Dark and empty.
The dizziness seemed to last for a long time, but in fact it was only a few seconds.
Shen Zhuo closed his eyes and his vision gradually focused. He found himself sitting on a wooden chair with a backrest, his hands tied behind the back. The abandoned warehouse was filled with the damp, salty smell of blood and rust.
A familiar and proud voice came from the front: "Hello, Supervisor Shen."
It’s Liu Sanji.
The short man with narrow eyes and a square face stood in the shadow under the fan. He probably felt that he had successfully completed the task assigned by Mr. Rong, and his expression was quite happy: "I didn't expect to see you again so soon. I want to interview you. Are you surprised?"
"..." Shen Zhuo spoke, his voice a little hoarse: "I was more surprised that the person I saw when I opened my eyes was you, and not that Rong Qi."
Liu Sanji immediately said: "Shut up, you are just an ordinary person, what qualifications do you have for Mr. Rong to come and see you in person!"
Liu Sanji spoke harshly, but Shen Zhuo just sneered: "If I'm not mistaken, your Mr. Rong was burned to charcoal three years ago, but because of his very special evolutionary direction, he should have some ability to revive his remaining cells. The reason why he is still in a wheelchair is probably because his evolution is not complete and his body has not reached its peak condition, right?"
Liu Sanji was about to scold him for being disrespectful to Mr. Rong, but Shen Zhuo didn't give him a chance to speak.
"He seemed to want to kill me, but he hid behind the scenes and only dared to send his men to stop cars and scam me. I guess this is probably because he is a coward who dares not kill or a disabled person who can't do it... We are just chatting, why are you shaking?"
"Shut up! Shut up!" Liu Sanji was shocked and frightened. "How dare you, a lowly ordinary person, disrespect Mr. Rong?!"
"You are just a D-class with inferior genes, not much different from ordinary people." Shen Zhuo said wearily, "Excuse me, please call that Mr. Rong out, you are not qualified to talk to me."
Liu Sanji was really overwhelmed by this continuous stimulation. He rolled up his sleeves and pointed at the back of his left hand: "What did you say, who has inferior genes?! I am already A-level now!"
"… "
Liu Sanji didn't wait for Shen Zhuo's surprised expression. He just stared at the blood-red A-level logo and exhaled for a while with an ambiguous meaning: "As expected... Second evolution."
"What?!"
Liu Sanji stared at him, but when he saw that Shen Zhuo did not answer immediately, he said after a while: "You may have been used as a disposable test subject by that Mr. Rong."
Liu Sanji was short since childhood, so he was very sensitive. He hated being looked down upon and was particularly sensitive to others' silent contempt. But Shen Zhuo, with his rare education, background and appearance, would give people a subtle but strong sense of ridicule even if he sat there and said nothing or did nothing.
Liu Sanji's feelings were particularly clear at this moment: "Don't talk nonsense, what kind of test subject? People like you who can't even evolve-"
"You secretly stole Mr. Rong's evolution source. After being captured, you had no choice but to assassinate me under his orders in order to save your life. The reward was that he let you evolve to A-level for the second time. But what you don't know is... Evolution is not free. Everyone has a limit to the intensity of evolution they can endure."
