"Qiuqiu".

Number 10 suddenly called out as he looked at the person putting socks on him.

"What's wrong?"

After helping her put on her shoes, the girl who was squatting on the ground looked up at her and blinked in confusion.

Number 10 said calmly:

"My perception of emotions seems to have weakened considerably."

Ye Qiuling stood up and hugged the blank-faced Number Ten. She had been in the laboratory for three years, and because of her remarkably resilient body, she had caught the attention of the doctoral students.

After the successful transformation, she is now a part-time worker in the research lab. Only then did she realize that most of the people here were transformed from experimental subjects into staff members.

She is now mainly responsible for No. 10's life and accompanying No. 10 in the experiment, so the two have been almost inseparable for the past three years.

Number Ten also became dependent on Ye Qiuling, liked to stick to her, trusted her a lot, and slowly realized that something was wrong.

However, as Number Ten grew older, she no longer came into contact with materials that could cause significant harm, and the research institute began to keep a closer eye on her.

They could only lie low and hide.

Ye Qiuling was the spy planted next to Number Ten.

Unfortunately, these people were too confident in their ability to tamper with the potion, thinking they had successfully altered her memories. However, Ye Qiuling knew the potion's flaw: it retained the memories each time.

The reports submitted were mostly half-true and half-false.

Although she remained on the periphery of the research institute, Ye Qiuling's ability to collect information was no joke. In three years, she roughly figured out what the two PhDs were doing.

It's just that it's rather surprising.

Human experimentation has reached a considerable scale so early on.

Number 10 was raised by two PhDs using a nutrient solution.

His brain has been repeatedly developed and he has had chips implanted, which is why he has such a high IQ at such a young age and can create many amazing things.

Interstellar had actually used chips before, but humans are complex creatures. After experimenting for a while, they found that many people stopped thinking about it, so they canceled the chip planting policy.

Chip planting has both advantages and disadvantages, but it's a powerful tool for people who enjoy thinking about problems.

So those two doctors were afraid that if Number Ten became too knowledgeable and powerful, she would escape control and seek revenge. Therefore, they brainwashed and hypnotized her from a young age, turning her into a machine that only knew how to conduct experiments.

Chips are a hassle, but thankfully, they're not chips that explode on their own; they only store knowledge and don't explode automatically once they leave the research institute.

According to her investigation.

Many people at the research institute have been implanted with chips that will cause them to explode if they leave.

So no one dared to run out.

She was also implanted with this chip.

Thinking of this, Ye Qiuling's expression darkened, and she gently comforted Number Ten with pursed lips:

"It's alright, he'll recover once Xiao Shi leaves here."

"Yeah."

Number 10 lowered her head slightly, letting Ye Qiuling comb her hair, like a doll being manipulated.

"Yes, then no one will be able to lock you up, you will be free."

The seed of doubt planted three years ago has finally blossomed, and Number 10 has learned to ask for help in his own way.

Ye Qiuling also constantly provided guidance and support to her from the side.

"Will you come with me to see the flowers and the sea? And the fireflies you mentioned?"

Number 10 blinked, looking bewildered, and tilted his head.

Oh my god, so cute!

Despite her calm demeanor, Ye Qiuling inwardly screamed.

Then, her sleeve was tugged, and Number Ten said softly, "Qiuqiu, answer me."

After realizing what was happening, Ye Qiuling gave a soft "hmm".

Stroking her soft black hair, he rested his chin against her neck, the necklace around her neck dangling down. She whispered, "Yes, I will. I'll go with you sometime, and I'll take you to see my favorite sunflowers and the roses you're curious about."

There was no answer. Number Ten's attention was drawn to a black necklace shaped like a small tiger's head. He pulled on the necklace, looked up at Ye Qiuling, and asked, "What is this?"

"A necklace made from a very precious stone."

Ye Qiuling looked at the necklace, which was a gift from Xia Shizhao to Xiaohu, and she immediately took it.

She just didn't expect it to come here with her, so she simply wore it around her neck. However, she was very careful and no one noticed.

Number Ten looked at the stone for a while, his eyes flickered slightly, and then his gaze shifted to Ye Qiuling's face: "You've already made the arrangements?"

"It'll be soon. In three days, when you and the doctor go out, tell them to come back and find your things. From now on, rely on me. No matter what happens, just keep heading out."

After giving the instructions, Ye Qiuling paused and then said, "You've learned everything I taught you, right?"

"Uh-huh."

Number 10 nodded, "I don't go looking for good people to help when I'm in trouble."

"He's not a good person, he's a policeman."

"oh."

Seeing her like this, Ye Qiuling was a little worried, but she was helpless because she couldn't leave this place; the research institute was completely isolated from the outside world.

So she has no contact with the outside world, but according to the descriptions of Number Ten each time she goes out and comes back.

It looks normal; there shouldn't be any danger.

Moreover, Number Ten learned the self-defense techniques very well, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

Ruffled the fluffy head and hugged Number Ten with a smile.

So cute! How come they've become so stubborn now that they're all grown up?

"From now on, live a happy and fulfilling life."

Ye Qiuling's blessing to her.

Number 10 tilted his head, seemingly a little confused, but still nodded earnestly.

Then, mimicking Ye Qiuling's actions, he reached out, patted her head, and hugged her.

The series of actions made Ye Qiuling's heart flutter. "Alright, sister, go ahead and get busy. You stay in the research lab."

"Um."

Obediently watching the person leave, Number Ten looked at the stone he bought at the auction in the corner of the room, walked over and touched it.

It seems that this stone looks like the stone around Qiuqiu's neck.

She stood there in a daze. This was a gift from the professor, because for a while she was collecting all sorts of strange and unusual stones.

I don't know why I stopped saving it later.
