While waiting for Cheng Luo, Yu Tang couldn't help but ask the system: "System, don't these people have nightmares?"
Yu Tang: I feel terrified whenever I think about Cheng Luo's spine being pulled out and him lying on the lab table covered in blood.
Yu Tang: If I did such a thing, I would probably never be able to sleep or eat in peace for the rest of my life.
Yu Tang: But after watching for a long time, I found that when these twelve researchers saw Cheng Luo, it was like a penniless man seeing a huge gold mine; their eyes were full of greed.
Yu Tang: I even think I could accept it if Cheng Luo killed them right now.
"Host, where there is light, there is shadow. There are many kind people in this world, but there are also many evil people."
The system was also furious: [These people are insane lunatics obsessed with human experimentation. They have no sense of morality or ethics whatsoever; they probably dream about dissecting human bodies! In this respect, I think they truly deserve to die!]
Yu Tang sighed: To be honest, I'm actually a little unsure how to guide Cheng Luo anymore.
Yu Tang: I have lived in modern society for 28 years and I have never done anything illegal or disorderly.
But when I came to this world and saw these people who don't care about human life, I really... really wanted to kill them.
At this point, a blurry image suddenly flashed through Yu Tang's mind.
Under a sky thick with dark clouds, atop a precipice, stood a man dressed in a moon-white robe, his head adorned with a jade crown, holding a long sword. His voice was cold and clear, yet one could detect an uncontrollable rage within it.
"He did nothing wrong, why are you treating him like this!"
"You claim to be on the righteous path, yet you commit such heinous acts, worse than beasts! What kind of path do you cultivate? What kind of gods do you claim to be?!"
Yu Tang was stunned.
Because the voice was exactly the same as his own.
But he had absolutely no recollection of saying such a thing!
Behind the man lay a young man in black, covered in blood, his long hair matted with blood, obscuring his face.
He struggled to open his mouth, choking on blood, but he didn't care. His voice was hoarse and choked with sobs: "Master, please go quickly..."
[Host? Host?]
The system's voice snapped Yu Tang back to reality: Huh? What did you just say?
"Hey, host, you don't need to doubt yourself, and you don't need to push yourself like this."
The system said: "Just do your best in most things, don't put so much pressure on yourself."
The system really felt sorry for Yu Tang.
He has memories of these worlds, so he knows that Yu Tang always had his own ideas when doing missions.
Even though villains are destined to turn evil, he always tries his best to help them reform and prevent them from falling into hatred and predicament.
Yu Tang: Pressure...?
Yu Tang: It's alright.
Yu Tang: I just feel sorry for Cheng Luo, and I want him to have a better life.
Yu Tang: Moreover, I think that if a person has too much blood on their hands, they will never truly be at peace for the rest of their life.
Yu Tang: On the contrary, it will be even more painful.
Recalling the scene that had just flashed through his mind, Yu Tang's gaze fell on Cheng Luo, and he frowned.
He always felt that Cheng Luo's voice sounded somewhat like that of the young man in black, but he wasn't sure if it was just his imagination.
"Test 303 is complete." The researcher pushed up his glasses, concealing his excitement, and said to Cheng Luo, "You can stop now."
Cheng Luo then removed her fingers from the computer keyboard.
At this moment, the computer screen displayed the message "Database intrusion successful," which took two minutes and twelve seconds.
In other words, Cheng Luo completely broke through the program barrier previously set up by top hackers in less than three minutes and completed the test.
This was only the first time he had ever touched a computer.
I had only ever read books before and had never actually used a computer.
This clearly demonstrates just how strong he is!
"You really are!" the researcher exclaimed sincerely. "Absolutely perfect!"
Cheng Luo's eyes darkened slightly as he looked at the bespectacled man's face, and the image of how this man had operated on him with a scalpel automatically flashed through his mind.
Her slender fingers tightened, but then slowly relaxed, revealing a kind smile to the researcher: "Thank you for the compliment, brother!"
Although Yu Tang didn't say it, Cheng Luo knew.
If a man doesn't like to see himself kill, then he can tolerate it.
After all, he really wanted to... try his best to become the kind of person the other person liked.
"Is it over?" Yu Tang walked up, took Cheng Luo's hand, and subconsciously shielded her behind him. "It's getting late. If there's nothing else, we'll head back now."
He didn't really want Cheng Luo to continue associating with these people.
Just thinking about what these people had done to the young man made him feel bad for Cheng Luo.
"Ah, okay." Because Yu Tang had told them beforehand to treat Cheng Luo gently and not to do anything to provoke him.
So the researchers weren't angry at his attitude and just smiled and said, "After the test is over, we will report the data to our superiors. Tomorrow, the organization will assign Cheng Luo a task based on his abilities. You just need to wait for the notification."
"Hmm..." Yu Tang pulled Cheng Luo aside, said goodbye, and walked out on his own.
Cheng Luo let him pull her along, her gaze falling on their clasped hands, a warm feeling spreading through her heart.
His dog, Tangtang, really is always thinking of him.
Chapter 17
Died for the villain for the third time (17)
"I'm sorry for making you bear with it all this time." Yu Tang's words brought Cheng Luo back to his senses.
As they walked back, Yu Tang said softly, "If you really hate this, I won't force you anymore. Just do what you want, as long as you're happy."
Cheng Luo paused, her expression momentarily blank, before slowly curving her lips into a smile.
He reached out his hands from behind Yu Tang, raised them, and the chains came down from above Yu Tang's head, tightly encircling the man in his arms.
Yu Tang stopped in his tracks, about to speak, but Cheng Luo had already rested her chin on his shoulder and asked in a very soft voice, "Are you starting to feel sorry for me again?"
He laughed: "You only have one heart, and you're always aching for me every day, isn't that enough?"
Yu Tang was stunned for a moment.
“But rather than making you feel sorry for me,” Cheng Luo said, kissing the bite mark on Yu Tang’s neck with practiced ease, her tone incredibly irritating, “I’d be happier if you pampered me in other ways.”
Yu Tang belatedly realized the meaning of those words, his face flushed red, and he gritted his teeth in anger.
That little rascal!
Where did he learn all that slutty talk from?!
"I'm talking to you about serious matters!" Yu Tang scolded him, "Don't give me that nonsense!"
“I’m talking about serious matters too.” Cheng Luo’s eyes darkened as she replied, “Tangtang, I’ve said it before, as long as I’m with you, I’ll be happy doing anything.”
"So, if you really care about my feelings that much," his voice was a little hoarse and muffled, "then never leave me."
But after saying that, he changed to a pitiful tone and said dramatically, "Otherwise I'll cry myself to death!"
Yu Tang was intimidated by Cheng Luo's deep tone a second ago, but the next second he couldn't stand his disgusting voice and quickly pushed him away, walking towards the room.
Cheng Luo watched the man's figure gradually disappear into the distance, as if he were about to fade out of his world.
For no apparent reason, a sense of panic welled up in his chest, and he raised his voice to call out, "Yu Tang!"
Yu Tang stopped and turned around. Seeing that Cheng Luo was still standing there, he said impatiently, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and catch up!"
Cheng Luo was relieved and ran a few steps to catch up with Yu Tang. She took his arm and said in a coquettish tone, "Tang Tang, please don't walk so fast in the future, okay? I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up with you!"
"You can't keep up with me?" Yu Tang rolled his eyes, recalling the afterimage Cheng Luo left when he crossed the 100-meter line during his physical fitness test. "Your speed is almost as fast as a car going over 100 miles per hour. Shouldn't I be the one who can't keep up with you?"
Cheng Luo coughed and instantly got into character: "Waaah, you're being mean to me!"
Yu Tang looked shocked.
Why does he feel like Cheng Luo is starting to take the "green tea" route?
It's absolutely chilling!
After rubbing off the goosebumps all over his body, Yu Tang decided not to argue with him anymore, so he pulled the man forward and they passed by an intersecting corridor.
Suddenly a dark figure crashed into him, grabbed his leg tightly, and cried out, "Uncle, save my sister!"
He looked thin and small, only reaching Yu Tang's thighs. Bright red blood splattered on his white lab coat. He knelt down in front of Yu Tang with a thud: "Please, please save my sister!"
Yu Tang and Cheng Luo were both stunned for a moment, then they saw that researchers were already catching up in the distance.
"Help me catch him!" The researcher was thin and gaunt, with sunken cheeks and a sleazy appearance. He had a gash on his forehead, and blood was streaming down half his face, making him look truly ferocious. "You little brat! I'll kill you!"
"Uncle, Uncle!" The boy dared not loosen Yu Tang's pants. He stared at Yu Tang with wide, red eyes and pleaded, "Please, please, save my sister... I can take her place in your experiments, please spare her. She's too young, she can't take it!"
As they spoke, the gaunt researcher had already run to Yu Tang's side, raising his hand to grab the boy: "You little bastard! You fucking...ahhh..."
A sharp pain shot through his wrist, causing the researcher to bend over in agony, his face contorted in pain.
Cheng Luo's brows were filled with coldness, and his dark eyes were brimming with murderous intent.
He gripped the man's wrist and twisted it forcefully, breaking the bone with a snap, eliciting an even more piercing scream.
Just as she was about to tear the man's entire hand off, skin and all, she remembered that Yu Tang was still beside her.
In the end, I let go.
He feigned a flustered expression: "Ah, no, I'm sorry, brother, I didn't mean to!"
I just saw a mosquito on your hand and swatted it for you!
I accidentally lost control of my strength, I'm so, so sorry!
Yu Tang pulled the boy aside, squatted down, and asked him, "Can you tell Uncle what happened just now?"
As a researcher at the base, how could he not know what was happening there every day?
Previously, we could temporarily ignore it in order to collect information.
