Anomaly Point (Part 2)

"What a rare guest. You're her boss?" After a moment of shock, Shen Fei immediately set down his suitcase. Wesker's appearance this quickly had caught him completely off guard.

Whoosh.

Just as Shen Fei was about to say something more, Wesker's figure, seated on the sofa, instantly appeared before him, his right hand reaching for Shen Fei's neck. The speed was so fast that an ordinary person would have had no time to react.

Bang, bang, bang.

But unfortunately for Wesker, Shen Fei was no ordinary person. He immediately swung his fist to meet Wesker's palm, and the two exchanged blows at lightning speed. In a mere instant, their fists clashed dozens of times. Finally, each landed a punch on the other's shoulder, forcing both to stagger backward against their will.

Wesker retreated four steps, bracing himself with a hand against the sofa behind him to steady his body. But the sofa cracked under his tight grip.

Shen Fei, on the other hand, slammed directly into the wall with a loud bang, the wall trembling from the impact before he stopped himself. As Wesker stared at Shen Fei in shock, Shen Fei clasped his hands together. Suddenly, countless shards of glass seemed to appear in the air, spreading outward in all directions—the Mirror Dimension.

The sudden change made the cautious Wesker hold off on attacking again. He carefully observed his surroundings, and after finding nothing obviously different, his gaze locked back onto Shen Fei.

"As expected of Wesker. Chris and Jill sure are lucky," Shen Fei thought to himself, feeling the pain radiating from his shoulder.

The real world wasn't a game. With the speed Wesker had just shown, Chris wouldn't have stood a chance against him. If Wesker wanted to kill Chris and the others, he wouldn't even need a gun—just a knife would do.

"Interesting. No wonder she failed. You developed the Super Soldier Serum." Wesker rarely took off his sunglasses, revealing his red eyes.

The moment he tossed his sunglasses aside, he charged at Shen Fei again with blinding speed.

"Hmph." Watching Wesker rush at him, Shen Fei let out a cold laugh. He raised his right hand, and instantly the sofa, wall, and floor in front of him began to warp, forming a barrier that blocked Wesker's path.

Bang.

The barrier shattered into countless glass-like fragments, scattering through the air as Wesker punched through it with a single blow.

Objects in the Mirror Dimension weren't real—they were reflections. The walls surrounding the dimension were indestructible, being the reflection of an entire world, but the objects Shen Fei controlled weren't nearly as sturdy.

"Don't be so impatient. Wait a moment." As Shen Fei spoke, he waved both hands. The surrounding walls twisted like interlocking gears, and the once-cramped living room instantly transformed into a space resembling a training hall.

This sight left both Wesker and Ada stunned. Then they noticed something strange—through this room, they could see the outside world, as if the walls had turned into mirrors. Strangely, the people outside seemed completely unaware of their presence, going about their business as usual.

"My turn." Though Wesker was still unsettled—this was his first time seeing something like this—Shen Fei didn't care. He immediately launched his attack.

At this point, if Shen Fei used the Op-Op Fruit's abilities, he could end the fight instantly. Without energy-based defenses, the Op-Op Fruit's cutting ignored hardness—even Vibranium would be sliced apart.

With energy defenses, it came down to their respective strengths. Shen Fei had tested this both when he first entered Kamar-Taj and after leaving. Early on, he couldn't cut Mystic Items, but after leaving, he could already slice through ordinary ones.

But ending the fight that quickly was too boring. Finally meeting a superhuman like Wesker, Shen Fei wanted to test his own strength.

"So this is why villains always mess around," Shen Fei thought. He felt like one of those villains who could finish the job but chose to play instead.

Facing Shen Fei's assault, Wesker quickly calmed down. He didn't understand what was happening around him, but if he caught Shen Fei, he'd find out.

To Ada, watching from the side, the two seemed evenly matched—their speed, strength, and reactions appeared nearly identical.

"Huff, huff." After kicking Wesker away, Shen Fei took a few deep breaths. Fighting really drained more stamina than training.

"I thought I'd be way stronger than Wesker, but we're about the same." Sure, he'd landed plenty of hits on Wesker, but Wesker had landed just as many on him.

"I'm never doing this again. Let's call this one moment of indulgence." Feeling the pain in his body and head, Shen Fei made up his mind.

Once decided, Shen Fei immediately retreated, a combat knife appearing in his hand.

"Room, Trafalgar Law's abilities." As Wesker charged, Shen Fei swung the knife. In an instant, Wesker's body split into six parts, flying apart in the air—his limbs, head, and torso separated in a single moment.

Then Shen Fei waved his hands, casually reassembling Wesker's limbs and torso, while his head floated over to Shen Fei.

"Seen enough? Time to go." With that, Shen Fei put on the Sling Ring and opened a Portal back to his own room, followed by Ada, who was dragging Wesker's body.

"Now we can talk properly, Mr. Wesker." After placing Wesker's head on a nearby table, Shen Fei said calmly.

"Still alive like this. Quite a peculiar ability." Whether resigned to his fate or not, Wesker's expression was remarkably calm.

"You adapt fast. But I suppose that makes sense—you're a ruthless man. Not everyone would bet their own life on a future."

"You seem to know a lot. I don't recall ever saying my name was Wesker." Wesker's head smiled.

"Sloppy." Shen Fei immediately realized his mistake, but it didn't matter now.

"Of course. One of the masterminds behind the Raccoon City incident. I nearly died there—how could I not investigate thoroughly? You should understand your situation. This time, you're dead for sure."

"Since I'm dead anyway, why would I give you what you want?" Wesker was sharp—he could guess that Shen Fei wanted something from him.

"You know there's something called Truth Serum, right? With a full body, you might resist it. But with just a head, there's no way. Hypnosis works too. I have plenty of ways to get what I want from your mind. I just don't want the trouble. Wouldn't it be easier for both of us?"

"What do you want?" After a brief silence, Wesker spoke.

"Everything you know. I want it all." Shen Fei replied.

"Greedy. Fine. But I have one condition—kill Chris, and I'll tell you everything I know." Wesker sneered.

"Impossible." Shen Fei shook his head directly. "You're in no position to make demands. And honestly, I don't absolutely need what's in your head. From what I know, you've been researching for years without getting a viable Super Soldier Serum. Your success was just because you're special. And I've already made some progress."

"That's my only condition. If not, kill me." Wesker closed his eyes.

"Forget it. Chris is my friend—there's no way I'd kill him. Since you won't talk, don't blame me." Shen Fei briefly considered another method that might threaten Wesker, but he gave up the thought. It was too low.

As he'd said before, with the Op-Op Fruit's abilities, there were other ways to extract what he wanted from Wesker's mind.

"I don't know what you're after, but maybe I can help." Ada, who had been silent until now, spoke up.

"Do you know the origin of the Umbrella Corporation's Progenitor Virus?" Shen Fei turned to Ada.

"I don't. But I can investigate. I just need two things." Wesker's hand and one of his eyeballs—that was what Ada needed. With Wesker missing, these two items would let her enter the Umbrella Corporation's most secret base.

"I'll go with you." After a moment's thought, Shen Fei said.

"Fine."
