few seconds, a pool of blood had accumulated under his feet.

The golden flame jumped up and down, releasing a few strands of gold silk that landed on Xuan Bai’s body.

“Thanks.”

The gold silk melted the moment it touched the wound, quickly healing the wounds all over his body.

Although for the boss, these wounds were just superficial, but they were probably not very beautiful.

When the skin was healed again, it turned back into a blue flame, jumping and flying back into Xuan Bai’s eyes. The snake happily climbed back to Ji Mo An’s room along the pipes.

At this time, the night was deep.

The chopstick snake was nestled in Ji Mo An’s palm, sleeping with him.

But obviously, Ji Mo An was not sleeping well, and even forgot to take off his glasses.

“Huh…” The main snake silently swam to the head of the bed and ruthlessly pinched the tail tip of the chopstick snake, which was wrapped like a dumpling.

Just acting pitiful.

The chopstick snake angrily raised its head and hissed loudly at the main body.

Screw you. Xuan Bai mercilessly pinched the chopstick snake’s tail and threw his clone out.

Wasn’t it just acting cute?

He was super good at it.

Xuan Bai took off Ji Mo An’s glasses, shook the messy quilt open again and covered him, and finally made himself small, and contentedly nestled in Ji Mo An’s palm.

Snuggling~

The chopstick snake has no brain, and is completely not as considerate as him.
