"You..." The door next to him suddenly opened from the inside.
Cheng Yu suddenly took out the fragment of shackles hidden in his hand, aimed it at the man's tendons and wrist artery, and "click", stabbed it in accurately and fiercely.
Blood spurted out and splashed all over the ground.
The moment he wailed, Cheng Yu stuffed his fist into his mouth.
"Shh..." He half-opened his purple eyes and smiled gently, "I don't like noise."
The corridor returned to silence and Antonio came back with a cat-like walk.
Antonio licked his paw gently and walked quietly to Cheng Yu's feet. His eyes were dim, like a ghost on night watch. He hooked Cheng Yu's calf with his tail, signaling him to keep going.
After taking the weapon from the man, the two walked through the bright corridor.
Yu Lan wrinkled his nose: "Do you smell it? The smell in there is very strange."
The closer you get to the door, the stronger the smell.
Cheng Yu nodded, his eyes slightly cold, raised his hand and knocked on the door gently, listening attentively.
In the silence, a low moan could be heard faintly.
Antonio stepped forward skillfully, stretched out his claws and cut the chain, then deftly pushed open the iron door.
The world behind the iron gate is completely different from the corridor outside. The walls, floors, and ceilings on both sides of the passage are all made of welded steel plates, and the lighting is pale and dazzling.
The air was filled with a strange smell mixed with disinfectant, blood and decay.
Cheng Yu stepped on the metal floor, his footsteps so light that they made almost no sound.
He raised his head slightly and looked at the sign hanging at the end of the passage. The worn light tube flickered on and off, and he could barely make out the words on it - 4396 Mental Hospital
Yu Lan covered his nose, frowned, and looked forward, saying in a low voice: "This doesn't look like an ordinary mental hospital."
Click.
Cheng Yu narrowed his eyes, raised them fiercely, and a dangerous glint flashed in his eyes.
He suddenly raised his leg and kicked the man in the jaw.
Yu Lan's gauze-like tail fin shone coldly under the light, lying across his neck.
"Who are you and why are you here?" The man was still calm.
Yu Lan's tail fin had already approached his carotid artery. The sharp edge of the fin gently scratched his skin, leaving a faint trace of blood. "What is this place and what is it used for?"
"I'm telling you, this is Area 4396, where we detain extremely vicious and mentally ill criminals."
There are only criminals on Dust Star, but they are divided into different levels of severity. Those with minor crimes only need to do compulsory service for a certain period of time to regain their freedom, while those with serious crimes will stay here for life.
"You're lying." Cheng Yu cut the tendons in his hand.
"Ah--!" The man gasped in pain, but before he could open his mouth, Antonio jumped onto his shoulder and grabbed his throat with one claw. The sharp cat claw pressed lightly to prevent him from making any more sounds.
Cheng Yu leaned over, her purple eyes staring straight into his, her voice filled with a chilling chill: "Speak."
"It's the experimental area! They're doing human experiments here... They're using criminals here for human experiments!"
The man was covered in cold sweat and his face was distorted with pain.
?experiment.
These three words suddenly flashed through Yu Lan's mind. They were what Li Hengyu had always refused to tell him.
"Please don't kill me. I have a micro-control panel to control the laboratory. As long as..."
Before he could finish his words, the man fell down with his eyes wide open.
"Wipe it." Cheng Yu casually tore a piece of cloth from the wall and handed it to Yu Lan. The golden tail would not look good with blood on it.
Then he squatted on the ground and poked and clicked on the miniature control panel.
Tsk, I don’t know how to use it.
Cheng Yu looked up at Yu Lan. Will it?
"No." He has never liked to use his brain since he was a child.
That was useless. Cheng Yu just threw it away, and the micro operating table was not durable and broke into two pieces.
Yu Lan didn't even give it a look. Since neither of them knew how to do it, there was no point in keeping it. "Then let's keep going?"
The two people and the cat continued to move forward without noticing that the miniature operating table that had been shattered on the ground lit up again, and the red sign turned green.

Dozens of transparent culture chambers are arranged in the spacious laboratory.
In each cabin, there are strange half-human, half-beast creatures floating. Their skin is gray-green, their eyes are closed, tubes are inserted into their nostrils, and their bodies are soaked in unknown liquids.
"What the hell is this thing?" Yu Lan asked in shock, his tail fin drooping, obviously so disgusted by what he saw that he was speechless.
Although there are many orcs on the planet Seller, it is rare to see one that looks so scary.
Cheng Yu narrowed his eyes and approached one of the incubation chambers.
He knocked on the bulkhead, the liquid swayed slightly, and the creature inside suddenly opened its eyes—a pair of lifeless gray-white pupils stared straight at him.
"Is he dead? Or not?" Yu Lan walked forward, observed closely, and spoke in a low voice.
Cheng Yu didn't answer. The wall was covered with densely packed letters and numbers, one of which was highlighted:
Experiment Number: 4396-E13.
Status: Development stage.
"So ugly." Cheng Yu pointed at the bulkhead with his fingertips.
Yu Lan nodded in agreement.
Go through the lab to another room.
Under dim lights, the walls are covered with numbered case reports and imaging scans.
Yu Lan walked over and glanced down at the items on the table. "Gene adaptation experiment records?"
The file records in detail the code names, genders, ages of all the experimental subjects, as well as the painful processes they experienced in the genetic modification experiments.
Cheng Yu tapped the table lightly with his fingertips, his eyes fixed on a note under the number: Adaptation failed, entering the alternative utilization stage.
"Hi, how are you guys?" The childish voice sounded a little scary in the empty room.
A person popped out from behind the cabinet, or to be more precise, a child.
Cheng Yu looked down at him, his evil purple eyes narrowed with interest.
"Xiaochengzi, he and you... look alike, damn it." Same purple eyes, same silver hair.
Even Cheng Yu herself couldn't give birth to someone so similar.
"Dad~" The child hugged Cheng Yu's calf, tilted his head back and smiled sweetly.
"Xiao Chengzi, he can't be your long-lost child, right?" Yu Lan couldn't help but joked beside him.
They are so similar.
But it's unlikely. The child looks five or six years old. How old was Cheng Yu five years ago?
"Can you understand what I'm saying?" Yu Lan asked.
The child nodded and said weakly, "My name is... C-34."
"C-34?" Yu Lan frowned and flipped through the records beside him. "Here."
He pointed to a page of the file and read, "C-34, male, 7 years old, genetic sequence implantation failed, characteristics unknown, transferred to the cultivation observation stage."
He is a failure.
The two pairs of purple eyes met, as if reflecting each other in a mirror.
So does he, and so does Cheng Yu.
