The nth time I met my puppet

The doctor was reluctant to answer, and the two of them remained in a stalemate. Wan Nan was also frightened by his stare.

"Are you afraid?"

Wan Nan swallowed unconsciously and shook her head, trying hard to control her facial expression and remain calm.

"No."

"Really? Then... why are you shaking?"

The smile on the doctor's face became even wider, as if he was appreciating something, but also with some profound meaning. Wan Nan always felt that he seemed to have seen something, and the scalpel in his hand unconsciously exerted a little force.

Until the blade pierced through the skin, the stinging sensation actually calmed her down. Fortunately, her hands were already covered in blood, so even if they were bleeding, it wouldn't make any difference.

Wan Nan also woke up completely. If he hadn't seen such a bloody scene as soon as he opened his eyes, it would have been hard for him not to be shocked.

If she had been mentally prepared, she wouldn't have been frightened. But now she was able to stay calm, otherwise she might have had to start over again.

"How could that be? Doctor, you must have seen it wrong."

Wan Nan showed a very normal smile, as if he had never been afraid at all.

The doctor still had a smile on his face as if everything was under control, but fortunately, he did not take any other action in the end. He just took the scalpel and continued with his experiment.

Wan Nan finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had been playing the role of assistant with trepidation. Fortunately, the doctor was doing his experiment seriously. Apart from the scary scene in front of him, which made Wan Nan feel a little nauseous, there were no accidents.

The doctor left after finishing the experiment, leaving only a corpse that looked like a pile of rotten meat in the entire laboratory. Wan Nan's back was already soaked with sweat, and he was just about to take a break.

Then a few more people came in from outside the laboratory. They cleaned with numb expressions on their faces, as if they were already accustomed to this bloody scene.

"Another one died... The number of experimental subjects is dwindling, and few can survive. If there are no new ones, we will be the ones to die."

"Okay, stop talking. Have you forgotten the consequences of talking too much?"

Wan Nan also cleaned silently without saying a word.

She was actually not used to such bloody scenes. Looking at all this, she always thought of the doctor doing experiments on her corpse, so she found it difficult to accept.

But she could only suppress her nausea and clean, trying not to show any abnormality. The doctor was too smart and too sensitive. If she showed any flaws, she would probably suffer the same fate...

After the cleaning was finished, Wan Nan thought he could finally rest, but the others suddenly said.

"The doctor has assigned you to take care of the surviving experimental subjects. Don't worry, it's not complicated. As long as they're alive, they're considered alive. If they die, you'll be responsible for the consequences."

This was actually his task, but he was lazy and afraid of taking responsibility, so he simply pushed it to Wan Nan. The others kept silent as well, as long as he didn't push it to them.

"Well...what are the consequences if I die?"

"Haha... then of course you will take over. Become the doctor's new experimental subject."

In fact, the consequences are not that serious. Unless in some special circumstances, the doctor will not attack his subordinates unless it is necessary. Wan Nan shrank back unconsciously when he heard this.

"Alright, go ahead. They won't live for many days anyway. We just need to make sure they're alive before the doctor uses them for experiments."

Wan Nan had no choice but to follow their instructions. Although he had prepared himself mentally, it was obvious that he was not prepared enough. There were all kinds of people imprisoned in the cells.

What she was holding in her hands wasn't even leftovers, it was pig food. At first, she even thought that most of the experimental subjects here were animals, with only a few being humans...

But she still underestimated the doctor's cruelty. All the prisoners here were human beings without exception. There were all kinds of people, big and strong men, thin and delicate girls, and even many children.

There are also some people who have obviously undergone some mutations and their original appearance is unrecognizable.

Some of the experimental subjects who were under intensive care had no food and relied solely on nutrient solution to maintain their vital signs. The food she was holding in her hands was for these experimental subjects who were not cared about at all.

Everyone here might have been someone's family member, relative, or friend. Even those children who look pale and skinny now can be vaguely seen to have been well-raised by their families. They might have been the treasures of their families.

And now, everyone here is not treated as a human being.

Here they may be worse than animals, and here they are just like waiting to die. Many people have lost hope in their eyes and are waiting for their own death blankly.

Wan Nan was once again shocked by the scene before her. She thought she was actually a cold-blooded person, but she still couldn't imagine the doctor's cruelty.

Wan Nan couldn't bear to watch the scene in front of her. The thing in her hand looked like pig food, but she wanted to share it with everyone here...

Wan Nan was a little hesitant. She knew that the people here might not live for many days. She felt pity for them and wanted them to have something good to eat before they died. She didn't want them to eat these.

But Wan Nan also knew that this was not what she should do. If she did so, her identity would be exposed, and she would become one of them.

This was undoubtedly a huge risk, so she finally did as she was asked.

"Big sister...I don't want to eat this."

The child grabbed Wan Nan's sleeve and looked at her with innocent and pure eyes, hoping that she would show some mercy.

Wan Nan remained silent.

Wan Nan might have some sympathy for them, but he had no relationship with them after all. Moreover, Wan Nan was a rather cold-blooded person and would not risk his life just to help with such a small favor.

"Sorry…"

"Is that so... It's okay, big sister, this is not your fault, you don't have to apologize. I know these things have nothing to do with you. Your eyes are different from theirs. They never look at us like human beings..."

The child forced a smile and continued.

"Only you, your eyes showed heartache and anger, but not disgust or contempt. That's why I stopped you. If it were them... I wouldn't dare to do that."

The child couldn't help but shudder when he mentioned this. It was not before that he had asked others for help, but he was either scolded or ruthlessly kicked away. Over time, he no longer dared to ask for help.

But he had been a very observant child since he was young. He saw the heartache and kindness in Wan Nan's eyes, so he mustered up the courage to hold her back.

"Big sister, my name is Yan Lin, what's your name?"

Yan Lin did not feel frustrated about his failure in asking for help. After all... as long as Wan Nan stopped, it was already a success for him, and he did not want to give up, so he took the opportunity to get closer to her.

"My name is Wannan... I'm sorry I can't help you."

"It's okay, just talk to me..."
