"Feed the dog~ Feed the dog~"

In a dark room, Splitter placed all these bottles in the center of the secret room, then silently left.

Inside the room, countless people were bound hand and foot to chairs, seemingly in a coma.

Fan Ye opened his eyes to darkness. "Where... where am I?"

My head hurts so much.

It feels like my brain was gnawed by a dog.

Fan Ye shook his head and looked at his hands and feet, which were tied to an iron chair.

This scene, this situation, made Fan Ye feel like a prisoner in an interrogation room.

What happened?

Fan Ye tried to recall.

He remembered he was supposed to be on an outdoor team-building event with people from his company.

Then a white-haired man greeted him, and Fan Ye responded out of politeness.

Unexpectedly, after that, his vision went black, and he passed out.

So, was he kidnapped?

Fan Ye's gaze swept through the darkness. There were many people in the dark, all secured to chairs arranged in a circle.

In the center of the circle they formed, countless potions of various colors were placed, their purpose unknown.

Just then, the man next to Fan Ye woke up. "Ugh... why am I here? Where is this place?"

"Hey, what is this place!"

The man's voice was extremely loud, and his shout woke up the others.

A black-haired youth wearing glasses looked up. "I suggest you don't shout. If you attract the people who captured us, they'll make an example of you first."

Hearing the youth's words, the man frowned. "Huh?"

The bespectacled youth shook his head. "Hard to understand? Well, everyone has a brain, but not everyone uses it."

"Let me tell you what I know. Of course, I'm only saying this to those who can understand the current situation."

"I was in Hainan running a telecom scam when a white-haired person found me. I thought he was a police officer, but it seems he wasn't."

"He snapped his fingers, and I lost consciousness. I don't know what method he used; it could be drugs, or something else."

"I should be one of the first to wake up. It's been three hours and fifteen minutes since then, and my body is starting to feel hungry."

"I have a strict routine for meals and sleep. I should have just finished dinner, but I'm feeling hungry now. This means we've been tied up here for over 12 hours."

A voice from the darkness broke the silence after a moment. "You were in Hainan?"

"But I should be in Ha Long Bay, Vietnam."

"Ha Long Bay?"

"No, no, isn't this the Northeast?"

"What month is it?"

"It's almost September."

"Cold."

"What's the big deal? The temperature starts to drop quickly in the Northeast by September."

"Because autumn has arrived."

The bespectacled youth frowned. "It seems we all come from different regions."

"He was in Vietnam, I was in Hainan, and he's from the Northeast."

"So, who could capture all of us and bring us together in one day, traveling from the north to the south, crossing vast distances?"

"The Flash?"

No one could figure it out, and Fan Ye couldn't either. "I'm from Ningxia."

"Ningxia?"

"The North?"

"Okay, the range is even wider."

"So, assuming a group of people set out from here and traveled to various places to capture us, what would be their objective?"

"None of us seem like wealthy people. Why would they go to such lengths to bring us here?"

Everyone was also very confused; they couldn't understand why.

Just then, footsteps suddenly echoed from the darkness.

009, Splitter, appeared at that moment and walked directly to the center of the room.

"You are all calmer than I expected. As expected of the superior specimens I carefully selected. While you may not be as perfect as I am, you are qualified enough as secondary subjects."

The young man with glasses frowned, "Did you bring us here?"

Upon hearing this, the Splitter suddenly walked in front of the young man. "No, no, no, you should say 'Sir,' not 'you'."

The young man's eyelids twitched wildly. He suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Did... did you bring us here?"

The Splitter grinned upon hearing this. "That's right, that's much better. Good, I brought you here."

"You're much more sensible than I imagined. I thought you'd be furious like a stray cat or dog abandoned by its owner."

"For that, I specifically captured one more person, planning to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. It seems I've saved myself some trouble."

As the Splitter spoke, he looked directly at Fan Ye. "Oh, right, you're the extra one. Do you all want to see how I kill people?"

"I've already prepared it for you anyway, wouldn't it be a shame not to watch?"

Just then, a bald man suddenly spoke.

"Can you just get to the point? I hate it when people waste my time with trivial matters."

Slam!

The Splitter suddenly appeared in front of him and grabbed his throat!

"I said to use 'Sir.' If you can't remember, I can make an example of you."

The bald man's eyes widened, and the feeling of suffocation from his throat being gripped instantly overwhelmed him. "Sir... Sir..."

The Splitter loosened his grip upon hearing this. "Heh, I'll forgive you this time since it's your first offense."

"Since everyone wants to get straight to the point, I won't waste any more words. Do you think the world as it is now is really good?"

"You don't need to answer me. It's enough that you have the answer in your hearts."

"Everyone has thought about defying fate and changing things, but few have tried, because everyone rationally believes it's impossible."

"But there are still a small number who are willing to give it a shot, but what they don't know is that this is also a part of their destiny."

"Humans cannot control their destiny. Your destiny, your life and death, have never been up to you."

"But what if I told you that I can give you a chance to control your own destiny right now? How many of you can seize it?"

The crowd was stunned. Seeing this, the Splitter pointed to the potion on the ground.

"Do you see the potion on the ground? Drink it, and you will be reborn, transcend humanity, and control your fate."

"But the potion is limited, meaning some of you will not be able to obtain this power. For those who miss this opportunity, I express my regret."

"They are destined not to leave this place."

"Fate has never been fair. There is a button on your chairs. It will light up in three seconds."

"The first person to press the button will be released first. The rest, regardless of order, will be released in the second wave."

"Now, let's begin!"

One.

Two.

Three!

The moment the buttons lit up, everyone pressed them almost simultaneously.

But only the restraint on the bald man's chair was released. Clearly, he was the one who pressed it the fastest.

"Hoo..."

The bald man let out a long breath and walked in front of the Splitter.

The Splitter smiled at him. "Choose, first one."

The bald man, his muscles bulging, didn't say a word. He swung his fist and hit the Splitter!

"I choose to beat you to death!"
