Chapter 10 Dangerous Relationships
Killing Ran Xiangtian is very easy because his level is far inferior to He Huaibi.
He Huai didn't need to show his superpowers at all. He just needed a hand knife to kill Ran Xiangtian; however, in order to avoid blood on his hands and clothes, He Huai used a cold weapon he picked up when he started.
The knife fell with his hands and the head fell with his ground.
Ran Xiangtian died happily. He neither suffered any additional pain nor became someone else's food after death. Perhaps for him, it was a good thing and a relief to be able to usher in such an ending.
"You should have many questions to ask me, right?" After He Huai handled Ran Xiangtian, he threw away his weapon casually, raised his voice and said this.
After his words fell, about five seconds later, Yan Wushang's figure appeared in his sight.
"You should know what I want to ask." Yan Wushang walked out of the forest and said calmly, "You just tell me what you can tell me, or what you want to tell me..."
He Huai pushed the black-framed glasses on his nose, thought for a few seconds, and then replied with a smile: "Okay, then I will introduce myself first..." He paused for a moment, and then said, "I'm the name of He Huai, and my identity is not the civil servant I mentioned before, but a staff officer under Changzun, known as the 'designer'."
"Oh, lucky to know." Yan Wushang answered in an insincere tone.
"Haha...you're welcome." He Huai said, "Although you are not familiar with me, I have been following you for a long time. As the third 'qualified person' of "Tianxuan Island", I have great expectations for you."
"Well... before you explain this so-called "Selected Island", can you tell me how the two previous "qualified people" are doing now?" Yan Wushang said.
"Ha..." He Huai chuckled, "Don't worry, it's great, just listen to me."
Yan Wushang shrugged and used an expression that seemed to be saying "Then just say it" to the other party continue.
He Huai also quickly continued: "It was about fifteen years ago... At that time, I was still working in the Federation, and I was a well-known scientist. However, because the federal government's corruption from the inside out, from top to bottom, and in all aspects... it is very difficult to do something practical within that system.
"A large amount of resources have been invested in a group of people who only know how to flatter and seniority, they either do pie-style projects that cannot make any progress in decades to defraud funds, or provide some boring projects that specifically meet the perverted pleasure needs.
"A hard-working person like me can only take the meager capital, put in several times the effort, and do research with difficulty...
"And when I finally achieved a little bit of results, the so-called leaders who not only did not help at all, but also created a lot of resistance for me will swarm like locusts, shamelessly dividing my honors and achievements.
"At that time, I... was very angry, but I was powerless to change anything. Just when I was discouraged and planned to join the crowd, I met the most important men in my life, Lord Changzun."
When he said this, he showed an extremely pious expression, and it seemed that he truly admired his master.
"Then he asked you to design and build the place we are now?" Yan Wushang continued in time, "Are you sure this is not the same as what you just mentioned in the 'perverted pleasure needs'?"
"Note your wording! Yan Wushang." He Huai suddenly said with a stern look, "I don't allow others to slander Lord Changzun like this." He paused for a second and explained, "It was not what he meant to create this 'selected island', but I took the initiative to propose it. Lord Changzun just trusted me unconditionally and gave me almost unlimited disposable resources to promote this project."
"So do you think this is a story about a 'a capable minister meeting a wise lord'?" Yan Wushen said.
"Do you think it's not?" He Huai asked back.
"You continue talking." Yan Wushang responded.
Although Yan Wushang's true view of this matter was that "a mad scientist met a super Kaizi who tried to use him", he did not say it out because he was afraid that he had not received enough information, so he angered He Huai.
"You may not fully understand what you said, so let you 'just look'." He Huai immediately said in a show-off tone and raised his hand to point to the sky.
At this moment, the blue sky and white clouds above the jungle suddenly disappeared in the scorching sun, and then it appeared a huge metal dome.
"'Tianxuan Island' is divided into three parts..." He Huai's words continue, "The first part is an energy base located above the sea. In addition to providing energy to the facilities on the entire island, the base also needs to shield and screen various signals from the surface of the earth and on satellite orbits. The 'clouds' generated during its operation just can hide the island.
"The second part is the genetic laboratory located below sea level, and it is also the place I stayed the most on weekdays; there, I only took three years to complete things that I could not do in the federal system for thirty years. I created a large number of endangered animals and even extinct species with a survival period of more than five years, and successfully developed some 'interesting new varieties'..."
Hearing this, Yan Wushang couldn't help but interrupt and said, "I'm quite familiar with your research results, so I don't need to introduce them in detail."
"Haha..." He Huai smiled knowingly and continued, "And the third part is this virtual jungle.
"From the outside world, this part is a spherical facility located deep in the seabed, with a diameter of only a dozen kilometers; but the inside... I designed it as a space similar to the "Penrose Ladder". Therefore, theoretically, this place is as huge as the "an entire planet". No one can escape whether it is a flying ability, a super-speed ability, or even a mental transmission ability...."
Yan Wushang laughed dryly: "Hmph...so that's it." He seemed to suddenly think of something, "So, the daily 'airdrop', to put it bluntly, you directly dropped supplies from the passage connecting the 'second part' to the 'third part' of the island, and then gave us a sound effect of the plane passing by, right?"
He Huai continued: "That's right, speaking of it... I just searched and downloaded the sound effects online."
"Well..." Yan Wushang pondered and said again, "Actually, in the first few days I came here, I had already discovered that the sound of planes flying by every day was completely consistent. In addition, with the 'broadcast sound from the sky', I roughly guessed that this was a special space, but I didn't expect it to be 'circular connection'. If I had known it earlier... I wouldn't have been struggling with several people for a month in a row."
"From the result, it's pretty good," He Huai continued, "It was that month that allowed you to improve your abilities to the peak of the fierce level, right?"
"Then the question is..." Yan Wushang asked, "You said I am a 'qualified person'. The basis should be that my ability has broken through to a certain extent, right?" Yan Wushang heard all the conversation between Ran Xiangtian and He Huai before, and He Huai knew this. "But, compared with that time, I have not improved much, right? Why did you wait until now to appear? If you were to make me make a breakthrough, you should not 'reset' this island again, but should cast a stronger monster to test me, right?"
"Hehe..." He Huai smiled, "You might as well try to think about this question from another perspective. I think you should be able to think of the answer."
After he reminded him, Yan Wushang thought for a while and suddenly realized: "Oh... is it the reason for time?"
"That's right." He Huai nodded, "The screening is not just for you. All the people you meet here have equal opportunities as you; anyone who can accumulate a year of survival on this island is considered to be "qualified". But if you are killed by a newcomer on the 364th day, it will be considered a failure.
"Before you, there was a situation where the fierce 'veteran' who had lived for more than half a year was killed by a newcomer... I naturally would not recommend it to Lord Changzun."
"Then I'm going to ask again..." Yan Wushang raised the initial question again, which is what he is more concerned about now, and is directly related to his future fate. "The two qualified people before me..."
"The first qualified person on Tianxuan Island is me, He Huai." He Huai continued before the other party finished speaking, "I am a genetically modified person who is close to the level of ability in this jungle, and mutated his true supernatural ability, and grew into a level of ability in just one year."
"Dare to act as the first batch of experimental products for what you make yourself... I admire you." Yan Wushang's words were not a compliment, but from the sincerity.
"Haha, scientists should have a bit of the spirit of Banner and Osborne, right?" He Huai immediately gave two examples that were not worth learning.
"Well... I think it's more like an example of 'I'm very confident in the toilet I cleaned up, so I licked it', but you can say that," Yan Wushang finally couldn't help but say something trash.
He Huai's mouth twitched a few times when he heard this, and he didn't know if he should be angry about such a thing.
But in the end, he held back and said again: "As for the second 'qualified person', I can't tell you too much. As long as you know she is an existence that no one can afford to offend..."
"Okay." Yan Wushang thought for a few seconds and asked, "What are you going to do next? Take me to see the '门后' you mentioned?"
"Yes, but before that, you have to see another person first." As He Huai said this, the "that person" he had already walked out of the jungle behind him.
Yan Wushang turned his eyes to the man. He saw an Asian man in his thirties and dressed properly.
"Mr. Yan, I've been hiding for a long time." The man said to Yan Wushang while walking, "In the morning...the moonlightest part of Mitsuhide."
