Journey Through Dimensional Worlds

Chapter 2: Making Your Death a Little Easier

Just as He Quan was admiring the scene, the only door to the prison-like room was opened.

A female researcher in a white lab coat walked into the room, adjusted her glasses, and said to Long Juan and He Quan with a look of disgust, "We're having blood drawn today. I hope you'll cooperate obediently and not resist unnecessarily."

Perhaps out of jealousy towards those born with superpowers, or for some other reason, this researcher harbored no goodwill towards these individuals, even feeling disgust towards them.

The female researcher was followed by several strong, fully armed men.

They are an armed squad from the institute's security department, primarily responsible for protecting the researchers' personal safety when facing superhumans.

Previously, this female researcher had always come alone. The reason she brought an armed team with her today was that, according to the data, the newly arrived test subject at the research institute was an adult male whose superpowers were not yet clear. In case of any accidents, the armed team could suppress them in time.

Facing the researchers before him, the young Tornado showed no expression.

Even though I've already hidden my superpowers, why won't they leave me alone?

If I hadn't acted differently back then, would my parents have sold me?

Tornado regretted it, but was mostly numb.

At first, she kept praying in her heart, hoping that someone would help her, but her prayers were of no use. Deep down, she was convinced that no one would come to her aid when she encountered danger.

Her parents sold her...

This is the cold and cruel reality, and she has now accepted it.

Just as Tornado slowly stood up and walked toward the researchers, a hand suddenly blocked her way, and a figure stood in front of her.

With his back to the researchers, He Quan stood in front of the tornado, a gentle smile on his face, and extended a hand, inviting, "I don't like it here, I'm planning to leave. Would you like to come with me?"

Tornado stared blankly at the unfamiliar young man before her, as if her countless prayers had finally been answered. She stared at the palm of her hand, momentarily at a loss for how to react.

But she quickly came to terms with reality.

"My parents have sold me. Nobody cares about me. Where can I go?"

As she spoke, Long Juan thought of this painful memory, and tears streamed down her cheeks.

"Besides your parents, there are always other people who care about you."

Knowing that Long Juan had a younger sister, He Quan deliberately brought it up. He squatted down, reached out and stroked Long Juan's cheek, gently wiping away the tears from the corner of her eyes with his thumb, and whispered, "Such a lovely face, so pretty."

Under such circumstances, being suddenly praised, Tornado's tear-streaked face, which looked somewhat dirty, was tinged with a faint blush.

But she couldn't laugh anymore.

He Quan commented on Long Juan's pretty little face: "She's so cute, I can tell she's my wife."

Tornado: "..."

Although she didn't quite understand, Tornado interpreted it as the other person deliberately joking and teasing her.

Perhaps thinking of her younger sister, or something else, Tornado looked at He Quan and finally nodded gently, placing her small hand on He Quan's palm.

Seeing that Long Juan responded, He Quan smiled knowingly and took her delicate little hand in his.

Family! I've found a wife! She wants to come home with me!

"It seems you still don't understand your situation."

Seeing that the mice dared to completely ignore them, the researchers felt annoyed and chuckled, "We'll never leave until we've thoroughly studied you freaks and rendered you worthless."

As she spoke, the team members behind her understood immediately, their eyes flashing with malice, rubbing their hands together, determined to teach the little lab rat in front of them a lesson.

Holding Tornado's hand in one hand and her slender little hand in the other, He Quan stood up and turned his gaze to the researchers.

"Since you didn't interrupt me just now, I'll let you die a little easier."

As he spoke, he reached out and covered Tornado's eyes.

The next second, a scarlet light burst from He Quan's eyes, and the researcher standing at the door was instantly disintegrated into hundreds of charred pieces of flesh, with blood mixed with the rotten flesh splattering onto the security guards behind him.

The stench of blood filled the air, but the team members remained motionless, clearly stunned by the sudden scene before them and unable to process what had happened.

With the most precise control over his own power, He Quan wore a smile, and a faint red light appeared at the corner of his eye, making him look somewhat eerie.

Although it was his first time killing someone, he was surprisingly calm, even completely unmoved.

There was neither moral guilt nor psychological discomfort.

Just like killing a regular NPC in a game.

NPCs, on the other hand, should be tormented by players!

Another beam of red light shot out, and the heads of the remaining squad members disappeared, with blood gushing out from the wounds on their necks like a fountain.

Despite the gruesome scene and the pervasive smell of blood and burning, the young tornado surprisingly showed no fear.

Tornado turned her head and looked at the handsome young man.

He Quan used his X-ray vision to take in the entire research institute.

Through layers of concrete walls and steel gates, overcoming all obstacles, one could see researchers conducting various human experiments, bizarre-looking synthetic beasts, and numerous fully armed security personnel.

He Quan stepped forward, and a terrifying force erupted instantly. The air exploded, creating a vacuum. The research institute building beneath his feet instantly turned to dust, and even the ground within a kilometer radius sank by more than ten meters, forming a dark, deep crater.

"I'm so awesome!"

It only took a few minutes from start to finish. He Quan looked relaxed as he landed smoothly with his hands behind his back, along with the tornado.

Tornado saw the research institute reduced to a vast ruin and the severely subsided earth, and a sense of satisfaction rose in his heart.

He Quan reached out and patted her head, saying, "We should exterminate evil without hesitation; a little sacrifice is inevitable."

Of course, he wouldn't tell Tornado directly that NPCs have no human rights and that killing them is no big deal.

The research institute was completely reduced to ruins, and the ground sank. Whether it was the researchers, the lab rats being studied, or any monsters inside, none of them had a chance of survival; they all perished.

"Um."

Tornado nodded, agreeing with He Quan. Looking at her hands, the pale green glow emanating from her body allowed her to fly on her own.

"I want to go home and see my sister..."

Now that the research institute has been destroyed, Tornado is eager to get her younger sister out, fearing that if her sister awakens superpowers, her parents might sell her too.

He Quan: "No rush, let's take care of our food, clothing, and lodging first before going back. Do you really want to go back to your sister looking like this?"

After a moment's thought, Tornado nodded in agreement.

She could not forgive being sold by her parents, even if the reason was fear or something else. She had to bring her younger sister out.

Therefore, before anything else, we must first solve the problems of food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.

Having spent several years in the research institute, the outside world was quite unfamiliar to Tornado, so she could only follow He Quan's arrangements for the time being.

The explosion at the research institute, coupled with the massive subsidence of the earth, naturally attracted the attention of a certain hero.

"What... happened here?"

A man dressed in white armor and wearing a cloak arrived late, slowly descending from the sky.

The opponent's appearance was so distinctive that He Quan immediately recognized him as the number one ranked S-class hero, the strongest hero, Blast.

【Ding! 】

[Contacting a story character triggers an explosion, resulting in three lottery draws.]

He Quan hugged the petite tornado tightly.

Since being sold by her parents, Tornado had been imprisoned in a cold, prison-like room until this moment when she was held in someone's arms, and the intense body heat made her feel a long-lost warmth.

The explosion's gaze swept back and forth between the ruins of the research institute, now a deep crater, and the pair before him.

The ground, stretching for thousands of meters, sank completely, leaving the research institute spotless. A young man stood at the edge of the pit, holding a little girl, his expression as calm as if he had just finished a walk.

"What happened here?" Blast asked.

He Quan glanced at him: "This research institute buys children and conducts inhumane experiments. I'm an innocent bystander who was captured by them. I just awakened superpowers and accidentally destroyed this place."

To save time, he immediately stopped the Superman experience after the explosion.

He hugged Tornado tightly. Tornado's fingers gripped his collar, curled up in his arms like a kitten that had finally found its nest.

Explosion stared at the marks left by the ligatures, then paused for a moment. "Who are you?"

"have no idea."

He Quan said, "I woke up here. They dressed me in this."

He tugged at his loose hospital gown: "I don't remember anything from before."

He transmigrated into another body, and now he's an unregistered resident, so he might as well say he has amnesia.

Explosion looked him in the eyes. The young man's gaze was calm, without flinching or feigned sincerity.

"And who is she?"

Blast looked at the girl in his arms.

"I was sold here by my parents. I've been locked up here for three years."

He Quan glanced down at Long Juan: "She has nowhere to go either."

Bombing glanced again at the deep crater beneath his feet. Spanning over a kilometer, it had sunk several meters, its edges so clean it looked as if something had bitten it off.

This is not something an ordinary superpowered person could do.

If left unchecked, a person with amnesia who has just awakened their abilities and has gone out of control to wipe out an entire research institute could become an even bigger problem.

"What are you planning to do next?" he asked.

He Quan said, "Let's find a place to stay first. Let her take a shower and change her clothes. Then we'll talk about it."

"I have a few safe houses in Z City," Blast said. "I can arrange for you to stay there first. We can talk about your identities later."

He Quan nodded: "Okay."

Blast turned around: "Come with me."
