Shen Jiao was dumbfounded.
The thought of replacing lab rats with humans is unbearable.
Gu An seemed to have anticipated Shen Jiao's expression and signaled to her not to be afraid.
He grabbed another handful of sunflower seeds and started cracking them open. "Speaking of which, this all happened more than ten years ago. Back then, several major powers were plagued by internal and external troubles, and war was commonplace. It was all quite chaotic. In the southern border region, there was a group of alchemists who had gone insane from practicing medicine. They were greedy, and the medicines they tested on mice showed very different results when used on living people. In pursuit of so-called accuracy and perfection, they gradually extended their clutches to refugees or deserters fleeing from various countries."
"Then, will any of the people who participated in the drug trials survive?" Shen Jiao suddenly remembered something, her gaze turning wistful.
"Probably not."
Gu An thought for a moment and then said, "I heard my father say that back then, human life was even less valuable. There were many people and little food, and people were poor. If a family had many children, they couldn't afford to raise them all. So, they would pick a few children from their families and sell them to alchemists as test subjects. Some people even had children specifically to sell in order to make this kind of ill-gotten gain. In short, it was quite disgusting."
Shen Jiao felt that her worldview had been dealt a critical blow.
Gu An: "The people we bought were treated as commodities by the alchemists. They were only focused on making medicine, so how could they care about the life or death of the test subjects? As more and more people died, they dug a pit to bury the corpses. The corpses smelled bad, so they planted flowers on the surface to cover it up."
At this point, Shen Jiao suddenly noticed that Gu Xiaoyou's tone was a little off; his breathing seemed very rapid.
She couldn't see Gu An clearly, so she could only anxiously ask, "Gu An? What's wrong? Are you alright? If you're alright, please grin at me!"
"I didn't... vomit." Gu An had just opened his mouth when he vomited uncontrollably.
"Gu An?"
"I...vomit."
This appearance is probably very similar to when he was unconscious.
The only difference is that the reaction is even more intense.
Gu An vomited violently, curling up on the roof, causing tiles to fall to the ground with a clatter, waking the shopkeeper and causing lights to immediately illuminate several rooms.
Shen Jiao then noticed Gu An, who had collapsed into a puddle of mud, his face pale and his forehead covered in cold sweat the size of soybeans.
Her expression froze.
I strongly suspect that the sunflower seeds she just bought might have gone moldy.
Voices gradually began to emerge.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? What happened?"
"It looks like a tile fell off one of the rooms? Holy crap? It's my house! Shopkeeper!"
"Who the hell is yelling like that in the middle of the night? Looking for a beating?"
Shen Jiao tried to get Gu An back to her room, but as soon as she touched Gu An, Gu An started flaring up wildly, shaking like a leaf and constantly shrinking back.
He seemed very afraid of her getting close.
As Gu An shrank back, the tiles beneath him slid off with a clatter and crashed onto the stone slabs of the courtyard.
Shen Jiao: "..."
I don't know when it started, but she has joined the tyrant's demolition team?
In the end, Shen Jiao and Gu An were separated by a large pit, with only the roof beams remaining.
At the bottom of the pit was a pretentious man taking a bath with flower petals.
The moment their eyes met, the man crossed his arms and yelled in a shrill voice, "Help! You're being a pervert!"
Shen Jiao: "...No, I didn't, it's a misunderstanding."
The man extended his delicate finger and said, "Pah! A woman's mouth is a deceitful devil."
Shen Jiao declared righteously, "I swear to God, I would never act like this towards you, even towards a handsome pig!"
The man screamed again: "Help! If I can't have it, I'll destroy it! This is an insult to my character!"
At the same time, a bone-chilling cold swept over us, followed by a ghostly black shadow appearing on the roof.
Ji Yan kicked the few remaining tiles with the tip of her shoe, smashing them all onto the bathtub.
The effeminate man was so terrified by the brutal scene that he fainted on the spot.
Ji Yan stretched out her hand, "Come here."
Shen Jiao excitedly jumped into his arms.
Perhaps seeing a tyrant was like seeing a pillar of support; her tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and she lost her footing, falling straight down.
But it didn't fall completely.
She was stuck between two pieces of wood from the roof.
Shen Jiao almost burst into tears: "Your Majesty... help, my chest is stuck."
Ji Yan: "..."
Over here, Gu Antu couldn't tell which way was which. He staggered as he tried to get up, but accidentally slipped and joined Shen Jiao's team of people grabbing his chest.
However, the position he used was slightly different.
Gu An felt wronged. He dared not ask the tyrant for help, so he could only cry out, "Guanyin Bodhisattva, save me... my butt is stuck."
Ji Yan: "..."
Why is this silly child even asking Guanyin Bodhisattva for help? Shen Jiao couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Ji Yan: "..."
Then--
Shen Jiao saw the tyrant's gaze shift from caring for the depressed girl Ye Laifei to focusing on the mentally challenged child.
Shen Jiao closed her eyes, pretending to sleepwalk: This was all an accident.
My advice for life: Don't get depressed, whether you have something to do or not.
Especially—
Don't get depressed on the roof.
...
Gu An was thrown to Liang Heng by the tyrant like a whip.
Ji Yan turned to leave, but noticed that the ruffled hamster hadn't followed. Her eyes darkened. "Why aren't you leaving?"
Shen Jiao felt very guilty: "Let me wait a bit, in case Gu An gets food poisoning from eating my melon seeds."
Ji Yan turned back and took her hand: "You've eaten too."
Therefore, this cannot be food poisoning.
Shen Jiao nodded vigorously, like a chicken pecking at rice, and exclaimed, "Yes, when you think about it, my stomach is quite indestructible."
