Chapter 97
Faced with Song Bai’s request, Si Chen clenched the handle of the motorcycle and fell into deep thought. “There may not be enough space. Teacher.”
Song Bai smiled and said, “No worries. I can stand behind on the engine. Or Chen Zhizhou could get off.”
This motorcycle was one that Si Chen had picked up in the Space Fold.
Si Chen plus the Eternal Life Abyss weighed 400 kilograms and No. 9 behind him with his snake tail weighed in at 600 kilograms.
That the small motorcycle could bear a literal ton without breaking down was already a testament to its durability.
Add another White King and it would be hard to say.
But most importantly, he had just heard the shocking gossip that “No. 13 was called Baidi”. He was worried that a foul mood-ed White King might silence him in a permanent way.
Against Kuafu, he could still hide in a room and refuse to come out.
Against White King, he was afraid he’d have to hide in a Space Fold to live out the rest of his days.
In actuality, there were people who have been hiding in different Space Folds for decades because they were afraid of facing White King.
Whenever Si Chen approached Song Bai, he felt a little dizzy, as if he were drunk. His body also felt limp and had no strength.
This was also the reason why he was particularly afraid of Song Bai.
It was inevitable that one would fear the unknown.
Si Chen: “Teacher. Isn’t three people a bit much?”
Song Bai: “Yes, so let’s have Chen Zhizhou get off. He does take up a bit of space.”
“……” No.9.
An eerie silence descended upon them.
No. 9 whispered to him secretly, “He too smells like No. 13.”
Number 9 had worded his statements very carefully.
Si Chen was “marked”; Song Bai was “smells like”. The former was when an Omega came into heat for the first time and was forcibly marked; the latter was when an Alpha went out to socialize and was stained with the pheromones of wild Omegas.
The Eternal Life Abyss, who was lying on Si Chen’s head, quietly slid back along his collar.
Si Chen answered bravely, “Chen Zhizhou is injured.”
Song Bai paused. “Teacher is also injured.”
Song Bai had said this so carelessly that it seemed he was telling a bold faced lie.
But he really was injured.
The black umbrella Song Bai was holding was a high-dimensional item. It was made with the skin of an Eternal Life Abyss and its purpose was to absorb pollution.
Si Chen wanted to refuse but Song Bai had already stepped forward.
The rear tire of the motorcycle sunk deeply into the ground and slowly deflated.
The thought of finding a four-wheeler had crossed Si Chen’s mind but four-wheelers were outfitted with an anti-theft technology called SID chips.
Simply put, the car manufacturers had implanted an identification chip in the body of the car owner. It required no internet connection and you won’t be able to drive a car without the chip.
No. 9’s tail took up too much space. Song Bai patted his shoulder. “You sit in the back.”
No. 9 made as if to speak but stopped. In the end, he didn’t raise any objection.
So, the person sitting in the middle became Song Bai.
Song Bai commanded unceremoniously: “Go forward, pass through the lab area and head for the other half of the city’s residential area.”

Song Bai had an umbrella in one hand, while the other hand, as though it didn’t know where to rest upon, kept touching Si Chen here and there.
Si Chen felt a little like reporting him to the police.
Song Bai got a hold of Si Chen’s test paper. He unfolded it and felt very gratified. “Not bad. You’ve actually already gotten eighty points.”
His estimated scores were around 25 to 60 points. Unexpectedly, Si Chen had taken the initiative to answer the additional questions. He has even answered part of the fourth question.
This went far beyond his expectations.
The small motorcycle actually carried three Eternal Life Abysses.
When this motorcycle was manufactured, it probably never ever imagined that it would have such a moment to shine. On their way to the lab area, this little motorcycle finally ran out of fuel.
Si Chen suddenly felt secretly happy but he didn’t allow any of it to show on his face. Instead, he said pitifully, “We’re out of gas, Teacher.”
They had just gotten to the lab area.
Si Chen still had that ID card with the K6 designation.
Si Chen’s original plan was to trick No. 9 into following him to the sixth floor of the Khaos Manufacturing Facility, where he’ll somehow trick No. 6 into handing over his remains.
After all, that was another 10 points.
But White King didn’t give him this chance. “Follow me.”
He led Si Chen to a pond within the lab area.
It looked a lot like a refurbished swimming pool.
Except that instead of being filled with water, it was filled with thick, syrup-like black mud. Its surface was overgrown with grass.
Si Chen was confused. “What is this?”
“Beneath is High-dimensional Creature 452. Do you remember what 452 looks like?”
452 looked like a cow. It had been named Kui Niu. In mythology, Kui Niu are electrically charged beings and the same went for 452.
Kui Niu was known for its electrical property and for its tendency to stay deep underwater. In the high-dimensional creature encyclopedia it was marked as being of medium danger.
But, of course, right now, 425’s most important feature was its broad back and its ability to run very fast. It would make for the perfect disposable mount.
Song Bai, still holding his umbrella, threw a knife to Si Chen. There was an immense shadow under his feet. “Catch it alive and bring it out. Don’t you want to be my student? Show me how you fight.”
This was just another example of Song Bai’s shamelessness.
Obviously, he was the one who was desperate to find an heir to retire early but the way he said it made it sound like it was Si Chen who was there to please him.
However, Si Chen knew nothing about this and he still wanted to find a way for the Eternal Life Abyss to survive.
So, after a moment of silence, Si Chen squatted down and picked up the knife White King had thrown over.
The knife was about as long as his forearm. It was just the right size; very suitable for a high-agility high-attack assassin like Si Chen.
He jumped into the dark pool.
Very quickly, the water surface swirled slightly and circles of fine foam rose up onto the surface.
The ground began to shake slightly.
No. 9 stood by the pool and said, “You are too strict, 13.”
Song Bai smiled and replied, “I’m not No. 13; you’ve got the wrong person.”
“13 merged with the Eternal Life Abyss, completely changing its structure of life. Many years ago, 13 used 11’s property in order to be conceived in your father’s belly. Your father named you Song Bai. Time and time again, he prayed for your death. You lived and 13’s memories are slowly awakening in you.”
About a hundred years ago. Mr. Song and his teammates entered the Kuafu Science and Technology City.
In the end, only Mr. Song, stomach heavy with child, managed to make it back.
At the time, Mr. Song had still been young.
Afraid that should he be exposed, others would kill him without hesitation to prevent a high-dimensional invasion, he concealed the origin of the fetus and kept the secret until his death.
“So, who do you think you are now? White King (Baidi) or Song Bai?”
Song Bai replied, “It’s not important.”
No. 9 turned his head; his snake tongue shot out between his lips in irritability. “He’s still young.”
What No. 9 had actually been about to say was that Si Chen was still a mere infant.
Homo sapiens basically mature at the age of 18.
But in the case of the Eternal Life Abyss, it may take decades to fully develop under natural conditions.
Song Bai said coldly, “When high-dimensional universes deploy beings to massacre, they don’t care whether you are young or not.”
No. 9 pursed his lips.
Song Bai asked, “What did you dream about?”
In past experiments, No. 9 had not only been fused with part of an Eternal Life Abyss, but also with a high-dimensional creature called the “Voidkin”.
Born in a supernatural civilization, the Voidkin is a kind of incorporeal creature.
Their status in the supernatural civilizations is similar to that of the Eternal Life Abyss in the chaotic civilizations.
No. 9 has a characteristic called precognitive dreams.
No. 9 replied, “I haven’t slept since I woke up.”
Song Bai: “Oh, do you want to leave here?”
“No, this is my home. I want to be buried with it. Moreover, sleeping is quite comfortable. Ignorant, I won’t suffer from my own inability.”
Song Bai didn’t expect that No. 9 could actually describe the situation in such a fresh and refined manner.
He nodded. “Alright.”
“Actually, although your original plan did not succeed, it also cannot be considered a failure. At the very least, Kuafu is indeed dead.”
The birth of the first generation Children of God had relied on Kuafu’s body.
It was like an old father dividing the family property. Since the old father wasn’t dead yet, the inheritance he gave could be taken back.
However, Kuafu didn’t expect that the recovered body would be diseased.
These test subjects inflicted eight hundred damage points to the enemy and a thousand damage points to themselves. At the cost of completely degenerating into pollutants, they set about to end the lifeform known as Song Kuafu.
They did to him what he had done to the director in the beginning.
Their recovered bodies had not completely lost their sense of autonomy.
Song Kuafu had to create a new batch of vessels, the so-called second generation Children of God, to hold these diseased bodies.
In the end, No. 13 failed to become the savior of the world. Everyone was dead except them monsters.
No. 9 asked, “What is your purpose for opening the Space Fold this time?”
Song Bai replied, “I want to retire. While I am still human, I plan to find some unlucky fellow to be my successor.”
No. 9 couldn’t help but be surprised at suddenly hearing the word “retire” come out from the mouth of a workaholic.
The small pond kept shaking and lightning flashed on its surface.
The conversation ended at this point.
After a while, Si Chen dragged a half-dead Kui Niu ashore.
This cow had one eye and four horns, two of which were broken now. The dark hair on its body was as hard as steel needles.
It was covered in blood and breathing heavily. As it was slowly pulled out of the mud, it made bloody track marks across the ground.
This Kui Niu was still alive.
A live specimen was much rarer than a dead one.
Black skin now covered all the way up the sides of Si Chen’s face. However, this was not a smooth expanse of skin. Fine lines crisscrossed its surface creating something that looked like snake scales.
Pain burned in Si Chen’s stomach. He desperately wanted to eat.
It even felt like the Eternal Life Abyss was about to come out of his stomach.
“Teacher…I brought it back.”
Si Chen was exhausted and he sat on the ground, panting nonstop. He downed the gene medicine that the Eternal Life Abyss helped him get.
Song Bai’s eyes fell on Si Chen’s tail. This little tail unexpectedly stuck out at this moment, looking a bit swollen from increased blood flow.
Song Bai thought he’s seen almost everything but the tail of a Carolian was a first.
So, Song Bai subconsciously stretched out his hand, wanting to touch it, only to be bounced back the protective ring on the tail.
A shallow cut appeared on his fingertip.
Song Bai looked at the marks on his hand, thought for a couple of seconds and then widened the cut his nail.
A round drop of blood dripped from his fingertip, looking more like a raw ruby than a bead of blood.
He wiped the drop of blood on Si Chen’s lips.
Si Chen’s eyes went blank for a moment. He then subconsciously followed his instinct and licked the blood off his lips.
Appetite is the most instinctive pursuit of every animal. To live, you need to eat.
To Si Chen, what he’d eaten didn’t seem like blood. It was like high-intensity concentrated dopamine. The intense pleasure made him tremble.
Si Chen has seen drug addicts. In Disaster Zones, it was not uncommon for civilians to be abducted to take dopamine drugs or made to become addicted to the virtual world. To chase that little bit of excitement, these victims sell everything they have.
After being drained of their last bit of value, these people will left in dark alleys, left to fend for themselves. They’ve sold everything they could to pursue that ultimate happiness. And even though things turn out that way, they die with a smile on their face.
White King squeezed out another drop of blood. “Do you want it? Come here.”
Si Chen’s teeth trembled and his hand clenched tightly around the handle of the knife.
There was a strange cry in his ears. The Eternal Life Abyss was more out of control than at any time before. It cried and yelled out of instinct. It even wanted to drive Si Chen forward.
“Mom! Hungry!” It was like a crying child rolling around on the floor in front of the toy rack in the mall.
He was the host and vessel of the Eternal Life Abyss. The entire purpose of parasitism is to survive better.
Just like how horsehair worms drive praying mantises to jump into a river, many times, the host is actually unable to resist the parasites in its body.
But Si Chen, with much difficulty, forced himself to take a step back.
He looked to be in a very sorry state. His eyes were red and the look he directed at Song Bai even contained murderous intent.
Thereby, Song Bai laughed, clearly in a good mood.
He fed this drop of blood to the Eternal Life Abyss in his body, took a step forward, and touched Si Chen’s dirty face. “Teacher is very satisfied with you. I’m willing to open a back door channel for you and settle the matter of this exam, right here, right now. How about it?”
Is this considered too easy? I feel like SC suffered a lot, but SB is too casual so it feels sus
This is completely off topic for such an informative chapter but who was Chang Shen Yuan???
Sorry about that. the Chang Shen Yuan is the phonetic translation for the Eternal Life Abyss
