Chapter 150: "Lost Hometown" 5 Gene Induction

The speech finally arrived at a huge building, its exterior was made of a strange crystalline material and was ten stories high.

This height is unique in the Sky City. It is already in the sky. If it were higher, it would not be in the cloud layer.

Zhu Ci actually still had some doubts about this kind of place. Given the background of this copy, he would be at the mercy of others if he entered.

But twenty-four was right behind him.

"Miss Assistant, do you have anything else to say?"

It's like a reminder and also like a threat.

Zhu Ci shook his head. Even though he was completely exposed, this guy seemed to enjoy playing this kind of game openly and covertly. There was no harm in playing dumb for the time being.

"This really is Experimental Building No. 001. Am I really in?" Yu Chu couldn't help but screamed in excitement.

Congratulations: "..."

"Mr. Yu, your accommodation will be temporarily arranged on the ninth floor." Someone came over and reminded him.

Yu Chu looked at him in surprise: "Ninth floor, so high, can I really do it?"

"Yes."

"But are all the people here clones? Why do they all look the same?" Yu Chu complained.

Zhu Ci didn't dare to remove the effect of this skill.

"Your assistant will be assigned to the first floor." the man said.

"First floor? Why? No, he has to follow me." The speech was his proudest work now, and Yu Chu certainly didn't want to be separated from him.

"I'm sorry, but he is not one of the people who can receive the confidential information."

Yu Chu heard this and immediately accepted it because his self-esteem was satisfied: "That's right."

He remained silent in his speech, not because he couldn't say anything, but because he had nothing to say.

This is clearly a routine, a routine of inviting him in voluntarily and then separating him from the scientist.

Now Zhu Ci will be isolated and helpless. The only person who can talk to him and ask for information is this smiling young man. Even when Zhu Ci's identity will be revealed depends entirely on his mood.

Zhu Ci hadn't found any flaws along the way, and what's more, the thing he was looking for might be in this person's hands.

It was a completely passive situation that could not even be solved by fighting alone.

There was no way he could accept the current situation and Zhuci went to his room.

His room was a standard guest room with a dark blue glass window on the wall next to the bed.

Zhu Ci closed the door. The current situation was much better than he had imagined. He originally thought that his identity would be exposed as soon as he came in, and then he would be caught for research. That would require some effort and means. Now that no one was monitoring him, it was really the best.

Just as he finished thinking this, an electronic smile suddenly popped up on the dark blue glass window.

"Hello," it said.

"You can write on this board."

Zhu Ci looked at these words, wondering whether this was artificial intelligence or a real person.

He moved closer to the glass window and looked across. He could vaguely see the room opposite.

Suddenly, a pair of eyes suddenly jumped up and stared at Zhu Ci from a close distance.

Congratulations: "!"

He jumped out of bed with a frown on his face.

The smiling face popped up on the screen again.

"You're kind of cute, Miss Assistant."

Congratulations: "..."

There's something wrong.

"Miss Assistant, can you tell me your name now?"

Zhu Ci stepped forward again, stretched out his hand and wrote on the edge of the glass window, and each character was enlarged to the center of the screen.

"Wu Yan."

No words popped up on the screen for a long time.

Zhu Ci was about to leave when a message popped up above: "No, you mean you are speechless to me, right?"

This person is actually quite knowledgeable and interesting.

Zhu Ci didn't want to tell him his real name. It wouldn't matter if a dumb NPC knew it, but this one was too smart. If it was known, if other players ran into him, it would probably be troublesome.

"Can't you tell me?"

Of course I can’t tell you.

As Zhuci was thinking this, the door suddenly rang.

He opened the door helplessly.

Twenty-four stood at the door.

"Everyone has their own secrets, but since you asked for my name, I have to exchange them for something else."

The congratulatory message was written on the glass window: "You haven't said it yet."

"That's because I haven't found the paper yet."

Is paper hard to find?

Zhu Ci frowned, wrote down this sentence and asked.

Twenty-four nodded: "Of course it's hard to find. How can you be like a primitive man? With such advanced technology, who still uses paper? Not only does it need to be recycled, which is not environmentally friendly at all, but it also cannot be communicated at any time."

This is the reason. Has intelligence replaced paper documents? Then it seems that there is no need to think about what kind of material paper is made of. Zhu Ci thought.

"But don't worry, since you want to know my name so much, I will definitely find a way to give it to you. But I can't always call you Miss Assistant." Twenty-Four said with a smile.

This is a bit difficult, Zhuci thought.

"From your expression, I know you're trying to trick me again. How about this, I'll give you a name that only I can call you by."

Zhuci looked up in confusion.

"After all, everyone has their own secrets, and I can't force you." He smiled and took off the last layer of the speech.

Such a familiar line.

Zhu Ci certainly understood what he meant, but he had a question.

He was so face-blind that he could barely sense that the guy was smiling. How did he see his expression?

This was the question he had always wanted to ask. If Yu Chu had not previously proven that his skill could also conceal his appearance, he would have suspected that this skill would expose him alone.

The congratulatory speech raised this question.

"Maybe it's your temperament?" Twenty-four tilted his head and thought for a while, "You are simply a walking block of ice. If you really want to pretend, you might as well open your mouth and smile more."

Zhu Ci thought about it carefully for a second and felt that what he said made some sense.

"Then can I call you 'baby'?" Twenty-four looked expectant.

The congratulatory message consisted of one word: "Get lost."

"What a pity, you don't have a mouth now. I'm the one who calls anyway."

Zhushou: “…” Although he couldn’t understand the expression on the other person’s face, he was afraid that he was serious just by the sound of his voice. The key was that this guy was used to doing whatever he wanted. If he really called him that, he was afraid that he would have a hard time explaining himself after the game was over.

The congratulatory message reads: "Seventy-five."

"Huh? I won't adopt it unless you give me a good reason." He raised his eyebrows.

"24+75=99."

This appeased him, and Twenty-Four couldn't help laughing.

[“No, the host is just too good.”

"I'm going to report the anchor for flirting with people."

"Major cheating scene, host, do you know that your boyfriend is on his way to find you?"

"Le, as time goes by, the popularity of the anchor's live broadcast room has dropped sharply, but if they directly change the name of the live broadcast room to 'Fishing Master' it will be a sure kill."】

Zhu Ci was in a lot of trouble. His sudden inspiration had just brought him into trouble. Although the boy seemed to have bad intentions, he insisted on pretending to be interested in him.

Twenty-four nodded: "Good idea, are we in love with each other?"

Congratulations: "..."

"If you have a partner, please do not disturb him."

Twenty-four felt quite regretful: "Then let's split up. If it really doesn't work out, I don't mind the three of us being together."

Congratulations: "..."

This level of shamelessness seemed familiar to him.

But this should just be a joke. Is there such an interrogation process before he was arrested and used for experiments?

"Don't be anxious. I won't tease you anymore. When you get anxious, you'll be like crying."

Congratulations: "?"

【“? How did you know that?”

"Is this NPC a master of psychology? Or are his eyes a ruler?"】

…

Zhu Ci opened the live broadcast room and took a look. The audience noticed it with sharp eyes. Someone started to post comments, and the screen was flooded with comments.

【“You’re done. Your boyfriend is just like you.”

"You're done. Your boyfriend is just like you."

……】

Shen Wu is also in this instance? As a player?

Zhu Ci frowned, it was hard to tell whether they were enemies or friends. In order to avoid arguments, it was better not to meet them first.

…

The following time passed peacefully.

Nothing he expected happened, his identity was not exposed, and except for the restrictions on his upward mobility, he was safe.

But it wasn't because they restricted his freedom of speech that he couldn't go out.

It was more convenient to move around at night, so Zhu Ci opened the door and prepared to explore the terrain.

Although his mission is not to win the game, he must have a map in his mind to leave safely.

Since he had the skill to make people face-blind, all Zhu Ci needed was the clothes these people wore for their shift change, which was not difficult, as the warehouse where the uniforms were stored was on the first floor.

When putting on the patrol uniform, Zhu Ci followed Twenty-Four's advice and kept smiling.

“We caught several illegal immigrants this time.”

"It should also be transported to the fourth floor."

"You, and you." One person pointed at the others, then at Zhuci, "Send them up, don't let them get away."

"Come to think of it, are there any new people here? Why do I feel like I don't know anyone here?" the one who called the roll muttered secretly.

But since it’s a superior-subordinate relationship, it doesn’t matter whether you remember the name or not.

Zhu Ci was mixed in the crowd and could tell at a glance that these two illegal immigrants were extraordinary.

They looked like they were handcuffed, but there seemed to be something wrong with the handcuffs.

Are you a player?

The fourth floor should be the laboratory for gene induction.

Zhu Ci couldn't get in, so he looked around and found that every room was not completely transparent.

Zhu Ci quietly walked to a room and looked inside through the glass window.

The dark glass was dim enough to see what was inside, vaguely making out a human figure.

clang!

Suddenly, a loud noise came from the laboratory where the two men entered.

Zhuci took a few steps back, and then a red light flashed above his head.

"Catch them quickly!" a man in researcher's clothes shouted with a dusty face.

Zhu Ci pretended to step forward to stop them, but someone pushed him and he leaned against the wall.

These two guys are really good at fighting, and they even have some powerful props in their hands. The knives they hold can create blasts of air.

It's the player, yes.

Zhuci thought, maybe they came in to look for intelligence.

Soon, a group of guards came up.

Zhu Ci took advantage of the chaos to walk to the laboratory. He looked around inconspicuously. This place was monitored. He lowered his head and pretended to squat, then picked up the debris on the ground. He stood up, hid his hands in his sleeves and shook them off. The surveillance camera was broken. He silently put a piece of clothing into the space.

“Bang!”

The wall material was quite strong, showing no signs of damage from the hail of bullets, but the doors on both sides were blown open.

"Sizzle..."

"Oh no! The unstable subjects have escaped! Quick! Go tell the sheriff!"

"Why are you so surprised?" an unremarkable voice sounded.

Zhu Ci looked outside and saw that everyone had been led away. He took advantage of the chaos to change his clothes into researcher's clothes.

Zhuci picked up a rubber band on the table and tied up her hair. The two players must have run away. Thanks to them, Zhuci had the opportunity to observe the terrain here.

There was also a cardboard-thin transparent glass recorder on the table, and some identity cards.

Zhu Ci picked it up and scanned it. It probably recorded the operation steps of gene induction, the key points that were prone to problems, and the changes that occurred in several experimental subjects under the action of different chemical drugs.

Zhu Ci took an ID card, picked up some fragments, and left the room. He looked around but saw no one. The two players would definitely run downstairs, so he could take the opportunity to go upstairs.

Zhu Ci walked towards the stairs and was about to go up.

"This researcher." A voice called him.

He paused in his speech and looked back, and saw some people standing at the stairs.

"Can you tell me what will happen to these two people after genetic induction?"

Caught so quickly? Zhu Ci couldn't help but be surprised. What level are these players? Aren't they very powerful?

This sound and tone should be twenty-four.

Zhu Ci could only nod and smile wider. He thought he had no reason to refuse.

He can't speak now, which can easily expose his identity. If he had known earlier, he should have turned back into a mermaid in the room and recorded a few common ones with a recorder.

Zhu Ci walked into the laboratory helplessly, picked up the recorder, and then the two players were thrown in front of him.

Zhu Ci lowered his eyes and took a look.

There are two ways of gene induction: one is to draw blood, and the other is to directly inject the inducer into a person.

Zhuci chose the first one, and he had to keep these two players.

Zhu Ci had never had an injection before, but he was now afraid that Twenty-Four would suddenly question him.

He took the syringe and actually poured the restorative potion into his system.

"Ms. Researcher, don't you know how to give an injection?"

"Snap." Zhu Ci inserted the needle directly into her, with the tip of the needle facing downwards.

They are all advanced players, so I guess they are not afraid of pain.

"Ahhh, can you pierce it?"

Complaints were heard.

Zhu Ci quickly gave the other one an injection.

【“Hahaha, this is so funny. Does the anchor know who these two people he stabbed are?”

"Poor Xu Qiao, poor Tianhua, they both managed to escape from down there, and now they have to escape from up there again. They can't stop for even a moment."

"What did the anchor call them?"

……】

"My skills are ready." The player suddenly said to another person secretly.

The speech was once again pushed aside.

He leaned against the cabinet in the laboratory and looked up at the two players who started fighting again. He was still a little nervous.

Zhu Ci was about to stand up when suddenly a dark shadow loomed in front of him.

In the lab, right next to them, the room was buzzing with activity, and now the other person was greeting him in a familiar tone: "Hmm? Miss Researcher, what's your name?"

Congratulations: "..."

The ghost is still around, why don't you go and stop those two guys?
