Jiang Xia's story is in Chinese. However, here is the continuation based on the provided text, translated into English: **Jiang Xia's Story (Continued)** Overwhelmed by the sheer will to survive, Jiang Xia dug his ten fingers desperately into the ground. Li Sitong's strength was immense, and his fingers scraped against the rough surface until they bled. Dragged to Li Sitong's feet, Jiang Xia saw the tentacle that had pulled him. It was Li Sitong's right hand, which reverted to its normal form after releasing him. Xu Kun stood rigidly in place, blood streaming down his face. Only after the three tentacles embedded in his skull reluctantly withdrew did his body finally topple backward. The tentacle in Li Sitong's mouth also retracted, becoming her original, pink tongue again. The corners of her mouth were stained with blood, her breathing was rapid, and her face was flushed crimson. After wiping the blood spatter from her cheek, she suddenly crouched down, grabbing Jiang Xia by the collar. Her eyes turned cold, and she asked in a displeased, interrogative tone, "I told you to come over and hold me just now. Why didn't you?" Jiang Xia opened his mouth, but it felt as if something was lodged in his throat. He couldn't utter a single word. *In this situation, how could I possibly dare to come over?!* Li Sitong, who had been furious a moment ago, suddenly smirked mischievously. She brought her face close to Jiang Xia's, extended her blood-stained tongue, and licked a stripe from his chin to his forehead. Then, she leaned in close to his ear, her voice dripping with seduction: "Don't be afraid, darling. I won't hurt you. Right now, you probably haven't realized what's happened to you yet. It's okay... soon, very soon, you'll understand." She was like a lunatic! Someone mentally unstable! No, she wasn't human! "Let's eat first. After we eat, I'll take you to a hotel. I know a nice five-star couples' hotel nearby. Tonight, you'll be with me..." Jiang Xia's gaze fell on Xu Kun's corpse beside them. Seeing Xu Kun's disfigured face, his own complexion paled and then turned green, a wave of nausea churning in his stomach. Noticing Jiang Xia's reaction, Li Sitong slightly frowned. "What, you can't eat it?" Li Sitong wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with her thumb, then offered it to Jiang Xia with an intimate gesture, her tone gentle: "Weren't you so hungry? Eating this will make the hunger go away." "Try it. Just try it once, and you'll realize how fortunate you are now. Once you've tried it, you won't be able to stop." As she spoke, Li Sitong pushed her thumb against Jiang Xia's lips, trying to force her entire finger into his mouth. Out of the corner of his eye, Jiang Xia spotted a man further up the road, seemingly a security guard for the ancient city. His eyes flickered; he was about to call for help, but the words died in his throat... The man walking down was indeed a security guard for the ancient city. But from this guard, Jiang Xia sensed the same familiar feeling he got from Li Sitong! It was that feeling of one wild beast encountering another, sniffing the air, confirming it was one of its own kind! *Same kind!* He and Li Sitong were the same kind! It seemed the middle-aged guard also sensed their kindred aura from a distance, the vigilance in his eyes fading. He lit a cigarette and walked over, standing a few meters away. He glanced impassively at Xu Kun's corpse, then looked at Jiang Xia and Li Sitong. "Hey, you two. Do you know the rules? Is this your territory to mess around in?" At that moment, Jiang Xia's heart reached a peak of unprecedented panic! Li Sitong stood up, offering an apologetic smile. "Sorry, uncle. My boyfriend was just too hungry." The middle-aged guard took a drag of his cigarette, glanced at Xu Kun's relatively intact and fresh corpse on the ground, seemingly entertaining a little idea of his own. "Leave now, and I'll let it slide." "Alright, alright, we're leaving. We'll leave this mess for you to handle then." Li Sitong pulled Jiang Xia, who was slumped on the ground, to his feet and dragged him away. *No way!* They were just leaving? Leaving Xu Kun's body here, just like that?! Jiang Xia looked up at the night sky, tinged reddish by the city lights. *What on earth has happened to this world?!* *Am I also something like Li Sitong?* *What exactly is the [Undercover] in my mind?* *Will I die?* Dragging Jiang Xia by the collar, from a distance, they looked like a domineering girlfriend and her meek boyfriend—a rather happy-looking young couple. The night was deep, and there were almost no people around the ancient city. Walking up along the road, they reached the south gate entrance of the ancient city. Jiang Xia saw a man holding a guitar standing under the gate arch, singing a folk song. The audience wasn't large—only four people! But from all four onlookers—two men and two women—Jiang Xia sensed that same familiar aura of his kin
