Number three, a healthy boy; number six, a healthy girl. Today, they conducted in vitro...mating on a pair of test subjects!!
"October 4th... I haven't written in my diary for a long time. Lately, I've felt very panicked, my heart is filled with fear and unease. The embryo that number three and number six mated with died, marking the failure of the experiment. Number six was quickly sent to another area, and I haven't seen number six since... Where exactly did they send number six?"
"November 1st. Today those guys rudely searched my room! I think this is a trampling on my dignity! They didn't find my diary, but I was still warned. The higher-ups have decided to require me to undergo an internal assessment. They suspect I have mental problems."
"November 30th, today I received news that terrified me. I just passed the internal assessment and can return to the lab, but I don't think it's good news—I really want to leave here. But... I've discovered that it seems impossible! Because today my husband came home and told me something: Professor Musa, who was fired, and my former assistant Jack, both died in car accidents shortly after leaving, and their families also all died in accidents."
Was this an accident?
Upon reading this, Chen Xiao clenched his fist.
The words are filled with the mother's worries and anxieties; she and her father seem to be trapped in an inescapable shadow.
The diary entries became increasingly fewer, as if the mother had lost the will to write them. And those few words that did appear were filled with a deep sense of anger and fear.
These records document how that "research institution" conducted experiments on living humans and made other insane decisions. For example, they forced test subjects to mate, producing hybrid offspring. They also injected test subjects with a pathogen and observed the viral antibodies in their bodies, and so on…
shocking!
As the story progressed, the mother seemed to be on the verge of a mental breakdown. Moreover, judging from her writing, her and her father's lives had been threatened by that organization more than once! It even seemed as if the organization was subtly threatening to use its own lives to coerce her parents into continuing their research.
Moreover, it seemed that his entire family was under the surveillance of that organization. Even his parents' extremely limited trips back to China to see him were conducted under the supervision of that organization.
Looking back, it seems I didn't realize it at all back then. Now that I think about it, when my parents came back to visit me a few years ago, they were in a bad mood, cold and taciturn. At that time, I was young and rebellious, and I only resented my parents' indifference towards me, without noticing the worry and fear in my mother's eyes.
Finally, the diary turned to the last page, which had no date on it.
"We've made our decision! We can't let this evil continue! And we can't wait any longer! Ya Ya is the last, the last surviving experimental subject. She is a precious treasure to the whole world! Those bastards are about to subject Ya Ya to horrific experiments; we cannot allow that to happen!"
I am not afraid of death, but I must protect my child!! Just now, I personally destroyed all the 'purification' in stock, leaving only the last one in Ya Ya's bio-pod.
That is our last legacy to the world, the culmination of our years of research. I don't know where this thing will lead our lives... but I trust you, my friend.
My friend, Black Three, I'm entrusting this diary to you. If you are still my best friend from back then, please keep it safe and, unless absolutely necessary, please do not pass these things on to my son.
I only hope that he can live under a clear blue and free sky!
This was probably his mother's last writing, as the handwriting was messy and clearly hastily penned. At the end of this passage, however, there was another line that Chen Xiao recognized—it was his father's handwriting:
"The direction of life should not be in the hands of a small group of people."
Seeing her parents' familiar handwriting, Chen Xiao was already in tears!
"I hope he lives under a blue and free sky..."
A clear blue and free sky...
With unusual trembling in her fingers, Chen Xiao gently held the notebook in her arms, pressing it against her chest, but did not wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
He gently picked up the last item inside—the round metal cylinder. He pressed lightly on the edge, and with a hissing sound and the sound of airflow, Chen Xiao deduced that something seemed to be preserved inside the metal cylinder using a vacuum method.
"Purification? What a strange name..." Chen Xiao slowly pulled open the metal tube. Inside were several thin metal supports, with a sealed glass test tube about the thickness of his finger fixed in the middle. Inside the test tube, a light blue liquid shimmered with a chilling light...
It was blue, as pure as the sky after a summer rain when the sun shines brightly.
Is "purification"... the name of the liquid in this test tube?
Chen Xiao gently touched the metal cylinder and discovered a line of words engraved on it with a thin, sharp object:
(Purification—this is the last legacy we leave to the world.)
On the rooftop across the street, Hei Qi frowned as she looked at Chen Xiao's window. Although the curtains were drawn, her finger pressed on her earpiece, and a transparent outline immediately appeared in the lens of her left eye. The walls and curtains could not block her view at all!
She witnessed Chen Xiao find those things at the bottom of the freezer. Hei Qi's eyes showed a hint of surprise and astonishment as she watched Chen Xiao read the letter and notes. Finally, when Chen Xiao opened the metal container, revealing the blue test tube inside...
Black Seven, the woman in the leather outfit, actually trembled slightly!
She jumped to her feet: "Damn it! How could he have this?!"
At that moment, a resolute glint appeared in her eyes—Damn it! How could the organization not know about something so important?! How could such a thing fall into the hands of an ordinary person!
Without the slightest hesitation, Hei Qi took a few steps back, took a deep breath, and stared intently at the window of Chen Xiao's house in the building across the street. Immediately, a cursor locked onto the location of that window on the lens of his left eye. Then, Hei Qi kicked his left foot back hard...
*Crack!* A soft cracking sound rang out as the stone slabs on the rooftop shattered slightly under her foot. Suddenly, Hei Qi's body shot forward, her slender form tracing a graceful, light arc through the air, easily traversing the at least twenty-meter gap between the two buildings. The window before her grew larger and closer…
Bang!
The windowpane shattered with a loud crash. Chen Xiao still clutched the blue test tube in his hand. The living room window was completely broken, and a black figure suddenly leaped in! The force of the attack was devastating, instantly piercing the window and scattering shards of glass. The black figure crashed in, landing heavily on the ground, then rolled on the spot before leaping up with surprising agility. Before even regaining his footing, his body twisted in mid-air, and with a whoosh, Hei Qi pulled a strangely shaped gun from behind him. The pistol seemed slightly oversized, with a bulky-looking sight mounted on the muzzle. A faint blue light rapidly gathered on the sight, emitting an eerie blue glow…
"Put down what you're holding!" Black Seven's face was stern, and his tone was chilling: "It's very dangerous!"
Chapter Twelve of the Main Text: [Rather Die Than Be a Broken Jewel!]
Chen Xiao was stunned by the woman who suddenly appeared out of the window. He looked at the gun in her hand and then at her face. A thought flashed through his mind: This woman looks just like the Red Seven he'd seen during the day!
"Put it down!" Hei Qi's voice carried an unusual wariness. Her eyes were fixed on Chen Xiao's hand, as if she dared not miss even the slightest movement of his fingers.
"Who are you!" Chen Xiao stood up instead, clenching the thing in his hand tightly. "Who are you!"
Hei Qi's eyes were cold, yet seemed to carry a hint of tension: "You idiot, do you know how dangerous what you're holding is! Put it down! Otherwise, I won't be polite! Even if you're under my guardianship, I will..."
Chen Xiao seemed to calm down instantly. His eyes narrowed slightly, and facing the black-clad woman who exuded a chilling aura, he felt no fear whatsoever: "You broke into my home... to steal my parents' belongings? Who exactly are you!"
"Hmph, you've asked for trouble." Hei Qi made a decision instantly. A blue light quickly condensed at the muzzle of her gun, and then the light shot hard into Chen Xiao's body!
...
Is it... electricity?!
