Desperate people, accept the seed of my soul!

Late at night, at the VIP terminal of Chenxi City International Airport.

Wang Shijun sat alone on the sofa, his gaze fixed on the dark running track outside the window, his eyes deep and unwavering.

He came here to pick someone up—his sister who was about to join the Special Investigations Bureau.

Behind him, Zhang Zhaoqing, chairman of Huiguang Pharmaceutical, was quietly waiting beside him.

"Boom!"

A passenger plane roared through the night sky, its landing lights flashing across the glass walls of the waiting area.

Wang Shijun's fingers trembled suddenly.

The intense light irresistibly reminded him of those photos—the horrifying giant pit on the original site of the Nanshan Ci'an Nursing Home.

In the photo, the smooth, mirror-like pit walls reflect this cold, emotionless light in the morning light.

A chill ran up my tailbone and straight to the top of my head.

If it were that night...

If he accepted Zhong Heng's invitation that night in order to witness the capture of "Supernatural" firsthand...

Now, he is probably like Wei Donghai and Zhong Heng, turned into the dust at the bottom of the pit, with unrecognizable DNA.

That power was no longer some strange biological mutation, nor some intriguing special ability.

That is a catastrophic force capable of ignoring the rules of order and completely erasing everything at the physical level.

It almost became a statistic in the report that needed to be "inferred to exist".

Thinking of Zhong Heng, his brows furrowed even more.

The death of Zhong Heng is not terrible; what is terrible is the people standing behind him.

Zhong Lin is an important figure from another faction within the Five Mountains Alliance, and Zhong Heng's older brother.

He was a notorious madman, incredibly powerful, extremely protective of his own, and vengeful.

Zhong Heng is now dead in Chenxi City, on the territory under Wang Shijun's control.

Although the direct cause was an unexpected "supernatural" outburst, Zhong Lin will definitely hold him accountable for it.

Intelligence indicates that Zhong Lin is already on his way.

This means that the situation in Dawn City will become even more complicated.

They not only had to deal with the "Special Investigation Bureau" established by the government, but also with internal scrutiny and infighting.

Wang Shijun took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind.

No matter how terrifying this force may be, it has already appeared.

For a behemoth like the Five Mountains Alliance, fear is followed by extreme greed.

The emergency meeting of the organization's top leadership has reached a resolution: to elevate the priority of the Dawn City incident and allocate more resources and manpower.

Since we cannot avoid it, we must take control of it.

Contact, research, prevention... utilization, and even manufacturing.

Wang Shijun turned his gaze away from the window, as if he had just remembered that there was someone beside him. He turned his head and his gaze fell coldly on Zhang Zhaoqing.

"Chairman Zhang."

Zhang Zhaoqing immediately straightened his back: "Young Master Wang, please give your orders."

"How's the acquisition of Wei's core biomedical assets going?"

Zhang Zhaoqing dared not delay and leaned forward to report: "Young Master Wang, it's basically done. The officials handling the remaining assets of the Wei Group... have been very cooperative. The original experimental data database related to Wei Group's biomedicine, as well as the paper records that were not destroyed, have all been transferred here."

He paused, then lowered his voice and said, "In addition, several core researchers in Lin Zhenghua's research team were already dissatisfied with the Wei family, and they have been contacted and recruited by our people. They are currently being resettled in the laboratory."

Wang Shijun tapped his fingers lightly twice on the sofa armrest: "Very good. Immediately organize a team to cross-compare all the data with the data of the neuropharmaceuticals that Huiguang Pharmaceuticals is developing."

"Yes." Zhang Zhaoqing nodded.

Wang Shijun continued, "Any abnormal data fluctuations, any records that cannot be explained by existing biological theories, no matter how subtle, should not be filtered out as errors. List them out separately and report them directly to me."

"Understood," Zhang Zhaoqing replied. "The team is already doing a preliminary review and will not miss any clues."

Wang Shijun leaned back on the sofa, his gaze becoming deep and unfathomable.

The psychotropic drugs such as "Tranquilizer Type IV" newly developed by Glorious Pharmaceuticals were previously only used as a front for creating that "intermittent mania".

However, after reviewing Lin Zhenghua's hypotheses about "emotions triggering extraordinary abilities," the value of these drugs needs to be reassessed.

They can not only inhibit nerves, but perhaps in certain doses and combinations, they can also become a "key," a key to stimulate the nervous system, or even to induce that terrifying power.

On one hand are the "phenomenon observation data" left by Wei, and on the other hand are the "neurointervention tools" of Huiguang Pharmaceuticals.

If handled properly, he might be able to get his hands on that secret that drives everyone crazy first.

His thoughts were interrupted by the arrival announcement of the flight. He looked up and saw another plane landing; his sister had arrived.

Ten minutes later, the automatic door to the VIP passage slid open silently.

A tall figure appeared at the entrance of the passage.

Wang Shiwei pushed a silver carry-on suitcase, wearing a dark business suit and sporting a neat short haircut.

Upon seeing Wang Shijun, a gentle smile appeared in her phoenix eyes, which bore a resemblance to her brother's.

"elder brother."

"You must be exhausted?" Wang Shijun quickly went to greet her and took the suitcase from her hands. "Did this flight encounter turbulence? I think it was delayed by half an hour."

"It's alright, we just had to circle and dodge in the air." Wang Shiwei gently rubbed her temples. "Airspace control here seems to be very strict lately."

Wang Shijun nodded without explaining further, but turned to the side and gestured to Zhang Zhaoqing, who was still waiting there.

"Shiwei, let me introduce you," Wang Shijun said casually. "This is Zhang Zhaoqing, Chairman of Huiguang Pharmaceuticals, and also a very important partner of ours in Chenxi City."

"Glow Pharmaceuticals?"

Wang Shiwei's gaze fell on Zhang Zhaoqing.

As a key member of the Wang family, she has an extremely keen sense of the family's business empire.

She clearly remembers that before she left, her father specifically reminded her that this pharmaceutical company had a deep foundation in the research and development of neurological drugs, and its cutting-edge achievements might have potential value in understanding and even intervening in certain "special states".

"Chairman Zhang, it's an honor to meet you." Wang Shiwei extended her hand with elegant and graceful movements. "I'll be relying on your help a lot in Chenxi City in the future."

"Miss Wang, you're exaggerating! You're exaggerating!"

Zhang Zhaoqing immediately gave the hand with only half a fingertip a firm grasp. "It is an honor for Huiguang Pharmaceutical to serve Young Master Wang and Miss Wang. As long as you give the order, everyone at Huiguang will do their utmost."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhang Zhaoqing tactfully glanced at his watch.

"Young Master Wang, your sister has just arrived and surely needs to rest, so I won't disturb your family reunion any longer."

"Okay, go ahead." Wang Shijun waved his hand, not trying to stop him.
