The high school student who was opening the door of his villa shouted, but the middle-aged woman who was cleaning the kitchen or the living room as usual did not appear. The chandelier in the hall was dark and as silent as the night outside.
For the first time, Lin Zeyu felt unfamiliar with a home where he could walk from the entrance to his bedroom with his eyes closed. He swallowed, and even the air he breathed into his lungs seemed to be full of fishy smell due to nervousness.
With a "click" sound, the heavy double-open copper door closed, and Lin Zeyu bravely turned on the light switch in his house.
"ah!"
The next scene almost scared him so much that he collapsed on the ground, but his roar was perfectly restrained.
A middle-aged woman in cleaning work clothes had her throat cut. She sat with her head lowered and her eyes wide open on her father's favorite mahogany armchair. Blood was flowing like a river on the ground. After losing blood,
His skin is so pale.
On the seat next to it, which was made up of two log chairs, sat a majestic figure, as oppressive as a hill. His face was ugly and honest, and he kept making silly smiles that were incomprehensible.
Next to him stood seven or eight men who looked at him with a sinister smile. They varied in height, short, fat, thin, beautiful, and ugly. The only thing they had in common was that their faces were all sickly white, as if they had not seen the sun for a long time.
The pupils made of gold glowed like wild wolves on the grassland, completely devoid of humanity.
"Who are you and why did you show up at my house?"
Lin Zeyu backed away in horror and screamed, running out in the hope that someone would hear his cry for help.
"It's so noisy, hold him down."
He had an ordinary appearance and wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses. The only bookish guy among these people waved his hand in disgust.
A small man rushed out like a cheetah, grabbed him by the neck and threw the tall boy back like a dead dog at the feet of the man who gave the order. He smashed his head on the marble tiles until his head was bleeding.
"Boy, let's get to know each other. Kyoto Ghost Cave, Wu Xiao."
The man stepped unceremoniously on Lin Zeyu's handsome fair face, which he had pampered since childhood, as if he wanted to crush all the mud on his soles, and his tone was quite cold.
Back then, he was also humiliated by being looked down upon by a god who seemed to be above him.
"We came here because the goods we were about to receive were lost halfway, and the boss behind the scenes was furious. As a result, a few days later, the boss gave us a new address and said that this family bought the goods they were going to trade for us. You said
With any luck, this address is your home."
He retracted his feet and squatted down, looking at Lin Zeyu's fearful expression as he did not dare to resist.
"I can tell you where the evolution medicine is, but you have to let me go first." Although Lin Zeyu has a arrogant personality, he is not stupid at the critical moment and can quickly guess what the other party wants.
As a result, the people around him with golden eyes like beasts all burst out laughing when they heard these words, and Wu Xiao even sneered and slapped him in the face.
"You bought your goods on the dark web, right? If we want it, why don't we spend our own money to buy it? Doesn't it mean we can't raise a mere $10,000?"
"Then what do you mean?" The boy's face began to look frightened.
"Are you worthy of letting me answer questions?"
The light in Wu Xiao's golden eyes dimmed coldly, "Why don't you, an ordinary person, leave your great fortune without inheriting it? Why do you get involved in these things?"
"Think about it carefully. If the answer doesn't satisfy me, I will be like the aunt over there."
The middle-aged man wearing glasses reached out and turned Lin Zeyu's head on the ground to the side. A bloated female corpse faced each other in silence.
"I just want to become stronger. I want to be like the people in the video, able to have physical fitness far beyond ordinary people." The boy finally broke down and yelled.
After all, the group of people in front of him are all criminal gangsters who kill without blinking an eye.
"What a purely childish idea."
Wu Xiao smiled when he heard this and took back his right hand.
"Then I will give you a chance to become stronger now. Do you want it? Just treat it as our meeting gift."
He clapped his hands, and someone next to him took out a silver box. When he opened it, there were two blood-colored syringes lying inside.
"no no!"
Lin Zeyu roared like a pig tied up in a slaughterhouse, struggling to avoid the approach of the sharp needle.
Injecting the elixir yourself and being held down and forced are completely different things. He didn't even know what he would look like after injecting the elixir.
However, he could only watch helplessly as the blood-colored medicine was pushed into his veins little by little, and even the veins on his neck exploded like small snakes.
The boy's eyes were wide open, and most of the whites of his eyes suddenly burst into bloodshot veins, as if a golden solution flowed into the pupils along the bloodshot veins.
"ah!"
Lin Zeyu, who had a strong body, felt a scorching force exploding from his chest. His muscles all over his body were swelling, and he was rolling violently on the ground and shouting in pain.
"Fake and shoddy products are fake and shoddy products, and they can only be consumed."
Wu Xiao looked coldly at the young man who kept wailing beneath him, but his mind kept going back to a ward filled with the smell of disinfectant.
That's the real nightmare.
After waiting for a long time, the ferocious-looking boy finally regained some of his original appearance. He stood up and tried to stretch his swollen arms, only to feel more powerful than ever before.
"Looks pretty good."
Wu Xiao looked at the tall boy in front of him and whistled softly.
This is an evolutionary drug that can instantly boost the quality of ordinary people to the level of athletes. It is more powerful than simple stimulants and adrenaline. Of course, the side effects are also greater. But Lin Zeyu does not need to know it at this moment.
"How about it? This first gift is quite genuine."
He spoke.
However, the only response he received was a violent fist that tore the air. Wu Xiao's pupils instantly shrank, and as soon as he avoided the attack, he raised his right fist and hit the young man's abdomen hard, causing him to arch up and kneel to the ground in pain.
"Although you now have strength that exceeds that of most ordinary people, you cannot be the opponent of any of us. Only by helping us can you become stronger and stronger until you are qualified to challenge me in the future.
.”
Wu Xiao leaned down and looked at the boy.
He was right, although his speech spirit was only an auxiliary fire. But his body, which had been transformed by dragon blood for a long time, was not something Lin Zeyu could easily shake, no matter how weak he was in the mixed race group.
As the saying goes, it is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. But there are more than 20 billion chickens in the world, so where can you see a phoenix?
A chicken is a chicken, and a phoenix is always a phoenix.
"Oh, right."
Wu Xiao pressed his head and seemed to think of something again. Then he clapped his hands, and a tall and thin man handed over a short dagger. His right hand was covered with ugly green scales, which looked more like sharp claws.
The man slowly put on his gloves and put the bloody dagger's handle into the hand of the boy who was kneeling on the ground with confused eyes.
"Originally we didn't want to kill this woman, but we couldn't help but get excited when we thought of a new member joining the team."
"Currently, this dagger only has your fingerprints on it. Do you think that when the police see this scene when the crime occurs, who will they think is the murderer?"
Wu Xiao laughed, and someone in the crowd behind him silently recited the ancient and strict mantra. The breeze blew across his face, and Lin Zeyu only had a blink of an eye. Everyone, including the big man like a mountain of flesh, disappeared in front of him.
Just like a dream.
The only thing that didn't disappear was the cold body slumped on the mahogany chair.
"So, you have to do what I say. You only have three days. If you do well, I will make you stronger. If you do not do well, you will die."
The man's voice echoed in the air like a ghost, causing Lin Zeyu's originally soothing expression to tense up instantly.
