127: Drug testing tool

"Li Yang? No, he should be called 'Li Gui'. It seems your ambition is no smaller than Yun Yi's, if not larger..." Long Yuan sighed at the person mentioned in the message who was colluding with Yun Yi.

This person was named Li Yang, a teacher at Qianlong Middle School, one of the private middle schools in Fengyang County. He was at the Martial Master Realm, but secretly, he was the head of the Blood Wolf Hall's branch node in Fengyang County. He had been operating here for a long time and had about a hundred followers under him. These people usually hid in various corners of the county and would gather for activities at certain times or when notified, while the authorities were completely unaware!

With the presence of Li Yang and his group, Yun Yi naturally couldn't bypass them if he wanted to expand the Shadow Moon Hall's branch node here. After thinking it over, Yun Yi probably felt that instead of both sides fighting for the market, it would be better to cooperate. This way, they could not only avoid conflict but also find it easier to accomplish great things. Li Yang had the same idea, so the two of them hit it off like two peas in a pod and quickly colluded.

The "great thing" the two were planning shocked and enraged Long Yuan. He hadn't expected these cultists to dare to do anything. The most correct choice was to root them out entirely; any attempt to make them reform was wrong, and even having such a thought was a mistake!

Because these people weren't human at all!!!

They were just a bunch of beasts in human skin!!!

This wasn't just Long Yuan using the wrong words to curse them; the Three Great Heretical Cults all had their own special potions called "Beastification Fluid." In a sense, this fluid was also a type of genetic medicine, capable of strengthening the Physique, stimulating Bloodline Power, and causing beastification in humans.

For example, the Blood Wolf Hall's Beastification Fluid could cause Wolfification, giving the person certain characteristics of the Wolf Race for a short time, significantly increasing their Physique, strength, speed, and attack power, thus greatly boosting their combat strength. The Shadow Moon Hall caused Foxification, while the Ba Jue Hall caused Bearification. It was said that the higher the grade of the potion, the higher the degree of beastification. Furthermore, every time the potion was consumed, it would have a certain transformative effect on the Bloodline within the body. Consuming too much could cause the entire Bloodline to completely turn into that of a beast race. At that time, the person would no longer be human but would completely turn into a Mutant Beast!!!

Therefore, calling them beasts was not an exaggeration at all.

The major event planned by Li Yang and Yun Yi was related to this Beastification Fluid. It wasn't that they were researching the potion, but that their superiors required them to collect a batch of human guinea pigs for drug testing!

This was because while the Beastification Fluid was fine for Mutant Beasts themselves, it posed a significant risk to the Human Race. The two did not share the same Bloodline, and forced transformation would lead to many hidden dangers. Therefore, pharmacists needed test subjects to verify the rationality of the medicine's formula.

Long Yuan had heard a lot about human guinea pigs for drug testing back on Earth. Many innovative drugs required test subjects to try them out personally. Those with good luck might be fine and even earn a testing fee, while those with bad luck might die after just one dose!

It could be said that test subjects were completely gambling with their lives!

Ordinary people should never do such a thing unless absolutely necessary. It was like playing Russian roulette; no one knew if a bullet would fly out in the next round!

Thus, one could imagine what would happen to those captured for drug testing. The key was that Li Yang and Yun Yi's superiors required these human guinea pigs to be under twenty years old, which naturally led them to target students in these middle schools.

As one of the targets, Long Yuan felt extremely speechless. He cursed inwardly, "Damn! This other world is truly full of killing intent, never a moment of peace! If I didn't have some luck and the Heavenly Dao Eye with me, I probably wouldn't have survived three episodes after the Transmigration!!!"

Since transmigrating more than two months ago, he had tried to be as low-key as possible, but he was always pushed in unexpected directions by various accidents, constantly encountering lethal threats. And this was just in tiny Fengyang County. If the Transmigration location had been a larger base or a wilderness area, he might have been killed and sent to transmigrate all over again by now!

"Could this be the special 'benefit' of a transmigrator? Or is it because my Transmigration changed certain laws of heaven and earth here, causing major events to constantly occur within the vicinity of the transmigrator?" Long Yuan suddenly thought of this. Thinking carefully, the possibility was high. Otherwise, why would the Heavenly Dao Eye consider him the Person of the Calamity? And why did Sabado from Xuanji Tower always say that inexplicable phrase every time he drew a lot related to him?

"In that case, I'll temporarily treat myself as the Person of the Calamity and see! Hmm, if I really am the Person of the Calamity, how would I deal with this matter?" Long Yuan pondered.

He found that being the Person of the Calamity wasn't all bad. For instance, although he encountered constant danger here, he also gained immense benefits. Just the Heavenly Dao Space alone had allowed him to be reborn, transforming from a weakling into the prototype of a Child of God. So, even if there were some hardships, he would just view them as training for himself. Compared to the benefits he had gained, these hardships really didn't amount to much!

At this thought, Long Yuan's spirits rose. He immediately browsed the information quickly and soon discovered several valuable clues, one of which actually related to his villa in the Yuhua District!!!

"How can there be such a coincidence in the world?! It seems this incident is indeed a trial for me..." Long Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

The story behind this clue was quite convoluted, and it started because Yun Yi discovered the secret of Cai Xiang, a teacher also at Fengyang No. 1 High School. Cai Xiang was the teacher of the siblings Ye He and Ye Xuan. He had left a deep impression on Long Yuan during the Awakening ceremony that day. So, when Long Yuan found that Cai Xiang was also involved in Yun Yi's plot, he couldn't help but feel surprised. However, he discovered that Cai Xiang was not a cultist but had other motives; he was dragged into it passively, and even now, he hadn't realized that Yun Yi had noticed what he was secretly doing... "Cai Xiang's side is actually just a diversion for Yun Yi and Li Yang. They might not necessarily act on it, but it concerns the safety of my villa, so I naturally can't let them destroy it! How about I expose Cai Xiang's matter first to 'strike the mountain to shake the tiger' and see how Yun Yi and Li Yang react..." Long Yuan thought, making a decision in his mind.

He continued to stay in the training room until school was over in the afternoon. When he opened the door and went out on time, he found that the other students' enthusiasm for cultivation was much higher than usual. It seemed they were all aiming to practice until they were exhausted. Long Yuan's eyes swept over the dozen or so cloud cabins on the side of the field and he immediately understood. These people had been crushed by experts from all over the country this morning; if they didn't train themselves to exhaustion now, they probably wouldn't be able to sleep tonight!
