Who is it?
Gwen spread her five fingers, and five blue threads instantly shot towards the corner, breaking the fragile floor and revealing the person inside who was clutching their head!
"Wait, wait, wait! Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
The silk thread wrapped around the man's waist and pulled him out of the narrow space. It was amazing that he could hide in such a confined space!
The man appeared to be a researcher, wearing a stained white lab coat and square glasses. His face was filled with terror, and he dared not look up at Gwen.
"Who are you?"
"I...cough cough, this is a hospital, of course I'm a doctor! And who are you?"
"A doctor?" Jiang Ran smiled amusedly. "If you're a doctor, why are you hiding?"
"I have no choice but to hide!" He gave a bitter laugh. "The outside world is already in such a terrible state. If I don't hide here, I'm afraid those nurses will tear me to shreds if I go out!"
"Oh?" Jiang Ran first poked her own head, then pointed at his head. "Do you think I look like an idiot?"
"No, no, no! I really didn't lie to you!"
"Those nurses outside have been looking like this for a while now, are you just going to hide here and keep fooling people?"
"I advise you to tell the truth!" Gwen brandished her large scissors. "Otherwise, I'll just sever one of your legs in a flash! You'd better watch out!"
The man instinctively shrank back.
“You’re one of the researchers involved in that project, aren’t you?” Jiang Ran’s gaze was like an arrow fixed on the man. “You know what project I’m talking about. You think I don’t know anything about how I managed to find my way here?”
"Judging from your appearance, you must have just returned to this hospital and happened to run into us, so you hid there beforehand, hoping to continue your research on that beastly man after we left?"
Beads of sweat appeared on the man's forehead, and he stammered, "What...what are you talking about? I don't know, I really don't know!"
"You're quite professional, aren't you? You won't even say something like this?" Jiang Ran slowly walked to the toolbox, took out a scalpel, and then flicked it!
The scalpel pierced the man's palm with the precision of a flying knife!
"ah!"
The man let out a shrill scream, a flash of hatred crossing his eyes, which he quickly concealed, and instead looked at Jiang Ran with a pitiful expression.
"What...what exactly do you want to ask? I don't know anything! Ah!"
Another scalpel was precisely inserted into his other palm!
Jiang Ran, holding another scalpel in her hand, walked up to him.
"I'll give you one chance. Talk it out, and we'll all be happy. Don't, and I'll make you suffer a terrible death." Jiang Ran's gaze was icy, and combined with the low temperature in the room, the chill emanating from the man went straight to the top of your head!
"If you still tell me you don't know now, then you really don't take me seriously. So your next words will determine your fate."
Jiang Ran slowly moved the scalpel in her hand to the man's neck, gently drawing a thin line of blood.
"I'll talk, I'll talk!"
The man's body trembled violently. Gwen tightened the threads, rendering him unable to move. After all, this guy was just a researcher. He might be able to tough it out until he suffered real hardship, but expecting him to keep his mouth shut would be difficult.
"This is the site of genetic experiments. We alter the genes of infants to make them grow up quickly and possess superhuman strength. However, some data discrepancies have made them somewhat mentally challenged. But it doesn't matter; we have countless test subjects like this. This particular subject just lived a little longer, so it was kept..."
"I came back here today to check on the progress of the research and pick up a few things. That's all. I'm just a small fry, a gofer. I don't know anything more confidential!"
What is the progress of the research?
Jiang Ran sensed something unusual in the man's words!
According to the setting, this should be a long-abandoned hospital. Even if someone conducted inhumane research here before, it should have stopped as the hospital fell into disrepair. Judging from the dusty equipment, no one has been here for a long time.
But the man said he wanted to come back to check on the research progress? This doesn't match any of the clues. So even if the hospital is abandoned and the research seems to have stopped, is it actually still going on?
What are you looking for?
"This... I don't know either! No! Don't do anything! I really don't know what we're looking for, but they told me the location and asked me to go get it! I can take you there!"
Jiang Ran searched his body and quickly found a key.
Gwen released the guy, but left a strand of thread wrapped around his leg to make sure he couldn't escape.
“Then lead the way.” Jiang Ran smiled “kindly” at him. “If you’re a smart person, you should know what to do.”
The man swallowed hard. "Brother, after I lead you to that thing, can you guarantee my safety? I can even reveal more secrets to you! Just spare my life!"
"Enough with the nonsense, just take us to that place!"
"Okay, okay!"
Jiang Ran kicked the guy before he finally took shaky steps out of the room, looking left and right in the corridor.
"We need to be careful of those nurses, those things can kill!"
The man had barely finished speaking when he saw the nurse wandering in the corridor! This terrified him. The moment the nurse spotted him, she rushed over. But as Jiang Ran followed her out, the nurse turned around and disappeared in a couple of seconds.
"Oh, this..."
At that moment, the man felt as if his cerebellum had shrunk.
"Alright, stop spacing out and lead the way!"
Genetic modification reminded Jiang Ran of the "perfect" life sought in those two places in the previous instance. The more he learned about the long history, the more he felt that human lifespan was so short, which is why some people pursued "immortality" at all costs.
The message conveyed in these instances may be the philosophy of the gods who created them. In fact, it's not just these two instances; in the previous "Abyss Cruise," Captain Planck was also a member who was madly pursuing immortality.
Led by the man, the three entered the elevator again, and the man pressed the button for the first floor.
"What we need is in the research and development lab on the first floor."
After the elevator reached the first floor, the man stepped out and a bullet flew straight at him, blowing his head off!
