Hearing Ma Xingkong's words, Luo Fengshan's expression darkened slightly.
He slowly sat back down in his chair.
"What was sacrificed?"
Big Black looked at Ma Xingkong in confusion.
But Ma Xingkong looked at Luo Fengshan, as if he did not even have the right to explain the matter.
Only after a long while did Luo Fengshan speak with difficulty.
It was as though he had opened a bloodstained old photo album, filling the air with grief.
"Ah... Liu Qianfeng originally had three children, just like me.
And they were all boys.
Liu Qianfeng himself was a Mighty-Species Person, and his wife was also a Subspecies.
But all three of his children, without exception, were Mighty Species!
That meant he likely possessed a gene capable of increasing the probability of genetic optimization.
One had to know that human genetic optimization had always involved tremendous randomness. If he could solve this problem, then he could achieve genetic uniformity, or controllable genetics.
In that case, after merely a few decades of generational change, the entire Federation's population could become genetically unified, and society could return to a state free of discrimination.
At least... that was what he envisioned.
But his only test subjects were himself and his own family!
Two of his children, and even his wife, died in those endless experiments.
That obsessive, utterly deranged bastard! He destroyed his own family with his own hands! Destroyed himself."
At this point, Luo Fengshan slammed his fist against the armrest. Though he cursed Liu Qianfeng as a bastard, his eyes were filled with endless sorrow and memories.
Tears also flowed from the corners of Ma Xingkong's eyes as he sat upright and listened to Luo Fengshan recount the story of his old friend.
He, too, recalled Professor Liu.
A man worthy of the word
