At this moment, Shang Jianyao suddenly felt a sense of numbness in his body.
Bang!
He fell to the ground and muttered excitedly, “Awakened…”
His voice suddenly rose. “There’s no grudge between us, so why are you intercepting me? How much did they pay you? I’ll pay double!”
His half-body paralysis quickly subsided.
He implanted the Awakened with the idea that everyone should peacefully coexist and walk their own paths.
Upon seeing that his abilities had taken effect, Shang Jianyao propped himself up with one hand and jumped to his feet.
His target was the end of the corridor.
Behind him, the guards rushed out one after another. In front of him, the enemies—who had been in a rush to hide—reorganized their defense line.
Shang Jianyao opened his mouth again, attempting to shout.
At this moment, the Shang Jianyao that sought novelty hissed in his mind. “That’s not right. This isn’t called facing danger directly.
“This isn’t considered dangerous at all. The room owner’s greatest fear that she finds most dangerous is to be captured! I have to face this danger!”
With a swoosh, he stopped and raised his hands. He then slowly squatted down and placed his palms on the back of his head.
Black figures flew over as guards pinned him down.
Before long, Shang Jianyao was tied up and gagged.
He widened his eyes, curious about what would happen next.
He was soon fixed to a metal bed. A few humans in light-blue masks and white coats walked over.
“What do you plan on doing to me?” Shang Jianyao asked in fear.
The white coat leader blurted out in surprise, “Aren’t you gagged?”
After asking, he realized that a new mouth had grown out of Shang Jianyao’s forehead. This belonged to the one who sought novelty and was filled with the desire to act.
“That’s right!” The mouth opened and closed in frustration. “I forgot!”
He then said, “Begin. Do whatever experiment you want. I won’t say a word and will only watch!”
The next second, the mouth disappeared.
However, pairs of eyes appeared on Shang Jianyao’s cheeks, chin, chest, abdomen, and the back of his hand one after another without blinking.
The eyes of the people in white coats became extremely terrified.
Someone shouted, “Men! Men, inject him with anesthetic—using the standards of an adult elephant!”
Shang Jianyao’s ten pairs of eyes witnessed a syringe—which was as thick as his forearm—inject the liquid into his body.
He muttered to himself, “Face the danger directly with courage… Face the danger directly with courage…”
Just like that, he fainted and had a good sleep.
When he woke up, the laboratory was empty.
“What kind of change is this?” Shang Jianyao sat up cross-legged and stroked his chin. “The room owner was indeed captured back then and was also injected with anesthetic. What he saw when he woke up was this scene? His psychological trauma is this place, not this matter. Therefore, it’s considered a success no matter how I escape?”
The ‘strategy guide’ provided by Pangu Biology was to escape the place and advance bravely.
This also counted as clearing this psychological trauma; nobody had tried to be captured previously.
…
495th floor, Zone C, Room 11.
Long Yuehong was lighting a lamp and packing up his clothes.
After finishing this matter, he sat down and planned on resting before washing up. Since he had nothing to do, he took out the Babymaker talisman his mother—Gu Hong—had given him.
As his finger stroked the yellowish talisman’s surface, Long Yuehong suddenly felt that something was amiss.
This piece of paper was relatively new and didn’t look like it had been passed down from his grandmother’s generation.
