Six years ago, during an experiment, the 19-year-old Shenyi could no longer bear the torment of pain. Like a madman, he killed Dr. Caesar and all of his subordinates.
The ground was littered with corpses, and the blood nourished the soil of this canyon. Since then, the mandrakes here bloomed even more brilliantly.
The survivors of that bloodbath began to call Shenyi their master!
Most of these people were once test subjects themselves, just like Shenyi. They were captured by Caesar as children and subjected to experiments, immersed in transparent glass cylinders filled with corrosive poisons. Various needles and wires were inserted into their bodies.
The cruelty of that torture was more terrifying than hell itself. It was not just the destruction of the body but the gnawing of the soul.
They were manipulated like marionettes, and pain and fear were replaced by numbness.
They despised it deeply.
So, those who were released willingly became Shenyi's slaves, serving him faithfully until death.
There were also some scientists who had followed Dr. Caesar and defected to Shenyi. For six years, these professors conducted research at the test base, seeking an antidote to restore Shenyi and the test subjects to normal. Meanwhile, the test subjects became servants in the castle, serving Shenyi.
Every year on the fifteenth day of the lunar new year, on the night of the full moon, the castle would turn into a sinister and bloody hell.
Shenyi and all the test subjects underwent mutations. They emitted a wailing scream akin to tormented souls from hell, terrifying gods and spirits, making all creatures in the forest shudder in fear and flee.
The torment of that mutation was even more cruel than being dissected alive. Blood was the only painkiller for Shenyi and his servants.
During the transformation, they consumed large amounts of fresh, living blood to alleviate their pain. So, before every full moon, the servants would abduct a large number of prey from the forest, keeping them alive until the full moon for bloodsucking.
However, animal blood was far from enough to satisfy Shenyi. His body had reached the final stage of mutation, and each outbreak brought intense, excruciating pain. Every part of his body seemed to be disintegrating, a powerful force conflicting within, as if trying to tear him apart.
So, the servants would prepare living girls as his pets, keeping them in the castle for him to feed on their blood at any time.
In the past, Shenyi had a few pets as well. They all went insane because they couldn't bear this terrifying way of life and were eventually sent away from the forest.
Whether they could safely return home depended on their own abilities and luck.
Amu Mountain is the largest mountain range in Thailand, covering an area of thousands of square kilometers.
The canyon where this castle is located is hidden deep within a pristine forest, isolated from the world and well-concealed.
In the more than twenty years since the base was established, no one has ever found this place, and naturally, no one has been able to leave it.
