"That's it? We've settled it already?" Qiao You was completely bewildered. He hadn't even figured out how to ask Xin Le yet, and it was over so easily?
Su Xia manually closed Qiao You's mouth, "Su Yinchen and His Highness must have already discussed it beforehand."
Qiao You withdrew his gaze. Fine...
“Sir, you can…” Xinle was always unusually careful when interacting with Qiao You and the others, rarely speaking, or rather, almost never speaking.
This time, I mustered up the courage because of Bion.
He heard everyone's conversation just now; he's not completely ignorant.
If it weren't for him, Bion wouldn't have had to go down this path.
He could remain a respected experimenter on Shirahoshi, with a bright future and be highly valued.
Because of him, he was forced to leave his country and the planet he had always lived on, embarking on a journey of escape.
Qiao You and Su Xia looked at Xin Le together. "Xin Le, what do you want to say?"
"Don't be afraid, speak slowly."
Xinle took several deep breaths to calm down a bit. "Can you take me to find Bion?"
“I escaped from Shirahoshi, and Bion… was just helping me.”
Xinle bit her lip lightly, as if she had made up her mind. "I am a merman, and my legs are... I got them through surgery."
After revealing her biggest secret, Xinle felt much more relaxed. "I'm more useful to you now."
Bion has saved him more than once; he can't always hide behind Bion.
"I can cooperate with you in all the experiments, I just hope you won't hurt Bion."
For Xinle, the phrase "being a test subject" was all too familiar.
This is something he has been doing ever since he can remember; he is very skilled at it and has become accustomed to it.
Although Qiao You and Su Xia had already made some guesses, it still lacked a sense of authenticity compared to Xin Le saying it himself.
Mermaid's tail turned into legs? This was something Su Xia had never imagined. How could a tail turn into legs?
Youyou could do it too, but that's an exception! Youyou is good at everything, so it's not strange for her to become human.
Qiao You was stunned for a while before she found her voice, "Let's go find my brother."
Xinle stood up awkwardly and followed Qiao You and Su Xia to the study.
Su Xia was held in Qiao You's arms and unceremoniously knocked on the door with her tail.
The people inside the room listened to Bion's explanation with extremely solemn expressions; the situation of the Alliance was more complicated than they had imagined.
Helian Jue had considered the possibility of an alliance, and several times he wanted to contact the undercover agents, but he held back, feeling that the most critical period had not yet arrived.
After hearing Bion's account, Helian Jue felt even more fortunate.
"As far as I know, besides the mermaid transformation experiment on White Star and the species hybridization experiment on Insect Star, there are two other experiments."
"Human gene optimization, chip implantation."
"But I don't know which planet these two experiments will take place on."
Bion spilled everything he knew, and once the topic was brought up, he held nothing back.
In this account, Bion became increasingly convinced of his decision to leave.
All of these experiments violate ethics and harm humanity, and are especially catastrophic for ordinary species.
They had no right to choose, no right to say no; they could only be arranged for and sacrificed.
Adrian's hands, which were resting on his lap, gradually tightened. His father had died tragically because he was accused of a fabricated crime for being dissatisfied with the policies proposed by the league's top brass.
Bion continued, "Compared to the mermaid transformation experiments on White Star, the species hybridization on Insect Star started much earlier."
"Three years ago, there was still a route from Bai Xing to Zun Xing, but that route was blocked afterward, and Zun Xing became an isolated star. Ordinary people had no idea about the current situation of Zun Xing."
No sooner had Bion finished speaking than Helian Jue immediately asked, "When did the species hybridization experiments on the Insect Planet begin?"
"Even earlier than White Star, at least twenty years ago." Bion didn't know the exact time either, but estimated it wouldn't be short.
Adrian picked up the conversation, "What species are you mixing the human body with?"
Bion pursed his lips slightly, paused for a long while, and then said, "All."
The two words instantly silenced everyone in the study.
The knocking on the door brought everyone back to their senses.
Just as Lin Zhong was about to open the door, Qiao You's voice came through the door, a clear and loud "Brother!"
Lin Zhong immediately stopped in his tracks, and Helian Jue got up to open the door himself.
As soon as the door opened, Qiao You said loudly, "Brother, Xinle has something to say."
Su Yinchen slid forward and took Su Xia from Qiao You's hands.
Su Xia gave Su Yinchen an approving look. Tsk! You have a good eye!
Xinle walked at the very back, first glancing at Bion, and only after confirming that he was safe did she breathe a sigh of relief.
"Xinle, what brings you here?" Bion pulled Xinle to his side and asked anxiously.
“Thank you, Mr. Bion,” Xinle said sincerely. “You were in such a dangerous situation because of me.”
Xinle bowed to Bion and said, "Hello! My original name was 1021."
"1021 is also my experiment number. The name Xinle was given to me by Mr. Bion."
Xinle stood in the center of the study, facing everyone, and recounted his life story.
His parents migrated from the Empire to Whitestar City from the Alliance due to the Alliance's preferential policies.
When they first arrived on White Star, the Alliance provided them with a good environment and everything they needed for daily life, and the merfolk at the time thought they had made the right choice.
Under the various hints from the alliance, the merfolk believed that this place was suitable for living and for reproduction.
