0102 - Blood Test - Silent.
Lu Ming's hand trembled slightly as he let the crimson drop of blood fall onto the surface of the tall, transparent box. The blood mingled with the box's surface as if it was made of liquid, slowly making its way toward the dark red orb at the center.

The blood orb swelled, its surface glowing like veins. Lines shone, displaying something he couldn't interpret. He scratched his head again.
