    Chapter 229

    In the end, Sister Bai couldn't bear to listen to Su Hao's outrageous storytelling any longer. She simply picked him up by the back of his collar, set him aside, and turned toward Yashan instead.

    "Jingyi, you tell me."

    Yashan immediately became nervous.

    "I... I... th-that..."

    After stammering for a long while, he failed to produce a complete sentence.

    Sister Bai sighed and turned to the last witness.

    "Jingchun?"

    Bai Jingchun blinked innocently.

    "..."

    Truthfully...

    He had no idea what had happened either.

    And just like that...

    The matter ended without a conclusion.

    Although Sister Bai always felt there was something unusual about Jingzhong and Jingyi, there was little she could do.

    After all...

    They were only five-year-old children.

    Finally, she rubbed her forehead and instructed,

    "Xiaotian."

    "When Asheng gets back, tell him to start packing."

    "We're moving again in a couple of days."

    Xiaotian wasn't even surprised anymore.

    She simply nodded.

    "Understood, Sister Bai."


    ---

    Thus, Morning Sun Courtyard began yet another relocation.

    The orphanage was moved to an even more secluded location.

    Only its name remained unchanged.

    Morning Sun Courtyard.


    ---

    One afternoon, Sister Bai sat quietly beneath a large tree in the new courtyard, absentmindedly watching the children play.

    At that moment, a handsome young man in a neatly tailored suit walked through the gate, curiously looking around the courtyard.

    Sister Bai looked up in surprise.

    "Xiao Lin."

    "What brings you here?"

    The young man smiled.

    "I heard Morning Sun Courtyard moved again."

    "So I came to take a look."

    "This place isn't bad."

    "Sister Bai, you always manage to find good locations."

    She waved dismissively.

    "I've gotten used to it."

    Xiao Lin looked puzzled.

    "You moved so suddenly."

    "Did something happen?"

    After hearing a brief explanation, his smile gradually disappeared.

    "So..."

    "The Resisters have started kidnapping children again."

    Silence settled between them.

    Xiao Lin had also grown up in Morning Sun Courtyard.

    To him...

    This orphanage wasn't merely a place.

    It was home.

    The people here...

    Were family.

    Years ago...

    Children from the orphanage had disappeared more than once.

    One smiling face slowly resurfaced in Xiao Lin's memory.

    It had belonged to his childhood playmate.

    Taken away by the Resisters while they were still very young...

    Never seen again.

    Even now...

    Nothing was known about their fate.

    That memory had become a permanent scar.

    He hated the Resisters with every fiber of his being.

    Yet...

    Even after becoming a powerful Summoner...

    He still couldn't stop them.

    Without warning, Sister Bai clenched her fist and slammed it into the nearby tree.

    Rustle—

    Leaves rained down from the trembling branches.

    Through gritted teeth, she said,

    "Those bastards..."

    "They'll pay for this someday."


    ---

    Xiao Lin didn't stay long.

    Before leaving, he quietly placed a heavy bag of money on the table.

    "Sister Bai."

    "Morning Sun Courtyard still depends on you."

    Without even pretending to refuse, Sister Bai snatched the money away.

    "Get lost."

    "Leave the money."

    "Take your sentimental nonsense with you."

    Xiao Lin burst into laughter.

    "Still as straightforward as ever."

    With a wave of his hand, he departed.

    In reality...

    Morning Sun Courtyard had never survived on Sister Bai's efforts alone.

    Many of the children who had grown up here and entered society continued sending money back whenever they could.

    Without that support...

    There was no way the orphanage could continue raising so many children.

    Unfortunately...

    As the years passed, fewer and fewer people continued contributing.

    Most eventually stopped.

    In the end...

    Sister Bai still bore almost everything herself.


    ---

    A month passed.

    The attempted kidnapping gradually faded into memory.

    Su Hao concluded that, at least for the foreseeable future, no one would come looking for them again.

    Of course...

    Whether another unexpected disaster might suddenly appear...

    No one could say.

    Bad luck rarely followed logic.

    Sometimes...

    You could simply be walking down the street and get hit by a truck.

    His current strength was still far from sufficient.

    The previous battle had revealed an obvious weakness.

    His Blood Qi reserves were simply too small.

    After activating only a handful of runes, he had nearly exhausted himself.

    If he ever faced several Summoners at once after draining his Blood Qi...

    He would be left almost completely powerless.

    That was unacceptable.

    Tonight...

    He would begin the experiment.

    It was time to evolve into a Shell Person.

    The greatest advantage of the Shell Person Sequence wasn't its scales.

    It was the dramatic increase in physical ability.

    A stronger body naturally meant greater Blood Qi reserves.

    And more Blood Qi meant...

    More runes.


    ---

    Later, after finding Yashan alone, Su Hao quietly said,

    "Jingyi."

    "Your body has accumulated enough Blood Qi."

    "Tonight I'll help you evolve into a Shell Person."

    Yashan immediately nodded.

    "Alright..."

    He almost blurted out "Boss Wei" before hurriedly correcting himself.

    "...Boss Jingzhong."

    The advantage of bringing Yashan into a new world became apparent once again.

    If Su Hao were still a Zhu-Hua mutant, he could have transformed directly without hesitation.

    But this world was different.

    His current body belonged to an ordinary human.

    No one had ever attempted turning a human into a Shell Person.

    If something went wrong...

    Death was a very real possibility.

    Fortunately...

    Yashan existed.

    If the experiment failed...

    Well...

    There would always be another world.

    Yashan was simply the perfect experimental subject.

    The more Su Hao looked at him...

    The more satisfied he became.


    ---

    That night...

    After Bai Jingchun had fallen asleep, Su Hao quietly climbed out of bed.

    Just to be safe, he placed a homemade sleeping agent beneath Jingchun's nose.

    After confirming the little boy was sleeping deeply...

    He reached beneath the bed.

    A syringe.

    And a bottle containing a transparent liquid.

    The liquid inside was the genetic modification serum Su Hao had designed specifically from Yashan's genes.

    As for the syringe...

    He had quietly purchased it from a nearby pharmacy.

    Where had the money come from?

    A brief stroll through the streets had solved that problem.

    Stealthily acquiring money had become second nature to him long ago.


    ---

    Yashan obediently rolled up his sleeve and stretched out his pale little arm.

    His expression was one of complete trust.

    He waited quietly.

    Su Hao didn't keep him waiting.

    The needle pierced the skin.

    The entire syringe of genetic modification serum was slowly injected.

    Besides carrying the extraordinary genes of the Shell Person Sequence, the serum also contained an extremely important component—

    A Genetic Controller.

    This controller was what allowed mutants to freely transform between their ordinary and extraordinary forms.

    The design looked flawless.

    Whether reality agreed...

    Only time would tell.


    ---

    Not long afterward...

    Yashan fell asleep.

    Su Hao remained beside the bed, carefully observing every change.

    Nearly an hour later...

    The transformation began.

    Yashan's skin gradually darkened.

    Layer after layer of dragon-like scales emerged from beneath the skin, rapidly spreading across his entire body.

    Yet...

    Something wasn't quite right.

    Compared to the Shell People of the previous world...

    These scales were different.

    Instead of dark gray...

    They were bluish-white.

    They were also much smaller...

    Far denser...

    And noticeably thinner.

    Su Hao carefully examined their hardness before recording every observation inside the Marble Space.

    He meticulously compared every difference between a human Shell Person and a Zhu-Hua Shell Person.


    ---

    Four hours later...

    Yashan slowly opened his eyes.

    Following Su Hao's instructions, he tested various movements while Su Hao continued recording data.

    Finally, Su Hao reached three conclusions.

    The defensive capability of the scales had decreased.

    The scales had also grown in rather unfortunate locations...

    Including his eyelids.

    And...

    Certain areas that made daily life extremely inconvenient.

    Finally...

    The Genetic Controller wasn't functioning perfectly.

    Yashan found it extremely difficult to retract the scales.


    ---

    Yashan looked pitifully at Su Hao.

    "Boss Wei..."

    "I need the bathroom..."

    "I need both..."

    "But..."

    "It feels blocked..."

    Su Hao rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

    "Don't panic."

    "Boss Wei will think of something."

    Yashan nodded without hesitation.

    "Okay."

    "I trust Boss Wei."

    In truth...

    Su Hao was beginning to feel a slight headache.

    So...

    The experiment wasn't entirely successful.

    Yashan...

    You'll have to suffer a little.

    Keeping a perfectly calm expression, Su Hao said,

    "Yashan."

    "Search carefully for the feeling you had before transforming."

    "Picture yourself returning to normal."

    "Find that instinct."

    "Then guide it."

    "Slowly..."

    "Retrace the transformation."

    After several minutes...

    Yashan's face became increasingly twisted.

    "...Boss Wei."

    "The harder I search..."

    "...the more urgent it becomes."

    Su Hao fell silent.

    Without saying another word...

    He crouched beside the bed.

    Reached underneath.

    Then slowly pulled out...

    A large pair of pliers.

    Handing them over with complete seriousness, he said,

    "Go to the bathroom."

    "And clip off the scales that are in the way."

    "..."

    Yashan stared blankly at the pliers.

    His expression gradually filled with despair.
