"You're awake! How are you feeling? Do you remember who I am?" Dr. T fired off a barrage of questions, his eyes bloodshot with excitement, revealing a hint of madness. "Do you know how powerful you are now! You've transcended the realm of humanity. It was me who turned you into this! It was me!"

"Quick! Release him!" Dr. T commanded excitedly.

T quickly drained the liquid from the nutrient tank, removed the various tubes from the young man's body, opened the nutrient tank, and the young man was lifted out of the tank by a mechanical arm. T opened his abdomen and took out a clean towel. Dr. T took the towel, "I'll do it!"

Dr. T's fingertips trembled with excitement as he placed his hand on the young man's arm, kneading it downwards. He swallowed hard. "How does it feel? Do you feel anything unusual in your body?"

A peculiar feeling? The young man's gaze fell on Dr. T's hand that was groping his body, and his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly. A peculiar feeling? He felt... extremely uncomfortable, and he really wanted to chop off this eyesore of a hand!

The young man's gaze shifted to Dr. T's face. Noticing the young man's gaze, Dr. T looked up at the young man and was taken aback when he met the slow curve of the young man's lips.

The next second, he was pushed away by an invisible force, crashing heavily into the wall before falling to the ground. A metallic taste rose in his throat, and he opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of foul blood mixed with black clots.

Staring at the young man who stood motionless from beginning to end, Dr. T, after regaining his senses, showed no anger or resentment, but instead burst into maniacal laughter like a madman. "This is...this is telekinesis! Haha, this is telekinesis! You really are the strongest! You really are the strongest, hahahahaha!"

The laughter caused a tremor in his chest, and Dr. T coughed up another mouthful of blood, but he continued to laugh heartily. He was a genius, the greatest scientific genius ever!

The young man closed his eyes, calmly sensing everything outside the laboratory. His ears twitched a few times, then he suddenly opened his eyes and looked in a certain direction, which was the direction of the research institute and the X Project experimental base.

He quickly put on a clean set of clothes and dashed towards the experimental base like lightning.

As soon as he stepped through the base gate, the detector that had detected the young man's presence sounded an alarm. The heavily armed guards immediately pointed their weapons at the young man who had brazenly entered the restricted area. "Please show me your identification!"

The young man glanced at the guards, and to their astonishment, the weapon muzzle slowly turned. Before they could even figure out what was going on, a sharp, thick needle pierced their heads and began to throb.

The alarm blared, and the young man walked inside barefoot. His steps were unhurried, but his speed was astonishing, his figure turning into afterimages. Behind him were guards rolling on the ground with their heads in their hands, and cries of agony echoed wherever he went.

The vast base was unstoppable; the young man moved through this heavily guarded base, where not even a fly could get in, as if it were empty...

Faced with Xia Linyin's expectant gaze, Su Yu shook his head again, and Xia Linyin's clenched heart sank instantly. "Still can't find it?"

A sharp, persistent pain welled up in her chest, and Xia Linyin felt a tightness in her throat. "I don't care, just come out! Don't scare me, really don't scare me, Xiao Li, no matter what you become, I will love you and stay by your side. Come out!"

Love? What a yearning yet unattainable word. Su Jinyan leaned against the door with his arms crossed, looking coldly at the pained Xia Linyin. Deep in his eyes, however, was a heavy sorrow. It felt as if a huge stone was pressing on his chest, so heavy that it wanted to destroy everything.

Will I still love you no matter what you become?

Such a wonderful girl will never belong to him. He couldn't have her, and he met the right person at the wrong time. What should he say? Should he thank fate for its arrangement?

Lin Yin, oh Lin Yin...

Su Jinyan silently repeated the name in her heart, recalling the tragic endings in the game, a bitter taste lingering in her mouth.

Xia Linyin screamed hoarsely at the surroundings, "Xiao Li, come out here!"

Suddenly, an alarm sounded outside, and Xia Linyin's heart began to pound uncontrollably. Xiao Li...

Is it Xiao Li?

"What's happening outside?" Su Yu frowned and quickly pulled up the surveillance footage outside.

The scene shows a tall, thin, black-haired young man. All the soldiers rushing towards him are knocked away by an invisible force, falling to the ground, clutching their heads, howling and rolling around.

Seemingly sensing the gaze from the surveillance camera, the young man looked up at the camera, his exquisitely handsome face fully exposed on the screen. His gaze was sharp as ice, as if it could penetrate the display screen and pierce straight into one's heart.

"Xiao Li!"

No matter how his hair color, eye color, or body shape changed, or even if his facial features sometimes differed slightly, Xia Linyin could always recognize him at a glance. It was a deep-seated familiarity; with just a gesture or a look, she could know that it was her Xiao Li.

"Xiao Li, Xiao Li..." Xia Linyin turned and rushed towards the door, passing by Su Jinyan like a gust of wind. The wind carried her fragrance into Su Jinyan's nose. He used great willpower to resist reaching out to Xia Linyin, his lips pressed into a tight arc.

Her eyes flickered a few times, like starlight shattered on the ground. Su Jinyan lowered her long eyelashes, concealing the brilliance and sparkle.

Su Yu tilted her head to look at Su Jinyan's half-closed eyes, and slightly curled the corner of her mouth, "Crying?"

Su Jinyan gave Su Yu a cold look. Su Yu touched his cheek and said, "It seems that guy is not an NPC. I knew it. How could my game have such a big bug? And this game bug can't be fixed no matter how I try to fix it. In the end, it even killed the game."

Su Yu stretched and walked towards the door, "The question that has been bothering me for so long will finally have an answer."

Xia Linyin hadn't run far when she encountered Xiao Li in the corridor. The overwhelming aura emanating from Xiao Li instantly dissipated, and he opened his arms to Xia Linyin, a clean and shy smile appearing on his delicate and handsome face. "Sister, hug me."

His dark eyes held a hint of nervousness and anticipation, the kind of nervous anticipation one feels when wearing new clothes and wondering if their lover will be surprised or pleased.

Xia Linyin didn't hug him. Instead, she placed her hand on his soft black hair and ruffled it. Then she pinched his cheek hard, and her hand moved down his neck, shoulders and arms.

She wanted to be sure it was real, that Xiao Li had truly become a person and come to her side, and that it wasn't just a hallucination.
