Chapter 101 Chip - You've Never Seen Her at Her Sexiest.
Sang Li's gaze pierced through a mist, gradually coalescing into a vast, cold laboratory.
It's not a hallucination.
It's more like a mirage.
It wasn't my imagination.
Sang Li knew very well that it was real.
There seemed to be a misty atmosphere there, as if it were built on an island.
It should be a laboratory-like building.
The lights were bright, the equipment was sophisticated, and the silver-white instruments gleamed with a cold light under the shadows.
Her gaze was fixed on the center of the laboratory, where many researchers were busy going back and forth.
Then, she saw two men escorting a thin figure into a dark room.
Sang Li felt the person was familiar and followed him closely with her eyes.
It seems she really saw it.
How could that be?
This is.
She looked much older than I remembered, and the fine lines around her eyes spoke of the weight of time.
He Chen's ankle was locked in an electronic shackle that was flashing with a faint light.
She didn't resist when she was lifted up, and seemed to have no strength to resist.
Why are there shackles?
Didn't my own mother claim that she got divorced and went abroad to have a good time?
Sudden.
Beep beep beep.
Password is being entered.
Then, the laboratory door slowly opened with the click of heavy locks.
The cold wind and the outside air rushed in, stirring the recording paper on the instrument.
Amidst the interplay of light and shadow at the entrance, four figures stood side by side.
Lu Jin, Amber, Chi Du... and himself.
Sang Li suddenly felt a strange sense of disorientation.
It was as if they existed simultaneously at the entrance and in the laboratory, their eyes locked on each other.
Without hesitation.
Standing next to Lu Jin, Sang Li raised her gun faster than she could think.
The bullet pierced the forehead of the lab technician next to He Chen, and blood flashed along with the light spots on the data screen.
The laboratory fell into dead silence instantly, and the gasps were abruptly cut off by the fear in their throats.
He Chen didn't look up, seemingly exhausted.
However, Sang Li's breathing in the picture was very steady, as if the action of pulling the trigger had been rehearsed in her mind a million times.
"Mom, I've come to see you."
***
The lights deep inside the laboratory were a cold white, like a layer of inhuman ice.
Lu Jin stood in the light, decisively unbuttoning his shirt before tossing it onto the metal chair beside him. His muscles tightened in the cold air, revealing a strong physique, yet he also looked somewhat tired.
He has indeed been quite tired lately.
Bai Heng saw it.
Behind Lu Jin were scratch marks from Sang Li's claws.
Oh.
"It's your turn," Bai Heng said.
Lu Jin entered another medical pod.
The inside of the bulkhead shimmered with a pale blue scanning light, as if silently scrutinizing and dissecting his bones and blood.
Lu Jin remained calm: "Come on."
This must have been the time when he trusted Bai Heng the most.
Bai Heng's figure appeared on the control panel screen. He didn't immediately extract anything, but paused for a moment, his brows furrowing slightly: "You and Sang Li are both hiding things from me, Lu Jin. You should know the consequences."
Without knowing the full picture, it's very likely that you'll make a wrong judgment.
Bai Heng is not a gambler; he needs to analyze his current situation and what exactly happened.
It's impossible for Sang Li and Lu Jin to have changed so much in just one day.
Lu Jin lowered his head, pulled the IV line off his arm, and said in a calm tone, as if discussing what to eat for dinner: "There's a problem with the blood. We need to compare all the materials."
“Lu Jin,” Bai Heng’s voice lowered. He rarely spoke in such a serious tone; after all, he was usually gentle. “You must tell me the truth. If the Bureau has always known what we’re doing, then…”
Lu Jin paused for a moment, his gaze falling on his palm.
The interwoven lines on his palm resembled a puzzle that no one wanted to decipher.
It is said that palm lines are unique.
But am I really unique?
"I may be a clone."
As soon as he said it, Lu Jin cursed.
"Yes, that's right, Sang Li doesn't know yet."
Bai Heng did not respond immediately, his gaze tightening slightly.
Lu Jin looked like he was enduring a breakdown.
The man who was usually sharp and arrogant has become a man standing on the edge of an abyss, questioning the meaning of his existence.
but.
clone?
Really?
Bai Heng leaned closer to the screen: "What do you mean?"
“You should check out the COLON experimental sequence. There are many other experimental subjects besides me,” Lu Jin said.
Memory is false.
Everything is.
He was even afraid that his encounter with Sang Li was fake.
It was as if I were living in The Truman Show.
He was just a toy, a doll.
BEAM is a social experiment used for observation.
Bai Heng didn't say anything; he gave Lu Jin half a minute to recover.
He understood Lu Jin's pride, the kind of pride that inherently prevented him from being looked down upon or dependent on others.
That's why the "clone" was like a silent, blunt blow, shattering all his self-worth and efforts over the years.
Because they can all be copied in batches.
Even, it was the attraction and love for Sang Li.
Bai Heng could sense that sense of despondency, which did not come from the body, but from the despair of a person whose spiritual foundation had been shaken.
He even suddenly began to feel a little sympathy for his competitor.
For him, denying the past would be a collapse.
quite a while.
Lu Jin said in a hoarse voice, "Let's begin."
A metal robotic arm hangs down from above, its cold needles gleaming in the dim light, sharp enough to pierce straight into the bone marrow.
When the needle was inserted, Lu Jin didn't even twitch his brow; he merely raised his chin slightly, as if the pain was insignificant to him.
Bai Heng actually admired Lu Jin a little; he knew how that pain traveled from Lu Jin's shoulder and neck all the way down his spine.
It must hurt a lot.
But Sang Li persevered, didn't she?
Blue light slid across the curve of Lu Jin's profile, making his eyes appear as clear as icicles.
He showed no displeasure despite the pain.
It was very calm.
Bai Heng, with a sullen face, tapped the control panel twice with his fingertips, changing the subject.
"The Administration did indeed capture an anomaly capable of replication. In fact, it was cloning, which should have inspired them. Studying an anomaly is much easier than starting from scratch, since it's not ordinary cloning." His voice was steady, but the gravity behind it was palpable. "They conducted experiments, but only on animals. They failed many times, at a high cost, producing mutations, deformities, and magnetic field disturbances. Later, the higher-ups ordered a halt, and it was never used on a large scale."
"Furthermore, the Bureau's regulations are very strict, especially regarding experiments involving ethics, so it's unlikely that they are still under investigation. Therefore, we don't know whether BEAM was fully aware of your situation or only a small part of it."
The blue light inside the cabin shone on Lu Jin's face, making his already cold and handsome features appear even more rugged, but in the dim light, there were many shadows.
He seemed to have listened to everything, but it also seemed that he hadn't been comforted at all.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke: "Don't tell Sang Li."
Bai Heng was slightly taken aback.
Lu Jin's gaze passed over the screen and landed on the medical pod on the other side.
The lights there are whiter and colder.
Sang Li stood in the center, supported by these hands, connected to a dense network of monitoring cables, like branches covered in snow, her whole body drained of color.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, but she didn't open her eyes; her breathing was so shallow it was almost imperceptible.
But my heartbeat is steady; I've gotten used to the pain.
Lu Jin even wondered if Sang Li's high pain tolerance was due to her numerous human experiments.
Originally... I had already taken very good care of Sang Li.
Very cute, very delicate.
Lu Jin's jawline was taut, his emotions restrained.
"How is she?" Lu Jin asked.
"Data is being split, do yours first."
Bai Heng was looking at the screen, but even Lu Jin noticed through the screen that his gaze suddenly changed. His originally focused and calm expression seemed to be broken by a torrent. His eyebrows suddenly pressed down, and his fingers flew across the keyboard, the dense keystrokes sounding like a downpour falling on a metal plate.
Lu Jin narrowed his eyes: "What's wrong?"
This doesn't look good.
“You need surgery now.” Bai Heng’s voice was unusually grave. “There’s something inside your body.”
Lu Jin was silent for half a second, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, then he said in a low voice, "Then let's do it now."
He had a rather vague guess.
If one is a clone, then one will also be monitored and tested, just like Sang Li.
Bai Heng glanced at him for a moment: "There's no anesthetic."
"Take it out." Lu Jin didn't care at all, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.
I've been hurt over the years, haven't I?
He was confident that he could tolerate these things.
Bai Heng suddenly laughed: "Then don't cry."
Lu Jin clicked his tongue: "What, you want to cripple me?"
Bai Heng: "I couldn't be happier. I haven't even settled accounts with you for what you did to Sang Li yet."
Inside the medical cabin, the robotic arm lowered again, revealing a sharp cutter specifically designed for surgery.
A cold light swept across Lu Jin's back, tracing the lines of his muscles.
Suddenly, the skin was cut open, and fresh blood immediately gushed out, the deep red blood meandering down the spine.
Lu Jin: !!!
No anesthesia!
It was like being devoured alive; Bai Heng must be settling a personal score!
The pain made his breath catch in his throat, but he just gritted his teeth and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
However, it's nothing.
I have suffered very serious injuries.
His back was taut, revealing sharp lines, and sweat slid down his shoulder blades, reflecting the cold white light of the cabin. If Sang Li were awake now, she would definitely say that this expression was quite sexy.
Yes, at least that's what Lu Jin thought.
After all, Sang Li kept nagging him that battle-worn men were adorable.
Blood seeped from the bottom of the medical compartment.
While remotely controlling the device, Bai Heng urged in a low voice, "Stay calm, don't move around, just a little more."
The cutting blade touched deeper, and excruciating pain exploded like an electric shock, instantly surging through his nerves. Lu Jin's fingers gripped the armrest tightly, veins bulging, but he didn't utter a single groan; only his Adam's apple bobbed, and his breathing became low and rapid.
Finally, the robotic arm slowly removed a black object the size of a thumb from the incision in his spine.
It drips blood into the air, and its surface is a soft, transparent gel.
Lu Jin recognized him almost immediately.
chip.
BEAM's highest-level technology chip!
“This is a global recording chip,” Lu Jin said.
It will upload this information in real time.
Lu Jin paused, his expression growing even more somber: "Not only physical condition, but also location, coordinates of stops, ambient temperature—everything is being monitored."
This is also the highest-grade chip.
Bai Heng: "So, you've been exposed now."
“In other words,” Bai Heng slowly uttered the last sentence, “from the moment you possessed it, your life, your whereabouts, every breath you took were in someone else’s hands. Including just now. Do you think the Bureau wouldn’t know what you were doing?”
really.
Lu Jin asked, "What about Sang Li? Does she have this kind of thing inside her?"
Bai Heng's fingers were still on the keyboard. His eyes paused slightly as he performed a rapid scan and comparison. The screen flickered with light and shadow on the other side, and his expression became complex.
"No," Bai Heng said slowly.
Lu Jin's shoulders relaxed almost imperceptibly, but the next second, Bai Heng added, "However, there were traces of such a chip embedded in her body before."
The air seemed to be suddenly compressed, and even the low-frequency operating sound inside the cabin became muffled.
“Traces?” Lu Jin’s voice was so low it could drip water.
"The site has healed, and it's impossible to tell when it was removed, but the procedure was clean, leaving almost no tissue damage." Bai Heng's tone was calm. "What's Sang Li's situation?"
“An abnormal body created artificially through human experimentation,” Lu Jin said.
Compared to himself, Sang Li was a super soldier.
Bai Heng suddenly laughed: "That's perfect, they won't be able to catch her. By the way, let me tell you a secret, Sang Li is evolving."
Lu Jin raised his eyes, his brows furrowing slightly.
Bai Heng tapped his fingers on the table, his tone tinged with barely suppressed anxiety: "Her bodily functions are undergoing a complete overhaul; her metabolism, nerve reflexes, and immune system are all iterating at an extremely rapid pace."
Evolution is not a good thing.
An ordinary anomalous entity may never be able to complete a leap in evolution in its lifetime.
Lu Jin smiled knowingly, recalling the scene on the sea at night, where Sang Li faced a large number of abnormal beings with deep, unfathomable eyes that seemed to draw people inch by inch into the deep sea.
He suddenly blurted out, "You haven't seen her at her sexiest. Of course I know she's evolved."
Wasn't it supposed to be dual cultivation?
What if I could really enhance Sang Li's "cultivation"? After all, can't I store energy?
In that instant, she didn't seem like a little girl at all.
Beautiful.
mystery.
Like a surging sea, like the snow-capped mountains.
It's as if they can control and dominate everything.
Bai Heng was taken aback, then cursed, "Get lost."
