A glimmer of hope flashed in Shatang's tearful eyes, as if she was afraid that everything in front of her would suddenly disappear like a dream. She stretched out her hand tremblingly, but when it was only a few millimeters away from Chen Cheng's palm, she began to shrink back.
Chen Cheng suddenly stretched out his hand and took the initiative to grab Shatang's slender hand that was withdrawing backwards. The coldness from her hand made Chen Cheng's heart ache.
With a little force, Chen Cheng pulled Shatang up. Looking at Shatang who was buried in silence, Chen Cheng gently stroked the top of Shatang's head, feeling the girl's slightly trembling body, and said with a faint smile: "Welcome home, Shatang."
The next moment, Shatang, who was sobbing silently, suddenly threw herself into Shen Cheng's arms.
Chen Cheng, who didn't react for a moment, dropped the umbrella to the ground. Only then did he realize that the rain had stopped. The moon in the sky was like a bright disk, and the stars were everywhere, shining all over the sky.
As if it had been agreed in advance, the moment Sugar pounced, all the street lights on the street lit up at the same time.
The dim lights illuminated the streets, which appeared brighter than usual due to the reflections from the puddles on the ground, and were reflected in the starry sky above.
“Wu… Wuuuu… Wuuuuu… Wuuuuu…”
Burying her head in Chen Cheng's chest, her slender arms held him tightly, tears streaming down her face as she cried loudly, her sobs incessant. She looked pitiful and distressing.
Coming back to his senses from his momentary bewilderment, Chen Cheng silently stretched out his hands to hug Shatang, gently stroking Shatang's soft hair and back, doing his best to give Shatang the greatest comfort.
—Welcome home, Sugar. From now on, don't go anywhere else...
…
Beijing, Institute of Biological Sciences.
As a confidential research institute of China, the defense here can be described as a guard post every five steps and a sentry every ten steps.
After passing through layers of checkpoints, the central research institute of the Institute of Biological Sciences is located in the innermost part of the Institute of Biological Sciences.
Watching the busy scene of people in white coats rushing back and forth, Shao Silin folded his arms with narrowed eyes and asked Liu Su beside him with a smile: "What do you think the matching rate of Boss Shen's Fantasy Asia gene is?"
"...definitely not low." Liusu replied confidently based on her intuition.
"Your intuition is always accurate, and I feel the same way." Shrugging, Shao Silin turned his gaze to the huge projection screen in the center of the research institute.
Below the projection screen is a relatively small black stand with two slots on it.
In one of the slots was a tube of emerald green liquid, and in the other slot was a tube of red blood - that was the blood that Shao Silin had drawn from Shen Cheng before leaving.
The black booth was surrounded by computers of the same model. A group of researchers sat behind the computers with serious expressions. Only a very conspicuous woman stood in the middle.
The reason why the woman's appearance is so conspicuous is that she has two clusters of brown avian feathers on her head.
Based on this, it can be inferred that this woman should be a Huanya. The work badge on the left chest of her white coat clearly has two big words on it: Yu Lan.
"Blood information has been received."
"The Cat Fantasy Gene Reagent has been connected."
"The connection is complete."
“You can start matching at any time.”
With a slight nod, Yu Lan's voice, as calm as water, spread throughout the entire research institute: "Pairing begins."
"Beep—" As soon as she finished speaking, a researcher next to her reached out and pressed a button. The central projection screen immediately lit up, displaying a monotonous value: 0%.
The next moment, the value began to jump and rise rapidly.
“10%.”
“20%.”
“30%.”
“…”
"60%! Very good, it has reached the fitness standard!" A researcher was so excited that he almost stood up.
You know, every fit person is a very important fighting force for the Institute of Biological Sciences.
Looking at the number that was still rising, Liusu subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Although her intuition told her that Shen Cheng definitely had the qualifications to become an adaptable person, it was no exaggeration to say that humans with a gene matching rate of over 60% with Huan Ya were one in a million, and no one dared to be 100% sure.
"Come to think of it, what was your genetic matching rate back then?"
"82%—he's one of the top adaptables at the Institute of Biological Sciences. It's a shame he's an Owl Phantom Adaptable with little combat power... What's wrong with you?"
Seeing Liusu's eyes suddenly become dull when looking at the projection screen, Shao Silin turned to look at the projection screen with a puzzled look.
Seeing the numbers still jumping on the projection screen, Shao Silin also froze in place. In the end, thousands of words merged into a curse that was extremely inconsistent with his style: "Fuck..."
“80%!”
"Report, the genetic matching rate has exceeded 90%!"
The faces of all the researchers in the research institute, including Yu Lan, became dull, and only the trembling voice of the researcher who was counting echoed in the room for a long time.
In the end, the number on the projection screen stayed at 97%!
The research institute was silent for about a quarter of an hour before Yu Lan broke the silence with an incredulous voice: "Who...did you mix up the blood of this special agent with that of a cat phantom? Or is this special agent actually a cat phantom?"
"Report... Report, we have repeatedly confirmed the blood on the stage before matching. It is undoubtedly the blood of new special agent Shen Cheng. Moreover, according to the blood test report, he is a pure human male and does not carry any Phantom Asian genes."
“…”
The research institute fell silent again. Equipment problems? Impossible! The equipment here is all high-tech, cutting-edge equipment developed at great expense by the nation. Such a problem is absolutely impossible!
"...Next, switch to Inu Genya's genetic reagent for matching. Also, print out a copy of all the information about this special agent named Chen Cheng for me."
After coming back to his senses from his daze, Yu Lan immediately issued this order.
…
I opened my eyes hazily, bent over slightly to touch the phone beside my pillow, and at this moment, a faint scent of grass lingered on my nose.
Chen Cheng regained his composure, lowered his head and took a closer look, only to see that Shatang was sleeping in his quilt at this moment, her head resting on his chest, breathing evenly, sleeping very soundly.
Chen Cheng, whose head was aching, panicked and forced himself to get up. Seeing that he and Shatang were neatly dressed, he breathed a sigh of relief, picked up his phone, and got out of bed quietly.
Fortunately, he was not executed first.
The time on the phone was a little after six ten. During this time, Cheese and Lin Yuhui were not awake yet. Looking at the clear sky outside, Chen Cheng changed his clothes, washed up briefly, and went out.
After all, I'm still worried about that Ragdoll cat girl...
