Chapter 42 The Man in the Pool with Translucent, Ribbon-like Jellyfish Tentacles...
The repeated experiments took a toll on his body. When the researchers realized that the gene extraction value in his body had reached its limit and that continuing the experiments would not bring any changes, he was thrown into Zone E and ignored by everyone.
During the experiment, he had completely regarded himself as the test subject. He didn't know what he could do if he wasn't being experimented on. Would he, who was of no value, be discarded again?
A sense of confusion and emptiness filled his heart. He was naturally withdrawn and insecure, and always stayed alone in a corner, gradually forgetting how to communicate with others.
But she was different. Her presence brought peace of mind; being with her gave one a sense of security and belonging.
He liked this feeling and secretly moved a little closer.
Pei Qian didn't pay attention to his little actions, but gently stroked the scar. Suddenly, she remembered something the doctor at the orphanage had mentioned when they were chatting.
Although the federal government does not officially support the removal of glands, major hospitals can perform this surgery privately. The surgical technique is already very mature, and no one will hold anyone accountable after the surgery.
After the glands are removed, the reproductive tract will gradually shrink due to the lack of hormone supply, pheromones will weaken, and fertility will slowly be lost.
Unlike O, after A undergoes gland removal surgery, although the reproductive cells also gradually lose their activity, there is a transition period, the length of which varies from person to person. In other words, if exercise is carried out during the transition period, it is possible for the partner to become pregnant, especially for A whose primary sex is male.
Therefore, we suggest that man A should have cervical evacuation surgery instead, which is a one-step solution.
Alright, you've met your humor quota for today. From now on, you're not allowed to be this funny anymore. Pei Qing pursed her lips to prevent herself from laughing out loud.
Although E0779 didn't understand why she suddenly laughed, he was happy because she was happy, and his lips curved into a similar, albeit somewhat stiff, smile.
Just as I finished washing the person, the familiar lunch bell rang.
"Would you like to go out for dinner together?" Pei Qing asked politely.
"No need, I don't need to eat." E0779 curled up, seemingly enjoying this position, or perhaps it was just a habit. He tried to smile, but quickly withdrew it; it must have looked terrible, so he decided against it.
Pei Qing noticed that the young man seemed anxious, fidgeting nervously with his hands clasped together. Was he anxious about her inappropriate invitation? Actually, she was just being polite.
Someone I've lived with for so long and who hasn't shown up at all definitely won't go out to eat. Seriously, spending so much time in prison makes your brain foggy; you can't apply the same logic to many things as you do in the outside world.
"Um, don't mind me, I was just saying, haha, I'm going now, there won't be any food left later..."
Pei Qian waved awkwardly and fled out the door. She only had so much time to go out each day, so she had to make the most of it, especially since it was the precious mealtime. If she didn't hurry, she might not even get to drink her nutrient solution!
Pei Qian hurried to the cafeteria, only to find that there weren't as many people as usual. Although she was a little puzzled, she didn't slow down at all and quickly got herself a set meal that wasn't too bad.
It's a little pricey, but Pei Qing has been forced to do experiments these past few days and has accumulated some points. Not many, though; she'll probably run out in two or three more meals. She doesn't know what to do after that. Oh well, she'll figure it out later. She can't let herself go hungry!
Thank goodness, she didn't have to eat those cheapest nutritional supplements anymore; they were truly awful. Pei Qing had no idea how that wheelchair-bound man managed to eat them that day, but she certainly couldn't eat a single bite. She had eaten far too much during her eighteen years at the orphanage.
By the way, why haven't I seen that wheelchair-bound man lately? It's quite a coincidence. Ever since he took the initiative to come and make amends with her last time, Pei Qing has been silently keeping an eye on his news. She doesn't mean anything by it; she just values her own life.
Pei Qing was deep in thought while inhaling deeply, completely unaware that someone had come up to her from the opposite side.
It wasn't until the person tapped on the table that she suddenly looked up, her eyes lighting up when she saw who it was. "It's you!"
"Please sit down, please sit down. Is this all you're going to eat?"
The person who came was Feng Qi, who was holding a very unpalatable nutrient solution in her hand, which was only meant to fill her stomach.
"It's only been half a day since I last saw you, but you look much better and not as listless as you were this morning."
"Really? Maybe, hehe, I didn't notice either. I guess you were resting well. By the way, why did you drink such awful stuff? Don't you have a lot of credits? Why don't you eat something better?"
Pei Qing quickly and guiltily changed the subject. She absolutely couldn't let others know that she could absorb spiritual energy; it was her trump card for survival.
Hearing her question, Feng Qi smiled indifferently and held up the nutrient solution in his hand to indicate, "This nutrient solution is inexpensive and has a strong feeling of fullness, making it most suitable as a combat reserve for the Federal Army. You'll get used to drinking it."
After Pei Qing finished eating and drinking, she let out a burp. Upon hearing this, she raised her eyebrows and said, "You're used to this kind of drinking? Were you in the Federal Army before? Were you a Federal soldier?"
"He's not really a soldier; he was just sent there for a period of training."
"Then how did you get here?" Pei Qing was very curious. A family that could be sent to the army for training must have a good background. How could they let their offspring go to waste? She felt more and more that there was something strange about this so-called prison.
Feng Qi didn't speak, but drank the remaining half-bottle of nutrient solution in his hand in one gulp. "None of that matters anymore. What matters is how we get out of this hellhole."
It seems there's more to the story. Seeing that she wasn't willing to say more, Pei Qing wisely chose to keep quiet. Anyway, their only goal in cooperating was to get out of prison, so it was best not to pry into the secrets of such powerful families; it might shorten their lifespan.
"Have you finished eating?"
"Hmm, where are we going?"
"First, I'll register you for this round of the tournament, then I'll let you relax and watch the show."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go, Feng Qi!"
Unlike the usual quiet experimental atmosphere, the third basement floor of the research institute was unusually lively today.
"Bring me sedatives! Increase the dosage!" "Teacher, we've already administered seven doses, far exceeding the maximum recommended amount!"
"Then let's get the equipment running! Increase the power, we must suppress his berserk state no matter what, his genetic links are on the verge of collapse! If we let it continue and it causes his mental sea to explode, he will lose all his experimental value! We must not repeat the same mistake, he was the closest we came to a successful experimental subject!"
The lead researcher had a solemn expression, spoke urgently, and his subordinates worked methodically.
Before them was a huge cubic pool, made of thick, sturdy, transparent material, with faint electric currents flashing across its outer walls. On the left side was a stabilizing device that was working continuously.
The person in the pool was Luo Yu, who had not been seen for a long time.
The man was in a terrifying state; his expression was contorted, his eyes were tightly closed, and his eyelids were trembling wildly, as if he were enduring immense pain.
Her icy blue hair danced wildly in the water, her slender neck was shackled with mechanical chains, her fair skin was frighteningly thin, and electric currents occasionally flashed beneath her skin, making even the internal organs in her abdominal cavity clearly visible.
Below the waist, there was no trace of human lower limbs left; it had completely transformed into translucent, ribbon-like jellyfish tentacles, floating helplessly up and down in the water, shimmering with fluorescent light—a dazzling and dangerously alluring sight.
After another injection of sedative, the pool finally quieted down, and the man hung his head listlessly, motionless.
"It's finally stabilized." The experimenter wiped the sweat from her forehead, still shaken, and picked up the record board to add today's experimental records.
Suddenly, a faint commotion came from the doorway.
"Doctor..." "The Doctor is here..."
"It's Dr. Linka..." "It seems the doctor values this test subject highly..."
"After all, it was sent from the capital planet..." "Stop talking nonsense and go prepare the materials..."
Upon seeing Dr. Linka, the researchers who had been watching scattered like birds and beasts, each going back to their work.
Being caught slacking off by the PhD student means a deduction in performance pay. We've already had our performance paid out once this month due to an experimental error, and we can't afford another one, or we're finished! This is the honest sentiment of a working-class ox trembling with fear.
Linka went to the pool and tapped on the side, but the creatures inside did not react.
She raised an eyebrow, her deep gray eyes turning to the third-floor manager of the research institute, who was cowering like a quail beside her. "How many sedatives have you had today?"
"As of 6:35:11 PM, a total of seven sedatives have been injected, and a strong sedation device has been added."
The third-level manager stepped back half a step and handed over the record board in his hand, "Doctor, this is today's experiment record."
Linka took the recorder and slid it up and down, finally stopping at a certain point in time. The gene drug was injected according to a fixed cycle, so it was definitely not a problem with the drug. The data before this point in time were also normal and there were no abnormalities.
Only after this point in time did the data curve suddenly begin to climb rapidly, far exceeding the previous highest data point.
Linka nodded slightly. If she remembered correctly, this was about an hour after that person's outburst.
That person's gene chain is extremely complex, and the gene lock is extremely strong. The mysterious black substance she extracted earlier still has extremely strong activity forty-eight hours after leaving the body, and it also shows a strong parasitic tendency.
Parasitism is a unique ability of the Zerg, so why would it be displayed in a pure human? She was initially skeptical of that person's pure human identity, but the genetic test results proved that that person was indeed pure human.
Unless, that person's genes are products from a higher dimension and a more ancient era, capable of causing a disturbance in the spiritual sea and being in a superior state at the level of spiritual power.
The Spirit Sea has always been the most mysterious and unique area. The reason for its appearance is still unknown to mankind. Even today, with the Federation's highest level of technology, it has not been able to fully understand even one-tenth of it. There are too many secrets in the Spirit Sea that need to be explored.
The mental sea is in turmoil, and mental power is erupting. What is the connection between the two?
Linka had already formed a judgment in her mind. She didn't say anything, but handed the record board to the third-floor administrator and said in a deep voice, "Tomorrow, transfer the person to the mutation observation room, and then invite that special guest over as well."
"Let's do an interesting experiment."
