Of course, he did. How could he forget? That was the very accident that officially branded XIU as a wanted criminal, and it also marked the time when He Juan seldom returned home. Mu Yuze could still recall the fear, dread and apprehension he felt every single day when he turned on the television, torn between wanting to hear more about He Juan and fearing that it would be bad news.

He Juan offered him a strained smile. "There was this one theory stating that the culprit was a mutant, but in the end it was treated more like a fake rumor. What if… it's true? What if I told you that those so-called 'mutants' or 'monsters' truly exist?"
"...What?" Mu Yuze's voice was barely a whisper, his pupils shaking in disbelief.
