Chapter 24 Under Surveillance

Sheng Shixian froze where he was. He stared at the watch, wary and not moving forward.

The phone on the sink was still vibrating, and after about four or five seconds, the call was automatically connected.

"Hey, can you hear me?"

Pei Du's voice came out from inside, with a steady tone and accompanied by the faint sound of electric current flowing.

Sheng Shixian's gaze paused. He glanced at the only camera in the bathroom, clenched his fingers a few times, and walked towards the area that the camera could monitor.

Pei Du also knew the blind spots he observed.

Sheng Shiyan felt a shudder in his heart. This person was staring at him all the time.

Like a pervert.

The curve of Sheng Shixian's mouth was almost negligible. He picked up the phone watch on the sink. The watch screen showed call mode, and Pei Du's face did not appear.

Sheng Shixian tightly grasped the silicone strap on his watch and hummed, "I can hear it."

The air across the street was silent, yet it still carried the sound of flowing electricity.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, just listening to your voice." Pei Du sat in the car, leaning back in his chair, sliding his finger across the screen of his mobile phone. He scanned a dozen videos recorded by the surveillance camera, and finally zoomed in on the image of the bathroom.

Sheng Shixian had been hiding behind the toilet for about five or six minutes. Pei Du couldn't see his situation and reasonably suspected that he was up to something.

Gou Qie Tou Sheng expressed doubts about Pei Du's behavior: "What if he really just has diarrhea and is defecating?"

Pei Du ignored Gouqiu and said: "You don't need paper when you have diarrhea."

Sheng Shixian found Pei Du was watching him from the moment he entered the bathroom. He didn't take anything and walked towards a blind spot where the camera couldn't see him with a clear purpose. He knew Pei Du couldn't see him.

Gouqiu Tuosheng snorted: "I never have diarrhea. I don't have a stomach."

Pei Du: "...Shut up."

Sheng Shixian had already walked into Pei Du's field of vision. Pei Du magnified his figure and did not notice anything wrong with him.

Sheng Shixian was still looking down at the phone watch on his hand. When he heard Pei Du's answer, he asked, "Does it sound good?"

Pei Du: ""

"Very magnetic and pleasing to the ear." Pei Du burst out with compliments.

Sheng Shixian believes that this male protagonist still has some charm. His appearance, voice, figure... there is nothing to complain about.

His moral character is not good, and the above-mentioned advantages can only barely make up for his lack of morality.

Sheng Shixian laughed when he heard that: "You also... sound good."

Pei Du turned the folder in his hand, looked at the figure standing still on the screen, and asked: "Have you finished turning the Rubik's Cube?"

"No." Sheng Shi frowned enviously. He had no interest in this topic. In the past period of time, he had only turned out one side of the same color.

Pei Du said, "The prize will probably be lost."

Sheng Shixian hung up the call.

Pei Du: “…”

He looked at his phone, hung up the call enviously, and then stuffed his phone and watch into his shirt pocket.

He picked up the crutches beside him, left the bathroom and returned to his original seat and sat down.

He placed the Rubik's Cube on the table. Sheng Shixian took one of them and continued to spin it with his head down.

Pei Du guessed that Sheng Shixian would be honest for a while, and those who had just been reminded would deliberately restrain themselves in the following period of time in order to create the illusion that they had performed well.

Pei Du continued to watch the video for a few dozen seconds before exiting the video and turning off his phone.

The laboratory was not far from Pei Du. Pei Du parked the car and went inside to change his clothes.

The uniforms in the lab have not changed, they are all white coats, and there are no hats hanging behind the body like hoodies.

With nowhere to hide, it painfully squeezed its body and forced itself into a small ball, which was then put into Pei Du's shirt pocket.

Pei Du said, "I never thought you could grow bigger or smaller."

Gou Qie Tou Sheng sneered twice: "I am a blooming ball, do you have any opinion about it?"

Pei Du raised his eyebrows. Of course he had no objection. He was almost flattened into a ball by just trying to survive.

Pei Du hid Gouqie Tuosheng and went upstairs along the same route as before. Every part of the experimental building was badly damaged, and the light from above was pale, with almost no lighting effect.

This time, the white ball was not encountered.

This situation was within Pei Du's expectations. The white ball was not a fixed object. Since it had consciousness like Gouqiu Tuosheng, it would not stay in the same place without moving.

Pei Du walked past the bathroom and went upstairs to hand in his experimental documents to the director's office. Gong Yuanshen came to the laboratory less often. As he got older, he often came to the laboratory later.

After submitting the information, Pei Du went to his laboratory. He looked at the form in his hand and caught a glimpse of another experimenter walking in.

"Junior Brother Ling Yu." Pei Du called him.

Ling Yu was still wearing the pair of black-framed glasses on his nose. Pei Du didn't see his face clearly last time, but this time he had the chance to observe him carefully.

Ling Yu seemed much more haggard than before. The dark purple under his eyes, his nose was high, and his lips were a little chapped and peeling.

When he saw Pei Du, he said politely, "Hello, Senior Brother."

"Hello." Pei Du did not show his observation too obviously. He looked at the data file in Ling Yu's hand and said, "You came here so early to do experiments."

"Well, this experiment is more important, so I got up early to do it here." Ling Yu pushed the frame of his glasses on his nose, "Senior brother also came early. I heard that he has been in poor health. I didn't expect him to be here at nine o'clock."

Arrived at nine o'clock, two hours late.

Pei Du: “…”

"My working hours are different from yours. I normally work in the afternoon." Pei Du said, "I came here today to get some experimental data."

"Oh...Is that so?" Ling Yu picked up the experiment paper in his hand. "The director said that Senior Brother Pei is very talented and asked me to learn from him. But you have been sick and rarely come here, so I have no chance to see you."

Pei Du said calmly: "It doesn't matter. I'm well now. We can see each other every day in the future."

"Okay." Ling Yu didn't say anything more. He still had to hand the data in his hand to his superior for review. He said a few polite words to Pei Du and then turned and left.

Pei Du watched him walk away, then withdrew his gaze and continued walking towards his laboratory.

Because items had been lost in his laboratory before, Pei Du specially added a lock to the door when he left last time. Pei Du had reported this to the director in advance, and Gong Yuanshen did not raise any objections.

Pei Du opened the door of the laboratory, walked in, observed the placement of all the items, and temporarily confirmed that no one had been in.

Pei Du closed the door and locked it. He walked into the innermost room of the laboratory and took out the research report on Sheng Shixian's flesh and blood.

He deliberately expedited the processing so that the report that would have taken three or four days to test was completed today.

Pei Du looked at the text on the report, which was full of data and densely packed with professional terms.

Blood: There are suspected to be two types of blood cells of unknown origin. The original cells have been severely eroded and have mutated into a third type of special cells.
