Chapter Index

    After Song Shaolin threatened Zhou Zhou, he was pleased to see the fear and despair hidden in the depths of his eyes. He laughed and left the cold laboratory.

    Zhou Zhou lay down for a whole day, his stomach already rumbling with hunger.

    During this time, researchers in white protective suits came in and out, drawing a tube of blood from him, cutting a few strands of his hair, and scraping his arm a few times.

    Zhou Zhou didn’t miss any chance to escape and kept trying to talk to the researchers.

    “Hey, I haven’t had a drop of water all day. My blood is getting thick, which must affect the experimental data, right?”

    The tall researcher wearing a protective mask ignored him and placed a cold instrument on his chest.

    Zhou Zhou cursed him inwardly but smiled on the surface. “Handsome, is there any news about the General?”

    The researcher’s cold eyes flickered, finally showing a hint of reaction. However, Zhou Zhou, with his sharp eyes, saw the malice in his eyes through the mask.

    “It doesn’t matter if I tell you. The General has been out of contact with the Main Star for two days. According to internal information from the military, he’s very likely been captured alive by thugs. Do you think those desperados will let him come back alive?” The researcher chuckled softly, his words full of schadenfreude.

    Zhou Zhou’s pupils shrank suddenly, and his stomach churned violently. He suppressed the nausea, his eyes bloodshot. “Don’t stand there talking nonsense. Are you even acting like human beings right now? You take the military’s protection for granted, but now you’re hoping he dies in the line of duty so you, a bunch of lunatics, can run rampant throughout the Starry Sky, recklessly disregarding human life!”

    The researcher shook the syringe in his hand and sneered. “Everything our research institute does is for the sake of all Starry Sky humans. Anyone who hinders our experiments deserves to die, even if he is the General.”

    The sharp needle pierced the blood vessel on the back of Zhou Zhou’s hand. He looked coldly at the thick, dark red blood in the syringe, feeling as if he had fallen into an icy pool, a chill emanating from his entire body.

    “Don’t expect anyone to come and save you. After all, no one knows you’re missing except for that bodyguard.” The researcher withdrew the needle, slowly pressing a cotton ball on the back of Zhou Zhou’s hand.

    The researcher, wearing gloves, suddenly grabbed Zhou Zhou’s chin. He leaned down, his eyes filled with the same fanatical emotion as Song Shaolin.

    “It’s a pity, no matter how good the skin and flesh are, they still have to be peeled off in the end. Your eyes are especially beautiful. After the experiment is over, I’ll ask the person in charge for your eyes and soak them in preservative as one of my collectibles.” His fingers ran somewhat roughly across Zhou Zhou’s neck, easily unbuttoning the collar.

    “You perverted freak, get away from me!”

    A strong sense of nausea washed over him in waves. The touch of the other’s gloves was like ice, caressing his collarbone in an ambiguous way. Zhou Zhou finally couldn’t help but retch several times.

    However, his stomach was empty, and he couldn’t throw up anything.

    The researcher’s face, hidden under the mask, instantly turned livid. He withdrew his hand, snorted coldly, and, holding the silver-grey medical tray containing the experimental samples taken from Zhou Zhou, quickly left the laboratory.

    According to Zhou Zhou’s observation, the laboratory had no windows. The blindingly bright lights on the ceiling were always on, never turned off, making it impossible for Zhou Zhou to tell whether it was day or night.

    The metal rings binding his hands and feet were very strong. He struggled for a long time, panting with exhaustion, but couldn’t move them an inch.

    “Lunatics! A bunch of lunatics!” Zhou Zhou raised his eyes, glaring at the corner of the ceiling where a machine that looked like a camera was located, and roared loudly.

    He cursed until his throat was dry and sore, and a bloody taste rose in his mouth before he stopped.

    Perhaps his movements were too loud, the laboratory door opened again.

    The person who came in was Song Shaolin, wearing a white coat. His face was filled with an exaggerated and fanatical expression, like a traveler in the desert who was extremely thirsty and suddenly encountered a spring. He came to Zhou Zhou’s side very quickly, carefully looking him up and down.

    According to the monitoring over the past few days, Song Shaolin finally saw the result he wanted.

    Zhou Zhou’s brainwave detection was different from ordinary people, most likely affected by unknown substances from the black hole.

    “Next, it’s time to witness the results of the experiment.”

    Because of excitement, Song Shaolin’s hands were trembling. He gently touched Zhou Zhou’s head and said to himself, “The experimental direction was right from the beginning. As long as we master dark matter, the entire Starry Sky will usher in a new round of blood exchange.”

    Zhou Zhou was now a fish on the chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered. He could only watch Song Shaolin spray something on him.

    A thick, pungent smell made his stomach ache and his face paler.

    He stared at Song Shaolin, seeing him pick up a gleaming scalpel and walk towards him with malicious intent.

    He silently recited Pei Yanlie’s name several times in his heart, almost breaking down and losing his mind.

    At this moment, at the Main Star’s entry point, a spaceship with severe external damage suddenly appeared in the open space.

    Almost in the next second, the spaceship door opened, and a tall figure in military uniform walked out. He was extremely fast. Before the high-ranking federal officials who came to greet him could speak, they were swept by the other’s murderous gaze.

    Pei Yanlie ignored them. Since receiving the news of Zhou Zhou’s kidnapping, he immediately disregarded the gunshot wounds on his body and the obstruction of his subordinates, and resolutely rushed back from the distant Starry Sky.

    He had originally hired six bodyguards, but only one could enter the Federal Army. Now, that bodyguard was also missing.

    The other five bodyguards, realizing that something was wrong, contacted Pei Yanlie in time. However, he was in a difficult situation at the time, and the bodyguards couldn’t contact him for a while, so they could only search everywhere like headless flies.

    When Pei Yanlie received the news, Zhou Zhou had been missing for 24 hours. He kept dialing the other party’s video phone, but the result was a prompt: out of service area.

    Who else could be so bold as to kidnap someone within the military?

    He was certain it was those lunatics at the research institute.

    Filled with anger and worry, he rushed to the Main Star without stopping, fearing that if he was even a second late, he would only see a fragmented corpse.

    He couldn’t accept the fact that his beloved person was forced to leave him again and again.

    When people are in a difficult situation, they are most able to stimulate the hidden abilities in the depths of their minds. At the same time, it also stirred up those lost memories.

    He recalled the day he first met Zhou Zhou, the way the other’s fair and handsome face peeked out from behind a mountain of books taller than his head, so clever and cute.

    He recalled the days when Zhou Zhou’s inner thoughts angered him to the point that he couldn’t bear it anymore.

    He recalled how he was attracted to him, couldn’t help but pay attention to his every move, until he wanted to possess him completely.

    He recalled how he guarded a cold corpse, spending his days like years…

    “Zhou Zhou, I should tie a chain around you, so that you can only stay within my field of vision at all times, never leaving my side.”

    The extremely light voice revealed a chilling coldness. Although the sunlight was hot and scorching, no one dared to stop his progress, and they all made way, keeping their distance respectfully.
