Forty-nine rules of the end times

Chapter 304 Gene Mixing Experiments
"His injury..."

Shangyuan Zi looked at Xin lying on the ground. The hole in his waist looked horrifying, and blood was flowing continuously from his shoulder, which had been severed by the Shadow Blade.

"Ordinary people are definitely doomed, but those who have transcended should not die. Especially powerful ones like this."

Guan Tong didn't aim directly at vital organs, intending to spare his life for later interrogation.

However, judging from his behavior before being hit, he was prepared for the combo of "shifting and attacking in a small space at close range".

Intelligence is crucial in battles between Ascended beings.

This guard was present when Guan Tong assassinated the Divine Child; even if he only saw it once, he would still remember it.

It was with this in mind that he brought out the Hourglass of Time, an item whose information had not been leaked, to assist in the attack.

Judging from the results, it was necessary to do so.

Without that extra second of time freeze, the attack might have truly failed.

Guan Tong took out some bandages from her storage ring and used them to stop the bleeding on Xin. Then she used her shadow to bind Xin tightly.

"Are there any guards still alive?" Shangyuan Zi looked at the stone chambers.

"No, I only kept this one key one."

"...I'll go take a look at those cells."

Shangyuan Zi was eager to check if her biological mother was imprisoned in a cell.

Guan Tong then opened the market on the terminal panel and specifically searched for two types of functional items.

One type is a tool that interferes with teleportation.

Another type is a tool that interferes with telepathic communication.

These two types of props serve two purposes: one prevents escape, and the other prevents the use of things like "secret communication scrolls" that allow for remote communication within the brain.

He spent tens of thousands of Ascension Coins to buy the corresponding items and used them on Xin, who was in a coma.

He then used his shadow to wrap the person up and drag him to find Shangyuan Zi.

The latter was standing in front of the cell where the snake servant was being held.

The snake servant was now prostrate respectfully at the prison gate, as if ready to await Shang Yuanzi's command at any time.

"You don't know this guy exists?"

Guan Tong noticed the surprised look on Shang Yuanzi's face and asked her curiously.

“I didn’t mention it in the message before, but it kept banging its head against the wall, and the slight vibrations were transmitted to the ground, which is how I discovered this underground prison.”

“It… is a guard from the Yuzawa family that I transformed into before.” Shangyuan Zi clearly still remembered what this snake servant looked like before the transformation.

To her surprise, she remembered that the snake servant had been killed by the other guards before she left the mansion.

Why is it still alive?

"It's possible that someone from the Yuze family saved it," Guan Tong guessed.

Why would they do this? It couldn't be out of kindness.

"I don't think it was out of any good intentions."

With no immediate answer, the two left.

Before leaving, Shangyuan Zi gave it the command to "stand by," and the snake servant obediently lay on the ground without moving.

As they continued walking, passing by the cell where Suzuki was imprisoned, Yagi Yukari saw her miserable state and paused in her tracks.

Suzuki also noticed Uehara Yuki and Seki Hitomi outside, and an incredulous expression appeared on his scarred face.

Shang Yuanzi wanted to say something, but then she saw Guan Tong pick up a camera, seemingly recording a video.

"what are you doing?"

"Preserve the evidence of the crime," Guan Tong said. "This prison will definitely be exposed, so the whole world can see what the so-called 'God Child' and the Yuze family are doing behind the scenes."

The camera he had was from Wu. Although he had anonymously sent the explosion video to the official department of Beixing, he had kept the camera in his storage ring.

It comes in handy now.

Didn't Beixing send someone to tell him that he needed to prove there was a reason for the assassination attempt on the Divine Child?

Recording everything inside this underground prison would be powerful evidence.

At that moment, Suzuki suddenly stood up and lunged forward, grabbing the wooden bars and staring at Guan Tong with a terrifying expression: "Record it all! Shinji is a liar! He's a heartless demon..."

Seeing this, Uehara Shi could somewhat understand Suzuki's feelings.

When she first met the Divine Child, she was moved by his kind and approachable manner and his invitation to join the official Chosen Ones, saying it was to help protect the people. However, later, when the Divine Child asked her to transform ordinary people into snake servants, and cleverly claimed that this was to "allow ordinary people to contribute to the country," she completely lost faith in the Divine Child, seeing through his kind exterior to his demonic nature.

Upon hearing Suzuki's words, Guan Tong slightly lowered her camera and asked, "Would you be willing to be a witness?"

“I’ll do anything to punish that demon,” Suzuki said without hesitation.

"Well."

Guan Tong kicked the wooden fence in half, letting Suzuki out, and gave her some healing and recovery items to use.

"Thank you, thank you..."

Suzuki probably didn't expect Guan Tong to do this, and was somewhat at a loss.

“No need. As a sheriff in Sakura Inori, you were fully involved in everything that has happened recently, making you the best witness. Your testimony to identify the Misawa family’s crimes will be more credible.”

Suzuki nodded, then fell silent, simply following the two of them behind.

Guan Tong recorded videos with her camera as she walked.

Aside from Suzuki, the former An Tai people imprisoned in the cell are also strong witnesses.

Guan Tong had already made a plan. He would use the shelter properties of the pages in the "Wordless Book" to pack up all these people and take them away, ensuring that the Yu Ze family would not have the chance to silence them.

When they arrived outside the cells where the three were being held in communal custody, the people inside saw them and started shouting loudly.

After Shang Yuanzi stepped forward and negotiated with them, her expression turned extremely ugly, as if she had learned something horrifying.

She then informed Guan Tong of the situation.

"They...they said they were all professional scholars and researchers before."

"Oh? People like that are considered valuable in every country, so why are they locked up?"

"It's because they disagree with the Divine Child's plan and the task given to them by the Misawa family."

"Task?"

Uehara Yuki took a deep breath: "Gene mixing experiment. That's right, they said the Divine Child initiated this experiment beforehand, and the purpose was..."

Guan Tong listened silently.

“They are mass-producing beings like snake servants for the divine child to command,” Shangyuan Zi said with difficulty.

"Can snake servants be artificially created?" Guan Tong asked calmly. "Isn't this your unique bloodline ability?"

"They said that the Divine Child could also provide similar DNA... In short, many people died in the experiments, and many turned into monsters. Some of the researchers couldn't bear the pangs of conscience and refused to assist the Divine Child anymore, so they were all arrested and imprisoned."

“They said the God Child didn’t kill them because he didn’t want to waste their research capabilities. He also hoped they would ‘change their minds’ and face reality. But they all insisted that even if they were locked up here and tortured, they would never help the God Child with gene modification experiments again.”

After listening, Guan Tong felt very heavy-hearted: "Don't you think it's too tragic that your country is ruled by an evil family like Yu Ze?"

"This is indeed a tragedy for the entire Sakura Inori family!"

Uehara Yuki didn't speak, but Suzuki, who was behind her, chimed in with a voice full of resentment and despair.

"This country is beyond saving. It would be better if everyone died under that earthquake rule and sank into the sea with their homes!"

"Good people shouldn't be buried with evil people. But since I've encountered this situation, I won't just walk away."

Shang Yuanzi's heart skipped a beat: "What do you want to do?"

Guan Tong turned off the camera: "Physically eliminate the Yuze family and others, and eradicate the poison from this land. But to do this, we will definitely need the assistance of many of your locals."

“Shadow,” Suzuki asked, “you…you’re from the North Star, aren’t you? Why waste your time, and might even risk your life, getting involved in things here? What does it matter to you whether the people here are doing well or poorly?”

"We're all human, so what does it have to do with me?"

"..."

“People like Mizawa Jun don’t just harm their own people; the Antai people imprisoned in this jail are examples. What is his purpose in mass-producing snake servants? To play around with them? Isn’t it to use them as weapons to attack other countries when the opportunity arises?”

“If I didn’t know, there’s nothing to say, but now that I know about this, I will definitely not let it go. Because I am human, while the Yuzawa family are demons in human skin. If we don’t get rid of them, they will only endanger the survival of all mankind.”

After hearing his words, Suzuki paused for a few seconds before stepping forward: "I want to help, is that alright? I know I..."

“No problem,” Guan Tong said. “It would be even better if you could get more people from the Public Security Bureau involved.”

“I will also participate in this matter.”

Guan Tong was somewhat surprised by Shang Yuanzi's statement.

"you……"

"This project was started because of me. If I hadn't demonstrated my ability to create snake servants, the Yuzawa family probably wouldn't have even considered genetic modification."
