100% Pure Serum Test Subject
"I will find out the truth. After all, I am just a newcomer and there is still a lot I need to learn."
"Next time, it might be my turn to initiate a conversation with you."
"..."
Xiao Xiao emptied his magazine, put his gun away, and slowly turned to leave.
The Suit Man stood there stunned. Hearing Xiao Xiao's calm words, he felt a sense of panic. He was actually very unwilling because Mingming felt that he was about to persuade Xiao Xiao. Moreover, he had finally gained the upper hand.
But a voice kept yelling at him through the headset:
"Don't stop them, don't stop them..."
"Are you crazy?"
"He had been trying to summon those tormented and twisted creatures, and our shielding field immediately collapsed."
"..."
The Suit Man could only watch as Xiao Xiao's figure disappeared into the underground parking lot, obeying his superior's orders.
For a moment, I felt a sense of emptiness in my heart.
Just a little bit more, just a little bit more and I could have convinced him...
Xiao Xiao went back upstairs and glanced at his mother, who was still fast asleep.
My father left sometime ago, without even leaving behind the few supplements he had mentioned.
He slumped down on a bench in the corridor, feeling waves of pulsating sensations pounding through his brain.
He chose to trust his feelings and distance himself from the man who made him feel dangerous.
However, the conversation just now still made him think of some issues, and he suddenly felt extremely depressed:
"If what that Suit Man said was true, and I've just been immersed in a huge illusion..."
"Wouldn't I have been nothing more than a stubborn and eccentric child for such a long period of time?"
"Wouldn't the one who suffers the most be the mother who is alienated and indifferent by her own child?"
"..."
A strong emotion welled up inside him, and he felt compelled to find out the truth about everything.
He took a deep breath and suddenly stood up.
He quickly walked up to the nurse on duty and took out his card:
"This is my card. There's some money in it. The PIN is six 1s. Please take care of my mother for me."
"I have some things to do, I'll be back soon."
"..."
After giving his explanation, he quickly turned and left the hospital, already holding his phone in his hand.
Yang Jia.
I must go see Yang Jia at this time.
Only Yang Jia could resolve some of the doubts in my heart.
The young nurse, however, stood there dumbfounded. This scene was obviously against regulations, but the boy really...
... It looks so good!
After a long pause, she suddenly nodded vigorously and said loudly, "Don't worry, I will take good care of Auntie..."
"Yang Jia, I have something I want to ask you."
"Okay, I'm at East Mountain Hospital. You can come directly to me."
"..."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Xiao got into a taxi outside the hospital.
Because he had too many doubts and his mind was too chaotic, he couldn't say anything to Yang Jia on the phone. He could only rush to talk to her face to face. Yang Jia's reaction seemed a bit strange. She wasn't curious at all about why Xiao Xiao suddenly wanted to see her so late. Instead, she directly gave him her location, her voice frighteningly calm.
Meanwhile, as Xiao Xiao got into a taxi and left the hospital area, some people who had been paying close attention to him breathed a slight sigh of relief. The Suit Man had already brought the mother and child out of the underground parking lot and met with Xiao's Father.
At this moment, Xiao's Father was still very nervous. "Is that so? It must be?"
"He, my son, is also a madman trapped in hallucinations? Is his mother one too?"
"This shouldn't be happening..."
"Didn't we already say that he had been completely cured?"
"..."
"That's not something you can ask."
But in response to Xiao's Father's nervousness, the Suit Man put on a serious face. "Although you are also on the list of people under special protection, all you need to know is that we are protecting you from some forces that defy common sense. In return, you need to do your best to support us. Apart from that, you only have the minimum privileges in this protection program and are not qualified to know anything about these things."
"My younger brother..."
Before Xiao's Father could say anything, the aunt suddenly cried out, "He beat my brother to death..."
"Aren't you all going to do anything about it?"
"Call the police! Why don't you call the police and have this madman arrested?"
"..."
"Call the police?"
The Suit Man turned to look at her with a strange expression and said, "The Guard Hall can't handle people like this."
"Furthermore, I hope you can calm down, madam. You should understand that although you are on the protection list, your identities and all your information are transparent to him. If he wants, he can pull you into the 'mother's womb' immediately..."
"... or rather, it exists merely as a puppet of the mother host."
"At that time, not to mention your brother, you would be willing to do anything for him, including killing your other relatives with your own hands."
"..."
Both Xiao's Father and the aunt were stunned on the spot, their expressions extremely terrifying.
After calming the people down and agreeing to take them to the lab for radiation testing on the spot, the Suit Man walked to the roadside and silently lit a cigarette. Only then did he realize that his legs were trembling and he had to try several times to light the cigarette.
"That's terrifying..."
"To face these people head-on without any protection is terrifying..."
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Suddenly, anger surged within him, and he couldn't help but dial a phone number:
"Are you really sure this mental defense system is effective?"
"Aren't you afraid that if he just glances at me silently, I'll have my self-awareness erased and become his puppet?"
"..."
"Based on the information we have gathered so far, he is not someone who likes to pollute others indiscriminately."
The voice on the phone was calm, a woman's voice with a cool tone. "Besides, he hasn't been inside the Mother for long, at most he only has level two access, so theoretically he shouldn't be able to use too much of the Mother's corruption capabilities..."
"So, you should be... safe."
"Should..."
The Suit Man's lips twitched, seemingly harboring strong dissatisfaction, but he suppressed it.
After a long silence, she suddenly said, "If you want to see him, but won't let me tell you the whole truth, what's the point?"
"There's no way you can convince him like that; he can easily find a way to verify the vulnerability..."
"..."
"The point above wasn't for you to persuade him."
The voice on the phone said, "Just convey to him what we want him to know, that's enough."
"Why?"
The Suit Man found it hard to understand.
First they abandoned him, then they wanted to get rid of him, and now they've sent me to contact him, but they've concealed crucial information.
What are those cowardly turtles thinking?
"He is a special existence, and his appearance was also an accident for those above him."
The voice on the phone seemed to pause for a moment, considering whether to tell the Suit Man what he had to say, but after a pause, it said softly, "He was among the first to undergo drug trials, and the only one who could withstand 100% pure Zero Serum without immediately collapsing. Of course, he is no longer of value in terms of drug trials, but now he may gain something in other areas."
The Suit Man felt a slight stirring in his heart. "For example..."
The voice on the phone said, "For example, let a stranger come and prove the existence of the mother body himself."
"This..."
The Suit Man suddenly thought of another possibility and said in a trembling voice, "You..."
"I'm not at a level where I understand these things..."
"You guys aren't planning to deliberately arrange for me to meet him, only to have him corrupt me and obtain this information afterward, are you?"
"..."
There was a pause on the other end of the phone, then a sudden laugh, "How could that be?"
When Xiao Xiao arrived at East Mountain Hospital, he saw that the huge building seemed to be submerged in the night. Only a few scattered lights occasionally emerged from the thick darkness, looking like sneaky eyes blinking.
He had just gotten out of his car when he saw Yang Jia's white SUV parked not far from the hospital entrance.
Yang Jia was sitting in the driver's seat with the window down, silently smoking.
Xiao Xiao got into the car and remained silent for a long while before whispering:
"I met a very strange group of people today, who seemed to be senior investigators from the Black Forest Biological Laboratory."
"Judging by the time, it should be about time you meet them."
Yang Jia said softly, "They probably think that you are our only hope in solving the Rotten Kingdom."
Xiao Xiao suddenly looked at her and said stiffly, "They said you ruined me."
The atmosphere inside the carriage seemed to become dull and oppressive. Mingming though we were on a mountain, we couldn't hear any insects chirping.
"Yes."
After a few seconds of silence, Yang Jia nodded slightly.
Xiao Xiao remained motionless, simply watching her silently, seemingly without even shifting his gaze.
"We can discover those who are awakening, or find those who are about to awaken."
Yang Jia spoke softly, saying, "In that situation, I actually had two choices. First, I recommended that you receive treatment from the indigenous people. Perhaps they could cure you. If you did that, you would not truly awaken, or even if you did awaken, you would fall into a deep sleep again. You would continue to live as an indigenous person until death, or until you awaken a second time..."
"The other one is to let you see the truth of the city directly and awaken completely."
"..."
After a slight pause, Yang Jia said, "I didn't give you two choices back then; instead, I took you directly to see this city."
Xiao Xiao was overwhelmed with complex emotions and couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
Yang Jia was silent for a moment, and after a long while, she said with some uncertainty:
"Perhaps it's because I've never seen such a strong sense of rejection in you before?"
"Or perhaps, I witnessed your outstanding performance in counterattacking Jiang Cheng."
"Of course, I wouldn't rule out the possibility that during that period I was already experiencing severe loneliness. I returned to Black Gate City, but I was powerless to solve the problems there. Therefore, deep down, I also longed to have another companion..."
"... But you can certainly understand it as me taking away your right to continue living as an indigenous person."
