Chu Lu was half asleep and half awake, but he didn't really want to wake up completely and face reality.

...At the end of the day, he was caught.

In fact, he could have escaped if he had insisted, but he turned back halfway.

Because when he was just one layer away from leaving the institute, he smelled something wrong.

With a premonition of crisis, the brain quickly analyzed the ingredients of the taste——

The oxide of CKXTP, a special substance of Rolthar.

The former is an excellent culture medium base material, and its oxide... has another more understandable name - liquid explosive.

Judging from the concentration and quantity he smelled, it was enough to send the entire institute to heaven.

No matter whether he was about to come out or Vasily who was still inside, no one could escape...

Chu Lu: "..."

Chu Lu always knew that he was a lunatic who hid himself well (?), but he didn't expect him to be so crazy.

If it were just him and Vasily, Chu Lu might actually consider dying together.

But let's not talk about the fact that Servis and his subordinates are still inside the institute, and more than half of the researchers are still locked up in the laboratory by him! Even if the system remotely opens all the doors now, there is no time for everyone to escape.

A blatant trap.

Although he had expected this, when Chu Lu followed the source of the smell and met Vasily's smiling green eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.

——He hated any threat that used life as a bargaining chip.

Although he didn't know why the other party regarded him as a "successful work", this did not prevent Chu Lu from using it as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Vasily. However... before the conversation between the two began, he was knocked unconscious.

It was Servis who took action.

By the way, this person's iris color is also a rare green.

Chu Lu: "..."

Good, starting today, he hates green eyes.

He half regained consciousness several times before falling into darkness again.

In addition to his subjective will, the liquid around him also has a sleeping effect.

...repair fluid.

Although he was not awake for long and even his eyes were not open, it was enough for Chu Lu to judge his current situation.

——He was soaking in the treatment chamber.

Does the New Alliance treat prisoners so well?

Chu Lu was puzzled.

But then I understood a little: if it was clear, then it was indeed possible.

After being forced to be autistic for a long time, Chu Lu finally managed to open his unusually heavy eyelids and met a pair of green eyes again.

Chu Lu: "..."

However, he soon realized that it was not the other person's original eye color, but the color superimposed by the repair fluid and the treatment chamber shell.

The iris color that is deduced from the reverse direction should be just ordinary brown.

The lady standing nearby had her blonde hair neatly tied up behind her head and was wearing a professional suit.

…

Whether it was clothes, accessories or makeup, she deliberately chose mature styles. Unlike most women, she hated her youthful appearance. Combined with her professional attire, it was initially speculated that she was not trusted at work because of her appearance... Her cuffs and collar were neatly trimmed without a single wrinkle, and even her hair was carefully groomed. She was very serious, and even had a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder... She had taken energy potions for a long time...

…

…………

The moment he opened his eyes, Chu Lu was almost overwhelmed by the overwhelming amount of information.

Not only the personal analysis of the lady in front of him, but also the repair fluid around him, the treatment chamber he was in, and the unfamiliar environment outside, all turned into a large amount of information flowing in. And as his senses gradually recovered, the situation became worse. Since his physical condition began to deteriorate, Chu Lu had not experienced this level of information baptism for a long time.

He closed his eyes feeling a little uncomfortable, and two bubbles came out of his mouth.

Although his vision was in darkness and the soundproofing of the treatment chamber was top-notch, Chu Lu still judged from the slight vibration that the lady next to him had left quickly. Chu Lu, who had already guessed the other party's position from the information he got from the brief opening of his eyes, immediately understood who he was going to meet next.

——But it shouldn’t be that fast.

The position of the alliance leader is not so idle, and Mingzhao probably won't be able to spare it for a while.

At this time, he had already keenly deduced from his current situation that there might have been some misunderstanding about what happened back then.

However, due to insufficient intelligence, the exact cause could not be found for the time being.

After all, Servis's murderous intention towards him was real at that time.

…

…………

The one who arrived earlier than Mingzhao was Vasily.

Chu Lu:......

He confirmed that he was now in the territory of the New Alliance, and the lady who had just left was definitely Ming Zhao's subordinate, so Vasily, who could move freely here, seemed particularly suspicious.

However, Chu Lu quickly found the locator, the listening device, the shackles used for arrest, etc. on the other party, and determined that the other party's "freedom" was quite limited. Vasily had obviously exchanged his current status for some conditions.

Whether as a senior member of the old [Star Clan] or a researcher who has mastered some of the internal information of [Isuflora], Vasily has a lot of chips in his hands, but to be able to exchange to this extent... Chu Lu feels that the other party does not have many cards left.

However, it is obvious that the parties are very satisfied with the exchange terms.

After Vasily came in, he went to the operating table beside him to adjust something. After a while, the repair fluid that filled Chu Lu slowly receded.

Chu Lu immediately understood that "Ling Lu"'s current physical condition was the result of adjustments made by the other party, and he further discovered with mixed feelings that "himself" might also be one of the conditions of the exchange.

The hatch of the treatment chamber moved down a short distance, revealing Chu Lu's head, and then he met a face with a gentle smile.

If his body hadn’t been so stiff that he couldn’t move, Chu Lu would have almost turned his head away.

——No matter how many times I see it, the incongruity between this expression and Vasily's is enough to send a chill down my spine.

But the person being disliked obviously didn't realize this, and he asked with concern: "How do you feel?"

Chu Lu: "..."

It feels like working so hard for so long, only to be back to the pain of being back to the time before liberation.

Although his physical condition was better than ever, his expanded senses made him want to lock himself in a confinement room... Oh, no, the structure of this place was almost the same as a confinement room...

Vasily didn't care when he didn't get a reply.

He raised his hand and tapped the operating table a few times, as if he was continuing to adjust the ratio of the repair fluid.

His expression finally returned to normal at this time, a bit like his usual research state.

Chu Lu also confirmed his guess from Vasily's attitude all along, and he also roughly guessed the reason why Servis turned to cooperate with Vasily when he was in Gallaher's research institute.

I can only say that Vasily is really cruel.

But those things... don't matter to this person.

Chu Lu raised his hand and fumbled for the button on the inside of the treatment cabin. The cabin door moved a short distance to the lower right, allowing Chu Lu, who had recovered some strength, to finally half-sit up.

He asked coldly, "Did you misunderstand something, Professor Gould?"

Chu Lu knew the ultimate goal of TY's plan.

But for someone like him, his senses would be overloaded when he encountered a little danger, let alone fighting the enemy. In a serious situation, he might not even be able to stand steadily. No matter how you look at it, he has nothing to do with the term "humanoid weapon", right?

What on earth misled Vasily, making him think he was a "successful product"? Because he could resist the [core control command]? This situation is a huge flaw in the TY plan, right?

"Misunderstand?"

Vasily, who was adjusting the proportion of the repair fluid, turned around and raised his voice with a hint of surprise.

His expression returned to that kind of gentleness that made people's scalps tingle. "No, my child...how could I misunderstand you? Are you talking about the past? It was all my fault...I didn't even notice it..."

"You are successful, perfect..."

"…It just takes time to grow…"

As he spoke, the expression on his face became increasingly hot, and he couldn't help but raise his hand, as if he wanted to touch Chu Lu's wet black hair. However, because of the undisguised resistance in Chu Lu's eyes, he withdrew his hand regretfully.

But the gazes he cast over were still strangely eager, "...You are different from them, from the very beginning..."

From the beginning?!

Chu Lu suddenly realized something.

Vasily was still intoxicated as he explained, "No matter how powerful a weapon is, it is used to protect, to protect the 'mind', just like [Isoflorus]..."

"You are different," he repeated, his eyes focused as if he was looking at his beloved lover, the child who continued his life, or the crystallization of his life's hard work, "... different from their existence..."

The repeated emphasis on "different" and the other party's specific mention of [Isuflo] gave Chu Lu a bad feeling.

According to the plot, "Ling Lu" is indeed a member of the TY project, but unlike other experimental subjects, he sacrificed his physical fitness to develop his brain to verify his ideas... But what exactly is he verifying? This madman can't...

The smile on Vasily's face was so crazy that it was a little twisted.

"You are new and alive... [Issuflor]..."

Chu Lu: Fuck!

system:! ! !

The system quickly explained: [I, I... didn't make any sound just now! ]

Chu Lu: [……]

He was the one who cursed.

Are you crazy?!

Inputting an entire interstellar lost civilization into the brain of an individual, even if it is only a part of it, is enough to turn that person into an idiot.

In the process of forming a small world, key figures may be missing due to various accidents, which is why the Space Bureau needs to send taskers. But the situation of "Ling Lu" is obviously man-made!

Chu Lu was now finally certain that he was right in identifying this man as the villain boss.

And now——

Chu Lu confirmed that his sea of consciousness had not received any extra content. "Open the mental shield at any time in the small world to prevent the overflowing information and energy that the body cannot bear from polluting your main consciousness." This was a rare point taught by an irresponsible teacher. Since he had no problem, it could only be...

Chu Lu to the system: [Check your memory disk, especially the content added after the last time you came to this world. ]

The system was not sure whether the host believed its previous rebuttal. It responded slowly and a little aggrievedly, "...Oh."

A moment later——

[Huh? !!!]

Chu Lu: "..."

Okay, he gets it.

Vasily was still looking at him intently, as if he were looking at some rare treasure.

Chu Lu had already looked up at the door.

A man with brown hair and black eyes appeared behind the door. He didn't look very handsome or imposing, but he had a calming aura about him.

His eyes met Chu Lu's and the man smiled gently, "You're awake."

Compared to the fact that they had not seen each other for several years, this greeting was too plain. After it was said, it seemed as if the two people looking at each other had just met yesterday.

But it makes people feel a sense of security, just like "going home".

The destined child of this world has such a strange infectious power.

Chu Lu actually had a lot of things he wanted to confirm, but when he saw the person in front of him, his spirit suddenly relaxed.

He suddenly felt that those things were not so important, and even his brain, which was working at high speed all the time, relaxed a lot.

He also responded softly, "Yeah," just like he had done in the past many years.

There was a slight hint of laughter in his voice.

Mingzhao asked about his health again with concern, as if it was just an ordinary greeting after recovering from an illness. The question and answer were extremely harmonious. This short and warm greeting ended with Mingzhao saying, "You should have a good rest."

Then Mingzhao turned to look at Vasily.

His brows were slightly furrowed, and although there was still a relaxing smile on his lips, his whole aura was gloomy, making people immediately believe that this person was the leader of [Shattered Star] and the current Alliance Leader.

His voice was gentle, but it carried a tone that could not be refused: "Professor Gould, I think we should have a good talk..."

"…about [Isoflorus], about Lulu…"
