Invincibility starts when I see the BOSS health bar.

Chapter 1022 Error
"This is..." Fang Yu's pupils shrank sharply. Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked to see this scene with his own eyes.

Ding Hui's eyes were already shining, as if she had seen a priceless treasure. She couldn't help but step forward, reaching out to touch the cold outer wall of the incubation tank, feeling the faint life fluctuations and rhythms emanating from it. She murmured to herself, "Perfect... truly a perfect environment! The proportions of these medicinal solutions... and those array patterns that stabilize vital signs..."

Secret Rabbit walked up to her, a hint of pride in her voice: "As you can see, this is where we train 'Honored Slaves'."

nourish……

Fang Yu looked at the rows of humanoid weapons, soaked in nutrient solution and "produced" like goods, and a chill ran down his spine.

Although he had met Zunnu before, he was still deeply shocked to see this "production" scene, which resembled a factory assembly line.

This isn't just ordinary training of assassins; it's creating artificial believers?!

They forcibly transformed people into believers through technological means!
This is simply unbelievable!
The Nirvana Organization's ambitions are far from insignificant!

If the technology they possess were to be leaked, it would be enough to cause a massive upheaval!
"Why not expand production?" Fang Yu suppressed his shock and asked疑惑地问道, "If there were enough of these... Venerable Slaves, the organization's strength should be able to expand rapidly, right?"

Secret Rabbit sighed and spread his hands, saying, "There are still some key technical bottlenecks to overcome. This batch is a relatively mature result after many experiments, but it is still far from perfect. Moreover, suitable 'base bodies' are also very rare."

Meanwhile, Ding Hui and MiTu were already having a heated discussion about technical issues.

"...How did you handle the rejection reaction? Did you use an extract of 'Blood Orchid' or 'Earth's Core'?"

"Dr. Ding is indeed exceptionally knowledgeable! We used a modified version of 'Earth Core Essence' combined with a special harmonizing formation..."

"What about the conduction problem? I see something like a nine-segmented nucleus embedded in their bodies?"

“That’s right! But it’s not a nine-segment core; the cost is too high. It’s our synthesized ‘bionic spirit core.’ Although its efficiency is only 70% of that of a nine-segment core, its advantage lies in its ability to be mass-produced…”

"Brilliant! How come I didn't think of this idea! But the 'Meteorite Sand' and 'Active Night-blooming Grass' needed for the 'Bionic Spirit Pivot' are too difficult to obtain..."

"Hehe, Dr. Ding is right. But here, these resources... are quite plentiful."

Two women, one dressed in snow-white robes and the other in simple attire, excitedly discussed technical details about these cold and cruel creations—details that would send chills down the spines of ordinary martial artists.

Their eyes gleamed with the same light of exploration into the boundaries of knowledge, as if they were engaged in a lively academic discussion, completely ignoring the ethical and life-related weight behind it.

Fang Yu listened from the side, his brows furrowing. The technical terms were like gibberish to him, and he felt uncomfortable with the "mad scientist" aura emanating from the two women together.

Zhuge Shi clearly shared the same sentiment. She gently tugged at Fang Yu's sleeve and whispered, "Brother Fang, they probably won't stop anytime soon. Shall I take you somewhere else to look around?"

Fang Yu nodded; he also wanted to leave the training hall that made him feel so oppressed.

After taking one last look at Ding Hui and the Secret Rabbit, who were still having a heated discussion, and at the "Lord Slaves" floating in the nutrient solution, Fang Yu followed Zhuge Shi and turned to walk towards the other exit of the hall.

His vigilance and fear of the Nirvana Organization had reached its peak.

Fang Yu followed Zhuge Shi out of the oppressive slave training hall and continued along the corridor.

Occasionally, closed iron gates appear on both sides of the corridor, marked with obscure symbols or codes, clearly indicating that these are the more core areas of the Nirvana Organization, temporarily closed to outsiders.

The surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of their footsteps echoed in the empty corridor.

Zhuge Shi seemed to want to alleviate the discomfort she had just experienced in the training hall, and she quietly explained some unimportant facilities and functions to Fang Yu.

Fang Yu listened absentmindedly, his mind still largely absorbed in the shock of what he had just seen and heard.

Artificial believers...mass production of slaves...the ambition and technological strength of the Nirvana Organization put considerable pressure on Fang Yu.

Just as they passed a dimly lit corner of a corridor, the shadow beside them suddenly rippled like water, and a figure silently "slipped" out from it, blocking their path.

The man was tall and thin, dressed in a dark, night-like bodysuit, and wore a sheep-face mask that seemed to be both smiling and crying, revealing only a pair of eyes that shimmered with an eerie green light in the shadows.

His appearance was completely unexpected, and his aura almost blended into the surrounding shadows, making him extremely difficult to detect unless he deliberately revealed himself.

Fang Yu paused, his eyes sharpening instantly. A surge of power coursed through his body as he asked in a deep voice, "Who?"

Zhuge Shi recognized the newcomer, his brows furrowing slightly, his tone tinged with displeasure: "Mu Yang? What are you doing here, sneaking around like this?"

The man known as the Grave Sheep let out a low, hoarse laugh, like the hooting of an owl. His gaze passed over Zhuge Shi and landed directly on Fang Yu, scrutinizing him from head to toe with undisguised scrutiny and a hint of contempt.

"Floating Dragon, it's not very proper for you to bring strangers around the organization like that, is it? Does Lord Shadow Monkey know about this?"

Zhuge Shi snorted coldly and raised her chin: "Since I brought people in, I naturally consulted with Shadow Monkey and followed His Majesty's orders. What, do you have a problem with that?" She deliberately emphasized the word "His Majesty," showing that she had been given a high degree of authorization for this operation.

The expression on his face beneath the tomb sheep mask clearly shifted. Although his expression was obscured, a subtle fluctuation appeared in the chilling aura emanating from him.

He clearly did not receive any relevant notification, which suggests that his position and right to know within the organization are not as high as Zhuge Shi's, or at least he was excluded from this matter.

[Total Sui An: 1000/1000.]

A clear number of health points (in thousands) floated above the Grave Sheep's head.

Fang Yu looked at the bright red numbers and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Mu Yang seemed taken aback by Zhuge Shi's words and was somewhat embarrassed. He could only turn his attention back to Fang Yu, his tone provocative: "Oh? This is the helper you found to fill the vacancy in Bone Tiger? Looks like... his strength isn't that great."

The aura he sensed from Fang Yu didn't seem particularly strong, which made him somewhat dismissive of him.

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Shi immediately felt indignant on Fang Yu's behalf. She stepped forward, blocking Fang Yu's path, and said in a firm tone, "Mu Yang, watch your attitude! Young Master Diao is a distinguished guest I invited. He will surely become the new Bone Tiger! Until he officially joins, you'd better be polite!"

"Bone Tiger?" Tomb Sheep's voice suddenly rose, tinged with disbelief and intense jealousy.

Although the twelve generals of the organization are nominally of the same rank, there are actually subtle differences in status between their different positions.

A position like "Bone Tiger," which leans towards direct combat and is responsible for crucial assault missions, clearly holds a higher status and can mobilize more resources than "Grave Sheep," who is more focused on logistics. In other words, if Fang Yu were to join the organization as "Bone Tiger," he, as "Grave Sheep," might actually be treated as inferior!
How could he possibly accept this? Against a kid of unknown origin and seemingly mediocre strength?

"Hmph!" Mu Yang snorted heavily, his tone icy. "Even with His Excellency's permission, until he formally passes the test and completes the ceremony, he is still an outsider! Fu Long, I advise you to keep a close eye on your man and not take him out to wander around, lest he see something he shouldn't and get into trouble!"

After saying that, he glared coldly at Fang Yu, and his figure once again sank slowly into the shadows beside him as if it had merged into water, disappearing without leaving behind only a faint, chilling aura.

Zhuge Shi pursed her lips in the direction the tomb sheep had disappeared, clearly not taking the warning to heart. "Ignore him, that's just how he is, always appearing and disappearing unpredictably, and he's petty too. Let's continue our stroll."

Fang Yu nodded without saying anything more.

The appearance and hostility of the Grave Sheep gave him a more direct understanding that the Nirvana organization was not a monolithic entity.

Factional struggles and power struggles exist everywhere.

Zhuge Shi then led Fang Yu on a tour of the permitted area, showing them some standard training facilities and supply warehouses. While still impressive, they were far less impactful than the slave training base.

About half an hour later, the two returned to the vicinity of the hall where they had parted ways with Secret Rabbit and Ding Hui.

At this point, Ding Hui and MiTu seemed to have finished their technical discussion.

Ding Hui's face still had a flush of excitement, and her eyes were shining; it was clear that she had gained a lot from the exchange.

The Secret Rabbit remained as cold and shrewd as ever, and greeted Fang Yu and Zhuge Shi upon their return.

"Young Master Diao, how was the tour?" Secret Rabbit asked.

"Not bad, it's quite an eye-opener," Fang Yu replied casually.

Without further pleasantries, Secret Rabbit got straight to the point: "Young Master Fang, Lord Shadow Monkey has already arranged the assessment task for you to join the organization."

Fang Yu's expression turned serious: "Please speak."

“The mission is not complicated,” the Secret Rabbit said calmly. “Find the corpse of the previous Bone Tiger and bring it back to the organization intact. Once you complete this mission, the organization will help you become the new Bone Tiger completely. At that time, the organization will also do its best to solve the problem of the curse on you.”

"The corpse of the previous Bone Tiger?" Fang Yu frowned slightly upon hearing this, a hint of doubt rising in his mind. "Wasn't he already confirmed dead? Why bring his body back?" When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out. What value does a corpse have to the organization? Is it for burial? He didn't think the Nirvana Organization was such a sentimental organization.

The Secret Rabbit did not answer directly: "This is the organization's rule. There are some special steps involved in the succession of each Bone Tiger."

Zhuge Shi, standing nearby, chimed in, "Fang Yu, you may not know this, but the 'facilitation' of each Bone Tiger consumes a large amount of the organization's precious resources. The most crucial of these is the 'Supreme Golden Petal Flower.' The power of this rare flower deeply integrates with the host's bones, so even after the host dies, their remains still contain considerable energy and research value. If we can recover it, we should naturally try our best to do so."

Her explanation was reasonable and focused on the reuse of resources.

However, Ding Hui, who was standing to the side, narrowed her eyes almost imperceptibly, and a knowing smile flashed across her lips.

She was clearly thinking more deeply. It was merely about recycling resources? It was probably not that simple.

Although Fang Yu also felt that Zhuge Shi's explanation made some sense, he instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he did not have enough information at the moment to investigate further.

Just as he was about to ask more details about the location where the previous Bone Tiger had fallen, a sudden change occurred!
Ding Hui, who had been standing quietly to the side, suddenly changed her expression, abruptly closed her eyes, and pressed her fingers hard on her temples, as if trying her best to sense something.

A moment later, she suddenly opened her eyes, the excitement on her face vanished, replaced by a look of solemnity and anxiety.

"Diao Deyi!" Ding Hui's voice carried a barely perceptible urgency, "Xiao Hui is in trouble!"

Fang Yu felt a chill run down his spine!
"Location?" he asked without hesitation.

"West of the city, the area near the dock! The sensation is very faint, she's moving very fast!" Ding Hui said urgently.

"Let's go!" Fang Yu made a decisive decision, not bothering to ask any more questions about the Bone Tiger mission, and turned to rush out.

Ding Hui naturally followed immediately.

Seeing this, Zhuge Shi, though unaware of the specifics of what had happened, knew from Fang Yu and Ding Hui's expressions that the situation was urgent.

However, she did not follow immediately. Instead, she learned about the mission details from the Secret Rabbit before quickly catching up with Fang Yu and the others.

The three of them moved like gusts of wind, quickly retracing their steps and leaving the Nirvana Organization's secret base hidden beneath its dilapidated exterior, speeding towards the dock area.

……

Meanwhile, deep within a narrow alley in the western part of the city, filled with the smells of fish and rotting garbage.

Diao Xiaohui, like an emotionless shadow, silently followed a slender figure ahead.

That was Gao Meng, the target of the mission entrusted to Fang Yu.

Gao Meng's actions seemed casual, as if she were strolling around, but Diao Xiaohui, with her enhanced senses, could detect that she seemed wary. It was as if she was deliberately luring her, or rather, testing her.

Has it been discovered?

Finally, at a corner piled with old wooden crates and discarded fishing nets, Gao Meng's figure suddenly accelerated and disappeared in a flash.

Oh no! We're going to lose them!
Diao Xiaohui immediately followed, but just as she turned the corner, a fair and slender hand, yet containing terrifying power, emerged from the shadows on the side like a venomous snake and precisely gripped her neck!

An immense force erupted instantly, making it impossible for her to break free!

"Ugh!" Diao Xiaohui let out a suppressed groan as her feet were lifted off the ground.

It was Gao Meng who made the move.

With a teasing smile, like a cat playing with a mouse, she looked at Diao Xiaohui struggling in her grasp: "Little mouse, aren't you tired after following me for so long?"
