60: Chapter 60: Hunting Ga 60: Chapter 60: Hunting Ga “With a bang,” Little Poison Insect was thrown entirely by Xiang Shan, crashing into the training room and toppling a glass jar.
The pungent sll of preservative liquid instantly spread everywhere.
Xiang Shan sighed and said, “I’m sorry, I accidentally broke sothing.
I’ll compensate.”
—Compensate?
Compensate for what…
Little Poison Insect looked at the object he had smashed.
He rembered that it was supposed to be…
a brain specin.
It was the brain he had first used to practice skills when he started researching the Demon Sect’s thods.
Naturally, the original owner of the brain had been a random victim of robbery.
At that ti, his skills were rudintary; he had only tried altering the arrangent of the temporal lobe, which caused irreversible damage to the brain’s overall structure and completely destroyed its function.
To commorate this great beginning, he had preserved this brain.
If Xiang Shan was to compensate for this specin…
“What exactly do you want…” Little Poison Insect said bitterly, “What are you really here for?”
“The sa as you guys,” Xiang Shan said as if it was the most natural thing in the world, “Stealing things, and also, venting violence.”
As he spoke, he kindly and friendly pulled Little Poison Insect up from the ground.
Little Poison Insect, furious, threw a punch to knock down Xiang Shan.
But Xiang Shan rely flicked his hand and disrupted his balance.
His punch missed, making him fall forward, while Xiang Shan took the opportunity to prop his chin with an arm and then forcefully twisted it.
With a snap, Little Poison Insect’s spine broke, and his prosthetic body lost control.
Xiang Shan held Little Poison Insect’s head in his hands, letting him look around and asked, “See anything?”
“Those ssed-up things I did…”
Inside this training room, there were several brains.
So of these brains were exposed to the air with electrodes connected, while others were imrsed in a liquid rich in synthetic respiratory pignt, hooked up to so wriggling organs.
On closer inspection, it seed the brains had undergone modifications; so had their myelin sheaths dissolved and then had artificial electrodes implanted, and others had altered neural network connections.
Xiang Shan could even vaguely distinguish the traces of “experintal groups” from “control groups.”
These were not all.
According to Gleayard’s mories, in the last two years, they had repeatedly conducted such operations.
So brains from failed experints that had not died were turned by Little Poison Insect into entertainnt tools.
Others that had died were recycled for biological resources.
“Breaking your things, I truly feel guilty.
Since I said I would compensate, I will definitely give you sothing identical,” Xiang Shan whispered beside Little Poison Insect’s auditory organ, “Then, I’ll tell you so good news in advance—the raw material will be that very brain you’re most familiar with.
Surprised or not?
Happy or not?”
“You…
you this…” Little Poison Insect nearly cried out, “Like this…
like this…”
“Okay, let ask you another question…” Xiang Shan twisted Little Poison Insect’s head one hundred eighty degrees so their prosthetic eyes perfectly faced each other, “Tell , do these brains that you’ve tornted have any chance of recovery?”
“Impossible…
There’s no such precedent…”
“Think carefully.
It’s okay if there’s no precedent; any inspiration or idea will do!” Xiang Shan said, “I think you should hope you know.
If you think of a thod…
I’ll practice on yours before trying to restore those brains.
This is your only chance!”
Little Poison Insect shivered.
In other words…
no matter what, he was definitely going to be “repaid” by Xiang Shan in kind.
“Oh, I have a little sothing else to take care of right now.
You think carefully, think hard,” Xiang Shan said as he let go of Little Poison Insect, then continued to disable Little Poison Insect’s prosthetic hands and legs with multiple heavy moves.
Then, Xiang Shan left the room without looking back.
Seeing Xiang Shan move away, Little Poison Insect struggled to drag his body across the floor using his chin.
Since his neck had been twisted by Xiang Shan into a tangled ss of flesh and tal, this movent was very difficult.
But still, he persisted.
He moved his head in front of an Automatic Maintenance Instrunt.
This device could allow a person to replace their own prosthetic limbs.
“Activate, authorization password 1587AG…” Little Poison Insect called out with difficulty.
Finally, a pair of chanical arms erged from above, grabbed his head, and lifted him to a height of two ters.
More chanical arms extended from inside, locking onto screws and interfaces on the prosthetic body, quickly disassembling them.
Soon, the damaged prosthetic body was detached from Little Poison Insect’s head.
A spare prosthetic body was taken out by the chanical arms from a sealed cabinet.
—Alright…
this is the last chance…
—Before he cos back…
Just at that mont, the entire room suddenly lost power.
In the darkness, only the head of Little Poison Insect was stunned.
Then, he rembered, this was the training room he shared with Gleayard.
Naturally, Gleayard’s privileges were higher than his.————-
Since Xiang Shan had killed Gleayard, he naturally had Gleayard’s privileges.
The Hero was just waiting for this mont.
He chose this mont to cut the power.
The head-only Little Poison Insect was stunned.
After a few seconds, this mber of the Green Forest viciously said, “If that’s the case, then I’ll make sure you get nothing!”
He issued a ‘overwrite’ command to the chip in his brain, trying to cover the original content with aningless gibberish.
But…
For the first ti in his life, Little Poison Insect saw an “error” pop up within his prosthetic eye’s field of view.
Startled, Little Poison Insect then issued a “delete” command.
“error.”
He tried to overwrite and delete again.
“error”
“error”
“error”
“error”
“error”
Little Poison Insect realized it.
In the mont their eyes t, Xiang Shan had revoked his authority.
In the darkness, all resistance and dignity were crushed, leaving only a head of a Martial Artist who finally, with his specially cultivated biological tear glands, shed tears.
“Wu…
Ahhhhhhhhh!
Kill !
Kill now!
If you are truly a Hero, kill now!”
……………………………………
This incident happened roughly fifteen minutes before Little Poison Insect cried.
At that ti, Xiang Shan had just entered the parking lot.
At that ti, no one believed that the Z organization had less than a thousand seconds left.
Emiko, clutching a baby, ran desperately through the corridor.
She was the last one…
no, rather, the second to last one.
Among the group captured with her, she was already the last one.
But perhaps due to being unusable, the place where they were detained still had a dying girl.
This girl was just over two years old, could say a few simple words, but not in sentences—probably because no one had taught her, her progress in speaking lagged far behind her peers, and she did nothing but cry all day.
Unfortunately, her entire mouth had been removed, leaving a trumpet attached to her face, while a tube opened on her throat.
Initially, Emiko found the baby incredibly annoying.
She was constantly facing the threat of death; how could she care about such matters?
But Emiko’s sister felt great pity for the baby.
Occasionally, she would bite her own thumb and drip blood into the nutrient delivery tube on the girl’s throat to soothe the child.
Fortunately, they both had very low modification rates, “almost natural persons” from the lower ranks of society; otherwise, they couldn’t have managed this.
In the long…
uncounted days of captivity, this little girl seed to beco one of the few consolations within the cage.
Occasionally, girls with low modification rates by the Green Forest would be dragged out to do despicable things.
But after enduring such humiliations, it seed that holding the child could provide a bit of solace to their spirits.
Well, it would have been better if the child didn’t cry.
That’s what Emiko thought.
The more Yawgmoth advocated “the duty of humans to continue their genes,” the more those in the Martial World seed to disdain it.
They didn’t mind using the biological cells of both parties to create gates and producing offspring, but they despised being dominated by the instinct of “gene continuation.” There were no taboos on the Green Forest side, but few actually liked it.
Most of the ti, a few people just huddled inside the cage.
The number inside the cage dwindled further.
It was probably yesterday when Emiko’s sister was taken away.
Emiko passed out crying.
When she woke up, it was only the child gently patting her face.
Emiko wept bitterly.
But at that mont, she realized the cage seed to be unlocked.
The girl made a fierce decision and escaped with the baby.
Once she left the cage, she realized the Green Forest’s guard over her was incredibly lax.
Along the way, all of them were engrossed in their gas.
She always found cover.
Soon, she found a way out and entered the corridor.
Emiko trembled with excitent.
She recognized this area—she had seen such scenes when she was captured.
The long, dark corridor felt like a path leading to the world of death.
But Emiko had no choice but to sprint.
Running was her only option.
After turning several corners, she intuitively entered a side passage.
But at the next corner, a boy around ten years old suddenly appeared before her.
Emiko startled, thinking he was one of the Green Forest, and almost scread.
But after seeing Yuki’s face, she hesitated for a mont.
— Is he also soone who escaped like ?
The girl thought this and then decisively turned around.
If Yuki had escaped, it ant that direction was not the way out.
And if Yuki was with the Green Forest, then she had already exposed herself.
Change direction… That way, she and the boy might both have a chance to get out…
Yuki, in turn, clutched his heart.
Honestly, he was scared half to death.
If he hadn’t realized there couldn’t be a Green Forest with such a low rate of modification, he would have uttered the incantation his master taught him.
— What on earth is that woman…
Yuki watched the woman leave in the opposite direction.
Master had just left a minute ago…
This…
It was then that Yuki heard the sound of tires.
