Chapter 105: Gentle Human x Fierce Wolf Beast 17

Half a month later.

The wealthy Luo family had completely collapsed, and Luo Yi, the head of the Luo family, had disappeared.

At the same time, after reading two weeks’ worth of books on Huaguo’s history, Xi Jing finally faced reality and understood the true reason for the birth of beastmen.

Human experiments were real!

Even though these experiments were a last resort during humanity’s brink of extinction, it didn’t change the cruel and undeniable truth.

Even today, many mad researchers continue to conduct human experiments in secret, trying to make beastmen stronger or revert them to their human state.

Unfortunately, all these experiments have failed.

Xi Jing’s appearance was like a bait dropped from the heavens, driving these researchers even crazier.

Among them, the Luo family, which started in the pharmaceutical industry, was one of these mad researchers.

Realizing this, Xi Jing broke into a cold sweat, hardly able to imagine that the lover who had been so attentive to him actually wanted to use him for human experiments.

He touched the new monkey ears on his head and quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Thank goodness, thank goodness…

Having sorted out the entire situation, Xi Jing decisively chose the identity of a monkey beastman and worked hard to play the role of an adult monkey beast.

Jian Tong didn’t want to deal with him, so he handed Xi Jing over to Ning Si, a shrewd man, to manage.

He didn’t bother asking about Xi Jing’s recent situation, simply closing his door and living his own life.

It was clear he didn’t want to have much to do with Xi Jing, nor did he want to see him causing distress.

But there were always people who couldn’t let him live in peace.

Originally, Jian Tong only needed to live out his natural life in this world without doing anything dangerous, but trouble always found him.

He was peacefully staying at Jinxiao Villa, took a nap, and woke up a prisoner, which truly annoyed him.

At the same time Jian Tong was in trouble, Xi Jing, who was adapting to the beast world with Ning Si, was also kidnapped, by none other than the missing Luo Yi.

When Ning Si received the news, he was furious. One was his friend, and the other was an old acquaintance under his watch—both taken away, as if trying to infuriate him.

“Find them! Quickly!”

“If they fall into the hands of some lunatic, their fate won’t be good.”

“Dig three feet into the ground if you have to, but find them!” Ning Si’s concern for Jian Tong and Xi Jing, who had been taken by an unknown hand, outweighed his anger, fearing these old acquaintances would be taken to a lab for dissection.

Outside, the rain was heavy, and even through the glass, the sound of pouring rain could be heard.

Jian Tong, whose feet were shackled with silver chains, frowned, pressing his hand against the transparent glass as if trying to block out the sound of the rain or perhaps it was an unconscious gesture.

He quickly withdrew his hand, cold fingers rubbing his throbbing temples.

At the door, a tiger beast stared obsessively at Jian Tong, his blue eyes tinged with a crazy darkness.

Jian Tong wasn’t particularly beautiful, but his demeanor and grace were captivating.

The tiger beast stepped forward, stopping beside Jian Tong, wanting to lift his hand to massage Jian Tong’s head, but Jian Tong, with a grim face, sidestepped to avoid him.

Jian Tong coldly said, “Jin Sui, I don’t like you being this close to me.”

Jin Sui raised an eyebrow with a hint of mischief, a smile always playing on his lips, but inside he was angry at Jian Tong’s rejection.

“Jian Tong, that brute Li Xiao is rough and barbaric, what’s there to love? Why not like me instead,” he self-recommended, “I’m gentle, considerate, and very understanding.”

Jian Tong pointed to the door and said, “Get out!”

Jin Sui didn’t move, “It’s been almost three days since I brought you back, why can’t you see the situation? That new husband of yours can’t protect you, why not choose me, I’ll treat you well.”

Jian Tong looked at him coldly, his clear black eyes filled with obvious disdain.

But he didn’t look at Jin Sui for long before leaning against the wall again, rubbing his temples, the gentle youth showing a hint of vulnerability.

“Ah…” he groaned softly, then forced himself to stop.

Even though the original soul had already reincarnated, the resentment lingered, occasionally tormenting him since it suddenly erupted that day.

Giving him a headache for no reason.

Not only was his sleep getting worse, but scenes from the past often flashed before his eyes, especially the bloodied faces of his parents after a rainy night car accident.

Jian Tong later guessed that the original owner buried and forgot the memory of his parents’ car accident not on purpose, but as a self-protective mechanism to forget things he didn’t want to remember after severe trauma.

Selective amnesia isn’t rare in medical history; it’s a way the body protects itself. However, the original owner forgot those things and thus escaped a calamity.

But now, the one who remembered those memories and bore the consequences was Lu Yan in Jian Tong’s body. He didn’t want to recall those events daily, but his brain kept replaying that scene endlessly.

The lingering resentment just wouldn’t dissipate, leaving Jian Tong in a constant state of gloom.

Jin Sui didn’t know the truth behind his headache, thinking he had angered Jian Tong to the point of a headache, so he gradually fell silent.

He worriedly stared at Jian Tong, “I only gave you some medicine to weaken your limbs, nothing else…”

“How have you become so frail?”

He had only abducted Jian Tong from Li Xiao, never laid a hand on him, nor tested any special drugs on him.

Yet Jian Tong was becoming more and more listless day by day.

Jian Tong opened his eyes to look at Jin Sui, his once clear black eyes now tinged with red, the scene of his parents shielding him and dying tragically reappearing before him, making it hard to stand.

His hand slowly slid down, “Jin Sui, help me find a doctor.”

Jin Sui helped the young man by the wall to sit on the bed, frowning, “What’s wrong with you? Why have you become so weak?”

“Did Li Xiao force you to do something?”

Jian Tong pressed his temples, “It’s not Li Xiao, I’m caught in a mental trap.”

He hesitated for a moment, “My condition… don’t tell anyone about it for now.”

Jin Sui’s gaze deepened, “Are you afraid Li Xiao would worry if he knew about your condition?”

Jian Tong didn’t speak, as if tacitly agreeing.

“You’re really good to him,” Jin Sui’s voice, filled with jealousy, suddenly rang out, his bright blue eyes also clouded with envy.

Jian Tong coldly rebuked, “Should I be good to you, the kidnapper, instead of him?!”

Are you kidding? He and Li Xiao are the couple here; Jin Sui is at best a stumbling block.

“Stop talking nonsense,” he said breathlessly, “I have a headache, I’m not in the mood to listen to you, go find me a doctor.”

Damn! This headache is so annoying.

Jin Sui couldn’t argue with him, angrily left, and actually went to find a doctor for him.

Jian Tong lay weakly on the bed, the scene before him changing from the car accident to a lost tragedy, showing him lost in his own neighborhood, school, and even being lost in a primitive forest for ten days…

He closed his eyes in distress, only to open them again as the scenes kept stimulating him.

“Is there no end to this?”

When will the last bit of resentment from the original owner completely disappear? And when will this looped movie end?

The hidden task has already been completed, the original owner has long since reincarnated, so why are these memories still tormenting him, the unlucky one?

What kind of crappy task is this? It seemed like a retirement plan, but troubles keep coming one after another. He’s only been here for a few months and has already encountered so many problems, giving him no peace!

Jian Tong bit his lip in anger, punching his own head, forcing the scenes in his mind to stop, to calm the restless resentment.

Not even ten minutes later, the resentment came back.

He really wanted to ask what this was all about, has the original owner’s resentment gone mad? Could it have latched onto him, the host?
