Chapter 103
“Drink just a little.” These words from out the mouth of some old drunkard, sounded about as credible as “I’ll stop next time”.
But White King hadn’t given Si Chen the option to refuse.
The fangs pierced Si Chen’s skin.
White King could feel it, the smooth fine taste.
When Eternal Life Abysses hunt, they release a neurotoxin that paralyzes their prey’s nerves.
Si Chen could tell that he was probably paralyzed.
Past the slight pain in the beginning, the wound on the side of his neck had begun to take on a strange sort of soreness. It didn’t hurt; rather, it was like being dizzy after drinking too much wine. He couldn’t summon any strength.
There is a saying in nature that the evolutionary characteristics of any living thing steers in a direction that is beneficial to its own habits.
Si Chen had grown out his teeth due to the mutation brought about by the implantation of the Eternal Life Abyss. At first, he found the human mouth too narrow and no matter how his teeth had evolved, they didn’t seem able to bite off the neck of any mutant. He never expected that these teeth had evolved to suck blood.
Losing a large amount of blood in a short time can cause cold limbs, a sharp drop in body temperature, mental confusion and other adverse reactions.
Si Chen opened his lips and gasped lightly. His vision had blurred. “…That’s enough, Teacher.”
The gulping sounds of swallowing resounded loudly in his ears. The overflowing dark blood dyed the front of Si Chen’s clothes red.
Si Chen felt like he was about to fall asleep.
But out of a self-preservation instinct, he suddenly woke up from his half asleep state. “Thirteen!”
This was the safe word Song Bai had told him while on the motorcycle before.
White King paused, regaining some clarity. The red light in his eyes slowly faded away.
The tempting aroma still lingered around his nostrils but with difficulty, White King managed to loosen the tentacles wrapped around Si Chen’s waist.
Having lost his strength, Si Chen’s knees weakened and he almost fell to the ground.
Si Chen’s mind was in a state of confusion.
He thought that after taking first place in the exam, he’d be able to win while lying down. He never expected that his postgraduate advisor would turn out to be a neck-biting pervert. With one sip of blood, his animalistic nature comes to the fore and he doesn’t want to stop.
He lowered his head and covered the two small bloody puncture holes on his neck. He was unwilling to meet White King’s eyes lest White King see clearly the wariness and hostility in his eyes.
White King thought for a while and explained, “Teacher wasn’t going to eat you.”
He had killed Kuafu but at the same time he had suffered a counterattack by the black mist. His personal will was hanging on by a thread.
Si Chen’s blood was like a diluting agent, used to reduce the concentration of black mist in his body.
Although he said he’d only drink a little bit, he had actually drank hundreds of millions of little bits. But White King truly had no intention of devouring him.
He just overestimated his ability to hold back.
When one is able to wield absolute power without having to pay any price, restraint and patience are inherently much more difficult.
Had White King truly wanted to eat him, even if Si Chen had done everything he could, there was no way Si Chen could escape under such circumstances.
This was pure force.
Although it was clear to him on an intellectual level, it was difficult for Si Chen to completely let down his guard.
White King opened the umbrella once again.
He took a step forward and picked up Si Chen.
The next second, the two people reappeared near the Khaos Manufacturing Facility.
“Teacher,” the voice of the person in his arms revealed no emotion, “What are you planning to do now?”
White King smiled and said, “I need some complimentary ingredients for when I stew you later.”

Room No. 1 opened and a flurry of giant moths flew out.
The moths dragged their long tails and sprinkled fine black powder all around.
This was the scale powder from their expansive wings. It was also an extremely concentrated source of pollution.
White King said, “No. 1 is the most irritable of the group. He ended up eating a lot of the scientific researchers.”
Si Chen thought to himself, no wonder when searching for information in residential areas, many people ended up in either cocoons or turned into insects.
A fat bug with a human face poked its head out. Its body was ginormous. The entire door of Room 1 was as wide as a garage door but only its head could fit through.
It glanced at Si Chen, then at White King. It asked, “Did you give birth to him?”
White King: “What are you thinking? I can’t give birth.”
Saying so, White King patted Si Chen on the shoulder, “Call me ‘ uncle ‘.”
Given the situation, Si Chen could be quite obedient. “Uncle.”
An endearing smile appeared on his face, making him look shy and reserved.
No. 1 gave a sneer that came from its nasal cavity and threw out a storage box. “Now, scram. You only come looking for me when you want something.”
The box fell squarely into Si Chen’s arms.
It was a piece of finger.
No. 1 slammed the door shut.
White King hesitated to speak but finally said, “Thank you.”
The resident of the second floor was a big spider whose limbs look very stiff. Thirteen eyes were distributed across the entirety of its the head; six of which are on either sides of its face.
“You’re back.”
“Yes.”
“I can’t leave with you… Our existence depends on the black mist. To want the black mist, we need to create pollution and death. I would rather sleep like this forever or die. It is enough to leave disaster to only our world.”
White King replied, “I wasn’t thinking of taking you away.”
“But you want this body. Why?”
“Because disasters don’t just befall our world.”
Silence reigned for a moment.
No. 2 sighed and then pushed out a containment box with its arthropods.
It contained a beating heart of pure black. It was only big as a chicken heart and looked as though you could down it in one bite.
White King motioned for Si Chen to take it.
And so, No. 2 too noticed him.
“Where did the child come from?”
Si Chen has been an adult for a long time. The word ‘child’ could never be applied to him given his face.
He knew clearly that what these Children of God were looking at was not him, but the Eternal Life Abyss in his body.
White King replied, “I picked it up.”
“You didn’t give birth to it yourself, did you?” No. 2 sounded very hesitant.
This was the second time someone has asked this question today.
One could be said to be a coincidence but the other one meant there must be some reason.
Si Chen couldn’t hold back his doubts.
After all, the identity of his biological parents were unknown.
White King replied meaningfully. “I didn’t.”
Then came the 3rd floor, the 4th floor, all the way to the 12th floor. They skipped only the 9th, 11th and 13th floors.
There were 10 boxes in total, some big and some small. Stacked together, it was as tall as half a person.
Si Chen was beginning to suspect that White King had brought him along to serve as a pack mule.
When they came out of the Khaos Manufacturing Facility, it was completely dark outside.
The world was dark and only this square tower made of metal remained, like an indestructible foundation.
White King took one last look at the huge tomb and whispered, “Let’s go.”
**
In the suburbs of Baidi City.
It was the middle of the day and everyone’s huge RVs were still parked in the open space.
They had gone in brimming with ambition and came out completely exhausted.
Chu Dongliu looked at the closed space rift behind him and was surprised, “Si Chen and Teacher hadn’t come out?!”
Lin Jiali said, “Teacher White King must have some plans. Don’t think too much on it.”
But her anxious body movements betrayed her state of mind. Every few seconds, she would change her stance. Her eyes too kept glancing towards the open space.
Finally, she couldn’t bear the anxious waiting and carried Chen Zhizhou on her shoulders. “I’ll take Chen Zhizhou to get first aid treatment first.”
Because she didn’t have the password for Chen Zhizhou’s RV, she chose to take Chen Zhizhou to her own.
The life monitor showed that Chen Zhizhou was in good condition. Rather than being seriously injured and comatose, it was more like he had fallen into too deep a sleep.
Snakes are meant to hibernate.
Only then did Lin Jiali feel a little relieved.
Song Ziyu called home to report that he made it out safe.
“Isn’t it supposed to be 14 days? Today is only the fifth day.”
Song Ziyu pursed his lips. “It was over early, shugong.”
The person on the other end asked, “And are the results out?”
“They are.”
“Did you pass?”
“……No.”
And so, the call was cut off.
Although he had expected it, Song Ziyu’s heart still gave a heavy thud.
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. The younger generation of the Song Family have adopted this system of nomenclature.
But unlike several of the other color named members, Song Ziyu had come from a branch line of the family. It was because of his talent that he had given a name like Ziyu.
This meant that anyone could be “Song Ziyu”, he was simply keeping this title for now.
Since it had been given, it could also be taken back at any time.
He sighed and decided to just stop thinking.
Song Ziyu was done with his phone call but White King still hadn’t come out.
The time inside and outside was inconsistent. It was daytime now — almost noon. The weather was hot. No one was afraid of being fried under the sun but they would inevitably sweat a little.
Chen Zhizhou woke up with a splitting headache. When he opened his eyes in the RV, it felt like he’d had a long dream.
There was the Machine Core logo on the RV. The comfortable environment around him also clearly hinted that he had left the exam venue.
Chen Zhizhou walked out of the car.
Outside, the others had set up parasols and tables. The robot housekeepers were busy attending to and serving refreshments to this group of young lady and young masters.
He looked around, pulled out a chair and sat down next to Lin Jiali. He asked, “Where’s Si Chen?”
When Chen Zhizhou had fallen unconscious outside the elevator at the time, he hadn’t yet completely passed out.
He still remembered that it was Si Chen who had carried him out.
It was impossible not to feel moved. At that time, Chen Zhizhou had completely given up hope. He thought he’d never be able to make it out of the Space Fold alive.
He had no impression of what happened next.
“You’re awake,” Lin Jiali said, “They haven’t come out yet.”
Half an hour had passed.
Lin Jiali’s father told her to wait three days. Three days later, if White King and Si Chen still hadn’t come out, they could drive back home.
Chu Dongliu had also reported that he’d made it out. He posted to his Moments which was visible also to his family. Questions from relatives and friends then began pouring in.
“I’m alive. I’m all right. I didn’t pass the exam. Let’s talk about it when we get back. The first placer is named Si Chen.”
He copied and pasted these same words many times.
This result surprised many people.
After all, they had never even heard of Si Chen before.
Song Bai had adopted many children. The first few times he’d done so, made the Great Families very nervous.
Later, they found out that he’d apparently been doing it out of the goodness of his heart and gradually let out a slow exhale of relief.
Si Chen was Song Bai’s first student and thus, received the same treatment as Song Bai’s first adopted son.
Overnight, his information was placed on the desks of countless important figures.
Becoming Bai Di’s student and heir; Si Chen not only inherited his wealth, but also inherited his enemies.
Chu Dongliu clicked on the starred friend list and found his big-time cousin.
Ji Chuyao’s avatar had been changed to white text on a black background with two lines that said: In a Space Fold, not out yet. Please leave a message.
Chu Dongliu thought of how Si Chen acted in the Space Fold and he also thought of Chen Zhizhou’s unusual attitude just now.
He viciously typed out a line of words: “Biao Ge, someone’s about to make off with your wife!! What are you still doing in this Space Fold?!”
White King going for a stroll, collecting the rent 🤣
Chu dongliu just wants to watch the world burn, I see.
Ah yes, next match is cyborg vs snake.
After that is Turing vs White King, I see AHAHAHAH-
BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
🤣🤣🤣
Stirring the sh!t…
