Chapter 105

What looks like an ICU is actually a laboratory.

This laboratory belongs to the Jackal.

The Raven did not want to come in.

She knew what Jackal was up to, and this was the point of contention between Jackal. But since they were both working for the Honkai, and also for the sake of the child, she turned a blind eye to Jackal's actions.

She allowed Jackal to set up a laboratory here and to conduct experiments here.

However, things can't go too far. For example, simply dragging a child in.

Although the Jackal was wild, he at least restrained himself somewhat because they were all colleagues.

They didn't do anything particularly outrageous.

Overall, we are still adhering to this basic bottom line.

The Raven turned a blind eye and refrained from interfering, which was tantamount to acquiescing to the existence of the laboratory.

She knew this place and what kind of experiment was taking place here. But she absolutely did not want to enter, and naturally, she did not want the doctor to enter either.

She knew very well that once the doctor got inside...

World Serpent is basically a dark organization that can't be cleared of its name no matter what!

Because human experiments are being conducted here!

The further the Raven went, the worse its mood became.

All the passwords set by the Jackal have failed! That doctor moves in and out of this place as if it were his own backyard. All the passwords and barriers have been rendered useless.

They were either directly dismantled or their functionality was compromised.

In short...

The Jackal's chest thumping and shaking were all for naught! These things are utterly useless against MEI!

Keep walking inside.

The Raven finally saw the doctor.

She stood in front of two large jars, lost in thought.

Raven's heart sank to the bottom. Murphy's Law truly is an ironclad rule: if you fear something will happen, it almost certainly will.

Now, the thing she least wanted the doctor to see has been seen by the doctor.

"Doctor Mei."

Raven's heart sank to the bottom, but she still had to bite the bullet and explain everything to Mei.

"Actually, it's not what you imagine."

"Oh..." MEI pushed up his glasses and said, "That's true, I actually knew a long time ago. On the surface it looks like an orphanage, but in reality it's an experimental base."

Mei didn't seem very angry.

What's inside these two tubes?

It is a person.

To be more precise, it's human remains, but... that's not quite accurate either. If you look closely, they're actually still living people, just not quite whole.

The large tank appears to be some kind of life-sustaining device, and there are equipment around it.

They were monitoring the vital signs of the person inside the tube.

"I have to say," MEI said, "That after all that damage, the person is still alive."

"That's a skill too."

"No! It's not what you think," Raven said somewhat anxiously. "Please don't be angry, please let me explain."

"Explanation?" MEI said with her arms crossed, "I'm listening, and I'm not angry."

I'm not angry.

Raven was a little skeptical. She looked closely at Mei, but couldn't see anything that made her angry. This made Raven even more worried.

Because Doctor Mei's schedule is like this all the time, it's also the part that scares her and the children the most.

A person who seems to have no emotions.

She doesn't laugh, she doesn't cry, and maybe she'll occasionally act out in a nonsensical way, but otherwise you have no idea what she's thinking. You can't grasp her current emotions at all.

This feeling was precisely what made the Raven feel a little uneasy.

"Are you really not angry?" the Raven asked tentatively.

"No," MEI waved his hand and said, "It was just to verify an idea. On the surface, it looks like an orphanage, but in reality, it's a place where all sorts of underground experiments are conducted."

If it were in her past life, Mei would definitely say that this kind of plot shouldn't be taken seriously.

This is one of the misunderstandings people have about experiments.

It's like some kind of underground black laboratory, forbidden evil experiments, and so on. A damp, dark place filled with all sorts of uncomfortable things has been decorated to look like a laboratory.

But actually...

A loser like you wants to play in a high-end laboratory?

Sorry, you can't afford to burn that kind of money.

In fact, national-level laboratories do much more advanced things, and some of their experiments are quite inhumane.

But this isn't the past life, after all.

There are bound to be some bizarre laboratory hidden in some obscure corner, or some facility that appears to be a welfare facility but actually uses poor people for experiments.

After all, in this world, technological advancements can rely on archaeology.

This is definitely possible.

So MEI...

Mei was actually quite unhappy and angry about this. After all, he wasn't someone with a strong antisocial or anti-human personality.

They have also received a good education and have a complete set of values.

When I saw this scene.

She really couldn't accept it!

If it were a game, she could take a closer look out of curiosity. But this was reality! Real reality! Two girls who looked to be under 13 years old.

The body, already incomplete, is preserved in such a culture tube.

Look at them.

God knows how many experiments and tortures it has endured!

This is a direct challenge to the bottom line of human morality!

This also challenges the current bottom line of MEI.

"If you want to explain," MEI said, adjusting his glasses, "It would be best to finish in three sentences. I don't want to hear that much."

"Actually, this is about saving lives," Raven quickly explained. "It's not like what you're thinking; it's not about using those children for experiments."

"We are trying our best to save them."

Raven watched MEI's gaze; MEI clearly didn't believe his explanation.

Her response can be summed up in one sentence. "Keep making things up! Keep making things up!"

"I didn't make this up!" Raven said, taking a deep breath. "If you're going to tear this place down, then these two kids are doomed."

"I think giving them a quick death is better than this," MEI said, arms crossed, "Enduring this kind of pain."

"But we don't have the power to decide a person's life or death, right?" the Raven said. "They are also trying very hard to live."

"Doctor Mei, whether you believe it or not," Raven said, "We are indeed trying to save them. They were on the verge of death when they were brought here."

"Without this equipment, they would be dead."

"You could even say they are alive."

"It's a miracle."

"But judging from the wounds," MEI said, "Their wounds were deliberately inflicted, unless they were used as subjects for human experiments before they came here."

"And..." MEI picked up a document and said, "This is a DNA research report."

"It's about DNA research on these two children."

"This thing."

How do you plan to explain this?

"Keep the children alive," Raven said, taking a deep breath. "That's the key to keeping them alive."

"Some of their tissues were indeed removed," Raven said. "The culprit behind all this is Honkai infection; they encountered Honkai."

"Most people died; they were just one of the lucky few who were sent here."

"We tried to save them."

"Is that so?" MEI said indifferently.

"Yes," said the Raven. "That is indeed the case."

"Heh~" MEI sneered and said, "I'd like to know, which big shot came up with this medical plan for you?"

"Jackal," Raven said, "She said that the two children can't be saved by ordinary methods. So we need to use some other means."

"For example, Gene Fusion?" MEI asked rhetorically.

"I don't understand this," Raven said somewhat helplessly. "You know I'm not a researcher, so I don't understand the specifics."

"But the Jackal said that this could save the two children."

"So I agreed and allowed her to build this thing here."

MEI didn't say anything after hearing Raven's explanation, but a quick look at the materials revealed that they were mostly about DNA research—specifically, research on the DNA of these two children.

Although MEI doesn't think Raven told the truth, Raven didn't lie either.

Or perhaps the Jackal only said half of what he meant and didn't finish.

Based on my observations of Raven over this period, it does seem a bit dim-witted, especially when it comes to research and knowledge. Therefore, this creature is definitely not the type to be associated with evil scientists.

Therefore, this is definitely for other people to use.

It seems that among all the World Serpent, only that Jackal is the chief scientist.

There will be no one else but her.

Therefore, Raven was probably not lying; this is indeed a Jackal's laboratory. And considering the Jackal's previous experiments involving Gene Fusion...

However, neither her experimental subjects nor her experimental techniques could be advanced to the human stage.

The difference in distance between them is simply too great.

So, according to the Raven, this Jackal is definitely also involved in Gene Fusion. Its ultimate target is undoubtedly humanity, but since its knowledge and methods are insufficient, it's left behind.

Let's save the lives of these two children for now, and study them again when we have a better understanding of the situation.

But putting everything else aside, those chosen by the Jackal must have something special about them. If they were just ordinary children, the Jackal would probably send them straight to the crematorium.

Even so, isn't the Jackal afraid of causing some bad things?

Judging from the current situation, that guy has no chance of getting to the level of a human.

"Alright," MEI said, "Then I'll trust you for now."

"Where did these two children come from?" MEI asked casually. "What are their names?"

"Rosaliya Arlene," the Raven said. "Liliya Arlene."

"A pair of twins from Lucia."
