Room Full

The little girl's figure quickly disappeared behind the metal door, and the survivors continued forward.

The test was conducted in four teams of about fifty people each, so it didn't take too long.

Carlos was at the end of the line, and after Yu Xing look at him, it would soon be his turn.

Coincidentally, the Lingren was also in a later position in another team. He stepped forward, rolled up the sleeves of the cleaning team's combat uniform, and calmly placed his arms on the long table.

The inspector in charge of testing the Lingren was the same one who had just tested Luo Jue. This time, however, he remained silent and completed the testing process extremely quickly, as if there was some unspoken understanding between them.

Yu Xing gazed at the Lingren's retreating figure. Although he was currently only a consciousness, he still habitually wanted to squint his eyes and scrutinize the Lingren.

It feels like ages since we last met.

The figures that I used to find so terrifying and so despairing suddenly became ordinary after being in the same space, and seemed... not dangerous at all.

Of course, this is just an illusion.

Lingren are very good at hiding in the crowd and assimilating themselves, but such hiding is only temporary. When Lingren decides to expose himself, he may very well destroy the entire crowd.

After the test, Lingren walked through the small door like everyone else. Just as he was about to turn the corner of the corridor, he seemed to notice someone watching him and turned his head to look.

He's Magician.

The Lingren gave Carlos a meaningful smile, his bright eyes revealing a hint of malice.

Carlos: "..."

It's not like I'm the one who wants to see you.

It was Yu Xing who made him bring the Lingren into his sphere of influence!

And what was the meaning of that glance? Was it telling me that I'd come back to find me later? Was it a threat?

While Carlos was internally grumbling, Yu Xing had already lost interest in the test.

His gaze lingered on the masked test subject for a moment. Carlos was almost in line too. Remembering Carlos's warning about the strange testing method, Yu Xing said proactively, "This test is definitely harmful to the human body. Be careful. I should go back now. I'll come find you again tonight."

His body is still in the archives.

Although he has a mark on his body that he can sense if someone gets close, he is not fit to stay here any longer in this situation.

Carlos typed Morse code with his fingers. For some reason, even though it was a form of communication that could only be converted into text, Yu Xing imagined Carlos's nonchalant tone in it. "Take care, dear captain~"

"Next," the tester called out to Carlos.

Yu Xing instantly withdrew her consciousness and slipped away.

When he was possessed, Carlos didn't feel anything was strange. But as Yu Xing left, he felt as if his soul had suddenly become lighter, as if he had just walked over a mountain. He now felt so light that he was about to float away.

Carlos touched the tip of his nose, puzzled.

Is Yu Xing's condition gradually worsening? Is this a side effect of possession?

With this lingering question in mind, he stepped forward.

Having successfully passed the test, Xiao Yao turned around and gave him a thumbs-up, her lips seemingly saying, "Don't be afraid."

The recorder interrupted Xiao Yao's encouragement to Carlos, calmly saying, "What are you waiting for now that you're done? Don't block the way. The lounge over there is full."

He pointed to Xiao Yao: "Let's go to the other side."

There was also a metal door on the other side, behind which seemed to be another rest room. After the tests, some people felt dizzy due to pain, while others needed to rest due to fear or other reasons.

Each person who enters through the metal door can rest in the lounge for 5-10 minutes. The time it takes for the person in front to leave and the time it takes for the person behind to enter are not necessarily the same, which causes the lounge to gradually become crowded.

Several people had previously moved to the other door after the lounge became full; Carlos was used to this, as the testing base always arranged it this way.

Xiao Yao walked away reluctantly, turning back to look at him repeatedly, appearing unusually clingy.

Carlos rolled up his sleeves and began the examination.

It has to be said that watching your arm flesh being cut open by a sharp blade is a terrible feeling, especially when it doesn't bleed normally after being cut open, but instead feels like a piece of pork that has already been separated in a market, split in two along the grain. That experience is truly peculiar.

Pain and nausea surged up at the same time.

Carlos felt like meat on a chopping board, a laboratory rat, his skin cut open and his blood collected. His stomach churned, and he felt nauseous.

He had actually seen far more bizarre scenes than this, but for some reason, he always felt nauseous during the tests.

The examiner inserted a needle into his wound; the sharp tip touched his flesh, causing excruciating pain.

Carlos appeared calm and composed on the surface, but in reality, he had cursed the base 800 times.

The inspector sprayed the wound with the spray, and the pain was significantly reduced. There was a tingling, itchy sensation like ants crawling on the crack, indicating that it was almost healed.

Carlos clutched his wound and stood aside, watching the examiner place his blood sample into the machine. A green light appeared, and the examiner smiled, "You've become quite famous lately."

"?" Carlos glanced at the person conducting the test, puzzled.

He didn't know the person conducting the test, so why was the other person chatting with him?

Could it be that they've discovered some clue?

That shouldn't be the case.

"Many people say you're a Magician, that you know a lot." The inspector's attitude towards him was quite good. "My sister has heard your stories, and she says it's very comfortable talking to you."

"I see." Carlos responded politely, a forced smile appearing despite the pain, whether he believed him or not. "Although I don't know who your sister is, I welcome her to continue seeking me out for stories. Haha, all I have to offer is experience."

"Stop, that's enough. You can go to the lounge over there too." The recorder pushed up his glasses and frowned as he reminded him.

This man in the suit wasn't just indifferent to the survivors; he was the same to the inspectors. After instructing Carlos to follow Xiao Yao's steps, he reminded the inspectors, "Don't chat with anyone. Let's finish this quickly so we can get some rest."

The inspector chuckled and, as expected, fell silent.

Carlos was quite far back in line; after he finished his test, there were only a few people left behind him.

He walked down the dark corridor, where torches were burning on both sides, as if the base's energy had regressed to a time long ago.

After taking a few steps, Carlos sensed someone watching him.

He looked up and, sure enough, saw a rotating surveillance camera overhead.
