Fu Yafang felt her vision go black, as if she had fallen into an abyss.
When she opened her eyes again, she was lying on an examination bed.
Two lecherous men were staring at her.
One of them grinned, revealing a row of large yellow teeth, and said, "Hehehe, Aili will be angry when she knows."
The other was already holding two sharp surgical knives, rubbing them together like cutlery, and said with a smile, "It'll be quick, just ten minutes."
"Don't be scared, my precious. We're just taking your liver for a play. Of course, we'll replace it with a better one. That's if you can hold on until we can replace it! Ha!"
"Fresh experimental subject!"
"The joy of spraying fresh blood!!"
Watching the surgical knife get closer and closer to her chest, Fu Yafang struggled in terror, wanting to escape, but her hands and feet were firmly bound, rendering her unable to move!
The surgical knife gently cut open her top, and her soft chest, bound by her bra, spread out to the sides. The clothing covering her nipples was pushed aside, revealing the fair skin between her breasts.
The man with yellow teeth, holding the surgical knife, lightly touched Fu Yafang's Tanzhong acupoint. Just as he was about to cut open her chest cavity,
The door was violently kicked open!
"Enough!" Huiye Aili shouted angrily, "Get out!"
The two men dejectedly put down their surgical knives and left the laboratory with aggrieved expressions.
Huiye Aili quickly untied Fu Yafang and solicitously handed her a protective suit.
"I'm sorry," Aili said coldly, covering her forehead, her face filled with residual anger.
"It's nothing. Fortunately, you arrived in time. This is the second time; I owe you one," Fu Yafang said, breathing heavily as if she had narrowly escaped death.
The two of them walked out of the laboratory and hurried to Huiye Aili's private office.
A holographic image had already been projected, displaying a portrait of Xu Jie.
"You should recognize him, right?"
Aili asked, sitting down in front of the experimental bench covered with glowing keycaps, and began to operate.
As Aili's fingers moved nimbly, the holographic image began to show Xu Jie's experimental process.
Fu Yafang nodded and said, "A former classmate."
Aili said, "When I was in Shan Hai City, I helped Xing Chenjun research him."
"Among many experimental subjects, only he survived the final test and gained the ability to control mechas with his consciousness."
"Of course, for such a precious experimental subject, I would definitely have a backup."
"I copied a part of his consciousness and brought it here, and gave him new abilities."
"This is an unknown technology from outer space."
As she spoke, Aili pressed Enter, and the holographic image displayed Xu Jie's internal code.
"A more bizarre human modification technology, not of this planet."
"Transforming flesh and blood into machinery, and releasing it."
"I still haven't figured out why organic matter can transform into cold steel and then automatically and orderly form movable mechanical joints."
"From very early on, we were researching this technology, which could almost destroy human will through pain. But Xu Jie achieved it. According to the experimental data, his tolerance for pain was ten times that of childbirth. It's hard to imagine how he endured it."
"However, I have now found a more ideal experimental subject. Even more powerful than Xu Jie."
As Aili spoke, she continued to type on the keyboard, and finally, the holographic image revealed Gu Ya's face.
"He broke that illusory wall by himself and sealed most of the abilities I gave to Xu Jie."
Fu Yafang asked coldly, "What exactly is that wall?"
Aili replied, "Specifically, it's a program placed by some alien technology to infiltrate the planet's technology, attempting to obstruct and disrupt human technological progress. It contains countless useless code."
"Centuries ago, my ancestors began researching that high wall, and by reassembling and utilizing that code, they obtained some information."
The holographic screen displayed some strange creatures again.
Below their large, round heads, seven tentacle-like appendages extended.
The tentacles supported the round heads, allowing them to walk.
On the round head, which was inlaid with intricate mechanical patterns, were arranged three diamond-shaped eyes, with no other facial features.
"This is the original appearance of the extraterrestrial beings that we have restored through the code. We suspect they are the ancient Dunsaxin people," Aili said.
"We speculate that tens of thousands of years ago, the ancient Dunsaxin people failed in their battle with the first Divine Powerholder and lost control of their planet."
"A portion of the ancient Dunsaxin people could not return to the planet and have since wandered in the universe, surviving on massive cosmic mother ships or natural satellites. After tens of thousands of years of evolution, they have formed this appearance."
"They are no longer the same species as the subterranean Dunsaxin people."
"For tens of thousands of years, they have wanted to return to the planet. Due to the Divine Powerholder and the planetary barrier, they have been unable to do so."
After listening to Aili's words, Fu Yafang took a while to process them before asking, "So what do we do now?"
Aili said, "Find Xu Jie and bring him back for further research."
"I want to figure out from him what Gu Ya did to him at that time."
"If Gu Ya could do it, perhaps we can too."
"Using Xu Jie, we can research more derivative technologies."
Then, Aili continued, "What we can confirm now is that Gu Ya, also known as Gu Xingchi, is the new Divine Powerholder."
"No wonder he has such powerful abilities."
"Moreover, when I was recovering the last consciousness data sent by Xu Jie, I discovered that when Gu Ya destroyed the illusory giant wall, a more powerful consciousness fluctuation suddenly appeared."
"That fluctuation even surpassed the 'mass' of that wall."
"I have reason to suspect that someone even more powerful than Gu Ya suddenly appeared and helped Gu Ya destroy the giant wall."
"I want to find out who it is, who possesses such immense power, even surpassing the Divine Powerholder himself."
Fu Yafang nodded. She felt she needed a long time to digest Aili's words.
She was good at intelligence gathering, but science was beyond her.
Aili stood up and smiled at Fu Yafang, saying, "In the Black Star Central Metropolis, there are not only our secret outposts but also countless external force observers."
"All members of the Huiye family are registered. Furthermore, because we possess unknown technology, our appearance will only arouse suspicion from the Black Star higher-ups and cause unnecessary trouble."
"Therefore, I want you to catch Xu Jie for me."
Fu Yafang smiled faintly. She knew there was a reason Aili brought her here.
Moreover, she had just saved her life.
After leaving Huiye City, Fu Yafang took a hovercar back to her home in the Black Star Central Metropolis.
In this not-so-large small room,
The intelligent housekeeper had thoughtfully prepared bathwater, hot water, dinner, and music according to the owner's preferences, and adjusted the indoor temperature to the optimal level.
The holographic image gradually materialized, obscuring the dark and cold city nightscape outside the window.
The room was instantly transformed into a beach under the bright sun and the sea.
A not-so-urgent file processing task was sent to Fu Yafang's communication bracelet.
After being saved by Huiye Aili, Fu Yafang used her abilities to find a leisurely post within the Black Star ruling system to support herself.
While working from home every day, she also received various blind date communications, but she ignored them all.
Now, she just wanted to complete her tasks peacefully and return to Xian Xia as soon as possible.
With the introduction of anti-mutant drugs, Black Star and Xian Xia also entered a brief honeymoon period.
She used her position to finally be able to communicate with Liu Feng under surveillance,
Of course, she also transformed her love into passwords, hiding them in monitored work documents, transmitting them to him far away.
The future path was unpredictable, and peace between Black Star and Xian Xia would not last long.
There were also many undercurrents hidden beneath the calm, and the unknown technologies made Fu Yafang both worried and fearful.
If she didn't know, she could live on in ignorance. Once she understood, she realized how profound and dark this world was.
When Fu Yafang finished dinner and was about to start her night's work,
The doorbell unexpectedly rang.
Few visitors ever came to her home, so who could it be?
When Fu Yafang checked the outside surveillance, she was stunned. Who was this? Just a disheveled vagrant, why was he begging here?
At this moment, the person outside looked up at the camera, revealing a twisted and sinister smile, and said, "Hello, Yafang. We meet again."
"It's Xu Jie, who has been longing for you."
As soon as Xu Jie finished speaking,
The door lock suddenly opened by itself...
