Chapter Summary: "Future's Child Is Here—Doctor, Why Haven't You Come Out to Die?"

1. Key Plot Points and Events

• The group (Bai Ye, Li You, Xiao Yi, Li Xiao) races through Forbidden Rain, which drives people insane—the infected dance wildly, believing they hear music, while the group remains unaffected.
• Bai Ye's shapeshifting pet Shushu (a white dove) guides them east toward Doctor's hidden laboratory.
• Inside the lab, Doctor confirms [Spirit Bridge] is essentially complete. The Forbidden Domain's opening is now inevitable, using souls of two Ten Kings-level beings and all Fortune Commerce Association citizens as catalysts.
• Doctor reveals his plan to sacrifice everyone in the laboratory to harvest souls faster, since sending people out to kill is too slow.
• Gao Wenyuan hesitates at killing his long-time colleagues and subordinates, but Doctor convinces him with the promise of eventually finding a formula to resurrect the valuable ones. Gao Wenyuan leaves to kill everyone via implanted chips.
• Doctor detects intruders and notes the laboratory's location has been discovered.
• The group arrives at the lair. Li Xiao boldly announces himself: "Future's Child is here! Doctor, why haven't you come out to die!" Bai Ye jokes that Li Xiao might scare Doctor away.

2. Character Developments

• Doctor: Cold, calculating, and utterly detached from human life. Views all deaths as trivial sacrifices for truth and science. Pragmatic and composed even under threat.
• Gao Wenyuan: Ruthless toward outsiders (his father Gao Shanhe, the citizens) but genuinely struggles to sacrifice his own people. His devotion to Doctor allows him to rationalize the betrayal.
• Li Xiao: Bold, arrogant, and eager to prove himself. Openly imitates Bai Ye's confidence; the rain has boosted his courage further.
• Li You: Cautious and pragmatic—wants to find a back entrance, recognizes the massive threat Doctor poses.
• Bai Ye: Genuinely calm and teasing. His humor ("What if you scare Doctor away?") reveals his unshakable confidence even against a Ten King.

3. Significant Themes

• Madness vs. Sanity: The infected perceive the sane as "deaf souls"—a blurring of who is truly mad.
• Sacrifice for Science: Doctor's twisted philosophy that life and death are "trivial matters" before truth.
• Ambition vs. Humanity: Gao Wenyuan's conflict between loyalty to his teacher and his lingering humanity.
• Overconfidence: The group's arrogant approach contrasts sharply with the danger of confronting a Ten King.

4. Character Interactions

• Bai Ye & Li Xiao: Bai Ye's calm confidence enables Li Xiao's boldness; their exchange ("What if you scare Doctor away?" / "You're right, Brother Ye") shows the group's morale being driven by Bai Ye's unflappable attitude.
• Doctor & Gao Wenyuan: A master-disciple dynamic built on fanatical trust. Doctor merely has to speak, and Gao Wenyuan obeys—even to the point of slaughtering his own people.
• Bai Ye & Shushu: A bond of trust; Shushu guides the group unerringly to the target.

End of Chapter. The group stands before Doctor's door, unaware that their plans to deal with him are already anticipated.
