I am the Clone of a Death Row Inmate

Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Celestial Sea Wings

Su Ze examined himself. He was like an overinflated balloon, swollen up and floating against the ceiling.

This was different from the full-body swelling he’d experienced when he absorbed the Mutated Giant Crocodile Extract. This time, it felt as if every single cell had been inflated, increasing in volume and causing his entire body to grow larger.

Su Ze knew he was being affected by the evolutionary power within the extract. It was just like the first time he’d jumped a tier to absorb the Rock Scorpion extract, which had caused a paralytic, petrifying reaction.

The Black-bellied Salamander was a Wind Attribute mutated beast. Su Ze was, for all intents and purposes, experiencing a ”Demon Wind Entering the Body.”

All he had to do was endure it.

But enduring it wasn’t so easy. Wounds began to split open all over Su Ze’s body, gushing blood. This was the result of taking in too much; his body couldn’t handle it.

He didn’t panic. His Regeneration Skill activated, and the wounds on his body began to heal themselves at a rapid pace.

As long as he didn’t literally burst from the pressure, it meant his constitution could, just barely, withstand this tube of Tier 3 S-rank extract.

Su Ze was now starting to regret one thing: why hadn’t he absorbed the extract in the bathroom?

He was getting blood all over the room, making it look like a murder scene.

An unknown amount of time passed before Su Ze’s body deflated like a punctured doll.

BANG!

Su Ze fell onto the bed and let out a long breath. The hardest part was over. Now, all he had to do was wait for his body to fully absorb the Black-bellied Salamander Extract.

A moment later, Su Ze’s consciousness entered the void world for the skill selection phase.

He, of course, chose the Flying Skill ”Celestial Sea Wings” without a moment’s hesitation.

His consciousness returned to his body. The wounds on Su Ze’s body had all healed, but the blood that had stained his skin had dried, forming a thick layer of scabs.

As he moved, the scabs cracked and broke apart with a series of CRUNCHING sounds, falling onto the bed.

Su Ze shook his head helplessly, wondering how he was going to clean up the disastrous mess in his room.

Just then, Su Ze suddenly felt another strange energy surge from within, strengthening his body.

’This is the effect of the ”Knowledge is Power” skill. Because I’ve obtained a new skill, my body is getting another enhancement...’ Su Ze finally remembered he had this ability.

Once the enhancement was complete, Su Ze brushed off the remaining blood scabs, went into the bathroom to take a shower, and changed his clothes.

Having just acquired a Flying Skill, he wanted to go out for a test flight, but now he had to figure out how to clean his room first.

Su Ze took out his phone, did a search online, and eventually found a cleaning company that offered on-site service.

The company was called the ”Little Raccoon Cleaning Company.” It claimed all its cleaning staff were equipped with the Cleaning Skill from the Little Raccoon mutated beast. Their rates were steep, but their reviews were excellent.

Su Ze quickly contacted the company and arranged for them to send someone over to clean as soon as possible.

”Remember, call me when you get here. Don’t knock on the door,” Su Ze repeatedly instructed.

He didn’t want Mrs. Yun or Liou Wenxin to see the state of the room, as he didn’t want to reveal that he had just absorbed his fourth Pupa Stage extract.

For the time being, Su Ze had no intention of telling anyone about his Divine Grace of Evolution skill.

About half an hour later, Su Ze’s phone rang. It was the person from the cleaning company.

A clear and pleasant female voice came from the other end of the line. ”Boss, I’ve arrived at the main gate downstairs.”

Su Ze said, ”Go around to the back of the villa. I’ll come down and get you.”

After hanging up, Su Ze walked out onto his room’s balcony. A short while later, he saw a girl in a school uniform with a backpack and a high ponytail walk up to the outside of the villa’s backyard. She was peering around, seemingly confused as to why the backyard had no gate.

Su Ze leaped off the balcony. His Flying Skill, ”Celestial Sea Wings,” activated, allowing him to fly steadily in the air.

Celestial Sea Wings: Condenses evolutionary power into a pair of invisible wings, granting the ability to fly in the sky and swim through water.

The reason Celestial Sea Wings was a top-tier Flying Skill was that, in addition to its dual use in the sea and sky, its speed and agility were excellent, and it provided stable flight.

Su Ze flew down and landed beside the girl, getting a clear look at her face. She had fair skin and a round, apple-shaped face with a hint of a girl’s innocent dorkiness.

When the girl saw Su Ze fly down, she was startled at first. But when she recognized his face, she jumped up in excitement, her mouth opening to cry out.

Su Ze quickly covered her mouth and made a ”shushing” gesture.

After a good while, the girl managed to contain her excitement, but her eyes were still brimming with exhilaration.

She asked in a low voice, ”Senior Su Ze, are you the one who requested the service?”

”Yeah. I’ll take you up in a minute. Try not to make too much noise.”

”Okay.” The girl nodded obediently.

Su Ze put an arm around her and used his Celestial Sea Wings skill again to fly up to the balcony.

”You just need to clean this room,” Su Ze said, pointing inside.

However, the moment the girl stepped into the room, she jumped in shock. The smell of blood assaulted her nostrils. The room was covered in bloodstains—it looked just like a murder scene. She was terrified she was about to find a corpse in the bathtub.

’Could it be that the Su Ze I’ve been a fan of is a psychopathic serial killer?’

Su Ze noticed a hint of fear in the young girl’s eyes as she looked at him and explained helplessly, ”I lost a little control while absorbing an extract just now and got injured.”

As soon as she heard that, the wariness in her eyes vanished, replaced by concern for Su Ze’s injuries.

”I’m fine. By the way, are you also a student at Dongli University?” Su Ze asked, changing the subject.

”Not yet, but I’ve been accepted into Dongli University. I’ll be starting next month.”

’So she’s an incoming freshman. Doesn’t that mean she’ll be starting at the same time as me...?’ Su Ze found it a little strange. Anyone who could get into Dongli University was one of the chosen few, so why would she be working for a cleaning company?

While chatting with Su Ze, the girl didn’t forget her job. A ball of water materialized between her hands. She pressed it against a bloodstained wall, and wherever the water flowed, all traces of blood and filth were wiped completely clean.

He had to admit, the skill was incredibly useful. The places she cleaned were even cleaner than they had been originally.

After talking with the girl for a while, Su Ze learned that she was an orphan who grew up in an orphanage. Her name was Han Xiaoke, and she was working a part-time job during the holidays.

All the other employees at the cleaning company had gone home for the New Year holiday. She was the only one still working because the pay was higher during this period.

”I’ll be eighteen next year, so I’ll have to leave the orphanage and become independent. That’s why I have to work hard and earn a little extra money!”

Han Xiaoke’s lips curved into a smile, revealing two small dimples. The hardships of life hadn’t diluted the sweetness of her smile.

Soon, the room was clean. Su Ze paid the fee and gave Han Xiaoke an extra tip.

Su Ze flew her back down to the outside of the yard and waved. ”See you next year.”

”Thank you, Senior! I was so happy to meet you.”

The girl turned and skipped away cheerfully.
