    Chapter 288

    The temporary base was easy enough to relocate.

    All they had to do was erase every trace they had left behind before using Transforming Steel to sink the entire facility deep underground. Within a short time, nothing would remain on the surface.

    Of course, that was only because they currently possessed very little equipment.

    As their collection of experimental devices grew larger, relocating an entire laboratory would become far more troublesome.

    While designing the genes for Earth Lord inside the Marble Space, Su Hao couldn't help thinking,

    "If I can completely unravel the secrets of space... perhaps I could create an independent storage space."

    "A place where all of these machines could be stored and retrieved whenever needed."

    It would be no different from the legendary spatial rings or storage pouches described in myths.

    The thought alone was tempting.


    ---

    Meanwhile...

    Yashan returned to the prison cell.

    Standing between the two traffickers bound to wooden crosses, his entire body radiated an ominous aura.

    Facing the camera, he slowly began his prepared introduction.

    "Greetings..."

    "...to every lovable, hateful, kind, wicked, beautiful, and ugly viewer watching from around the world."

    "I am Rebel Butcher No. 000."

    "The nightmare that awakens you in the dead of night."

    "The executioner whose hands are stained with the blood of demons."

    "The surgeon who specializes in removing the filth of humanity."

    "And the shadow that will forever haunt the souls of the Summoning Beast Resistance Association."

    "Welcome..."

    "...to my world."

    After finishing his introduction, Yashan looked directly into the camera and let out a sinister laugh.

    "Hehehehehe..."

    He had practiced that laugh countless times after watching numerous villain performances online.

    Now...

    It was terrifyingly convincing.

    The two traffickers nearly lost their souls from fright.


    ---

    Yashan calmly listed every crime committed by the Summoning Beast Resistance Association, then pointed toward the two trembling men.

    "These two..."

    "...are members of that organization."

    "They kidnapped children."

    "They sold children."

    "They ruined countless families."

    He then picked up a thick manual from the nearby table.

    Opening the first page, he slowly displayed it before the camera.

    "Skinning."

    "Lingchi."

    "Molten Lead."

    "Forked Execution."

    One punishment after another was introduced in a calm, almost conversational tone.

    Behind him...

    The faces of the two traffickers had already turned deathly pale.

    The taller man completely lost control of his bladder.

    A foul smell quickly spread throughout the cell.

    Yashan acted as though he hadn't noticed.

    Instead, he took out an octagonal die and held it before the camera.

    "This die has eight sides."

    "Each number corresponds to one punishment."

    "As for which punishment these two will receive..."

    "...we'll leave it to fate."

    He walked to another camera and dropped the die into a glass bottle.

    Clink... Clink... Clink...

    The die rolled continuously.

    The two traffickers stared at it with absolute terror.

    At that moment...

    They sincerely wished it would never stop.

    Neither of them believed they deserved this.

    In their eyes, they had merely kidnapped children.

    They hadn't committed crimes worthy of such horrific torture.

    Why...

    Why should they suffer this?

    Cruel?

    Yashan didn't think so.

    To him, these people were no longer human.

    They were monsters.

    Showing mercy to monsters...

    That was true cruelty.

    How many innocent children were abducted every year?

    How many lives were destroyed?

    According to Boss Wei...

    Many of those children ultimately became experimental subjects.

    The thought reminded Yashan of the countless little white mice from Su Hao's previous laboratory.

    His expression grew colder.

    Finally...

    The die stopped.

    Five.

    The fifth punishment.

    The two traffickers collapsed as though struck by lightning.

    Their faces twisted in terror.

    Within seconds they completely broke down, crying and screaming hysterically.

    Yashan looked at the die before speaking calmly.

    "It seems..."

    "...your luck isn't very good."

    Then his voice became icy.

    "Let's prepare the instruments."


    ---

    For the next three hours...

    Heart-rending screams echoed throughout the prison.

    The two traffickers screamed until their voices became hoarse.

    They begged.

    They cursed.

    They wept.

    Eventually...

    Their cries weakened.

    Then faded.

    Finally...

    Silence returned.


    ---

    Yashan stood before the camera once more.

    His deep, distorted voice echoed throughout the room.

    "Members of the Summoning Beast Resistance Association..."

    "Fear me."

    "Offer me your bodies."

    "Offer me your souls."

    "I..."

    "...am your hell."

    "Remember my name."

    "Rebel Butcher No. 000."

    "If you wish to find me..."

    "...I'll be waiting."

    "Hehehehehe..."

    "Oh..."

    "Anyone who shares my ideals is welcome to join Rebel Butcher."

    "Perhaps..."

    "...you'll become Rebel Butcher No. 001."

    Only after recording ended did Yashan let out a long sigh.

    He quietly buried the two mutilated corpses deep underground.

    After dismissing the Steel Armor King transformation, he walked over to Su Hao with an unusually gloomy expression.

    "Boss Wei..."

    "I want a cigarette."

    Su Hao immediately glared at him.

    "Get lost."

    "Where did you learn that nonsense?"

    "You're only ten years old."

    "And you're already thinking about smoking?"

    Yashan immediately shrank back.

    "I was just asking..."

    He never dared mention smoking again.

    Thus, a future nicotine addict was successfully prevented from being born.


    ---

    Afterward, Yashan began dismantling the base.

    Everything worth taking was packed away.

    Everything unnecessary was destroyed.

    In less than an hour, the entire laboratory had been cleared.

    Each of them carried a large pack out of the cave.

    Yashan activated Transforming Steel.

    The steel spread beneath the mountain, swallowing the entire underground laboratory before dragging everything deep below the earth.

    Even for him, completing such a large-scale transformation required considerable effort.

    After finishing, he let out a long breath.

    "Boss Wei."

    "Where are we going now?"

    Su Hao replied,

    "It's been over half a year."

    "Sister Bai and the others have been living peacefully."

    "We don't need to keep watching over them anymore."

    "It's time to leave Yongxin City."

    As he spoke, Su Hao transformed into the Steel Armor King, spread his wings, and shot into the sky.

    Yashan immediately followed.


    ---

    The two flew at low altitude, deliberately avoiding cities and towns as they passed through one deserted mountain range after another.

    Whoosh—

    Whoosh—

    Flying just above the valleys offered a completely different experience from soaring high above the clouds.

    Towering cliffs, crystal-clear rivers, bizarre rock formations, and countless unfamiliar plants swept past beneath them.

    Yashan was captivated.

    Having rarely traveled before, every landscape felt fresh and wondrous.

    He couldn't help sighing once again.

    "Flying really is incredible."


    ---

    After nearly four hours of flight, Su Hao finally landed.

    He selected a quiet area surrounded by strange rock formations and found a broad cliff face.

    Setting down his luggage, he said,

    "This place should work."

    "Yashan."

    "Start building the new base."

    "I'll scout the surrounding area."

    Yashan dropped his backpack and nodded enthusiastically.

    "Leave it to me, Boss Wei."

    Su Hao immediately took off again.

    While surveying the area, he found the scenery exceptionally beautiful.

    The lakes were as clear as polished jade.

    The stone peaks rose in countless bizarre shapes.

    The entire region resembled a living painting.

    Curious, Su Hao searched the location online.

    Moments later...

    He found the answer.

    Autumn Flowers Across the Mountains.

    One of Zhongzhou's most famous tourist attractions.

    Located near Huaman City, it was renowned for its mountains covered in blooming flowers every autumn.

    Su Hao was speechless.

    "...A tourist attraction?"

    Building a secret base in one of the country's most famous scenic areas...

    Only Yashan could come up with something like that.

    After thinking for a moment, Su Hao flew back.


    ---

    When he landed, Yashan excitedly showed off his latest creation.

    "Boss Wei!"

    "Look!"

    "My Ten Rooms and One Hall Technique!"

    Su Hao looked over before smiling.

    "Not bad."

    "You've finally learned the essence of my construction techniques."

    "But..."

    "This isn't the right place."

    "We're moving somewhere else."

    Yashan froze.

    "Huh?"

    "What about the base I just finished?"

    Su Hao replied,

    "Seal the entrance."

    "Leave it here."

    "We might find a use for it someday."

    Yashan: "..."
