Chapter 260 is about experimental subjects.

"If...if I told you, would you send me to be experimented on?"

The usually lively and cheerful little madwoman revealed a hint of heartbreaking fear at this moment.

The three people present were stunned for a moment.

Karasuma Renya stared at him, slightly taken aback, then suddenly chuckled softly, her tone certain, "No."

"real?"

The baby-faced boy's skepticism made Karasuma Renya sigh deeply. "Really, absolutely not."

“Hmm…” Bertrand frowned slightly and hesitated for a moment, “Alright, then I’ll trust you for now.”

Karasuma Renya's lips twitched slightly.

for the time being?

Bertrand swung his legs and grabbed Seeker's white coat, draping it over his own back.

Seekert: ?

Bertrand puffed out his cheeks, seemingly thinking about how to start the conversation.

"Actually... I am an experimental subject."

Three people: ?

“I was created for an experiment, and I should not exist in this world…a clone.”

Bertrand said calmly.

"Those mad scientists said I was the most perfect creation, but my perfect creation became a... junk the moment the experiment failed."

"They wanted to destroy me, but I blew up that experimental base. I don't know if those scientists died in there."

As he spoke, he sniffed, tears welling up in his eyes again, his voice choked with emotion and filled with grievance, "That experiment hurt so much... They always hit me..."

Seeker listened, stunned, and couldn't help but pat his head with a touch of tenderness.

Karasuma Renya frowned, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, but softened when he looked at Bertrand. He asked in a low voice, "What experiment?"

Bertrand paused for a moment, then uttered two words.

"'Symbiosis'."

"They wanted to achieve a shared life and death between the two of them."

Gin, who was standing to the side, seemed to have thought of something, and his dark green eyes darkened slightly. "Is that person we saw last time who looks exactly like you related to you?"

Bertrand pursed his lips. "I don't know, because my clone died in the experiment when I was two years old, and a different person was used when I was three."

"So... is the characteristic of this failed experiment that if one party is injured, the other party will feel pain?" Seeker guessed, squinting his eyes.

“To be precise, it’s body sympathy…” Bertrand rested his head on Seeker’s shoulder, his hand involuntarily covering his abdomen.

Gin reached into his pocket and touched his gun, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes. His tone was somewhat cold, "What if we kill the other party?"

"I will die too."

The simple four words "baby face" made the air in the room freeze.

Gin frowned and loosened his grip on the gun. "What a nuisance."

"In that case, how about we bring Chino Chitake to the base and imprison her?" Sekt pushed up his glasses, a slightly expectant smile curving his lips.

Bertrand glanced at him, then gently patted his chin. "No way!"

"Why not? He's been injured so many times already, including this one!" Seeker said, somewhat displeased.

Bertrand puffed out his cheeks and muttered, "It just won't work..."

"Because...because there are still people watching him in the dark, and those people won't allow you to take him away."

"Who?" the three asked almost simultaneously.
