“It’s Fang Zhengping!”
Ji Yuan said truthfully.
Fang Xin froze, “My dad injected you with the serum?”
Bai Mao Zai had told Fang Xin before that they hadn’t found Fang Zhengping’s secret lab or any serums.
“When?”
“A long, long time ago!”
Fang Xin stared at Ji Yuan, “Are you a damn toothpaste? Only say something when I squeeze it out of you? Just say what you know, do I have to ask?”
Ji Yuan organized her thoughts and rephrased, “Your father has a secret lab. The reason it hasn’t been discovered is actually very simple: that secret lab is inside a high-level spatial pendant, which your father carried with him at all times.”
“After your father died, the person who killed him obtained the spatial pendant.”
“However, your father seemed to have anticipated his unexpected demise, so before anything happened to him, he destroyed all the core data for manufacturing that serum. And your father must have secretly modified his genetic samples in the gene bank. This is also the main reason why the person who killed your father has made no progress in replicating the serum.”
“I am not the only experimental subject who was injected with the serum. As far as I know, there are at least three others.”
After a moment of thought, Fang Xin asked, “Then how were you besieged by the Church earlier?”
“The pervert who was guarding me got his fix, and I escaped while he was role-playing with his female secretary!”
“After I got out, I ran into a few Church members bullying people, so I killed all of them, and then the Church started hunting me. You know the rest.”
Fang Xin was silent for a moment. This differed slightly from his initial guess; he had previously suspected that the Church was using this fake King of Slaughter as bait.
After a moment of thought, “Were the people who took you away from Nili Hall?”
Ji Yuan thought for a moment, “No! But they are indeed connected to Nili Hall! Because I personally saw their top leader playing with the Nili Hall Master. Halfway through, the Nili Hall Master transformed from a beautiful woman into an Old Lady, leaving an indelible memory. I remember it very clearly.”
Fang Xin scratched the side of his face, “Then what about that spatial pendant? Who has it now?”
Ji Yuan said, “Before your father died, he tried his best to destroy that spatial pendant, so the spatial pendant developed cracks and completely broke down not long after. The person who obtained the spatial pendant then transferred everything inside before the space within the spatial pendant completely shattered!”
“Do you know what organization those people belong to?”
“That I don’t know!”
At this point, Ji Yuan seemed to recall something, “But I remember they called their highest-ranking individual ‘Commander,’ and every so often, they would hold some kind of ceremony to worship a certain deity.”
Ji Yuan told Fang Xin everything she knew.
Fang Xin sorted through the whole matter, “So, the people who killed my parents are an organization connected to Nili Hall. Do they still have the serum?”
“No! Your father basically used the serum on experimental subjects every time he created it. He never kept any extra serum to avoid unnecessary trouble.”
Fang Xin digested the information he got from Ji Yuan, then remembered something else, “By the way, what deity was that Dharma Idol you summoned earlier?”
Ji Yuan thought for a moment, “I don’t know. That’s the part outside of the ninety percent I just mentioned to Ma Fuxiao. Without that, the replicated serum can only allow the recipient to reach a Level 12 combat power. But if you want to know, you can go ask your father. Too bad he’s dead. You’re an orphan now, so you can’t ask him.”
Upon hearing this, Fang Xin immediately rushed into the Asura Tower and kicked Ji Yuan hard twice, “Damn it! Do you think you’re funny?”
After a few more kicks, Fang Xin changed the subject, “How did you find Ma Fuxiao?”
“Your father greatly admired Ma Fuxiao and praised that bookworm more than once. Even after the bookworm was forced to drop out, your father continued to support him. Once, your father called him from his secret lab and asked for his address, so I knew he lived here.”

Fang Xin felt relieved.
Coming out of the Asura Tower, Fang Xin’s gaze fell back on Ma Fuxiao.
Ma Fuxiao was gradually waking up now, searching for his glasses.
“Ma Fuxiao, now that I have Ji Yuan and myself, I can provide you with a laboratory. Can you replicate ninety percent of the serum?”
“What did you say? I can’t hear you without my glasses!” Ma Fuxiao fumbled around on the ground with both hands.
Fang Xin, annoyed, found the glasses and handed them over.
Ma Fuxiao wiped his glasses with his sleeve, then put them on, “What did you just say?”
Fang Xin repeated what he had said.
Ma Fuxiao nodded heavily upon hearing this, “Now that I have Ji Yuan, a recipient of the serum, as long as you give me some time, I can definitely replicate over ninety percent! If I can resonate with Mr. Fang’s inspiration at a certain point, replicating one hundred percent isn’t impossible!”
Fang Xin’s eyes lit up when he heard this.
No matter the era, talent is the most important resource; a brilliant scientist can be worth several divisions.
“Then pack your things now. I’ll send someone to pick you up and move you to a different location!”
“Okay!”
Fang Xin watched the excitedly busy Ma Fuxiao.
Ma Fuxiao seemed to sense something, turned to look at Fang Xin, and scratched his messy hair, “Are you suspecting me of having ulterior motives?”
“Not at all. I can sense that you have no ill intentions. I am curious, though, why are you so interested in researching this serum?”
Ma Fuxiao was silent for a long time, “I think you must have heard that I was expelled from school because my mother’s death caused me a great shock, and I became mentally ill, right?”
“There is such a saying!”
Ma Fuxiao lowered his head, “My mother didn’t die a natural death. When I was studying, a few rich brats bullied a Little Girl. My mother tried her best to help, and they threw my mother into a septic tank and drowned her alive. Later, that Little Girl couldn’t bear the bullying and jumped to her death. But this matter was suppressed, and those brats still strutted around, bullying others.”
“When I went to report them, they claimed my mother was mentally impaired and fell into the septic tank herself, and they also called me mentally ill. Those people were acquitted! I, however, was locked up in a mental hospital! It was Mr. Fang who used his connections to get me out!”
“Mr. Fang was a very idealistic person. He had seen too much injustice and too much of humanity’s dark side. He wanted to create gods who set the rules, to smash through this filthy world, and build a world of great harmony.”
“This is also my ideal. I am willing to fight for this ideal my entire life, until death!”
“You are Mr. Fang’s son, I trust you!”
Fang Xin smiled slightly at Ma Fuxiao.
Their philosophies aligned perfectly.
He called Huang Dabao, asking him to bring people to pick up Ma Fuxiao, and Fang Xin’s clone was responsible for protecting Ma Fuxiao’s safety at all times.
When Ma Fuxiao left, he also took a large bowl of Ji Yuan’s fresh blood and a small piece of her tentacle.
He originally wanted to use a basin, but seeing Ji Yuan’s emaciated state, he held back.
After seeing Ma Fuxiao off, Fang Xin went to complete his mission.
This mission was relatively simple for Fang Xin.
It was a Level 6 peak combat power anomaly. According to the mission brief, this bastard was very good at ‘being human’.
Literally.
He had already eaten over a hundred people, one after another.
Every person was meticulously cooked by him.
And this bastard often shared the delicacies he made with others.
Fang Xin opened his zhilian device, searching for the target’s whereabouts.
He finally located the target in a daily rental room.
This bastard was still ‘being human’.
There were many innocent people in this area.
Fang Xin planned to go in quietly and kill him with one blow, to prevent him from taking innocent people hostage.
But unexpectedly, just before Fang Xin arrived.
A figure got there first. It was a girl with pink pigtails wearing a leather suit. She kicked open the door and shouted inside.
“Don’t move! You pervert! I finally caught you!”
The person inside showed no signs of tension, elegantly and calmly turning to glance at the doorway, then continued ‘being human’.
Fang Xin immediately flickered to the window, preventing the target from escaping through it, and glanced at the girl with pigtails; she was a Level 6 mid-stage combat power.
The girl with pigtails was stunned when she saw Fang Xin suddenly appear.
Fang Xin showed his ID, “Ninth Division on official business, all bystanders, step back!”
The pervert ‘being human’ paused his actions for the first time, a fierce glint in his eyes.
The girl with pigtails raised an eyebrow, “Hey! Ninth Division has to follow first-come, first-served! I found this pervert first!”
As she spoke, the girl with pigtails reached for her waist, pulled out a pink gun, and fired a shot at the pervert ‘being human’.
Bang!
The man tilted his head, dodging the bullet. As the girl with pigtails was about to fire again, the man left only an afterimage and appeared behind her.
Seeing this, the girl with pigtails snorted, “I knew you were Level 6 peak combat power! I’ve been on guard against you!”
But unexpectedly, the man’s silver-bladed short knife was pressed against the girl with pigtails’ neck, “Who told you I’m Level 6 peak? I’ve reached Level 7 combat power in recent days! Little sister, what a wonderful scent, firm flesh, and the delicate fragrance of a virgin. I can make at least twelve dishes with you!”
The girl with pigtails immediately turned pale, her body stiff.
The man looked at Fang Xin at the window, “Friend from the Ninth Division, would you like to sit down and have a taste together?”
Fang Xin looked at the girl with pigtails, “I don’t eat her brain. I’m afraid it’ll lower my IQ!”
The man immediately burst out laughing, “Friend, great minds think alike. I don’t eat that kind of person’s brain either.”
The girl with pigtails pouted in anger, but couldn’t retort.
The man smiled at Fang Xin again, “Friend, I don’t recommend you move. If I recall correctly, during Ninth Division missions, if other people are harmed, there are no points, right?”
Fang Xin nodded at the man, then suddenly brought out the Asura Tower, and the room’s light dimmed.
When the light returned, Fang Xin had already slammed the man’s head into the wall, blood splattering a crimson pattern on it.
He scanned it with the zhilian device according to procedure.
“Damn it! You scared the hell out of me!” The girl with pigtails patted her chest.
Fang Xin glanced at her.
The girl with pigtails immediately raised both hands, “You don’t have to say it, I’m an idiot! I admit it!”
Fang Xin chuckled, surprised she had such clear self-awareness.
The girl with pigtails clasped her hands together, “But still, thank you! I owe you today! If it weren’t for you, I might have become a few dishes on his table!”
Fang Xin ignored her, busy with the post-mission procedures.
The girl with pigtails leaned in, “Hey! Handsome little brother, what’s your name?”
“No comment!”
“Oh, come on, don’t be so cold, big brother. Do you know who I am?”
“No, and I don’t want to know!”
The girl with pigtails quickly said, “Hey, hey, hey! Little brother, little brother, even though what I did today was really stupid, you should at least tell me your name. I never like owing people favors.”
“To be honest with you, Old Master Ye, the one behind your Ninth Division, he and my great-grandfather are good friends. I even call him great-grandfather.”
“Tell me your name, and every New Year, I go with my great-grandfather to visit Old Master Ye. When I go this year, I can put in a good word for you in front of him.”
