[ Mirror Dream Flower ]? Is that the flower bud that caused Ye Yiqing and the other two to hallucinate?

How did it recognize that it was Variant?

No, I seem to be able to sense the unique aura of other Variant as well. Could it be that other Variant can sense it too?

Hela thought to herself, and at the same time, she regretted her decision to join the Night Star.

But it's too late for regrets now.

"How about it? Want to make a deal with me? My price is that I'll keep this secret for you, and guarantee that no one else will know about it during the recruit training period."

Seeing Hela deep in thought, Wang Canxin rested his chin on his hands and spoke slowly and deliberately.

After a moment's thought, Hela decided to compromise, since if her identity were exposed, death would likely be just a matter of minutes.

She didn't want to experience being bombarded by Thunderstorm again.

"Okay, I agree. What do you want?"

Hela suddenly felt that this scene was somewhat familiar, somewhat like the scene in the pornographic movie that Xing Lan and she had secretly watched wrapped in the blankets.

Could this Wang Canxin in front of me also want to...?

"Heh..." Just as Hela was lost in thought, Wang Canxin suddenly laughed, a laugh as if his scheme had succeeded.

"It seems that what [ Mirror Dream Flower ] said is indeed true; you really are [ HeLa Cell ]. I didn't expect you to believe just a few words from me."

(☉_☉)?

Hera was Hela. She blinked her large, peach-colored eyes, and after a moment's thought, she realized what she meant.

He'd been tricked into revealing information by the person in front of him!

Wang Canxin wasn't even sure if he was a [ HeLa Cell ], but by saying it, he was essentially admitting that he was indeed a [ HeLa Cell ]!

Humans are indeed incredibly cunning.

"Don't worry, I didn't come here specifically to trick you into revealing information to confirm your identity."

As if sensing Hela's thoughts, Wang Canxin waved his hand at Yi.

"While I did have an ulterior motive of extracting information, my primary motivation was to make a deal with you."

What transaction?

Hela didn't care about all that anymore. She figured she'd learn from her mistake and not fall for their tricks next time. She just needed to deal with the immediate problem first.

"It's very simple, one piece of information and one favor." Wang Canxin held up two fingers.

"Regarding intelligence, tell me why you disguised yourself as a human, and whether you have any plans."

Another question is whether you possess human emotions, and whether you have a natural hatred for humanity.

Wang Canxin asked his question.

"I want to live," Hela answered quickly.

"If I don't become human, I'll be killed by humans. I don't want to die."

"Then do you have human emotions?"

When asked this, Hela for a moment, then shook her head.

"I don't know, I've only ever had a strange feeling about one person."

"Who?"

" Han Xiaoxiao."

Suddenly, Wang Canxin raised an eyebrow, but quickly recovered.

Hela continued,

"I have no natural hatred for humans, nor have I ever hated anything else. I don't know what hatred feels like."

"And what about people of other Variant? Do you feel a sense of belonging or affinity towards Variant?"

Wang Canxin continued to ask questions, while Hela continued to shake her head.

"No, I don't have that strange feeling about the Variant either."

However, I can sense their presence without using sight, smell, or hearing.

"That means you can sense Variant, but you don't feel a sense of belonging to them."

Hela nodded obediently, while Wang Canxin lowered his head and began to think.

After a long pause, he raised his head again. "Alright, that's enough information."

Next comes the matter of personal favors, which is easy to understand: it means that if I need something in the future, you should do me a favor if possible, okay?

"I can only help with one thing," Hela, staring into Wang Canxin's eyes.

"That's right, I'll only help one." Wang Canxin nodded firmly, "And even after basic training is over, I won't reveal your secret."

"Okay, I agree."

"Happy transaction." He then stood up and extended his hand.

Hela stared at it for a moment, then sat up and stretched out her hand as well.

Then the two shook hands.

"By the way, here's my contact information. It'll be easier to get in touch later." He then handed a slip of paper to Hela.

Hela released her grip on her hand and took the note.

" Hela! What the hell are you doing!" Suddenly, Instructor Hongwei's roar came from outside the door.

Then the cafeteria door was kicked open.

Hela: ⚆_⚆

Seeing that the two were well-dressed, and then looking at his own appearance, Instructor Hongwei instantly realized how filthy his thoughts were.

"Ahem, ahem! Um, next time don't run into blind spots in the surveillance cameras. And Hela, come with me."

Instructor Hongwei coughed awkwardly, then called Hela and hurriedly walked out.

Hela nodded blankly, then stuffed the paper into her pocket and left with Instructor Hongwei.

Wang Canxin smiled slightly as he watched Hela's departing figure, then sat down again.

"What were you doing with Hela just now?" After a while, Han Xiaoxiao also came over and naturally struck up a conversation with Wang Canxin.

"Nothing much, just chatting and I asked her a few questions."

Han Xiaoxiao sat down opposite him. "What did you ask?"

"I managed to get some information out of her, asking her whether she had [ HeLa Cell ] and about her past memories."

Then he glanced at her current attitude. " Wang Canxin replied without changing his expression.

"How about it?"

Just as she told you, she indeed has no previous memories and no memories of [ HeLa Cell ] at all.

Regarding her stance, she was indeed on the side of humanity, after all, [ HeLa Cell ] didn't seem to influence her thinking.

He then looked at Han Xiaoxiao and asked, "Do you still have a prejudice against her?"

Han Xiaoxiao lowered her head and then softly hummed in agreement.

"Every time I see her, I'm reminded of my friends and family who were killed by [ HeLa Cell ]. Although I try my best to control myself, I still can't help but hate her."

As she spoke, Han Xiaoxiao clenched her fists again.

Seeing this, Wang Canxin said nothing more and got up to leave.

"I can't offer you any more advice. All I can tell you is that Hela, like you, is a victim of [ HeLa Cell ]."

She's just been symbiotically linked to something else, and sometimes her situation is even worse than yours.

As I said before, Hela is Hela, and [ HeLa Cell ] are [ HeLa Cell ]."

After saying that, he left, leaving Han Xiaoxiao alone sitting there, head bowed in thought.

Instructor Hongwei led Hela to the door of the instructor's office.

Upon opening the door, one could see Ye Yiqing sitting inside, along with the instructors.

Seeing that Hongwei had brought Hela, Qin Gucheng, who was standing next to Ye Yiqing, spoke to him.

"Alright, you can go now, Ye Yiqing."

"Okay, thank you for your help, Instructor," Ye Yiqing replied politely, then walked towards the door.

As he passed Hela, he secretly gave her a wink before leaving the instructor's office.
