Chapter 214: A Terrifying Experiment

After Zhang Lisheng dislocated all of the bones in his body, other than twitching his muscles, there was nothing else Iron Chain could do.
Only then did Zhang Lisheng smile with satisfaction before walking up to the table in the glass room that was stacked with experimental utensils. He picked out a thick and large test tube before humiliatingly sticking it up into Iron Chain’s anus.
“I’m sorry! I’m not humiliating you, but I’m just afraid you’ll sh*t on my experimental platform for being unable to control your muscles due to a greater pain you will suffer later.” Zhang Lisheng explained while looking for a blowtorch to burn Iron Chain’s penis, which its opening was cauterized into closing in an instant. “Same goes to this as well.”
“Oh my God! Oh my God! My God… My God, please open your eyes! Please open your e-eyes…” Gas, who was known for his ruthlessness, howled in a low voice with his mind on the brink of collapsing. He couldn’t take the mental torture of it all when he saw the young man torturing his companion inhumanely with a calm expression with such cruel methods. It was completely beyond his imagination.
He suddenly turned around to run to the door of the glass room, slamming and shaking the door with all his might. Unfortunately, his efforts remained futile.
Zhang Lisheng ignored Gas’ futile struggle and started using a thick syringe filled with a blue reagent to inject it into Iron Chain’s venous artery.
Very soon, he injected four big syringes that amounted to two thousand milliliters of reagents into Iron Chain’s body.
The ‘living specimen’ on the platform began to tremble sharply. He hit his head, supported merely by his neck muscles, on the hard metal platform again and again.
Looking at the eyeballs on Iron Chain’s face that had completely turned bloodshot due to intense pain, and even bulged out due to the blood swelling, Zhang Lisheng commented, “Looks like your physical fitness is much better than I thought. There’s really full of surprises tonight.” Suddenly, he struck a punch at his ‘living specimen’s throat.
Being deprived of his ability to breathe, Iron Chain knew he would die soon. He began to let out a smile as he realized he was finally free. He grinned as though he felt very happy for being able to obtain his death easily from the hand of this ‘Devil’!
However, right now, he, whose state of mind had begun to blur, suddenly heard a cold voice ringing in his ears. “Mr. Delivery Man, don’t be too happy yet. Death may not be the end for you.”
At that instant, Iron Chain, who was once again gripped with extreme fear, forever lost his life.
By the time Iron Chain lost his life, Zhang Lisheng, who stood beside the experimental platform and meticulously observed his specimen, did not delay any time and immediately cast the Corpse Puppet Refining Method through his thoughts.
At that instant, the wizard power contained in the young man’s flesh and blood slowly whirled, drawing the remaining life force around the corpse that had just passed away on the experimental platform to produce a mysterious resonation.
At this moment, Iron Chain’s impressive physical fitness and abundant vitality began to reveal itself to Zhang Lisheng. Even though he was already dead, there was still blobs of unknown vitality floating out of his body before surging into Zhang Lisheng’s body.
The instant the foreign vitality entered his body, Zhang Lisheng’s skin began to emit an innumerable faint black smog that gradually rushed up to the space between his brows before entering his seven orifices then spouting out from his mouth and nose again.
A few seconds later, the black smog tore the air apart and made a strange noise of “psst szh…” before wrapping around the burly body lying flat on the test platform.
After the black smog scorched, blisters that were filled with blood and turbid black spots began to appear on the corpse’s ruddy skin and its limbs twitched and trembled violently not long after.
As they trembled, the corpse that was filled with innumerable blisters shook horrifyingly. The blood in its body seemed to be strongly corrosive as it continued to tumble and set off ear-piercing “tshhh tshh…” sounds while giving off a stench-filled smoke. However, it was unable to scorch through the transparent light skin of the blisters.
By this time, the experiment had reached the most critical moment. Upon seeing that everything was almost the same as the best state he had expected, a delightful smile appeared on Zhang Lisheng’s face. All of a sudden, he stopped the circulating the wizard power in his flesh and blood.
The instant the wizard power stopped, the black smog entangling the corpse lost its source and slowly dispersed. The corpse that was wiggling continuously on the experimental platform turned stiff and no longer moved without the catalyzing from the black smog.
At this moment, Zhang Lisheng began to urge the wizard power in his body to move again. His nose and mouth continued to spurt out faint black smog and shrouded the body, making it shake violently once again.
Just like this, according to a strange rhythm, the young man continued to cast his witchcraft method. Gradually, when he stopped the surging of the wizard power in his body, the corpse in front did not lose its movement right away.
After about six to seven minutes, the witchcraft method was completely cast. By the time Zhang Lisheng’s skin emitted the last gust of black smog that was blown into Iron Chain’s corpse, the blisters rising one after another on the corpse slowly calmed down. Its eyes that were tightly shut opened without warning and the muscles on its body began to twitch loudly as they adjusted the dislocated bones back to the joints. Abruptly, it sat on the experimental platform.
“Uh… Uh… Uh…” When Gas who had collapsed by the glass door and had its mind completely broken down saw this scene, he howled meaningless utterances right away.
Zhang Lisheng heaved a long breath and took out a small silver flashlight from his pocket. He adjusted the light and turned on a dazzling infrared ray which he flashed onto Iron Chain’s eyes directly.
The infrared ray shot a small point on the blue and white eyeball. As heat slowly began to accumulate, it soon burned through the crystalline lens of the eyeball. However, Iron Chain showed no response at all.
Zhang Lisheng showed a disappointed expression before sighing and retracting his flashlight. Then, he took out a recorder and made a simple record. “B01: living experiment. After the material test, there’s no sign of animalistic reactions at all. The brain was inactivated with ’01 modulating agent’ during the operation. The experimental results of the second step still need to determine the effect of the modified ‘explosive’ which is still unknown.”
After the young man shut the recorder off, he muttered to himself, “I knew that it was impossible for me to get a simplified refining knack for a living corpse in such a simple manner.” Then, he commanded Iron Chain who had already turned into a Corpse Puppet to put on his FedEx uniform in a stiff manner.
Bringing Iron Chain back to stand in front of Gas, Zhang Lisheng unexpectedly opened the door using his fingerprint and said with a smile, “You can leave now, sir. Bring your companion back to the city together with you.”
“Doctor… Oh… Mister… Please… Have mercy… Mercy…” The glass door had already opened, but Gas who had collapsed on the ground still looked up to Zhang Lisheng’s calm face in terror while moaning in a whisper.
At this moment, Iron Chain crouched down and pulled his companion from the ground.
When the Corpse Puppet’s cold hand that had no warmth at all pulled at Gas’ wrist, he could not help but open his mouth to yelp in terror. However, before the voice could even escape his mouth, Iron Chain’s other hand gripped his chin and forced him to swallow his voice back into his stomach.
“Don’t be nervous, Sir. As I said, you can go back now. Go and return to the city, have a glass of drink. Then go have a hot shower and have a good night sleep as well. Everything will be okay tomorrow.”
Accompanied by Zhang Lisheng’s soft voice, Iron Chain pulled Gas and walked out of the glass door one step at a time to leave the lab.
Not long after they left, Zhang Lisheng hastily tidied up his glass room and threw the packaging trash into a trash bin. After he washed his hands, he took out a can of Coke from the refrigerator and leisurely opened it before drinking it while leaving the lab.
Surrounded by the fresh outdoor air and the fine moonlight, the young man rode his bike to the city.
It was actually closer to travel from Stanford University to downtown Stanford than traveling the entire campus from south to north. With Zhang Lisheng’s shocking physical strength, he arrived at the destination in less than 20 minutes on his bicycle, in front of a night club that had a long queue outside.
“It’s here.” Stopping his bike, he supported the bike with only one leg and raised his head to look at the second floor of the nightclub, clearly sensing the location of his Corpse Puppet. Taking out a recorder from his pocket, he talked in the midst of the noisy music. “The second step of the experiment is about to start…”
At this moment, the black hardwood door of the nightclub opened and a few young Asian men and women staggered out of it. One of them saw the side view of Zhang Lisheng’s face that had a small beard. They then shouted in Mandarin, “Hey little fellow countryman! Is that you? Little fellow countryman!”
Upon hearing this scream, Zhang Lisheng’s body stiffened. He put the recorder away and looked in the direction of the sound. Immediately, he saw a beautiful girl with refreshing short hair walk towards him in a chuckle.
“Senior sister Guo, w-why are you here?” When the young man finally saw the girl’s face, he blurted out in astonishment.
“To release stress! Stanford’s homework is so heavy! If you don’t learn how to relieve stress during the break, you’ll break down! Stanford City is always full of our classmates on Friday! What? Do you think everyone is like you? You’re a learning machine!” After a few interactions, Guo Caiying who felt that she had a high understanding of this ordinary-looking young man said as she curled her lips. “I’ve contacted you a few times and every time, you’re always in the lab! How is it? Youngest Stanford’s graduate student of the year? What are you busy with recently? ”
“I’ve recently been busy preparing for the study trip to Shrimp World No. 2…”
“Has Shrimp World No. 2 opened to Stanford’s international students already?” Guo Caiying looked stunned for a moment before saying with amazement.
“No! But I have a US citizenship and my supervisor, Professor Steven, is…”
“Aren’t you an international student from Western Sichuan? Why do you have US citizenship?”
“My mom is an American-Chinese. I grew up in Western Sichuan until I reached the age of 16. After my dad died, I changed my citizenship to American. I have been living with my mom ever since.”
“Every time I see you, I’d always get to hear some mind-blowing news from you. I was wondering how you could enter Stanford’s Biology Faculty at such a young age. It turned out that… To think I was even thinking of pulling you into our Chinese Students Association, but I didn’t expect you to be a US citizen…”
“Citizenship is only a legal identity. Hundreds of thousands of years ago before different countries have even existed, my ancestors lived in the land of China. My blood has destined me to be nothing else but Chinese.”
“Wow, what a solemn way to put it! Then do you plan to return to China after graduation? If you want, I can give you a hand. I promise I’ll never let your skills go vain.”
