Quick Transmigration: Homewrecker System! [BL]

Chapter 63 - 3.20

Yunyu was busy knocking on Ling Kai's door, afraid that Bi He might have been influencing Ling Kai in some way. He wanted to tell the truth before it was too late.

"Ling Kai, Ling Kai, are you inside?!" 

[Pupa: Ding! Breakmeter increases to 80%. This is the bonus Breakmeter for unlocking the second hidden plot! Congratulations, host!]

[Pupa: Alert! Breakmeter decreases to 75%.]

Yunyu was dumbfounded when he heard the notification from the system. He asked the system;

[Where is Ling Kai's position currently?] 

Pupa didn't reply for a moment, and then after a few minutes it returned to Yunyu and reported;

[Pupa: He is not within my radius, I have to search for him extensively before knowing his exact location. But, the Breakmeter has been triggered, that means…]

[Oh no--]

Yunyu felt a bad premonition that was about to happen. The bonus Breakmeter has been triggered alongside the decrease of the Breakmeter, that means Ling Kai witnessed everything in Bi He's house. At this point, Yunyu just hoped that Ling Kai wouldn't misunderstand anything.

Ling Kai and Bi He were in Bi He's room. Ling Kai told Bi He to sit in silence while he extracted his brain bead. It was particularly a painful task for him, even though he was powerful, extracting your life essence out of your current body would always result in him grimacing in agony until he got his new body. 

 Bi He watched Ling Kai whose skull suddenly glowed in a beautiful dark amber color. It was vivid, yet grotesque, especially when he cracked his skull open with his finger and slowly took out a brilliant brain bead from his head. 

It was about the size of a golf ball. It glowed brilliantly with dark amber and crimson colors clashed into one another inside the brain bead. Ling Kai grimaced in pain a few times, he was still alive, although his body had been severely weakened. 

"T—This is my brain bead, once you eat it. It will take five hours until I can take a new body," Ling Kai said weakly. He offered the brain bead on his palm to Bi He. 

Bi He couldn't wait to eat this brain bead. He had been planning to lure Ling Kai ever since he heard about the legendary zombie king that roamed around freely, causing havoc from one place to another. It was also rumoured that the zombie king could take the body of a living man and make it his own. 

Bi He knew that the zombie king would probably be Professor Ling Kai, because he was the only one that had the best quality ZX agents.

Thus, he went to Duran City and disguised himself as a young man with unique healing ability. He approached the new president, Ru Lan and became his most trusted subordinate. Ru Lan was an amazing man whose strength was unmatched across the land. Ling Kai would definitely be interested in meeting Ru Lan or himself.

His deduction was correct when Ling Kai appeared and poured a bit of his brain essence into his mouth to make him powerless. However, Ling Kai seemed to be more interested in Ru Lan rather than him. Ling Kai investigated Ru Lan's body from him and Ling Kai was set to make Ru Lan his new container. 

His first plan was to make Ru Lan and Ling Kai fight against each other, he expected Ling Kai to be heavily wounded while Ru Lan was dead, then he would voluntarily use his body as Ling Kai's new container. 

He was well aware that he was immune to ZX caution after he drank the miracle cure, so he would gain all Ling Kai's ability but still maintained his original consciousness. 

Who would've expected that Ling Kai waged a war against Duran City and took Ru Lan as hostage. Bi He thought that he lost his chance, but he was fairly satisfied, because he became the new president after Ru Lan. 

Then, Ru Lan and Ling Kai returned as a partner, and Bi He had to continue his original plan to get Ling Kai's brain bead. 

Bi He sent a letter to the raiders before to separate Ru Lan from Ling Kai, it would be better if Ru Lan was heavily wounded and dying. Since he was the only one with miracle regenerating ability, he would press Ling Kai to give his brain bead in exchange of healing Ru Lan.

But those useless raiders were dead and this was his last resort. To trick Ling Kai into thinking that Ru Lan only loved him, not a decaying zombie like Ling Kai. 

"What a beautiful thing," Bi He took the brain bead from Ling Kai's palm. He gazed upon the thick amber and crimson colour of the brain bead. He often went to an expedition with Ru Lan, and the team had killed many zombies. They even killed behemoth zombies on some occasions. 

But none of those zombies had a brain bead as amazing as this, Bi He could feel the intense power hidden inside this thing. 

 Bi He swallowed the brain bead, the brain bead melted inside his mouth, in a split second, Bi He felt his heart stopped. His eyes widened as he felt an uncontrollable amount of power surging inside his body. 

Ling Kai watched Bi He fall on the ground, struggling to keep breathing, this was what happened when someone swallowed his brain bead, so he was not surprised by it. In about five hours, this current body that Ling Kai resided in would turn into mindless decaying zombie, and his consciousness will be transferred to a new body.

Ling Kai wasn't sad that he had to switch bodies, he did it three times already, but this body was a bit special. This body was the body that bonded with Ru Lan.

But Ru Lan didn't like this body, Ru Lan wanted Bi He, so he had to be Bi He for Ru Lan to love him. 

After thirty minutes had passed, Ling Kai looked down at the powerless Bi He lying weakly on the ground. It was risk free for him, because someone that had swallowed his brain bead would not be able to use his body anymore. 

Bi He would turn into a corpse for five hours, so Ling Kai didn't need to worry. 

Ling Kai took Bi He's body, he wanted to put him on the bed. But all the sudden, he felt a surge of strong wind come out of Bi He's body and he was thrown to the wall. 

"What?!" Ling Kai's eyes widened in disbelief, he saw Bi He's corpse moved on its own, he was standing tall and he smirked at Ling Kai. 

"AHAHAHA! This is an amazing power!" Bi He started to laugh maniacally. He was happy that his bet about this power was correct. He could gain the zombie king's power all for himself.

"How could you—" 

"Do you think you can take my body easily?" Bi He asked, "Ling Kai, I know this power more than you do. In fact, I know everything about your life before the apocalypse. You poor thing."

"What?! How did you know about my past life?!"

Bi He was happy when he saw Ling Kai with the same expression that he had the moment Bi He shot him. Dazed and confused, it was a beautiful expression, indeed. 

"Because I am the one who killed you, Professor Ling." Bi He scoffed, "And I will do it again." 

 Bi He pointed at Ling Kai with his index finger and a ball of electricity started swirling on Bi He's finger. 

"DIE!"
