I Contracted Myself-Chapter 98 – Genius Evil Child

"Could this be... the Clown Coin?"

Zhu Yuanlong's hand had lost most of its sensation, but by feeling the coin's surface, he could imagine a sinister smiling face.

He remembered that when Zhu Jiuyang gave him the coin, its surface had a very ordinary pattern, completely different from the smiling face now.

"Zhu Jiuyang, if I survive... ahhhhh!"

Zhu Yuanlong tried to pry the coin out, but it was tightly embedded in his flesh, impossible to remove.

In an instant, the smiling face on the coin emitted an evil aura, and the sound of a clown's eerie laughter seemed to echo from the flames.

...

Somewhere in the Zhu Family's base.

A slender boy, just over a meter tall, was sitting on a sofa eating grapes, engrossed in a comic book.

In the comic, there was a scene of Zhu Yuanlong roaring in anger, and another of Zhu Hongfang looking ambitiously at the Firebird.

"Jiuyang, did you complete the task your uncle asked you to do?" Zhu Zeming entered from outside, asking with a flattering tone.

Zhu Jiuyang closed the comic book, popped a grape into his mouth, and casually said, "Almost. The one you want dead... Zhang Pingping, will soon die."

"It's Zhang Ping, make sure you don't target the wrong person," Zhu Zeming corrected.

Zhu Jiuyang replied impatiently, "Got it, uncle. You promised me that after taking care of Zhang Pingping, you'd give me an Ocean Man specimen. Don't go back on your word."

"Of course, I've already got the Ocean Man. It'll be made into a specimen and sent to you soon, but first..." Zhu Zeming said with a smile.

Zhu Jiuyang opened the comic book again, confidently saying, "By tonight at midnight, Zhang Pingping will surely die!"

"Isn't that Zhu Yuanlong?" Zhu Zeming glanced at the comic's depiction of the roaring figure, surprised.

Zhu Jiuyang nodded, "Yes, Brother Yuanlong was tricked by Sister Hongfang and is now likely to become nourishment for the Sunbird. So, I decided to help Brother Yuanlong. If he can take care of Zhang Pingping by ten tonight, I'll save him. If not... then he's useless and might as well die."

"Why ten o'clock?" Zhu Zeming asked curiously.

Zhu Jiuyang replied matter-of-factly, "Because mom said that going to bed early helps you grow taller. After ten, I need to sleep."

"..."

Zhu Zeming was speechless, unable to argue with that reasoning.

He forced a smile and said, "Alright, let's hope Zhu Yuanlong can kill Zhang Ping before ten. I'll go check on the Ocean Man's progress."

With that, he quickly turned and left.

Once outside, he breathed a slight sigh of relief, but the thought of returning to the City Lord's mansion made his heart tighten.

That night, he had witnessed the Moon Prince being possessed by the Fallen, and after that, the Moon Prince seemed mentally unstable.

If he could, he really didn't want to return to the City Lord's mansion or see the Moon Prince.

"As long as Zhang Ping is killed, I can justifiably apply to the elders to transfer away from the City Lord's mansion, letting someone else take over my duties," he thought, clenching his fist.

He had messed up several tasks in a row, especially losing track of Chen Junting, which made the elders very dissatisfied with him. He needed to show results to have the confidence to apply for a transfer; otherwise, the elders would surely reject him outright.

Originally, he hoped to redeem himself by finding Chen Junting, but his competitor Zhu Zecheng had taken that task.

Fortunately, Zhu Zecheng's agent, Zhu Yuanlong, was now being used by Zhu Jiuyang as a pawn to hunt Zhang Ping.

"Please, let nothing go wrong, please," Zhu Zeming prayed silently as he slowly walked to the other end of the corridor.

...

...

The sky was overcast, and a light drizzle began to fall.

Zhu Yuanlong roared in agony, the clown's smile on the coin on his chest growing more radiant and sinister.

He knew he was nearing his limit.

Boom!

A bolt of lightning struck the coin, causing it to emit a brilliant light. Threads of silver light quickly spread across Zhu Yuanlong's body and then extended to the Sunbird's skeleton.

The skeleton began to grow flesh, with dense blood threads weaving a neural network between the bones, and muscles rapidly forming along the bones.

"Zhu Hongfang, Zhu Jiuyang!!!"

Zhu Yuanlong let out one final roar of unwillingness before his body was enveloped by the Sunbird's flesh, merging completely with it. The place where he was enveloped showed a faintly protruding clown face, like a human face growing on the Sunbird's chest.

Boom!

The Sunbird landed on the ground, its flames transforming into sleek feathers. It let out a long cry towards the sky, then slowly turned its gaze towards the forest in the rain.

"My child, you've finally been reborn!"

Zhu Hongfang walked forward in the rain with a group of elites, her face showing a fanatical smile as she admired the Sunbird's majestic form.

At this moment, her expression was somewhat crazed, her eyes truly looking at it as if it were her child, because that drop of blood had cost her three children.

A reborn Firebird, rounded up, was basically her child, wasn't it?

"Child, I am your mother!"

Zhu Hongfang gazed lovingly at the Sunbird, calling out tenderly.
