Chapter 144 Interstellar Orphan (4)
"Is this the experimental subject we discovered abnormal yesterday? Although he completed the instructions we issued, his behavior showed that he retained some consciousness, while the EEG test showed that his brain waves were completely normal?"
"Yes, number WT27-111-F. She's receiving the fourth-phase experimental drug 'Suspension'."
"...I've looked at the files and see she has three organ transplants. Have you considered that the microcurrent from the mechanical organs might be affecting her nervous system?"
"There's currently no evidence that the problem lies with the robotic organ. Furthermore, there were 876 people who received the same batch of medication, 30% of whom had received robotic organ transplants. However, she was the only one to experience this condition."
"Before she started taking the medication, her brain nerves and mental state were normal, right?"
"Yes. Before participating in the project, all her indicators were normal. She could speak, exhibited resistance, and was able to take care of herself in daily life. Her self-awareness was determined to be intact. For a project as important as 'Hanging Thread,' we were extremely cautious in selecting the test subjects."
"This is interesting..."
In the chaos, Shisui vaguely heard several voices talking.
She opened her eyes and found herself transferred back to the Blue Man's laboratory.
But this time, in addition to him, there were several more researchers wearing protective clothing like him.
The blue-skinned man stood at the edge of the team, his movements restrained. It was obvious that his status was the lowest among this group of people.
Shisui was tied to a laboratory chair, with her hands, feet, head and neck bound, making her completely unable to move.
He also wore a helmet on his head to detect brain waves.
The surgical light above her head was so dazzling that she couldn't help but squint.
“She moved…!”
The researchers all gathered around to watch her, the one-in-a-million experimental subject.
Standing at the front of the team was an extremely short man. As he watched, he actually pulled off his goggles!
"Dr. Fox!!" the blue man shouted nervously, "Although the laboratory is a sterile environment, for safety reasons--"
The little man, respectfully called Dr. Fox, glared fiercely at the blue man.
The blue-skinned man immediately shut his mouth and dared not speak.
Dr. Fox didn't know which galaxy this creature came from. He was short and stocky, with wrinkles all over his light yellow skin and a pair of big black eyes... He looked like a pug.
"Don't I know better than you whether there's danger or not?! You guys, you always make a fuss when something goes wrong... Remember what I taught you? In an experiment, the scariest thing isn't bad news, but no news! Our project has reached the fourth stage, and there haven't been any breakthroughs. Now, finally, there's a little surprise. I can't contain my joy!"
His voice was sharp and thin, and the end of his words trembled slightly.
This kind of person is very stubborn, or in other words, a bit perverted. They may be obsessed with things they care about to the point of madness.
Dr. Fox's approach is much more direct and rough than that of the cautious blue man.
He stared at Tokiho's face and asked bluntly, "Can you speak?"
And she looked straight into his eyes which were like black holes.
From his previous conversation with the blue-skinned man, Shisui learned that the "Suspension Line" project needed a breakthrough...
This person can be used!
So she replied cleanly: "Yes."
"Do you know your name?"
WT27-111-F
"That's right!" Dr. Fox blinked his eyes. "Tell me, what are you thinking about right now?"
He is really good at finding problems, much better than the blue man.
Tokiho's answer had to arouse his interest, but also not appear too thoughtful or aggressive... so that the other party would let down his guard.
"I was wondering... who are you?" Shi Sui said with a frown, "I don't know you."
"Hehehe~~~ Interesting, interesting!!"
Dr. Fox became excited. Under the shocked gazes of his colleagues, he pressed the button of the experimental chair and opened the handcuffs and shackles that bound Shi Sui.
This is not the end yet.
He turned around again, took out a pistol and put it in Shisui's hand.
"My name is Fox, and I'm the leader of the research base... You, on the other hand, must follow my orders... Come on! Shoot me!"
The people around exclaimed in unison, but did not dare to say anything.
But Shi Sui was not panicked at all.
She continued to pretend.
He picked up the gun, fiddled with it a bit, and then said righteously, "I don't know how to use it."
Dr. Fox had an intriguing smile on his face.
He walked up to her and taught her step by step.
"This is a laser gun. You have to open the safety buckle first, then push the energy tank to 80%... Oh, right, when you hear a click, it means it's locked. Then just press the launch button here..."
Dr. Fox held Tokiho's hand, raised his gun, and fired a shot at the wall.
A red laser beam shot out from the muzzle, burning a hole 3 cm in diameter in the wall.
"You know how to use this gun now, right?"
Fox asked Shisui "lovingly".
Shisui nodded, took the gun, and pointed it at Fox.
Then he pressed the "fire" button without hesitation!
...But instead of a laser being fired from the muzzle, a beeping alarm sounded - insufficient energy.
Except for the two parties involved, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
After firing the last shot, Tokiho actually noticed a red light on the energy tank of the gunstock, indicating that the fuel was exhausted.
She also knew that even if she fired the first shot, Fox's protective suit would be able to block it.
But since he wanted to test her, she would just play along with him to the end!!
Shisui's brain waves have always been very stable.
Dr. Fox was quite satisfied with this. He laughed heartily and talked enthusiastically with his men.
"You know what? Her performance is very close to what 'Hanging Thread' wants to achieve... She has lost her self-awareness, yet retains the ability to move and learn, and obeys orders with absolute obedience. This... is the perfect puppet!"
"But..." the blue man asked with a guilty conscience, "The drug used on her will only destroy the amygdala, hypothalamus, and other areas of the brain that control memory and emotion. As for retaining her learning ability... isn't that planned to be achieved in Phase 5? The drugs are still under development..."
Dr. Fox chuckled disdainfully. "You, just focus on your research! You won't understand even if I tell you!"
"Send her to my lab!" he ordered excitedly. "With this test subject, my promotion is guaranteed...!"
Scientific research, scientific research, in the end, isn't it all just about serving power?!
