699: A Moment to Feast (16)_1 699: A Moment to Feast (16)_1 Undoubtedly, there was no way to conceal my violent behavior towards Cynthia.
At this moment, the entire Underground Research Facility was probably watching this office.
Fu Qian was even quite certain that a group of guards was already blocking the door outside.
But there lies a problem: the guards did not rush in immediately.
Even though they had surrounded the office, they did not intervene until Dr. Cynthia was forced to look into the mirror.
This behavior could not help but be described as quite subtle.
Considering everything that happened in the office was under surveillance, Fu Qian understood that all of his actions from start to finish were still being treated as a case study.
That is to say, in the eyes of the project leader, until this moment, he had not yet stepped outside the framework of the test.
The reaction of Cynthia at this moment also proved this point.
A glance was enough to see the spirit of dedication for science.
In fact, this was one of the reasons Fu Qian didn’t let Cynthia keep looking.
As the observed subject, as long as he kept his behavior within certain limits to make them feel in control, there would still be room for maneuver.
But if he chose to break through the five-minute mark, that would be an absolutely malicious incident.
Then, the only option left would be to fight his way out in Shura Mode.
Under such chaos, finding the real Gaya Ulrich would be out of the question.
Although my SAN Points had once again broken a hundred, I could not afford to waste them so recklessly.
“A special case, so you’re still observing me?”
At this moment, in line with the researchers, Fu Qian put away his smile and spoke with an unfriendly tone.
“I’m merely doing my duty, just as you are observing me. Why bother getting caught up in such a trivial concept?”
Cynthia had by now completely regained her composure.
“All you need to know is that it’s better for you to continue as an observed subject under the current situation.”
“Even if you kill me, you won’t be able to get out, and the only thing that awaits you is an even more miserable fate.”
“However, if you make another choice, I believe the company will acknowledge your contributions to a considerable extent.”
After a series of gentle persuasions, Cynthia looked at Fu Qian’s cold face.
“I believe we have reached a consensus?”
“What do you want me to do?”
Fu Qian was silent for a moment before finally relenting in his tone.
“You don’t need to do anything, just wait.”
Cynthia, having regained control of the situation, finally showed a smile, and the next moment the door to the office was opened from the outside.
A corridor full of guards parted to make way for a familiar figure that walked in.
Gaya Ulrich?
Even the real one?
Fu Qian always clearly remembered the people he had killed.
So he was very certain that the person rushing over at this moment was not the substitute that had appeared first last time, but the stronger number two that had shown up later.
It seems my performance this time was indeed even more eye-catching to them.
Unfortunately, past experiences had shown that even if I twisted off this person’s head, the mission would not be completed.
“A very special case.”
In the face of the newcomer, Cynthia commented indifferently.
“Cognition remains unaffected, but power has indeed experienced an exaggerated growth.”
“This seems to pose a significant challenge to our previous conclusions.”
“I see it, a truly astonishing increase in strength.”
Brother Gaya replied, examining Fu Qian from head to toe.
He showed not the slightest concern for his colleague’s recent ordeal.
“Mr. 9527, I can imagine how you feel right now.”
“Experiencing such a transformation, anyone would feel as if they’d hit the jackpot, like the Child of Destiny among millions of failures; a bit of showing off at this point is completely understandable.”
Gaya looked at Fu Qian, his tone gentle.
“Unfortunately, my years of experience have told me that no Transcendent power comes without a price.”
“So, although you may feel that you passed the test of Soul Guidance and your cognition is flawless, I would still suggest that you examine yourself more carefully, such as… your emotions.”
Gaya glanced towards Cynthia, signaling to Fu Qian about his behavior just now.
“Even with your excitement, from your perspective, it’s hard for me to imagine you would do that kind of thing to a tester, don’t you think?”
