0102 - Blood Test - Silent.

Lu Ming's hand trembled slightly as he let the crimson drop of blood fall onto the surface of the tall, transparent box. The blood mingled with the box's surface as if it was made of liquid, slowly making its way toward the dark red orb at the center. As soon as the blood touched the orb, it was absorbed, causing the dark red orb to pulse with an eerie, faint glow.

The blood orb swelled, its surface glowing like veins. Lines shone, displaying something he couldn't interpret. He scratched his head again. First, there was the cryptic message from some Loyal Crane, then his father's struggling to hold back tears, and the presence of his family members. Is this bad news?
