Chapter 157: Backing (1/2)
When the Nepalese youth woke up, he saw Lei Yin standing with the two men and talking to them.
“You, you finally came.” The youth was pleasantly surprised, and immediately crawled out of the bed.
“How are you, is there any part of your body that feels uncomfortable?” Lei Yin turned to look at him.
The youth shook his head, “When did you arrive?”
“I just came, are you hungry? Let’s eat first.” Lei Yin received a lunch box from one of the men.
The youth hadn’t eaten all day, and he was really hungry. So, after opening the lunch box, he gobbled it all up.
“You two go outside, I have something to talk about with him.” Lei Yin said to the two men.
After saluting him, the two men left the room.
After waiting for him to finish eating, Lei Yin said to the youth: “Ji Teba, there is something I want to ask you.”
What is it?” The youth put down the teacup in his hand.
“Do you still remember what happened at noon?”
“I don’t remember.” The youth didn’t dare look at his eyes.
“Ji Teba, there are some things that can’t be resolved as long as it is buried. In your present situation, even if you return to Nepal, what use would it be?”
“I, I really don’t know what you’re saying?”
“Don’t tell me you don’t remember losing your mind. Also, don’t tell me that, that thing of yours is inborn.” Lei Yin suddenly tore off his clothes.
The youth suddenly screamed, and immediately jumped away from Lei Yin. Heading straight towards the bed, he covered his body with the bed sheet.
Seeing the youth looking at him with a very terrified look, Lei Yin didn’t stop and instead walked towards him.
Seeing that Lei Yin was getting closer to him, the youth shrunk his head like a wounded beast and started roaring loudly.
When Lei Yin was at his side, he instantly moved his finger towards several of his meridian, immediately stopping the youth’s squeals. Then, Lei Yin grasped his head with both of his hands to make him face him.
“You listen to me, you’ll only tell me the things that happened to you without excluding anything, I have a way to help you. Otherwise, you’ll never be a normal person again.” Lei Yin said loudly to him.
The youth was awed by how loud his voice was, and could only stare at him.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lei Yin continued: “You’ll have to believe me, maybe I can help you restore your original appearance.”
Hearing the words “Restore your original appearance”, the youth’s eyes revealed some anger.
He tried to speak with his mouth opened, but couldn’t say anything.
Seeing that he had something to say to him, Lei Yin immediately touched his meridians.
“You…you can really change me back to how I looked before?” Tears were streaming down the youth’s face, as he looked at Lei Yin.
“Although I can’t guarantee it, but I’ll help you with everything I have.”
The youth began to calm down, and the startled look in his eyes disappeared.
“My body can turn into this, it was created by those bad people.” The youth finally, slowly, began to talk.
“Are you referring to those people wearing white clothes?”
Hearing those men with white clothes, a frightened expression appeared was on Ji Teba’s face, and he then nodded.
After 10 minutes of telling his painful story, the youth collapsed on his knees as he tried to stand up.
“So, if you didn’t take the medicine they give you in a certain period of time, you’ll go mad?” Lei Yin asked.
“I’m not sure, I only know that if we don’t eat those pills, my body would sometimes become very hot, just like when you have fever. And then, at the time when I woke up, I had already become a mess, and my fingers, as wells as my lips, were bleeding. I think it’s due to my own doings.” The youth said with his head down.
“Then the hair on your body, did it also emerged after you were injected?”
The youth sorrowfully nodded, “I’ve tried to pull it out, but it would always grow back.”
“How many people did you run away with?”
“That night almost all the people there ran away, but many of those were gunned down, and died while trying to escape. So, those who had escaped shouldn’t be many. However, Brother Ye Bin had certainly successfully escaped, because he is a very intelligent person. I was together with him, but we soon separated because of the chaos.”
“Is, Brother Ye Bin, the person you said who was also Nepalese?”
“Yes, in there, not many were Nepal, in addition to me there were only five people.”
“Who were they? I mean, which country were the people there from?”
“There were seven or eight Vietnamese, more than 10 Chinese, and more than 20 Malaysian. There was also a man with golden hair, I’m guessing he may be American, but Brother Ye Bin said that foreigners looked, almost, all the same. So, even, he couldn’t guess which country the man was from.” With the gradually deepening conversation, the youth talked more and more smoothly.
Although his guess was about the same, but Lei Yin still felt uncomfortable in his heart.
It seemed those people, who were crazily being experimented, are some of the illegal immigrants smuggled into Japan, so they didn’t need to worry about where the body came from, nor did they fear that others would investigate it. But even illegal immigrants that are captured can’t be sent to the lab right away, without the assistance of the government officials, the darkness involved may be going much deeper than he had expected.
However, this matter unexpectedly involved people, regarding this, Lei Yin didn’t know, if he should step in and investigate the matter himself.
The reason being, just like how Jiro had thousands of reasons to die, was because if he stepped in to investigate, even if he was careful, there would still be a chance that his identity would be found. He wasn’t afraid of the people that were going to get him, but that they’ll move in towards his family or friends. This was something Lei Yin didn’t want to see. So, now he needed to find a man who can replace him, and with the use of the power of the Black Dragon behind him, he could conduct an investigation. And at the time he gets the evidence, he could then expose it all through someone.
‘An agent?’ A face suddenly emerged in Lei Yin’s mind.

Seeing Tsukada’s expression, as if he had just attended a funeral, several other police officers laughed gleefully.
“Let me guess, that snow woman scolded you, didn’t she?” Sanada Daisuke grasped his own chin, and asked.
Tsukuda then furiously threw the report, in his hand, onto the table, and then grumbled: “I wonder what that woman ate, recently she has been scolding me almost every day. If this is because she’s on her period, then this is just too long.”
“I had already reminded you, that recently her complexion looks very bad, probably because of a family matter. At this time, you should be careful not to make any mistakes, but you’re always so careless, you should know that she’d even notice little things like, when you read magazine during work.”
“I didn’t imagine that it would be this bad.” Tsukuda said with regret.
“But there’s something I just don’t understand, why does she tell you to investigate a college student named Gennai Masashi. This kid looks like he’s just an ordinary student, more importantly he doesn’t have any criminal record, it’s really strange.” Sanada Daisuke looked at the photos in the report, as he spoke.
“Who know what that woman is thinking. Perhaps she sees something in this guy. Or perhaps, she’s using the guise of work, for her own interest, and help her look up other….” Tsukuda wasn’t able to finish what he was saying, when Sanada Daisuke suddenly patted him hard.
