He opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was a fat face full of fat.
The face was staring straight at me, its small eyes darting around. As soon as it saw that I was awake, its fat face trembled, and it turned and ran away, shouting all the way.
"Wow!! Grandma! Grandma! The pretty boy is awake!! Grandma... the pretty boy?"
Chen Xiao was initially confused, but then his memories gradually returned—wait, isn't this guy the fat robber??
Soon, the three unscrupulous bosses from the abandoned street gathered in the room. The three of them pointed and whispered about Chen Xiao, who was immersed in liquid in a container. Zhu Rong, in particular, gave Chen Xiao a blatant look that made him want to run away.
The feeling of being naked and watched by others is truly unpleasant.
"It seems to be almost healed." Old Tian stroked his chin, smiled, walked to the side, and gently pulled the handle of a gate. Then, with a whooshing sound, a leak quickly appeared at the bottom of the container, and the liquid inside flowed out rapidly.
Chen Xiao was carried out by Lao Tian and Gong Gong, wrapped in a blanket, and put on a bed.
Chen Xiao finally confirmed it—this was the secret room beneath the unfinished street coffee shop!
He had no idea where this enormous fish tank-like container came from.
The three old monsters stared at Chen Xiao, making his scalp tingle. After a long while, he managed a weak smile: "It seems I'm not dead yet."
“He’s not dead.” Zhu Rong stroked his chin, staring at Chen Xiao with surprise and curiosity, his eyes gleaming with undisguised interest.
Old Tian crossed his arms, a strange smile on his face: "Kid, although I had high hopes for you, I never expected you to be this awesome. A master with a single A-level superpower was actually taken down by a newbie like you..."
Gonggong, fidgeting with his fingers, chuckled shyly, "Xiao Xiao, you're so incredibly powerful!"
"Hahahaha!! The Black Knights suffered a crushing defeat this time! Not only did they lose Qiu Yun, a pillar of the team, but also that Tyrannosaurus Rex. I heard it was crippled too! Chen Xiao..."
"Tyrannosaurus Rex? Destroyed?" Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment.
Immediately, various guesses began to overlap in his mind...
Blood! And purification!!!
Clearly, the purifying agent has dissolved into his blood, giving his blood a "fusion" and "purification" function!
The fusion function allows one to acquire the abilities of other superhumans. For example... when Alice kissed him, the toxins in her saliva also transferred Alice's DNA to him, giving him two of the toxin woman's superhuman abilities: toxins and mimicry.
At the same time, one's own blood has another function: purification!
Simply put, it's about absorbing the abilities of other superhumans!
The first one to suffer was Hei Qi, but the process was as follows: the purification potion devoured her abilities, and at the same time, the purification potion merged into Chen Xiao's body.
The second unlucky one was Qiu Yun. Chen Xiao had only intended to use poison to trick Qiu Yun—after Alice kissed him, he discovered he had acquired Alice's venom, realizing he could gain other people's abilities this way. Having obtained the venom, he planned to use it against Qiu Yun, first pricking himself with a wooden splinter, then pricking Qiu Yun…
Unexpectedly, Qiu Yun, who was not afraid of poison, was still defeated by Chen Xiao.
Ultimately, it all comes down to Chen Xiao's blood, which contains "purification"!
Therefore, for all superhumans, Chen Xiao's blood is the most poisonous substance!
Thinking back to how I poisoned a Tyrannosaurus Rex by grilling its blood... Could the "purifying" substances in my blood have also been released into the air through grilling and infected the Tyrannosaurus Rex?
Not only was the Tyrannosaurus Rex poisoned, but the purification process in its blood also completely devoured its supernatural abilities!
He was suddenly startled!
What about cabbage? Cabbage has special abilities too...
But then he felt relieved. Luckily, Bai Cai and Xu Ershao had both plugged their noses, so they probably didn't inhale any toxic air.
Seeing Chen Xiao's absent-minded expression, Lao Tian sat down next to him and casually took a towel to dry Chen Xiao's wet hair.
"Kid, you're lucky this time. When we dug you out of the rubble, your body was like a rag doll trampled by an elephant. We practically emptied our coffin savings to try and save you! Look, just this one big vat of repair fluid has used up all our current stock."
Old Tian chuckled.
"How...how did you find me?" Chen Xiao sighed.
"Thank Zhu Rong," Old Tian glanced at Zhu Rong. "She and Alice are old rivals, having fought for decades. She knows a thing or two about Alice's style of doing things and her hiding habits. After learning that the Xu family mansion had been attacked, we quickly searched many places in the city where they might be hiding. We finally found that abandoned factory, but unfortunately we were a step too late... Otherwise, we wouldn't have had to watch you almost perish together with Qiu Yun."
Chen Xiao sighed: "Where are my friends? Second Young Master Xu and Bai Cai..."
“Those two are safe now, under police protection.” Old Tian smiled. “However, there is a problem… After you were kidnapped, the police visited your home, and the blue-blooded M in your house was taken away by the police.”
Chen Xiao jumped up immediately!
A child?!
"Oh no! Ya Ya doesn't have any identification!" Chen Xiao's expression changed instantly: "If the police find that Ya Ya doesn't have legal identification, then..."
“That’s not a problem.” Old Tian waved his hand. “How could we not care? Don’t worry, we’ll take care of Ya Ya’s situation. The police won’t cause any trouble… But, Chen Xiao, I have something to tell you now. Be prepared.”
As he spoke, Old Tian's expression turned serious: "Now, you're in big trouble... Simply put, after bringing you back, our tests showed that your body has serious problems. You could say that although you've been saved, it's very uncertain whether you'll survive!"
Chapter Sixty-Nine: [Am I Not Human?]
"Test, strength, level one activation, begin!"
Old Tian was holding something that looked like a controller in his hand, standing two meters away from Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao took a deep breath. His upper body was bare, and the scars from his previous injuries were no longer visible on his muscular physique; the cell repair fluid was indeed miraculous. He nodded to Lao Tian, and then watched as Lao Tian pressed a button on the controller…
Bang!
Suddenly, a skylight on the ceiling above their heads opened automatically, and a wooden table from the coffee shop fell down. Chen Xiao raised his arms and caught it.
