A moment later, the cabbage's head popped out of the wall and exclaimed in surprise, "I can get out! I can get out of here!"
"Cabbage, quickly look outside! Is there any control button outside that can open this hellhole?" Young Master Xu was the first to calm down.
Bai Cai snorted and shrank back inside, probably to go outside to look for something. A moment later, she poked her head back in: "There are a few buttons, but I can't understand the text on them. I can only try them one by one. Hmm, I'll press the first one first. Hmm, okay, I pressed it!"
As soon as she finished speaking, several thick water pipes suddenly appeared from the four corners of the room, and more than a dozen streams of green water gushed into the room! The water flow was so strong that the people screamed!
The cabbage panicked and quickly crawled back outside the wall.
The water was flowing in extremely fast, and since the room was sealed with no outlet, the water had already reached everyone's calves in just a few minutes! Young Master Xu frantically pounded on the wall, yelling, "Cabbage! Turn off the water! Otherwise, we'll all drown!"
Ya Ya squatted down and touched the emerald green liquid, but suddenly her eyes widened: "Wow! This is cell repair fluid!"
Bai Cai did something outside, and after a while, the water finally stopped when it reached everyone's waists. Bai Cai crawled in, looked at everyone, and stuck out her tongue: "Sorry, there are too many buttons outside, I don't know which one is the switch. Please wait a little longer, I'll go find the button to open the door."
No one knows what Bai Cai pressed wrong this time, but suddenly the four walls flipped over, and four rows of huge air vents extended out! Four streams of warm air blew in. The people had been soaking in the water for a while and were already soaked. The wind made them shiver with cold.
Ya Ya closed her eyes and sensed it: "Huh! This wind...this is biostatic ion wind!"
"What wind?" Zhang Xiaotao asked, frowning.
"Hmm... it's a kind of airflow that lets you take a bath, without water... um, it's like dry cleaning. This static ion airflow can peel away the dirt from your body... I used to take baths like this every day when I lived in the bio-tank." Ya Ya's eyes lit up as she said this: "Ah! Right, this isn't a prison! It's a huge bio-tank!!"
...

"Interested in seeing something interesting?" JOKER looked at Chen Xiao: "Here, you'll see some things you never imagined!"
As he spoke, he turned around, and a fan-shaped door immediately opened in the distance of the arched room. JOKER walked over quietly, stood in the doorway, and looked at the group in the distance: "Whether you want to follow or not is up to you."
Chen Xiao hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "We've already come this far, do we still have a choice? Come on, Father, show me your 'temple'!"
Behind that fan-shaped door was a narrow corridor, with all sorts of things displayed on both sides like shop windows. These were things that even Lao Tian had never seen before, let alone Chen Xiao.
JOKER casually picked up something that looked like a metal button from the wall: "This thing is small, but it's my favorite little toy. I named it 'SAME'."
Chen Xiao followed behind him, coldly watching JOKER.
"As you probably know, the purpose of the Third Organization is to hope that humans and superhumans can merge into one! However, turning humans into superhumans or turning superhumans back into humans is not an easy task. Fortunately, these problems were finally solved after I mastered the rules of the origin of matter! This thing can give an ordinary person a superpower in an instant!"
He gently tossed the button to Chen Xiao and smiled, "I've categorized them by color according to different types of superpowers. This thing in your hand is actually a miniature syringe. It contains genetic material extracted from the body of a superpowered individual. After my synthesis and research, it's been formulated into a drug. This drug can instantly alter the genes of the injected person, causing a brief fission. This allows the injected person to acquire the superpower genes contained in the drug in the shortest possible time. Of course, this fission has a limited duration. Based on my research, its stable period is approximately ninety-six minutes, which is the best effect achievable so far. This thing in your hand is a mental superpower drug. The drug inside can instantly grant a person powerful mental strength, which may cause dizziness or hallucinations."
Everyone's expression changed!
Allowing ordinary people to gain superpowers?!
“Theoretically speaking, even an ordinary person could become a superhuman as long as they carry enough of the drug.” JOKER smiled smugly, but then he sighed, “Unfortunately, it’s still not a perfect product. At least according to the current experimental results, the maximum fission time an ordinary human can withstand is no more than three hundred minutes. Once the dosage exceeds three hundred minutes, the excessive fission of the human gene will cause some unpredictable mutations!”
"Oh?" Prince seemed quite interested. "What mutation?"
“Unpredictable mutations, without any pattern, random.” JOKER shook his head: “For example, the last test subject, after the dosage exceeded the maximum tolerance value, that guy’s body turned into a puddle of liquid and could never be restored to its original state.”
"Haha! It seems that although you call yourself a god, you are not omnipotent!" Prince looked at JOKER with a mocking expression.
JOKER stared at Prince, and in that instant, a glint of light flashed in his eyes. Prince immediately felt a chill run through his body, as if the other man's gaze were tangible, piercing right through him!
Finally, JOKER sighed, the sharpness in his eyes fading, and nodded: "That's right, even a god isn't omnipotent."
Chapter 297 [Father and Son]
JOKER took a few more steps forward and picked up another item from the display case on the wall. It was a mask, just like the one on his face, gleaming with a metallic sheen, but with a faint, liquid-like light flowing across it.
JOKER turned to look at everyone: "See this? Once you put this on, you can transform into a different person, just like a superhuman. Of course, this thing has no side effects. But you can only use it once at a time, changing your appearance once... How does it feel? From now on, plastic surgeons all over the world can retire! People around the world will no longer have to worry about their ugly appearance. Just wear this mask, and you can transform your appearance into that of any movie star!"
"Hmph." Chen Xiao coldly interrupted JOKER: "But if that happens, there will be no distinction between beauty and ugliness in this world. Everyone will be beautiful, and everyone's face will be 'changed' according to the golden ratio. In the future, billions of people in the world will all have the same face. Do you think this world is interesting?!"
JOKER looked at Chen Xiao, his eyes seemingly smiling: "You know what? What you're saying now is almost exactly the same as what I said when I was young, so naive and full of idealism."
"But what is the purpose of all this? You've done so much!"
Chen Xiao suddenly took a step forward, clenched his fists, and roared loudly.
"…………"
JOKER gazed silently at Chen Xiao. Behind the golden mask, his eyes held an indescribable emotion—complex and profound.
Then, JOKER suddenly raised his hand, bowed slightly to everyone, and said in a voice with a touch of elegance: "Alright everyone, please give my son and me some time alone."
Old Tian sneered: "Whatever you say goes. Do we have the right to refuse?"
Chen Xiao's face turned ashen as he stared intently at JOKER.
Phoenix stood to the side; in fact, she had barely spoken since the beginning. At this moment, Phoenix looked at Chen Xiao, then at JOKERR, and finally nodded silently, whispering, "You...you be careful."
Chen Xiao felt a sudden pang in his heart. He was a little afraid to meet Phoenix's gaze, so he gently turned his face away and tried to use an indifferent tone: "I... understand."
JOKER calmly observed all of this, then pointed to the end of the corridor: "Let's go."
Phoenix suddenly bit her lip hard, went up and tightly grasped Chen Xiao's hands, then let go. Chen Xiao's body stiffened slightly, and he still didn't dare to look at Phoenix, silently following JOKER towards the end of the corridor.
As Phoenix watched Chen Xiao's retreating figure, a tear suddenly rolled down her cheek.
Looking at Phoenix's face, Old Tian suddenly sighed, went up and gently patted Phoenix's shoulder: "Alright, I know the pain in your heart, Phoenix, you..."
Phoenix turned to look at Old Tian, her eyes trembling slightly: "If...if he really is his son, then...I..."
“I think you should know who JOKER is… and what his relationship with Mingyue is.” Old Tian’s voice was filled with bitterness: “So…”
