Chapter 150 Detoxification "How did you know it was what I wanted?"...
The team that infiltrated the experimental area felt a chill run down their spines.
The lights in the passageway flickered, and the smell of burning and blood made people frown.
"This is impossible. How could BEAM conduct such an experiment?"
One of the team members muttered to himself, his fingers gripping his weapon tightly.
What they saw along the way was not clues to the capture plan, nor Lu Jin's betrayal of the plan, but batches of modified human specimens, and even unfinished experimental subjects still struggling.
That agonizing scream felt like a gash had been ripped open in everyone's heart.
Even worse, they gradually discovered that this operation was a setup.
On the other side, Sang Li leaned against the wall, her arms crossed over her chest, standing quietly amidst the experimental wreckage.
She was pale, with a streak of blood on her forehead, and her eyes gleamed with an almost insane light.
She reached out and gently stroked one of the abnormal beings lying beside her.
The creature was ugly, with cracked skin and bloodshot eyes, but it whimpered softly under her touch, like a child yearning for comfort.
"Good boy, be good when there are a lot of people around," Sang Li murmured softly, her voice incredibly gentle.
The anomalous creature's giant head nodded slightly, then tilted its head back and let out a strange "howl," which was somewhat clumsy and obedient.
Yu Qi watched this scene with mixed feelings: "Let's go find Qian Rujun."
The others were taken aback: "The primary target right now isn't Lu Jin..."
Yu Qi turned to look at the person who had asked the question.
The man felt guilty and turned away.
No one responded.
This matter is beyond their control. Lu Jin isn't the key; Qian Rujun is. Headquarters needs to know his role immediately.
Yu Qi asked, "Are you going to stay here?"
Sang Li nodded: "Don't worry about me."
Yu Qi: "Take good care of yourself."
Although it seems that Sang Li is the most powerful person here.
As Sang Li listened to their footsteps gradually fade into the distance, she lowered her eyelashes, her fingertips still gently stroking the head of the abnormal creature.
"Be good," she repeated, her voice fading into the darkness.
The ugly monster lay obediently on the ground, its limbs tucked up, just like a child.
In the shadows cast by the lights, the eyes of more aberrant beings are quietly lighting up.
Following the residual energy fluctuations, Chi Du finally found Sang Li in a dark corner of the experimental area.
Before she could speak, her shoulders sank, and she was suddenly pulled into a tight embrace.
"What?" Sang Li was taken aback for a moment, then pushed him away. "You want to hug me now?"
Chi Du's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, his hot breath falling on her hair.
"You didn't...use your abilities?"
It's as if it's saying, "Then why can't I hug you?"
His voice was low and hoarse, as if he could no longer suppress it: "I can't control myself. You know, I've never had any self-control in front of you."
Sang Li felt a surge of heat in her heart, and she stopped just as she was about to raise her hand.
"You really are..." she bit her lip, not finishing her sentence.
Yan Jue stared wide-eyed, almost bursting out of his skin on the spot.
Hello!
There are still people here!
Do you think you're dead?!
How can there be such a shameless person!
"Who are you! Let her go!"
Chi Du completely ignored Yan Jue, tightening his arms around her as if he wanted to pull Sang Li into his embrace, and lowered his head to kiss her hair.
Sang Li was choked and could barely breathe. She could only raise her hand to pat his back, as if comforting a homeless stray dog: "Okay, let's go home."
"Hey!" Yan Jue protested, "Then take me with you too!"
Sang Li glanced at him sideways, her eyes saying, "Stop messing around."
"No. You're the evidence. Go and watch your brother."
Yan Jue stomped her foot angrily: "You're so heartless! That night you even tried to climb into my brother's bed!"
"Shut up!" Sang Li's expression changed, and she shouted angrily.
Chi Du raised an eyebrow, his hair falling loosely across his forehead, almost brushing against Sang Li's eyelashes.
Sang Li turned her gaze to Chi Du, her voice soft as if afraid of disturbing the darkness: "Take me away."
Actually, she was just changing the subject, because she felt guilty.
Chi Du stared at her, his gaze deep: "Are you going to ignore Lu Jin?"
Sang Li paused for a moment: "He should stay. The BEAM matter needs his attention. He can't keep running away with me forever."
Chi Du looked at her, as if to make sure she wasn't joking.
The next second, he reached out his hand, his fingertips slicing through the air.
The cracks opened silently between the walls, pitch black like an abyss, while the wind howled from the other side.
"Then let's go." Chi Du said with a smile.
Sang Li nodded and held his hand tightly.
Where to?
"The log cabin, Bai Heng and my mother are still there."
The two figures disappeared into the darkness together, as if swallowed up.
The crack closed behind them, leaving only a gust of cold wind sweeping through the corridor.
Yan Jue: "..."
This time, I've really been left behind again.
Never mind, let's go find Yan Xi.
There will always be opportunities in the future.
The self-destruct program within the experimental area was ultimately intercepted, and all videos, documents, and experimental data were successfully uploaded.
Those densely packed files were exposed without reservation on the headquarters' terminals.
In the chaos, Yu Qi intercepted Qian Rujun, who was trying to escape. The man looked terrified and before he could finish speaking, Yu Qi knocked him unconscious with a heavy blow.
Meanwhile, Lu Jin did not choose to leave, but stood alone among the wreckage and bloodstains, welcoming more BEAM members who arrived.
Experimental data buried for many years gradually surfaced, finally exposing the secrets of that time. That period of darkness was completely brought into the light.
Next, it should be liquidation and review.
***
The night was deep, and the sea breeze, carrying a damp salty scent, pattered against the glass windows of the small house.
Amber stuck many seashells onto the glass window when she was bored.
The bloodshed and roar of the experimental area still seemed to echo in my ears, but at this moment, the creaking wooden floor beneath my feet brought a long-lost sense of peace.
The living room of the small house was softly lit, and Fei Ling was sitting on the sofa, patiently wringing out a towel for He Chen.
He Chen had already drifted off to sleep. Although his complexion wasn't great, it was much better than it had been a few days ago.
Seeing the two of them push the door open and come in, Fei Ling looked up at them and said, "You're back."
Sang Li nodded.
She tiptoed down the corridor and stopped in front of Bai Heng's door: "Is he asleep?"
Fei Ling: "I don't think so. The first thing you do when you get home late at night is check on him, not me?"
"I was wrong." Sang Li smiled ingratiatingly. "Thank you for your hard work."
Fei Ling snorted.
Bai Heng's room door was ajar. The moment she pushed it open, a faint aroma of hot cocoa wafted out.
He leaned against the headboard, his body wrapped in gauze, with mottled bloodstains still visible on his arms and shoulders.
Bai Heng was flipping through an old book, his expression calm, as if the storms outside had nothing to do with him.
Hearing the door open, he looked up and met Sang Li's gaze.
Those eyes remained cold and clear, but now held a complexity that Sang Li couldn't comprehend.
"You're back," Bai Heng said.
Sang Li walked to the bedside, looked at the gauze on his body, and couldn't help but frown: "You shouldn't still be reading, you should be resting."
Bai Heng smiled calmly: "The injury isn't on the eye."
He gently closed the book and placed it on the bedside table, his gaze remaining fixed on Sang Li's face.
Sang Li felt that he seemed to see through all the facade of hardness she was putting on.
Bai Heng's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he said softly, "Are you tired?"
Sang Li paused, her throat tightening slightly. She pursed her lips, as if suppressing some emotion, and after a long while said, "I brought you something that might be of help to you."
After she finished speaking, her gaze unconsciously drifted towards the door. The door was not closed, and Chi Du was looking at her.
Under the light, a hint of tenderness, which she herself did not realize, flashed in Sang Li's eyes.
Chi Du had never seen that expression on her face before.
I even felt a little guilty.
Chi Du's heart tightened.
Guilt is the most dangerous emotion, more dangerous than hesitation or attraction.
It signifies attachment, making it difficult to extricate oneself.
It makes people think about it and miss it all the time.
Sang Li: "I want to be alone with him for a while."
Chi Du narrowed his eyes and uttered two words without thinking: "No."
A hint of stubbornness flickered in Sang Li's eyes.
Chi Du sneered inwardly, a slight tension creeping over him.
Once guilt takes root, it can get out of control and cause an uncontrollable spark between her and Bai Heng.
He absolutely cannot allow it.
Bai Heng's gaze slowly swept between Sang Li and Chi Du, his expression unchanged: "What are you afraid of?"
Chi Du's eyes darkened as he stared straight at him, as if trying to peel away that calm exterior.
“I’m not afraid of anything,” Chi Du replied coldly.
Bai Heng smiled faintly, his lips barely moving: "Then let her stay. If you truly trust her, why be constantly on guard?"
provocative.
Chi Du cursed inwardly.
Sang Li spoke up: "You two don't need to be so tense all the time. I will decide who I stay with. Chi Du, give me what's in your pocket."
Chi Du was taken aback for a moment, then realized what was happening.
He reached into his pocket and touched the small metal box.
That was given to him by Sang Li herself before they left the experimental area.
A limited quantity of a neutralizing agent developed specifically for BEAM-071, but sufficient to dismantle a certain suppression within the body.
Chi Du looked down at the box of medicine.
I see.
He originally thought that Bai Heng's guilt and hesitation towards Sang Li was because he wanted to "rekindle their relationship" or "make amends".
Now he understood: Sang Li wanted to use this medicine to unlock the hidden chains on Bai Heng's body.
It turns out that Bai Heng was a human who was accidentally controlled by Sang Li.
That's why she felt some regret and self-blame.
Okay.
Chi Du's lips slowly curved into a smile, a desolate mockery directed at Bai Heng.
Bai Heng thought he was unique, but he wasn't at all.
"Okay." Chi Du left.
Sang Li watched Chi Du's figure disappear outside the door and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Half of the tension that had been building up for so long dissipated. She turned around, slowly walked to the bedside, and sat down next to Bai Heng.
Bai Heng's smile was faint, as warm as ever: "Would you like some hot cocoa? To warm you up. It's freezing cold in the capital right now."
Sang Li nodded, took the cup, and took a sip. The sweetness and warmth immediately spread, driving away the chill from her body.
Before she could say anything, Bai Heng said, "That cup was the one I drank from."
She paused for a moment, her hand holding the cup stopped, but said, "I don't mind."
Bai Heng stared at her, his gaze deepening.
Sang Li placed the metal box in her hand into Bai Heng's hand. Inside was a glass tube of medicine. She solemnly said, "I have what you wanted."
With this, Bai Heng can completely get rid of himself.
Return to normal life.
Bai Heng frowned; he had a rough idea of what it was.
Sang Li had been holding a grudge ever since that hot spring vacation.
I've lost weight from thinking so much.
but.
Bai Heng asked, "How do you know it's what I want?"
