"In the archives of that year, there was indeed an X23 used on a newborn baby..."
In a secret laboratory, the assistant was handing the file to a white-haired man in a white coat, explaining:
"No. 34298, female baby, blood type O, no history of genetic disease, no obvious allergic reaction within 3 minutes after injection of x23."
The female assistant was very efficient and also brought over a laptop computer containing the video of Wei Lan sent by Lin Jinghui.
"After comparing her face online, I found that she had appeared on a parent-child variety show before."
Another video popped up, showing the scene where Wei Lan appeared in "A Family with Two Treasures". After Wei Lan said her name, Zhu Hao asked her with a deliberately strange expression, "So, I guess you are a director, right?"
Wei Lan in the picture nodded and answered Zhu Hao seriously: "Yes."
"So you are the director of the movie with your sister right now, right?"
Wei Lan nodded again and said seriously: "That's right."
The two stared at Wei Lan in the picture. Unlike other children, she had a calm temperament and her eyes were shining. "So she is telling the truth. She is the director, right?"
"That's right." Unlike Dr. Zhang, who was obsessed with research and had a head full of white hair, the female assistant had a certain understanding of the outside world. She said to the doctor, "This director has shot several movies in the past two years, and the box office and reputation are very good. She can be said to be the most popular director in the past two years. And, most importantly, she has never appeared in front of the public."
"I checked it out, and even the actors who worked with her have never seen her. She is very mysterious. She auditions are all done on the director's machine, interviews are done over the phone, and variety shows are also done with a virtual image..."
"She claims to have social phobia, but judging from her performance in interviews and variety shows, she doesn't seem to have such a problem..."
The female assistant listed the suspicious points about Director Wei Lan to Dr. Zhang.
"They became suspicious this time because Chengguang tried to kidnap Wei Lan, but they only found a little girl who looked only three or four years old in the camera. They thought they had caught the wrong person, but after checking, they found nothing wrong."
Dr. Zhang carefully checked the information brought by the female assistant, and the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter. "So they didn't find the wrong person. It was indeed Wei Lan himself. It's just that no one would have thought that a great director with an adult's mind would look only three years old."
"She's really smart... She's three years old, but she has the mind of an adult, even better than an average adult. How did she manage to do all this in such a small body? Filming a movie requires a lot of brain power. If she consumes so much, will her brain be able to sustain it? How old is she really now?"
The female assistant looked through Wei Lan's date of birth in the file: "Nineteen years old, not yet twenty."
Dr. Zhang paced around the lab excitedly: "What was the longest survival record of the last x23 drug?"
The female assistant quickly replied, "The longest record we know of is fifteen years old, but the test subject was injected with the drug at the age of three, and he had intellectual disabilities during his growth. At the age of fifteen, his intelligence level was only at the level of a normal child of seven or eight years old... There are too few newborn test subjects. So far, we have only had one newborn case, Wei Lan."
"She is also the longest-lived case, and based on what we know so far, she has no intellectual disabilities and may even be smarter than the average person!"
"Restarting the research on the x23 drug may be the right approach, but the target group should be newborns."
Dr. Zhang looked at Wei Lan's photo carefully, as if he was looking at an extremely precious experimental material.
"I really want to dissect her..." Dr. Zhang said these horrifying words, but the female assistant beside him didn't take it seriously and didn't show any strange expression.
"Take her to the lab now, and don't worry about what Chengguang wants."
Hearing this, the female assistant frowned and said, "They have sold her to human traffickers. The people in Chengguang thought they had caught the wrong person and thought she was just an ordinary little girl..."
"Stupid!" Dr. Zhang frowned and cursed, "Catch up with the trafficker right now, bring the person back, tell the higher-ups, and have the best troops take action."
"Yes." The female assistant left quickly to contact their higher-ups.
Dr. Zhang looked through Wei Lan's file, thought for a moment, and then quickly operated the instrument, as if he was making something.
Less than five minutes later, the female assistant came back quickly: "Doctor, they said that we are being closely watched recently and cannot move easily..."
"Give me the communicator!" Dr. Zhang said directly.
The female assistant handed him a special phone.
Dr. Zhang pressed the only communication button on his phone. After the call was connected, before the person on the other end spoke, Dr. Zhang spoke first: "This is a wonderful experimental subject. Maybe we can extract the most critical 'immortality gene' from her!"
There was a silence on the phone, and the breathing became heavier. "Are you sure?"
"This is the most likely possibility," Dr. Zhang said without hesitation.
"Okay, only one chance."
After hanging up the phone, a new call came in not long after: "Where is the target?"
Dr. Zhang picked up a new type of medicine generated by the instrument: "It's in the hands of a human trafficker named Mrs. Zhu."
…
It was the six o'clock train and everyone was sleeping. There were men and women sitting opposite Wei Lan. The two men by the window and in the middle were sleeping soundly and snoring. At the very edge was a young girl who was also in a deep sleep with her head nodding.
Mrs. Zhu wrapped Wei Lan tightly in a blanket, which was a little loose now that he fell asleep. Wei Lan moved his chubby hands with difficulty, picked up the empty drink bottle on the table, aimed it at the girl opposite, and threw it hard.
The can hit the girl, and the remaining Coke spilled on her hand.
The reason why he chose this girl among the three people opposite was that men usually sleep deeply, and Wei Lan had previously observed that the girl had been wearing headphones, which showed that she was not able to adapt to the noisy environment in the train. This meant that she might be a light sleeper and sensitive to sound.
Sure enough, a can hit him, waking the girl opposite from her sleep.
"Ah!" The girl suddenly woke up from her sleep, screamed subconsciously, and her body bounced a little in fear.
The can rolled down her legs and onto the ground, with some of the remaining Coke inside spilling onto her.
The noise woke up everyone in the row, first of all, Mrs. Zhu opposite and the man next to her.
Being guilty, she naturally had a light sleep. And since Wei Lan had just moved, Mrs. Zhu was the second one to wake up.
Seeing the situation in front of him, he immediately hugged Wei Lan tightly.
"Help!" Wei Lan shouted with all her might, but her voice at this time was only slightly louder than that of a newborn kitten. After she uttered these two words, the sensitive Mrs. Zhu pressed Wei Lan's struggling body against her chest.
The girl opposite was awakened from her dream. Although she heard Wei Lan's cry for help, she could not distinguish between the dream and reality, and stared blankly at Mrs. Zhu and Wei Lan.
Wei Lan wanted to struggle, but how could she be a match for Mrs. Zhu? Mrs. Zhu soon pressed her tightly against her chest and patted her back heavily.
Mrs. Zhu suppressed Wei Lan, and tried to force a smile and apologize to the girl: "I'm sorry, the child woke up and acted naughty."
“Woo… woo…”
Wei Lan was still struggling and trying to make a sound, but was held down by Mrs. Zhu.
"Baby, go to sleep, go to sleep..."
People in the seats around them were attracted, but it was sleeping time, and everyone was used to seeing children on the train. Now that they saw the parents taking the initiative to comfort the children, no one took it to heart. They just wanted the children to fall asleep quickly so that everyone could continue to sleep.
"It's okay, it's okay..."
Even though she was frightened, the parent also apologized. The girl was not the kind of person who would not give in. It was just that her clothes were stained by Coke, so she was in a bad mood and took out tissues from her bag to wipe her clothes.
As she wiped, the girl couldn't help but recall everything that had happened before -
A childish cry of "Help" suddenly flashed into her memory and could not be erased.
Something was wrong just now!
'The lucky aura has been consumed, and the mall items are refreshed.'
Wei Lan, who was struggling hard in Mrs. Zhu's arms, felt relieved and suddenly let go of the strength.
