I Am Extraordinary Alone
Chapter 80 - 79: Emptiness

Chapter 80: Chapter 79: Emptiness

Hans dropped the tablet and crawled backwards in a panic, like a startled dog.

But quickly, an immense force grasped the back of his neck, and his body levitated from the ground, hoisted and moved toward the nearest table.

Wei Tianyang grabbed Hans, swept the computer off the table, and then pressed him onto the surface.

"Don’t kill me! The one who harmed you wasn’t me, it was that crazy bitch!" Hans struggled to say.

"I heard everything, Hans, I wasn’t anesthetized at the time, you deceived me!" Wei Tianyang roared with anger.

"But think about it... Wei, aren’t you fine now? You have superhuman strength... you’re still jumping around, I, in a sense, am also the one who gave you strength! Right?! Don’t kill me, Wei, I can tell you where Ruan Yu is... How’s that?" Hans tried to justify.

"Tell me what 091 really is, and I might just spare your life," Wei Tianyang demanded.

"You said it!" Hans replied.

"I never lie, Hans," Wei Tianyang said.

"I’ll tell you everything about 091, and then... you let me go, I will never show up in front of you again, okay?" Hans said.

Wei Tianyang nodded, then released Hans.

He gasped for air, pulled over a stool from the side, and sat down exhausted.

"091... I knew it had potential, look, by now you probably already have the real strength of a member of the Superpower Special Forces..." Hans said.

"What is that thing exactly?" Wei Tianyang asked.

"It’s the only humanoid among the Heavenly Falling Objects housed by Tiantai Pharmaceutical... But when we found it, it was severely damaged, missing a head, its left arm, and right leg..."

"Our first phase of trials involved 20 Medicine People who didn’t survive a week, the third phase, the fourth phase... all had the same result, no matter how we formulated the Black Medicine, part of the subjects’ bodies would wither and decay within a week after the drug was injected... until your arrival..."

"You were the last subject of the sixty-ninth phase, code number 1202, not only did you survive the week, you also exhibited traits of superpowers, that’s why Ruan Yu cared so much about you, she even got you out of the security bureau after you killed someone," Hans explained.

"I know all this... the year I ’died,’ did you make any new progress?" Wei Tianyang asked, showing some impatience.

"After you ’died’... your body began to blacken and rot like the previous Medicine People, we extracted DNA and blood samples from you, as well as other bodily fluids for our research, and then we ran several more trials..."

"Honestly, that year the civil war broke out in Chicken Snake Country, which helped us a lot... We had many more subjects, and our research made significant progress."

"Thanks to your data... the new batches of subjects all showed abilities similar to yours... but... it was not until you woke up... that we realized, in terms of the strength and control of their powers... they were nowhere close to you..."

"Punching with a force of tens of tons, accompanied by an effect of annihilation, was nothing special... those subjects later all more or less suffered from hallucinations of hearing and sight, at least... that’s what we thought at the time..."

"But one day, Ruan Yu told me that she remembered you mentioned the previous Medicine People during your time in the lab half a year ago... only then did we realize that being able to see the apparitions of past dead subjects was the true superpower of 091."

Hans continued.

"How many of the later subjects are still alive?" Wei Tianyang asked.

Hans’s implication was that inside Chicken Snake Country, there was still a group of Medicine People who had the same abilities as him, albeit weaker?

"They’re all dead," Hans answered.

"Dead?! You actually expect me to believe that?!" Wei Tianyang shouted in anger.

"I! I have no reason to lie to you, Wei! That’s also why... the team of myself and Ruan Yu came to this situation step by step!"

"After you woke up, after you broke the giant iron sphere that imprisoned 091... we escaped the containment site and tried to contact those Medicine People... but they were all dead... they were brain dead the moment 091 disappeared..."

"Wei... can you tell me, where did you put 091?" Hans asked cautiously.

091, now... inside Wei Tianyang’s body, under the light, his shadow took the form of the Heavenly Falling Objects; not just 091, but also with moths’ wings on its back.

This immense shadow seemed invisible to the average person.

"It’s not in the sphere; I fell with it, the sphere shattered, it was empty inside," Wei Tianyang said.

"But... but that’s impossible... then why... why haven’t you suffered brain death like those Medicine People...?" Hans fell into a musing.

Had the black giant been absorbed into his body... or rather, after it entered Wei Tianyang’s body, did those who were injected with Black Medicine then suffer brain death?

It sounded as though the giant had retracted its own powers and chosen him.

Was it alive?

"Is that all you know?" Wei Tianyang was somewhat dissatisfied.

What Hans had said didn’t provide much useful information; what exactly was the black giant? Their team had researched up to now and had uncovered less than him.

"That’s all I know, these pieces of information were all paid for with human lives, to be honest... Wei, you should continue to cooperate with our research... That way, we can grasp the situation of 091 quicker..." Hans said.

Wei Tianyang laughed out loud, then looked around, the guerrillas also laughed, while Li Bin stood behind Hans, toying with a dagger.

"He’s useless, just kill him," Li Bin said.

Wei Tianyang shook his head and said, "I want... to do it myself."

Hans looked at Wei Tianyang, then turned towards the empty corner of the room, his breathing quickened, although he couldn’t see it, he was certain, right now, this room was definitely crammed with something.

"Hans... of course, I will cooperate with your research... Of course, I would," Wei Tianyang stretched out his hand and grabbed Hans’s skull.

"Wei... you promised me!" Hans pleaded.

"You made promises to me as well," Wei Tianyang said.

"It shouldn’t be like this... I... I’m not so evil... I didn’t do anything bad! I was just researching extraterrestrial life... I am a scientist!" Hans struggled, but his limbs were quickly bound by Li Bin.

"Then experience it well, Hans, experience... the force of tens of tons, and annihilation... I believe your body will help you remember these data..." Wei Tianyang’s right hand started to exert force.

A wave of energy surged from his heart, rushing along the nerves to his right hand, a grayish-black band of light appeared on his right arm.

Hans screamed as his skull made a cracking sound, he shrieked, but didn’t last long, after his brain tissue was destroyed, Hans immediately died, the pain didn’t last more than 5 seconds.

The force was too great, Wei Tianyang couldn’t control his strength precisely, otherwise, he would have certainly wished to make Hans’s death slower.

He flung Hans’s corpse to the ground, looking at his blood-stained right hand.

"How does revenge taste?" Li Bin asked.

Wei Tianyang frowned and said, "I thought... I thought it would be satisfying, I thought I would dance with joy, but no... I only feel emptiness now."

"That’s right, Wei Tianyang, revenge is not something that is exciting or pleasant. We have already borne losses, suffered harm, and revenge cannot make amends. So... when the enemy is dead, your rage, all your drive, will also fade away with it, and then, only emptiness remains," Li Bin said.

"But Li Bin... I won’t stop," Wei Tianyang smiled and said.

"Hm?"

"I have found a greater meaning; I kill them not for narrow revenge, just as your rebellion is not just for killing the martial government people."

Li Bin nodded; Wei Tianyang was very right.

"What you want is the country of your ideals..."

Wei Tianyang looked out the window; winter had come, the sky was pale, the cold wind biting, the desolate buildings, and the withered artificial forest were bleak.

"What I want is absolute fairness and justice," he said.
