Chapter 39 Bellit 31

[Help me contact the remaining few people, and let them secretly collect information about other Chamber of Commerce members in the name of Lance. They know the method. By the way, let Red Ci stay in the auction house and keep an eye on the golden hat. Contact me immediately if there is any unusual movement]

[Ok ok, Lance, what are you going to do now? 】

【I want to go back to the Sky Lab again. It is related to Tanzanite. This place has a lot of secrets】

【But didn’t you say that the place is not safe now? If you go there, won’t you be exposed in advance】

【Yes, but Lilina’s appearance proves that the next plot node is definitely related to Tanzanite. I can’t just ignore it】

【Oh...then Lance, you should be careful】

Chu Cheng felt the energy fluctuations left in the Sky Lab, and turned himself into a pool of colorless and odorless liquid. He easily penetrated into the soil, and quickly advanced silently along the gap, and soon touched the Sky Lab.

Sure enough, after the serious loss of the Sky Lab last time, when Chu Cheng came again this time, the defense of the lab had made a qualitative leap. There are three layers of defensive magic and guards inside and outside. Even an A-level psychic would have to think twice.

But these are not a problem for Chu Cheng. Chu Cheng redeemed his invincibility immunity without hesitation, and then entered the laboratory as if he was at home. The ruins that Carl and his team had made last time have disappeared completely, and the laboratory, which was re-decorated with cold paint, once again showed its indifference and ruthlessness.

Although the superpowers inside the laboratory have been cleared, Chu Cheng connected to the surveillance cameras in the laboratory through the system last time. He can still find Tanzanite hidden behind the layers of protection by following the guidance of the system.

However, Chu Cheng did not explore the mysterious sea directly, but stuck to the wall and looked around. I don't know if it was because Chu Cheng came during lunch break, there were surprisingly few researchers in the laboratory, only a few human researchers who looked quite young were walking around, muttering "I'm so tired".

After avoiding the researchers who hurried by again and again, Chu Cheng followed the ventilation duct into a place similar to an office. Several tables were spliced ​​together, with many boxes on them, and the insides were filled with materials. There were also bookshelves on the walls, which were piled with books. Chu Cheng looked carefully and found that the spines of the books were densely recorded with dates and some experimental notes.

"This place is probably the data room."

Chu Cheng bought an illusion magic in the store, which temporarily blocked all functions in the laboratory, and then released the liquid state and re-condensed into a human form. The illusion will not last long, and there will be researchers coming in anyway. Chu Cheng did not hesitate to look through the recent research report on his desk.

'XX day, research subject No. 203, obvious rejection reaction, gene reproduction failed'

'XX day, research subject No. 1104, good rejection reaction, gene reproduction failed, supernatural awakening failed, low cell activity'

'XX day, pseudo-phenomenon: skin cracking, blood spurting'

'XX day, pseudo-phenomenon: skin cracking, eyeballs out of frame, blood spurting'

'XX day, pseudo-phenomenon: skin.....\'

In addition to the experimental results of a certain experimental subject, most of the experiments are describing something called a pseudo-phenomenon. Chu Cheng's intuition told him that this was definitely a big problem.

Chu Cheng flipped through the table again, and when he found no third type of information, Chu Cheng turned into liquid again and ran out of the laboratory before the illusion disappeared. After blending into the ventilation duct again, Chu Cheng began to explore other rooms that he had not been to last time.

Most of the rooms were filled with large jars containing people soaked in nutrient solution, and some were tied to operating tables like lambs to be slaughtered.

These rooms are similar, but the major types of changes inside are somewhat different. Just when Chu Cheng thought that this attempt might be in vain, he accidentally walked along the wall and the cracks in the floor into a rather large room, about the size of half a football field, and was sealed with bricks and tiles on all sides. There was no window, and there were rows of large lights on the top, illuminating the room.

The room was different from other empty rooms. There were about thirty people standing shoulder to shoulder in this room. They were all wearing white coats, holding papers in their hands, and carefully observing the scene in front of them.

Chu Cheng followed the gaze of the group of people and focused his sight behind the crowd. There were several creatures lying there that looked like humanoids. Why do I say that? Because their skin was chapped all over their bodies, and blood gushed out from the cracks in their skin, flowing on the ground and mixing with each other. They

couldn't even show a painful expression on their faces, because their hair was wet with sweat and stuck to their faces, covering their facial features. One of them was probably a male, with a wound on the back of the tail vertebrae that was nearly 20 centimeters deep and visible to the bone. Liquid mixed with black blood flowed out along the thigh root, which made Chu Cheng feel an inexplicable impulse.

[Join them...]

[Draw apart...]

[Disgusted...]

Ever since Chu Cheng was given these two debuffs, he could often hear an inexplicable voice in his heart, constantly urging him to do something that would hurt himself. The more Chu Cheng tried to suppress this voice, the more intense it became, to the point of auditory hallucination. At the same time, the blood in his body became more and more surging and boiling, as if it would break through the barrier of the skin in the next second.

[Lance...Lance...Lance!!! Please reply if you hear it!! 】

【...I heard it】

The increasingly loud and almost shrill electronic sound forcibly pulled Chu Cheng back to this world. Chu Cheng took a deep breath in annoyance and forced his eyes to focus on the present.

But it is undeniable that Chu Cheng's heart has been affected by the voice in his eyes. Now for him, he inexplicably felt that he was like the most beautiful flower growing in the dirty quagmire. On the one hand, he was proud of his beauty, but on the other hand, he hated that he was covered in mud.

He was like an evil flower that sucked blood from rotten flesh and bones. The two contradictory emotions of love and hatred were intertwined crazily in Chu Cheng's heart. He wished he could turn into a human form immediately, cut the delicate skin at the neck with a knife, pierce the aorta with a sharp ice arrow, let the spurting blood slide down the clavicle and chest, and sink deep into the corner of the clothes...

[..f**k....system, from now on, low-power motor will be performed once every five minutes. If I fail to report to you on time after an hour, I will start to increase the dosage.]

[Okay, Lance, you have to be careful too! After

Chu Cheng gave the system instructions, he blinked his eyes in the water and climbed up the wall. Under the blinding white light, Chu Cheng slipped over the light tube and looked down at the experimental subjects below.

Seeing such a tragic experimental result, the researchers did not show any discouragement, but excitedly whispered to each other and gestured to the experimental subjects.

"Look...blood..."

"Miracle! You said..."

"Oh my god...look..."

[Is this the so-called pseudo-phenomenon...what's the purpose?]

Seeing that his invincibility and immunity time was almost up, Chu Cheng left the Sky Laboratory along the original route he came in. Along the way, Chu Cheng was thinking, since they were also genetically modified, Chu Cheng still remembered clearly the test subjects who had failed the transformation and were dragged out like animals last time, why is such a pseudo-failure meaningful for research?

What is this pseudo-phenomenon?

With a lot of questions in his mind, Chu Cheng decided to go to the Huzitou Bar again to see if he could earn some information. Regarding such a core matter, Chu Cheng was still worried about handing it over to others, so he could only go there himself wearing a robe.

Just in case, Chu Cheng found a hidden corner to bleed, and after cleaning the scene thoroughly and making sure there was no residue left, Chu Cheng went to the Huzitou Bar.

This time, Chu Cheng did not need a guide, and walked in with ease, and entered the room again along the narrow corridor. Huzitou Oliver was drinking the rich and mellow Treeman beer, eating the fried golden and greasy curly crab, and looked quite satisfied.

But Chu Cheng couldn't stop the physical nausea after seeing the table of delicious food, sour water kept surging up, burning his throat and hurting, and his stomach was twitching in protest, as if he was afraid that the owner of the body was going to eat.

Barely suppressing the discomfort in his body, Chu Cheng lifted his robe behind him, and supported the remaining half of his face covered by the robe with his hands.

"Have you heard of pseudo-phenomenon?"

"Pseudo-phenomenon? This is the first time I've heard of it being related to a laboratory?"

Bearded Oliver was indeed a senior executive of the Sky Laboratory. When he heard the word, he quickly guessed Chu Cheng's intention. However, he had never heard of this word during the stage when he was involved in the work. The long-lost experiment-related things rekindled some of his lingering interest. He waved his hand, handed Chu Cheng a glass of beer, and said that this time the information was free of charge.

Chu Cheng put his hand on the glass, but did not pick it up to drink, but directly threw out the pseudo-phenomenon. There was no other way. His bleeding problem was too serious to delay. He couldn't bleed in such an unsafe place. Once someone took advantage of it, the consequences would be disastrous.

"The skin is cracked and the blood is flowing... In fact, there were similar failure scenes in previous experiments, but there was no such thing as false failure. Where did you hear that?"

Chu Cheng could feel the blood in his body boiling. He held his wrist with his hand and felt the blood surging in his veins through his skin. His tone became a little impatient.

"There is another difference, their skin glows a little... a bit like the spontaneous combustion of the phoenix... do you have any ideas?"

"Glowing?"

After hearing this word, the previously interested expression on the bearded Oliver's face disappeared, replaced by a serious expression. Realizing that there might be a sign of this matter, Chu Cheng temporarily suppressed the growing disgust in his heart.

"Yes... there is no obvious change in their bodies, but they all glow faintly, and there are some wounds in some places where there may be changes."

"... How could it be..."

Chu Cheng looked at the strong man with a full beard and slumped in the chair in a daze, muttering to himself.
