“Those horrible materials we collected in Xiaozhou Village attracted our president’s attention. Over the past few months, we have conducted many investigations and found that the situation had become so severe that it was very critical to have this meeting,” Kong Haobo introduced Chu Qianxun to the meeting at their table.
At that moment, a tall, middle-aged man came from the podium. His eyes were sharp and powerful, and he was steady and majestic, but his eyes were locked tightly and he was worried.
“This is our founding president, Gu Zhengqing,” Kong Haobo’s eyes were bright, and he excitedly introduced the men on the podium to the two. It could be seen that the young saint was full of admiration and worship for this president.
Gu Zhengqing, the chairman of Genesis boarded the podium, did not speak first, but just made a gesture. The lights in the lobby dimmed, and the beam of the projector casted a video onto the curtain directly in front.
A light curtain was lit on the screen, and the picture was not particularly clear. Obviously, it was taken quietly from afar. There was an endless expanse of snowfields. The goose feathers and snow fell in the icefields. Through the snow falling in front of the camera, one could see some huge shadows moving in the depths of the icefields. From there, some low and dull throat sounds arose.
“What’s that? Is it a demon? So big?”
“It doesn’t seem right. By their pronunciation, it seems like a human.”

The picture was enlarged to give a close-up of a demon. It was a huge demon with fangs and claws covered with colorful feathers, but a human face grew on his chest. His face looked painful, his hands were bound by a special chain, and the end of the chain was embedded into his body.
A human saint in a robe, hovering in the air, waved a long whip in his hand at the half-human and half-demon. The demon’s expression of fear and pain turned out to beg for mercy like a human.
The sound of discussion in the hall exploded with a buzz. Obviously, most people recognized the Shennai’s sign on the robe.
“Everyone!” Gu Zhengqing raised his hand to quiet everyone, “This is a video taken by my people who took the risk to go deep into the icefield, near the Ark Fortress where Shennai lives now.”
“President Gu, what do you mean… Shennai has mastered the technology of controlling demons now?” someone in the meeting asked.
Gu Zhengqing clicked on the screen, and the screen changed, and the abandoned half-human and half-devil creatures living in the experimental building of Xiaozhou Village appeared. Most of their bodies were still humans, and only a part of them showed different degrees of demonization. There was nothing aggressive, with no ability to take care of themselves. In front of the camera, a woman whose lower body turned into a demon appeared in the video. She lost her human legs and left a tail-like thing. She could only crawl on the ground to survive.
“Oh, what’s this thing? Disgusting! Was it a guinea pig? Isn’t it adult-like, what are they doing, kill it,” there was a voice full of disgust at the venue, and there were many who said the same.
At the time when the meeting was lively in the auditorium, at an unattended water point in Beizhen, a small bottle was in Xiaoyan’s wings. The black feathers quivered slightly, and her face was pale.
“Ah Xiao, do you still have to use it? We have put a lot in the past few days. Many people in this fortress will be infected.” She was hesitant in her heart, “Why should we do this?”
Zhong Lixiao’s wrinkled hand took the bottle and poured the black liquid into the well in front of him without hesitation.
“What’s wrong? We are taking advantage of the liveliness here to get more partners. Haven’t you always felt lonely?” He watched the liquid melt in the well water and stretched his expression, “It is so much diluted. The people who can be recruited, become a natural choice. It depends on their own destiny.”
“…”
Xiaoyan hung her head behind Zhong Lixiao and walked to another water point.
She was still very young when she was caught in the Shennai Laboratory. Those painful tortures and indifference made her one heart lose the sense of right and wrong from childhood.
But at this moment somehow, her heart panicked.
“Ah Xiao, I, I don’t want companions anymore,” she stopped in the dark alley. She rubbed the black wings, lowered her head and said softly, “We can look for a place where there is no one and live quietly, like the days we spent in the castle. Cooking and reading books. Isn’t it good?”
Ah Xiao, who was walking in front, turned around. His old face almost dissolved in the dim shadow, and she couldn’t see any expression on his face.
“Even you, must you betray me too?” A hoarse voice came from the alley.
“I didn’t, I don’t mean that,” Xiaoyan lowered her head.
“Look at me. You want me to be in a place where there is no one, and watch me aging, decaying, and even rotting in bed day by day.” A twig-like finger stuck out from the darkness, pointing at the sunshine, “And those people, they are still alive in the sunshine, eating good food, enjoying and laughing at us.”
Xiaoyan turned her face, closed her eyes, and stopped talking.
