Chapter 313 Deep Virtual Reality 141
It's very tempting.
Zhan Lin felt a shameful stirring in her heart; everyone has ambition, and she was no exception.
She has always sought thrills and constantly pushed her limits. The sudden return to comfort, though for the sake of survival, must have been incredibly frustrating.
“Perhaps, there’s another bargaining chip.” Zhan Lin took out a pen-like object from a small opening inside her clothes. “This belongs to Professor Lillian; I think it might be useful.”
She had just remembered this thing. Professor Lillian's body was next to her when she accidentally saw the dropped data storage device and picked it up on a whim.
"I just don't know how to use this." She tried the usual methods, but couldn't open it.
“This requires biometric authentication,” Annika said, but Professor Lillian was already dead at the bottom. “However, if we go back, I can crack it.”
"I can't hand this in yet, I'll save it first." Xie Ning took the data storage device from Zhan Lin.
Annika glanced at 208 furtively, then hesitated before asking, "Should we take 208 back with us? What should we say if they ask us how we controlled 208?"
"It goes back, but not like it is now."
ah?
The two were somewhat confused, and then they watched 208's body get smaller and smaller. When they saw 208 turn into a small octopus with slender tentacles, the two were so shocked that their mouths could fit eggs.
"What...what!?"
Can this thing shrink?
"208." Xie Ning called out, and then the little octopus excitedly shook its tentacles, moved its legs to Xie Ning's cheek, and rubbed against him affectionately.
Xie Ning caught the miniature octopus in his palm. This little octopus would fall over with the slightest touch, swaying and tilting.
Annika was somewhat disillusioned. Who would have thought? She had just seen those 208 huge bodies covering the dark green monster, devouring it bite by bite. The strange chewing sounds made her scalp tingle.
Now it has turned into this light blue, transparent little octopus. It's so cute and adorable, just like the glass art piece she bought in the store.
Annika closed her eyes tightly and silently prayed that this must be a dream.
Zhan Lin closed her jaw and asked, "Is this the newly evolved ability of Number 208?"
"Yes." Zhan Lin was more perceptive because No. 208 couldn't shrink to such a small size before; she could only make her body larger.
Otherwise, Professor Lillian wouldn't have left 208 on the ship for Nightshade to carry.
The mutation must have occurred after she devoured that giant alien creature, but Number 208's vocabulary is limited right now, and she needs to go back to training.
The little octopus rubbed against Xie Ning's fingertips, then wrapped itself around her wrist.
The problem with No. 208 has been resolved; we can just say we don't know where it went. However, the interrogation is still an issue; they have too many things to hide.
She had dealt with lie detectors before and had some experience, so she could use her words to deceive them. But if it was an awakened person, she didn't know what their special ability was like, and Xie Ning was a little worried.
“Sigh—” Zhan Lin sighed, “There’s nothing we can do about it. After all, it’s hard for an ordinary person to compare with an Awakened one’s mental strength. We can only try to avoid interrogation.”
Mental strength?
Xie Ning's eyes lit up. "I have an idea!"
Before they could even speak, a strange buzzing sound came from above, as if something had passed through the clouds and appeared above them.
The group looked up and their faces lit up with joy. It was a helicopter. They were too far from the mainland to return alone, so they had to rely on support.
Zhan Lin was also thinking that if the support Dr. Ji had called for via location hadn't arrived yet, she would send her location back to the Security Bureau and ask them to send more support.
