âAs an exchange, I need you to assist me in completing some experiments. Well, the specific details of the experiments are not yet decided, but itâs very likely that these experiments could endanger your life.â
Upon hearing Wen Yuâs conditions, Lei nodded cleanly and decisively. Once he decided to meet Wen Yu and laid bare all his secrets, the future of both him and Marquez, everything, was already tightly grasped in Wen Yu's hands.
Not to mention that Wen Yu asked Lei to cooperate with some dangerous experiments; even if Wen Yu wanted to turn Lei into a human specimen, Lei had no right to choose.
However, in Lei's opinion, Wen Yuâs âgenerosityâ was relatively broad. At the very least, this time Wen Yu didnât say he would just kill the two of them outright, but instead gave them a âwonderfulâ choice. At least for Lei, this was already a very acceptable outcome.
But what Lei didnât know was that Wen Yu did not place much importance on the so-called âidentity.â
They had no idea that Wen Yu and Tang Haofeiâs current race was already half-human, half-demon. For Wen Yu, position was important, but race didnât necessarily hold much significance.
Of course, the key point was that Wen Yu saw a certain possibility in Lei and Marquez.
If Wen Yu's guess was correct, the importance of these two guys might well exceed their own imagination!
Everything happening to them might be a more affordable and versatile way to break free from the sovereignâs control. The things involved, which Wen Yu didnât understand before, he now had a little knowledge about.
This human-demon transformation technique might even touch upon the authority of the Heavenly Gifted Stone, and even the essence of the Heavenly Gifted Stone!
âFollow me.â
Wen Yu said this, then stood up and walked out of the door first.
...
The situation was even more perfect than Lei had expected. He pondered what experiments Wen Yu would want to conduct on his body, a sense of unease rising in his heart, but his body obediently followed behind Wen Yu until they exited the military department. Long Er was ready with the car, driving straight back to Wen Yu's estate in Beijing.
As the vehicle entered the estate, Wen Yu was the first to get out of the car. After giving Long Er a half-day off, he led Lei into the interior of the estate.
Along the way, they passed by the main courtyard, auxiliary courtyard, conference hall, reception room, and various other buildings, until Wen Yu brought Lei to a rockery in the third garden and finally stopped.
âClick.â
Accompanied by the sound of a mechanism activating, the rockery slowly shifted, revealing a tunnel arranged with a Barrier.
âFollow me.â
Wen Yu said this and then entered the tunnel first.
...
As they traversed the deep corridor, terrifying wails and a strong smell of blood rushed toward them.
Seeing this, Lei immediately furrowed his brows, hesitating in his heart, seemingly doubting whether Wen Yu truly brought him here just for âexperimentsâ as he had said.
âI want to kill you; I donât need to go through so many complicated things. Just follow me obediently, donât pay attention to what you see or hear, and donât talk nonsense outside.â
Wen Yu stated simply, and Lei nodded in understanding.
As the two walked further away, a light slowly appeared ahead, revealing a terrifying âscientific laboratoryâ before Lei's eyes.
...
âWen Yu! Wen Yu!â
âKill me! Kill me!â
âYou wonât have a good death!â
The mournful cries filled the entire hall, and as Lei looked around, his hairs stood on end.
All around were severed limbs and broken arms, with several live specimens firmly locked on shelves, continuously letting out miserable wails.
âThis is the strongest member of the sea king clan at present, brought here to assist me in researching the habits and growth of the sea king clan.â
Upon hearing Wen Yuâs introduction, Lei looked forward and saw a spiritless sea king slowly raising its head, its eyes filled with obvious signs of death.
