“Ah——!”

The young man who was sitting at the bar and drinking suddenly took a deep breath.

His breathing was so violent that the air rushed through his throat so quickly that it was so sharp that it sounded like a whistle, making people suspect that he was going to pass out.

Chen Ci clutched his left chest tightly, his five curled fingers turned white at the knuckles due to the extreme force, the fabric of his clothes was wrinkled into a ball, and even the hem was pulled out from the belt, revealing a small section of his white waist.

"What's wrong?!"

When Chen Ci heard Fu Tianhe's panicked question, he also wanted to know what was wrong with him, but at this moment, he couldn't make a sound.

There was a sharp pain in the area of ​​my heart, as if something had penetrated it and smashed it to pieces. Although no blood spurted out, it seemed as if all the heat in my body was quickly taken away.

What on earth is going on?

Chen Ci's vision kept going dark. He relied on his other hand to hold on to the bar, and with the support of Fu Tianhe, he did not fall to the ground.

The intense pain attacks the nerves and the brain, threatening to crush the soft tissues in the cranial cavity into a mess.

Chen Ci couldn't even control his breathing. He was shaking violently all over. Amid Fu Tianhe's loud shouts, he fell into endless darkness.

I don't know how much time passed.

The pain followed me like a shadow, gathering in my chest and wrapping around my trembling heart. It could no longer maintain a steady rhythm of 75 beats per minute.

Disordered breathing and dislocated senses were feelings Chen Ci had never experienced before. He felt as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and he could even feel the slightest warmth radiating from his shoulders.

That was the chip implanted in him by Shafla. Once his physical indicators fluctuated drastically, the chip would send a signal requesting rescue.

Chen Ci struggled to gather his thoughts. He didn't know what had happened, but he knew he couldn't just let himself be drowned in pain.

He must... wake up soon.

Maybe only a few minutes passed, or maybe several long hours passed.

The pain that was so severe that it seemed to tear his heart apart finally subsided a little, and Chen Ci began to breathe smoothly.

He tried hard to keep his breathing steady and long, to recover his body as quickly as possible, while silently accumulating strength.

Chen Ci understood that the physical pain he was suffering would make his mind more transcendent and clear. At this moment, he could not see or hear the situation around him, and he instinctively wanted to release his mental power to explore.

But nothing happened.

Chen Ci was surprised to find that no matter how hard he tried, he could not release his mental power as smoothly as usual. Since he was fifteen or sixteen years old, he had been controlling that mysterious energy very well, just like an invisible limb, a part of his body.

Now his sea of ​​consciousness was empty, as if it had been completely drained, leaving only desolation.

No, it's not dried up, but... it's being forcibly suppressed!

What is going on?

Even faced with such a predicament, Chen Ci did not panic.

He was thinking intently. Just a second before the incident, he and Fu Tianhe were drinking together in the bar, and he was trying to find out the news about the pipeline concentration area from other people.

They had been in the pub for nearly two hours. After Chen Ci refused Fu Tianhe's crepe with maple syrup, he kept drinking the light wine in his hand.

Unlike Chen Nian, he did not have the habit of drinking. At most, he would just take a sip just to pretend.

So it is unlikely that there is something wrong with the wine. The wine glass never left his sight, and his mental power was quietly spreading. It is impossible for someone to add something to it when he was not paying attention.

Could it be that...something went wrong with Chen Nian?

This is the only possible scenario.

What happened to Chen Nian?

Chen Ci couldn't imagine, but he had a vague guess that the intense pain he was feeling might be caused by telepathic induction between the twins.

If this is the case, then Chen Nian...

No, we must ask Shafley immediately.

Chen Ci took a deep breath silently, and finally opened his heavy eyelids.

However, what he saw was not the concerned face that Fu Tianhe was familiar with, but a row of metal railings standing in front of him.

Here is...

Chen Ci raised his eyelids. Now even his eyeballs were swollen and painful. The slightest movement brought severe soreness. More scenes were captured. In the dim light, everything had unclear double images.

The room was dark and had a high ceiling. Chen Ci couldn't see the end of it from his current position. It was square in shape and empty, with dilapidated walls, like an abandoned area.

He was imprisoned in an iron cage. The top and bottom of the cage were made of raw stones that could block mental power, so he could not perceive anything.

"You're awake."

Chen Ci thought he had done it quietly, but he was discovered just ten seconds after he opened his eyes.

But this voice sounds somewhat familiar.

As if he knew what Chen had said, he no longer had the energy to look up. Instead, he began to walk towards the iron cage, one step at a time, sometimes light and sometimes heavy, as if he was dragging two completely different legs.

Chen Ci saw a pair of shiny handmade leather shoes. The dark gold reflected by them could reveal his shabby appearance at that moment. The pants on his left leg were obviously skinny, in sharp contrast to his right ankle.

At this moment, Chen Ci realized his identity.

The man stopped in front of the cage. He leaned over, and passed the metal cane through the gap in the iron cage, accurately lifting Chen Ci's chin.

Chen Ci was forced to look up and saw a middle-aged man with fluffy golden hair. He had a kind smile on his slightly plump face, but under the current circumstances, it was really hard to have a good impression of him.

His neck was covered with metal until it was hidden by his collar. Compared to the last time we saw him, his prosthesis had been replaced with a new model. I don't know if its range has been expanded.

donald joseph.

It was indeed him.

Before they left Sanshui, Fu Tianhe was tracked down by the collector's men and was finally able to escape after being temporarily detained in a detention center. Donald must have heard the news about Moon Rain and came to Sanshui.

After all, Donald had personally experienced the strength of Chen Ci's mental power, and it was easy for him to infer from this extremely rampant style and various details that it might be related to the two of them.

In recent days, Chen Ci's inexplicable feeling of being monitored did not come from Self-Biao, but from the fact that he was secretly being watched by Donald.

"You didn't expect us to meet again, did you?" Donald said with a smile, "After all, to you two, I am probably just an ordinary sucker, the first pot of gold for you to dominate the dungeon."

“…”

Chen Ci was unable to speak for the time being as the intense pain disturbed other parts of his body. However, even if he could speak now, whether he was willing to pay attention to Donald was another matter.

Donald lifted Chen Ci's chin higher in a gentlemanly manner and looked into his amber eyes. "I guess you really want to know how I got you here. It's a pity that you have no right to know."

Chen Ci could guess the general idea without Donald saying anything.

He suddenly fainted in the pub, and Fu Tianhe must have rushed to take him to the hospital.

In fact, Donald's men have been following them secretly the whole time. How could they not take action when they saw such a great opportunity?

Fu Tianhe has no mental strength and cannot completely suppress his thoughts. No matter how strong he is, he will definitely not be able to defeat Donald's many men with a burden who has lost the ability to move.

Now that he has been brought here and locked up in a cage that can block mental power, what about Fu Tianhe?

Chen Ci clearly remembered that Donald wanted Fu Tianhe's artificial eye, and even chased him all the way to Information Processing Area No. 13.

His strength was slowly recovering, and Chen Ci took the opportunity given by Donald to raise his head to observe his surroundings.

The room was connected to a long and narrow corridor with many closed iron doors on both sides. Chen Ci could hear continuous barking coming from it and even smelled a faint smell of blood.

That was the "dog" bred by Donald, and Chen Ci had seen it in his mansion.

"Where is Fu Tianhe?" Chen Ci asked, his voice hoarse with pain.

"It's really touching that you don't even bother to ask about your own situation at this moment, and you still care about the other person." Donald pretended to sigh twice, "I just don't know how much you care about him, and to what extent he will do for you?"

Donald clapped his hands, and Chen Ci heard the sound of the chain falling. A figure fell from the sky and fell heavily to the ground in a rather awkward posture.

Fu Tianhe's wrists were handcuffed, and thumb-thick chains were connected to the high ceiling. His face was covered with purple and black bruises, and his clothes were torn to tatters. It was obvious that he had been in a bloody battle when he was captured.

On the contrary, Chen Ci himself did not have a single wound on his body. He didn't know how Alpha had managed to protect him in that situation.

Fu Tianhe had been knocked unconscious and hung from the ceiling, but was woken up by the fall. He struggled to open his red and swollen eyes, and tried his best to support his body with his arms, trying to get up. However, he was unable to exert any strength and the chain was pulled, making a rattling sound.

Fu Tianhe raised his head with difficulty and saw Chen Ci trapped in a cage not far away.

"September!"

He shouted hoarsely, his voice so hoarse that it seemed as if he was coughing up blood. Fu Tianhe stared at the crutch that Donald used to lift Chen Ci's chin, wishing he could eat him alive with his eyes.

"Don't look at me like that. Although this is a pretty little Omega, I'm not very interested in him."

Donald spoke leisurely as he inserted his cane into Chen Ci's collar. The collar was torn open, revealing a large area of ​​delicate skin. It would be difficult for anyone to resist the temptation to focus their eyes on it.

"But my men have been waiting for this for a long time. They said that the harder the bone, the more exciting it is to play with. You haven't marked him yet, right? Why? Do you want to watch him being marked by a dozen people in turn?"

Chen Ci ignored the cold feeling on his chest and took the opportunity to look around. Sure enough, there were men in black guarding him. They were all Alphas, and their undisguised and revealing eyes seemed to want to tear his clothes to shreds.

"Or...are you willing to pay a small price to save him?"

Donald put away his cane and faced Fu Tianhe with a curious look in his eyes: "You also know that all I want is a small artificial eye, right?"

"Fu Tianhe."

"Eyes, or your little omega, make your choice."

Fu Tianhe was gasping for breath. He stared at Donald, who had a bright smile on his face, and heard the fierce barking of dogs coming from the corridor behind him.

The black eyes were filled with anger and hatred, but the golden prosthetic eye was as bright as ever.

"You're still hesitating, right?" Donald showed a regretful expression. "It's really sad. The first thing your little Omega asked after waking up was where you were. He probably never thought that he would be the one being abandoned, right?"

Chen Ci listened to Donald's words, indifferent. He was trying hard to get rid of the pain in his chest.

Chen Ci told himself that he was not injured, and the stimulation of his nerves was just an illusion based on telepathic induction, and all parts of his body were functioning normally.

He knew very well that this was just the lowest form of sowing discord. Donald had no idea that if there was only one person in the world who was willing to give everything for him unconditionally, it would be Fu Tianhe.

Chen Ci silently called upon his mental strength. He had done relevant training before and used his own strength to resist the shield.

But Donald used too many barrier stones in the cage, and his power was firmly suppressed in the deepest part of his sea of ​​consciousness, just like the stone monkey under the Five Finger Mountain. Even if he had tens of thousands of magical powers, he couldn't use them.

Fu Tianhe said nothing.

Seeing him like this, Donald sighed in a pretentious manner: "It seems that you have already made up your mind to give up the little Omega. What a pity."

Donald pulled out a remote control from his suit pocket, raised his hand to show it better to Fu Tianhe, and pressed the button on it.

With a click, the organs were opened one after another. More than a dozen tightly closed iron doors in the corridor slid upwards. The even crazier barking of dogs hit the eardrums. They roared and cheered for the coming freedom and food.

At the same time, the floor tiles under Donald's feet rose, allowing him to reach a safe enough position. The collector looked down from above, expecting the splash of blood.

Fu Tianhe looked back and saw those ferocious monsters rushing towards him. Their targets were himself and September, who was trapped in a cage with nowhere to escape.

Fu Tianhe stood up with difficulty. The metal cuffs on his wrists made his arms feel extremely heavy, and the injuries he had just suffered made every movement extremely painful.

He turned around and faced the stench coming out of the monster's mouth.

When the mutant dog bit towards him, Fu Tianhe simply stretched out his left arm and bit the iron handcuffs on his wrist with its sharp teeth, making a teeth-grinding sound.

Fu Tianhe clenched his right fist and suddenly hammered out, hitting the dog's eye. The huge force like a heavy hammer directly knocked the dog's head to the side. Amidst the flying fishy saliva, the eyeball burst out white sticky substance, spurting out along with the blood.

The mutant dog screamed wildly, but was immediately grabbed by the neck by Fu Tianhe.

Alpha grabbed the messy fur at the back of the neck and threw the monster, which weighed at least 160 to 170 kilograms, heavily onto the faces of the other two dogs that followed!

However, another giant dog rushed over and bit Fu Tianhe's leg. Alpha took a step sideways and barely dodged it. When the giant dog was about to rush into the room, he suddenly pulled the iron chain on his right hand and accurately caught the dog from its open mouth.

The dog's mouth was almost torn apart, its momentum was blocked, and it lost stability in an instant. Fu Tianhe grabbed its upper jaw with one hand and its chin with the other, and with a loud shout, he tore it in half with his bare hands!

Smelly, boiling blood splattered all over Fu Tianhe's body, and his internal organs fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

Now even the most ferocious creatures felt an instinctive fear. They retreated one after another and no longer dared to move forward. Hunger made some of them drag the corpses of their dead companions and feast on them in the corner.

Fu Tianhe was panting heavily. He turned around and looked at Donald again. His body was covered in blood, but his eyes were still firm.

"well!"

Donald couldn't help but applaud. Even though the two mutant dogs he had carefully bred were dead, the wonderful battle just now still made his eyes sparkle with wild excitement.

He stared at Fu Tianhe closely, as if he was looking at a rare treasure.

The blood completely aroused the perverted factor in the collector, especially the dirty blood flowing under Fu Tianhe's feet, which even had its last beat.

He is so strong and fierce. If he could be recruited by him, he would become a capable general.

What a pity. What a pity.

Fu Tianhe clenched his fists tightly, his nails piercing into his palms. He was now relying entirely on his last breath to hold on and not fall to the ground.

The young man in the iron cage seemed to have finally regained some strength. He sat up with difficulty and looked at his body through the gap in the cage.

Will he remain as calm as before? Fu Tianhe didn't know. The mutant dog's blood splashed on his eyeballs, making everything blurred with scarlet.

The floor tiles under Donald's feet returned to their original positions. He sighed and said to Fu Tianhe:

"Why bother? I just want one of your artificial eyes, not your life. If you are so stubborn, it will only cause you and the little Omega to lose their lives."

Fu Tianhe remained silent. He clenched his teeth tightly, not letting himself relax at all.

In the scarlet blood curtain, he saw Donald waving his hand, and the men who were on standby at the side immediately stepped forward. They approached September in the cage, buzzing like a group of black flies, eager to stain everything with filth.

They did not open the cage, but the space was small and they could accomplish everything even outside.

Fu Tianhe heard them saying such disgusting words. The moon that he cherished the most and held in his palm had now become a sweet and juicy trophy in the mouths of those people.

They wanted to break September's handsome neck, forcing his proud head to bow, so that he could only serve while crying.

I don't know whose hand lifted the hem of his shirt and started to touch it greedily. Someone even pinched the Omega boy's chin without mercy and forced him to open his mouth.

In the gaps between the shadows, Fu Tianhe finally saw Jiu Yue's expression clearly -

The boy remained calm, as if everything around him was empty. Those amber eyes were gazing at him from afar, just like the moment when he lay in his arms last night.

"Give it to you! I'll give it to you!" Fu Tianhe roared and trembled. He finally couldn't hold on any longer and knelt on the ground, shouting, "Let him go!!!"

"Stop." Donald immediately waved his hands. After receiving his order, the group of men stopped reluctantly, but still stood tightly beside the iron cage, waiting to continue at any time.

Fu Tianhe kept gasping for breath. He closed his eyes tightly and felt something warm flowing out. Was it blood or tears?

Donald counted the ground with his cane, and the tapping sound was like a death warrant, reminding Fu Tianhe not to dawdle.

Fu Tianhe.

Suddenly he heard someone calling his name. His mother's gentle voice came sadly from the depths of his memory: No matter what, don't lose this eye of yours.

——I’m sorry, Mom.

Fu Tianhe opened his eyes, raised his head, faced Donald, and put his hand to his right eye.

He touched the cool smoothness, but at this moment his fingertips seemed to be even colder.

Fu Tianhe inserted his fingers into his eyelids and pushed deeper. He knew that the human eye sockets were actually very large and the eyeballs were just embedded in them.

The friction between the nails and the inside of the eyelids caused sharp pain, and the capillaries and nerves were punctured, and blood rushed out, but not too much.

"Fu Tianhe!" Chen Ci shouted in shock. The bright red from the Alpha's eyes irritated his retina.

He returned to the time when he was six years old, watching everything move towards an irreversible direction, but he was powerless to stop it.

Fu Tianhe went deeper and touched the bone of his eye socket, which was separated by a thin layer of flesh.

The special eyeball is hard and cannot be destroyed and dug out like an ordinary eyeball. It can only be taken out in one piece. When the fingertips sink into the soft flesh, a sticky stirring sound can be clearly heard, but it is not enough.

The pain was so severe that it was unbearable. Fu Tianhe lowered his head, clenched his teeth, and his cheeks were so hard that the bones protruded.

The finger squeezed in, and the eyeball was forced to move in the opposite direction, but was framed by the eye socket until the implanted eyeball was completely separated from the surrounding flesh and blood.

"Fu Tianhe!"

The blood had already flowed between his fingers, dripping onto the ground, and Fu Tianhe finally reached the back end.

He took a deep breath and suddenly pressed the trigger.

“Aa ...

The golden eyeball covered in flesh and blood fell out of its socket, dropped to the ground, and rolled towards Donald in front of him. Fu Tianhe finally couldn't bear it anymore. He roared and screamed like a dying beast, blood gushed out, instantly dyeing the right half of his face red.

Alpha's shoulders and back were tense, and he hunched over in acute pain, with his spine and shoulder blades sticking out like rocks. Fu Tianhe covered his empty right eye tightly, but blood still flowed out from between his fingers, mixed with crystal purple particles.

That river was about to drown him.

The golden prosthetic eye rolled to Donald's feet, but was blocked by the collector's shiny leather shoes and slowly stopped.

The collection he had been chasing for nearly three months was right within reach, but Donald didn't even bend down to pick up the artificial eye that he had just dug out of his eye socket.

He raised his foot and stomped down hard, crushing the artificial eye to pieces!

“Sure enough…Sure enough!”

Donald's voice was shaking with uncontrollable excitement. He stared at the purple substance that kept flowing out of Fu Tianhe's eyes, waving his arms and shouting, "I knew it, I knew you were a——"

Bang!

Blood splattered everywhere.

Donald's ecstatic expression was forever frozen at that moment. The head with fluffy blond hair exploded into pieces, and white brains and blood mixed together, covered with twisted tendons.

Chen Ci walked out of the iron cage, and his boundless spiritual power filled every inch of space as never before. Even time stood still at this moment.

The energy from the depths of the boy's soul broke through the shackles and was released in a completely angry manner. Cracks appeared on the original stone. It was actually completely destroyed in this confrontation!

Even the metal cage twisted, opening up a path large enough for him to pass through.

A railing was missing, and the twisted burrs at the broken end showed that it had been broken by a huge force. At this moment, it was nailed to Donald's rotten head.

The teeth-grinding sounds of bones being squeezed continued, and the men guarding the cage were unable to move. Starting from the ankles, the leg bones were shattered and piled up in the muscles.

Not a drop of blood flowed out, and they became shorter inch by inch, like compressed biscuits, making crisp cracking sounds. They could only stare wide-eyed in horror, feeling their bodies being destroyed from the inside.

Unable to scream or struggle, while still being extremely conscious, I felt myself being destroyed bit by bit.

Chen Ci stumbled towards the Alpha who was kneeling on the ground. His collar was slightly askew, but he didn't bother to fix it.

He stared at the figure that was already covered in blood, and his usually calm voice began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Fu Tianhe!!!"
