Chapter 431: Experimenting with the Deceased

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After a brief moment of contemplation, Su Bai figured out who had taken the corpse away.

It was no other than the person who had descended the mountain slightly later than Lu Le’s group and had inexplicably appeared before them.

Han Yanyan taking the corpse away didn’t surprise Su Bai at all. He was only somewhat surprised by the intention to use the corpse for something.

Especially with so many bones on the mountain, apart from the Monsters attacked by Su Bai, there were also bodies. Those included the bodies of humans and demonic Beasts.

The man Su Bai brought was continuously trying to escape. But Su Bai wasn’t giving them any chances.

“Chief, I’ve brought a person here. Do you recognize him?” Su Bai asked.

In essence, one corpse wouldn’t bring the people of Mount Tragic any peace. Su Bai bringing this person here wouldn’t exactly soothe their anger, but it could be seen as a gesture of reconciliation.

The village chief looked closely at the person. He finally remembered and said, “This person was with Han Zhengzhi. He was the one who tried to take control of Mount Tragic the last time.”

Su Bai clicked his tongue and said, “And you still want to pretend to be a victim’s family member?”

The man forced a smile.

“Enough with the act. What exactly do you intend to achieve by using the corpses?” Su Bai questioned. He actually already had an answer in his heart and the answer was almost on the tip of his tongue.

However, Su Bai didn’t want to say it himself. He wanted to hear it from the man. The answer was quite cruel, to the point that even Su Bai found these people deranged and inhuman.

The man couldn’t perceive the waves in Su Bail s heart. He was just looking at Su Bai’s expressionless face, trying to guess whether Su Bai already knew what they were doing.

Indeed, the man confessed without hesitation, “Correct, we’re using the corpses of deceased Monsters, Beasts, and humans to start refining pills.” Those pills could stimulate the latent potential of Beasts. Of course, if given to Monsters, they would become even more powerful.

However, now Su Bai was well aware and he directly kicked the man. He asked again, “Are you really just using the corpses of the deceased?”

Upon hearing Su Bail s words, the man burst into laughter and asked, “Haven’t you already figured it out?”

The implication was that even if there were no corpses, they would still use live ones.

“Does this mean that when you brought the spirit Beast here to provoke a fight, you actually wanted to drink the blood of these people?” Su Bai once again made the question explicit.

The village chief exploded in anger upon hearing this, “You people are simply despicable! Using our own kind for experiments?”

After hearing that, the man burst into laughter and said, “Aren’t you pleased? This is for the sake of humanity. Making humans tame more powerful Beasts, and they can then protect the weaker humans!”

This time, before Su Bai could take action, the village chief had already taken action and hit the man. The village chief was so pained that his hands trembled. He was trembling all over, and he directly slapped the man.

The village chief howled, “How dare you say that! “We sacrificed so many people in our village just to feed your Beasts?!”

Murong Xue was shocked. She didn’t know what to say. She could only stare at everything before her.

The man showed no remorse at all. He seemed like someone who, once in Su Bai’s hands, would let Su Bai do as he pleased.

However, Su Bai noticed something. That man was obviously not afraid of death. What Han Zhengzhi didn’t dare to speak, this man had openly told them everything.

Su Bai said, “It seems your position within the organization isn’t low, huh? It might even be higher than Han Zhengzhi’s.”

Lu Le looked at Su Bai with astonishment. He thought, ‘What was going on? Wasn’t Han Zhengzhi quite formidable? Why did it seem like even his underlings were more capable than him?’

After hearing Su Bai’s voice, the man, who had been in pain just a moment ago, now felt no discomfort. He looked at Su Bai excitedly. “You’re truly intelligent! At the very least, you’re much smarter than that idiot Han Zhengzhi. But you’re mistaken about one thing. My position isn’t high. It’s just higher than that idiot! ”

Su Bai narrowed his eyes and thought, ‘Everything was clear by now. Han Zhengzhi was nothing more than a puppet. Those people around him were not his subordinates at all. Instead, they were there to supervise him.’

When the man was about to commit suicide, Su Bai intercepted him. He even fed the man a pill he had with him.

“Chief, this person is in your hands now. You can deal with him as you see fit!” said Su Bai.

The village chief’s eyes lit up and said, “What if someone came to rescue him? Just like that corpse just now.”

Su Bai chuckled, “It’s fine. I’ve given him something to eat. No matter where he goes, we can track him.”

This was one of the rare times Su Bai lied. But it wasn’t a big issue. He had given the man something to eat to make him suffer. He would start to think of death, yet couldn’t die. In this cycle, he would eventually collapse.

As for tracking, as long as Su Bai wanted, he could certainly track anyone.

Those following Su Bai naturally understood his style of doing things.

Before leaving, Murong Xue glanced at the man. She asked Su Bai, “Don’t we need to track Han Zhengzhi’s corpse? Since they took Han Zhengzhi’s body away. There must be some secret behind it.”

That was indeed the case. However, the more this was the case, the more Su Bai felt that letting the secret pass was the better option.

After all, a living person was still in their hands.

These organization members didn’t come to save a living person but instead chose to save Han Zhengzhi’s corpse. This was somewhat suspicious. So, the real issue was still with Han Zhengzhi.

Su Bai wanted to obtain more information about Han Zhengzhi from Olive because all information about Han Zhengzhi had been deleted by the military. One could tell that if it wasn’t the military who deleted it, then someone else did.

In short, there were some secrets about Han Zhengzhi that the organization didn’t want Su Bai to know, and the more they were hidden, the more curious he became.

Su Bai and his group returned to the base. That man remained in the village. Just as Su Bai was leaving, a shadow crossed his face. The pain all over his body prevented him from uttering a word.

That man knew it was because of Su Bail s drugs.

“Who are you people? I don’t think you’re from the Beastmaster Association at all!”

“Your organization, what are you exactly?”

The village chief’s eyes gleamed, then quickly dimmed, and said, “Thank goodness, it’s finally over..”
