Chapter 216 No Need to Be Loved

"Honey, don't get excited. Let's think about it. Assuming that [Time Freeze] is really the key for me to enter the time gap, will I be in trouble if I go in now? What if Xiao Chou finds me and blocks this way of entry?" Lou Su naturally believed in Chu Xihen's judgment, but he felt that he could not rashly carry out the experiment.

Chu Xihen calmed down, "You are right, we need to make a plan first, why don't we go find Dr. Xie to discuss it together?"

"Let's go." Lou Su stood up while clearing the dishes on the table.

After going out, Lou Su first sent the plates and bowls to the kitchen, and then went down to the -11th floor with Chu Xihen to find Xie Ling.

While going downstairs, Lou Su told Chu Xihen about the structure of the HBP Research Institute back then.

"I guessed it." Chu Xihen said.

Knowing that the HBP Institute had started cultivating Xiao Chou more than 20 years ago, he guessed the role of the minus ten layers to the minus one layer.

Lou Su didn't say anything else, but just held Chu Xihen's hand tightly.

It was also the stone that the researchers brought back from the top of Baishan Mountain, or even the same stone. However, because Chu Xihen had no aggressiveness in the embryonic stage, the researchers gave up on him and instead carefully cultivated the despair that would lead the whole world to destruction.

"Since I became conscious, I have always heard a lot of sounds around me, such as the daily lives of ordinary people, quarreling couples, grandmothers buying groceries, and children's laughter. I once thought that I was just an ordinary human being. When I was very young, all I saw every day were researchers and other experimental subjects. Apart from the daily experimental projects and the brief exchanges between researchers during routine examinations, I didn't even hear other people talking."

"At first I was confused. Why was there so much excitement around me when I was a baby, but as I grew up, there was no one around me. No one talked to me until I was seven years old. Because every year I spent in the institute, I would have half a day of entertainment, which was to go to a room to make origami, so I remember it very clearly."

"That year, four-year-old Qieqi came to the research institute. Although she was young, she was the most outstanding among the second-generation test subjects. After the first round of experiments, she stimulated a kind of potential. Potential is actually similar to the current superpowers, but the potential stimulated by drugs has no attributes. It is based on the enhancement of physical functions, such as strength, speed, vision, etc...."

"She is different from me. She was brought back from the outside world by researchers. She is very domineering in the institute. Researchers have to play with her and talk to her. After she came, the entire negative eleventh floor became lively. She especially likes to come to me for trouble because she heard that I am the most powerful among the first generation of test subjects. She is very dissatisfied because after the potential of each test subject is stimulated, there will be a competition with me every five years."

What Chu Xichen said before that the institute holds a competition every five years is actually not accurate. For other test subjects, it is a competition every five years, but for Chu Xichen, he is the tool to test whether other test subjects are qualified or not.

"The researcher who was in charge of looking after me told me that if I lost the competition, I would die. It seemed that from the moment I became conscious, I knew that I couldn't die, and I didn't want to die, so I never lost. Shortly before I was about to compete with Qiqi, I heard the researchers' discussion. I then learned that the test subjects who lost the competition with me would be abandoned by the institute. They would be expelled from the institute, and not only would they have to face the institute's pursuit, but they would also die from the collapse of their body functions due to the loss of drug support."

"Qi Qie is the first living being I have seen in all these years at the institute. I didn't want her to be abandoned by the institute because she lost to me in the competition, so I deliberately lost the competition. Another reason was that I really wanted to see the outside of the institute."

"I left graduate school when I was twelve, saw this bustling world, finished the game, met a lot of people, and now I have you by my side. I think this short life hasn't been that bad, right?"

After Chu Xihen said all this, he turned around and asked Lou Su seriously.

"Well, it sounds very colorful." Lou Su praised from the bottom of his heart. If it weren't for the end of the world, Chu Xihen's life could be said to be more exciting and thrilling than a carefully choreographed movie.

The elevator had already reached the -11th floor for a while, but no one used it, and they didn't press the door open button. They just stood in the elevator and talked.

"So don't put on such a bad face just because you heard about my life in the institute. I'm living a good life and don't need to be pitied." Chu Xihen poked Lou Su's heart with his finger, "Remember my words in your heart, don't let Xiao Chou's despair dominate your mind because of me, understand?"

Lou Su was poked by him so hard that his back was pressed against the wall of the elevator. Like a quail, he nodded obediently, "Got it!"

Chu Xihen then pressed the door-opening button and pulled Lou Su out of the elevator.

In the corridor, Chu Xihen saw the training of the psychics through the small transparent window on the door.

But he couldn't understand, "What kind of training is this?"

In the room, every superpower was wearing headphones and watching TV. It was more like leisure and entertainment than training.

Lou Su explained to him, "This is called desensitization training. They watch what they fear the most in their hearts, over and over again, so that they become immune to it. The next time they are eroded by the despair released by Xiao Chou, they will not collapse so easily."

This method is the same as the one Chu Xihen used in the elevator just now when he asked Lou Su to remember what he said.

Xie Ling is researching in his own laboratory how to quickly unleash the potential of psychics, so that most people's psychic abilities can reach level nine before the next dungeon arrives.

The laboratory opposite to his that was damaged by the little Epiphyllum was also repaired by the psychic, and now it looks like new without any trace of damage.

When Lou Su knocked on the door, they saw Bai Jinli was there too.

Because Xie Ling didn't fully understand what happened in this copy, and didn't want to disturb Lou Su and Chu Xihen's world of two, he could only look for Bai Jinli again and again.

Bai Jinli had already gone through "desensitization training" in the dungeon, and Xie Ling had not arranged for him to go out and rescue people with special abilities, so he had quite a bit of free time.

"Are you two here to ask for someone, or do you have something to say?" Xie Ling looked at his own test bench and said to the two people, "Lingyao and his team are very efficient in rescuing people with special abilities. We can't return them to you for the time being."

There are still snow monsters appearing outside. Since yesterday, Xie Ling has sent some determined people with high-level superpowers to search for the surviving superpowers outside. He wants to gather everyone in the Superpower Bureau to help him control the situation.

Ling Yao can transform into a white tiger and fly without touching the ground, so he can easily avoid snow monsters when he sees them. With the cooperation of Chu Xichi and Gu Xingxie, the three of them are now the main force of the temporary search and rescue team.

"Xi Hen has made some new discoveries and came to discuss them with Dr. Xie." Lou Su said.

"What new discovery?" Hearing this, Xie Ling became interested and quickly stopped what he was doing.
