#249 - Chapter 249 Bloody Pupils
The strong man's gaze turned cold. "Something to let you sleep soundly."
As the words fell, the strong man raised his leg and kicked at the iron bunk.
Bang!
Li Chenqiu's pupils shrank, and he hastily took a step back, narrowly dodging the approaching iron bunk.
Before he could catch his breath, a gust of wind suddenly struck, and a fist rapidly magnified in Li Chenqiu's pupils.
At the critical moment, Li Chenqiu tilted his head, avoiding the fist by a hair's breadth.
"Not bad reaction!"
The strong man curled his lips, and the fist he swung instantly bent, his elbow slamming into Li Chenqiu's chest. The terrifying force instantly lifted Li Chenqiu's feet off the ground, and he arched his back, flying straight backwards.
Bang!
Dust billowed.
"Pfft!"
Li Chenqiu clutched his chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and leaned weakly against the concrete wall, looking at the strong man with a look of dread.
His strength was inferior to the strong man, and with his injuries not yet healed, he could not contend with the strong man in any aspect.
"If you had been obedient from the start, you wouldn't have been hurt."
The strong man took off his rubber cap, and his figure flashed, disappearing from the spot.
Li Chenqiu's scalp tightened, and he subconsciously leaned to the left, but he was still a step too slow.
The strong man's powerful arm pressed down on Li Chenqiu's shoulder, grabbed a syringe, and inserted it into his neck, pressing the plunger and injecting an unknown liquid.
Just as Li Chenqiu was about to resist, an irresistible feeling of drowsiness suddenly rushed to the top of his head, and multiple afterimages appeared before his eyes.
"This…"
Before Li Chenqiu could say anything, his head tilted and he fell unconscious.
The strong man pulled out the syringe, carried Li Chenqiu away from the room.
...
Shadowless lamps emitted a soft light, dispelling the surrounding darkness.
Li Chenqiu lay with his eyes closed on a rectangular iron plate with a silver sheen, his limbs locked in place by semicircular iron rings.
Zhu Yuan and a middle-aged man in a white coat stood on either side of the iron plate.
Zhu Yuan asked, "Yang Han, is it ready?"
The middle-aged man called Yang Han looked at the large screen directly in front of the iron plate.
On the screen, a 3D version of Li Chenqiu spread his arms and rotated continuously, next to a series of numbers and lines that made one's scalp tingle.
After watching for a while, Yang Han nodded and said, "No problem."
"Then let's begin!"
Zhu Yuan turned and walked out of the room, looking at Li Chenqiu through the glass. Zhu Le, who was standing beside him, stepped forward.
"Father, even if we don't inject him with the God-Attracting Fluid, we can still control him. Doing this..." Zhu Le hesitated, "Isn't it too wasteful?"
Zhu Yuan smiled and asked, "I ask you, why is Zhou Hai so devoted to us and never has second thoughts?"
Zhu Le tentatively asked, "Because we treat him well?"
Zhu Yuan shook his head. "No, it's because we can provide him with an unlimited supply of flesh and blood, allowing him to openly play the role of a God-Favored One without living a life of fear and anxiety.
If you want a person to completely submit, force, dependence, interests, and fear are all indispensable. Injecting Jiang Huaijin with the God-Attracting Fluid will breed dependence and interests. Do you understand now?"
Zhu Le respectfully nodded. "I am enlightened."
Inside the room, Yang Han walked to directly in front of Li Chenqiu's head with a syringe, wiped his brow with a cotton swab dipped in iodine, then brought his head closer and stuck the needle of the syringe into the center of his brow.
The dark blue liquid slowly injected, and Li Chenqiu's brow rapidly bulged, and a faint blue light appeared under the skin.
After doing everything, Yang Han pulled out the syringe and casually threw it into the trash can next to him, put his hands in his pockets, left the room, came to Zhu Yuan's side, and waited quietly.
A minute later, Li Chenqiu, who was lying on the iron plate, suddenly tightened his brow and began to tremble uncontrollably, as if he was having a nightmare.
Seeing this scene, Yang Han took out three pairs of earplugs from his pocket, put one pair on himself, and handed the remaining two pairs to Zhu Yuan and Zhu Le, reminding them, "It's going to be loud in a moment."
The two did not hesitate to put them on directly, obviously knowing what was about to happen.
Tick tock tick tock——
Silence continued, and finally, the time had come...
"Ah——"
Li Chenqiu, who was lying on the iron plate, suddenly widened his eyes and trembled uncontrollably. Beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.
Having just woken up, before he could examine his surroundings, a piercing pain squeezed into his still-unconscious brain, wantonly stirring his taut nerves.
The tingling sensation of tens of thousands of ants gnawing at his body made Li Chenqiu unable to resist the urge to curl up, but the semicircular iron rings tightly restricted his movements.
Li Chenqiu closed his eyes tightly, puffed out his mouth, and let out a long breath.
This breath seemed to exhale all the pain, Li Chenqiu's body no longer trembled, and his eyes gradually returned to normal.
"This is?"
Li Chenqiu looked around blankly.
Silver-white iron walls, smooth floors, clean glass, a high-resolution electronic screen, and nothing else.
Because the glass was one-way glass, Li Chenqiu did not see Zhu Yuan and the others.
Li Chenqiu muttered to himself, "Why does my body hurt so much? Could it be because of that syringe?"
Outside the room, the three were quietly watching Li Chenqiu.
Zhu Le looked at Yang Han with slight surprise. "Yang Han, where did you buy these earplugs? The sound insulation effect is so good that you can't hear any sound at all."
Yang Han rubbed his earplugs in confusion. "These earplugs are the ones we usually use. It's strange, why has the effect suddenly become stronger?"
Zhu Yuan, who was standing in the center, looked dark and said speechlessly, "The effect is indeed good, the human voice is clear and without impurities."
As he said that, Zhu Yuan took off his earplugs.
Zhu Le and Yang Han looked at each other, instantly reacted, and took off their earplugs.
The scene was abnormally quiet.
"This..." Yang Han's pupils trembled, and he looked at Li Chenqiu in disbelief. "How could this be?"
Zhu Yuan looked at Yang Han with a gloomy expression. "It's one thing to not say a word, but your expression is so normal. Are you sure you injected it successfully?"
Yang Han said uncertainly, "Successfully... right?"
"You..."
Zhu Yuan was about to get angry, but Zhu Le grabbed his arm. "Father, look at that kid's arm."
Zhu Yuan suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at Li Chenqiu's arm.
There, a hideous bloodstain was slowly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Zhu Yuan frowned in surprise. "This... succeeded?"
Inside the room, Li Chenqiu clearly felt that the pain coming from all parts of his body receded like a tide, and a familiar feeling spread throughout his limbs and bones.
"This is... a Resurgent?"
A glimmer of light flashed in Li Chenqiu's eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
He has regained his identity as a Resurgent?!
Before Li Chenqiu could recover from his joy, a nearly scorching pain came from the center of his brow, and then split into two paths, rushing towards the position of his eyes.
The next second, Li Chenqiu's pupils suddenly dilated, and a speck of scarlet appeared in the very center of his eyeballs, spreading around until it completely devoured the dark black eyeballs...
