Chapter 1070 - 1069: Beyond Insanity
"Chu Ge, don't pretend to be indifferent to me. I know you're carefully listening to every word I say, calculating your own little schemes, but none of that matters. Since you've come to this kingdom belonging to me, Chu Chengrui, I'm not worried you can pull off any tricks."Chu Ge sat up from the bed, raising his handcuffed hands, supporting his cheek with his right fist, looking at Chu Chengrui's smug face. A trademark smile appeared on his face, but unlike usual, his smile now was cold, merely the action of smiling without any actual amusement in his eyes.
"It's like you know me so well. Who will have the last laugh... it's yet to be determined!"
"Yet to be determined? Haha, I really admire your confidence. So let me wait and see. But that's all for later; let's talk more about those things about you that really surprised me now."
"If you've got something to say, just say it." Chu Ge snorted coldly, tossing these four words out.
Chu Chengrui's gaze remained as fervent as ever, seemingly unaffected by Chu Ge's cursing attitude, perhaps even in a better mood.
"When you were critically injured and hospitalized, I obtained some of your cellular tissues and personally conducted detailed research and experiments on them."
Chu Chengrui paused, looking at Chu Ge with interest, "I've said this much, as the owner of these cells, you should be well aware of the results I obtained, right?"
Obviously, he didn't expect an answer from Chu Ge. Excitement, almost frenzied, burned in his eyes as he continued, "Exactly! It's the simply unbelievable ultra-strong self-repair ability!"
"Only then did I realize that meeting you was like finding a treasure! As long as I use you for experiments and integrate my research results over the years, it's possible... no! I will definitely explore deeper secrets of life, develop human functions to their extreme! Create one miracle after another! Manufacture one superhuman after another!"
"Once I acquire this technology, then! At that time, I! Chu Chengrui! can build a real superhuman army, flatten everything, control everything, create rules, transcend humanity!"
Chu Chengrui clenched both fists tightly, appearing almost crazed, immersed in a world of his fantasies, enjoying immense satisfaction.
Chu Ge sneered, "What a joke! You think I'll obediently cooperate with you? If I really can't have the last laugh and can't leave this cage, can't I just die?"
"A joke? I certainly don't think so."
Chu Chengrui raised his right index finger, shaking it slowly.
"First, I can responsibly tell you, you absolutely can't escape, then I must responsibly tell you, even if we take ten thousand steps back and say you have the ability to escape, I believe for certain people, you wouldn't do it."
As Chu Chengrui's voice fell, the image on the screen suddenly changed, showing a photo of Qin Ruojing and Qin Ruoying, then Tong Yaqi, Mu Lingshan, Ye Li, Luo Suyun, Shu Lulu...
Looking at these photos, Chu Ge instinctively clenched his right fist bound by handcuffs, with veins bulging on his forehead. Even though he already guessed Chu Chengrui would play this hand, he couldn't help but a flame of anger burst from his heart.
"Little Chu, have you seen these photos clearly?"
The image of Chu Chengrui was back on the big screen.
"I admit, I have no doubt you're a tough guy, and you're an extremely important experimental subject to me, so I didn't plan to trouble you with conventional means, but... these people are your beloved friends. You wouldn't want any avoidable accidents happening to them, would you?"
"Little Chu, actually, there's something I've always been quite curious about. A sentimental seed like you, becoming soft as silk by your beloved friends' sides time and time again, why... even when I've created many good opportunities for you, you've never had relations with Chu Shiyao?"
Seeing Chu Ge and Chu Shiyao's furrowed brows, yet silent, Chu Chengrui shrugged.
"I suddenly ask you, you might not quite understand, let me put it more simply, if Chu Shiyao could bear your child, wouldn't I then acquire another experimental subject with great research value? What a hugely significant matter. Now, can you answer my question?"
Chu Ge narrowed his eyes, his teeth grinding with creaks, veins on his forehead bulging in waves, instinctively clenching his fists tighter.
"Chu Chengrui! You're shameless!"
It was Chu Shiyao speaking. Even if she couldn't accept these nightmare-like events suddenly happening to her, she must accept them now. Her grievances and pain turned entirely into flames of fury.
Perhaps... not only "shameless," even "insane with madness" wouldn't be enough to describe the barefaced Chu Chengrui. Chu Shiyao felt like the biggest fool in the world!
She actually regarded Chu Chengrui as a family member. Especially in recent times, she even considered the sight of Chu Chengrui's kind smile as a great happiness, and she harshly scolded Chu Ge because of his suspicions towards Chu Chengrui!
What an irony!
The tear stains on Chu Shiyao's face had already dried up, and her big eyes were no longer filled with a misty haze.
There is no greater sorrow than a heart dead, there is no greater grief than tears unwept, this is nothing more than that!
"Shameless?" Chu Chengrui sneered and shook his head disdainfully.
"Chu Shiyao, you are indeed just like your father. When your father suspected me or your uncle of conducting human experiments, he was just as agitated and furious. I have been curious more than once, how can you be so naive? You clearly have the blood of our Chu Family flowing through you, so why is your vision always so narrow?"
"Isn't it just some people dying? To sacrifice for science, it is clearly an honor for those experimental subjects. From ancient times to now, which significant progress in human civilization hasn't involved sacrifice?"
"If you want to talk about the greatness of life, then let me ask you, when humans raise the butcher's knife towards other lives, where is that greatness? Ultimately, it's nothing more than the law of the jungle."
"If there really are so-called devils in this world, then... humanity must be the creatures closest to devils. It was in the past, it is now, and it will not change in the future."
"Moreover... a general's success is built upon the bones of the fallen. Which so-called 'great man' hasn't done despicable things? History is always written by the victors. Those things you call shameless, cruel, despicable, will all be covered up."
"Chu Shiyao, I'm telling you, as long as my research succeeds, then what history remembers won't be how many people died at my hands, it won't be that I once used several women's lives to threaten Chu Ge, rather… heh, whatever I want it to be, that is what it will be."
From the moment Chu Chengrui's image appeared on the big screen, he always wore various smiles, but at this moment, his smile was particularly eerie.
He slowly raised his right hand, fully extending his fingers as if he was holding something that enraptured him inside his palm. Then… under his intense gaze, his right hand clenched tightly as if trying to crush something, letting it seep into his body to become part of him.
Chu Chengrui kept his right fist clenched for a full minute. Then he slowly opened his fingers and raised his head to look again at Chu Ge and Chu Shiyao on the other side of the screen.
"Little Chu, I think you've understood everything I've said, right? Telling you so much might make you feel like it's bad news. Now I'll tell you some good news, which is…"
As he came to the point, Chu Chengrui paused again and gave a very sinister smile.
"Heh, forget it, you'll find out when the time comes. For now, perhaps I should give you some time to properly digest the information I've given you, and then have a good rest, so… goodbye."
After speaking, Chu Chengrui's image on the screen waved, then disappeared from Chu Ge and Chu Shiyao's view.
Chu Ge and Chu Shiyao stared at the large screen, each lost in their own heavy thoughts, remaining silent for a while in this cage-like silent room, with only the sound of their uneven breathing softly and clearly audible.
After an unbearably long five minutes, Chu Shiyao finally broke the silence first.
"Big Brother Chu, I'm sorry."
The word apologies was no longer enough to describe Chu Shiyao's feelings at this moment. Had it not been for her, Chu Ge would not have ended up in this situation. Who knew what kind of things the mad scientist Chu Chengrui would do.
In any case, even a toe could guess it wouldn't be anything good.
Chu Ge chuckled lightly and shook his head.
"There's no need to apologize. Since he's targeted me, he would move against me sooner or later. It was just a matter of time. In fact, I was already prepared to be noticed by someone when I woke up from my coma. Haven't you also known all along that my body is indeed different from normal people?"
Chu Shiyao sighed, a bitter smile spreading across her face. Of course, she knew Chu Ge was trying to comfort her, but it only made her feel worse. Just as she was about to say something more, the big screen suddenly lit up again, and Chu Chengrui's image reappeared.
"Oh, right, I'm really sorry, I almost forgot about something very important."
