Seeing that Ya Ya seemed to be in pain and confused, Chen Xiao's heart stirred again, but he quickly changed the subject: "Don't think about this now, let me ask you again... what exactly is going on with those guys, the ones you mentioned, the numbers six and eleven?"
This question finally diverted Ya Ya's attention, and she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, quickly giving an answer.
Based on Ya Ya's description, Chen Xiao began to develop a rough framework in his mind.
As Ya Ya said, it seems that there are other blue-blooded humans, including Ya Ya, but they all live in a place that is closed off from the outside world (it must be isolated from the outside world, otherwise she wouldn't be so ignorant of basic life skills), living alone in something called a "bio-pod".
On ordinary days, there are some strange people who take care of (or rather, guard and imprison) Ya Ya and other blue-blooded people. Ya Ya calls them "them"—and when "them" is mentioned, Ya Ya always shows a look of fear.
Ya Ya and the other blue-blooded people seemed to have become "their" test subjects. According to Ya Ya, her blood was regularly drawn from her. She never asked why and had long since gotten used to it.
As for what happened after that, Ya Ya didn't know. She claimed that she was in hibernation in a very, very large "Biological Warehouse No. 16", and then when she woke up, she found herself in Chen Xiao's house.
So... who is this Three? Who is the mysterious person who mailed this to me, supposedly commissioned by my parents?
Ya Ya was unaware that she had no knowledge of the existence of this "Three".
In other words, her experience from "Biological Warehouse No. 16" to Chen Xiao's home seems to be blank.
Given Ya Ya's self-proclaimed terrifying "photographic memory," and her ability to memorize a 300encyclopedia of daily life in just one hour, Chen Xiao also believed that she couldn't have forgotten that memory. The only explanation was: brainwashing?
This matter is becoming increasingly complex and profound!
Moreover, Chen Xiao had a vague feeling that this matter might bring him considerable trouble!
As the article on the internet said: Blue-blooded humans are a near-legendary existence—presumably extremely rare and precious!
As for the place where Ya Ya was before—let's assume it was an organization. This organization had the ability to control several blue-blooded people, and this kind of power made Chen Xiao more vigilant!
Chen Xiao wasn't sure how powerful such an organization was, but he could imagine that it must possess enormous wealth! Not to mention anything else, the so-called "biological warehouse" where Ya Ya and the other blue-blooded people lived was said to be more than 600 times larger than his own home!
Ya Ya is number sixteen... So, can we guess that this organization once controlled at least sixteen blue-blooded people?
What stirred an overwhelming excitement within Chen Xiao was: Could this organization be related to his parents? And thinking even deeper… were his parents' deaths truly an accident?!
chaos!
My mind is in complete chaos!
Seeing Chen Xiao sitting in front of the computer in a daze, Ya Ya didn't disturb him. She just walked over, stretched out her soft little hand, and gently placed it on Chen Xiao's shoulder. She remained silent, but her frosty eyes gazed softly at Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao was stunned, feeling overwhelmed with a thousand thoughts, not knowing where to begin—what could he possibly do to investigate?
Chen Xiao knew about the research institution where his parents worked before they passed away. It was a research institute that studied a certain type of chemical liquid gas—it had little to do with bioengineering. Moreover, the institution wasn't very large, because ordinary wealthy people like his parents could become partners. Chen Xiao knew a bit about the research institute where his parents worked; he had even visited it twice.
Chen Xiao had met many of the researchers from that place... It didn't seem like the mysterious and cold place Ya Ya had described.
In short... it seems a bit dangerous for Ya Ya to be with me!
Because... daring to experiment on living people, whether ordinary humans or blue-blooded beings, proves in itself that this organization possesses power that transcends the law!
A blue-blooded person is definitely very valuable. Suddenly having one in my hands... could it bring me trouble?
After having a general idea in mind, Chen Xiao abandoned the idea of taking Ya Ya shopping. Instead, she left Ya Ya alone at home, telling her not to go out and even drawing the curtains. Only then did she go out to shop alone.
Chen Xiao went downstairs, retrieved his bicycle, and just as he stepped onto it, he suddenly felt a strange sensation. He looked up and gazed at the rooftop of a residential building across the street.
The afternoon sun was very bright. On the rooftops across the street, only the heat conduction devices of a few solar water heaters were reflected in the sunlight, which was a bit dazzling. Otherwise, there was nothing unusual.
(Maybe I was too nervous.) Chen Xiao sighed and rode away quickly.
On the rooftop of the building Chen Xiao had just been looking at, a faint, blurry outline appeared in the air, resembling a transparent human figure.
That's right... it is indeed transparent!
The humanoid figure only slowly appeared after Chen Xiao turned and left.
The weather in May was already quite hot, but this figure was wearing an extremely tight leather jacket! The close-fitting leather jacket perfectly outlined the curves of her body, revealing her to be a woman with a hot figure.
She had short black hair and a delicate face that should have been beautiful, but her eyes were a bit too narrow. Although she was a very beautiful woman, her facial features seemed somewhat incongruous and fierce because her eyes were too sharp.
As she watched Chen Xiao walk away, a strange smile appeared on her lips.
"Hmph, even though he's just an ordinary person, he's still quite perceptive."
As she spoke, she gently pressed her left ear. She was wearing a device similar to a wireless earpiece for mobile phones, but the only difference was that a thin, transparent glass lens extended out in front of her left eye, making it look like a monocle.
The woman in the tight leather outfit gently pressed the earpiece, watching Chen Xiao's back. Immediately, a soft crackling sound came from the glass lens in her left eye, and a string of short numbers flashed quickly across the lens.
"Intelligence, unknown (data lacks information)."
Strength, Rank D (Normal).
Speed, Class D (Normal).
Endurance, Grade D (Normal).
Energy level, D level (Normal).
Combat skills, C-rank. Oh... your combat skills seem slightly above average.
The woman in the black leather jacket frowned: "Aside from his unknown intelligence and slightly higher combat skills than average, he's no different from anyone else... just an ordinary person. Sending someone like me to monitor a useless ordinary person, are the people above out of their minds?!"
Before her complaints could finish, a chuckled voice came through the earpiece: "Black Seven, do you have any questions about the orders from above?"
"Hmph!" The woman called "Black Seven" sneered, "I was supposed to go to Greece to carry out another interesting mission, but instead I've been sent here to do such a boring thing. After this mission is over, I will definitely write a report questioning this."
The voice in the earpiece seemed to chuckle: "If you want to appeal, I won't be joining you in signing this petition. Okay, get back to work and stop complaining. If the higher-ups find out, they might send you on a mission to Antarctica. Alright, you keep an eye on that blue-blooded girl at home, I'll keep an eye on the target."
