Chapter 81 A Chaotic Past No One Knows
Lu Jin left.
The room fell silent.
Sang Li felt there was something wrong, but couldn't find any evidence.
I feel empty inside.
Everything is beyond my imagination.
It was as if an unseen pair of eyes were watching her intently, observing her as she followed the plan step by step.
If that's really the case...
Sang Li was curious about what kind of person she used to be.
Is it possible for someone in their early twenties, or rather, in their early teens, to have such deep cunning?
You know, I almost failed my college math exam.
If someone is really that capable, they must be an outstanding person.
but……
In the missing memories, how could a person undergo such a transformation in just a few months?
in this way……
wrong.
Sang Li suddenly realized something terrifying.
Chidu.
Ike Watari recognizes himself as a child.
And I'm very familiar with it.
Therefore, it's not just the period before she "fell in love" or "became an anomaly" that disappeared; many minor details vanished without her even noticing.
They disappeared intermittently.
Then there must be things you don't know.
What is the purpose of losing one's memory?
Sang Li recalled the interrogation she underwent after being captured, the instruments and procedures she couldn't name, and the memory analysis that must have been involved. So, because it was all a secret… no, that's not right, it was because she wanted to hide clues and information about Chi Du that she lost her memory!
Oh my god.
Meanwhile, Lu Jin returned to the laboratory.
Of course, the lab borrowed Bai Heng's.
He couldn't possibly be so oblivious as to actually go to the bureau's laboratory to request testing.
Lu Jin raised his hand and added a gesture authentication layer to the electronic door lock to confirm that no one could enter, and that all the data here would not be uploaded to the sharing platform.
He must be careful.
Lu Jin stared at the stainless steel cup containing pink liquid, his gaze cold and complex.
Two hours to get a test report? You must be joking.
That's why Sang Li is such a cutie.
It takes at least six hours from detection to data transmission, and he didn't even go through the formal procedures.
That glass of pink liquid was something he mixed himself.
Simple syrup, coloring, and flavoring—it's certainly harmless, but it's also... terribly unpalatable.
But that's enough.
But Sang Li cannot know its true ingredients.
Before telling Sang Li the answer, he did the simplest test: the pink liquid was indeed the experimental reagent, and it was different from all the data in the existing database.
Therefore, it should be one of the agents in the mechanical seal storage sequence.
Bai Heng clasped his hands together and leaned against the cold wall.
“There’s no match for this liquid in the entire Administration’s database.” Bai Heng’s expression was also grim. “Then it can only be highly classified. If Sang Li has been drinking it since childhood, then her identity is questionable. But as far as I know, the Administration has never released any anomalies, except for the current Sang Li. Finding information from before will likely be quite a task. Do you remember my teacher’s mentor?”
“Professor Olga?” Lu Jin asked.
The two rarely talked so calmly.
"right."
Professor Olga was the most authoritative researcher in the Administration at the time.
Bai Heng said in a deep voice, "Her research focuses on the mutation and evolution of anomalous organisms."
Back then, many of the bureau's top officials were radicals.
Lu Jin raised an eyebrow slightly.
Bai Heng seemed to recall something, his voice carrying a slight weariness and complexity: "In her early years, she was a leading figure in the interdisciplinary field of genetic engineering and anomalous organisms. She had a special trait called 'self-consistent multi-point evolution,' which means that an anomalous individual can spontaneously evolve multiple ability structures without external impetus."
“She wants to create this kind of anomaly.” Bai Heng looked at the report in his hand, “an all-powerful, highly adaptable new species that can even ‘coexist’ in human society, as well as super soldiers. I know they conducted experiments on clones back then, but they all failed. Those people couldn’t reconcile with the extracted anomaly abilities. Yes, this involves ethics and human experimentation.”
"Did it fail?" Lu Jin asked.
“None of them succeeded,” Bai Heng said calmly. “The batch that came closest to success also suffered a systemic collapse in the final stage, with autophagy, logical breakdowns, and perceptual misalignments. The last test subject even self-immolated in the laboratory.”
Twenty years ago, a major accident occurred.
This resulted in serious injuries and even death to high-ranking officials.
Three top-level administrators died, and seven mid-level administrators were seriously injured.
On the night of the incident, Olga returned to her dormitory and left an encrypted suicide note at 3 a.m.
The content consists of only one sentence: "Evolution is not a mistake, but a tragedy that came too early."
She took her own life after sending the letter.
Bai Heng pondered. If it was about pink liquid, he had heard his teacher mention it.
This color is very distinctive.
“I think I know which sequence it is,” Bai Heng said. “PAX-06, but I need some time.”
Project Code: PAX-06

"good."
“Also,” Lu Jin said, “Chi Du delivered a package to me yesterday.”
What's inside?
“Five red candies. I dare not use conventional instruments to test them, for fear of triggering some kind of reaction.” Lu Jin paused, then finally spoke in a low voice, “I would like to ask you to test them.”
Bai Heng: "When did you start believing me?"
"It's not that I trust you, it's that I trust you won't harm her." Lu Jin handed it to him.
Bai Heng looked down at the five blood-red candies in his palm, their thin film packaging cold and silent. They looked utterly ordinary, like cheap snacks sold for 1.5 yuan a pack at a convenience store.
He took a deep breath, his chest ached, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
"I will give you the full report this week," Bai Heng said.
The two fell silent, their silence like a frosted pane of glass, separating them into their own worlds.
Only the laboratory lights made their faces appear pale and tired.
They all understood that once they started tracing this path, there was no turning back.
A road of no return.
No one can stand up to the Authority.
Furthermore, they didn't even know what the other party's purpose was.
The only option is to form a united front to protect Sang Li.
Sang Li was undoubtedly at the center of this storm.
Lu Jin lowered his head, his fingertips slowly tracing the grain of the wood on the table, before finally speaking: "Do you think the failed experiment twenty years ago was related to Sang Li?"
Bai Heng raised his eyes, his gaze devoid of emotion: "You suspect she's a continuation of the plan? Is someone still conducting similar experiments?"
"I don't know." Lu Jin's Adam's apple bobbed, his voice hoarse. "But if it weren't for that fever last time, she could almost be considered a successful experiment. Isn't that right?"
Level S: Harmless, docile, and kind.
"If she really is an experimental subject."
The moment the words fell, it was as if some invisible weight crashed into the room, making the air feel heavy and oppressive.
Bai Heng interrupted Lu Jin: "Don't speculate, none of us know right now. By the way, bring Sang Li for a medical check-up in a couple of days."
"knew."
Bai Heng put the candy into the lead box he carried with him, fastened it, and turned to walk into the adjacent experimental cubicle.
Lu Jin stood still, his fingertips still tracing the same arc across the table.
Alone in the cubicle, Bai Heng finally relaxed a little, took a sip of water, and rubbed his temples.
Unlike traditional abnormal beings, she is not aggressive and does not lose control. Instead, she possesses a powerful emotional stabilizing field that can mitigate danger and calm rage.
But things changed completely after that fever.
He secretly kept a copy of her active gene sample, and then he did something very daring.
He conducted tests, comparisons, and deductions.
Initially, all the test results were normal, but after he re-run the entire sequence using the expired analysis module left to him by his old mentor Olga, he discovered a highly discordant segment.
It doesn't resemble a human being; it's more like a "code" that's been artificially pieced together, something borrowed from others.
What horrified him even more was that this sequence was completely identical to a "genetic prototype identifier" recorded in a sealed file of the Administration.
Bai Heng found the file almost overnight.
Number: BEAM-001.
When he first saw the number, his heart skipped a beat.
The problem is that the Administration was established a full thirty years later than that file.
He repeatedly compared the records and confirmed that they were indeed written into the database by an external laboratory before the establishment of the Administration Bureau.
The sample data and record description corresponding to number 001 are exactly the same as the active sequence hidden in Sang Li's body. She may not be human at all, or an abnormal being transformed from a human for some reason, but rather a "test subject" whose internal genetic sequence was grafted on and integrated with her. Therefore, everything Sang Li experienced may have been fake, manipulated, and monitored.
That sounds so pitiful.
If all my guesses are correct.
If none of this is a coincidence.
Was she the original anomalous entity?
Everything she experienced was right under the nose of the Administration Bureau.
Is it a much larger experiment?
