"What a sha. I wanted to trick you into going up for the experints, but throwing you up there after beating you half-dead works just as well. Do you know what's up there?"
The old man seed genuinely regretful, as this might affect the experintal results.
"It should be whatever caused this place to beco like this. Don't ask such simple questions - it's a waste of ti."
Lin Ye responded with disdain.
"...Would you like to conduct experints with ? I'll give you a chance to survive."
Though survival would take a different form.
"Don't give any chances, because I won't give you any chance to survive. That would make seem a bit petty."
Lin Ye had no intention of letting this old bastard live.
"What a pity. Even soone of your caliber can't see through the essence of this world. Don't you think it's an honor for those ordinary people to beco experintal materials? Without , they would just muddle through their aningless lives. I gave their brief existences purpose. They should be thanking , not constantly thinking about escaping."
If it weren't Lin Ye standing here, the old man probably wouldn't have wasted so many words. Like encountering a chess opponent of similar skill, the old man felt a rare desire for conversation.
"I don't care. I don't care about your garbage experints, and I don't care about these patients. Everyone must take responsibility for their own actions. They got this ending because of their own problems - it has nothing to do with . I just want to kill you and leave this place. You're blocking my path, so I'll kill you. That's the true essence of the world."
Lin Ye completely disregarded the old man's nonsense. If he wanted to do sothing, he wouldn't explain himself to others. Right now, he was just buying ti.
"Haha, you understand quite well after all! That's exactly right. But now there's a problem - these people are all excellent experintal subjects I've selected. Each of them is stronger than those worthless trash outside. You probably relied on so ability to control blood burning to kill those worthless ones outside. That should be an ability you obtained from over there. But now that I'm not letting them tear through their epidermis, how will you kill ?"
The old man had been observing all the experintal subjects, and Lin Ye was one of the most outstanding among them.
"Forty-three."
Lin Ye spoke calmly.
"What? Oh, you an the number of experintal subjects. So what?"
Looking at Lin Ye's completely calm expression, a sense of foreboding rose in the old man's heart, but he couldn't pinpoint where the problem lay. These doctors, nurses, and orderlies were all high-quality experintal subjects he had carefully selected. In terms of power level, each one could handle the opponent.
"I indeed can't ignite their blood through their epidermis, but there's one issue - their epidermis is too crude, and they're all experintal subjects with almost zero control over their own flesh and blood... Shh, do you hear that? That's the sound of flesh and blood flowing."
I'm sensing the flow of their flesh and blood. What are you waiting for? Waiting to die?
Lin Ye closed his eyes, extended his right hand forward, and curled his five fingers into a loose grip toward his palm. He had grasped the lody of flesh and blood!
Forty-three torches ignited out of nowhere. Forty-three experintal subjects exploded simultaneously. Blood ignited flesh, energy tore through epidermis, and forty-three monsters revealed their true forms while howling in agony.
Simultaneously igniting the blood of forty-three monsters was no easy feat. If he hadn't obtained that Flesh and Blood Rule Fragnt, Lin Ye wouldn't have been capable of this level. He had quite good compatibility with that Flesh and Blood Rule Fragnt, while the other Fate Rule Fragnt felt as if it didn't exist at all.
After catching his breath, Lin Ye was about to control that flesh and blood to attack the old man whom he couldn't ignite, but the old man tore open his own body first, transforming into a tall, burly humanoid monster.
Lin Ye sighed. He knew it wouldn't be that simple to deal with his opponent.
"You're quite good, but unfortunately, I'm stronger!"
The monster vanished from its spot, instantly teleporting in front of Lin Ye and throwing a punch at his head.
Its speed was extrely fast, but Lin Ye had already been predicting its attack pattern from the mont it tore its body apart, so the punch only struck the air beside Lin Ye.
However, Lin Ye's Fishhook accurately struck its chest, using the monster's own montum to tear open its thoracic cavity and hook away its heart.
This was the advanced technique recorded in that notebook - Heart Snatching.
It was an advanced technique that could leverage external forces to seize an enemy's organs. When mastered to a certain level, one could even remotely pluck away an enemy's vital organs from a distance by harnessing various forces.
I don't move, yet the organs co to .
With the monster's thoracic cavity ruptured, Lin Ye wanted to use Blood Burning at close range, but at the last mont before activating the skill, he forcibly stopped himself.
Blood Burning could release the energy contained within blood, serving as both an offensive and enhancent skill. He certainly didn't want to ignite the old man only to get himself killed in the explosion.
The monster quickly retreated, putting distance between itself and Lin Ye. It feared Lin Ye might control its blood.
"Cough cough, what is this... Damn it, you can control blood from this distance too?"
The monster suddenly exploded, all its flesh and blood throughout its body crushed into the purest red liquid. That liquid floated in mid-air, rapidly changing form, and finally coalesced into a middle-aged man wearing luxurious formal attire.
Lin Ye pulled Little Qi back a step. Such a sophisticated operation of transforming flesh and blood into clothing clearly indicated this was no ordinary opponent. This person was likely the true mastermind behind everything, while the one they had just fought was rely a front-line underling.
"Truly worthless. I thought he could at least injure you."
The man's tone was flat, as if he didn't care about everything that had just happened.
"And what are you? The true master of this place?"
Lin Ye attempted to manipulate the blood within the man's body, but discovered that the other's body seed to contain no blood at all, making it completely impossible to use his skills.
"Are my Rule Fragnts useful?"
The man clearly noticed Lin Ye's subtle attempt, but showed no intention of stopping him, allowing Lin Ye to continue trying.
"Quite useful. Can you give a few more? I'd like to assemble a complete one."
Lin Ye stopped trying. If the Rule Fragnts truly belonged to this man, then he needed to be careful not to let the other influence his own flesh and blood.
"I don't even have a complete one myself, and having more Rule Fragnts isn't necessarily better. Keeping Rule Fragnts with poor compatibility can actually have negative effects on oneself... But you don't need to worry - you won't reach the stage where you need to be concerned about Rule Fragnt types."
The man revealed a cold smile. He wouldn't let Lin Ye leave this place alive.
"Your Rule Fragnt has excellent compatibility with . Now it belongs to ."
Lin Ye had already prepared for battle.
"Hehe, you're not thinking of fighting , are you? My apologies, but you're not worthy of taking action."
The man revealed a cruel smile and snapped his fingers at Lin Ye.
"?"
Lin Ye looked at the frozen man with complete confusion.
