How Do You Know You're Li Yi?
After finding out the patrol and defense arrangements in the Experiment, the three people left.
They brazenly pushed open the door and went outside, then navigated the empty corridor, heading straight for the largest Experiment Field.
As Cheng Shi got closer to the mysterious Experiment, his unease grew stronger. He felt that there was a giant, sinister spear waiting for him Experiment, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why he had this thought.
So, with a mixture of mutual wariness and caution towards their surroundings, the three of them pushed open the Experiment door and went inside.
The moment they stepped inside, the Experiment lights came on one by one, from the entrance to the back of the building.
The three paused, their backs stiffening slightly.
They saw countless Experiment devices in the enormous Experiment before them, with rows and rows of thick cylindrical devices, too many to count, each covered with a black blackout cloth.
At the top of these Experiment devices, various colored pipes, indistinct in appearance, intertwined together, forming the roof of the Experiment like gnarled tree roots.
These pipes converge to deliver a yellowish-green liquid into the Experiment setup, while the other end leads to the "distant" depths of the Experiment.
Out of caution, Cheng Shi the door, but unexpectedly, the other two had the same idea, which resulted in the three of them walking in unison the instant the door opened.
The moment they stepped inside, they both turned back.
"..."
"..."
"..."
[Silence] Arrived upon invitation.
Cheng Shi looked at Li Yi and Gao San speechlessly, then gestured with his hand, the meaning in his eyes was clear: this was also part of the cooperation.
Li Yi chuckled twice, then mimicked Cheng Shi by extending his hand, the meaning clear: when it comes to clearing the way, Singer can't compare to soldiers.
Seeing that there was no way to refuse, Gao San's eyelids twitched twice, and with a dark face, he stepped inside.
"These are automatic lights, there's no need to be so cautious, let's go together."
"You go first. Scholar of Truth should approach the Truth in advance."
The Gao San gritted his teeth. "I am the warrior of Deception!"
Cheng Shi gave a standard smile, pointed to the Ear holes in his Prison Helmet, indicating that he had just gone deaf.
"..."
There was no way to communicate with the experts who played with the leper. When the Gao San stepped into it and saw that he had not triggered any alarms or traps, he began to take bigger steps forward.
He rushed to the first device and, without saying a word, tore off the black cloth covering it.
As the black cloth fell away, a shockingly large cylindrical glass petri dish appeared before everyone.
The petri dish was filled with a gruesome yellowish-green liquid, and floating in the middle of that nauseating liquid was a completely naked human corpse!
White hair, old age, and withered appearance.
No, that wasn't a corpse, because the moment the Gao San tore off the black cloth, the old man in the jar suddenly opened his blood-red eyes!
"Grass!"
Despite his preparations in his Gao San, he was still startled by what he saw. His pupils constricted and his whole body trembled. Instinctively, he turned into a rubber man and did a backflip to retreat. When he glanced around, he found that his two teammates who were originally beside him were gone!
His heart clenched violently for a moment.
But when he landed on his toes and regained his balance, he looked back and found that his two so-called teammates, Li Yi and Cheng Shi, were still leaning against the door frame and had not come in!
They watched their own performance from beginning to end, like spectators watching a monkey show!
"..."
The Gao San's faces were so pale they were beyond description.
Even without seeing his expression, Cheng Shi could tell that his teammate was on the verge of breaking down, and seeing that their fragile cooperation was about to collapse, he "diligently" tried to salvage the situation.
"Tsk, that scared me. I thought a monster was going to come out, but it turned out to be a person."
He strolled in, clicking his tongue, hands behind his back like an old man browsing a flower and bird market, his eyes fixed on the "Experiment" in the petri dish.
He was very curious whether this Experiment subject was captured or "manufactured," because Cheng Shi knew that these Death Sentence criminals were also Experiment subjects, except that they wore Prison Helmet, unlike the Experiment subjects in these jars.
But the red-eyed old man in front of me doesn't seem like a newborn offspring.
Probably no Experiment would create an old man?
"Are they cultivating human life?"
No, this doesn't seem like it. Are these prisoners captured for Death Sentence?
Li Yi also walked in out of curiosity. He looked at the old man for a moment and saw that although the old man had opened his eyes, he was still expressionless and his eyes were lifeless. He knew that the old man had no self-awareness.
After a moment's thought, he walked to the second device in the row, pulled down the black cloth covering it, and another completely naked Experiment subject appeared before everyone's eyes.
This is a young red-haired Bohemian man. Bomedean are a common race in the southern part of the Isle of Hope. They are fair-skinned, tall, and have many spots, making them very easy to identify.
Like the old man, the red-haired Experiment subject quietly opened his eyes the moment the black cloth was removed. His empty gaze looked at the three of them as if he was waiting for something, but the expectant light in his eyes vanished in an instant.
"Removing the black cloth was probably part of the Experiment procedure, but we didn't follow up with the subsequent operations. So, in your opinion, what kind of Experiment was this?"
Cheng Shi walked, he made guesses, looking around with great interest. Then he removed the black cloth from the second vertical device in the Experiment setup where the old man was.
However, the moment the black cloth fell, Cheng Shi's mind went blank, and he was stunned as if struck by lightning.
His arm froze in mid-air, his back was taut, and his pupils contracted sharply, as if he had seen something extraordinary.
Li Yi and Gao San were equally stunned into silence when they looked in this direction.
Because in the eyes of the three, in the second vertically arranged culture tank, there appeared an old man who looked exactly like the first Experiment subject!
White hair, old age, and withered appearance—it's practically a carbon copy of him!
Cheng Shi looked at the old man in front of him with a gloomy expression, and his heart skipped a beat.
Oh no, things are starting to take a strange turn.
Upon seeing the old man's face, Gao San immediately used his agile skills to pull down the black cloth covering a row of more than a dozen devices.
With perfect understanding, Li Yi simultaneously tore down several rows of black cloth, and when dozens of cans filled with yellow-green liquid appeared before everyone's eyes, the atmosphere at the scene underwent an irreversible and subtle Change.
The three of them took a small step back.
Because they saw that in each column there were many identical copies, some three or four, some six or seven, just like the number of prisoners in the prison wearing the same colored uniforms Death Sentence.
However, none of the "same-colored" Experiment subjects here were wearing Prison Helmet, and they all looked exactly the same...
"That's interesting. I'm sure my Li Yi, and I am indeed Li Yi, but you..."
Who exactly is it?
Li Yi carefully drew out a Daggers playing card and placed it in his palm.
Cheng Shi felt extremely solemn inside, but on the surface he still smiled.
"How did you know you were Li Yi? Perhaps...?"
"Am I Li Yi?"
