Chapter 114: Contract
Qin Muxue stood there in a daze for a moment. Manman had always been thinking about her. Everyone felt bad about Shi Yan's departure. She had been too depressed during this period. Even if Manman had something to say, she kept it deep in her heart and didn't want to disturb her.
At this moment she understood that she was reborn not only for herself, but also for the people around her. At least she had to fulfill her previous oath and take good care of her friends.
"If there's anything you need here in the future, you can just tell me directly. There's no need to be so troublesome."
"But." Grandma Qu said in embarrassment, "It's not like outside. There are so many eyes watching us. We have so many extra supplies out of thin air. If others find out by accident, I'm afraid it will bring disaster." She sighed, "Manman and I think the same thing, so Xiao Qin, I think it's better for us to earn points. This way, no one can catch us."
"Grandma Qu, I know you have a lot to think about. I have been very careful in these aspects and will be even more careful in the future. Besides, you forgot that Qu Yanbai and Manman also have a lot of supplies with me, so don't feel burdened. Just ask me for them. However, even if you don't ask me in the future, I will give you the supplies regularly."
Qin Muxue began to put various vegetables, fruits and meat into the refrigerator. "Besides, children are still growing, so they must have food."
"It's hard for you."
Seeing that Qin Muxue had recovered just like before, Grandma Qu felt relieved. "It would be great if I really had a granddaughter like you. Unfortunately..."
"Just treat me as your granddaughter." After replenishing all the missing things here, she was ready to leave.
It seems that she should not tell Manman about Sheng Xingyuan's matter. She doesn't want to involve Manman anymore. Now she has a lover and a child to take care of, and what about herself? She is alone. If there is such a relationship that can ensure that they have food and clothing and never suffer any harm again, it is worth it. Besides, there is also a chance to investigate Shi Yan's affairs. Considering all these factors, she agreed to Sheng Xingyuan's matter, which is indeed the best policy.
She had made up her mind, but she couldn't tell Sheng Xingyuan about the secret of the space. The space in the emerald should be considered a supernatural event and had nothing to do with supernatural powers. There was no need for her to tell him.
Grandma Qu looked at her leaving with a kind look on her face. She had always thought that Qin Muxue was a very independent and strong person, but she also felt that something had changed in her, but she couldn't tell for a moment. "Xiao Qin, I can only wish you the best... and hope you can forget the painful past as soon as possible."
…
Qu Yanbai happened to be on his way to meet Captain Wei, who was entertaining a professor who came from the central base.
"Qu Yanbai, you've come at the right time. I can introduce you to Professor Sheng. He's a very capable person."
Qu Yanbai couldn't help but stand there in a daze. The man in front of him had a slender figure, elegant temperament, and pleasing appearance, but he looked to be about the same age as Manman and Qin Muxue, or even younger than himself.
"Hello, Professor Sheng."
Captain Wei introduced: "This is the superpower from our base. He is in the same team as Qin Muxue."
Sheng Xingyuan looked up at him, stretched out his hand and shook it lightly with him, "Hello, nice to meet you." There was clearly alienation in his eyes, but there was a smile on his face. The last man who made Qu Yanbai so unable to see through was Shi Yan.
"Captain Wei, I have an urgent matter and would like to ask you for help. Can you..."
Sheng Xingyuan glanced at Qu Yanbai thoughtfully and said, "What favor? I'm happy to help you."
Captain Wei was a little embarrassed at first, but since Sheng Xingyuan had spoken, everything was easy to say, "Professor Sheng is willing to help you, just tell me!"
At this time Qu Yanbai was a little hesitant again. He trusted Captain Wei, but that didn't mean he trusted the man in front of him.
Sheng Xingyuan obviously saw Qu Yanbai's worry, "Don't worry, everyone has their own expertise. If it's anything related to mutants, I know everything very well."
Qu Yanbai sighed and told Alan about his situation, "So, I need that special potion now to help him."
Sheng Xingyuan and Captain Wei looked at each other, and Captain Wei said helplessly: "I really can't help you with this matter, but Professor Sheng should be able to help you. See if he is willing to help you."
"Qin Muxue and I were classmates before. We know each other and have some connections. For her sake, I am willing to help you. Now take me to see Experimental Subject No. 3!" He picked up the box beside him and walked straight out of the office door.
Qu Yanbai was still wondering about his previous relationship with Qin Muxue, and when he saw that he was about to leave, he immediately thanked Captain Wei, "Thank you, Captain Wei, I'll take him there first!"
"Go!"
Hurrying to catch up with Sheng Xingyuan, Qu Yanbai was still a little confused, "Professor Sheng, do you know Xiaoxue? Did you have a good relationship before?"
“I think our relationship is pretty good.”
Sheng Xingyuan found that the tall man in front of her actually called her Xiaoxue so intimately, "How come you have a good relationship with her too?"
"Xiaoxue, she is like my sister... Let's go see Alan!" At the same time, Qu Yanbai felt something was wrong. Sheng Xingyuan seemed to be very capable, but he could not feel the fluctuation of his mental power. Moreover, he was so young and yet he was a professor. Seeing that Captain Wei was very respectful to him, it seemed like a difficult task.
But I can’t care about so many things now, let’s save Alan first!
After arriving at the apartment, Sang Qing came forward eagerly and saw Qu Yanbai bringing a strange man. The man immediately opened the box and took out a tube of medicine.
He checked Alan's condition and prepared to give him an injection with ease.
Sang Qing stopped him, "Who are you?"
"If you want the experiment subject to survive, it's best not to stop me."
He hesitated, but the man in front of him was so suspicious, and Alan was still shouting unconsciously, "No, it hurts, I really don't want the injection."
Sang Qing was so distressed that he looked at Qu Yanbai. Qu Yanbai nodded at him and said, "He is Professor Sheng. You can trust him. Don't worry!"
Seeing that Alan's condition was getting worse and worse, Sang Qing had no choice but to compromise, "Sorry, I was impulsive." He gave up a seat to Sheng Xingyuan.
When Sheng Xingyuan was about to give him an injection, Alan seemed to be stimulated and struggled violently. "Hurry up and hold him down." Qu Yanbai and Sang Qing could only hold down Alan's arms, but Alan was so strong that they had no way to control him for a while. Qu Yanbai could only use his supernatural powers to tie him up tightly. Only then did Sheng Xingyuan have the opportunity to give him an injection.
After the drug was completely injected into his body, Alan finally relaxed and seemed to fall into a deep sleep. "It's dangerous for the experimental subject to live among the residents. I must take him away."
Sang Qing just breathed a sigh of relief and immediately stopped in front of Alan, "Professor Sheng, thank you for the medicine, but Alan can't leave here. He is a very important person to me."
"Even though you knew he was going to die, you wouldn't let him leave here?"
"He will die?" Sang Qing widened his eyes in surprise. "He never told me."
"He is a combination of wolf and human genes, created with the most advanced technology in the United States at the time, but it is not the most advanced technology today. Artificial experimental subjects will have side effects, and he is no exception. I just checked his condition and found that something is wrong. I want to take him away not to use him for research, but to save him. Of course, I respect your ideas."
Sang Qing hesitated. Alan couldn't live without him, just as he couldn't live without him. He couldn't imagine a life without Alan. Compared to death, separation was nothing.
"I can absolutely guarantee his safety. In my hands, I can guarantee that he can live at least five more years."
"Only five years..."
"Five years is a long time in this world. If I hadn't saved him, he wouldn't have lived for a year."
Sang Qing hung his head in disappointment. After a moment of silence, he made a decision. "Okay, I promise you."
"I have one more condition, which I must explain to you now, to avoid any accidents later."
"you say."
"During the treatment, he will most likely lose all his human characteristics and turn into a real wolf. Can you accept that?"
"Becoming a real wolf..." Sang Qing covered his face, his eyes starting to turn red, "Does that mean he will forget me?"
"Once it turns into a wolf, it will be a real wild beast. Even if it can be tamed, it will only be a wolf." Sheng Xingyuan explained calmly.
Compared to letting Alan die on his own, if he lived as a real wolf, he could at least see him. Sang Qing held his cold hand and stroked his cheek, "Alan, don't forget me."
Then he stood up and said firmly: "As long as I can let him live, I will agree."
"Okay, I'll send someone to take him away later. You should say goodbye to each other for now. There will be few opportunities to meet in the future."
If Sheng Xingyuan took Alan away from here, they would have no chance to meet again.
Qu Yanbai listened to their conversation silently. He patted Sang Qing on the shoulder and said, "You can think about it again. You don't have to use this method. When Manman wakes up, we can ask her again."
Sheng Xingyuan smiled and packed up the box. "I will stay here for a while. You have room to regret during this time."
He was willing to help because of Qin Muxue. He had no interest in such an incomplete experimental subject.
"Sheng Xingyuan, why are you here?"
She stood in front of them. Although Sheng Xingyuan looked like a harmless little lamb, Qin Muxue could always feel a dangerous aura emanating from him.
"Professor Sheng is here to help. Xiaoxue, aren't you two old acquaintances?"
"It's indeed an old acquaintance."
Qin Muxue pulled his arm and went directly to her apartment, which was more private and easier to talk to. "What exactly are you planning?"
"You think too badly of me. You saved my life. I won't hurt you or the people around you. I'm not such a despicable person."
People’s hearts are fickle, and her relationship with Sheng Xingyuan only happened a long time ago. “It was you who said that you wanted to use me as a test subject.”
"Being an experimental subject is not a bad thing, at least not for me. Besides, I can satisfy many of your requirements and will never let you suffer any loss." There was a smile in his dark eyes.
Qin Muxue frowned, "Do you remember when you were in high school, you once rushed into a fire scene to save a girl?"
"Speaking of this, I later remembered that I did rush into the fire, but I didn't save you. She doesn't look like you at all."
"Do you know what I want to ask?" Qin Muxue asked suspiciously.
"After you mentioned it to me once before, I tried to find out about the fire. I did enter the fire scene and was injured, but the girl was not you, so we are not even. I still owe you." He explained solemnly, "I originally wanted to tell you about this after seeing you again, for fear that you would misunderstand. I didn't expect that we would have the chance to meet now after all these twists and turns. You have also exceeded my expectations. Your supernatural power should be level two!"
"Can you tell that I'm a level 2 mutant?"
"Well, I can see you're pretty good."
Qin Muxue fell into deep thought. If it wasn’t Sheng Xingyuan who saved her at that time, then who was it that saved her?
Now the matter has become a mystery, and she will never know the truth of the matter again. There is no way to investigate. Besides, the man may have died in the natural disaster, and it can only become a regret in her heart.
She raised her eyes and looked seriously at the man in front of her, and relaxed her guard against him a little. His willingness to tell her the truth at least proved that he was not an imposter and his character was still honest.
Thinking back to the time in school, he was out of reach, the school hunk with excellent grades, but now he has become a professor in the eyes of others, "Should I call you Professor Sheng now?"
"Thank you for your praise. I was promoted to professor only because of my research achievement. If we were still on campus, I would have to wait until I was in my thirties to become a professor." He could feel that the other party had relaxed a lot, so he tried to ask, "What do you think about the matter I mentioned before?"
"I promise you that I can be your experimental subject, but Manman can't. I haven't mentioned this to her."
"You don't want her to attend?"
"She's my best friend, and I don't want her to be in any danger, even the slightest bit. That should be enough for you, right?"
"I respect your opinion. Indeed, having you is enough for me for now. Do you have any other requests? I can help you within my ability." He glanced at everything here. It didn't seem to have any signs of habitation. "If you are not satisfied with the residence, I can also arrange a higher-end apartment for you. It is bigger and much quieter than this one."
"I don't have any requirements for where to live. This place is already very good. I hope you can ensure that my friends can live safely in the base. Also, regarding the points..."
"No problem. I can also take care of their work here. As for points, I have a lot that I can't use up. Giving them some will be enough for them to stay here for the rest of their days."
It was obvious that he could have made her his experimental subject without being so nice to her, but Sheng Xingyuan did not choose that approach. Instead, he tried his best to meet all her demands. He knew that this was not as simple as repaying a favor, but Sheng Xingyuan intended to ignore this issue from the bottom of his heart.
"Then thank you. Also, you said before that you were willing to show me the secret reports of the experiments you participated in. Does that count?" She confirmed again.
"Okay, but I can't show it to you directly. You have to know that a lot of it is confidential. But I will tell you in another way."
"Either way, I believe that if you just let me know, I will definitely be of some benefit to you."
"good."
The contract between the two was reached, and Qin Muxue felt relieved.
"Oh, about Alan."
"Regarding the matter of Subject No. 3, I really want to help him. As a test subject, he is already very pitiful. I will try my best to give them a good ending."
Having seen too many experimental subjects have bad endings, he sincerely hopes that they can have a good ending.
When the first batch of experiments began, Sheng Xingyuan was indeed unable to participate. At that time, he was still in school and was just a student. Of course, these were just Qin Muxue's thoughts, and she had no way of seeing the truth of the matter.
"If you don't believe me, I can let you participate in his treatment."
Qin Muxue shook her head. "I'm not qualified, but if you can give Manman such a chance, I will thank you. After all, she now has the ability to heal."
"Healing abilities are indeed very rare. I will seriously consider your suggestion." He answered seriously.
Sheng Xingyuan doesn't seem to have changed much, and still looks like a top student.
"I've been here for so long, I'm a little thirsty, could you please pour me a glass of water?"
"Oh, I'll pour it for you right away." When Qin Muxue took out the cup from the cabinet, she saw the teacup she had prepared for Shi Yan, and her heart sank immediately.
The feeling of sadness suddenly invaded her heart, and she squatted on the ground sadly. Why, why did Shi Yan have to leave? If she had been more careful and not hurt, would Shi Yan not have left?
This thought has actually been lingering in her mind, but she has been suppressing the sadness in her heart.
Sheng Xingyuan didn't see her move for a long time, so he stood up and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Seeing Qin Muxue squatting in the corner, he felt a little nervous, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"No, I just feel a little sad." She raised her head, tears already in her eyes.
He had seen her playful, arrogant, and disregarding her image, but this was the first time he saw her cry like this.
"I just asked you to pour me a glass of water. You don't have to be so disgusted, right?"
He wanted to help her up, but unexpectedly Qin Muxue dodged as if in response to stress, and even slapped his hand away, "Don't touch me."
Even the most powerful people can have soft spots, Sheng Xingyuan suddenly had this thought in his mind. He had not expected that she would agree to him so easily. If a person has someone he worries about, there is no way he can become indestructible.
"I'm sorry." Qin Muxue apologized, "I got a little emotional."
Sheng Xingyuan put his hand down and returned to his previous smile, "It's okay, maybe I can include it in my observation report on you."
"There's absolutely no need for that. This is just a normal human emotion. Don't you have any emotions?" It took her a minute to finally recover to her original state. She poured the water and placed it in front of Shen Sheng Xingyuan.
"Ever since I can remember, I have been involved in family struggles. I originally wanted to get rid of them through studying, but I didn't expect to be involved in it in the end. I don't have time to think about emotional issues, and naturally I don't understand those normal emotions." He explained everything calmly. He has always been fair and selfless, but when facing this woman, he suddenly became selfish, and he didn't know how to explain it.
"Okay, let's get down to business. When will we start?"
"Anytime, whenever you're ready."
"Okay, if you do everything you promised me, then we'll get started."
"You really can't afford to suffer any loss." Sheng Xingyuan shook his head helplessly. He took a sip of water and decided to finish all those things immediately.
"Thank you for letting me."
During the period that followed, Wu Yong was suddenly assigned to work in a factory. It was relatively simple work, but he earned quite a few points. He had never thought that such a good thing could happen to him.
The two children adopted by Manman were soon arranged into the best class in the kindergarten, and all points were exempted. After waking up and hearing the news, Manman felt a little strange. How could such a good thing happen? But it really happened in reality.
Qu Yanbai still stayed in the special power team, but was promoted to the captain of the third team and had a few more subordinates. Manman was transferred to the laboratory. At that time, she felt strange why the hospital let her go, and because of her unreasonable behavior at that time, it seemed that she was complained to the higher-ups. She should have been punished, but these punishments were all left unresolved. The patients' families who had been pestering her seemed to have disappeared.
Grandma Qu is still in good health and was arranged to work in the cafeteria. Originally, she could not work according to her age, but because she had been drinking elixirs and spring water for a long time, she was as brisk as those in their 50s. She looks younger and younger. The meals cooked by Grandma Qu are very popular. Even the vegetarian dishes are delicious and have received unanimous praise from everyone.
Wu You was also elected as the monitor of the special ability class and was welcomed by his classmates. Everything seemed to be moving in a good direction...
