CHAPTER 23
Time quickly came to the third day of the follow-up visit. After having lunch and taking her medication, Sheng Qing went to clinic 2 to sign in for her follow-up appointment as instructed by the doctor.
Of course, the medicine was actually digested by the toilet's sewer system.
The same gentle-voiced doctor, with a 50% feline quality, methodically completed the basic examination for Sheng Qing.
Cat Head frowned, seemingly full of doubt and confusion about the data on the screen.
"Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case?" Cat Head turned his gaze to Sheng Qing and asked seriously, "Have you been taking your medicine on time?"
"Yes, it's always half an hour after meals." Sheng Qing cooperated, showing the same puzzled expression. "Doctor, is there a problem?"
“Based on your talent rating (A), you can reach 30% feline transformation in 3 days.” The cat-headed doctor frowned even more. “But your test data shows that you haven’t reached 10% yet.”
"Could it be that there's a problem with the talent rating? Maybe there's no talent at all?" Sheng Qing offered his speculation. What the hell is a talent rating?
"Impossible." The cat-headed doctor dismissed the guess without hesitation.
"Perhaps there's something wrong with the living environment at Xinshengyuan," Sheng Qing said with a wistful expression. "A familiar environment should help me digest the medication better."
The most urgent thing was to leave this environment where she was constantly being monitored, and Sheng Qing tried to persuade the doctor.
"You mean that a life of wandering can inspire your talents?" The cat-headed man's suspicious gaze fell on Sheng Qing's face, which froze instantly.
Is his new identity that of a homeless vagrant? He was captured and subjected to rehabilitation surgery for some reason, and Sheng Qing became increasingly horrified as he thought about it.
Exploring secret realms involves too many uncontrollable factors. Last time, she was just a bereaved woman with a family to support, but at least she didn't have to worry about food and drink. This time, they've given her the identity of a homeless person?
Sheng Qing's eyes twitched slightly, and he nodded with a hint of guilt.
The cat-headed doctor was not swayed by Sheng Qing's idea and continued to tap the keyboard nimbly.
"I've already scheduled your second modification surgery for tomorrow morning," the cat-headed doctor said calmly. "I'll be performing the surgery myself this time; it's for your own good."
"Huh? Why?" Sheng Qing was completely stunned. Two more times? Did they really not treat homeless people like human beings?
"We can't rule out the possibility that the dosage was not accurate during the first surgery. The requirements for a talent rating of A are quite high, so a second surgery is very necessary." Cat Head glanced at Sheng Qing, his brows never relaxing.
Now is not the time to turn against each other. Sheng Qing suppressed his anger and nodded stiffly.
"The surgery information has been synchronized to the New Life Garden system. Remember to rest." The cat-headed doctor seemed very worried and added, "The New Life Garden has been equipped with the most advanced security system. Do not wander around."
Sheng Qing sensed a threat in the voice. Had she made her desire to back out and escape too obvious?
Judging from the veterinarian's skillful handling of the situation, this was probably not the first time.
Are there many people who impulsively undergo surgery due to momentary temptation, only to regret it later?
Various thoughts flashed through Sheng Qing's mind. He left the operating room building in a daze and walked along the corridor leading to the New Life Garden.
Several unidentified eyes appeared behind him, clearly someone was hiding in the shadows and watching him.
"I deeply regret it. I shouldn't have impulsively refused the cat-like transformation surgery..." A news interview was playing on the screen in the corridor. The interviewee looked remorseful and tearfully recounted the series of painful consequences caused by his impulsive decision.
"Thank you to the government for giving us a second chance, we will definitely cherish it." The interviewee said, showing a grateful expression to the camera.
Uh... this is so fake, it's clearly a performance for his own benefit!
Sheng Qing stopped, suppressing his disdain, and put on a thoughtful expression of sudden repentance.
The feeling of being watched was still there, and my mind raced, trying to figure out how to escape.
Sheng Qing deliberately slowed down. Since he was already being watched, he decided to openly and honestly observe his surroundings.
Looking up, you can see ubiquitous cameras and security personnel patrolling around, completely surrounding the newborn campus and hospital building.
After wandering around Shengqing for quite some time, I still couldn't find an exit leading to the outside world, and my brows furrowed involuntarily.
"Are you lost?" Two cat-headed staff members approached and politely inquired.
"No, no." Sheng Qing smiled awkwardly, "I just ate too much and need to digest."
"There's an event going on at Xinshengyuan right now. If you're interested, you can go check it out." The cat-headed staff member made an inviting gesture, but didn't leave after saying that.
Sheng Qing had no right to refuse, so he obediently followed them back to the New Life Garden.
Huh?
As I passed by a clump of thriving green plants, a bold idea flashed through my mind.
Perhaps the way out lies here.
Sheng Qing finally managed to shake off the cat-headed staff after returning to the newborn garden, but those surveillance eyes still followed closely.
Sheng Qing sat relaxed in the activity room downstairs, chatting casually with a young man who had just undergone surgery.
While casually agreeing with the young man's topic, he carefully summoned the power of the earth element, concentrating on trying to connect with the soil where the green plants were rooted.
Perhaps due to the effects of the modification surgery, Sheng Qing failed several times before barely managing to sense it, gently stirring the soil to explore the underground situation.
Great, it works!
A hint of surprise flashed in Sheng Qing's eyes; truly, there's always a way out.
Don't mess things up when it comes to the actual operation!
She dared not touch the food brought to her by the cat-headed staff. If they had given her sleeping pills or something and she had fallen into a deep sleep, then she would be truly doomed.
Sheng Qing made a pained expression, claiming that he had an upset stomach, and refused to eat anything.
The cats exchanged a glance, but did not insist. They simply stood guard outside the door after it was closed, preventing Sheng Qing from escaping.
It was already past midnight, but Sheng Qing forced herself to stay awake, holding her breath and concentrating until dawn broke.
The digital clock on the wall ticks to five in the morning, the time when I am most relaxed.
Sheng Qing didn't turn on the light. He groped his way to sit up, went to the window, and opened it.
I peeked out and saw that it was 22 stories high, about 66 meters tall, which is only about three times the height of the city wall of Mengcheng.
Hehe, it's not scary at all, not frightening at all.
No wonder he was scared! It took Sheng Qing a full five minutes to mentally prepare himself.
With a thought, the power of the wood element is summoned.
The wooden strip seemed to sense Sheng Qing's trembling and uneasy heart. One end was connected to a stable point in the room, while the other end swayed and lifted Sheng Qing, sending her out of the window.
Or should we try to escape during the day?
"Fine, it's come to this." Sheng Qing pulled the vines around her body tightly and leaped into the air.
The wind howled past my ears at five in the morning, and Sheng Qing, wrapped in wooden strips, swayed wildly in the wind like a swing.
This height was a bit out of control. At a distance of nearly 20 meters from the ground, the vines lost their elasticity, leaving Sheng Qing hanging alone in mid-air, neither up nor down.
In a flash, Sheng Qing spotted a room with an open window. With great effort, he managed to summon another vine, secured it, and used it to jump into the room.
The room's occupant was fast asleep and seemed unaware of the unexpected noise.
Sheng Qing leaned against the window, panting heavily. One more try should be enough to get her to the ground.
Just as he was about to summon the rattan cane again and repeat his previous trick, he heard the sound of the door opening and the room's owner asking in a daze.
What was that sound?
Without further hesitation, Sheng Qing jumped down without looking back.
Having landed safely on solid ground, Sheng Qing finally had a chance to hide in the shadows. Looking up, she saw a blurry figure peering out of the window.
Before we could even feel relieved, a piercing alarm sounded, sounding particularly harsh in the quiet of the early morning.
Did you find out so quickly?
Sheng Qing quickly searched for the clump of green plants, summoning the power of earth element while trying to tear a hole in the surface of his sea of consciousness and draw out the energy.
Let's make it even more chaotic then!
Sheng Qing dispersed his aura in different locations before using the power of the earth element to penetrate the soil beneath the greenery.
Sheng Qing thought he would have to dig like a groundhog to get along, but he was able to move freely like a fish in water.
She just hadn't learned how to breathe in the soil yet, and after swimming around for a while, she had to find a chance to stick her head out to breathe.
However, after only a short while, staff members from the cat-headed group came running after hearing the sound.
Why were you able to discover yourself so quickly?
Oh no, there must be something wrong with the stuff that was put in during the first modification surgery!
While using the power of the earth element to travel underground, Sheng Qing focused his mind and circulated his energy within his body.
Found you!
A black object, the size of a sesame seed, was rising and falling rhythmically with the beating heart.
This must be the locator.
At the same time, Sheng Qing also noticed that there were strange things in the flowing blood. Were they the cause of the cat-like mutation?
A quick glance revealed that these strange substances had already become part of the blood.
To separate them, a complete overhaul is necessary, referring to a complete overhaul in a physical sense.
Sheng Qing surfaced again for air. This time, the distance he had escaped seemed to be longer, and the cat-headed pursuer was taking longer than last time.
I hope that locator wasn't secretly planted with a bomb!
A terrible thought flashed through Sheng Qing's mind.
Based on this group's modus operandi, it is highly likely.
Sheng Qing felt a chill run down his spine; he had to find a chance to resolve this as soon as possible. Otherwise, it wouldn't be as simple as just turning into a cat.
"She's there, quick!" A series of hurried footsteps came from not far away.
Sheng Qing quickly disappeared into the soil, heading straight in the chosen direction. At the same time, he channeled his energy, attempting to move the locator next to his heart to a more accessible location.
Which part should it be moved to? In short, the farther away from the heart and brain, the better.
The left wrist is the best choice; make a small incision to remove it, which is convenient and won't affect your mobility.
After two ventilation cycles, Sheng Qing successfully moved the locator to the designated location.
The next step is to leave the pursuers far behind and then use the power of the gold element to retrieve the locator within the limited timeframe.
Sheng Qing then released his aura into the spot where the monsters were surfacing to breathe, which was worthwhile as it could temporarily disrupt the minds of the cat-headed monsters.
Huh? Something's off about this soil.
Before me were rows of neatly arranged rectangular objects, which looked remarkably like coffins.
Sheng Qing stopped emerging, and countless square tombstones came into view. If it wasn't a cemetery, where else could it be?
