Qiao Yu wanted to struggle and see if his good brother was still there when he heard this, but his limbs were bound, and even his mouth was blocked, so he couldn't break free at all.

　　Tang Wumou caught him just to turn him into a girl? Replacing Tang Lan is how he's doing it? This old man is a psychopath!

　　"Qu Lu, stop teasing him, let's get down to business." Another man's voice sounded.

　　"Hey, what's the rush? Didn't you see the horror in that kid's eyes just now? It's hilarious." Qu Lu glanced at Qiao Yu with some reluctance before walking away.

　　Qiao Yu felt a chill down his spine from that look. He struggled to raise his head and realized that he was lying naked on the operating table.

　　Phew! Fortunately, his big brother is still there!

　　Qiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

　　He was still in the basement of the Tang family, and lying on another bed not far from him was Tang Wumou, who was also naked.

　　Tang Wumou's skin was wrinkled all over, like an old grapefruit peel that had been in the refrigerator for three years.

　　Two people in protective suits were busy doing something next to him.

　　At this time, Tang Wumou's eyes were constantly sizing him up, with a greedy look in his eyes.

　　The look made Qiao Yu feel a chill. Could this old geezer Tang Wumou have a thing for men?

　　"Heh heh, as expected of the strongest 18-year-old human body, this body is so perfect!"

　　Tang Wumou couldn't help but lick his lips.

　　Qiao Yu frowned when he heard this, but his mouth was sealed, so he couldn't speak.

　　"Qiao Yu, are you curious as to why I went to so much trouble to capture you?"

　　Tang Wumou chuckled and began to speak as if talking to himself.

　　"I'm about to die of old age. If nothing unexpected happens, I won't live past this month."

　　"But I don't want to die. I'm so rich, and I'm the powerful head of the Tang family. How can I just die like this?"

　　Tang Wumou's eyes suddenly became fanatical as he looked at Qiao Yu, and his smile became even more sinister.

　　"Qiao Yu, tell me, if I delete your memories and load my memories into your brain chip, wouldn't I be resurrecting with your body?"

　　Qiao Yu's pupils instantly constricted into pinpoints. So, this old geezer was planning this! This old geezer actually coveted his body!

　　He originally thought that things like seizing someone's body only happened in fantasy novels, but he didn't expect it to happen in modern society.

　　"Originally, the best candidate was Tang Lan. She's my granddaughter, and it's less likely that there would be a rejection reaction," Tang Wumou continued slowly.

　　"But since you appeared, it's better to choose you. After all, you seem to have a lot of secrets! For example, your eyes that suddenly turned dark blue?"

　　Tang Wumou stared greedily at Qiao Yu's body.

　　Qiao Yu seemed calm on the surface, but in reality, he was panicking like crazy.

　　"Xiao Ji! Quickly find a way to take action! If you don't, you'll have to spend your days with an old man in the future!" Qiao Yu shouted in his heart.

　　"I can't take action. They injected you with a nerve-paralyzing agent when you were unconscious. Most of the effects of that medicine were absorbed by me..."

　　"Xiao Ji? Xiao Ji? Are you okay, Xiao Ji?"

　　The Mechanical Empress suddenly stopped talking, and no matter how Qiao Yu called, there was no response.

　　Damn it, is he really going to fall into the hands of this old geezer today?

　　The Mechanical Empress is dormant, and he's bound. This is a completely hopeless situation!

　　"Patriarch Tang, the preparations are complete. Shall we begin now?" The man named Qu Lu earlier asked Tang Wumou.

　　Tang Wumou glanced at Qiao Yu: "Begin!"

　　Qu Lu nodded and walked to Qiao Yu's operating table. With a gentle press, Qiao Yu's operating table began to slowly rise, eventually maintaining a vertical position.

　　At the same time, Tang Wumou's operating table also stood up.

　　The two operating tables moved back at the same time, retreating to a huge device that looked like a hibernation pod. Then, two beams of light enveloped Qiao Yu and Tang Wumou at the same time.

　　The restraints on Qiao Yu's operating table instantly loosened and fell off, but under the shroud of that beam of light, Qiao Yu couldn't move at all.

　　"Don't worry, it won't hurt. It'll sting a little at first, but you'll feel comfortable later."

　　Tang Wumou stared greedily at Qiao Yu. The thought that this young body would soon belong to him made him uncontrollably excited.

　　Just as Qiao Yu was about to open his mouth and scold the old geezer, the device on his head activated instantly. Qiao Yu suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head.

　　The degree of pain was even worse than when he first fused with the ghost eye. It was as if someone had poured a spoonful of hot oil into his brain.

　　"Ah!!!"

　　Qiao Yu couldn't help but roar out.

　　Tang Wumou looked at Qiao Yu with anticipation, and Qu Lu and the other stretched their necks as well.

　　Since the establishment of the metaverse inner world, no one had ever tried such a thing.

　　If this experiment was successful, it meant that the rich could live forever in the future!

　　The flesh is weak, but consciousness can ascend.

　　As long as consciousness exists forever and keeps changing bodies, one can continue to live!

　　While their attention was all on Qiao Yu, they didn't notice that a black shadow was quietly approaching.

　　Qiao Yu's consciousness was already a little blurry. He felt that the memories in his brain were like mottled rust.

　　And the beam of light that enveloped him was like a wire mesh, constantly trying to wipe away the rust.

　　Every time it wiped, a sharp pain would come from his brain.

　　Just as Qiao Yu's consciousness was about to collapse, he saw a figure rushing towards him.

　　Bang!

　　With a heavy impact, the figure knocked Qiao Yu out of the center of the light beam, causing Qiao Yu to fall in a daze.

　　Qiao Yu shook his head vigorously and finally regained a trace of consciousness.

　　"No!!!"

　　Tang Wumou let out a hysterical roar. The cooked duck suddenly grew wings and flew away. No one could accept this.

　　"Tang Hao, you traitor! Are you going to betray the Tang family that gave birth to you and raised you?"

　　The figure that suddenly appeared was Tang Hao. He smiled bitterly.

　　"My parents gave birth to me and raised me. I, Tang Hao, am just a collateral branch. How can I bear the great name of the Tang family?"

　　"Patriarch, when you advised me to break up with Qin Ke and not provoke the Ji family, did you ever think of today?"

　　"Tang Hao!!!" Tang Wumou stared at Tang Hao with resentment, wishing he could eat his flesh and drink his blood.

　　He had calculated everything, but he didn't expect that Tang Hao would destroy his plan for a woman.

　　Tang Wumou stepped out of the light beam and grabbed Tang Hao's head in his hand.

　　However, Tang Hao's face showed no trace of fear. Instead, he had a feeling of relief.

　　"Qiao Yu, I'm returning the favor for you saving Ke'er and me in the Ghost Mountain dungeon. I, Tang Hao, don't owe you anything anymore!"

　　"If you can leave alive, help me tell Ke'er that I love her very much. It's a pity that I won't be able to stay with her for the rest of my life..."

　　Tang Hao seemed to have thought of something, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

　　The next second, with a snap, his head exploded like a ripe watermelon.

　　Red and white matter splattered all over Tang Wumou, setting off his thin body like a fierce ghost crawling out of the ghost world.

　　With a狰狞face, Tang Wumou stepped over Tang Hao's disappearing headless body and walked towards Qiao Yu step by step.

　　"There was a little episode, but it doesn't matter. Your body still belongs to me!"
