Chapter 1330 The Returnee's Notes 404

With the hospital matters handled by others, Yang Hong looked at the messages on her phone and asked softly, "Are we going back to the villa?"

Actually, this place is quite far from the villa, and Xie Ning probably won't go back. It's just that Xiao Xi sent a message, so Yang Hong asked about it appropriately.

Xiao Xi is Xie Ning's adopted daughter, and an extremely well-behaved child, so she naturally values ​​her highly.

Xie Ning leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes to rest. "I'm not going back. I'm going... I'm going to see those children."

Quite a few children were brought back from that Eden Research Base, and Xie Ning didn't leave them in the United States to wait for negotiations; instead, he sent planes to transport them back directly.

Among these children, the two babies born in the second month were somewhat special. When they came back, they were taken to have a paternity test done, and the two children did not lie.

However, what they didn't know was that Yuexin had more than just them; they were simply being raised by Yuexin, while another group of children were being raised in a different villa.

You could say they're kept in captivity.

Those children know perfectly well how they came to be. Because of gene editing, they all have different extraordinary talents, and according to the latest test report, those children naturally carry disease-resistant genes.

Some of the so-called terminal illnesses they suffer from now on do not actually endanger their health.

Besides these physical differences, those children were also very mature, indifferent, and had very low empathy.

Because of a long day of work, Xie Ning arrived at the place where the children were being held late at night, but almost half of the children there were still awake.

The institute did not provide them with any electronic products, only some toys and books. The children mostly chose books, except for a few who were particularly young.

Do they still have a chance to get out?

Hearing Xie Ning's question, Professor Qin, who was in charge of this area, smiled and shook his head, "Deputy Director Xie, you should be able to see the violent tendencies hidden among them."

If we give them freedom, society will be less peaceful.

These children have only been here a few days, yet they have already injured no fewer than ten staff members in various ways.

After one round of testing, almost all of these children showed antisocial personality disorder. Who would dare to release them? These children are all psychologically abnormal.

Professor Qin met the child's indifferent gaze through the glass door and felt a chill run down his spine. It is said that those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts.

This sentence is also very appropriate here.

Although these children look no different from ordinary children, they have already drawn a chasm between themselves and modern humans. They are specially customized "new humans," and it seems that they have already distinguished themselves from those who have not undergone gene editing.

Another factor is the instinct of the majority group to reject "different" people.

This means that neither the old nor the new side recognizes or welcomes the other.

As Professor Qin explained the unique talents of the children inside to Xie Ning, she was also worried. In her understanding, gene editing in humans was definitely prohibited, no matter what.

But just like this time, there will always be people who do it secretly.

Of course, in the future, natural people like them will definitely make up the majority, and gene-edited humans may become a special group and thus be subject to many restrictions.

Given that gene-edited humans are superior to natural humans in many ways, would they willingly be oppressed and restricted?

This seems to be unsolvable.

Xie Ning was speechless. No wonder the security here was so tight, with several of the people there being gangsters, and there were cameras everywhere.

Professor Qin continued, "However, because of their young age, no matter how mature they are, they can't compare to adults. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so reckless and injured so many people. After all, this makes us even more vigilant."

Xie Ning stopped in her tracks. "Professor Qin."

"Um?"

"What if they did it on purpose?"
