Chapter 46: The Caged Bird and the Observer

Sleep until you wake up naturally.

Jiang Chaoyang sighed and buried his head in the quilt again.

According to Lin Yuan, Yin Curse was not originally a character in this book. He was able to enter the world only by relying on the connection with Lin Yuan. Because of the unbinding, Yin Curse is now in a state of neither human nor ghost.

But Yin Zhu himself agreed to the unbinding, and Lin Yuan also told him that uncontrollable situations might occur.

Now Yin Curse is just like Lin Yuan, only Jiang Chaoyang can see him, but Yin Curse is in the stream of consciousness and cannot appear in the world like Lin Yuan.

Jiang Chaoyang was glad that he no longer had to help Yin Zhu avoid those attacking characters.

The fact that his pheromones could not be extracted was indeed Lin Yuan's fault.

The sensor door opens to both sides.

It was boring to stay in the laboratory, and Miao Xiu Yu didn't know where he went.

Driven by an inexplicable impulse, Jiang Chaoyang strolled out and groped in the corridor based on his vague memory.

Perhaps it was some strange fate that brought him to that familiar door again.

Hearing the movement at the door, the man didn't even pause and spoke without turning his head:

"What are you planning to visit this time?"

Jiang Chaoyang, who had scored three goals, touched his nose and went in: "Dr. Yu, are you busy?"

Yu Siran ignored him and continued with the delicate operation in his hands.

Jiang Chaoyang shamelessly moved closer, maintaining a safe distance, and asked tentatively, "Can I ask you a few questions?"

The liquid in the dropper fell steadily into the device. Yu Siran then turned sideways and asked: "Do I look like an encyclopedia?"

Jiang Chaoyang pointed at the device and said, "I'm curious about what experiment you are doing?"

"Anshensu."

Jiang Chaoyang nodded, but did not leave. He leaned on the idle laboratory table, his eyes following Yu Siran's movements.

He swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue. The other person was busy working, and talking beside him would only annoy the other person.

After an unknown amount of time, Yu Siran finally completed the stage of operation. He rubbed his brows slightly tiredly and reached out to take the recording board placed a little further away.

Suddenly, his elbow accidentally hit the reagents placed next to him, and several tubes rolled down from the edge of the table.

But there was no sound of breaking glass, but instead a questioning voice came:

"You didn't get enough rest, did you?"

Yu Siran paused, looked up and saw several intact tubes of reagents in Jiang Chaoyang's hand.

Jiang Chaoyang put the reagents back in their place. He noticed the dark circles under Yu Siran's eyes. "Are all of you researchers so dedicated? No matter how important the experiment is, you should get enough rest. Otherwise, your efficiency will be reduced, which will only delay things."

Yu Siran retracted his gaze, "No."

Jiang Chaoyang asked: "Do you need my help?"

"If you want to have a good relationship with me, just say so."

Jiang Chaoyang was not angry after being exposed. "Just tell me if you need someone to help you."

"It's up to you." Yu Siran turned and walked towards another workbench.

Seeing hope, Jiang Chaoyang began to follow Yu Siran and observe his operating procedures, and by the way, predict in advance the tools he would need.

Jiang Chaoyang didn't ask any questions throughout the whole process. His main goal now was to make Yu Siran not resist him staying here.

Time passes quietly in the ticking instrument.

After finishing his work, Jiang Chaoyang didn't linger for long and walked towards the door. Before leaving, he turned his head and smiled: "I will come again next time. Dr. Yu, remember to wait for me."

Jiang Chaoyang didn't give Yu Siran a chance to refute and quickly left the laboratory.

Yu Siran: “…”

Jiang Chaoyang looked at the corridor and decided that he could no longer run around like a headless fly. He had to try to figure out the route.

As he walked, Jiang Chaoyang found a staircase leading upwards in an inconspicuous corner.

Jiang Chaoyang cheered up.

Are there more than one layer of SA institutions?

After going upstairs, there was still the endless corridor. Everything was exactly the same as below. Jiang Chaoyang suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Does the designer of this damn place have an obsession with white and mazes?

Jiang Chaoyang continued to move forward, trying to find the difference between this floor and the one below.

Suddenly, a hand patted his shoulder from behind.

"New here?"

Jiang Chaoyang was startled and turned around.

Standing in front of him was a man of outstanding appearance, with a slightly curious smile on his lips and a pair of peach blossom eyes slightly curved, looking very harmless.

Seeing Jiang Chaoyang's alert face, the man took the initiative to extend his hand, "Don't be nervous, I'm also a soothing alpha, my name is Xie Song."

Xie Song complained with a tone of sympathy: "Judging from your appearance, you've only been here for a short time, haven't you? Are you almost driven crazy by this place?"

Jiang Chaoyang asked: "Have you been here for a long time?"

Xie Song's smile was a little bitter: "It's been a while, you'll get used to it."

Jiang Chaoyang opened his mouth and suddenly noticed Xie Song's clean and tidy clothes.

Jiang Chaoyang remained expressionless and followed up on the other person's question, "Do you know how many floors there are here? Why do they all look the same?"

The smile in Xie Songtaohua's eyes deepened. "The floor we are on now is a separate area, the observation area. The floor below is a mixture of areas two and three, used for experiments and data collection. There is also a negative layer below that, but we can't go there."

Jiang Chaoyang nodded, "What are you doing in District 1?"

"Go get checked. We're about to start the next round of pheromone extraction." Xie Song paused and asked, "Didn't anyone notify you?"

Jiang Chaoyang coughed and said, "I wasn't feeling well, so they didn't let me go."

After saying goodbye to Xie Song, Jiang Chaoyang stopped unconsciously. He frowned, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally decided to follow and see.

Even if Xie Song is fine, it would be good to know more about the so-called examination.

Jiang Chaoyang quickened his pace and chased in the direction Xie Song left. Just as he turned a corner, he suddenly bumped into someone's chest.

Jiang Chaoyang staggered back a step, covered his aching nose and raised his head.

Fan Mixi was not surprised to see Jiang Chaoyang and jokingly said, "Isn't this the second time you've run into my arms?"

Jiang Chaoyang didn't want to get entangled with him, so he turned sideways and tried to walk around him.

But Fan Mixi was quicker. He stretched out his long arm and grabbed Jiang Chaoyang's wrist. "Why are you running? Who are you trying to find in such a hurry?"

Jiang Chaoyang tried to pull his hand back, but it was held tighter. He turned back speechlessly, "Where I go is none of your business."

"Why is it none of my business?" Fan Mixi chuckled, raised his other hand, and used his fingers to gently lift the scattered hair on Jiang Chaoyang's forehead.

His movements seemed intimate, but his eyes looked as if he was examining an object. "Didn't I tell you not to wander off to other areas? Why are you so disobedient?"

Jiang Chaoyang looked at Fan Mixi's face so close to him, knowing that he couldn't force his way through. He took a deep breath and said, "I'm just lost."

Fan Mixi released the hand that was holding his wrist, but put his arm directly on Jiang Chaoyang's shoulder. In a half-forced and half-intimate gesture, he turned him in another direction and pushed him back the way he came.

"Then I'll take you back myself, so that you don't run into anything you shouldn't see." Fan Mixi's voice was filled with a happy smile as he whispered in his ear.

A warm breath brushed across Jiang Chaoyang's ear:

"There are people I shouldn't meet."

——On the other side at this time.

Xie Song leaned against the wall, his peach blossom eyes without a trace of warmth. When footsteps were heard, Xie Song still did not raise his eyes.

When the footsteps stopped, the smile on Xie Song's face reappeared, but his eyes did not move at all: "You are quite nosy?"

"How could that be?"

Fan Mizai spoke in a relaxed tone, walking past Xie Song as if they had just met by chance, without even looking back.

"It's just that we don't really like people touching our things."
