"They can accelerate my growth, but what about Song Qi? How does she explain it?" Song Yu interrupted Zhang Xiye.

"We speculate that it's related to twins," Zhang Xiye said. "There's very little research on twins in the entire interstellar empire, and we can't explain this. Or perhaps the original experiment required the embryo to be split into two in order to work."

"It could also be because our bodies are actually two mutually reinforcing sacred trees, not some kind of experiment." Song Yu hated the word "experiment." She looked at Zhang Nanyi and asked, "You... want to continue your research on me?"

Song Yu suddenly wanted to leave here. The image of the mutant research base kept appearing in her mind.

Zhang Xiye was about to say something, but was stopped by Zhang Nanyi.

"Song Yu, I know you were taken away by primitive people and used as an experimental subject. You grew up drinking potions in a laboratory. This interstellar empire has given you nothing. You are the person in the world with the least reason to contribute to the reproduction of the human race." Zhang Nanyi said, a rare hint of heartache in her eyes. "But the current population ratio is indeed too unbalanced. We don't need to reach the 1:1 ratio of the past, but at least we can allow humanity to continue to exist."

"No one wants to experiment on you. We just need your cooperation. The First Military Region has been researching for forty years. If they can get some samples from you, their technology might advance by leaps and bounds." Zhang Xiye's words sounded much colder. "Song Yu, you're already SSS-rank. No one can force you. We just want to make a deal with you."

"I don't agree to this deal." Song Yu didn't even want to listen, because she knew that after Zhang Xiye learned about her life experience, he would definitely offer her a bargaining chip that she couldn't refuse.

"Disagree?" Zhang Xiye's eyes were like knives. Don't you even want to hear our bargaining chips?

"I disagree." Song Yu smiled a bit evilly, like a child who had succeeded. "Principal Zhang, the First Military Region has spent many years conducting experiments. Whether the technology has made any progress or not, what does it have to do with me?"

"This is a matter that concerns all of humanity!"

"Since it concerns all of humanity, let all of humanity do it. Doesn't anyone in the human race agree with your experiment? They are reluctant to let their daughter become an experimental subject, but want me to pay the price for it?" Song Yu's gaze changed, and he leaned back on the sofa, wanting to end this conversation.

"So, this is the deal." Zhang Xiye said, "How about the information on all the people involved in your abduction?"

Song Yu frowned.

"I know you've killed those primitives, but taking a baby girl away is definitely not something that a dozen primitives can do. That hospital..."

"Alright, Principal Zhang," Zhang Nanyi interrupted her, pulling out a stack of paper documents. "Song Yu, this isn't a deal. Those officials and doctors who allowed the primitive man to enter the same hospital, those who neglected their duties, and those who colluded with him, have all received the punishment they deserve."

Song Yu picked up the papers. Some of those people accepted bribes to facilitate the primitive man's entry into the hospital, some were bribed to secretly hide some of Song Han's test results and replace them with those of other pregnant women, and some heard the crying of two children but did not say a word because of 20 star coins.

Of course, there were also a few people who refused to help the primitive people conceal the truth, but after they made their attitude clear, they were quickly silenced.

The most serious of those were sentenced to life imprisonment or sent to the military as a private, while some were only sentenced to two or three years in prison. The families of those who were assassinated also received some compensation.

Song Yu lowered her head. She had no intention of causing trouble for those people. She knew many people must have been involved in what happened back then, and the hospital wasn't a fortress; it was impossible for it to remain silent. But she was alone, and for now, she could only focus all her energy on tracking down the original man. She couldn't take care of so many other things.

did not expect……

"Your teacher and her match went on a rampage in the courthouse and police station," Zhang Xiye sneered, "otherwise, things wouldn't have happened so quickly."

Song Yu could imagine how much of a deterrent Zhang Nanyi and Duan Tianya together would pose to the court and the police station. They had accumulated power for a long time, unlike himself and his matches who had just been promoted. Many people started to get scared just by hearing their names.

"Also," Zhang Nanyi said, pulling out a paper book, "This is the notes of an SSS-level matcher from hundreds of years ago. It records some of his imaginations about what it would be like to break through to the SSS level."

Song Yu was stunned, "Break through SSS level?"

Zhang Nanyi finally laughed, as if he had regained his sense of superiority as a teacher. "Of course, SSS is the highest level humans have ever reached, but that doesn't mean humans can only reach SSS. You're only 23 years old, and you might become the first person to surpass SSS. No one knows what that will be like, what kind of power you will gain, or even if it's possible..."

Zhang Nanyi stopped talking here, and Song Yu looked up at her.

"Achieve eternal life."

"Eternal life?" Song Yu was surprised. A life span of more than three hundred years was already a long time. Eternal life, that was just a fantasy.

"It's not necessarily immortality, just a longer lifespan," Zhang Xiye broke Song Yu's fantasy, "like a thousand years, two thousand years."

Song Yu fell into deep thought. She'd been promoted so quickly, leaving her no time to think much. Now that Zhang Nanyi had mentioned it, she felt she could surpass SSS level, perhaps even higher. What would that be like? Song Yu didn't know. Her only thought was that she had to intensify the training of her matches, especially the Ouyang brothers. Otherwise, what would happen if she, immortal for thousands of years, only had a lifespan of a hundred?

"Okay, now we have no capital to negotiate, let's stop here today." Zhang Xiye stood up dissatisfied.

Song Yu did not move, precisely because Zhang Nanyi did not use these to trade with her, which made her a little hesitant.

Could she really abandon humanity's survival? Song Yu knew that she probably couldn't. Even if he refused her this time, she would agree someday, perhaps when Zhang Xiye's attitude was no longer so stubborn.

"I have a traumatic experience with the lab and will not go back to it. I will not participate in any anatomy experiments."

"Dissection?" Zhang Xiye looked at Song Yu in surprise. She suddenly understood something. "They, I mean, primitive people, use vivisection?"

Song Yu held up ten fingers. "I was young back then, and I didn't understand a lot of things, but they had amputated and put back every finger on my ten hands, as well as my arms, and maybe my legs too. They tied me to the hospital bed, plugging me with tubes for ten, twenty days, until my back and buttocks were rotten from the pressure, and my tailbone was almost broken, before they let me go. They also seemed to have cut off some people's brains, trying to connect them to the machines. I was a precious female experimental subject, so I escaped those experiments..."

Zhang Xiye's face turned red quickly and his knuckles creaked.

Song Yu said that he was an experimental subject, but those details were not recorded or circulated. Song Yu did not want his shameful past to be known by everyone who read the records.

"They..." Zhang Xiye squeezed out a voice from between his teeth, "Once we find them, I will personally bring my matches to help you eliminate them!"

Zhang Xiye has two SSS-level matches. Although they are not young anymore, their combat effectiveness cannot be ignored.

Zhang Nanyi had heard Song Yu's self-narration in the Deep Blue Planet conference room, but she still only had a vague understanding of it. After hearing this, she couldn't kill those primitive people immediately.

"The First Military Region's experiments aren't like that," Zhang Xiye finally explained. "We'll only take some of your blood, hair, and skin tissue for research. We might need more blood, but we won't take too much at once. At most, we might need one of your eggs. If all goes well, we might even help you develop a fertilized egg. After implanting it in your body, you can have a daughter. The technology for egg retrieval is very mature now. It's painless and you won't feel anything."

"Song Yu," Zhang Nanyi's voice rang out in a deep voice, seemingly unwavering. "You're no longer that helpless child. You're an SSS-level Pacifier. No one, not even the military, would be so arrogant as to try to send you back to the lab."

So Song Yu finally agreed. While the first half of the conversation wasn't smooth, the second half was quite pleasant. Zhang Xiye, like Zhang Nanyi, had a tough personality but a clear sense of right and wrong. She promised that the experiments she was leading would never be as cruel as those of the primitive people, whether it was to the SSS-level Song Yu or the androids.

She looked at herself. Was this SSS-level ability a reward for participating in all the experiments? With a self-deprecating smile, Song Yu left the Imperial Military Academy.
