The Symbol of Art The Pinnacle of Human Anatomy

At eight in the morning, Yun City, cloudy, couldn't see the sun.

Since the nuclear winter of the last century, sunlight had become a very luxurious thing.

In the hazy morning, on the main road of Yun City, three armored cross-country vehicles were moving forward at a steady speed.

The speed of the convoy was not fast, it seemed that the people in the cars were not in a hurry to go anywhere, more like they were patrolling this city.

The bodies of all three cross-country vehicles were printed with a huge black mutated lobster, the symbol of Xia's Business Group, the dominant consortium in Yun City.

It was said that Xia's Group was not that big.

It was just because Yun City was so small, there were no other powerful companies, which allowed a small trading company without any core technologies to take the lead.

At this time, commercial trade was not popular, because plundering was more efficient than trade.

Therefore, the trading group was also the lowest existence among all consortiums.

Military/fire groups, mercenary groups, assassin groups, intelligence groups were the pyramid top of all consortiums.

Next were consortiums with core technologies in biology, medicine, science and technology.

At this time, the current chairman of Xia's Business Group, Wang Dong, was patrolling with his men.

Wang Dong himself was sitting in the first car, and there were two ability users with him.

The guards of Xia's Group were sitting in the other two cars.

The convoy passed through the southern suburbs, downtown, western suburbs, and northern suburbs of Yun City in succession. After inspecting the northern suburbs, the leading car began to return to the headquarters of Xia's Group.

In the third car, a new guard looked at the direction the convoy was heading, and asked the senior brother next to him in confusion: "Brother Liu, we're not going to the eastern suburbs?"

The drowsy Liu Ge next to him opened his eyes a little, took a look at the newcomer, and said, "No, not today, nor ever in the future."

The newcomer was startled and asked, "Why?"

"Because there is no need to patrol the eastern suburbs, no one makes trouble there."

The newcomer was clearly distrustful, and stubbornly said, "Brother Liu, that can't be right? I just came to Yun City and even I have heard the saying circulating here—"

"Don't go to the medical school during the day, don't go into the eastern suburbs at night, say hello when you see a doctor, and that will keep you healthy until old age."

"Doesn't this mean the eastern suburbs where the medical school is located is the most chaotic place?"

Suddenly, the off-road vehicle with five people fell silent.

The others looked at each other, and finally Oldest Brother Liu spoke.

"Little Chen, what I meant by 'no one making trouble' was not that there really was no one making trouble, but that the troublemakers there were already gone, understand?"

"As for how they are gone, don't ask me, just remember what you just said, and that will allow you to live a few more years in Yun City."

After Liu Ge finished speaking, just as the newcomer was about to ask something else, Da Lei's voice came from the walkie-talkie: "Everyone pay attention, get ready to go to the eastern suburbs!"

"The one from the medical school wants to see the boss, be spirited!"

"All of you polish your skills!"

"Once in the eastern suburbs, drive at low speed!"

"If anyone dares to honk the horn I'll make their ears ring for the rest of their life when I get back!"

"Especially when you see people from the medical school, I don't care who you see, fucking treat them with as much respect as you would treat your parents!"

"No, you heartless bastards probably don't even know how to treat your parents..."

"Anyway, that's what I mean, brothers be sensible, you still remember the example of the former boss right?"

"If any of you gets stripped naked and hung on a tree branch, don't come looking for me to bring bad luck during the mourning period!"

"Alright, over!"

When the voice on the walkie-talkie ended, the newcomer Xiao Chen noticed the sound of heavy breathing going back and forth in the car.

Next to him, Liu Ge who had been dozing off suddenly shuddered.

At the same time, everyone in the car fell silent and no one spoke again.

Recalling carefully what Da Lei had said on the walkie-talkie, Xiao Chen suddenly felt that the sentence "The one from the medical school wants to see the boss" sounded strange.

Hmm, it felt as if the superior was summoning a subordinate.

But wasn't Xia's Group the biggest in Yun City?

And what was that about the former boss?

"Stripped naked and hung on a tree branch", what kind of operation was that?

For a moment, the newcomer Xiao Chen suddenly realized that the waters in Yun City ran deep.

The leading car had turned around, and the three armored off-road vehicles began to move towards the eastern suburbs.

Watching the buildings by the roadside retreating slower and slower through the car window, Xiao Chen knew that the convoy was moving slower and slower.

The atmosphere in the carriage was oppressively silent. Suddenly, a hand patted Xiao Chen's shoulder.

Xiao Chen looked back, it was Liu Ge.

Liu Ge showed Xiao Chen his phone, on which was a text message sent by the team leader ability user Da Lei.

"Old Liu, give the new brother some pointers, don't get him in trouble."

Xiao Chen immediately nodded and said, "Brother Liu, I'm listening."

Liu Ge put away his phone, gestured for Xiao Chen to open the window, seeing that there was still some distance before entering the eastern suburbs, he lit himself a cigarette.

"Phew—"

A cloud of smoke flew out of Liu Ge's mouth and dissipated on the street outside the window.

"Little Chen, do you know why our organization is called Xia's Group but the boss is surnamed Wang?"

"I don't know..."

"Probably about three or four years ago, the boss of our Xia's Group was still surnamed Xia. Once, Boss Xia took a fancy to a girl who had fled here from another city."

"That girl had a miserable life. Her hometown was originally a megacity on par with the Western Capital, but a spiritual storm occurred and the whole city became a source of spiritual pollution."

"The whole city had several hundred thousand people, almost all of whom became infected, she was one of the few who escaped."

"The girl was extremely beautiful, a country toppler, and she also brought a female ability user as her bodyguard, which was probably also why the girl was able to safely arrive in Yun City."

"But when she arrived in Yun City, Boss Xia coveted the girl. He had his own ability users bring people to ambush the girl and her bodyguard. In the chaos of the fight, the girl's bodyguard died, and she herself suffered severe brain damage and became a vegetable."

"But whether she was a vegetable or not, Boss Xia didn't care, this even saved Boss Xia some trouble."

"Just when Boss Xia thought he was about to take the beauty home, the girl hugged her female bodyguard's corpse with a blank expression, looked back at Boss Xia, and then instantly disappeared from the spot, as if she could become invisible."

"Half a year later, one morning in the central square of Yun City, four blood-red graceful big characters suddenly appeared: I'm back."

"It was also from that day that a very strange phenomenon appeared in Yun City. One person would die every hour."

"All the deceased had one thing in common, a long and thin steel tube inserted into the top of their heads, their brain tissue completely gone, and on the tail of that steel tube, a fresh red lipstick mark remained."

Speaking to this point, Liu Ge seemed a little uncomfortable, he took a breath before continuing: "That's right, all the deceased had their brain tissue sucked out like drinking milk tea."

"There were rumors that the girl, having become a vegetable, did not remember who harmed her, only that it was someone from Yun City, so she came back to specifically kill Yun City people."

"With the small scale of Yun City and few capable warriors, the culprit simply could not be dealt with."

"Later Boss Xia spent heavily to invite a level 2 ability user with ability coefficient over 2.0 from the Western Capital. As a result, the person was caught, but..."

"That level 2 ability user ended up the same as the Yun City people who had been killed, with an iron steel tube inserted in the top of his head and not a bit of brain tissue left."

"At this point, Boss Xia had no choice but to move his whole family to live in Western City, which made things miserable for the people of Yun City."

"This went on for more than half a year until one day, a victim was killed outside the main gate of the Medical School in the eastern suburbs."

"According to the memories of many eyewitnesses, a doctor in a white coat came out of the Medical School in the eastern suburbs that night, went out at 9 pm, and returned at 4 am the next morning."

"Some swore they saw a very young doctor that night, wearing a white coat, walking alone with a dead body on the deserted road."

The next morning, the people of Yun City saw a corpse hanging from the black pine tree in the central square. It was Boss Xia's corpse.

"That was the cleanest—" Oldest Brother Liu swallowed and took a good ten seconds before continuing. "That was the cleanest corpse I'd ever seen. Really, it was extremely clean."

"Or you could say, it could no longer be called a corpse. It was more like a work of art, a work symbolizing the pinnacle of human dissection skills."

"I'd never imagined anyone could perform a dissection to such a flawless level."

"Below this corpse, in the same place where the four crimson characters reading 'I'm back' had appeared, another line of blood-red characters had emerged."

"Either leave, or stay, or stay forever.
