Chapter 29 Chapter 29 Cross was very efficient. That day...
Cross was very efficient. That night, Ren Xiaoyue followed Cross out of the underground laboratory. She had nothing in her hands, but Cross had a small suitcase.
Ren Xiaoyue stared at the box in Cross's hand and saluted him.
"Don't look at me like that," Cross picked up the box and shook it casually. "It contains necessary materials. I don't want to take them with me. It's a pity that we can't prove our identities without taking anything with us."
Ren Xiaoyue withdrew her gaze and got on the car with Cross that took them to the train station.
At this point in time, it was Ren Xiaoyue's first time to travel far away. She thought about it, and finally sat up straight, looking straight ahead, with a look of no curiosity at all. Cross was like a tour guide, patiently explaining everything outside to Ren Xiaoyue.
Civilian aircraft were invented not long ago in this world, and the means of transportation most people choose for long-distance travel is still trains. There are also teleportation arrays powered by supernatural powers, but due to their high cost, fewer people use them.
After getting off the bus, Ren Xiaoyue followed Cross to check her ticket and get on the bus. Sitting on the sleeper bed in the double room, Ren Xiaoyue was in a daze, doing nothing.
"We will be in Dudra the day after tomorrow." Cross put the suitcase on the ground and said to Ren Xiaoyue.
Two days later, Ren Xiaoyue arrived in Dudra on time. Dudra shows the appearance of a big city. Since traveling through time, Ren Xiaoyue has been wandering around small cities and laboratories. This is her first time in the most prosperous city in the world.
Dudra was already very close to the modern city she had been in before she crossed over. Tall buildings, wide streets, huge electronic screens, and cars coming and going. For a moment, Ren Xiaoyue thought she had traveled back in time.
After getting off the train, they boarded another car that took them to the laboratory without stopping. Cross once again took on the role of tour guide and explained to Ren Xiaoyue. Cross never stopped Ren Xiaoyue from understanding the world, but he would not deliberately create opportunities for Ren Xiaoyue to understand the world.
Just like now, he was not stingy in introducing everything outside to Ren Xiaoyue, but he would not take Ren Xiaoyue out for a stroll on purpose.
After three days, they arrived at Dudra's laboratory.
Cross did not rest or engage in unnecessary small talk. After the laboratory confirmed their identities, Cross took Ren Xiaoyue straight to the room where the experimental subjects were held.
As the layers of defense measures were removed, Ren Xiaoyue finally saw the runaway experimental subject.
The subject sat on the cold floor, his hands were bound and his eyes were covered with a black ribbon. She had orange-yellow hair and a face that Ren Xiaoyue found familiar.
This is a smaller version of SuSu.
It seems that her trip back to the past will not be in vain this time. Ren Xiaoyue thought.
-
Ren Xiaoyue was thrown away by Cross.
Generally speaking, Cross would take Ren Xiaoyue to do experiments and ask her to help. Ren Xiaoyue has done everything from recording data to operating instruments.
But this time, Cross did not let Ren Xiaoyue participate in the experiment, he threw Su Su to her. Oh, by the way, Su Su is not called Su Su yet, her name is PB-111.
"111's memory is too chaotic. She read too many memories, causing her to have cognitive impairment. Sometimes she felt like a desk, sometimes she felt like a researcher, and sometimes she felt like a security guard."
"These memories are too troublesome to sort out, so I simply blocked all of her memories. Now she only has some common sense left, and she needs someone to take care of her."
"Compared to those weak researchers, you are more suitable no matter how you think about it, right?" Cross spread his hands irresponsibly.
Ren Xiaoyue stared at Cross without saying anything.
She was struggling between not taking advantage of the plot and being annoyed by the children. However, her hesitation did not interrupt the person in front of her from making a decision. Cross clapped his hands with a smile and made the final decision: "It seems that you have no objection, Sixteen. That's great."
With Ren Xiaoyue's consent, the task of taking care of Susu was thrown on her. She stayed in the empty room to take care of Su Su. Cross followed the director of the laboratory to sort out Su Su's experimental data.
In fact, Ren Xiaoyue had never taken care of a child before, and was a little reluctant to treat children. She gritted her teeth and imitated the way Cross taught her, teaching Su Su step by step.
Fortunately, Susu is an obedient girl. Su Su, who has lost her memories of the past, is unusually well-behaved, like a piece of soft candy that flattens with a poke. The only drawback is that she is too attached to Ren Xiaoyue. If Ren Xiaoyue is not present, it is difficult for her to cooperate with the researchers in the experiment.
Ren Xiaoyue was speechless when she was once again invited to the laboratory because Su Su refused to cooperate with the experiment.
Ren Xiaoyue knew that Su Su was not really that obedient. Su Su's biography records her life experiences. Su Su had an astonishingly good memory before she awakened her special powers. She would never forget something she had seen just by taking a single look.
Her extremely strong memory allows her to instinctively avoid dangers even though she does not understand many things. For example, Susu is obedient in front of Ren Xiaoyue because only when Ren Xiaoyue is around can she take off the blindfold covering her eyes, see things around her, listen to interesting fairy tales, and eat delicious food.
"Sister, are you leaving again?"
One day, when Ren Xiaoyue put down her storybook and was about to leave the room, Su Su grabbed the corner of Ren Xiaoyue's clothes and looked at her eagerly. Ren Xiaoyue touched Su Su's head and, ignoring her expectant look, tied a black ribbon around her eyes.
This ribbon is an item used to suppress Susu's supernatural powers. Normally, Ren Xiaoyue can use her own supernatural powers to suppress Susu. She had to use this belt when she was not with Su Su.
"Sister..." Susu's voice sounded like it was soaked in honey, and she acted coquettishly in a wronged manner.
Ren Xiaoyue did not pause. After tying a knot behind Susu's head with a ribbon, Ren Xiaoyue walked out of the room. Outside the room was Cross, whom she had not seen for a long time.
"Sixteen, the break is over, we have to go back." Cross said.
He leaned against the wall, as if he had been waiting here for a long time. Ren Xiaoyue nodded coldly, without asking what to do with Susu or Cross's recent research.
She didn't ask, but Cross was very positive about it.
Cross said, "This project is over. They can't get the funds they need to continue the research, so they can only use 111. You know 111's situation. After all, she is a semi-finished product that may be scrapped at any time. Before I leave, I will make another adjustment to 111 and limit her ability to physical contact. This will increase her useful life a lot."
Cross took Ren Xiaoyue forward. Cross's superpowers are psychic. He can modify the memory of any creature, and he can also use his superpowers to easily destroy a person's brain. As long as he didn't want anyone to hear their conversation.
"How are you getting along with 111? If you want to bring her back to our place, I can help you." Cross suggested.
"That's not necessary." Ren Xiaoyue said.
Cross shrugged and said bluntly, "I thought you would become friends with her. You are both experimental subjects and both have amnesia. How similar you are. Wouldn't 111's experience have touched you in some way?"
Ren Xiaoyue didn't answer. Cross seemed to have thought of something and laughed inexplicably: "By the way, they have arranged a new guardian for 111. We have to stay for a while before that person arrives. There are no new arrangements during this period, so you can move freely."
"Want to go out for a walk?" Clos paused and turned his head suddenly.
Ren Xiaoyue was not frightened by his sudden turn of head, and said calmly that she didn't want to.
During the time she went back to the past, Ren Xiaoyue played a character who was boring, content with the status quo, and had no spirit of exploration.
Every time facing Cross, Ren Xiaoyue would be glad that she had chosen the character with expressionless face. She wasn't prepared to expose the fact that she was a traitor to anyone, including Cross. If she didn't keep a straight face the whole time, she really wasn't sure she could fool Cross.
Rejected, Cross sighed and complained, "I don't know what's the point of living like this."
Is it interesting that I am a rebellious person and then hunted by the organization? Ren Xiaoyue was speechless.
After this seemingly tentative conversation, Cross did not bring up the matter of going again. Because one day later, Susu's new guardian arrived. Ren Xiaoyue was brought by Cross and followed by a group of researchers to the new guardian.
The new guardian had an ordinary appearance, with the most common brown hair and blue eyes in this land. It seemed that if she glanced away, she would disappear in the crowd and become an ordinary drop of water, never to be found again.
Ren Xiaoyue knows her, and also doesn’t know her. Because she is Su Jin, Su Jin who does not use her superpowers and uses her true appearance.
Ren Xiaoyue only met Su Jin once. No one introduced Su Jin's name to her. She went through the formalities and was led to another room by Cross.
It was a monitoring room, and the room inside the monitoring was where Su Su was.
"Come, sit down, let's watch the show." Cross pulled out two chairs and, surrounded by a group of researchers, unceremoniously invited Ren Xiaoyue to sit down.
Ren Xiaoyue looked at the researchers who looked unhappy and sat next to Cross.
Not long after she sat down, the door of the room being monitored was opened. A person who looked exactly like her walked into the room and walked towards Su Su.
The researchers around seemed to have known that this would happen and were just staring at the surveillance screen intently. Ren Xiaoyue maintained her character and said nothing. Only Cross said "Oh".
Su Jin, disguised as her, gradually approached Su Su. They chatted for a while first, and then Su Jin took out a storybook. Before Su Jin finished the first story, Su Su pushed her away.
"You are not my sister, who are you?"
Su Su's questioning can be heard on the surveillance camera.
Faced with this result, there was a small commotion among the researchers. Cross laughed without giving me face: "Is this the method you've been hiding from me?"
The leading researcher confidently said that it was just a momentary mistake, but unfortunately Su Su in the surveillance video did not give them face. She rejected Su Jin's approach and showed aggressiveness.
Finally, a staff member Su Su knew entered the room and ended the farce.
This incident caused the relationship between the Dudra Experimental Base and Cross to deteriorate. Because after Cross gave a scathing evaluation of their behavior, he considerately said that they could come to him if they really didn't feel right, and that he was kind enough to help clean up the mess.
This attitude can be said to be extremely provocative.
Ren Xiaoyue was once again hated by everyone in the room. The researchers in the monitoring room that day had not been treating them well recently.
"Even if I didn't say anything, they wouldn't be convinced by us." Cross said innocently, "They have doubts about our age to begin with, and they don't want 111 to have too close a relationship with us, so they have long disliked you. I'm just making this clear."
For a moment I couldn't tell whether it was the attitude of the people here towards you that made you unhappy, so you arranged for me to deliberately get close to Su Su.
Ren Xiaoyue pretended to be educated on the surface, but deep down she didn't believe his lies at all.
