Chapter 810 - 652: He Is Just a Stand-In
Jin paused in his actions, his face stern as he asked, "What do you mean?"
Yue Lin looked at him with even more mockery in his eyes, "It seems you truly know nothing."
"Enjoying Xiao Fu’s love, yet you don’t even know who she really loves. How pitiable and pathetic."
Jin’s temple veins throbbed, and he grabbed his collar, shouting, "Explain clearly to me!"
Yue Lin’s expression also turned cold; he pushed him away, straightened his collar, and looked over with aloof arrogance, his voice icy, "Don’t treat your lifesaver like an uncultured Mad Beast."
Jin ignored his mockery, clenching his hands tightly, stubbornly asking, "What exactly did you mean just now? Explain it to me clearly!"
"Fine, since you want to know, I’ll tell you." Yue Lin said meaningfully, "After all, I saved you to let you know the truth."
He continued, "Haven’t you ever thought, how did the dignified Young Master of the Hunting Leopard Clan end up becoming a Mad Beast? Falling to this level?"
Jin’s face was tight, angrily saying, "Stop beating around the bush, just say it!"
Yue Lin’s cold and deep eyes stared at him, a hint of thought flashing through, he asked back, "First, tell me, why did you risk going to the laboratory? What is it you wanted?"
This was also what he wanted to understand. Unfortunately, they couldn’t break in, and the secret behind that door deep in the laboratory was unknown, making Jin even risk his life.
Jin hesitated for a moment and said, "There’s a Crystal Core there. Once I get it, I can cure my madness."
Yue Lin was somewhat surprised but upon reflection found it logical, "So that’s it."
He seemed to have figured something out, as a trace of heaviness passed through his heart, and he continued, "If this is true, then the situation is serious... I don’t know where you heard this, but have you thought about why a foreign Crystal Core can cure your madness?"
"As I know, the Crystal Cores of different people can’t be compatible at all."
Otherwise, those powerful and influential Upper-level Beastmen would have plundered the Talent Abilities of the lower layers to become stronger, and the world would have been chaotic long ago.
So under normal circumstances, the power of different Crystal Cores can’t be fused.
Even in the very few successful cases, they only occur among close blood relatives, and after fusion, at most retain less than thirty percent of the effect, which is not efficient. Even using the Crystal Core of Shou Jin’s father for fusion wouldn’t cure his madness.
Jin’s brows furrowed deeply. Although he was sealed in the Death Abyss when he was young, he still knew these common understandings.
He had thought about this issue, but the last time he almost lost control, that mysterious figure used an incomplete piece of Crystal Core, which indeed brought him back to clarity.
Moreover, since then, he seemed to control the power within his body better, and the influence of the madness grew smaller.
Faced with the facts, he had to believe the words of that mysterious figure.
Jin’s thin lips pressed into a line as he coldly asked, "So, what exactly are you trying to say?"
Yue Lin looked at the young Black Panther in front of him, still not answering directly, but instead turned and walked to the window, looking out at the dark night.
The night was gloomy tonight, as if the starlight was swallowed by an invisible cloud layer, exuding a sense of oppression.
He lowered his voice a bit, speaking slowly, "The Hand of Creation Laboratory has been conducting genetic research for years. In my investigations, I’ve discovered a secret that could shock the world."
Jin’s brow furrowed tighter, but he didn’t speak, waiting for him to continue.
"The laboratory secretly stole the genes of many high-talented Beastmen to create... replications."
Yue Lin sneered self-deprecatingly, "Even I am one of them."
Jin’s pupils dilated in shock, disbelief flooding his face.
Yue Lin turned back, giving him a meaningful look but did not continue, "It’s getting late. I’m going to rest. You... should think about it yourself."
After speaking, he left.
Jin was left standing there, dazed, staring at the air before him, his breathing suddenly becoming rapid.
In a haze, he seemed to understand something.
His fingertips trembled as he suddenly recalled something and took out the gift box from Space.
After hesitating for a moment, Jin’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he opened the box.
Inside lay a transparent prism-shaped crystal, with a faint silvery-white shimmer flowing within, a trace of spiritual power, and vaguely floating human figures.
Jin grasped the crystal as a blinding white light flashed.
At the same time, a flood of unfamiliar memories rushed into his mind.
...
It was as if Jin were watching a movie, seeing many past events through this crystal.
