.........

That bastard Shen Chengyin, it wasn't enough for him to show off in the mental space, he had to keep tormenting him back in reality.

When Su Han went to see Pan Taining the next day, there was a bright red mark on her neck.

The label that some childish person put on him was announced to the world, and no matter what Su Han said, he refused to remove it, forcing Su Han to wear a thin turtleneck sweater to cover herself up completely.

Pan Taining performed a blood test on Su Han as usual, and did not administer any further medication after the test.

Su Han lowered her eyes, and in her peripheral vision, Pan Taining's expression was as calm as a stagnant pool. It wasn't feigned kindness, but a deathly stillness devoid of any emotion.

His heart sank suddenly.

He pretended to be friendly and took half a step forward.

Pan Taining happened to turn around to get a reagent bottle from another shelf. In the process, Su Han didn't even touch his sleeve.

The room was completely silent.

The only sound in the room was the crisp hum of glass bottles clinking together.

Su Han withdrew her hand from the air, staring intently at Pan Taining, her voice no longer as intimate as before:

"Doctor, what have you discovered?"

"Oh?" Pan Taining turned his head, a half-smile on his face. "What could I possibly find? That the traces of the marking agent have completely disappeared from your body?"

Pan Taining looked at Su Han with a smile, but there was not a trace of warmth in his eyes.

"Aren't you curious about when I broke free from mind control?" Su Han curled the corners of her lips.

It feels so good to not have to pretend anymore.

"Mind control is impossible to eradicate. I've been separated from you for three years, so my influence on you has certainly decreased a lot." Pan Taining sighed. "It's a pity. I thought you were still useful, but now you don't even have the last bit of value left."

Su Han approached Pan Taining step by step, her eyes filled with growing murderous intent.

Pan Taining quickly discovered that his mental and time-based abilities were ineffective against Su Han, but the man remained calm and spoke slowly as Su Han approached him:

"Good boy, stop."

Suhan was startled.

The brain takes the lead in controlling the body and forcibly stops it.

The doctor is right, and he must obey.

"What gives you the courage to think you can defy me now?" Pan Taining's tone was cold. "The effect of the mental imprint has indeed weakened, but it won't disappear. SUH-37, please have a clear understanding of your own identity."

Su Han opened his mouth, then closed it again. He desperately tried to control his muscles, wanting to swallow back all the words that were about to come out.

"...Yes, Father."

He was trembling all over, his body and mind fighting frantically, his soul almost being torn out of his body.

Pan Taining watched Su Han's reaction with satisfaction; everything was going according to his plan.

An experimental subject dared to dream of escaping his control—what a fool's dream.

"Alright, your duty is now complete. Go back now, and you might be able to see Shen Chengyin one last time."

Su Han's gaze remained calm. "What do you mean?"

"He killed so many people, he should pay with his life. You should know that Shen Chengyin still has memories of his past life; this kind of person is no longer of any use to you."

Everything he couldn't control had to be destroyed; only then would the plan succeed.

The pain is not physical pain, but pain that comes from deep within the mind.

Su Han gritted her teeth and turned around.

His mind cleared considerably after he looked away from Pan Taining. He dared not dwell on what Pan Taining had just said; the two sides had already broken off all pretense of civility, and whoever survived to the end would be the winner.

Su Han pushed open the door and left.

Pan Taining watched Su Han's retreating figure and sighed deeply.

SUH-37... After all, he's a kid I've watched grow up since he was little, it's a real shame to ruin him like this.

But a useless person who can't awaken superpowers is of no use to be kept around.

Su Han left the research institute and returned to his and Shen Chengyin's residence.

Every time he went to see Pan Taining in the past, he would kiss Shen Chengyin's forehead and tell him to wait for him to come back.

The longest it has ever lasted is never more than an hour.

As Su Han drew closer to the villa, the withered vines around his wrists and waist gradually came back to life, eventually wrapping tightly around him.

People, lots of people.

Unable to suppress her violently pounding heart, Su Han could only run forward desperately.

Pan Taining used them to get rid of the people on the list, then turned around and betrayed them.

Although they didn't actually kill anyone to cover it up, they did manage to hide the people on the list using a clever trick, making them appear to outsiders as if they had been murdered.

Half of the superhumans from Dawn Base arrived, and the house where Shen Chengyin was located was surrounded by a dense swarm of superhumans.

Su Han didn't even know if Shen Chengyin was still waiting for him in the same spot.

Some people with sharp eyes spotted Su Han from a great distance.

"Shen Chengyin's accomplices are here! Seize him!"

Boom!

With a deafening roar, the ground in front of Su Han suddenly caved in, forming a crater ten meters in diameter. Immediately afterwards, pale blue smoke was blown into the crater.

Su Han had seen it before; it was a gel that could disable supernatural abilities. Tang Qiao had used the same method in Laoshan'ao Village before.
