"In the bustling international metropolis, which has always been noisy and lively, these days seem to have whipped up a whirlwind, becoming even more bustling!
Police cars whizz by.
Interview vans dash along.
Many people, watching the unique procession, wear expressions of astonishment.
The TV station's live truck rushes to the scene, and a gracefully beautiful female reporter, with a solemn expression, picks up the microphone and says to the camera with a grave face, 'According to our station's exclusive information, the young man who was kidnapped and found dead recently is Yu Yuan, the son of the deceased wealthy businessman Yu Tao, who passed away under mysterious circumstances the day before. Is there any connection between the deaths of these two father and son? The police are currently investigating and analyzing!'
The road outside the unfinished building, usually sparsely populated with vehicles, is now filled with parked cars. A middle-aged man wearing a safety helmet looks as if he's been frightened out of his wits, surrounded by police and reporters. He can only stutter, 'I... I wanted to... use the restroom inside this morning, and then I saw someone tied up inside, bleeding profusely, so I called the police. It really has nothing to do with me, officers!'
Yesterday's kidnapped and missing heir of the Yu family was found dead in an unfinished building. This excellent news material has caused a group of journalists to swarm to the construction area, as if smelling blood like sharks, from its usually tranquil state.
'According to our newspaper's reporters, this group of buildings was once touted five years ago as another economic powerhouse for the city, but due to various reasons, it has become what it is now! So what's the mystery behind this kidnapping incident? What kind of people has Yu Yuan, this second-generation rich kid, provoked to be treated like this? Stay tuned for our continuous coverage!'
At the scene of the crime, several detectives from the Criminal Investigation Brigade are conducting a rough examination of the young man's corpse.
'Preliminary assessment indicates death from internal bleeding, with at least three hours of sustained beating before death. The technique is quite sophisticated, probably not the work of an amateur,' says the young detective after taking photographs for evidence, flipping through the body.
'Why are there so many swellings on the neck? Are there so many mosquitoes here?' he quirks, furrowing his brow.
'Take a picture. There might be something peculiar about it,' another middle-aged detective reminds him.
Of course, even these detectives couldn't possibly know that the swellings they saw were the work of the real perpetrator of the murder, and that this perpetrator's identity would turn out to be a deceased human reincarnator!
The story is too fantastical; who in modern times would believe it?
'My son! Let me see my son!' screams a woman from outside, but she's firmly blocked by the police maintaining order.
The Yu family has arrived!
'What's going on?' Among the Yu family members, a dusty-looking young man, who appears to have just arrived in Shanghai, has a fierce gleam in his eyes!
This man bears a striking resemblance to Yu Yuan, but looks a year or two older. However, unlike the impression Yu Yuan gave as a pampered heir, he exudes a tough and resolute demeanor, almost like a qualified warrior!
'Auntie, don't worry, I'll avenge our uncle and cousin. I'll quit my job as a mercenary in the French Foreign Legion in the next few days and investigate the deaths of our uncle and Yu Yuan,' the young man hastily grabs the woman's arm, his eyes filled with a vengeful glare.
The French Foreign Legion, the world's most famous mercenary organization, bar none!
From World War I to World War II, and from World War II to the Algerian War, this army has proven its strength on countless battlefields, and every soldier who emerges from this army is a strong one!
...
The upheaval in Shanghai has not affected the journey of a single mosquito.
When Shanghai began to experience violent fluctuations, this mosquito had already embarked on its own journey!
Buzz...
Once again boarding a train bound for the northeast, Jia Yan stealthily hides near a garbage bin in a certain carriage.
With the experience from last time, boarding a train again is already very familiar to Jia Yan.
'It's really leaving.' Watching the city slowly recede from sight, Jia Yan feels infinitely emotional.
For him, who has been reborn, this was the place where his greatest wish was fulfilled, and also where he bid farewell to his past self.
Having killed his enemy Yu Yuan, bid farewell to the university campus, and ended the naive infatuation, this city will no longer be a special place for Jia Yan, at least not as important as it was when he was reborn. Now, the only thing worth commemorating and reminiscing about in his mind is his hometown!
Unfortunately, he hasn't reached the point of returning to his old home. Although he has already seen his family in Shanghai, there's no rush to
return home.
The first thing he needs to do is to increase his lifespan once again and become even stronger!
'This time, I brought the remaining CHr-379 virus with me. With such a large bottle and my size, the likelihood of being discovered will be much greater, so I have to be extremely careful on the train!'
Thinking nervously, bringing the bottle of remaining virus solution onto the train makes Jia Yan's heart pound.
With the virus solution in hand, his flying speed has slowed down significantly. If it weren't for last night, when he sneaked into the carriage during the normal maintenance period, he wouldn't have been able to board the train with the virus solution without being noticed.
'Getting off the train will be troublesome too. I'll have to wait until the train reaches its destination again, and the passengers disembark to start checking the train, then I'll find an opportunity to get off...'
Jia Yan looks around the train, which is bustling with people, and can't help but shrink his head deeper into the crevice of the garbage bin.
The bottle containing the CHr-379 virus solution is right there beside him.
Jia Yan's cold compound eyes observe the passengers and train attendants moving around.
'I mutated last time because of the so-called "antibacterial peptide" solution from the Northeast Wild Tiger. Regardless of whether this solution is actually an antibacterial peptide or not, it definitely has an effect on me.'
'So... my plan to become stronger this time is simple! Find the "factory" of the Northeast Wild Tiger, and then try their solution again to see if it still has an effect on me!'
Indeed, Jia Yan's plan to extend his lifespan and become stronger revolves around the "antibacterial peptide" solution from the Northeast Wild Tiger.
Otherwise, for a normal mosquito to reach his level is already the limit, and further advancement is simply impossible!
To extend his lifespan, to become stronger, to have more time!
To return to his hometown and see his relatives and familiar things again!
With so much to do, he needs to have both lifespan and physique!
And in order to prolong his lifespan and enhance his physique, Jia Yan has only one choice!
That is to find the factory of the Northeast Wild Tiger's solution and see if the solution can cause a second mutation in him!
'But there are still many problems with this. I must first find the location of the Northeast Wild Tiger's factory, but since he treats that solution as an important item to attract drug addicts, his factory won't be easy to find. At least ordinary people won't know.'
'What should I do?'
The train roars on.
This train is no longer the express train Jia Yan previously rode. It's slower, and the ticket price is lower. Therefore, there are more stops along the way, and more passengers boarding and disembarking.
Jia Yan hides in the crevice of the garbage bin, quietly observing the outside world.
At times like this, he deeply feels the fact that he has been reborn as an insect.
No matter how noisy humans are, he's just one person hiding in the crevice, and the bustling activity outside seems to have nothing to do with him.
Outside is extremely noisy, while he is in another state of ultimate tranquility.
A bit lonely, a bit bitter.
Only the person involved can understand the taste.
After more than two days and thirty-six hours of travel, the journey is very long. In the train, there are only a few passengers accompanying him from the starting station in Shanghai to the northern city of the Huaxia Kingdom...
The spring city of the north, the provincial capital of Ji Province, 'Yongchun City.'
To be continued.
