Chapter 653 Climbing Up
Tick-tock——
Tick-tock——
When Li Muhan opened his eyes again, he found himself tied to a chair.
It was as if all the strength in him had disappeared, and he couldn't even break free from these leather restraints.
In front of him, Qu Ran was standing with her back to him, seemingly busy with something. In front of her were some instruments, with two culture dishes inside.
Yin Qi and Xia Yue were placed in the petri dish.
"Minister Qu..."
Li Muhan shook his head. He tried hard to awaken the power in his body, but found that as long as the ticking sound was there, he could not exert any strength at all.
"You, you woke up..."
Qu Ran turned around, his eyes looked very tired under his messy hair, and his dark circles were obviously much heavier.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry Li Muhan, I, I don't want to do this to you, but, but this, this is necessary. The cause and effect left by those sins back then, no, I can't continue to live in this world."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and operated the instrument.
"...Minister Qu, you were one of the victims of Mendarosa, right..."
"...I am not, I am not a victim, I am a sinner, I, I am sorry to everyone, I am sorry to everyone..."
Li Muhan saw Qu Ran's back trembling slightly.
"Minister Qu...it's not too late. Let me help you...I, I'm also one of those children from Mendarosa, I..."
"No, no, Li Muhan, you, you don't understand..."
Qu Ran turned around, holding a knife in his hand.
She walked to Li Muhan and slowly squatted down, then cut a knife on Li Muhan's arm and collected Li Muhan's blood in a test tube.
"You are not one of them....You are not any of us."
Qu Ran looked at Li Muhan nervously and smiled, then immediately acted like a child who had done something wrong.
"I'm sorry... I don't want this to happen. I'm sorry, but this is the only way..."
Trembling, she returned to the lab bench with the test tube and cut her arm again.
Let the blood mix with Li Muhan's blood, but unfortunately, the blood did not mix.
"It still doesn't work. I, I'm a defective product. I'm not qualified. I, I can't... I can't destroy you."
Qu Ran tugged at his hair, then looked up at Yin Qi.
"What do you want to do... Qu Ran..."
Li Muhan seemed to read something from her crazy eyes.
He began to struggle desperately, calling out to the demon within him, but the only response he got was a ticking sound.
"This, this is my realm, the power of my realm... Qingyin... It, it will not affect anyone else, but, yes, to the children of Mendarosa and the Cheshire Cat, I, I am your administrator. No matter how powerful you are, I, I can... I can temporarily suppress your power..."
"What about Xia Yue?"
Li Muhan asked while struggling.
"How did you imprison Xia Yue's power?"
"How do you know that Xia, Xia Yue's power has been restrained..." Qu Ran asked timidly.
"Nonsense! If her powers weren't restrained, would you have let her soak in formalin?!"
"No, it's not formaldehyde! I'm sorry... I spoke too loudly. That's a nutrient solution specially used for children... Yes, it's good for the body... Xia, Xia Yue's power wasn't imprisoned by me... I, I didn't mean to catch her..."
Li Muhan calmed himself down and looked at Qu Ran and said, "Minister Qu, you are no longer the same person you used to be. You have left Mendarosa and the Cheshire Cat. Remember, you are the head of the Intelligence Department of the Tianhai City Special Management Bureau, so..."
"No, that's not the case, Li Muhan. You don't understand. I, none of us can live. If we live, Professor, that devil, her plan will definitely come true... We, we can't live. None of us should exist..."
As she spoke, she operated the panel, and a needle suddenly extended from the culture dish and then pierced Yin Qi's arm. The sleeping girl frowned slightly, and the blood flowed through the needle into the test tube that Qu Ran had prepared long ago.
"Qu Ran... stop it, there's still time..."
Li Muhan requested.
"It's not too late, yes, it's not too late... So I will stop it all, I will clean up the Mendarosa legacy..."
Qu Ran carefully mixed Yin Qi's blood with Li Muhan's blood. Soon the blood began to boil, and then Yin Qi's blood and Li Muhan's blood evaporated at the same time, disappearing without a trace.
This result made Qu Ran excited.
"Yes, she is a successful experimental subject! I, I finally found her......!"
......
At the same time, Xia Yue opened her eyes in a daze and found herself tied to a restraint bed and being pushed into the laboratory by the woman.
“…Stop it.”
Xia Yue said, even though she was very clear that these were things that had already happened.
She was powerless to stop it, but she still tried to awaken the woman's last bit of conscience.
"You will all live, you will live in my daughter's body..."
The woman seemed to have not heard Xia Yue's voice at all.
It was only then that Xia Yue discovered that this dim laboratory was very simple, as if it had been temporarily built by a woman by piecing together some pieces.
But in this room were the bodies of four or five children lying in disorder.
Among them was the boy he had just seen in the mirror.
So who is Xia Yue now...
"Yin Qi... Yin Qi, don't be afraid. Mom will save you, she will save you..."
I...became that little girl...
"She wouldn't want to be saved this way..."
Xia Yue looked at the woman and said, but there was no consciousness in the woman's eyes.
She might have gone crazy...
"Yin Qi, you like these kittens, right? Mommy will let these kittens accompany you forever... You will never be lonely, never..."
The woman pushed Xia Yue to the side of the operating table.
"...I'm sorry, my child... Mom can only use this method to keep you alive. You must...you must forgive Mom..."
The moment the dazzling surgical light illuminated her pupils, Xia Yue felt dizzy and her head was swollen. She didn't know how much time had passed.
Only occasionally could you hear some noisy sounds coming from the corridor outside.
There were cries and screams until everything fell silent.
The operating room had already been completely changed.
The woman fell in the corner, holding the children in her arms. The children had their eyes closed lightly, as if they were asleep.
Xia Yue turned over and got out of bed. She knew that the woman was dead and the children were dead too... and now there was a monster outside, she had to leave here.
When she opened the door of the laboratory, she saw corpses and debris everywhere outside, and the smell of blood kept coming into her nostrils. This was the first time that Xia Yue felt that the smell of blood was so disgusting.
She covered her mouth and walked in the pool of blood with her slender feet.
Where to go, where to go...
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... You shouldn't exist in this world. I have to send you away... I'm sorry..."
A girl's whisper came from behind.
Xia Yue knew that something was coming.
At this moment, a pair of hands grabbed her wrist.
"Little fool, go this way!"
In front of her was a girl with two sharp little canine teeth.
The girl took Xia Yue's hand and led her through the long and narrow corridor, past countless corpses, and then brought her to the stairs.
"Let's go...you little idiot, don't be such a snoozer next time."
Xia Yue watched the girl stop and before she could say anything, she heard a terrible whisper and laughter behind her.
"Hahahaha... none of them can live, none of them can exist, hahahahaha..."
Then another hand grabbed Xia Yue, this time it was a slightly plump girl.
"Go, go, this way!"
The fat girl took Xia Yue downstairs and took a small path, allowing her to avoid some passages where facility guards were still stationed.
"Thank you for always giving me your beans...Little Black Cat."
The fat girl pushed her to a narrow ventilation hole and then looked at her with a smile.
"...Orange Cat Sister."
Xia Yue couldn't help but call out this name.
"Let's go... I'm too fat, I can't get through, hehe..."
The fat girl smiled and pushed Xia Yue again, so Xia Yue continued to go down into the passage.
The narrow and dark passage made Xia Yue feel infinite fear in her heart.
That fear didn't come from her, but from Yin Qi's.
At this moment, a faint light appeared in the darkness.
A gray-haired girl appeared in the tunnel. She stole a lighter from somewhere and then stuffed it into Xia Yue's hand.
"...Don't be afraid, let's go."
The girl smiled at Xia Yue.
Xia Yue sobbed as she crawled through the ventilation duct, but in the end, what appeared before her was a canned waste disposal plant piled with countless children's corpses.
If the monster hadn't attacked, these corpses would have been destroyed soon, but now, these corpses have piled up into a small hill, and above the hill is a hole for dumping garbage, and that hole leads to the ground.
"Let's go."
The boy took Xia Yue's hand and stepped on the corpses.
“I, I’m afraid…”
"Don't be afraid, we are with you."
Hands stretched out from among the corpses, holding up the girl's body, lifting her up and leading her towards freedom.
But to others, the girl was just climbing up alone with a strength that was disproportionate to her body.
Finally, she seemed exhausted, but still one step away from the exit.
The girl's hands stretched upwards, trembling.
Unfortunately, it was still a little short... just a little short... Her hand just touched the edge of the exit, and then she completely lost her strength, and her petite body fell backwards.
Falling towards the endless mountain of corpses and endless darkness.
