One day later, in Gloomy Bone City, a city at the border of the Gold Crow Kingdom and the Nether Spring Kingdom …
The plague in the city had been completely brought under control. It had become the forward base of the Coalition Army of Demons again.
Deep inside the ruins, dozens of meters below the ground, inside a heavily-guarded cage …
'Mad Medic' Lu Wuxin's body was soaked in an enormous biochemical slot, but the inside of the slot was a cluster of deep blue ice crystals that had completely frozen him. He could not even move his toes.
His head was the only thing that was stuck to the ice, but it was clamped by cold metal pliers. Even his eyelids had been pried open by iron needles. He could not even blink.
Sophisticated attack rune arrays had been installed on the walls, from which electric arcs were spluttering now and then. The prison cell was guarded twenty-four hours a day by at least one demon emperor, who had the highest level of the Nether World Watch that had been captured so far, and they were keeping a close watch on him.
Even so, 'Mad Medic' Lu Wuxin was still wearing a weird smile on his face while he stared at Li Yao and the Fire Ant in a creepy way.
Fire Ant felt creepy under his stare. He sneered and said, "Lu Wuxin, the situation today is exactly the same as the torture chamber on the island of the Nether World half a year ago, except that you and I have swapped places. This is what we call 'every dog has its day'!
"I still remember clearly how you tortured me in the torture chamber that day. How you squeezed out every cell in my brain."
"Today, I'm going to invite you to taste the same feeling, too!"
'Mad Medic' Lu Wuxin smiled even more brilliantly. Twisting his tongue that was somewhat frozen, he said in a weird tone, "It's useless. Fire Ant, do you see the scars on my head?
"Others call me the 'Mad Doctor' because I often do crazy things, and the craziest of them all is the Mad Doctor. The craziest of all is that I opened my skull and performed minor surgeries on my brain, burying a lot of bizarre items inside.
"Hehehehe. My brain is perhaps the most complicated maze in the Blood Demon Sector. If I hadn't activated it, you wouldn't have been able to figure out the 'little secret' buried in the deepest part of the brain! "
"And once my cranial nerves sense too much pain, the 'gift' I buried in my head will explode at any moment, allowing me to die comfortably and painlessly."
"So, if you really want me to work with you, please change your attitude. I am not loyal to Elder Nether Spring at all. Just give me a slightly higher price, and I will betray him completely! "
The Fire Ant laughed out loud. "You're about to die, yet you're still so stubborn! Lu Wuxin, do you really think you're that valuable? The sixteen main biochemical brains in Elder Nether Spring's nest are all under our control. A lot of files have been parsed. Very soon, we will figure out the general picture of the Spore Stratagem and all the variants of the Demon God Virus!
"And what qualifications do you have to talk about 'cooperation'?"
"As for the things in your head, it's really good. It doesn't matter if it is fake. If we gather the strength of the entire Blood Demon Sector, we will find a way to get it out! "
"When the time comes. Hehe. Let's not talk about how many people you killed when you helped Elder Nether Spring produce the 'Demon God Virus'. How many more people did you kill more than ten years ago under the name of 'Mad Medic'? I'd like to know what will happen to you if you are handed over to the families of the victims! "
"Haha. Hahahaha!"
Lu Wuxin laughed crazily. He was laughing so hard that he could barely catch his breath. Tears were flowing out of his eyes. His face was red from holding back his anger.
His eyes suddenly turned extremely weird, as he said gloomily, "What do you think? Are the sixteen main biochemical brains and even the entire Spore Stratagem all Elder Nether Spring's trump cards?
"You think too simply of Elder Nether Spring. Too simply!"
"It's up to you whether you want to believe it or not. After all, some critical information is hidden deep inside my head, which is top confidential information that cannot be recorded in any of the main biochemical brains. It is even related to the survival of the entire Blood Demon Sector!
"Hehe. You think that everything will be fine after you sabotaged the Spore Stratagem?
"Idiots!
"It is not me who is going to die; it is you. All of you and even the entire Blood Demon Sector! Hahahaha! "
"What do you mean?"
The Fire Ant's antennae were erect as he bellowed, "Where is Elder Nether Spring exactly?"
"How would I know?"
Lu Wuxin looked at him gloatingly. "However, the most important thing right now is not where he is but what trump cards he has, right? Let go of me, and I'll tell you everything. "
The Fire Ant bulged his eyes. "You …"
Li Yao, who had been observing coldly nearby, suddenly asked, "How do you want to cooperate?"
Lu Wuxin's eyes suddenly shone. He grimaced. "Vulture Li Yao is truly flexible. Perhaps you have noticed something wrong, too, haven't you?
"Think about it. Even Jin Tuyi, who ranks third among the four giants of the Blood Demon Sector, was able to set up such a huge trap. How could Elder Nether Spring, one of the best of the four giants, have been knocked down so easily? It doesn't make any sense! "
"Tell me your terms," Li Yao said coldly.
"It's very simple."
Lu Wuxin licked his lips and said, "I'm not interested in fame or fortune. I only like to work on my research.
"I will tell you all of Elder Nether Spring's secrets and cooperate with your research on the Demon God Virus. You must know that I've been the supervisor of the laboratory of the Demon God Virus for the past five years. With my help, you will certainly be able to control the plague faster.
"As for my terms, you will spare my life and prepare a fully-equipped laboratory for me.
"I can change my name and never show up in public again. You can always announce that I'm dead.
"Such terms will benefit both of us, right?"
Li Yao and the Fire Ant looked at each other. After pondering for a moment, they shook their heads and said, "Elder Nether Spring is a centipede. He may be dead, but he is just a centipede after all. He can't raise any big waves. How do we know that you are not bluffing with your alarmist talk?"
"It's simple," Lu Wuxin said with a smile.
"I can tell you the general profile of the Children of the Nether World first. You can judge for yourself whether or not they are real!"
"Children of the Nether World?"
Li Yao's lips twitched. The Spore Stratagem had not been completed yet. Why was there another Child of the Nether World? What was that all about?
Lu Wuxin blinked and smiled. "When we met last time, Elder Nether Spring put on the Venomous Scorpion Bone Biting Shackle for the Fire Ant, which was the work of 'Solar Eclipse' Jiang Shaoyang, one of the best masters of refining in the Tian Yuan Realm.
"At that time, both Elder Nether Spring and I thought that it was absolutely safe. Nobody could crack Jiang Shaoyang's masterpiece that he had worked so hard for.
"It was a pity that it was cracked in the end, which led to the failure of our overall plan.
"Hehe. At that time, who could've foreseen that 'Vulture Li Yao', who defeated 'Solar Eclipse' Jiang Shaoyang in refining ten years ago, was hiding right next to us?
"However, Vulture Li Yao, do you not find it strange?
"How did a piece of magical equipment crafted by one of the best masters of refining in the Tian Yuan Realm to confine a demon emperor appear in the Blood Demon Sector? Who smuggled it over from the Tian Yuan Realm?
"If it were a regular chainsword, a crystal tank, or even a Crystal Suit, it would be understandable if it was smuggled to the Blood Demon Sector. But what does it mean if such an ultimate treasure can be smuggled over? How much influence does Elder Nether Spring have in the Tian Yuan Realm? "
The Fire Ant's eyes were frozen as he exclaimed in shock.
Li Yao narrowed his eyes, too, with a drop of cold sweat popping up on his forehead.
Since the moment he saw the Venomous Scorpion Bone Biting Shackle, the question had been bothering him for a long time.
However, he had been sabotaging the Eye of Blood Demon, helping Jin Tuyi seize power, leading the rise of Skyfire, and controlling the plague. He had barely had any time to rest. Therefore, he had put the question aside for now.
Now that Lu Wuxin had brought it up again, it was like a venomous needle that pierced into the back of Li Yao's head brutally!
"Does Elder Nether Spring have connections in the Tian Yuan Realm?" Li Yao demanded.
Lu Wuxin did not give a straight answer. Instead, he said unhurriedly, "Speaking of which, Jin Xinyue, our saintess, has risen to fame in the Blood Demon Sector recently. Most of the low-level demons have been conquered by her. Her experience of transforming from a demon into a human being is quite legendary, too!
"No matter what the fools say, you and I are both clear that Jin Xinyue transformed from a demon into a human being because she accidentally swallowed a lot of the Divine Blood of Chaos, which was stolen from Elder Nether Spring's laboratory.
"Hehe. Here comes the question. Do you think that the bottle of Divine Blood of Chaos that Jin Xinyue got was the only bottle of Divine Blood of Chaos?
"Yes. It was indeed the last bottle of Divine Blood of Chaos. Elder Nether Spring kept it for the purpose of studying the mysteries in it and finding a way to mass-produce it.
"However, his research has always been clandestine, and he could not use the few largest biochemical factories in the Blood Demon Sector. Therefore, the research on mass-production has never made any progress.
"However, of the dozens of relics of Chaos that Elder Nether Spring discovered in the past hundred years, was the only bottle of Divine Blood of Chaos that he found?"
Li Yao and the Fire Ant King swallowed hard at the same time.
Lu Wuxin smiled brilliantly. "Since Jin Xinyue's cells were stabilized after she swallowed a lot of Divine Blood of Chaos, and she turned from a demon into a human being, as long as other demons swallow a lot of Divine Blood of Chaos, there is a chance that they will be transformed into 100% human beings, too. Any test methods will not be able to see through them, right?"
