Peerless Genius System Chapter 609 - Transformation

Chapter 609: Transformation

Xiao Luo had a cold, ruthless look on his face. He walked up purposefully to the man in the black suit, then squatted next to him and said, “Tell me your name and rank. You only have one shot at telling me the truth, so I hope you cherish it!”

It was a straightforward sentence, but it carried an ominous ultimatum.

The man in the black suit wisely chose to tell all. How would he dare lie to such an all-powerful and enigmatic being? Although his body was in excruciating pain, and blood was streaming profusely from his mouth and nostrils, he gritted his teeth and replied, “Argh. I… I’m Major General Matsus.h.i.+ta Take… of the second division… Ri nation Ground Self-Defense Force…”

“Is there a human research laboratory in there that conducts experiments on live subjects?” Xiao Luo probed further.

Matsus.h.i.+ta Take’s face contorted in pain, but he froze the moment he heard Xiao Luo because this was a highly cla.s.sified operation. He was a Major General, and if this secret leaked out, he would have to face the consequences.

But Xiao Luo’s patience ran out. He grabbed the man by the scruff of his neck and dragged him from under the wreck like he was dragging a dead dog. The man’s right leg was crushed and trapped underneath the overturned jeep. And Xiao Luo’s action ripped his leg off, causing a copious amount of blood to splatter from the wound. It was a gruesome sight as Matsus.h.i.+ta Take’s thigh bone was visible. Unable to bear the pain, he howled in agony, causing everyone’s hair to stand on ends.

What they saw horrified the other three men in the wreck. They looked at Xiao Luo like he was the devil, and it filled their eyes with fear.

“Look into my eyes!”

Xiao Luo spoke sternly to Matsus.h.i.+ta Take before he put him under hypnosis, and the major general fell into a deep altered state. As long as the other party’s will power was weak, the hypnosis would produce the desired results. Matsus.h.i.+ta Take’s willpower was not strong enough, and Xiao Luo hypnotized him within a few beats. His eyes became glazed and seemed out of focus, as he responded sluggishly to a question Xiao Luo posed.

Xiao Luo very quickly found out that there was a human research lab in there, and its goal was to study genetically modified humans. They were developing warriors who were invincible for deployment in future battles. The key person overseeing this operation was a Major General by the name of Yamas.h.i.+ta Tomotaka. And what they were experimenting on were not animals but living human beings. They were mostly Hua nationals who had come to Ri Nation, and the abductions resulted from the information provided by the police.

The police?

Xiao Luo frowned and continued to probe for more information.

The answer came from Matsus.h.i.+ta Take’s very lips, and the name he provided was none other than—the Chief of Police, Tanaka Hiros.h.i.+. The police chief was in cahoots with the military, and it was he who provided the information that w.a.n.g Leyou’s body was being transported to the station. The laboratory then sent their people to ambush the police car and s.n.a.t.c.hed w.a.n.g Leyou’s corpse.

Xiao Luo also pressed for information on Fu Yiren’s whereabouts. Matsus.h.i.+ta Take answered that there was a lady whose entire body was filled with potent toxins, and she was being detained in the research facility. They had not done anything to Fu Yiren yet, except to extract blood from her every day for their research. The toxins in her blood had high research value compared to the genetically modified soldiers.

“Why did you choose to use Hua nationals as your research subjects?”

“Because those people are the lowest form of humanity and deserve to be enslaved. They’re no different from lab rats!” Matsus.h.i.+ta Take responded in his subconscious state and without emotion.

Being from the Hua Nation, Xiao Luo was infuriated upon hearing this. On top of that, he had just confirmed that there was a research facility in the base, and they were conducting live experiments on Hua nationals. The moment Xiao Luo heard that what the major general said, he instantly meted out the death sentence.

“Very well, then. To h.e.l.l with all of you!”

He had not planned on killing anyone while he was in Ri Nation, but he could not hold back any longer.

Xiao Luo clasped Matsus.h.i.+ta Take’s throat and twisted it forcefully. The vertebrae snapped with a crack and the major general’s head lolled limply to its side. Thankfully for the major general, he was still in a state of hypnosis and he did not feel the pain.

“No, please… Please don’t kill us…”

“We’re not from the laboratory. We’re just Major General Matsus.h.i.+ta’s subordinates…”

But Xiao Luo did not spare their lives. He kicked each of them once and smashed their ribs, and the blow ruptured their internal organs, killing them instantly.

“Suzuki Ikuo, come here with your men!”

When Suzuki Ikuo heard Xiao Luo calling for him, he snapped out of his shock. He knew better than to talk about being patriotic anymore, especially after seeing Xiao Luo slaughter the four men. After all, Suzuki Ikuo was from the yakuza, and staying alive was second nature to him.

What had the world come to?

How could such a terrifying beast such as Xiao Luo exist?

Suzuki Ikuo’s face appeared forlorn, and he looked like he was on the verge of tears. The mute and deaf men followed closely behind him.

“Mr. Xiao Han, do you… do you have any instructions for us?” Suzuki Ikuo asked, bowing humbly.

“Strip them of their clothes and put them on.” Xiao Luo said. He then bent down to take off Matsus.h.i.+ta Take’s clothes.

Suzuki Ikuo immediately saw through the plan and said, “You want us to disguise ourselves as these four and sneak in?”

Xiao Luo looked up and glared at him. “Since you already know, cut the c.r.a.p and put on their clothes now. That is an order, and if you dare defy me again, I’ll send you straight to h.e.l.l before the poison even has the chance to kick in.”

“Gulp!”

Suzuki Ikuo was so frightened that he started shaking. There was no way he would take this lightly, not after seeing how easily Xiao Luo had killed those men. It was like slaughtering chickens and ducks. He immediately stopped talking and started removing the clothes from the bespectacled man’s body. He then smacked the deaf and mute men who were still in a stupor and hurried them to dress in the clothes of the other two dead men.

Xiao Luo did not react to them. He made quick work of stripping Matsus.h.i.+ta Take and changing into his clothes.

He then tossed the four bodies like shotput into the dense forest by the road. That sight immediately sent s.h.i.+vers down Suzuki Ikuo’s spine. This man kills and plunders at will and was undoubtedly more terrifying than the yakuza. Look at how effortlessly he’s dealing with those bodies, he thought. There was no way he would’ve believed it had someone told him that this was the first time the Hua national was doing something like this.

“Mr. Xiao Han, this Matsus.h.i.+ta Take is one of the important officials involved in the research facility. They will surely recognize such a high-ranking officer, and there’s no way we’ll be able to make it past security disguised in their clothes,” Suzuki Ikuo said. He did not dare speak too loudly and he felt nothing but awe and fear for Xiao Luo.

“Is that so?”

Xiao Luo smirked. As he spoke, the bones in his body started transforming with a grotesquely cracking sound ringing. First, his height and build changed, before his face took on the form of the major general.

“Ahhhh!”

The three men shrieked at the same time. Suzuki Ikuo, the deaf man, and the mute man were all so shocked that they fell to the ground on their haunches, staring up at Xiao Luo with their eyes wide open. Xiao Luo slowly transformed into Matsus.h.i.+ta Take right in front of their eyes. His build, height, and facial features were identical to the man.

Good G.o.d, is he the devil?

To Suzuki Ikuo, this was the single most horrifying thing he had ever seen in his life. No, it was hundreds of times more terrifying than watching Sadako.

“Any further questions?”

Xiao Luo said and smiled at them. He mimicked Matsus.h.i.+ta Take mannerism, pulling out a cigar from his pocket and sticking it between his teeth. He lit the cigar and took a long drag as if he enjoyed it. This was the transformation technique he had exchanged with the system for 80,000 points. Not only could he transform to look like someone else, but he could also even mimic their voice.

Suzuki Ikuo and the mute man shook their heads, looking like two empty sh.e.l.ls that had lost their souls.

The deaf man followed suit when he saw them shake their heads, and he had a similar expression on his face—one of immense fear.
