Chapter 119 Shi Yan in this time and space
She would never forget that face, it was obviously Shi Yan's face.
Shocked, she pressed herself against the glass and looked at it over and over again until she confirmed that it was Shi Yan's face.
"How could it be, how could he be here?" Qin Muxue now wanted to open this container and ask Shi Yan in person why he was here.
"Shi Yan, is that you? Speak!"
Sheng Xingyuan said silently behind her: "The brain of this body has lost consciousness. It is currently relying on machines and nutrient solution to survive. Do you know this person?"
Just now in the virtual world, Sheng Xingyuan did not see Shi Yan's face.
"Subject X was one of the first people to undergo foreign experiments. I really couldn't bear to destroy him. Unfortunately, his schizophrenia is incurable and he has no self-control. Otherwise, he would have been a very powerful psychic." Sheng Xingyuan's tone was full of regret. "He was the one who lasted the longest among the experimental subjects, and he was also the most powerful one. It's really... a pity that he ended up like this."
"What happened?" Looking closely, one can see that Shi Yan now has many scars on his body.
"He was killed by an unknown killer. We have never found the whereabouts of that powerful killer. However, Shi Yan has killed many people because of his mental illness. If you are interested, there is a detailed introduction in my file. But you should be mentally prepared for it, as it is quite bloody." He pointed to the bookcase next to him. The top row contained the files of the experimental subjects.
Qin Muxue once had the file of experimental subject X. She knew that Shi Yan in this time and space had killed many people, and she also knew the list of those people.
"Why did he kill so many people?"
Sheng Xingyuan shook his head. "The main victims are distributed in Xuanwu City. He once studied in the same school as us. Isn't it amazing?"
Qin Muxue stared at the body intently, "He is so powerful, how could he be almost killed?"
"The other party is a more powerful killer than him, but as far as I know, there is no one with superpowers who can be more powerful than him... The experiments abroad were the first to start. Even if he is brain dead, this body still has very important research significance." He shrugged. In his eyes, this body could be used for research, but in Qin Muxue's heart, it became heavier.
The Shi Yan in this time and space is a murderous demon. The only one who can surpass him in strength is the Shi Yan from another time and space, the Shi Yan who has always been with her.
Did Shi Yan actually want to kill himself?
Qin Muxue was suddenly startled and surprised at her own idea, but she couldn't think of anyone else who could defeat Shi Yan in this time and space. If so, why did he want to kill herself? This was the most puzzling thing to her.
"I didn't expect you would be interested in him, but he is different from you. The medicine you used was developed by me, but he used the earliest batch. The side effects were very serious, and it could even be said that he was in excruciating pain. He was the only one who survived that batch. Even the experimental subjects No. 1, 2, and 3, which were the third batch of experimental subjects, did not replicate a being as powerful as him."
Looking at Qin Muxue's solemn expression, he continued, "You are already very lucky. You won't be like him. You see, he is very young, but his body has been damaged by the experiments. He will not live more than 30 years old at most."
Even though she already knew Shi Yan's ending, she still felt a dull pain in her chest when she heard it again from Sheng Xingyuan's mouth. She couldn't show any abnormality in front of him.
"Yeah?"
"This is an experiment to overdraw the body in advance, not to amplify the body's power. The drug I developed is to amplify it, but the early foreign researchers were completely inhumane. They couldn't find anyone to test the drug in their own country, so they looked for people from other countries. For money, some people would do anything. He is also a poor man, who was sold by his parents. How could there be such parents in the world?"
Qin Muxue climbed up the shelf and began to look through Shi Yan's information. She must have missed something and there must be some key information.
Sheng Xingyuan shook his head helplessly and adjusted his glasses. He thought she was afraid that she would not live past the age of 30 in the future. "The potion you drank is a substance I extracted from a meteorite. This substance is very strange. It can speed up human metabolism, thereby breaking through the limits of the human body and evolving superpowers. Superpowers are random, and I don't know what can be evolved. There is only enough in a whole meteorite to make two small tubes of potion. We are still looking for this kind of meteorite. If we can produce it in batches... then we can have more superpowers, so the probability of human survival will be much greater."
Qin Muxue was listening to Sheng Xingyuan's explanation while searching for information until she saw Shi Yan's information at the very back. Just as she was about to pull out the stack of information, her hand was just off the mark and the shelf under her feet shook a few times. Sheng Xingyuan originally wanted to catch her, but unexpectedly Qin Muxue's reaction was also very quick. A ball of water appeared under her body to cushion her somewhat, and she did not fall as expected, but instead slowly landed on the ground.
"I forgot that you have superpowers." Sheng Xingyuan smiled awkwardly, "Did you find the information?"
“Found it.”
Qin Muxue took another look at Shi Yan's body, found a place to sit down, and began to look through the information. This information was much more comprehensive than the one she had found before, and even included Shi Yan's family background.
This was the first time Qin Muxue learned that he had been abused since he was a child. His biological mother did not love him, but he was abused by his stepfather. There were also photos of him taken by the police, but this was just a family matter after all. As long as they were reconciled, there would be no sentencing. The little boy's back was covered with shocking scars, which showed that he was beaten with a belt. Qin Muxue frowned and continued to read.
Shi Yan endured torture again and again, and called the police only this time. Later, in order to prevent him from calling the police, his mother actually burned his mouth with a cigarette butt.
She seemed to be able to imagine the young boy hiding in the corner, shivering and crying. Everyone had the protection of their mother, but his mother not only did not protect him, but instead abused him together with her stepfather.
The small body hid in the corner, watching his biological mother fawning on his stepfather who hurt him.
Flipping through these photos, Qin Muxue also saw other information about Shi Yan. He had been very smart in studying since he was young, but due to family reasons, he often went to school for only two days and was taken back by his stepfather with various excuses. When he came back, his body was covered with bruises. If it weren't for the teacher who found him and fought for him to study, he probably wouldn't even have the chance to go to school.
Even so, he relied on scholarships from working to get through high school. Even his monthly scholarship was taken away by his stepfather, so he often went hungry. At that time, he was a little stunted and was laughed at by his classmates. He was reluctant to throw away his clothes even when they were tattered. He didn't care if he was called a freak or discriminated against. He worked hard and was admitted to university.
Originally his life was dark and without light, until he met Qin Muxue, the world gradually became a little brighter. Of course, this information did not mention this.
He just mentioned that he was put in a mental hospital because of schizophrenia during his freshman year, which was exactly the same as what Shi Yan had told her before. However, he looked no different from an ordinary person, so how could he suddenly get schizophrenia? Even though he didn't spend much time with him during his freshman year, he could feel that he was a gentle and somewhat withdrawn person, but he was far from suffering from schizophrenia.
It was not until Qin Muxue turned to the photos of Shi Yan in the mental hospital that her eyes became sore again. He was already thin and was tortured to the point of being dying, with lifeless eyes.
The information shows that he was later sent abroad by his parents and sold to a laboratory for research. He also signed a waiver of liability. On the surface, he was sent abroad for medical treatment, but in fact he became an experimenter for a pharmaceutical company.
The treatment here is even worse than in a mental hospital. He is no longer treated as a human being.
There was a photo of him squatting alone in the corner of a cage, wearing an empty hospital gown. He was emaciated and his eyes were red. He was often thrown a piece of bread at random, and sometimes he couldn't even eat bread. His living environment was very bad.
The report also stated the drugs he had injected, and all sorts of professional English terms that Qin Muxue couldn't understand at all. But she knew that this was torture for him, different kinds of torture, and he was in so much pain that he couldn't sleep for many days and nights.
"Doesn't it look scary?" Sheng Xingyuan saw her lonely look and handed her a bottle of vitamin drink.
Qin Muxue took the drink as if nothing had happened, "It's hard to imagine how he could endure this kind of torture."
"You can continue reading. This is a research experiment in the United States. We are not that cruel."
"Um."
Qin Muxue turned to the next page. The information on the back was a bit messy. It was mainly about Shi Yan's observation and his reaction after the injection of the drug. The last time he was injected with the drug, he was unconscious for three days and three nights. The record on the paper was stained with blood the next night. "What is this?"
"I heard that he slaughtered all the researchers in the lab after he woke up."
Qin Muxue looked at the clearly visible bloody palm print on it, and seemed to be able to see the despair he felt when he lost consciousness and slaughtered people everywhere after he woke up.
If she could have been with Shi Yan at the time, discovered something was wrong with his family earlier, and helped him earlier, would he not have gone through all this?
"He was the first successful experimental subject, known as X. Later, he participated in many assassination attempts against other countries planned by the United States. In order to escape their control, he chose to cooperate with China. With our help, he returned to China, but he disappeared afterwards... The following data were all about murders that occurred in China, and they were suspected to be related to him."
Qin Muxue looked through the lists and found that apart from the part she knew, there were some people she didn't know, so she was not sure whether those people had superpowers.
"Oh, by the way, there is a notebook of his at the back. There are many strange symbols recorded on it. I haven't deciphered them yet."
Qin Muxue opened the notebook and found many strange symbols that even she couldn't understand. If she wanted to know the meaning of the symbols, she would probably have to wait until the body in the culture medium woke up to find out.
There are also some eerie abstract paintings that make people feel chilled after just one look.
The last page was a densely packed list of names, and the most conspicuous one was probably her own name. Qin Muxue's eyes darkened, "This is my name."
You can't see it if you look at it in a normal arrangement, but if you look at it sideways, you can see that it is her name.
"Let me see." Sheng Xingyuan had only glanced at the notebook before and had not read it completely. After hearing what Qin Muxue said, he became interested. He turned the notebook to a different angle and saw Qin Muxue's name. "It's really your name! Were you once on his hunting list?"
Of course, it is possible that she is on his hunting list. Any name that she finds familiar is someone who used to be a psychic. Even if they are not psychics, there are those who have bullied Shi Yan.
"What's even more terrifying is that the police later found Shi Yan's parents in his hometown, but they had been cut into many pieces and their bodies were already highly decomposed. He seemed to be waiting for someone to find their bodies, but these two people had a very bad reputation to begin with, and no one cared about their life or death... His brother is also missing, and it is very likely that he has already..."
Qin Muxue was thinking about another question. If Shi Yan in this time and space wanted to kill her, then killing him would be... Although this idea was very bold, Shi Yan's personality would allow him to do such a thing.
He could actually kill himself in another time and space for her.
Looking at the body in the culture medium, her eyes became more complicated. "So, does he still have a chance to survive?"
"Of course there is. If he survives, it will be of great benefit to us."
"But aren't you afraid that he might be a murderer?"
Sheng Xingyuan asked thoughtfully, "Are you afraid?"
Qin Muxue was stunned for a moment. He was Shi Yan, but he was not Shi Yan. "I'm not afraid. After all, I still have superpowers."
"Then I'm naturally not afraid. Don't forget, there are many people with special abilities around me." He sat on the recliner, looking at the ceiling in a very comfortable posture.
"It's strange, why don't you leave a tube of potion for yourself, so that you can evolve into superpowers."
Sheng Xingyuan stared at her and asked, "How do you know that I don't have any special abilities?"
She really couldn't be sure of this. Sheng Xingyuan was mysterious and seemed to have told her a lot of things, but she couldn't see what his intention was. Why did he go to so much trouble to keep her by his side? She couldn't understand why he had to go through so much trouble.
"Don't look at me like that. I told you, part of the reason is to repay you for saving my life. You saved my life and I have everything I have now. Those are all your rewards. Besides, now you have to pay a little price too." He took out gloves and a syringe from the sterilizer, his eyes revealing inexplicable excitement.
"Stretch out your arm. I need to draw some blood from you. Don't worry, it's just a little bit for testing. It won't cause any harm to you."
Qin Muxue took off her coat, rolled up her sleeves, and watched Sheng Xingyuan insert the needle into her arm to draw some blood.
Sheng Xingyuan placed the blood sample in a test tube. "I need to see the composition of your blood sample. Wait for me for a moment."
After he left, only Qin Muxue and Shi Yan in the culture medium were left here.
At this moment, she always felt that a pair of eyes were watching her. Maybe it was an illusion. Qin Muxue looked at the energy drink in her hand, but didn't dare to drink it anymore.
Shi Yan in this time and space has woken up. Is it a good thing or a bad thing for her?
…
Qin Muxue's job in the laboratory was very simple. As Sheng Xingyuan's experimental subject, strictly speaking, she should be considered his assistant now, helping her deal with some small matters in the laboratory and following up on some bugs in the virtual world. It was not difficult for her. Occasionally, he would draw some blood samples from her. After each blood sample was drawn, he would treat her to a big meal, under the pretext of replenishing her body.
Manman was also assigned to work under Sheng Xingyuan, but her main task was to observe Alan in the laboratory next door. Alan's behavior had become more and more wild. If he continued like this, he might become a real Arctic wolf.
If he became a real wolf, how would Sang Qing, who was waiting for him outside, cope with the situation? So Manman took good care of Alan, observing his changes, giving him medicine and injections every day as required, hoping that one day he would return to normal.
Moreover, this place is very close to Qin Muxue, so she can visit her at any time. The biggest disadvantage is probably that she and Qu Yanbai are rarely together, and they haven't seen each other for several days.
Qu Yanbai was as busy as a top, going out early and coming back late. When he came back at night, Manman was already asleep, and when he left, Manman had not yet gotten up.
But in the base, no one would delay their mission for love. Manman also understood and respected him and had no complaints about it.
The two children were also sent to the kindergarten. In the new base, the number of newborns was very small, but people died every day. Whenever someone died, there would be survivors from outside to make up for the number. However, as the environment outside became increasingly harsh, basically no one went out anymore.
The weather now is so bad that except for people with special abilities, ordinary people will be frozen to death if they go out.
Qu Yanbai also received a new task and would be away for a while soon. He had to find some time to find Manman and say goodbye to her.
Their superiors only gave them half an hour to prepare. Qu Yanbai hurried to the door of the laboratory. He couldn't go in, so he could only wait for Manman to come out and find him.
Seeing the person he had been thinking about day and night, Qu Yanbai felt that all his tiredness was worth it. In front of people coming and going, he hugged Manman in his arms.
Manman asked shyly: "What are you doing? There are so many people here!"
"I really miss you. Although we live under the same roof, it seems like we haven't seen each other for a long time." Holding the petite Manman in his arms, he felt peace in his heart.
"Aren't we meeting now? You rushed to see me in such a hurry, is there something important?" Manman pulled him to a corner where there were fewer people and it was more convenient for them to talk.
"I have to go out on a mission again soon..." He sighed and replied dejectedly.
Manman's bright eyes dimmed instantly, "When?"
Qu Yanbai looked at the time on his watch and said, "We have fifteen minutes left to get ready to leave."
She knew that the mission outside was difficult and dangerous. If possible, she was willing to go on the mission with Qu Yanbai, but she promised Sang Qing that she would take good care of Alan here. The promise to a friend could not be ignored. Moreover, she liked her job here very much. She didn't have to deal with outsiders or face some difficult people.
"I'll wait for you to come back." She really wanted to say, "Stay, stay for me," but she didn't have the courage.
If you like someone, you should support his work instead of delaying him because of personal feelings.
"Manman, you know, there's much more I want to hear and do than just this. This mission is very dangerous..."
"Then can you please not..." She swallowed the words halfway through, just stroked the emerald ring on her hand, and brought him some medicine to treat external injuries.
"If I'm not here, you must be careful to be safe. I will be waiting for you to come back here and take good care of Grandma Qu. Don't worry, you don't have to worry about anything here." Manman's nose turned red. She rubbed it, but tears flowed down her face unknowingly. She didn't want him to leave.
"Little fool, if you don't want me to leave, you can just tell me directly." He gently kissed away the tears on her cheeks, "It's so bitter, someone is so sad."
"I hate it." She punched his strong chest a few times.
Qu Yanbai pretended to say, "My chest hurts so much, Manman, why are you so strong?"
"I clearly don't feel... any pain anywhere, let me see?" Manman didn't notice anything unusual for a moment and thought he was really injured.
Qu Yanbai grabbed her white and tender little hand and said, "My heart is beating so hard because you broke into my heart."
"You are so talkative. You are still saying these things now!"
"I'm sorry, I have to participate in this mission, but I promise you that I will take good care of myself. Xiaoxue is here to take care of you, so I can rest assured."
Manman could feel the other person's burning gaze as if he was expecting something. "I'm about to leave, can you give me a kiss goodbye?"
Manman took a few deep breaths, closed her eyes, and stood on tiptoe, but she felt as if her feet were being held up. "What are you doing? Put me down."
Qu Yanbai picked her up directly. He was quite strong and it was easy for him to pick her up.
He kissed her passionately on the lips, and Manman almost couldn't breathe. Five minutes later, when both of their mouths were wet and red, Qu Yanbai put her down and said solemnly in her ear, "Wait for me to come back and become my real wife."
When Manman heard this, her whole face turned red, "Okay."
