In the dimly lit room, various surgical instruments and detection equipment were neatly arranged in various places.
The sheer number and variety of items made the room appear somewhat cluttered.
The curtains in the room were tightly closed, and not a single ray of sunlight could see in from outside.
The only light from the roof illuminated Xiao Huan, who was strapped to the operating table.
Its golden exterior reflects light even in dim light.
Xiao Huan's third foot on the left twitched twice unconsciously.
The two colorless eyes slowly regained their light.
"Uh, where was I again...?"
Oh, I remember being Hela's translator.
So where am I now?
Xiao Huan's eyes darted around.
"Scalpel... defibrillator... saw... syringe... and the things strapped to my body..."
--!!!"
Xiao Huan suddenly woke up and found that her petite body was bound with threads thinner than a hair.
Moreover, every single leg was bound, and even the wings were tied with a perfectly knotted rope.
To be able to complete such delicate work is definitely not something an ordinary person can do.
But Xiao Huan's mind isn't on that at all right now.
Because it caught a glimpse of a slightly overweight man wearing glasses, with his back to it, holding a syringe and adjusting medication, right in front of the operating table.
The man was wearing a white lab coat, and in the dim light, his silhouette looked incredibly sinister and terrifying.
It's like...
Frankenstein's monster in the movie!
Ah--! Tooth-destroying butterfly--!
Boss, save me! I don't want to die! I'm only thirty-eight! I can't die!
Xiao Huan screamed in her heart, and her voice was transmitted telepathically into the head of the mad scientist in front of her.
"Wow, you woke up so quickly. I thought you'd be awake for a while longer."
The man's voice, which sounded like a half-smile, reached Xiao Huan's ears.
Then he slowly turned around, revealing a face that looked extremely excited, reflected in his glasses.
"Don't come any closer!"
Xiao Huan screamed as the despicable man walked towards her step by step with a syringe in his hand.
"Hmph hmph hmph..." The man chuckled eerily, squeezing out the excess air from the syringe.
The needle slowly pierced Xiao Huan's operating table.
"Don't be afraid, let me study you carefully. You're a very rare type of mental Variant, and I won't let you die quickly."
These words, like whispers from hell, washed over Xiao Huan's soul.
Click--
Just as Xiao Huan was about to be scared to death, the room door was suddenly pushed open.
Bright light streamed through the open door, illuminating the dimly lit room.
Xiao Huan turned her gaze over, as if she had grasped at a lifeline.
"Boss, save me! This mad scientist wants to study me!"
Xiao Huan shouted, its voice even carrying a hint of a sob.
Although Hela couldn't understand why it spoke with a sobbing tone when it was using its mind, she didn't care and calmly walked in.
"Hello, Hela!"
Tuote bowed politely to Hela, leaving Xiao Huan, who was on the operating table, completely bewildered.
"Hmm, is Xiao Huan alright now?"
Hela nodded slightly, pointed at Xiao Huan, and kept her eyes fixed on Tuote.
Tuote raised his head slightly, revealing a confident expression.
"Don't worry, boss, I'm quite confident when it comes to Variant species."
I dare say I am the only human in the world capable of curing diseases in Variant species.
Hela nodded in satisfaction, a hint of appreciation slowly creeping onto her emotionless face.
"As expected of my subordinate."
After saying that, he awkwardly patted Tuote on the shoulder.
"Boss, what's going on?"
Xiao Huan felt her mind was a bit confused; wasn't this plot a little too surreal?
The mad scientist who had kidnapped him and wanted to use him as a paving stone was actually his boss's underling.
That is, one's companions.
But she's human! Why would he call Hela, this Variant leader, "Hera"?
Oh, I see...
Xiao Huan suddenly realized.
I must be dreaming! That's why the plot is so absurd and full of twists and turns.
Thinking about this, Xiao Huan suddenly understood, and her tense mind gradually relaxed.
"Hmm, this dream was so realistic, and so absurd."
Xiao Huan was thinking to herself, not even realizing that she had activated telepathy.
"Now if I close my eyes, I should be able to wake up, right? I don't want to stay in this dream for even a second longer..."
Snap!
Hela flicked Xiao Huan's head with her pale pink finger, directly interrupting Xiao Huan's incoherent ramblings.
"How are you feeling now? Does your head still hurt? Do you still feel like you're going to die?"
Hela braced herself on the operating table, gazing at Xiao Huan with her large, watery eyes.
Ah, that's right. Only the boss could say something that sounds like a curse but actually shows genuine concern.
This is not a dream!
Xiao Huan finally realized what was happening, and as she looked at Hela, countless thoughts flooded her mind.
who I am?
Where am I?
Who is the man next to the boss?
Why does that man also call Hela "Boss"?
Why is he studying me?
A flood of questions overwhelmed Xiao Huan, leaving it unsure which to ask first.
Clang, clang...
The sound of footsteps in leather shoes drifted slowly in, and Fulan, yawning and rubbing his eyes, walked into the house.
Judging from his appearance, he clearly didn't sleep well last night.
"Hey? Boss, Tuote, what's up? Has that dung beetle-like bug woken up yet?"
Hela turned her head, took two steps to stand in front of him, grabbed his wrist, and pulled him to Xiao Huan's side.
"Tell it what happened, and what happened between the two of you. Tuote and I are leaving now."
Before Fulan could react, Hela and Tuote had already slipped out of the room.
Fulan and Xiao Huan were left staring at each other, wide-eyed.
"Uh, hello, my name is Fulan."
"Um..."
Outside the room.
"So, what were you planning to inject Xiao Huan with back then?"
Hela, who was walking, suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Tuote.
Tuote adjusted his glasses and patiently explained to Hela.
"It's nothing really. I just made a nutrient solution specifically for Variant species, and I wanted to test if it would work."
"Oh." Hela nodded and asked no more questions.
"Boss, don't worry, I've compiled all the data and development direction you needed, and they're in my studio right now."
Thinking of the information he had compiled, Tuote became excited again.
Hela is definitely the most interesting Variant I've ever seen, with an almost limitless potential for power.
And all those unique mechanisms captivated Tuote.
The two entered the studio, Tuote skillfully turned on the computer and opened the documents he had been editing all night.
I turned on the projector that I hadn't used in a long time, and the image on my computer was simultaneously projected onto the screen on the wall.
