Chen Ci was held in Fu Tianhe's arms, feeling the Alpha rubbing his chin against the top of his head, his nose filled with the warm and mellow amber scent.

The bloating in my abdomen is a little strange, and it is completely different from the feeling I had after a full meal before.

Chen Ci felt it silently. He took the terminal. Since the accident, he had not had time to communicate directly with Chen Nian.

He sent a message to ask how Chen Nian was doing.

Two minutes later, Chen Ci received a reply.

Chen Nian: [I can’t really move right now. I’m asking Shafley to help me type. He suddenly fell off the bed this morning. I don’t know what happened. His face is so red and he looks weird. Of course I have to type this sentence too. No, no, not the one just now! Forget it, you can post it.]

Just by reading this long paragraph, one can imagine what a chaotic scene the ward was like.

There is a high probability that Shaflay did it on purpose.

Chen Nian was injured, and it was a bit inconvenient to ask Shafley to help type, so it would be best if they could communicate via video.

However, Chen Ci and Fu Tianhe were lying on the bed, and they had not had time to clean up the mess around them.

He didn't look at the mirror, but through the reflection of the terminal screen, he knew that his neck and shoulders should be covered with marks left by Alpha.

Of course, video is impossible.

Chen Nian told Chen Ci in detail about his experience on the Ocean Platform yesterday, the beacon base that was constantly parasitized by primitive creatures, the blue eyes that surrounded him, and the scene that appeared in his dream.

Especially that dream, Chen Nian described it in extra detail. He wanted to try and see if he could bring back some memories related to it in Chen Ci.

Chen Ci repeated this passage three or four times in his mind, but he could not come up with anything from it.

But he noticed the description of the monster's eyes, which were shapes drawn by lines, or grooves, with golden fluid flowing in them, flashing with fine light, like hot sand in the sun.

Chen Ci had seen something similar before.

From Fu Tianhe's broken artificial eye, the golden contents fell to the ground and were collected by him in a test tube and carefully preserved.

It was this thing that had been suppressing the Ashes in Fu Tianhe's body, allowing him to live for more than ten years.

The substance in the monster's eyes changed from gold to blue, and it changed from caring for them to killing them.

If the contents of the Golden Eye and Fu Tianhe's artificial eye are made of the same substance, it means that the effect of this thing suppressing Ashes will also work on monsters.

Is it because the monster lost the golden substance that it became what it is now?

How did Fu Tianhe's mother get this thing in the first place, and how did she know that it could possibly suppress Ashes?

Chen Ci input: [I got something and need to send it to Cinnabar for testing. Is there any way to ensure it is delivered safely? ]

Chen Nian: [Based on the current situation, it is safest for us to hand it over in person. Is that item urgent? If so, I can ask Shafley to go over there specifically?]

Chen Ci thought about it and realized that Chen Niancai was injured and needed someone to take care of him personally. It would take most of the day to travel from Chensha to Sanshui and back by aircraft.

If he had to send it over, it would be more appropriate for him to go back to Cinnabar.

This substance was related to Fu Tianhe's condition. Chen Ci didn't want to delay and made a decision immediately.

[Let Shafley arrange it. I'll deliver it myself. I can also check on your current situation.]

Chen Nian: [Okay, then when are you free? ]

Chen Ci: [Any time is fine.]

Chen Nian: [Then let’s do it tomorrow morning! ]

It was happily decided that tomorrow morning, which was the night in Sanshui, Shafley would send an aircraft to pick up Chen Ci.

After the discussion, Chen Ci turned off the terminal. Fu Tianhe had been lying quietly beside him, staring at him.

Although Alpha was curious, he did not take advantage of the close distance to secretly look at Chen Ci's terminal interface. Even though they had already completed the final marking of AO, they still needed to leave each other some private space.

Fu Tianhe was completely honest with Jiuyue, but this was his choice. If Jiuyue wanted to have her own secrets, Fu Tianhe certainly would not blame her.

The thorough marking allows the two people to communicate with each other to a certain extent, which is the unique bond between AO.

Jiu Yue was usually indifferent to everything that happened around him. Fu Tianhe had never even seen the boy laugh or cry. But now, through this bond, he could truly feel some of the fluctuations in the Omega's heart.

Previously, he used the excuse that September didn't know what true love was and repeatedly rejected the boy's final request.

But now Fu Tianhe knows that although Jiuyue may still not be able to tell him what love means to him, Jiuyue truly holds him in her heart.

After working for a long time, Chen Ci felt extremely sleepy and wanted to get up and wash up. He moved his body and immediately took a deep breath.

Something is flowing out.

Chen Ci lowered his head and looked back. Fu Tianhe climbed up with a red face and was about to hug Chen Ci.

At first Chen Ci wanted to refuse, as it wasn't like he was completely unable to walk. But then Chen Ci remembered that in the books he had read before, he usually had to be held in the arms, so he stopped resisting.

They finally lay down again feeling refreshed. It was almost morning. Both Chen Ci and Fu Tianhe were extremely tired and soon fell asleep in each other's arms.

As for what kind of trouble Chen Ci and An An's actions tonight had caused, none of them thought about going to see.

I slept until the afternoon.

Chen Ci woke up bleary-eyed. There were only three hours left before Shafley sent a flying vehicle to pick him up.

He was not particularly anxious, and said to Fu Tianhe, who was also sleepy, "I have to go to Chensha temporarily to take care of some things, and I will be back tomorrow."

It's not the first time that September needs to go back to Chensha urgently to deal with something.

Fu Tianhe didn't ask any more questions. He knew he just had to agree and then stay in the hotel room, waiting for Jiuyue to come back.

But if that's all, I'd be a bit useless.

He felt inferior because of his disability and low status, and was even afraid to meet Jiu Yue's family. Instead of indulging in such cowardice and anxiety, he should have found ways to improve himself.

The teachings received from his mother since childhood have long been engraved deep in Fu Tianhe's soul. No matter what situation he faces, he must maintain an optimistic and positive attitude. Only in this way can he find the best solution.

The same is true now.

He once told Jiuyue that if the boy was a man of noble status, then he would try his best to be worthy of him.

Chen Ci got up to pack the things he needed to take with him, and Fu Tianhe continued to lie down, browsing the news on Yueliangyu to see what Jiuyue and Anan did yesterday.

The first time Chen Ci took An An into action, he didn't make a big fuss. He just dealt with a waste king who started out as a local garbage collector.

Apparently he also wanted to avenge An An, after all, the little girl had been bullied a lot when she was picking up trash.

September's goal is to stir up the dungeon in order to attract the attention of the top leaders of Sanshui.

So what about him, what is his goal?

Fu Tianhe quietly clenched his fists. The shame and hatred that he had deliberately forgotten for a long time quietly surfaced. Even though time had passed, it was still as clear as ever.

He experienced the great pain of losing his eyes and his mother, wandered alone in the dungeon, and lived like a rat until he was fourteen years old, and was then taken away by the man who suddenly appeared.

Yu Yongyi pushed all the blame onto his mother who loved him the most, but Fu Tianhe knew that in Yu Yongyi's heart, this son who was picked up halfway was just a tool.

Once it is confirmed that he is no longer useful, he will be discarded ruthlessly.

At that time, Fu Tianhe never showed any anger, because he knew that he didn't have much time left, and there was no need to torture himself because of these trivial things and live in depression all day long.

He is a dying man, what else is there to care about?

But now, Fu Tianhe no longer wants to pretend that nothing happened.

He has a lover and maybe there is hope for him to continue living in the future. If he wants to make himself worthy of September, he must do something to prove it.

Let’s start with Yu Yongyi.

It is also revenge for the mother.

"September." Fu Tianhe called softly, and when the boy turned around, he told him his thoughts.

Chen Ci was not surprised that Fu Tianhe wanted to take action.

Alpha's previous nonchalance was all based on the premise that he thought he would die soon. Now his blood can suppress Fu Tianhe's condition, and they are still looking for a real cure.

"What do you want to do?" Chen Ci asked.

"Let's make a bigger noise first." said Fu Tianhe.

Three hours later, Chen Ci arrived at the outer wall and boarded the aircraft to Cinnabar alone.

He sat by the window, watching the beacon being surrounded by the ocean, gradually becoming a tower of Babel standing in the waves, and sent a message to Shafley: [Already set out]

Shafley quickly replied: [Okay.]

Fu Tianhe's voice came from the wireless headset: "I bought a headgear, but I don't know if it fits. It would be great if I could change clothes in real life like in the game."

"Try it on first." Chen Ci said, "Let An An give you some advice."

More than 20 minutes later, Chen Ci received the video file from Fu Tianhe.

He opened it and read it several times, and gave Fu Tianhe some suggestions for revisions.

Fu Tianhe accepted the suggestions and soon sent a new version of the video. Chen Ci has a talent for acting as the client and can always find problems from various angles.

After going back and forth like this three or four times, Chen Ci finally got the final version that satisfied him.

Chen Ci raised his head and found that two or three hours had passed. After he closed his eyes for a while, the aircraft landed on the top layer of Cinnabar.

He unbuckled his seat belt and walked out of the cabin. He squinted at the bright sunlight. Shafley was waiting for him outside.

"Let's go." Without any unnecessary greetings, the two went directly to the hospital where Chen Nian was.

Sitting side by side in the back seat of the car, Shafley clearly smelled the scent of another Alpha on Chen Ci, a very rich amber wood scent that reminded people of the quiet and warm forest on an autumn afternoon, blending with the fragrance of tuberose as if declaring sovereignty.

Shafla was in a trance. He could actually smell Chen Ci's pheromones.

Compared with Chen Nian, Chen Ci's pheromones are lighter. If Chen Nian is the flower that blooms wantonly in the dark night and seduces others with its seductiveness, then Chen Ci is the flower that buds secretly in the courtyard, and its light fragrance can only be smelled when you savor it carefully.

Maybe it was because Chen Ci had already marked them? Their pheromones were no longer sensitive, so they were removed.

Shafley couldn't help but glance at the back of Chen Ci's neck. The boy was still wearing an anti-bite collar, but only he and Fu Tianhe knew what was going on underneath the collar.

The thought of that untimely phone call gave Shaffley a heart attack.

On the way, Chen Ci handed the test tube containing the golden substance to Shafley: "Fu Tianhe's artificial eye was broken by Donald. This thing is the contents taken out of his artificial eye."

"He is infected with Ashes. This thing must have been suppressing his condition and not developing according to the normal process."

"What?" Shafulai was stunned. Every word Chen Ci said contained too much information. "Fu Tianhe is an infected person?!"

Chen Ci nodded: "Yes, he was infected when he was six years old. He was one of the first people to be infected by Ashes. His right eye was corroded because of the infection."

"His mother brought back an artificial eye, which was the golden eye on his right side. When we first went to Donald's mansion, Donald showed a strong interest in his artificial eye. Later, he searched for us in the dungeon, and it seemed that he was after the artificial eye."

"When Chen Nian was injured, I passed out due to telepathic induction. Donald's men took the opportunity to take me and Fu Tianhe away. Donald used me as a bargaining chip to ask Fu Tianhe to give him the artificial eye."

Shafley's throat tightened, and he had a vague premonition in his heart: "And then?"

"Fu Tianhe dug his eyes out."

Shafley: …………………………

At this moment, he suddenly felt phantom pain and couldn't help but blink hard.

Chen Ci said calmly, "But Donald crushed the eyeball directly. He just wanted to expose Fu Tianhe's identity as an infected person. After all, in the eyes of the public, people infected with Ashes will definitely die and there is no possibility of survival."

"Perhaps for Donald, Fu Tianhe's special qualities aroused his desire to collect it."

Shafulai was speechless for a moment. In the previous communication, Chen Ci had just brushed aside all these things. It was not until now that he knew that such a thrilling thing had happened: "Then Fu Tianhe is now..."

"I gave him my blood. His condition has stabilized and he should be able to hold on for a while."

Chen Ci looked at Shaflay and said seriously, "I must find a way to cure Ashes as soon as possible."

Shafley: "We will go there as soon as Chen Nian feels better. We have also gained some new clues in the past two days."

The two men quickly exchanged information and soon arrived at the hospital. Chen Ci adjusted his mask and hat, covered himself tightly, and followed Shafulai.

Although many people already knew that he and Chen Nian had exchanged identities, since it had not been announced publicly, it was better to keep it as secret as possible to avoid any further complications.

Chen Ci walked out of the elevator, crossed the corridor, opened the door, and finally saw his brother lying on the hospital bed.

"Chen Nian." Chen Ci came to the bedside, leaned over, and asked softly, "How is it?"

"It's fine." Chen Nian smiled, "but my back hurts a bit from lying in bed every day. I don't know when it will get better."

"How about you, how are you doing in Sanshui? I saw the big news you made yesterday."

As Chen Nian was talking, he smelled an unusual scent on Chen Ci, it was the scent of Alpha pheromones!

The amber wood fragrance belonging to Fu Tianhe was floating in the air, but this time, it was not just floating on the surface of Chen Ci's body, but was truly blended with the tuberose.

Chen Nian's voice suddenly stopped. He widened his eyes and asked quietly, "Have you and Fu Tianhe marked it?"

"Yeah." Chen Ci nodded. He paused and added, "Last night."

"Oh——" Chen Nian drew out the tone as if to cheer, and his eyes unconsciously glanced at Shafulai.

Although everyone present knew that Chen Ci and Shafley were just friends, they still had a paper engagement.

Shafley? Of course Shafley didn't respond.

How would he react? On the contrary, he and Chen Ci had already found someone worthy of trust, so if there was any reaction, it should be relief and relief.

Chen Ci sat in the nursing chair and chatted briefly with Chen Nian. The focus was of course on the telepathic connection that occurred that day.

This kind of feeling usually occurs between twins, or between a mother and her child, but neither Chen Ci nor Chen Nian expected it to be so strong, and Chen Ci even fainted from the pain.

Chen Nian: "Now that I'm injured, basically all the senior leaders know that we have swapped identities. The White Tower came to cause trouble, but was stopped by Shafulai. Now we don't have to be restricted by it anymore and can do our work freely."

"I just don't know if the so-called internal enemy still exists after the monster is captured. We still have too little information. If we want to avoid risks, we can only speed up our actions."

Chen Ci hummed and said, "You should take good care of yourself first. Fu Tianhe and I will continue to operate in Sanshui. We should not only listen to Chensha's words, but also ask Sanshui's attitude."

"If everything goes well, I will soon have the opportunity to meet Qiao Xianfeng."

Chen Nian: "Hey guys, are you planning to fight your way through the dungeon to the top floor? Isn't that a little too short?"

Chen Ci shook his head, looked up at the digital clock on the wall, and said, "It's almost time."

Shafley: “What?”

Chen Ci brought up the virtual screen, logged into the social software, and searched for Moon's homepage.

Two minutes ago, a new tweet was sent, which was a video that was several minutes long.

Chen Ci clicked it open.

After a brief darkness, an empty and small room appeared on the screen.

In the center of the picture is a person, a person sitting on a chair.

He was dressed in black, with a brown fast food paper bag on his head, covering his head and neck. On the front of the bag, there were wildly drawn curved lines and upturned corners of the mouth with red pen, like blood, forming a twisted and terrifying laugh.

After more than ten seconds of silence, the paper bag man finally spoke.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen."

The sound had obviously been processed through a voice changer, mixed with the crackling sound of electrical current.

Shafley suddenly understood why Chen Ci had asked him for a voice changer that would never be cracked by advanced technology a few hours ago.

"It has been half a month since Abner was punished. It is time to meet with everyone."

"I'm sure everyone has heard about Moon Rain over the past few days. Yes, we did donate all of our proceeds to food banks and shelters, and we did collect reports of bad behavior on social media to select our next target."

"But these are not enough for us. The ultimate goal of Moon Rain is to make sure that all those who abuse their power and position to act lawlessly receive the punishment they deserve."

"We will open a dedicated mailbox to receive reports from all over the world. If you have suffered injustice or are struggling in the quagmire, please compile the details and send them to the mailbox."

"The businessman who collected the mechanical cores from the scavengers and gained a monopoly position has made countless wealth; the medical dealer who secretly manipulated the organ trade and sold illegal drugs has the heart of a street child beating in his chest; the banker only needs to sit in the office and move his fingers to cause countless people to die."

"As for the old men who live at the top, who have no worries about food and clothing, they spend all their energy on fighting for power and never think of lowering their heads to take even one more look."

"To them, we are just mud under their feet. The mere sight of us is disgusting."

“Since the world has forgotten us, we can only rely on ourselves to regain the dignity and right to live.”

"Under the shining moon, the power of every tiny drop of rain is enough to flood the whole world."

"And now, I will use the most direct and efficient means to tell the world that such days will never come back. Moon Rain will declare war on all those who are rich but unkind and seek fame and reputation—"

"The useless piece of shit has returned."
