After hanging up the phone, I immediately opened my laptop. Although Tang Yuan's betrayal was unexpected, the information she inadvertently revealed gave me a new direction.
"Life Energy Trade..." I murmured, my fingers flying over the keyboard.
A faint cough came from Zhu Qi's room. I glanced back; his life force was still very weak. Time was running out.
The forum page was pitch black, with only a few lines of green characters flickering.
I typed "Life Energy" again.
The page suddenly refreshed, and a flood of trading information appeared. My pupils constricted sharply—this was all about black market transactions for Life Energy!
"500ml Life Essence, price negotiable."
"High purity Life Energy, long-term purchase."
"Experimental Subject recruitment, daily wage 2000."
My hands trembled slightly. Behind each piece of information was a living soul. Just as I was about to delve deeper into the search, a private message popped up.
"New face?" The sender was "Shadow."
I took a deep breath and replied, "Looking to buy some special items."
"What's your sincerity?"
I sent a processed photo of the Life Power Bank: "Is this enough?"
The other party fell silent for a few minutes. "In half an hour, at the abandoned factory in the south of the city. Bring your toys."
I glanced at the time: 2:37 AM. A perfect time for a deal.
After ensuring Zhu Qi's safety, I drove to the destination. The abandoned factory was in ruins, with moonlight filtering through the broken glass windows, casting mottled shadows on the ground.
"Don't move." A hoarse voice came from behind me. "Turn around and you'll die."
"I brought what you wanted." I raised my hands.
"Put it on the ground and push it over slowly."
I complied. Footsteps echoed behind me, and a shadow quickly picked up the Life Power Bank.
"Real deal." His tone was somewhat excited. "Li Xudong's stuff?"
My heart raced. "You know him?"
"Heh, who doesn't know that madman?" The shadow sneered. "He's a big client on the Dark Web, specializing in acquiring Life Energy."
"Why?"
"What else? To enhance physical abilities, of course. But..."
He suddenly lowered his voice. "Recently, it seems he has discovered a more thrilling way to play."
"What do you mean?"
"Do you know why he has been collecting Life Energy?" The shadow pulled out a black container from his pocket. "Because he is researching energy conversion. He compresses and injects the Life Energy of multiple people into one body."
I gasped in shock. "Is that true?"
"It used to be that it was mutually exclusive; one person could not input the Life Energy of multiple others without rejection." The shadow shook the container. "But...," he changed his tone, "why do you think I am telling you all this?"
A chill suddenly crept up my spine. I turned around sharply, only to see Li Xudong stepping out of the shadows with a group of men in black.
"Because," Li Xudong smiled, "this is a trap."
I glanced around; at least seven or eight men in black had surrounded me. Meanwhile, the shadow had somehow moved to stand beside Li Xudong.
"Dark Web will do anything for money!" Li Xudong scoffed. "You are too naive."
Just then, my phone vibrated unexpectedly. It was a message from an unknown number: "Ready. Proceed as planned."
A slight smile crept onto my lips.
Yes, Li Xudong, you think you're fishing.
But who can really tell who the bait is?
