Consciousness drifts away from the bustling streets, returning to silence.
The living room is dark, with only a faint city glow seeping through the windows.
Fang Cheng sits quietly on the sofa, his silhouette indistinct in the darkness.
His eyes are bright, yet unfocused, reflecting a deeper void within his pupils.
A scene witnessed through the Spiritual Link replays vividly and repeatedly in his mind.
Initially, when that woman appeared in view, Fang Cheng didn’t recognize her imdiately.
There was just an instinctual sense of uncanny familiarity.
The deanor so calm it bordered on numbness, the slightly turned-in walk, and the defiant glint hidden in her eyes.
All these subtle traits acted like a key, seeking the corresponding lock within Fang Cheng’s vast mory Palace.
It wasn’t until he caught a precise glimpse of the small words on the blue badge on her chest through Xiao Shuai’s perspective.
[Gene Engineering Section Three - Chief Researcher - Cui Xiuying]
Only then did Fang Cheng completely confirm it.
This woman was the fiancée of Shijima Gorou, who vanished into thin air together.
Countless mories surged like a tide into his heart.
Six months ago, Shijima Gorou, hospitalized due to injuries, disappeared without a trace overnight.
Together, his almost inseparable fiancée also lost all contact.
The police intervened to investigate, but found nothing.
Even then, Fang Cheng vaguely felt this was far more than a simple missing persons case, bound to involve deeper forces.
It now seems his suspicions were not only correct, but the truth was darker than he imagined.
According to Shijima Gorou’s account, born into a Martial Arts noble family, he accidentally encountered a representative from a "pharmaceutical company."
The representative claid the company was developing a revolutionary drug capable of stimulating the human body to secrete a mysterious hormone, thereby continuously enhancing athletic performance and breaking common limits.
Driven by a thirst for Strength, Shijima Gorou signed a strict confidentiality agreent and beca a secret test subject.
The initial effects of the drug were miraculous.
His physical fitness and recovery capabilities skyrocketed, making him invincible in the arena, earning countless honors and wealth.
However, behind the glory lay an Abyss.
He soon discovered a terrifying dependency on the drug.
Once he stopped taking it, his body experienced severe withdrawal symptoms.
Even scarier, his ntal state beca extrely unstable, irritable, and angry.
Deep in his subconscious, a strong desire for killing erged.
"It’s as if there’s a monster living inside ."
Fang Cheng clearly rembered Shijima Gorou lying on the hospital bed, saying this painfully.
"It might break free at any mont, ripping apart everything around ..."
Seeking a cure for his horrific ailnt, Shijima Gorou followed his grandfather’s advice and journeyed to Xia Country, visiting Martial Arts masters and fighting Experts everywhere.
During his stay in the East Capital, he t Fang Cheng, then a sparring partner at a club.
In the villa’s garden, they engaged in an intense, unrestricted fight.
Fang Cheng’s thoughts were fixed on that extraordinary transformation scene.
As the battle heated up, Shijima Gorou could no longer suppress the "monster" within, causing a terrifying mutation.
His skin turned dark, muscles swelling, eyes blood-red, only missing two horns growing from his head,
It was no longer human, practically a demon reborn.
Fang Cheng leaned against the sofa, fingers intertwined, cracking loudly with slight pressure.
It now seems that the so-called "pharmaceutical company" was undoubtedly Noah Pharmaceutical.
And the drug trial Shijima Gorou participated in was just one of the nurous human experints conducted globally by Noah Organization.
With this thought, Fang Cheng’s eyes flickered as he slowly exhaled a deep breath.
Since Cui Xiuying hadn’t disappeared but instead transford into a core researcher for Noah Organization.
The nature of the entire matter had entirely changed.
Perhaps she was a pawn implanted by Noah Organization by Shijima Gorou’s side from the very beginning?
Was the so-called "pharmaceutical company representative’s" appearance even orchestrated by her?
If this hypothesis holds, then Shijima Gorou hasn’t disappeared, nor is he dead.
A "precious" Experintal Body fused with drugs and his Martial Arts genes, how could Noah Organization allow him to easily vanish?
The more likely scenario is he was secretly taken away, confined in a more clandestine laboratory for deeper human transformation experints.
"Perhaps..."
An idea flashed through Fang Cheng’s mind like lightning.
The "critical secret" Cheng Jiashu ntioned, hidden within the Noah Pharmaceutical experintal area, enough to bring the entire Noah Organization East Capital Branch down with it...
Could it be an Experintal Body like Shijima Gorou, transford into a biological weapon?
Thoughts churned ceaselessly in his heart.
Fang Cheng stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and gazed at the city shrouded in night.
Countless lights gathered into brilliant rivers of light, spreading outwards in the darkness.
Yet beneath the facade of this bustling tropolis, so blood-curdling atrocity lay hidden, capable of shaking the world.
Why has Cheng Jiashu and the Special Search Team not taken action against Noah Pharmaceutical?
