Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

"What’s that?"

Xu Xingguang’s eyes were filled with murderous intent, and she said coldly, "They want to turn people into beasts."

Huo Wen’an abruptly widened his eyes. "What!"

"Didn’t you notice? No matter what species the beasts here are, they all share common human body characteristics. My idea is completely opposite to yours; I think they are studying human genes, trying to transform humans into beasts. And the experimental samples we see are all failures."

Hearing this, Huo Wen’an was shocked to his core.

"What kind of perverts are they?"

"I don’t know." Shaking her head, Xu Xingguang said uneasily, "I’m now wondering who left this experimental square here. Was it my grandfather or someone else?"

Just the thought that her grandfather might be involved behind this experimental plan made Xu Xingguang feel absurd.

"Brother A Zui, do you think my grandpa, is he really dead?"

This world hides a gigantic conspiracy.

The closer one gets to that conspiracy, the more ridiculous the truth revealed.

Originally, Huo Wen’an thought Xu Xingguang’s grandfather was old and might have already passed away. But now, all the clues point to her grandfather. Would someone so important easily die in a fishing ditch?

"Xingguang." Huo Wen’an made a new decision, he said, "Let’s go back to the forest where your grandfather relocated. Maybe there are clues hidden there."

"That’s quite far." Xu Xingguang tells him, "Starting from Cangshan Town, it’ll probably take a whole day by car. It’s a barren mountain, with no concrete roads. Back then, my mother took me more than four hours to walk the mountain path to reach my grandfather’s home."

"Plus, that place has no internet, I can’t even go online." Because it was so boring, I settled down to create "Guests on the Deserted Island."

"It’s okay, let’s go check it out." There might be unexpected gains.

"Are you up for it?" It’s a mountain path and takes hours to climb. Xu Xingguang worries about Huo Wen’an’s physical condition.

Huo Wen’an said, "It’s not a big problem, let’s climb slowly."

"Alright, we’ll go to my grandfather’s place tomorrow. Once this is done, I should go back to Capital City." Hua Junqiao’s investigation is wrapping up, so she has to go back to oversee the progress at Research Institute No. 23.

"Alright."

"This is just an abandoned experimental site, we can’t find any more clues here. Let’s go."

The two returned the way they came, passing through the office area. Xu Xingguang let Eagle Sparrow smash open all the locked offices.

But as Xu Xingguang said, this was an abandoned lab, and all the information in the data bank had been cleared out.

Not even a sheet of paper was found.

"All the documents were taken away, cleaned thoroughly; they withdrew themselves." Looking back at the experimental square behind them, Xu Xingguang sighed, "They were all failed products, lost their value, and were left here to die."

Huo Wen’an gazed at the gloomy square behind him, as if he could feel their desperate cries before death.

He closed his eyes and felt powerless.

All are individuals; why is the Divine Martial Realm exalted as gods, while they can only be used as test subjects, and become worthless trash?

"Xingguang." Suddenly, Huo Wen’an said, "I want to go to the Divine Martial Realm."

"For what?"

Huo Wen’an said, "To seek justice."

"Justice?" Xu Xingguang seemed to hear a joke, she asked Huo Wen’an in return, "You were bred like a Combat Doll for three years; do you think from their perspective, people like us ’trash’, are qualified to demand justice?"

Huo Wen’an furrowed his brow deeply, feeling as if a gigantic stone was weighing down his heart.

Xu Xingguang suddenly took off her gas mask, inhaling the scent of death and despair in the air, she said, "I’m a Beast Tamer, my sensing power is stronger than yours, Huo Wen’an, do you know what I’m feeling right now?"

Huo Wen’an didn’t speak, just looked at her.

"It’s hatred!" Xu Xingguang stared at the darkness behind her, her eyes slightly red as she sighed, choking, "I hear countless resentful spirits pleading to me for help, asking me to avenge them."

"We must go to the Divine Martial Realm, but not to demand justice." Xu Xingguang looked up, her eyes steadfastly meeting Huo Wen’an’s, she said, "We’ll go flatten it!"

Huo Wen’an’s eyes brightened, every time he looked at Xu Xingguang, he always felt she was like a star, shining brightly.
