The Geqinggou Incident had already passed for three days. Xiao Yefeng and Mo Fei had returned to Beijing North, this time hitching a ride. Members of the Mei Family and Nangong Family had sent people to pick up their young masters and young ladies. Although Xiao Yefeng and Nangong Zhe had not spent much time together, under Mei Chuanqiong's suggestion, Xiao Yefeng had taken a moment to check on Fate.
With a wealthy background, his demeanor remained unremarkable. Despite some setbacks, things seemed to be going well now; after all, it was commendable for a rich young man to maintain such composure. However, his relationship with Mei Mo'er appeared quite harmonious. Yet, matters of the heart were difficult to judge. Xiao Yefeng's assessment had relieved Mei Chuanqiong, but this time, Mei Chuanqiong had inadvertently revealed his identity as a vampire.
Along with Xiao Yefeng and Mo Fei, members of the Nangong Family escorted them back to Beijing North. It was at this moment that Xiao Yefeng learned that the Nangong Family had deep roots in the north. This trip was convenient for returning several individuals, and carrying along various spoils, Xiao Yefeng returned to the Metaphysics Society.
After handing over two Soul Flags, the group gathered in the hospital room to discuss how to begin saving the two children. Upon returning to Beijing, Xiao Yefeng also learned of Yuan Xun's death. Jiang Xing informed him that Yuan Xun's soul had not appeared; it seemed he had been cursed and killed, his soul completely dissipated. After hearing about Yuan Xun's demise, Xiao Yefeng went to examine Yuan Xun's body.
Indeed, like his parents, Yuan Xun's death was bizarre; his soul had vanished, clearly indicating a curse that prevented rebirth—a malicious spell that made it impossible to interrogate the soul.
Xiao Yefeng had already discussed treatment methods for the two children with everyone. However, he was not skilled in calming souls or dispelling curses and poisons; it wasn't that he couldn't do it but rather that he wasn't specialized in those areas. There were experts within the Metaphysics Society for such matters. Xiao Yefeng planned to prepare himself to block evil spirits using Zhao Yin Gate when the time came.
Thus, he now had time to address issues concerning the Soul Banner and Spirit Platform regarding the various spirits involved. He summoned Jeff's ghost and summoned a spark of electric energy in his palm, striking Jeff's Ghost Body with a crackling sound. The pain caused Jeff to roll on the ground, and at that moment, Xiao Yefeng asked, "Tell me everything I want to know clearly; I will send you to the afterlife. Otherwise, what just happened will feel like a warm-up!"
Being tormented by Xiao Yefeng after becoming a ghost had already shattered Jeff's psychological defenses. Before Xiao Yefeng could finish his inquiry, all the information he knew spilled out of him. It turned out that in the West, battles between vampires and werewolves were no longer uncommon. The vampire Dark Council and the werewolf organization Beastman Alliance had jointly joined the Divine Descent Society. As for which organization led the Divine Descent Society and brought these two enemies together, that remained unknown.
However, one thing was certain: currently, both the vampire leader and the werewolf chief bowed down to this Divine Descent Society; on the surface, they no longer fought openly. Of course, covert killings still unfolded between both sides.
Vampires possessed the ability to infect ordinary people and turn them into vampire minions; however, beastmen were notoriously low in reproductive capability. In desperation, beastmen began researching their own genes and extracted them for study. With assistance from an unknown expert within the Divine Descent Society, they managed to crack the werewolf gene and started experimenting with decomposing beast genes while gradually fusing them with human genes.
Initially met with failure—where combining beast genes with human genes resulted in death—the first batch of beastman warriors eventually emerged after countless lives were sacrificed. However, those surviving experiment subjects who did not die gradually lost their humanity under their beastly instincts—like the type of Beastman controlled by Yuan Dui that Xiao Yefeng encountered. There were fewer than one hundred such warriors left alive; according to reports, they had all been eradicated. The two vampire minions knew nothing about the existence of Beastmen.
Later on, for reasons unknown, confidential documents regarding these Gene Warriors became known among various major powers in the West. Clearly, the Constellation Mercenary Corps—where Xiao Yefeng once served—was also part of one such power’s experimental team. According to Jeff’s account, research teams gradually discovered that ordinary humans found it difficult to manage beast genes; thus ten years ago, various factions began experimenting using battle-hardened Special Forces personnel.
The Wild Forces had no soldiers willing to sacrifice themselves, so they could only turn to Mercenaries. The so-called International Mercenary teams were merely breeding grounds for experimental subjects from various factions. Every battle-hardened Mercenary ultimately faced the fate of being injected with genes in batches. As the leading group, the Constellation Mercenaries naturally could not escape being exploited.
Upon learning this news, Xiao Yefeng couldn't help but think of his teammates. Zhebie's liver was damaged, which clearly indicated he had also undergone gene injection. Had it activated? And what about Sigaeo? How were those two doing? At that moment, Xiao Yefeng was filled with immense worry.
Moreover, according to the information obtained from the vampire, those who, like him, had received gene injections and altered their genes to survive had to receive a stabilizing hormone injection every two years. He didn't know the composition of this hormone, but he was aware that without it, one would gradually lose their sanity and become like the first generation of beastmen. No wonder Zhebie had to leave; his eyes were filled with helplessness.
After learning all the information, Xiao Yefeng sent all the spirits into the Zhao Yin Gate. His Yin Sin diminished like flowing water; however, he couldn't feel any happiness. At that moment on the Spirit Platform, only Zhang Chuanhai and Jin Ling remained to be sent away. Oh! There was also a fragment of Shikigami that Xiao Yefeng had found on the Spirit Platform. Although he didn't know if this fragment could help the Shikigami from Wa Country reincarnate, he still asked Zhang Chuanhai to take it along and deliver it to Yin Si for Yin Chai.
At this time, Zhang Chuanhai and Jin Ling stood beneath the Zhao Yin Gate, where a swirling vortex resembled an eye. After regaining a bit of composure, Xiao Yefeng turned to Zhang Chuanhai and said, "Brother Zhang! Thank you for your companionship all this time. Reincarnate and be a good person. I believe with your tragic past, you will surely be reborn into a wealthy family in your next life!"
Then Xiao Yefeng turned to Jin Ling and continued, "Jin Ling, although your actions in this life have been appalling, Brother Zhang has sacrificed his cultivation for you in the end, which should erase your Yin Sin. In your next life, you may not be born into a prominent family, but you should still find happiness."
"Mr. Xiao, we should be the ones thanking you! You have tirelessly helped us through so much and even faced life-and-death situations multiple times. Rest assured, when we reach Yin Si, we will definitely assist you!" Jin Ling replied.
Zhang Chuanhai then said, "Feng, Lingling is right; I should be the one thanking you. It's a pity I can't help you anymore, but I believe you will become an excellent Geomancer. I can see you're worried about your friends; however, you should also trust them."
Although Zhang Chuanhai's words weren't profound wisdom, they did resonate with Xiao Yefeng. Smiling slightly, he said, "Hehe, thank you both for your guidance. Without further ado, I wish both of you can reunite in your next lives and continue your past connections!"
As they waved goodbye to each other, the last two spirits were drawn into the Zhao Yin Gate. The gate slowly closed as Xiao Yefeng's consciousness returned. Sitting on his bed, he found it hard to enter a meditative state. He picked up his phone several times to dial familiar numbers but ultimately put it down each time.
Now that he understood the origins of Gene Warriors, should he really contact them? And what about her—the one he couldn't forget—had she accepted the Gene Serum? If she had accepted it, how could he possibly help them? With these doubts weighing on him, Xiao Yefeng did not make that call.
Little did Xiao Yefeng know that on the other side of the world, his former teammates were enduring inhumane torment. Inside massive glass machines appeared individuals who had once been seen at Mei Family Old Residence. The Demon Fox—who had fought against Xiao Yefeng—was now relentlessly attacking various instruments before it. Standing within the machine, the Demon Fox was no longer as it once was.
At that moment, the Demon Fox resembled a real fox, with a pair of oil-green eyes and bare limbs covered in dense fur. Its sharp claws and pointed ears, which had undergone a transformation, proved that it was not an ordinary being. The rocks before it, sliced apart by its claws, further confirmed this fact.
The same glass enclosure housed different machinery inside. Xiao Yefeng's former three teammates stood in line among the leading machines. The tall and braided Zhebie was relentlessly attacking the wall ahead with a marble in hand. Upon closer inspection, one could see tiny sesame-sized dots on the wall, some even smaller, yet the marbles accurately struck each black dot.
Xiao Yefeng's only female teammate, Na, was also undergoing testing. Inside a closed box, she twisted and contorted her body at angles beyond human capability, ultimately emerging from the other side of the box.
The strong black man, Sigaeo, struggled to walk while carrying a large stack of iron plates. With each step he took, he let out furious roars. His limbs grew increasingly muscular, with muscles visibly expanding at an almost alarming rate.
However, all these individuals were continuously bleeding from their sweat pores. Unbeknownst to them, as soon as blood appeared within the machines, it vanished instantly. Each time they felt their strength waning and were about to lose consciousness, a wisp of light green smoke would spray over them, reviving them to continue their unfinished tasks in an endless cycle. The switch controlling everything was located in an office high above, overlooking the entire scene.
A frail man stood before all the monitors, his bony fingers tapping incessantly on the metal control panel. Suddenly, a burly man appeared behind him, approaching step by step with a gaze filled with murderous intent.
