Chapter 123 The Manifestation of Heartbeats
"Prepare for injection." Fu Jinxing's voice was calm and even, yet carried an undeniable power.
He deftly unbuttoned his shirt cuffs, rolled up his sleeves, and revealed his well-defined forearms.
"Professor!" The senior assistant beside him paled and hurriedly stepped forward to try to stop him. "Seventy percent...it's high, but there's still a thirty percent failure rate! You are the core and soul of this experiment! What if...what if something goes wrong? What will happen to the whole project? We can wait until we find another suitable volunteer..."
“I can’t wait any longer.” Fu Jinxing interrupted him, his tone resolute, his deep eyes surging with an almost obsessive urgency and determination.
Josie's image flashed before his eyes.
His Xixi has been waiting for far too long in this cold "golden cage".
He couldn't keep her waiting any longer!
He wanted to have the power to protect her personally, take her away, and give her freedom!
A 70% chance is already extremely difficult; such experimental subjects are one in ten thousand.
It would be extremely difficult to improve by another ten points in a short period of time.
Therefore, he didn't have time to wait.
We have no choice but to take a desperate gamble.
The word "injection" was spoken with resounding force.
Seeing the unwavering determination in his eyes, the assistant opened his mouth, but ultimately retreated dejectedly and began preparing the injection procedure with a heavy heart.
The cool needle tip pierced the skin, and the pale blue catalyst was slowly injected into the vein.
A scorching torrent instantly swept over my entire body!
Fu Jinxing's body tensed up suddenly, veins bulging on his forehead, as if countless steel needles were piercing and churning inside his body.
On the screen, his vital signs fluctuated violently, and his energy readings soared and plummeted like a rollercoaster!
Compared to Xie Jue's devastating breakdown, Fu Jinxing's reaction was relatively "mild," but it was by no means easy.
His face was deathly pale, cold sweat instantly soaked through his back, his jaw clenched, and he let out a suppressed groan.
Consciousness teetered on the waves of excruciating pain, while chilling hallucinations of zombification coiled around it like venomous snakes.
But Fu Jinxing's strong willpower was like a pillar of strength, and he had only one clear thought in his mind: get through this! He had already missed so many years of Xixi's life, and from now on, he would be there for her!
This obsession relentlessly suppressed the rage within him, guiding that destructive power to painstakingly integrate and transform.
Time seemed to stretch out infinitely...
Under the watchful eyes of his assistants, the breathtakingly fluctuating curve finally... slowly stabilized at a new, powerful equilibrium point!
It was a success!
An indescribable sense of lightness and a powerful sense of control over the surrounding environment instantly replaced the pain.
Fu Jinxing slowly opened his eyes. He could clearly "feel" that his existence seemed to blend into the surrounding air and light, and that he could completely disappear with a thought.
He realized his special ability—invisibility!
For the first time, an overwhelming joy was clearly displayed on Fu Jinxing's usually calm and composed face.
His lips curled up, revealing a genuine, almost radiant smile.
He succeeded!
He was no longer the researcher who needed protection from others. From now on, he could stand by Xixi's side and shield her from all storms!
This joy was like boiling magma, and he desperately wanted to share it with Xixi.
His figure rippled in the air like water before disappearing completely.
Fu Jinxing quietly crossed the corridor and arrived at Qiao Xi's door.
He was like a child who had just received a beloved toy, eager to surprise her.
The door was ajar.
He remained hidden, like a shadow blending into the air, silently slipping inside.
Josie was standing in the center of the room with her back to the door.
She appeared to have just finished some kind of physical training, and was slightly out of breath.
Fu Jinxing approached her with a smile, but Qiao Xi turned and walked past him toward the door.
The door made a slight sound as she locked it from the inside.
Then, she crossed her arms and grabbed the hem of her shirt, deftly taking off the tight-fitting training suit that was stained with sweat.
Fu Jinxing had no idea he would witness this scene.
He instinctively wanted to look away and leave the room immediately.
But my body felt as if it were nailed to the spot by invisible nails, and my breathing stopped.
The soft lighting accentuated Josie's slender and graceful figure.
Her shoulder blades were beautifully shaped like butterfly wings, and her fair skin shone with a delicate, warm luster like pearls in the sunlight streaming through the window.
The grooves of the spine form an alluring shadow that extends downwards and disappears into the curves of the waist and hips, which are covered by close-fitting clothing.
It was a natural, breathtaking beauty, laid bare before him without any warning.
Fu Jinxing's brain went blank for a moment, and all his prepared words and plans vanished instantly.
He is not a gentleman, nor can he act like one at this moment.
A powerful, primal attraction seized him, like an invisible magnet, firmly fixing his gaze upon it.
What he saw before him far surpassed any of his midnight fantasies; it was so beautiful that it made his soul tremble.
This was the girl he cherished dearly, the one he held dear in his heart, and now she was presenting him with a beautiful scene he had fantasized about countless times in a way he had never dared to hope for.
The feeling of being moved has never been so tangible.
It's the dryness in my throat, the roar of my blood rushing, the dull pain of my heart pounding against my ribs.
He was like a greedy traveler who suddenly encountered an oasis in the desert. Knowing that this spring of life did not belong to him, he could not look away and could only gaze greedily at this fleeting miracle.
Josie seemed oblivious, casually draping her clothes over the back of the chair next to her.
She was only wearing close-fitting lace lingerie, which outlined her full and alluring figure.
She walked briskly towards the bathroom, even humming a tuneless melody softly.
The frosted glass door clicked shut, blocking the view.
Immediately following was a clearer rustling sound of clothes falling to the ground.
A few seconds later, the showerhead was turned on, and with a "whoosh," warm water poured down, the sound of it hitting the tiles and the body clearly audible. The rising steam quickly blurred the frosted glass.
He tried not to imagine how the water droplets slid across her smooth skin, nor to imagine her hazy figure in the misty air.
However, the more you suppress it, the clearer some images become in your mind.
He abruptly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled, trying to suppress the churning palpitations and overwhelming guilt in his chest.
The sound of water continued, like a gentle torture, constantly agitating his nerves that had just begun to calm down.
When he opened his eyes again, the shock and excitement he felt earlier had been replaced by a more complex and dark emotion in his deep eyes.
