Biwa Thirteen swallowed hard. Just a moment ago, he had clearly seen it — the instant the lid closed, Scorpion fell unconscious.
He felt that Scorpion had been completely deceived by his boss. Not only had he spent thirty million silver taels, but he had also lost his life.
Biwa Jūzō gripped the hilt of his Executioner's Blade tightly as he stared at Yun Xiao's back. He wanted to launch a sudden attack, to catch Yun Xiao off guard.
But when he looked at Yun Xiao's seemingly defenseless posture, riddled with openings, Biwa Jūzō still hesitated.
Damn it! The man was clearly full of flaws, yet Biwa Jūzō had the terrifying feeling that if he dared to make a move, he would be instantly killed!
In the end, Biwa Jūzō gave up on the idea of striking. He could only conclude that Yun Xiao was far too powerful…
"Metamorphosis requires time. Please wait a moment," Yun Xiao said as he suddenly turned around.
The sudden movement startled Biwa Jūzō, who thought Yun Xiao was about to attack.
But upon hearing Yun Xiao's words, Biwa Jūzō muttered in his heart: That Red Sand Scorpion's body must already be completely hollowed out by now…
If Yun Xiao had known what he was thinking, he would have given him a thumbs-up and praised him: "Smart!"
In fact, Scorpion had already removed all his internal organs, leaving only his heart.
The current transformation was replacing his flesh, bones, and body with machinery…
"Other than melee weapons, is there anything else you need?" Yun Xiao asked with a smile.
But in Biwa Jūzō's eyes, Yun Xiao's smile was nothing short of demonic.
He thought Yun Xiao was trying to trick him into stepping into that metallic apparatus, after which he would vanish without a trace…
Terrified by the thought, Biwa Jūzō shook his head frantically."N–No… I don't need anything…"
Yun Xiao looked slightly disappointed, thinking that Biwa Jūzō was simply broke.
Patting him on the shoulder, Yun Xiao sighed."Sigh, you're already an adult. You should really save up some money, get married, and live a proper life."
Hearing this, Biwa Jūzō's eyes widened in horror. He hadn't expected this boss to not only know he was poor but also that he was unmarried!
Biwa Thirteen's legs began trembling uncontrollably. In front of Yun Xiao, it felt like he had no privacy whatsoever.
Damn it! This was all the fault of that cursed Uchiha. If it weren't for the few words Obito had said before leaving—sparking his curiosity and making him linger here—he never would have come!
Now, with Scorpion's life or death uncertain and under strict surveillance by this boss, he didn't even have a chance to escape.
Finally, he understood why the leader at the entrance and Konan had bolted away so quickly earlier.
At the time, he had wondered why they were in such a hurry to leave.
Now he realized—They had sensed the danger!
And he, foolish as he was, had followed Scorpion into the shop. That was no different than turning on a light in the latrine—just asking to be killed!
Thinking this, Biwa Jūzō wanted to slap himself across the face several times.
Curiosity really did kill the cat!
He swore to himself that if by some miracle he survived this ordeal, he would never, ever let curiosity guide him again.
Yun Xiao noticed Biwa Jūzō's complexion turning pale and greenish, sweat pouring down his face.
"Are you alright?" Yun Xiao asked with concern.
He recalled that in the original story there hadn't been any mention of Biwa Thirteen having health problems.
Staring at Biwa Jūzō's pale, sickly face, Yun Xiao fell into thought.
But Biwa Jūzō, seeing Yun Xiao's gaze fixed on him, nearly died of fright on the spot.
Is he planning to stop pretending? Is he about to kill me right here?
Was his life truly going to end in this place?
Biwa Jūzō should have known from the start—A man capable of forging a blood demon sword could never be a good person.
Biwa Thirteen shut his eyes tight, preparing himself for death.
All he hoped was that Yun Xiao would kill him quickly, sparing him from too much pain.
Just as Yun Xiao was about to ask him something, the transformation device suddenly rose up.
Yun Xiao froze for a second."So fast?" he murmured, opening the device's lid.
Biwa Jūzō heard the noise and instinctively opened his eyes. What he saw made him collapse on the floor in terror.
"D–Demon… this is a demon!" Biwa Jūzō shouted in horror.
On the device lay Scorpion's body, sliced into several pieces.
Biwa Thirteen could never have imagined that his boss would actually dismember Scorpion!
Yun Xiao's mouth twitched. So this automatic machine wasn't as foolproof as he thought—
The transformation hadn't reassembled Scorpion properly, so now he had to put him back together manually.
Yun Xiao picked up his tools and began piecing Scorpion's body together.
At this point, Scorpion's body had completely become mechanical. His insides were nothing but densely packed components—no flesh or blood remained.
Seeing this, Biwa Jūzō nearly fainted again.
To him, Yun Xiao was a perverse monster, desecrating even Scorpion's "corpse."
But Yun Xiao didn't notice Biwa Jūzō's reaction.
He looked at Scorpion, lying inside the machine, and asked:"How does it feel?"
Scorpion carefully felt his body's changes, then smiled."It feels strange."
For the first time, Scorpion felt his body was comfortable.
Yun Xiao lifted Scorpion's head and reattached it to his body."There, that should do it."
As Scorpion's head clicked into place, he turned it slightly and realized it didn't feel much different from before.
Yun Xiao then picked up one of Scorpion's legs and demonstrated."This leg is a bit tricky to assemble. Please be patient."
At that moment, Biwa Jūzō, who had fainted earlier, slowly regained consciousness.
He forced his heavy eyelids open, and his blurry vision gradually cleared.
But when he saw the scene before him, he nearly screamed.
Yun Xiao was holding one of Scorpion's severed legs, waving it in the air as if it were some kind of amusing toy.
Biwa Jūzō's heart almost leapt out of his throat. He quickly covered his mouth with his hand, terrified that any noise would draw Yun Xiao's attention.
Thankfully, Yun Xiao's focus was entirely on the scorpion's leg in his hands and he hadn't noticed Biwa Jūzō's awakening. Relieved, Biwa Jūzō's heart eased just a little.
Carefully, he began crawling toward the door, trying to make no sound at all.
Earlier, when he had collapsed, his Executioner's Blade had slipped from his back and fallen to the ground.
But Biwa Jūzō didn't even glance at his beloved weapon now. His only thought was to escape this hellish place alive.
He knew perfectly well that if he didn't seize this rare chance to sneak away, once Yun Xiao noticed him, his life would be over!
Never in all his years as a shinobi had he been so utterly humiliated.
Bit by bit, Biwa Jūzō crawled toward the exit, glancing back at Yun Xiao every few seconds, praying he wouldn't be caught.
As he neared the door, his heart swelled with joy.
Finally, he was almost free! Tears of excitement welled up in his eyes.
I'm finally going to escape this terrifying place! he cried silently in his heart.
But just as he reached the door—
Suddenly, someone walked in.
