191. Chapter 191: Dr. Xiao's Cultivation Product

Xing Tao heard the noises outside and felt a flicker of suspicion: "What does that mean? Could Lü Liang's Disease have planted this in me?"

Tang Cai smiled at the corner of his mouth, stepping backward slowly until he vanished into the darkness.

Xing Tao was filled with confusion and disbelief.

What does it mean? What is Tang Cai doing? If Lü Liang's Disease really placed that eyeball on me, doesn't that mean Lü Liang's Disease is one of the Demon Bear's people? Then why go out of their way to avoid Lü Liang's Disease? Confused, Xing Tao watched as the surrounding darkness gradually faded, turning back into a normal, dilapidated restaurant.

Or perhaps Lü Liang's Disease has undergone some change? One thing Xing Tao could now confirm: Su Jinlong was still alive, and Su Jinlong was with the Demon Bear—the Demon Bear had not harmed him.

On the contrary, according to Tang Cai, the Demon Bear had saved Su Jinlong; someone else was the one trying to kill him.

Xing Tao had no idea what exactly had happened in H City.

The archived records he could see were also extremely sloppy, written by Dr. Xiao.

When the Teacher was still alive, he often said: Dr. Xiao is not evil, but neither is he good.

He is a wolf trapped by his own heart, unsure how to save the world.

So now Xing Tao has reason to suspect that the Teacher was killed by Dr. Xiao.

Knock knock knock—

Soon after, Lü Liang's Disease walked in—he was the first to arrive at the scene.

Lü Liang's Disease himself was not strong, but after the invasion of the Wasteland Eye and Dr. Xiao's Spirit Potion, his strength had surged to B Level Initial, a significant increase.

At this moment, he frowned, alert to his surroundings, stepping slowly into the ruined shop.

Xing Tao did not reveal himself immediately; instead, he hid beside the corpses, leaving them exposed.

He wanted to see Lü Liang's Disease's reaction to this.

As expected.

Lü Liang's Disease stepped inside and was immediately stunned by the smell of blood; he looked down and saw scattered pieces of corpses on the ground.

The Demon Bear's true body had not come here; what arrived was merely the Ghost Energy projected by the Balance Scale Deployment. This man under Dr. Xiao's control had been frightened himself—otherwise, eliminating him would not have been so easy.

Fear is like maggots—it multiplies endlessly, and once it begins, it slowly consumes you whole.

"Huh?" Lü Liang's Disease was shocked upon entering.

He rushed forward and crouched down to examine the remains.

"Not Xing Tao. Then who is this? Could these be Night Watchers from J City?"

He did not recognize this person.

Hidden in the shadows, Xing Tao narrowed his eyes, observing every word and movement—Lü Liang's Disease's expression showed no deception; he truly did not know this person.

So is he innocent? Then why did Tang Cai say that?

What was Tang Cai's purpose in revealing his identity? Was he just trying to tell me that Su Jinlong is safe and with the Demon Bear?

"Who!" Lü Liang's Disease suddenly turned his head and shouted loudly.

Xing Tao was about to step out, but someone beat him to it.

It was a man in a black robe, just like the dead man with the crew cut—he also appeared to be a foreign mixed-race individual.

Hooked nose, high cheekbones, gray-brown eyes.

"Lü Liang's Disease," the man said calmly upon emerging.

Lü Liang's Disease frowned: "Who are you?"

He did not recognize this man, yet the man knew his name and called it out immediately.

The man slowly removed his black hood, meeting his gaze: "You may not know me, but you are a member of our organization."

As he spoke, he pulled out a Magnetic Pendant, its top suspended a small magnet.

The moment the pendant appeared, Lü Liang's Disease's head reeled—he felt dizzy and nauseous.

It was as if someone had bypassed his ears and spoken directly into his brain, causing him intense discomfort.

A voice was calling to him. His Ghost Energy was growing uncontrollable.

"W-what do you mean?" Lü Liang's Disease trembled as he asked.

The man smiled coldly: "I am John. I came here to ask you to help me kill Xing Tao."

Hidden in the shadows, Xing Tao narrowed his eyes.

Tang Cai was on the other side, concealed in darkness, protected by the Wasteland Eye—neither of them had noticed him.

Hearing this, Xing Tao was startled—the Teacher's suspicion was correct: Lü Liang's Disease has a problem.

"Impossible," Lü Liang's Disease suddenly shook his head, shocked: "What are you talking about? Xing Tao is my teammate—how could I possibly kill him? Who are you, and what are you doing here?"

As he spoke, Lü Liang's Disease could no longer contain himself and lunged forward.

He intended to use his own Ghost Energy to subdue the man—but the closer he got, the more his head spun.

Finally, he collapsed to the ground, kneeling and clutching his forehead, his mind clouded.

"What… what did you do to me?"

John crouched beside him: "Heh. I didn't do anything to you—you're just slowly awakening. Did you really think Dr. Xiao's injection had no side effects?"

"You are our first Cultivation Product. Let me be frank: your existence isn't just to kill Xing Tao—it's to destabilize the entire J City, so the Doctor can intervene."

"Cultivation Product, awaken."

He brought the pendant close to Lü Liang's Disease; it emitted a Spiritual Qi that gradually plunged Lü Liang's Disease into Ghostly Madness.

Slowly, low growls emerged.

His body began to change—eyeballs started falling out, and his skin turned green.

John's gaze burned with intensity; he retreated into the shadows, waiting for his moment.

Soon after, the Night Watchers of J City heard the commotion and rushed over, immediately noticing the transformation in Lü Liang's Disease.

"Brother Lü, what happened to you? Are you injured?"

"There's Ghost Energy fluctuating here—it must have just fought. Could Brother Lü have already clashed with Tang Cai? Is that Tang Cai's corpse on the ground?"

"No, this isn't Tang Cai—it looks like a foreigner."

Everyone gathered around, puzzled.

Suddenly,

A voice came from outside: "Everyone, be careful—don't get near him!"

Yuan Anguo arrived.

He was the temporary head of J City, B Level Peak in strength, also transferred from the Special Dragon Unit.

Hearing his voice, those who hadn't yet reacted felt a chill run through their bodies.

Next, Lü Liangbing, who had been crouching on the ground, now stood behind them.

His eyes were now suffused with green light, and his body was covered in keratinous growths; with each breath, streams of black Qi surged out.

He now looked like a monster.

Puch—

He threw a single punch, effortlessly piercing straight through one of the Night Watchers.

His chest was completely punctured.

Everyone froze in shock.

This is why the Demon Bear abandoned him—he's been transformed, turned from a Ghost Slave into a Cultivation Product.
