Chapter 172 Back to the World 1: The Boy Underground
Yan Jincheng looked at the young man in the cabin expressionlessly, without a trace of pity in his eyes. He reached out and tightly grasped one end of the chain connecting the young man to his body. Then, with a sudden tug, he dragged the young man out of the cabin as if he were a worthless object!
At this moment, Yan Jincheng was a completely different person from the polite and gentle person he usually appeared to be. He now exuded a chilling aura of violence, like an enraged beast, ready to unleash astonishing power and fury at any moment.
The young man slowly opened his eyes, his eyes full of disdain, as if the person in front of him was not worthy of his attention at all.
Yan Jincheng, standing nearby, was instantly enraged upon seeing this provocative gaze. Without a second thought, he raised his hand and slapped the young man fiercely. With a crisp "slap," a bright red palm print appeared on the young man's fair cheek.
"Are you worthy enough to look at me like that?" Yan Jincheng roared, and at the same time stretched out a hand to grab the boy's hair tightly, pulling it back hard, forcing the boy to raise his head and look directly at him.
At this moment, Yan Jincheng's face was ferocious. He stared at the young man fiercely and said, "Yan Chu, don't forget, in my eyes, you are nothing more than a little white mouse at the mercy of others, a useless tool!"
Yet, faced with such humiliation, the young man simply smiled, his lips curled upward as he let out a contemptuous "Huh." Then, he spoke slowly, "What a rage of impotence..."
Hearing this, Yan Jincheng was even more furious. He suddenly raised his foot and kicked the boy in the abdomen with all his strength. The boy groaned and fell backwards involuntarily, but he quickly stood up again. Although his face had turned pale, his eyes still shone with an unyielding light.
"Hmph! You are nothing but an external brain carefully built for me by my father. What's so great about that? Your existence is completely dependent on me. If you want your future days to be a little bit better, then just be a poor dog in the water for me!" Yan Jincheng said viciously with disdain and contempt on his face.
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stretched out his hand and picked up Yan Chu as easily as a chicken. Then he swung his arm and mercilessly swung him into the huge water tank filled with unknown liquid.
With a loud "plop," Yan Chu instantly fell into the water tank. Instantly, his once-fair skin turned a brilliant crimson red, as if engulfed by blazing flames. However, this wasn't the end of it. At this moment, Yan Jincheng, who had been standing by and watching coldly, went even further. He picked up a conductive wire and, without hesitation, dropped it into the water tank.
The electric current passed through the unknown liquid in the water tank and instantly spread throughout Yan Chu's body, causing him to tremble violently and involuntarily. But even so, an increasingly ironic smile appeared on the young man's handsome face.
You have to know that Yan Chu had been living in an environment filled with various experimental fluids since he was a child. He had long been accustomed to this kind of torture and pain that ordinary people could hardly endure. So no matter how Yan Jincheng made things difficult for him or bullied him, it could not really affect him.
As for skin burns, they can be healed by soaking them in the repair fluid. Yan Jincheng's favorite thing is to destroy his appearance again and again, and then throw him back into the repair fluid to soak again and again, over and over again. I really don't know if he is bored.
Chao Zhuyi's eyes widened as he stared intently at Yan Jincheng's torture of Yan Chu. The scene was simply outrageous! Yan Jincheng was like a madman, using all sorts of tricks to tease Yan Chu. Time passed minute by minute, and two hours passed, but Yan Jincheng showed no intention of stopping, as if he wanted to pour all his malice on Yan Chu.
Chao Zhuyi just watched helplessly, completely stunned. Even after Yan Jincheng finally left satisfied, she still couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
At this moment, Yan Chu lay silently in the repair cabin, like a lifeless doll. After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes, his eyes empty and cold, shooting straight in the direction of Chao Zhuyi and Xiao Jinlong.
Then, in an emotionless voice, he said, "I've blacked out the surveillance. Come out."
Upon hearing this, the little golden dragon immediately lifted its invisibility, and Chao Zhuyi also appeared in an instant. She walked towards the scarred young man with some trepidation. Looking at the heavy chains on him, she couldn't help but feel pity for him, so she couldn't help but ask, "How can I help you?"
However, Yan Chu just glanced at her coldly and said in a mocking tone: "Can you blow up this damn place?"
Chao Zhuyi was suddenly speechless. She knew very well that she did not have such ability, so she could only shake her head helplessly.
Seeing this, Yan Chu seemed to have anticipated her answer and ignored her. Instead, he turned to look at the little golden dragon beside him and ordered, "Alright, get me out of here quickly. With your skills, dealing with these broken chains should be easy."
The little golden dragon nodded obediently upon hearing this, then quickly stepped forward and opened the hatch of the repair cabin. Then, it opened its mouth and suddenly spewed out a ball of blazing fire. The extremely strong chains quickly melted under the high temperature, turning into a pool of molten iron.
After being freed, Yan Chu's legs were already numb from being restrained for so long that he almost stumbled and fell to the ground. However, he endured the discomfort and tried to steady himself, trying to regain the feeling of standing.
Yan Chu stared calmly at the little golden dragon in front of him, his bright eyes narrowed slightly, and then he gently pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a faint smile: "Well, it's still somewhat useful."
This smile was like the warm spring sunshine, making the whole room seem a little brighter.
When the little golden dragon heard this, it stretched out its little claws and scratched its head, with a somewhat naive look on its face, it said: "We dragons have always been grateful for what we have received! Since you sent me away from here, I will naturally let you go." Its round eyes sparkled with sincerity and gratitude.
Upon hearing this, Yan Chu smacked his lips softly, letting out a soft "tsk," and looked at Little Golden Dragon with a half-smile, saying, "Little Dragon, I've already seen you off, why don't you see me off?"
After hearing this, the little golden dragon lowered its head in embarrassment. It first glanced at Yan Chu secretly, then quickly turned to look at Chao Zhuyi on the side, and stammered, "Well... I... my ability is limited. I can only make one person invisible at a time." After saying that, it shrank its neck slightly apologetically.
When Yan Chu heard this, he lowered his head indifferently, glanced at Chao Zhuyi lightly, and then said, "I don't need to be invisible." Before he finished speaking, his figure flashed and instantly turned into a small and exquisite figurine.
At this moment, Yan Chu stood steadily on the experimental table in his figurine form, looking up at Chao Zhuyi, and said in a relaxed tone: "Put me in your pocket."
Chao Zhuyi looked at Yan Chu who suddenly became smaller in front of him, and was stunned for a moment. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and look at him speechlessly.
Finally, Chao Zhuyi reached out and carefully put Yan Chu into her pocket. Luckily, she happened to be wearing a coat with pockets when she went out today, otherwise she really wouldn't know what to do with this guy who had suddenly shrunk to the size of a figurine.
Along the way, without any obstacles or interference, the man, the fish, and the dragon successfully walked out of the mysterious and technologically advanced laboratory. When they reached a corner that was out of reach of the surveillance cameras, Yan Chu's figure changed in the blink of an eye.
He had originally been in the form of a figurine, but in the blink of an eye, he had returned to his original form. This sudden change shocked Chao Zhuyi, who was standing by. Her eyes widened in disbelief, and she wondered to herself: How could this person change his form so arbitrarily?
At this time, the little golden dragon who had been following them also asked in confusion: "Aren't you going with us?"
Yan Chu just responded coldly: "That's not necessary."
As soon as he finished speaking, something unexpected happened again. A massive wormhole suddenly appeared out of nowhere on the wall behind Yan Chu. This wormhole emitted an eerie light, as if connecting to another unknown world.
