"Sonoko, don't be afraid. I'll come save you right away." Xiu Yi smiled, tears streaming uncontrollably down his face.
Why?
Why did he have to suffer all this misfortune?
Why him?
He only wanted to live a good life with his girlfriend. Was even that impossible?
"Xiu Yi, I can't go on. I've already been polluted. I can't go back." Sonoko's voice rang out, her face still carrying that sweet smile.
"No, that can't be true. There has to be a way, Sonoko." Xiu Yi looked at Sonoko in panic, then turned toward the Diamond Lord watching the spectacle from nearby.
"My lord, please save Sonoko. I'll pay any price." Xiu Yi looked pleadingly at the Diamond-rank lord.
"Oh? Tsk, tsk. What devotion." The Diamond-rank lord spoke with a smile.
"I don't enjoy doing that sort of thing. You like her very much?" A cruel smile curled across the Diamond Lord's lips.
"Don't worry. I'll send you regular updates about her from now on." The Diamond Lord looked at Xiu Yi.
Xiu Yi's pupils contracted as he looked at the Diamond Lord. The next moment, he passed out. Before losing consciousness, he saw Sonoko being taken away.
When Xiu Yi woke up again—
He found himself lying naked on an operating table.
A group of people in white lab coats stood around him.
"The target has awakened. The experiment may begin." A completely emotionless voice sounded.
Xiu Yi felt pain—terrible, excruciating pain. His chest was forcibly cut open.
The so-called experiment was to verify Xiu Yi's own abilities.
"What terrifying regenerative ability. It's simply inconceivable. And this guy's vitality is astonishing. Even with his abdomen cut open, there isn't the slightest sign of weakening." A researcher in a white lab coat looked at Xiu Yi with a trace of Fanaticism.
