Suo E stared intently at Berses, the brilliant light in the distance reflecting on his chiseled face, his eyes gleaming with a beast-like ferocity.
Watching this scene, Miss Rabbit was somewhat lost in thought, a warmth quietly rising in her heart, a warmth she was eager to suppress.
Just as Miss Rabbit was lost in thought, Suo E suddenly turned his head, his gaze unintentionally meeting hers.
"This guy is different from Gou Wen. Mr. Gou Wen's experimental subjects at least have quite a few surviving cases, but among those handled by him, there is only one survivor so far."
"If you fall into his hands, there is almost no possibility of survival."
"..."
Miss Rabbit parted her lips, looking at Suo E's profile, her eyes trembling slightly.
She felt something quietly emerging in her heart, surging upwards, and if she wasn't careful, she might say something remarkable. freēwebnovel.com
"Do you want me to live that much?" she asked.
"Yes, that's right." Suo E nodded, his face expressionless, "You can't die before the final experiment is completed, otherwise I can't report back to the Elder Council."
Miss Rabbit's mouth twitched, and she fell silent.
Damn! Why don't I ever learn?
Seeing this, Berses curled his lips, smiling sarcastically, "Heh, a fool without a soul, an experimental subject without freedom..."
These two are truly a perfect match!
If they were sent to the Black Sun Brothers Technology Association, it would greatly accelerate their research progress.
He thought to himself, secretly glancing at Miss Rabbit, and pursed his lips with waning interest.
Miss Rabbit was indeed a rare experimental subject, but compared to what he was currently researching, she was merely dispensable.

Entering the Taoyuanli Scenic Area from the main entrance, and ascending a staircase approximately fifty meters long, one can see a fan-shaped viewing platform with a diameter of °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° about one hundred meters.
This largest viewing platform in the scenic area is built against the mountain, offering a wide view on three sides. Standing on the viewing platform and looking out, the winter scenery of the Taoyuan Gorge, stretching over one hundred kilometers, is fully visible.
In a corner of the viewing platform, there is a security hut. The light is on inside the security hut, and the middle-aged man on duty, as usual, is drinking Taoyuan's special peach blossom wine to warm himself, accompanied by crispy peanuts.
"Bang—!" freēwēbnovel.com
Suddenly, a sound like muffled thunder came from the depths of the gorge.
Inside the security hut, the slightly tipsy middle-aged man looked at the ripples spreading in the wine cup on the table, was stunned for a moment, and rubbed his eyes.
"Bang—!"
Another muffled sound followed, as if someone was blasting rocks in the depths of the gorge.
The security hut shook violently along with the great tremor of the earth.
Dust mixed with wood chips fluttered down from the roof.
Seeing the peach blossom wine spill out of the cup and onto the table, the middle-aged man on duty frowned, got up, put on his overcoat and hat, picked up the flashlight from the table, and left the hut.
"Creak—!"
The slight sound of the door hinges turning was like a sob. The biting cold wind, at the moment the door opened, wrapped in fine snowflakes, rushed towards him.
The middle-aged man stood in front of the hut door, shining his flashlight outwards.
In the deep winter midnight, all was silent, and the empty viewing platform was vast and desolate.
"Strange... Did I hear wrong?" The middle-aged man muttered to himself, looking in the direction of the Taoyuan Gorge, "No, no, I can't drink this wine anymore."
As he was speaking, the loud noise came again. The rocks, lifted high into the air, rubbed and collided, emitting a high-pitched roar.
"Bang—!"
In an instant, a wave of air surged from the depths of the gorge, stirring up a storm, carrying snowflakes, making it difficult for people to stand firm.
Along with the loud noise and the storm, the top of the distant mountain, whose outline was vaguely visible under the cover of night, suddenly burst out with a golden light.
Something grew out of that mountain, like a giant tree. The frenzied light adorned the twisted trunk, and the dazzling golden light was like thousands of flowers blooming on the trunk.
Immediately after, a strong light suddenly lit up in the shattered mountain body.
That point of strong light rapidly expanded, soared, instantly tore through the night sky, and erupted with light and heat, as if a miniature sun was rising.
The middle-aged man on duty sobered up. He fell to the ground, staring blankly at the magnificent scene in the depths of the gorge, filled with a sense of destruction. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He took out his walkie-talkie from his overcoat and called out tremblingly.
"Hello, hello, is this the monitoring center? This is Taoyuanli Scenic Area Viewing Platform No. 1. I, I saw..."
The sound of dense footsteps came from the dense forest on the side of the viewing platform, and the middle-aged man's voice came to an abrupt halt.
He looked in the direction from which the footsteps came, and saw strange and distorted black shadows in the dense forest, accompanied by bursts of eerie crying sounds. Something was passing through the dense forest and quickly approaching this way.
"Who, who is there? Get out!" the middle-aged man shouted, and then he saw a child walk out of the forest.
It was a child less than one meter tall, wearing a bright red dress that seemed to be dripping with blood, with his back facing the security hut, slowly approaching.
There was no sound of footsteps, nor did he leave footprints on the snow, as if he was floating.
The middle-aged man, mustering his courage, raised his flashlight and shone the light on the child's body.
However, the moment the light fell on the child's body, the child's figure suddenly disappeared from his sight as if it had evaporated into thin air, and the surroundings instantly fell into a deathly silence.
Just as he couldn't help but blink, a dizzying, almost maddening shriek sounded, and a rotten, swollen face with empty features suddenly appeared in front of him.
Face to face, nose to nose, a mouth full of sharp teeth slowly opened with a strange arc, and a strong smell of decay and fishiness surged over him.
"Pfft—!"
The middle-aged man saw the scene before his eyes spin around, and then his head hit the ground hard, and his consciousness gradually dissipated.
In a trance, he saw a child gnawing on his body. Behind the distant mountain forest, black shadows, like a herd of beasts fleeing a Calamity, were rushing towards him...

Three kilometers away from the Fusang Divine Tree, a mountain peak soared into the clouds, its cliffs as steep as if they had been carved by a knife, like a sharp sword.
On the mountain top, a tall woman wearing a pure black cheongsam stood proudly with her arms crossed, facing the raging and scorching air waves. Her eyes, which should have been as gentle as a spring breeze, were now as calm as ancient jade that had been preserved for a thousand years.
Relying on her Power, which was closely related to the Fusang Divine Tree, Ju Meng could feel the anomaly happening on the Fusang Divine Tree more clearly than anyone else.
"Cuan Yang" was reviving from death.
She gazed at the giant tree of flesh and blood that pierced the sky in the distance with a solemn expression. Her skirt and dark green long hair fluttered in the strong wind like a battle flag.
After the storm subsided, she slowly turned around and looked at Turtle Elder behind her and Shang Nanxing who was helping him with his injuries, and said calmly, "Turtle Elder, has everyone arrived at their respective positions as I instructed?"
"Reporting, uh..." Turtle Elder struggled to get up, gritting his teeth, "Reporting to the East Owner, everything is ready. We guarantee that none of those Cranes will escape to Africa, and none of the petty people who break in from outside will get in."
Hearing this, Ju Meng nodded slightly. In her plan this time, what she was most worried about was not any accidents or sudden situations, nor the failure of her Power change and her death.
What she was most worried about was that the turmoil in Taoyuan would affect the innocent lives within the eight hundred li radius under her command.
After all, whether it was Cuan Yang's dependents or the Psychic and urban legend who gathered upon hearing the news, they were all terrifying existences that were difficult for beings without Spiritual Energy to resist.
Suddenly, another wave of scorching Spiritual Energy came, and Ju Meng's fair face, as if it had been burned, showed mottled burn marks.
Pain struck, she bit her silver teeth, took a deep breath, and slowly closed her eyes.
In the darkness, countless numb, lifeless chanting sounds echoed in her ears.
"There is a fuso in Tanggu, the tree is ten thousand zhang high, one day arrives, one day departs... There is a fuso in Tanggu..."
Like the murmur of the dead.
That was a description directly pointing to the Golden Crow rising from the Fusang Divine Tree. It was the sorrowful prayers, desperate shouts, and unwilling whispers of countless dependents of Cuan Yang, overlapping together, pulling Ju Meng's consciousness, inch by inch, pulling her towards the abyss.
This was what she had endured and suppressed for thousands of years - Spiritual Energy with the characteristics of a corrupted deity.
Although the people of Taoyuan were not as extreme and distorted as the followers of the Great Serpent God, they occasionally had faint resentment, excessive worship, and unfounded fantasies towards the deity they believed in...
These faint emotions, accumulated over thousands of years, had already reached a terrifying level.
Cuan Yang, who had never truly cherished the people of Taoyuan since her birth, abandoned her Power and left after feeling this negative power born from faith.
However, Ju Meng, as her companion deity, could not be as carefree as her and watch the people of Taoyuan fall into the abyss of losing their faith again.
She opened her eyes from a state of chaos and saw them, and she fell in love with them.
Thus, over the long years, Ju Meng alone bore the twisted and corrupted power that should have been borne by two deities.
Today, that corrupted power, under some unknown inducement, usurped Cuan Yang's Power, gave birth to life, and was about to awaken.
...
Under the guidance of Ju Meng's consciousness, the earth vein energy, which even ordinary spiritual senses could not easily capture, rose from the vast land like countless golden threads, streaked across the sky, interwoven into a brilliant and magnificent scroll in the sky, and merged into her delicate body.
It was as if a golden cape covering the sky was spread out behind her.
As the earth vein energy continuously merged into her body, her Spiritual Energy fluctuations surged, temporarily suppressing her injuries and the surging corrupted power within her body, and the burn marks on her skin also faded instantly.
Then...
She slowly opened her eyes and looked forward, as if looking into the depths of Taoyuan, or even further away.
"Turtle Elder, look, the sun has risen! It really chose a bad time." she said lightly.
"Yes, East Owner." Turtle Elder responded softly.
"Thus, let it fall...
At least before the city barrier is activated, it has to stay there obediently. Ju Meng added a sentence in her heart.
Thinking, Ju Meng's gaze gradually turned cold, and her tone was calm, "Turtle Elder, notify everyone, one minute later, everyone will follow me and kill in. Along the way, if you see anyone who is not a citizen of Taoyuan..."
Halfway through her sentence, she paused for a moment, picked up her pipe and took a light puff, and while slowly exhaling a smoke ring, she looked forward through the hazy smoke with her eyes, and said faintly, "Leave no one alive!"
