Chapter 110: Human-species Fusion Research Experiment
"February 16th, sunny.
I met the experimental subject I was responsible for. She looked very small, and the uniform hospital gown looked very loose on her. She would be handed over to me for responsibility from now on. This was my first time to carry out a project independently, and my boss had high expectations of me.
Will I be able to do a good job on this project? I don’t know, but I’m going to try my best.”
"February 19th, cloudy.
I took the experimental subject out to play. Her living habits were not very good. Before leaving, I got the opportunity to cut her nails in exchange for a piece of candy, and also washed her face and tied her hair.
She seemed very happy and didn't mind me touching her, which was different from what my colleagues said. They said she was irritable and difficult to communicate with, and that they could only get close to her with the help of tranquilizers. But she was very friendly to me and her smile was also very cute.
Next time, bring her a picture book as a gift."
"March 15th, sunny.
After several experiments, Subject No. 35's body needed to recover, and she was a little depressed. I told her that this was the only way to success. Her data was very good, and she would become a very powerful hybrid in the future. I promised not to let her feel any pain. She told me that she once had a name, Fu Fu.
It’s a cute name, but I’m a little sad about it.”
"March 23rd, sunny
Fufu told me she was in pain, and I didn't know how to comfort her. The experiment next door had failed, and Momo had seen it. How should I tell her that if it failed, this would be her fate, too? For the first time, I began to question my own actions. Wasn't I creating a stronger human race for the future? Why would I cause this child so much pain?
She told me she would stick with it.
Maybe this relationship will last for a long time.”
…
On the white sheets, a man in a shirt lay quietly on his back with his eyes wide open.
Blood gushed out from his neck, staining the bed sheets. His pupils were dilated and he stared blankly at the ceiling. He was obviously dead.
Rong Le paced around the room, a typical single male residence, not much stuff in it and not too messy.
His research manuscripts are piled on his desk. They are not confidential, but even the abandoned and embryonic plans can give us a glimpse into the direction of his research.
Among them, a notebook was mixed in and was not conspicuous at all, but Rong Le picked it out and opened it to read.
The days before were just random thoughts about work and some meaningless content, until a turning point appeared on a certain date. He received an experimental subject, and the records about her gradually increased.
It can be seen from the diary that the researcher gradually developed sympathy for the experimental subjects.
He had a bright future. He was able to take over projects independently at a young age, and his ideas about experiments were also very good. Logically, he should not have died silently at home, but that is what happened.
Rong Le did not feel guilty about breaking into a private house. He could tell from the details in the room that this room was probably the scene of the murder.
The murderer's purpose is still unclear, but there is definitely a hidden story.
Rong Le has sent people to secretly keep an eye on this researcher for a long time. This researcher belongs to the underground laboratory of the Special Office. Senior researchers have the right to enter and exit freely, and there are people monitoring the area around where they live.
This person was originally his intelligence breakthrough against the underground laboratory, but now he suddenly died.
After he learned about this, he rushed to the scene immediately without alerting others, and chose to investigate the first-hand clues that had not been concealed at the scene.
"There were no signs of a struggle on the part of the deceased, and no signs of damage to the doors or windows. No one had been seen entering or leaving his home since he was last seen."
"The wound looks like it was caused by a sharp weapon. It doesn't look like something a human could do. But who would choose to kill him? Would it benefit the murderer?"
Rong Le pondered for a moment, walked to the bedside and stared at the researcher, then decided to use inspiration to connect with the soul of the deceased.
"Let me see your memories."
He closed his eyes and his consciousness gradually extended out.
The researcher's recollections were calm, perhaps due to the fact that he did not suffer much pain before his death. Memory fragments flowed through his mind like flowing water and played like a slideshow.
"We came here for our ideals, for the future of this region, for peace and stability. We will give everything for this great project, even if it means sacrificing our lives."
In the cold conference room of the laboratory, researchers gathered together to listen to the director's speech.
"We all have the same ideal. To achieve our ideal, no matter how much it costs, it is necessary!"
"Let us work together to create a stronger human being."
The scene changed and turned into the researcher's manual in his hand.
Unlike the ordinary notes Rong Le got, this one contained the core content. The pictures flipped through quickly, and he tried hard to see the content clearly. Finally, he could see the words "bloodline diagnosis report" and "top secret document".
What followed was day after day of work in the cold underground laboratory without sunlight. Some of the experimental subjects were humans who met the standards, while others were alien species obtained from various channels.
They repeated the process of extracting foreign genes into the human body, from limb transplantation in the beginning to organ transplantation later. The reasons for failure were different. The repeated failures made people numb, and they would then develop new ideas.
In such an environment, the experimenters became like demons.
These things flashed through his memory at different speeds, until the date in his notebook came when he took over the project independently, and time suddenly began to slow down to a relatively normal speed.
Perhaps in the researcher's recollection, the memories related to that experimental subject are slow and precious.
"From today on, I am your researcher, Experiment No. 35."
He said to the little girl on the bed.
The two did not get along very well at the beginning. The researcher was a rookie and had no experience in getting along with children, but through various actions, he managed to gain the friendship of the experimental subject.
He helped her tie her hair, told her stories, gave her toys, encouraged her to complete the experiment, and told her that she would become a very powerful person in the future.
He gained Fu Fu's trust, began to doubt himself, and questioned everything the laboratory did.
But once the project is launched, there is no room for retreat. It is almost impossible for him to withdraw and protect Fu Fu.
Their relationship lasted for more than half a year.
Until the laboratory makes a breakthrough and Fu Fu's data matches the alien species, she will become a new hybrid without any flaws, and the researcher who fully participates in the process will be the main researcher of the next plan.
"You will create more of your kind, right?" Fu Fu asked.
The researchers wondered how to restrict the movements of the new hybrids, who had no flaws, after the surgery was completed.
As someone who has been with Fu Fu for a long time, he knows Fu Fu's way of thinking very well.
"If so, are you going to kill me?"
He looked at Fufu's silence and said calmly, "Sure, I'm tired of creating these new hybrids."
"I can't escape the control of the laboratory. If I continue, more people like Fufu will be changed. If there are more hybrids like this, what will become of this area?"
At this point, his ideals and reality are at odds with each other, and he can't turn back.
But Fu Fu is different. He will help her break free from control and gain freedom.
Fu Fu is very obedient. She will be his final work. She will follow his instructions and put an end to all the evil.
They made a pact: "If you succeed, you must come and kill me."
Then he personally sent her to the operating table.
As expected, the experiment was successful, and the institute happily gave him a vacation. He gained a brief period of freedom and returned home.
Fu Fu's ability is to become invisible, blending herself into the surrounding environment, similar to a chameleon. This is somewhat similar to Sheng Mao's concealment, but the difference is that she can transform the physical body into the virtual body.
In other words, she can appear anywhere.
When the researcher got up from bed on the last day of vacation, got dressed and prepared to go out, the girl who was supposed to be guarding him in the laboratory suddenly appeared in front of him and killed him cleanly.
At the end of the field of vision, the researcher fell weakly on the bed, and the girl's calm expression was reflected in his eyes.
She came to fulfill her promise.
…
Rong Le regained consciousness and opened her eyes. The hairs on her back stood up at this moment.
If the prisoner can be blamed for her own existence, then who can guarantee... that she is not in this room at this moment?
The humanoid weapons they created were kept underground for years, ignorant of worldly affairs and possessing bizarre thinking. After Yi Yan killed the researcher, she also lost the source of her commands.
Who can guarantee what she will do after this?
Rong Le's pupils shrank slightly.
Behind him, at some point, a cold breath touched his ear.
The young girl said softly, "Who are you?"
At this moment he knew her identity, Fu Fu.
She did not leave. After killing the researcher, she stayed here, quietly watching strangers walk into the room and try to investigate the cause of the researcher's death.
"I mean no harm."
Rong Le did not move. The constant warning of danger told him that if he was not careful, he would be attacked:
"I just want to get some information about the laboratory from here. My friend is planning to attack the laboratory, and I also want to make it disappear."
"Disappear?" Fufu repeated, "You can't do that."
"Maybe, but as long as there's a glimmer of hope, we'll do it. This isn't something someone can give up just because they back down."
Rong Le answered calmly.
“…”
Fu Fu fell into deep thought.
This person's words made her think. Although the researcher was dead, what he told Fu Fu was still being implemented effectively.
"Fufu, protect yourself. If you encounter someone trying to hurt you, run away. If you can't escape, kill them."
"You are the most precious thing, both physically and mentally. Always put your own will first."
"I'm sorry I can't go on with you. If there's something you want to do, go for it. If you meet someone you can trust, try to trust them. I hope your life will have more possibilities."
The young man in front of her said he wanted to deal with the laboratory. Fu Fu was very interested because the laboratory was the place that caused the tragedy in their lives.
But she couldn't do it alone, and if she did she would definitely get hurt or even die.
The researcher also said to protect yourself.
But if you meet someone you can trust, will everything be different?
She thought for a moment and whispered, "What are you going to do? If possible, can I join in?"
"...Generally speaking, I rarely allow minors to participate in my programs."
Rong Le paused: "But there's nothing wrong with you."
Fu Fu laughed, and the cold breath disappeared from his ears. The next moment, a delicate hand gently pulled his sleeve.
"I'll be useful, trust me."
Rong Le slowly turned around and saw Fu Fu's appearance clearly.
The little girl looked only eight or nine years old. She was very cute and weak without any sign of anger. She was holding a teddy bear in her arms, wearing a white long dress, and walking barefoot on the floor.
An idea suddenly flashed through his mind.
Looks like I have to raise another child.
The black-haired, green-eyed young man sighed resignedly, bent over and squatted on the ground, picked her up, and let her sit in his arms.
If I let Fu Fu wander around like this, I don’t know what will become of her. Such a young child, it’s better to keep her by my side to feel at ease.
She followed orders and killed the researcher, and from then on, she was the only one left in this world.
"In that case, then follow me."
He said gently, "This time, I won't leave you alone."
…
After many twists and turns, Rong Le's plan was developing in a good direction.
Fu Fu is indeed a new hybrid. She most likely does not need keywords and does not have the mental problems of alien species.
Of course, this is just an experimental prediction. Whether it can be confirmed to be successful requires data support from more experimental subjects, or waiting for Fu Fu to grow up.
More importantly, Fu Fu's ability can not only be used for herself, but also to help others share her abilities, as long as physical contact with the other person is ensured.
So Rong Le came up with a bolder plan.
"You're saying you're planning to sneak into the Special Office's underground laboratory alone to investigate internal intelligence. Do you know that this means you'll never return?"
Baiyue's disapproving voice came from the other side of the phone.
“But it’s doable.”
Rong Le sat on the sofa in the living room, while Fu Fu looked around curiously:
"The child I brought back is very familiar with the lab and can lead me in. We can hide inside without anyone noticing. Once the Heavenly Kingdom Church attacks the lab, their counterattack will begin to crumble from within."
Baiyue: "How noble, Rong Le, I have gotten to know you all over again."
Rong Le laughed. "Don't mock me. Their success will only benefit us. I will find Dragonfly, destroy the confidential project documents, and put an end to this cruel experiment. That's my mission."
"Don't worry. Although it's dangerous, I have people around me to protect me. Don't forget that Jones is still in contact with the half-bloods. If that happens, the Special Office will definitely be in chaos."
Rong Le said, "So don't worry about me."
Baiyue didn't say anything. They all knew that things were far from as simple as Rong Le said.
It is almost impossible to fight without any sacrifices this time. If Rong Le wants to pass the module, she must achieve that incredible result.
He whispered, "Of course I can't stop you. I'll wait for you to come back here, Rong Le."
Rong Le's heart moved slightly.
Before he could think carefully about the implied meaning of Baiyue's words, there was a knock on the door.
Rong Le hung up the phone and got up to open the door. Outside the door was Gong Hua, whom she hadn't seen for a few days.
After starting to cooperate with Gong Ling, Baiyue gave her a lot of support both openly and secretly. As the person who was pushed to the top, Gong Hua was no longer idle as before, and the matters that needed him to handle gradually increased.
He must grow quickly to be qualified to hold that position.
Otherwise, no amount of support will be of any use.
There was a bit more calmness between Gong Hua's brows, and her temperament also changed. She seemed to have awakened and matured rapidly. However, when she looked at Rong Le, she still revealed some of her previous youthful spirit.
"I was worried you weren't home, but now it seems I don't need to make another trip."
He said in a light tone.
Rong Le stepped aside to let him in. Gong Hua was already familiar with this place. "Why did you come to see me? You must be very busy lately."
Gong Hua: "Indeed, it wasn't until Mother began handing over the responsibilities to me bit by bit that I realized there were so many things waiting to be handled at home. Now that I think about it, Mother really protected me very well."
Rong Le: "The Mother Goddess's clan has been able to survive in this area for so many years, relying not only on the longevity of the inheritance, but now is just the beginning, and there will be more things for you to do in the future."
Gong Hua lowered her eyes, trying to hide the trace of fatigue in them: "To be honest, even at the beginning, I already felt a little uncomfortable. But for the hard work and efforts of my mother, I have to persevere."
He walked into the living room and sat on the sofa. Next to him was Fu Fu, who was curious about the stranger and poked her head out from behind the sofa.
Gong Hua sighed when she saw this strange little alien.
He muttered, trusting the black-haired, green-eyed young man in front of him with all his heart, and confided his true feelings to him:
"I didn't dare tell my mother, but I kept doubting myself in my heart. Could I really do it? Am I really qualified to be the head of the Mother Goddess's family and lead them to continue their legacy?"
Rong Le didn't expect that Gong Hua came here just to say this, but then she thought, Gong Hua is still a young person after all, and has just become an adult not long ago.
Before this, he had been growing up freely under the protection of his mother and had never experienced setbacks or the beatings of reality.
That's why after taking on a lot of tasks, you will feel self-doubt.
"Whether you are qualified or not, no one else's opinion counts."
The gentle and graceful professor came online again, imparting experience to the confused students: "If you doubt yourself, then work hard to do what you should do, and then let yourself judge in a few years."
"Only your future self is qualified to judge yourself."
"Wow, the spiritual mentor is online again."
"Although Rongrong's love is shared among everyone, he is really gentle."
"That's right, he really is giving serious advice."
"Does he really not understand love, or is it because he is too gentle that he cannot accept any harm and rejects everyone?"
"No matter who it is, if I see someone, I will definitely save them. Even an unattended child will be picked up and taken home. If anyone says he is cold-hearted, I will be really angry!"
Obviously, Gong Hua listened to it.
He laughed at himself, probably because he felt it was a bit embarrassing to come to Rong Le for such a thing, but he finally recovered his spirits because of Rong Le's words.
He glanced at Fu Fu beside him, then turned to Rong Le and said, "Where did you pick up this child again? Is this a skill that is bound to be triggered? Why do I feel like you've done this many times? Is it my imagination?"
Of course it wasn't his illusion. It should be said that Gong Hua had a very sharp intuition and her comments were very accurate.
Rong Le thought about her previous behavior and found that she seemed to pick up people often. She couldn't help but coughed: "It's your illusion."
Gong Hua gave him a doubtful look: "So, who is this?"
There was already enough competition for Rong Le's attention with just one Yang Cheng, so he didn't want a few more people.
"She's a new experimental subject in the Special Office's underground laboratory. There was no one to look after her, so I brought her back."
Rong Le gently touched Fu Fu's head.
Fu Fu spoke very little. After Gong Hua came in, she kept staring at him without saying a word. After being patted on the head, she diverted her attention and moved closer to Rong Le.
Gong Hua said "Oh", then realized: "Are you planning to get involved in this matter?!"
Anyone who pays attention will naturally understand the movements of the Heavenly Kingdom Church, but most alien species are taking a wait-and-see attitude and have no intention of getting involved.
Gong Hua didn't expect Rong Le to get involved in this mess.
"I came here for a purpose, so I have to participate and make things go the way I want them to."
Rong Le looked at him with a smile: "So don't persuade me."
Gong Hua shut up with a dark face.
He resigned himself to the fact that he would probably never be able to handle Rong Le, otherwise he wouldn't be so anxious about Rong Le's decision.
He pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Since we both have our own things to do soon, let's hug each other before we say goodbye. I..."
Rong Le hugged him as she was told. The light breath entered Gong Hua's nostrils, and the back of her neck was gently stroked, bringing her a calming comfort.
He wanted to say that he would not be like Yang Cheng, always making Rong Le worry.
But Gong Hua was speechless at this moment. He indulged in the gentle caress and enjoyed a moment of peace.
Unlike previous comforts, this time it was not intense and there was no verbal provocation. It was like the greeting every morning when I woke up, plain but happy.
He finally got the comfort he wanted without having to ask Rong Le for it.
Gong Hua: "I will work hard to inherit the family business and will not let you down."
In his ear, Rong Le chuckled softly, "I'll wait for that day, Gong Hua."
The heirs of the Mother Goddess's clan who have not yet fully grown up will also learn to bow their heads in the face of the pressure of reality. Their rebellious attitude will always be worn away, and replaced by a more stable and colder adult head of the family.
He will gradually become indestructible, and even power cannot break through his heart.
But he took advantage of the time when Gong Hua still had some weaknesses and left an invisible collar around his neck.
Even if it is false submission, it will one day become real, and the beast will become a sheep, revealing its harmless side in his arms.
Gong Hua finally understood what true patience was.
Only by restraining your desires, suppressing your strength, and protecting precious and fragile things can you obtain your own happiness.
[You have obtained your personal CG——]
「Palace Flower·Heavenly Love Line·Lies Come True」
"A lie told ten thousand times becomes the truth, and countless times of tolerance turns it into a real shackle."
...He finally surrendered to Rong Le.
