"This body is really in bad shape." (Yuutai Chika)

Yuutai Chika slowly sat up, rubbing his head with one hand and removing the tubes and electronic devices attached to his body with the other.

"This guy hasn't woken up yet, has he?" (Yuutai Chika)

Yuutai Chika glanced at Chongzong who was still lying down and asked the puzzled uncle.

But the uncle hadn't reacted yet and was a little unsure.

He didn't know if the experiment was successful or failed.

He didn't know who was talking to him right now.

Seeing the uncle's reaction, Yuutai Chika impatiently said,

"It's me, Maeda Yuuji." (Yuutai Chika? Who?)

His expression had completely changed from before, as if he had become a different person, and he referred to himself as Maeda Yuuji.

Hearing this, the uncle finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good that it's you. He has been in a coma, never woke up, and hasn't even moved." (Uncle)

"Very well, get ready to retreat." (Maeda Yuuji)

Maeda Yuuji was still unfamiliar with his new body and moved cautiously.

Only when he became the owner of this body did he realize what had happened to Yuutai Chika.

His body was covered in injuries, with strained muscles in his arms and thighs, and new bruises overlapping with the ones that hadn't healed yet...

It was very, very, miserable.

It also proved that those who idealize violence ultimately perish because of it.

Yuutai Chika, a person who idolized violence, was eventually subdued by violence.

- Although there were still injuries in various parts of his body, overall it was a good body and would be fine with regular exercise.

Maeda Yuuji carried the still unconscious Chongzong on his shoulder.

"I'll go first, I leave the rest to you." (Maeda Yuuji)

"Alright, have a safe journey." (Uncle)

These things, which should have been very complicated and difficult to accomplish, were completed at an unbelievably fast speed under Maeda Yuuji's arrangement.

All of this was because he had started preparing long in advance and made all the necessary arrangements.

More importantly, he ensured that every step, every detail, was executed flawlessly.

After leaving the house, Maeda Yuuji put Chongzong on the ground. For safety reasons, he tied Chongzong's hands and feet with a rope.

Then, he turned back and silently made his way to the basement, not making a sound with every step.

The uncle, who was still tidying up the equipment, didn't know that Maeda Yuuji had returned. He hummed a tune while closing each device.

Maeda Yuuji silently approached the uncle from behind and grabbed his neck.

The force he exerted left the uncle no room to struggle. After a few feeble attempts, the uncle stopped breathing.

Rather than saying he strangled him, it was more accurate to say he almost snapped the uncle's neck.

Afterwards, Maeda Yuuji quickly cleaned up the scene, locked the doors and windows, and left with Chongzong.

Although setting the house on fire would have been the easiest, it would attract unnecessary attention.

Maeda Yuuji wanted to erase every trace of this incident.

Afterwards, Maeda Yuuji completed the impossible task of quietly putting the sleeping Chongzong back into his room at the Uesugi household.

- It's done.

After leaving the Uesugi household, Maeda Yuuji took a deep breath.

Clearly, Maeda Yuuji was not his real name.

His name was Chong MingDe.
