Hi, sorry for the delay. It really took me a long time to update it and I just finish my mid-term exam! Phew!
Anyway, once again… (damn, I really could not get my head out of FFVII!), I use some of FFVII event which I think some of you might get it already, would appeared in this chapter. So… enjoy! (if you're wondering why I done it again, I could only say one thing for sure… Cuz I'm crazy with it! Ha Ha Ha!)
By the way, since it's still Chinese New Year, I'm here to greet all of you a Happy Chinese New Year who are celebrating it! Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Other world, other me
Few hours later, they manage to arrive at the top of the town. Right before them was a big tower, which written Cao's Company on it. They find a place to hide and started to plan their next steps!
Ma Chao: So… that's the tower we after? That's so high! (both him and the others look at it with amazement, they never saw a tall building just like that and they're wondering how height this building was and how does it build, and so on…)
Huang Gai: Ok, now that we're here, what's next? (he look at Jiang Wei, hoping he could gives a good answer)
Jiang Wei: (he thought for a while and finally decided to use that plan) We sneak in from the back…
Gan Ning: Why not from the front?
Jiang Wei: As you can see, there're several soldiers guarding outside the tower. If we charge forward, not only we got their attention, but trouble to us…
Cao Ren: …and don't forget, you guys still not quite get use with the situation. It'll be too risky for all of us…
Jiang Wei: …plus, I don't know how they'll treat Lu Xun if they knew we're here for him.
Huang Gai: (he too thought for awhile, they did had some point, although he doesn't like to sneak in like a rat, but, for the sake of the others, he too decided to use this plan) Well, it's not a problem to me!
Ma Chao: (both he and the others look at each other, they too agree with it) Ok, if you say so!
Huang Gai: Alright, since there's no object, then, how should we do?
Jiang Wei: As I say, we sneak in from behind. (he point the direction of a back door) You see that? Once we pass through there, we'll use the back door and charge in. Is there any problem? (so far so good, they hear every single word he say and they move out towards the back door. Just before he went off, Huang Gai stops him)
Huang Gai: Are you sure about this? Once you went in, you would…
Jiang Wei: …you don't have to worried about me, I've prepare for this…
Huang Gai: Well… If you insists…(then they walks towards the back door)
Once they reach the back door, Cao Ren opens the door and went in the tower, climbing stairs…again…
Gan Ning: What? Not again… Why do we have to climb everyday?
Ling Tong: Hey, no argue! We did not ask for this!
Ma Chao: Yeah! If we charge from the front, we might get in troubles…
Jiang Wei: …besides, this is the best choice we got!
Gan Ning: OK, ok. Sheesh! You guys don't have to keep yiedling at me… But I got one question, how tall this tower are?
Jiang Wei: (somehow, he just stops there, which makes his friends stops too)
Huang Gai: What's wrong? Is there a problem?
Jiang Wei: (at first he was embarrassed to say it, but since they wants the truth, he scratch his head and say it) Well, actually… It's almost 50th floor height… (now their faces' expression were shown! They never thought that they need to climb to 50th floor height!)
Gan Ning: What?! 50th floor? Are you crazy?!
Jiang Wei: Although it's 50th floor, but we just need to climb until 40th floor…
Ma Chao: Oh no we won't! Do you expect us to climb that high?!
Jiang Wei: Hey, I thought you guys agree on this!
Gan Ning: Yeah, but not 40th floor! I'm going back down! (he wanted to went down but stopped by Cao Ren)
Cao Ren: Sure, suit yourself. If you think you had no problem with those guys then go ahead, but if you're in trouble, we won't help you as we had go our own way!
Jiang Wei: And don't forget! We came here in peace…well, not really…
Huang Gai: Anyway, compare with it, I prefer going up!
Ling Tong: Yeah, Gan Ning, it's just 40th floor… not a big deal!
Somehow, 1 hour later… Most of them were tired and it's just half way through…
Gan Ning: Now do you think it's 'not a big deal'… (he look at Ling Tong with 'I want to kill you's eye)
Ling Tong: Well, you never know how hard it is…
Gan Ning: Never know! My butt! This is torturing! And we've been climbing up like that for hours!
Ma Chao: Uh, Gan Ning, it's just 1 hour…
Gan Ning: So what! (they started to argue with each other)
Huang Gai: Come to think of it, which floor is this? (somehow no one answer him) Hello, I'm asking here!
Cao Ren: Like we would count!
Huang Gai: What?! Then how should we know which floor is it?!
Cao Ren: I bet it's just around 20th floor…
Ma Chao: If that's the case, we're still half way through, right?!
Jiang Wei: That's right! We almost there! The true is… I don't know which floor is it…
As they keeps on climbing, they started to get tired…
Gan Ning: Are we there yet?
Ling Tong: Not yet!
Gan Ning: Are we there yet?
Ling Tong: Not yet!
Gan Ning: Are we there yet?
Ling Tong: (this time he was frustrated) I said not yet! And don't ask again!
Gan Ning: But…!
Ling Tong: No more but! If you ask again, I'm going to sit on you and make you walk! (now, Gan Ning dare not to ask. They just keep on climbing until they really could not make it anymore)
Ma Chao: *Huff!* Ok, I give up! I'll rest here for awhile…
Wei Yan: (he too exhausted) Me…too… (then, both of them sit on the stairs)
Xu Huang: Come on, is this what we train for? (Actually he too exhausted, but did not show it out)
Ma Chao: *huff* Hey, we're human… not a god! *huff*
Gan Ning: Besides, we're too tired! (he sat besides Wei Yan and Ma Chao)
Ling Tong: *huff* Come on, don't be lazy! There's still long way to go…
Huang Gai: *huff* That's easy for you to say… (stands besides Gan Ning)
Gan Ning: Look, if you think you still had the stamina to do it, then go ahead! I'm done here! *huff*
Ling Tong: Fine! Xu Huang, let's go! (but before they climb a step, their legs started to felt weak and sit on the floor)
Gan Ning: Look who's talking now…
Cao Ren: (he just shook his head, if this keeps up, they'll surely in trouble) Jiang Wei, I think we should stop for awhile…
Jiang Wei: …I agree… (then, they all sit on the stairs and get a rest)
Since the situation was too quiet, Huang Gai decided to say something…
Huang Gai: Say, Jiang Wei… (This caught Jiang Wei's attention and looks at him)…why you want to save that kid… I mean uh… I heard from the ladies, they say that he's a bit… 'weird' and they seems don't like him… So I was wondering why…(Jiang Wei just kept silence, without reply any)
Cao Ren: Come to think of it, I never really seen him around here before… is he new here?
Jiang Wei: No, he's been staying here for quite some time, it's just that…
Huang Gai: Huh? If that's the case, why we never meet him before?
Gan Ning: I guess because of his jerk attitude so no one even care to know him… (he take it as a joke but somehow was receive by a hit from Ling Tong) I'm telling the facts!
Huang Gai: Even so, we might meet somewhere…(at this moment, Jiang Wei stands up and went up) Where you going?
Jiang Wei: I've rest enough, I'm going up… (then he went up without waiting them)
Gan Ning: What's his problem? (they just watch Jiang Wei going up, wondering of why Jiang Wei's behaving that way)
Once they had rest enough, they continue to climb. Few minutes later, they finally arrive at 40th floor!
Gan Ning: At last… we're…here!!!!! (he stretch his body and gives himself a deep breathe)
Ma Chao: You know, I don't want to see any stairs in my life!
Jiang Wei: Alright, we have no time to rest! Let's go! (he open the exit door and proceed his next plan)
As they proceed to the next floor, they saw several soldiers guarding certain floor. They tried their best to sneak through them and hoping not cause any trouble. "Listen, from here onward was their office, so there'll be some guards around and they might hide Lu Xun somewhere else too, so try to stay on guard. We don't want any problem from that." Jiang Wei advice. He don't want any of them to get in trouble.
As they reach 46th floor, they saw Zhang Jiao who just came out from a room, mumbling something about his precious specimen and walk towards the upper stairs. Once Jiang Wei saw him, he clutches his fist and his heart bumping fast, wanted to chase him down.
Jiang Wei: That's him! We gotta follow him! (then he ran off and chase after Zhang Jiao)
Huang Gai: W…wait! (they too follow Jiang Wei and chase Zhang Jiao) What's going on?
Jiang Wei: It might had something to do with Lu Xun!
All: What?
Huang Gai: How come you know that? You knew him?
Jiang Wei: That's Professor Zhang Jiao. He's the Head from Research Department.
Huang Gai: Zhang Jiao? Never heard of him… Have you, Cao Ren?
Cao Ren: No, this is the first time I meet him… Although, I do heard some weird rumors about him, like… using human to create into monsters and so on…
Jiang Wei: Actually, that's not rumors. He did experimenting and make some research about it. For him, everything is experimental to him. He'll never let it go until success. Nevertheless, we need to find out where he keep Lu Xun before it's too late!
Huang Gai: Ok, now that you explain it, but, what does it had to do with the boy…?
Xu Huang:…and how do you that he had something to do with him?
Jiang Wei: (Right now, he don't care whether he need to answer their questions or not. In his mind, he was focusing on Zhang Jiao and hoping he could find out where they keep Lu Xun)
Huang Gai: (he knew he was serious now, whenever there're something on his mind, he'll never pay attention around his surrounding until he fulfill it. He just let out a soft sigh and let it go, he knows they'll never get through him)
Once they reach the higher floor, they saw Zhang Jiao walk into a laboratory. As they went in, they saw some monster and human bodies were hanging around in the lab. Although they did stop by and see what kind of organ was it, but as they went in deeper, the more freakier it was! They notice that most of the body were being cut out and some had been evolved to another kind of strange body, some sort a monster's type! "You know, this Zhang Jiao was way freakier than our Zhang Jiao…" Ma Chao exclaimed. "I guess I had to agree with you, I guess our Zhang Jiao are better then this one…" Xu Huang admits, for some reasons, he likes the Zhang Jiao they knew. Although they're enemy, but Xu Huang glad that he was not as psycho as this one… (well, maybe he should cut out the facts that he always mention about 'God')
Without wasting time, they quickly went up! Once they arrive, the first thing they saw was Lu Xun who being lock in a big tube, struggling to get out! Of course they can't just sit there and watch! They quickly took out their weapon, ready to hit the tube. Lu Xun, somehow looks surprise! He did not expect they would come! "You idiots! I thought I told you not to come!" Lu Xun yell, while still inside the tube! "Hey, at least say 'thanks', we came here to rescue you!" Gan Ning reply. "You fools! It is a trap! Get out!" Lu Xun tried to shoo his friends off, but unfortunately, they were surrounded by soldiers who now pointing their guns at them!
Then, Zhou Yu and Zhang Jiao came out from the door! They smirk at them. Now, they could feels themselves frustrated and wanted to fight, but they could not. They've been surrounded! And worse, they have no way out!
Zhou Yu: Surrender, you fools! You're totally set in our traps…
Xu Huang: But… how could that be…?
Zhou Yu: It's simple, you guys definitely will come to rescue him of course, and with that, we use him as a bait to lure you out! (he cover his face and laugh)
Gan Ning: Why you… (he wanted to hit him, but because of the situation, he gives up.
Zhang Jiao: (At the same time, Zhang Jiao ordered the soldiers to push the tube out of the room) Ah… my precious specimen, you did your job so well that I wanted to rip your body's apart! Ha Ha Ha…! (he walks towards the door and went out)
Jiang Wei: No!
Zhao Yun: Well, well, we meet again… Jiang Wei… (he walk out and confront him) Never thought I would meet you here…! (he charge towards Jiang Wei which to his surprise, he manage to block his attack)
As Zhao Yun and Jiang Wei fight, the others thought this was an opportunity to fight them back, but was caught by the soldiers in the end, and chaining them up. Seeing the situation, Jiang Wei wanted to help them but was halt by Zhao Yun. As he let his guard down, Zhao Yun quickly strike at his neck! Although Jiang Wei manage to dodge, but most of his collar was torn apart and reveal something else! It was a mark! "That mark…You!" Zhao Yun shout at him! He didn't expect he would meet 'him' again. Somehow Jiang Wei tried to use his hands to cover his mark, but was immediately stop by someone else. As he looks behind, to his horror, it was Pang De. He never thought he was right at his back all this time. Pang De quickly took out a tiger-collar to put it on Jiang Wei's neck.
Jiang Wei, of course tried to pull it out! He knew what's this devices for and the worst thing was, he could not get it out! Pang De just stood there, watching Jiang Wei struggling to pull out. Without sympathy, he took out a remote control and switch it on. Now the whole tiger-collar became a wrapper. It wraps Jiang Wei's neck, and slowly his body and lastly his leg (by the way, it did not makes him like a Mummy, just one or two chain on each part). Once the procedure done, he walks towards Jiang Wei and watching him still struggle to move. Just as Pang De order the soldiers to arrest them, Zhao Yun stops him.
Zhao Yun: Sir Pang De! (he hold Pang De's hand)
Pang De: Don't interfere, Zhao Yun!
Zhao Yun: I know! But, could you let me check one thing! Just one!
Pang De: *sigh* (he gives up, letting Zhao Yun check his thing. At first, he thought he would make his 'childish' prank at Jiang Wei since he could not move. As he watch Zhao Yun grab the boy's shoulder, he started to looks different, and to him, it was not all right at all) Zhao Yun, what is it? Zhao Yun!
Zhao Yun: (he don't know what to say, he does not believe his eyes!) It is you…
Pang De: (now, this really makes Pang De piss off. The last thing he saw was Zhao Yun grabbing the boy's shoulder and this time, he did the same thing! He grab the boy's shoulder and see the reason why Zhao Yun acting that way) That mark… impossible… (he too does not believe himself)
Zhao Yun: It's…it's Bo Yue! (at first, no one seems to understand what he say, but as he say the second time, everyone was surprise by it) It's Bo Yue! I definitely recognize that! That's his mark!
Pang De: Bo Yue…? It can't be… but aren't he suppose…? (of course he can't just jump into the conclusion. He needs some proof and decide what to do)
Dian Wei: Zhao Yun, are you sure about that? There's no way that would be him!
Zhao Yun: ( now he look at the boy) Bo Yue? You are Bo Yue, right?
Jiang Wei: (somehow, he just ignore him and resists) No! I'm not Bo Yue, you must have mistook some wrong guy!
Zhao Yun: Don't give me that stupid answer! I definitely knew that mark and I knew who you are! (somehow Jiang Wei still resist, he doesn't want to admit a thing)
Zhou Yu: (he walk towards Pang De) So, what would you do, leader? (cover his face, showing a small smile)
Pang De: (he thought for awhile, and came to decision) Alright, Zhou Yu! Dian Wei! Take those guys to Lord Cao Cao while I'll take this boy to the Identify Room, I need to know who he really is… (Both Zhou Yu and Dian Wei salute him and went off to take the prisoners to Lord Cao Cao. Just as he was about to leave, Zhao Yun came to him)
Zhao Yun: Sir, would you allow me to come with you? I want to know too! So please! (he bow at him, pleading him)
Pang De: (he could only blame himself. He knew him too well) Alright! Alright! You can come! But, your assignment need to be done too! (Zhao Yun's eye bright up and follow him to the Identify Room)
In Cao Cao's Conference Room…
Both Zhou Yu and Dian Wei came in, taking the prisoners with them. As they came in, they salute Cao Cao and stands aside. Cao Cao, who was sitting in the middle of the room, stands up and walks towards them.
Cao Cao: So… these are the one who makes ruckus earlier… I'm impress you guys could come this far… (he touch his moustache and laugh)
Huang Gai: Heck! Like you would! After all what you done, you think you deserve to say that?!
Cao Cao: Hm… Did I just did something? I don't remember… (he turn away, pretending forgotten)\
Huang Gai: Don't play fool! We know what you done in Area 3! You're the one behind all this!
Cao Cao: Oh, I remember, but pardon me, aren't you guys the one who done it in the first place? If only you guys did not oppose us in the beginning, I might let you go…
Huang Gai: Like the hell I wouldn't do that! You tried to kill this planet by using it's power! Not only you've done that, you kill lots of innocent people!
Cao Cao: My, my, is that why you against us? I'm just barely, helping these citizens, to lives in luxurious… was that a sin? Further more, I killed innocent people? Don't make laugh! (he look at Huang Gai, with his evil face)
Huang Gai: Why you ruckus…&^%! (he feels like he wanted to punch him, but he was hold by the soldiers)
Zhou Yu: Lord Cao Cao, you don't have to say a word anymore, that's just waste of time! (he could see that Huang Gai and the others started to move, as if wanted to fight. Watching the whole scene makes him enjoyable and he laughs out loud)
Cao Cao: (he went back to his desk and sits) Well, if you'll excuse me, I have something to be done… (he ask Zhou Yu and Dian Wei to take them out)
Ling Tong: (he tried to release their grip but fail) Ah…You jerk!
Gan Ning: Let us go!
Ma Chao: You won't get away from this!
Behind their back, Cao Cao let out a laugh for his satisfaction. Just before they went out the door, Zhang Jiao came.
Cao Cao: Ah, Professor, how's the progress going?
Zhang Jiao: He, he, everything are fine… Once everything was set up, I'll begin the experiment!
Gan Ning: Wait! You're the one who took Lu Xun away! What had you done to him?!
Zhang Jiao: Lu Xun? So that's his name… Pity, I was hoping to gives him a name too… But, I guess I'll overcome that, he, he ,he…
Ling Tong: Damn you, just answer the question! What have you done, and what do you want from him?!
Zhang Jiao: Oh, didn't you know, he is the most perfect specimen I've ever seen! Ever since he was born, I've been eager to caught him for experimenting, but somehow not, thank to those guys… (he looks at Zhou Yu with evil eye, makes him shivered for what they've done previously) But anyway, now that he was here, I'll use this time to understand him more than ever! Ha Ha Ha!
Cao Ren: That's still not answer our question! What do think he is, some sort a monster?
Zhang Jiao: Actually, yes. (now this really piss them off) You see, he had those 'thing' in his blood and that's makes him a perfect creature! Try to think of this, both parents carried different bloodline and it's a creatures' blood. What happen in the end… puff! A child was born with monster's blood! Cool huh? Ha Ha Ha!
Gan Ning: So, you telling us that that's how you created him?! You monster!
Zhang Jiao: For your contrary, I'm not. You should blame his parents for doing this! You see, his mother was one of SiHuang Mu's descend while his father was… (before he could finish it, Pang De came in for report)
Pang De: Lord Cao Cao! (he made a salute)
Cao Cao: Yes, what is it? Make it quick.
Pang De: It's about the boy from this rebellion, we've confirmed who he was and …
Zhang Jiao: Right, right, say it already, I've still have something to do…
Pang De: (he just roll his eye and continue) For your information sir, he was once our member, Bo Yue! (Hearing this, most of them were surprise! They did not expect that Jiang Wei was actually Bo Yue, and worst, he was a former HURT!)
Dian Wei: Bo…Bo Yue? The one that being executed half month ago? That's… not possible! No one would survive that! Sir, did you…?
Pang De: (he just glare at Dian Wei, asking him to shut up) Do you not think that I'm not surprise? We been check that for three times and it was a positive. Now that he's still alive, what should we do, Lord Cao Cao?
Cao Cao: (he thought for a while, he never expect this would getting interesting.) Ha, ha, as usual, execute him. (Huang Gai and the others were surprise, they wanted to against it but hold by the soldiers again)
Pang De: As your command. (he salute and leaves the room)
Zhang Jiao: Hm… He manage to survive that? Must be my mistake… maybe I should…(he slowly leaves the room and thought of something)
Zhou Yu: Hm… so that kid still alive… Never mind, I'll play it along…Lord Cao Cao, what should we do with them? (he look at Huang Gai and the others, hoping Cao Cao could gives him a good answer)
Cao Cao: Hmp! Take them to the prison, and let them stay with their so call 'going to executed' friend. This might be their last chance to meet. Ha Ha Ha…! Oh, and don't forget to reschedule the time, we might execute them too… (then he stands and leaves the room, leaving the rest behind)
Zhou Yu: As you command… (after both he and Dian Wei salute Cao Cao, they immediately took the prisoners to their prison, waiting for their punishment)
Alright, this ends the chapter.
As you could see, now they're imprison by Cao Cao's forces and waiting for their punishment. Not only that, Jiang Wei was about to get executed while Lu Xun will be Zhang Jiao's specimen!
On next chapter, what'll will happen next! Would they manage to get away!? Would this be their end of their life?! And what kind of secret they've been hiding so far?! As always, stay tune for more!
