The assassin obtained a list of employees in the perfume research and development department, and then kidnapped one of them. After subjecting her to severe torture, he learned of Mary's current situation.
The baby was saved, and Mary is now being held in the basement on the fifth floor.
"Can I enter the basement as long as I have a pass?" The assassin held up a perfume company employee's work ID.
"Don't even think about it. Below the third basement level, you need pupil verification." The research staff member, bound to a chair and covered in wounds, sighed bitterly, "I worked under Kelly for five years before I finally got the chance to pass."
"Is there no other way besides this?"
The person strapped to the chair had their eyes tightly closed and their face contorted in pain: "No."
"What exactly does the basement look like?"
"That is hell on earth, the eighteen levels of hell that Kelly created for the human world."
"The eighteen levels of hell?"
“Yes, the first layer holds some protected animals, the second layer contains skeletons, the third layer contains flesh and skin, the fourth layer contains organs and internal organs, and the fifth layer contains living people.” William paused, took a deep breath, and said, “These are all materials for her experiments.”
"Experimental materials? You mean those living people were also materials for her experiments?"
"That's right."
What lies below the sixth floor?
“The sixth floor contains torture instruments, the seventh floor contains gunpowder weapons, and the floors below the eighth are all her laboratories. I am not qualified to go in.” William’s eyes flickered uncertainly.
The assassin lit a candle, the flame crackling: "What are you hiding?"
"I didn't hide anything..."
As the flames drew closer, William pleaded, trembling, "I'll tell you everything I know! Please, take it away, please, stay away from me!"
The assassin blew out the candle flame with amusement: "I hope you'll tell the truth. I don't mean to scare you."
"I'll tell you everything!"
"I only heard it from my colleagues; the eighth, ninth, and tenth floors are all her labs!"
"Floors eleven through eighteen are all the results of her experiments, containing all sorts of mutated things; they're terrifying..."
"I've only heard about it, why are you trembling with fear?"
"My colleague said the latest discovery is a mermaid."
How did he know?
"Because he was involved in the study. I wasn't qualified to participate in the study, and I only asked him a few questions when he was drunk. Although he was already drunk at that time, he still spoke incoherently and didn't reveal everything."
The assassin asked in disbelief, "Mermaids...do they really exist?"
"I don't know if there are mermaids in the ocean, but Kelly's research involves fusing human genes with those of deep-sea fish..."
The assassin frowned: "Don't treat me like a fool. Human genes cannot be fused with the genes of other organisms!"
William scoffed, "Before many experiments succeeded, those results were considered impossible by people in the past, weren't they? It's just that those useless people, unwilling to admit their failures, say that this is impossible!"
The assassin was skeptical: "Maybe he's lying to you, after all, you didn't see it with your own eyes."
“Absolutely not!” In William’s eyes, madness and despair erupted like a volcano, threatening to devour everything. “Nobody understands us! Even my parents can’t understand why I would quit my hospital job after graduating from medical school and having a respectable job, to go and do some perfume research! But they have no idea what a great thing I’m doing, what an unparalleled great cause! What I’m developing is not just perfume, but the future of humanity!”
"Stop indulging in self-admiration." The assassin scoffed, his tone full of disdain: "Who would need your so-called research? Don't speak for all of humanity. To be honest, most people are content as long as they have enough to eat and cover themselves. They don't need your stuff at all! Only idle bastards like you would bother with such things!"
You don't understand!
"Hmph! I have no interest in understanding the thoughts of a medical madman like you!"
"Too few people understand us. If only more people understood us..."
"Enough already! You'll ruin this world sooner or later! Stop bragging. If it weren't for your reckless actions, how could Earth be in this state? Icebergs are melting, oceans have become garbage dumps, and the atmosphere has been severely damaged! Ordinary people living peacefully for tens of thousands of years couldn't cause this kind of destruction. It's all because of you lunatics, with your various forms of pollution, bizarre inventions, and research that Earth has been ruined and its lifespan shortened!"
"This has nothing to do with us."
"Unrelated?" The assassin's sneer deepened. "Kelly's eighteenth underground level has committed countless heinous crimes. If she were to research something different, who knows what kind of monster she might unleash? Could she handle it? Don't let all of humanity pay the price!"
William remained silent, unsure how to refute the statement.
The basement he saw was indeed like hell on earth.
“I absolutely do not believe that such a huge basement has only one passage. As cunning as Kelly is, she must have left an escape route. Whoever is closest to Kelly might know this secret?”
"I have no idea."
"Who was the person who told you about the mermaid experiments?"
"Moriki was her college classmate, and she trusted him implicitly."
"Does he usually like to go to bars?" The assassin picked up a pile of documents and found the information about a person named Senmu.
It is precisely because he is good at collecting information and understanding the personality traits of each person that running a matchmaking company is so easy for him.
“Hey, Mr. Han, the target has been locked. This Kelly you suspect is indeed very problematic. I’m afraid this is not something a lowly assassin like me can handle. I’m afraid I won’t be able to come back.”
"What's going on?"
"I have already sent you the information, which is what I have found out so far."
Thank you.
Han Fei stayed by Xiao Liu's bedside. Xiao Qi had already fallen asleep and was carried to another room by him.
Xiao Liu had been having nightmares. He gently patted Xiao Liu's chest to comfort him, while quickly flipping through the documents with his other hand.
However, when Han Fei saw the words "human experimentation," his face suddenly darkened.
"The eighteen levels of hell?"
“Kelly…”
He had locked onto his target; in the original story, she was undoubtedly the one who killed Xiao Qi.
Andy and Kelly are connected; according to the internal organ experiment layer in the eighteen levels of hell, Kelly is one of Andy's employers.
In other words, in the original story, Kelly was Xiao Liu's partner. She was always in front of Xiao Liu, but Xiao Liu was blinded by her and had no idea that she was the culprit who killed his sister that he had been searching for!
It's ridiculous, utterly absurd and ridiculous.
Even someone as clever as Xiao Liu has moments of such confusion.
Han Fei took a deep breath, looked down at his unconscious grandson, and muttered to himself, "Just how muddled are you living?"
