The Little One (Second Update)

Geng Ji said, "In addition, we obtained an injection and compared its composition. It indeed contained the same gene sequence as the 'Progenitor' sample. Likewise, the sample we acquired had clearly been diluted many times through special methods. They were likely searching for a concentration the human body could accept."

Besides Lu Jiu, Chi Li, Si Jinyan, and Geng Ji, there were several faces unfamiliar to Chi Li.

Jie Zheng said gravely, "They used the blood originally collected from the Marshal, diluted it repeatedly, and conducted experiments in an attempt to implant it into human bodies?"

Jie Zheng was the base's second-in-command, with authority second only to Lu Jiu.

Geng Ji said, "Yes. Based on the current evidence, that is exactly the case."

Previously, the base had extracted tissue fluid from several captured Aberrant Forms for analysis and found gene sequences similar to Si Jinyan's in all of them. Those similar genes were called the "Progenitor" sample.

They had previously only suspected that the emperor was conducting such modification experiments, until Geng Ji brought back conclusive data, samples, recordings...

After the meeting ended, Geng Ji stopped Si Jinyan. The others consciously left, and Chi Li was about to leave as well when Si Jinyan caught his wrist.

Grinding his teeth, Geng Ji said, "Yao Di has been conducting experiments on a massive scale, using living people as test subjects. He has gone mad."

Si Jinyan lowered his eyes slightly
