"What did you say……"

The air was silent for a few seconds, Yi Shuyun sat sideways in front of the screen, staring at Chu Ci blankly.

Chu Ci's words made her at a loss, and she felt unbelievable about all this.

"Impossible..." Yi Shuyun responded without confidence, and his gaze unconsciously turned to the electronic screen beside him.

"Is that Mr. Shi lying to me? Why did he do that?" Chu Ci asked again, "I was right in front of him, and he knew my identity, but he didn't research me in any way that would hurt me. Why lie to me? Does it do him any good?"

Some people have a long life, but they have never felt a little tenderness.

Who treats her well, who treats her as a "person", she doesn't say it, but she is very clear in her heart.

Chu Ci believed Shi Wenlin's words. Compared with the Floating Void City Base, which never treated her as a human being, she should really believe that such an old body is trying to save everyone, and only wants to help the people who committed crimes. The old man who redeemed his sins.

But she also believed in Yi Shuyun, believed that in this institute, the only one who cared about her thoughts, the only one who was willing to let her go.

So she asked again, with an almost pleading look in her eyes: "Doctor, do you know anything? Can you tell me?"

Yi Shuyun was silent.

On her left is the inhibitor of the base in the fog area. This thing and the complex research data on the screen will help the base solve the problem that human beings are bound to mutate once they are infected at the fastest speed.

She should be happy, but she suddenly couldn't laugh.

She said it was impossible, but she told herself in her heart that Chu Ci would not lie to her.

This child will not hide his emotions, and when he lies, he must avoid everyone, and he will not look at her directly like this.

She is the current guardian of sample A0027. She has the highest authority over everything related to sample A0027. The confidential files are also classified into different levels. The number of people in the entire base who can read the top files of this sample can be counted on one hand. Come here, if there is something that needs to be kept from everyone, she shouldn't be kept in the dark.

Unless... history was really recklessly compiled by the predecessors.

It is impossible for the archival records of important samples to be in error for a full year.

If what Chu Ci said is true, and if what the senior in the scientific research field in the base in the foggy area said is true, then there is indeed only one possibility. The base did try its best to conceal some unspeakable things back then. Regarding Chu Ci, About Old World Secret Institute.

They didn't even leave any information behind, and they didn't intend to tell future generations, they just wanted to keep that secret completely dusted.

What is it that made people at that time make such a decision?

What do they want, and what are they afraid of?

And what did this child suffer because of it?

Yi Shuyun found that he knew nothing about it.

She looked at Chu Ci with earnest eyes, unable to utter a word for a long time.

Chu Ci's eyes dimmed inch by inch, and she got the answer in Yi Shuyun's silence.

"You don't know." She said softly, her tone was determined and disappointed.

Yi Shuyun opened his lips slightly, but in the end he didn't know how to respond to the disappointment of his disappointment.

Chai Yuening: "Is there anyone in the research institute who might know?"

Yi Shuyun shook her head, perhaps because her mood was not stable, her eyes were a little distracted: "No one in the research institute will know what I can't know."

Her fingers on the keyboard unconsciously stretched slightly, and her brows were furrowed, as if she was thinking about something seriously.

She said: "Even the most confidential files have to be tampered with in this way. What the base wants to hide is definitely not simple. They may wish that the truth will disappear with time. It is impossible for anyone who has not experienced that incident back then. Know."

"If you were really an experimental project of the secret research institute, then there would be very few people who were qualified to participate in the experimental surgery back then, and might know the truth. Their status would not be too low, and their age would not be too young..." Yi Shuyun Frowning tightly, "50 years have passed, and if the youngest one is still alive, he would be in his 80s."

After the destruction of the old world, the living environment of human beings is far worse than before, and the pressure of survival is much greater than before. The average life expectancy has been shortened to about 50 years old, and there are very few old people. Suffering researchers?

In today's base, will anyone know the truth back then?

Yi Shuyun told Chu Ci with great regret: "Judging from the compilation of the history of the base, after the completion of the Floating Void City, they did go to the secret research institute to save many scientific researchers and brought back some of the research results at that time, but those seniors Long ago..."

At this point, Yi Shuyun's pupils suddenly constricted a little.

She remembered something, and unconsciously muttered a name: "Senior Zhang Hanqing..."

At that moment, Chai Yuening and Chu Ci seemed to see hope.

"Doctor!" Chai Yuening stepped forward excitedly, "That person may know the truth, right?"

Yi Shuyun lowered his eyes slightly: "She is a researcher who participated in that fusion operation."

Chai Yuening: "Where is she?"

Yi Shuyun hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "She...she mutated in front of your eyes."

At that moment, the window was closed tightly, the sky outside the window was full of clouds and mist, the air seemed to freeze, and the whole research room was silent.

Chai Yuening remembered that Yi Shuyun had told her that the old Jiuxun who had mutated into a black vine in front of her was a researcher who had participated in Chu Ci's fusion surgery back then.

More than 20 years ago, under the protection of the military, she once again went to the secret research institute in the old world with the research team.

Since that return, he has become the one who is talking nonsense, confused, and talking nonsense every day.

Most importantly, that person was actually infected by the black vine.

Whether in dungeons, floating cities, or bases in foggy areas that people have never discovered, every study has proved that black vines cannot infect humans. If black vines want to affect human bodies, special methods must be used. Such as fusion surgery, or injection of black vine energy extract.

Moreover, even if the fusion operation or the injection of the extract is performed, the experimental subject itself will not mutate any of the characteristics of the black vine, at most it will be abnormal in the body, just like the contagious madness in the old world, the body changes are far less than Infected by strange beasts——Chu Ci is an exception.

What is even more outrageous is that the mutation occurred more than 20 years after the old man was last exposed to the source of infection.

A human was infected by an undetectable infection on the ground, and after an incubation period of more than 20 years, it completely mutated into a black vine that humans judged to be non-infectious.

No one could explain this phenomenon, a problem that drove all the researchers at the Institute crazy.

"The day that senior had a mutation happened to be the day when the laboratory experiment failed..." Yi Shuyun said in a deep voice, "Her mutation, her madness, may really be inseparably related to Chu Ci .”

Chu Ci couldn't help but took a deep breath, a spark of hope lit up in her eyes, but it slowly extinguished.

"She's dead." Chu Ci lowered his eyes.

"Yes, she's gone." Yi Shuyun took a deep breath.

The room suddenly fell silent, and no one spoke.

After an unknown amount of time, Chai Yuening asked, "What about the words she said? She must know something. Those words that made people think she was crazy must have some meaning! What did she say?"

After the words fell, she remembered what Yi Shuyun had said.

——She said that she saw God, saw the sin of mankind, and said that destruction is the destination of sinners.

—Can we believe this?

Chai Yuening couldn't believe it.

If those words are really related to Chu Ci, then who is Chu Ci?

Chu Ci standing beside her at this moment, the Chu Ci who once dedicated himself to human science, could it be the "god" who sent down punishment on this world?

This is too ridiculous.

Chai Yuening firmly believes that there are other secrets hidden in it, and she wants to help Chu Ci find out the truth of the year.

Yi Shuyun: "It's been too long, and I can't remember many things clearly. No one would care about the crazy words she said at that time. What I can remember are only the craziest few sentences. .”

"She has a family, and there are many people who have taken care of her. They may have heard something!" Chai Yuening said, "As long as you find them, you will definitely know something."

"But your current identities cannot move freely in the base."

"Doctor..." Chu Ci frowned slightly.

Yi Shuyun was silent for a long time, then sighed softly: "I will help you, but this matter must not be made public."

She thought she might be doing something very dangerous.

Such a decision may be unforgivable for the base.

But her conscience told herself that she had to.
