Hao Yue and Zhou Zhijun

"Huh?"

Looking at how confident he was, Yun Che was a bit confused. Fei Ye flapped his wrist and what appeared on his palm was a bronze mirror the size of his palm that were adorned with dragons and pearls at the side and exquisite engravings at the back, "There are a lot of things in the world that even god couldn't explain. It cannot be used for attack but it can prevent people from sensing it. Shielded by it, even immortal kings won't be able to detect us."

"That's great. How big an area can it shield?"

It was indeed a divine tool. Yun Che reached out and took the mirror, tossing it about to examine it.

"It depends on how strong the master is. For me, it is easy to shield a whole base, but now it is only shielding this research room."

If he covered too wide a range, even if Xuan Tian wouldn't sense it, he would know something was off, so he rarely shielded as largest an area as he was able to.

"So that's why Xuan Tian didn't know that you are here."

Returning the mirror to him, Yun Che approved. For Fei Ye, this mirror was a big addition.

"Maybe, or maybe it's because I'm too good at face shifting? No one could see through me at one glance apart from you."

Putting away the mirror, Fei Ye gently smiled, "The original masters of Bi'an had been guarding the Legendary Secret Realm for generations, and only when someone approved by the ancient mirror showed up could they be liberated. For tens of thousands of years, I was the first one succeeded, so the master of Bi'an wanted me to be the master, but I turned him down because I had no intention to be anybody's master. Then I entered the Legendary Secret Realm. There was a remnant soul of a man who named Hao Yue. He passed all his memories and power to me at only one condition, that is to help him find a man, for whom he split his soul into three, one reincarnated while the other two left in the Secret Realms of different spaces to find and love the man. When I saw you the second time, I finally knew who that man is. But unfortunately, it seems that I am a bit too late and he completely loses to his best friend this time.

What Fei Ye didn't say was that from the inherited memories, he knew that he was part of the remnant soul of Hao Yue that had been reincarnated. Simply put, Hao Yue was him, and he was Hao Yue. Hao Yue was in love with Ming Che, and he had unknowingly fallen for Yun Che since long ago. Someone like him, who had no heart, had fallen for a man. Even he found it hilarious. But this was a fact. However, Yun Che was happy now and he would become his trouble. Yun Che wanted a friend or a brother, so he would just be his friend and brother and be with him forever to help him guard his happiness.

"So you know all about it."

Yun Che sighed helplessly. He really didn't expect that he had this kind of complicated entanglement with Xing Feng and Fei Ye in their previous lives. He would be lying if he said he didn't find it embarrassing at all. Before these stories surfaced, everyone was already clear that Fei Ye had a thing for him. And now knowing the entanglements of the three Great Gods, even though he insisted that he remembered nothing and that he would never become Ming Che, he felt touched and embarrassed, especially to Fei Ye, who he couldn't respond to

The supporting male role in general soap operas were always the bad guy, right? But why both Hao Yue and Fei Ye were different? If they were the bad guys, the situation wouldn't have been so award for him.

"So you guys know it as well. What about me giving you one more chance so that you can accept my love."

For a man as shrewd as Fei Ye, how could he not tell that Yun Che was in a serious dilemma? By joking with him, he not only made it less embarrassing for Yun Che but gave himself another chance. If it still didn't work out, he'd have to settle for brotherhood.

"Xing Feng was already out of my league, so how dare I hold you up?"

Yun Che was not stupid. He knew everything, but still rejected him with a joke. If he accepted his love just because he was moved or because Fei Ye was special to him, then the three of them would be left in misery in the future. Love was a thing only for two people, and the third wheel would lead to a crash.

"Alas. Then you've missed your last chance."

Sighing and shrugging his shoulders, Fei Ye pressed all the pain at the bottom of his heart, and the man he was in front of Yun Che was always perfect and flawless.

"You should leave this kind of chance to others, and don't flirt with anyone who's already taken."

His jokes made the situation less awkward. Yun Che leaned backward, "So what now? Since you've refused to be the master of Bi'an, why did you bring them here? And why are you here? That's clever of you to pretend to be a crazy scientist."

Both of them were smart, and they both knew that the joke was the final answer so there was no longer need to continue the topic.

"After I accepted the inheritance of the Secret Realm, it disappeared. It was two or three months later when I showed up again. I planned to go to the Capital Base immediately and then go to the Coast by the space corridor to wait for you guys. However, something happened to Bi'an. Someone destroyed a mid-large sized base that had withstood the test of terrible weather, the zombies and mutant creatures. The base commander who escaped with two superfunction possessors of space was so furious that he hired top three killers of Bi'an with everything in their possession, asking them to kill whoever that was behind the mutant human beings, because it was an army of mutant human beings that destroyed their base. However, Bia'an, who was renowned for their capability to complete every task, failed this time, and the top three killers were captured and taken to the research center of mutant human beings. Someone sent an anonymous email to Ding Peng, that is, the former master of Bi'an, thanking him for the provision of donors. They were all level-8 superfunction possessors who were almost level-9, so it was a great humiliation to them. Ding Peng immediately decided that he was going to revenge. At that time, I showed up. Thinking that this research center was your target, I voluntarily took the job and found mutant humans capturing people outside. I lured one of them away and killed him. Then I disguised as him and went here with other mutant human beings. I kept shifting my faces and finally I became this Dr. Wan.

Fei Ye stopped joking and told him the story in great detail. Yun Che listened attentively, "You can actually disguise as mutant human beings. You're just like the Monkey King."

Although he made it sound simple, Yun Che knew that it was definitely not that easy to actually do it.

"Mutant human beings are nothing. I can disguise as whoever I want. Even the Monkey King is no better than me."

Looking at him in great triumph, Fei Ye continued, "You know what happens after that. After I got into the research center of mutant human beings, I took a lot of pictures to send to Mo Wenyang and Gu Mingxuan. But I was unable to save those killers of Bi'an. After I got here, they were all turned into mutant human beings, and because of this, those crazy scientists realized the higher level the donors, the higher the success rate. Not long ago, Gao Wei came inspecting and the manager here told them about it, so he decided to take down Bi'an and capture all killers of Bi'an and turn them into mutant human beings. The Dr. Wan I turned into had a high status so I was there. After learning about this, I sneaked back to Bi'an and brought them all to the southwest.

Luckily, Dr. Wan was eccentric and gloomy, and sometimes he would lock himself in research center for weeks, so he was able to disappear for days without anyone noticing. He planned to find Yun Che in the Coast. But thinking that they would act soon and they would need his help, he sent an email and returned to the research center that night.

"Gao Wei is really ambitious. Doesn't he afraid that he'll get backfired?"

Yun Che frowned and snorted. He had fought with the killers of Bi'an and they were all strong. Gao Wei must be out of his mind to mess up with them."

"For someone who is already insane, he won't be afraid of backfire."

He had seen so many people like this, and they only differed by their ability. When he was a killer, he loved killing those people, and killing them with their own methods in a much crueler way.

"His good times are about to end soon."

He had told himself over a year ago to destroy what Gao Wei cared about most, and soon he would start fulfilling this promise with this research center of mutant human beings.

"By the way, I seem to have forgotten to mention that Gao Wei is also a mutant human being. He injected himself with the genes of mutant python and gecko, so his lost arm has grown back because of the regeneration function of the gecko. There is another person you are familiar with, Zhou Zhijun. He is now the commander of Gao Wei's army of mutant human beings."

"Zhou Zhijun?"

Yun Che blinked, too overwhelmed to respond. Fei Ye nodded, "Gao Wei saw his chance and abducted Zhou Zhijun. And then he quietly had him sent back to the Northeast Base. He was one of the first success mutant human beings. Dr. Wan was involved in the project to transform him."

The transformation of mutant human beings was not just the amputation and stitching of human or animal bodies, but the reorganization of the genes of mutant beasts and humans. They were cultivated in a fast way. To control them, the memory of every donor was erased and before they were soaked in special potion, they were implanted with a chip, which inserted new memories in their brains as computer programs. Meanwhile, it controls them so they were like advanced robots.

"Two years ago, I already knew that Gao Wei was definitely not someone stupid, but I never imagined that he was such an axe to grind."

When Zhou Zhijun disappeared, everyone, including him, thought that he chose to leave quietly because he was unable to bear such a blow. Yun Che had taken revenge so he didn't ponder on it. But to his surprise, Zhou Zhijun was taken away by Gao Wei. That was indeed a clever move by Gao Wei and he had deceived everyone.

"Honestly, I was shocked when I saw Zhou Zhijun. He was standing behind Gao Wei with no expression, and for a moment, I thought I was seeing illusions."

Fei Ye shook his head and smiled. Gao Wei had really fooled them all.

"I never thought he would have to eventually die at our hands."

After a brief surprise, Yun Che accepted the truth realistically. Zhou Zhijun was harmed by his own petty kindness and his family, so strictly speaking, he didn't deserve to die. This was also the main reason why he didn't ask anyone to find out his whereabouts. If Zhou Zhijun was like those others of the Zhou Family, he would not have let him off easily, and then Gao Wei wouldn't have fooled all of them. So he was actually the one to blame for being too lazy.
