Some have dull eyes, as if they have lost their souls.

Others just closed their eyes, looking as if they had seen through life and death.

“…”

There were also many corpses on the ground. Some had already rotted, while others were still warm, obviously having died not long ago.

Soon, Qiao Yuan narrowed his eyes and focused his gaze on the deepest part.

That irregular elliptical sphere wrapped in a light curtain.

There seems to be something hidden in it.

It seems alive.

“…”

…

"Newcomer, stop looking. You can't leave here. If I were you, I would commit suicide immediately!"

"See that guy at your feet? He just died... still warm."

"Although he is dead, he is free and will be able to breathe fresh air in his next life."

Following the voice, Qiao Yuan found an awakened person with green flower buds on his head talking to him.

Qiao Yuan: "What do you mean?"

"There are a few more things. If I don't want to be tortured like them, the best thing to do is to commit suicide and become food."

The awakened one with green buds on his head looked gloating, in stark contrast to the terrified crowd around him.

"This is a breeding ground in the laboratory. Do you see the flowers above each of our heads? When they bloom, we will die."

Qiao Yuan: "Will it suck you dry?"

"That won't happen, but something worse than death will happen!"

"Did you see that sphere of light? Inside it are the souls of the experimenters, crying out for food and trying to occupy the bodies of the awakened!"

“…”

In the distance, in a sphere suspended in the sky, countless ferocious faces were roaring and screaming.

They can't wait to be born!

…

"Every experimenter who joins the laboratory has their soul backed up. When the time is right, the soul will choose a suitable carrier, replace everything we have, and then leave here."

"No detection capabilities can detect it unless you expose yourself."

“…”

It was indeed a bit scary, and Qiao Yuan already understood it completely in his heart.

This is why the Awakened rebelled!

They are not rebels at all, but an alternative form of experimenters who take the initiative.

This laboratory is truly like a wildfire that cannot be extinguished, and it will spring up again with the spring breeze.

Since they can't defeat the Security Bureau openly, they are using these shady tactics. In time, they may be able to replace the Security Bureau.

but……

"You don't look afraid?" Qiao Yuan was a little confused.

"Waste will not be given priority." The awakened one with the green flower bud on his head showed a strange smile.

"Here, everyone is a well-known master. In terms of strength, I'm at the bottom. In terms of ability, I have none. In terms of mentality, I'm as timid as a mouse. In terms of brains, I'm notoriously brainless... In short, no matter what we compare, I'm always the lowest scum!"

"If you were one of those souls, would you choose someone like me?"

“…”

…

Qiao Yuan: “…”

What you said makes so much sense that I am speechless.

This awakened person with green buds on his head has a very tricky perspective on things.

But let me be honest.

Survival of the fittest.

If I were a soul body, I would never choose such trash, but would choose the strongest one.

…

"The time has come again, those souls are starting to choose bodies!"

"Damn it! My spiritual energy, including my special abilities, is being held captive by that thing above my head. I can't move at all!"

"I won't give up!"

"Stop arguing. There's only one way now. Gather all of our remaining spiritual energy and let that seventh-rank senior escape. My ability is to temporarily transfer everyone's power to a designated awakener!"

"Add me. I can talk to the soul. With me here, the seventh-level senior's true personality will have a high probability of awakening!"

"And me, I tried my best, I can..."

"Fuck him!"

“…”

The deepest part of the valley.

Surrounded by many flower buds in the middle.

Under the roots of an extremely large flower bud, which is almost dozens of times larger than the surrounding ones, is an awakened person wearing a patrolman's uniform.

It is not difficult to see from the fluctuations emanating from his body that he, like Ma Jun, is a seventh-level awakener.

Dozens of awakened people of different colors around him began to work together to supply him with the last bit of strength, attempting to awaken the seventh-level senior.

“…”

…

"It might have been useful earlier, but now... it's a waste of effort!" The Green Bud Awakener curled his lips.

He did not look favorably upon this waste of energy.

Instead of wasting time on this energy, it would be better to spend some time to reduce the time it takes for the buds to bloom and survive for a while.

The blooming of the flower buds on the head means that the time is ripe. The soul of the experimenter in the sphere will appear to choose a suitable host and take the initiative.

It can be understood as split personality!

The experimenter occupies the main personality, while the original personality is suppressed in the corner.

Everything was going well!

Even the seventh-level awakener encountered the strange flower implant. Unfortunately, this thing seems to be in the experimental stage and is not stable.

The original consciousness of the seventh-level awakener would appear from time to time.

Last time, the experimenter personality had intended to secretly find out the weaknesses of several responsible persons, but who would have thought that at the critical moment, the original personality would appear. Although it was only for a moment, it caused the mission to fail, and he escaped back here.

Since the personality created by one experimenter's soul body cannot suppress the seventh-level body, then two... three...

You can even die from exhaustion!

It can definitely reduce the probability and duration of the original personality appearing infinitely!

“…”

The people around gave up on prolonging the blooming time of the buds and chose to send their last bit of strength into the body of the seventh-level awakener.

Ability activated.

Soul dialogue!

The awakened one with a painful expression finally found the original personality of the seventh-level awakened one imprisoned in the corner in his consciousness.

The next moment, he roared at the top of his lungs.

"Wake up, my senior!!!!!"

I was finally discharged from the hospital today and slowly resumed my previous speed. I promise to keep updating.
