Chapter 152: Chapter 138: Tragic
“The information isn’t with me; it’s at the base. I can take you there,”
the female special forces captain said, her eyes flickering briefly.
Tao Yu’s Spirit Perception could clearly sense her malice, yet he was fairly certain she was telling the truth.
It seemed the data had been moved specifically to the base, and it was even possible that a laboratory had been set up there.
Xu Yijing’s fiancé had also been taken there as a researcher.
“Are there really vaccines?”
Tao Yu focused his thoughts intently on her.
“Absolutely! It’s just that one of our test subjects has escaped, and there seems to be a problem with the vaccine, but the data is still there. If you’re willing to cooperate with us, we can still produce the vaccine!”
The female captain, clutching her broken arm, looked somewhat urgent.
As for loyalty, well, she actually wasn’t too bad…
After all, she clearly wasn’t afraid of dying at this point, which was somewhat unexpected.
“No, this isn’t the real Nan Bang; the beauties are all natural. The capabilities of this squad before were elite, so perhaps fierce loyalty and fearlessness in the face of death are just part of their persona.”

A glint shone in Tao Yu’s eyes before he looked down at her and said
“I know you want me to take you to the base, and that could be arranged, as long as you’re willing to agree to some conditions…”
Due to the Monster Armor he was wearing, Tao Yu’s voice took on a layered, deep resonance akin to that of a boss character.
His image, with eyes dark and eerie as ink and the hot breath he exhaled, made for a visually striking impression.
However, as if accustomed to seeing infected bodies, the female captain didn’t take any notice and instead hurriedly said,
“I’ll agree to any condition! Even if you want me to serve you, it wouldn’t be a problem…”
The breathless woman held her broken arm, looking up at Tao Yu.
Even with a scar on her face, her natural beauty was evident.
But this kind of response also struck Tao Yu as odd; Xu Yijing’s words had been impactful, and now this woman’s were as well.
Both from Nan Bang’s female special forces, what kind of bizarre persona was this?
Especially since one of them was willing to risk her life for her fiancé, and the other was willing to die for her mission… Ah, this…
“Take a look in the mirror and see yourself now, what a sight you are.”
Tao Yu spared no mercy in his mockery, prompting the woman to purse her lips and ask in a deep voice,
“Then what do you want?”
“Just relinquish your resistance later, and don’t fight back.”
“Okay…”
The woman’s eyes filled with confusion. Was this the same thing she had proposed?
But she soon understood what Tao Yu meant, as if something was about to enter her mind. Eventually, she indeed ceased to resist and emptied her thoughts.
The next moment, an unparalleled sense of wonder burst forth from the depths of her soul, erasing all her pain, depriving all her perception, as if the world had been reduced to this single sensation!
Then she couldn’t help but make a rather unfortunate noise…
…
Hiding in the room, Xu Yijing started to feel the shock from the blast bombs outside, and she was a little worried.
As a former member of the special forces, she knew all too well the formidable combat power of these special units!
Though Tao Yu was powerful, she feared something might go wrong since the enemy was armed.
But quickly, what followed was a one-sided scream, a very brief end to the battle, and it seemed that Mr. Tao, the boss, had won.
As she was mulling over when to go out, a rather unfortunate sound suddenly came from outside, making her face turn red and she spat in disgust.
“In broad daylight, this is too indecent.”
That irksome sound kept drilling into her ears, involuntarily bringing to her mind the image of Tao Yu’s perfect physique when he had transformed and burst out of his clothes.
She then shook her head repeatedly to clear these thoughts and picked up her fiancé’s tablet.
Upon turning it on, she saw the background picture of happier times and started to calm down while trying to block out the atrocious sounds from outside, her fingers trembling as she began to enter the password.
Soon, I accessed the desktop and saw a folder that contained a diary.
“This is not a disease, it’s a curse, it’s the desire in everyone’s heart, and I too have been hunted by ‘them’…”
The diary clearly recorded the struggle of her fiancé against the “curse,” noting that “they” would tempt him in his dreams every day, but if he could withstand it for fifteen days, he would be able to control this power.
The only way to save humanity was to find a method from someone who could control the monster transformation!
“…Even if I become an experimental subject, I must find a way to break the curse…”
As Xu Yijing was looking at this information and feeling somewhat distracted, the bad noise outside suddenly changed, turning into a hysterical scream.
It startled her.
Could it be? Are they playing it up so much? Could there be a mistake?
“You didn’t come after transforming, did you? Screaming so miserably…”
Xu Yijing imagined some terrible scenes, shuddered, and after hesitating for a moment, she still took the tablet and quietly moved toward the door.
There’s no need to go overboard when taking someone’s life.
Uh…
With an expression of a dead fish, Xu Yijing watched Tao Yu merely placing his hand on a woman’s forehead outside.
But the woman, who seemed to have a broken arm and a streak of blood on her face, was lying on the ground, screaming hysterically in pain.
Her face, pale from the pain, was dripping with a mix of sweat and blood, and it seemed even her throat had gone hoarse, leaving her with nothing but muffled groans.
“Oh, you’ve come out. Did you find anything?”
Tao Yu’s fingers did not leave the other person, and he looked curiously at Xu Yijing’s peculiar expression.
This person must have misunderstood something, right?
The big sister of the society with a head full of paint…
“Oh, yes, I found his diary. He seems to have controlled the monster transformation, but now I don’t know where he is…”
“Oh, she might know, and it’s almost over.”
Tao Yu raised his finger and looked at Park Ji-hyun, who was soaked in sweat and breathing weakly. There seemed to be drool flowing from the corner of her mouth.
“Can you tell me? There’s a reward for answering, and punishment for not answering.”
Tao Yu still did not exit the Demonization, and the low echo of his voice sounded like a demon from the Abyss.
Especially combined with his current appearance, he seemed like a devil in the eyes of the weak Park Ji-hyun.
Thinking about the previous torture and the rewards before that.
An unnaturally bright red color even emerged on her originally pallid face.
When Tao Yu and Sun Shiyu were doing tests initially, that guy had really withstood it completely, controlling everything with his strong spirit.
But clearly, the person in front of him was an ordinary human who really couldn’t resist at all.
Even with persistence, obsession, and loyalty in her heart, she finally spoke falteringly,
“Nam Sang-won was the first individual to control the Demonization and has been subjected to experiments ever since.”
“Didn’t you say the experimental subject had run away?”
Tao Yu continued to inquire.
This caused Park Ji-hyun to fall silent for a moment before continuing,
“Not exactly, the experimental pressure was too great. Nam Sang-won, despite his astonishing regenerative abilities, still nearly died and lost consciousness during a division experiment.”
“Bastards!”
Having read her fiancé’s diary, Xu Yijing was instantly enraged.
According to the diary, Nam Sang-won had been desperately enduring, even willing to become a monster for research.
But who would have thought that with such regenerative abilities after mutation, he was still tortured to the brink of unconsciousness?
And they were still conducting ‘division’ experiments?
What did they consider him to be?!
