Chapter 919: Traitor
Chapter 919: Traitor
The email made Han Fei uneasy. The computer told all the researchers to gather at Lab No. 2, but there was no one there. It was like everyone had disappeared. Where has the computer brought the researchers?
The water glass on the table trembled. Small bubbles appeared in the water. The glass suddenly cracked, and Han Feis ears bled. Something invisible was communicating with sounds Han Fei couldnt hear. They had discovered Han Fei. The lights dimmed, and the medical hubs opened. The patients fell to the ground. They climbed up like puppets and stumbled toward Han Fei.
Is someone controlling them? Most of the patients were extremely weak, but some of them had superhuman abilities. In a way, they were not humans anymore. These were more like clothes created by Immortal Pharma for the returners to wear.
The billionaires sent their consciousness into Perfect Life, and Immortal Pharma created a new body for them. When the technology is there, they will send their consciousness into the bodies. In this way, human bodies are no different from clothes. This giant room is like the richs changing room. They can pick any body they want. Immortal Pharma is trying to be God. Han Fei cut off the connection between the patients and the machines. Most of them died permanently while some of the patients appeared to have gained sentience. Even without the machine, they could still commit to simple actions like walking and running.
With the paper doll and Rest in Peace, Han Fei was not afraid of these creations. The worst day was only beginning. He hadnt even seen the thing underground yet.
I need to destroy the figurines and altar. Han Fei tried to leave the lab, but his actions appeared to be monitored. As he tried to escape, a new problem appeared. The siren rang, and the red light flashed. A metallic wall in Lab No. 2 slowly opened. A giant darkroom appeared before Han Fei. The smell of blood wafted out. Even light couldnt cut into that room. It appeared to be a humanmade black hole. Han Fei slowly inched toward the room. He saw the patients lying on the ground. They were marked with numbers and prices. They were like clothes waiting to be sold.
Is someone watching me? Han Fei was too careful to enter somewhere dangerous. However, something inside the room was calling him. The summoning was hard to describe. It was not a sound or smell. It was more like instinct. Han Fei used Rest in Light as a source of light. He seemed to see a small, blurry figure in the dark. It was a child.
As he slowly moved forward, the blurry figure didnt clarify. In fact, as Han Fei got closer, the figure became even harder to see. The light behind him faded away. Han Fei seemed to sink into the mud. He was familiar with this feeling. A long time ago, he had turned away from the light to struggle in despair.
Could that figure be the childhood me? Is there a possibility that Immortal Pharma has retained the data of a younger me? Han Feis way of thinking was different than most since he was young.
Something attacked Han Fei from the dark. It was so fast. Without the protection of the paper doll, Han Fei would have been injured. Han Fei reached his hands forward and touched something. It was the thing the doll killed. Is it a bat or a strung-up head? Han Fei had examined many human heads in the cryptic world. He could be considered an expert. He carefully studied the head. The head that attacked him was very similar to the head of the workers in the fleshy hell. This head was more like a weapon that could be remotely controlled.
The meat puppets in Gao Xings fleshy factory have found prototypes in real life. The wind blew in the dark room. Endless heads attacked Han Fei. Han Fei didnt retreat. Blood dyed the coat red. Han Fei entered the deepest part of the room. He borrowed the light from Rest in Peace and finally saw the secret of Lab No. 2.
In this large room, there was a specialized wall. The wall was made from many clear nutrient tanks. Each tank contained a brain. All the brains mimicked a brain fragment in the center. A number was pasted on the tank that held the brain fragment, 0002.
Is this No. 2s brain? seeing the wall of brains before him, Han Fei chilled. He didnt even feel such fear when facing a ghost. Using his access power, Han Fei opened one of the tanks. The moment he did, the brain inside lost its list. The brain vessels on the brain snapped. Afraid that hed damage the core brain, Han Fei didnt dare to do anything else. Is the figure I saw earlier a mirage or a hint from No. 2? Han Fei found more research documents on human brains and consciousness.
Then, he discovered something horrifying. Deep Space Tech and Immortal Pharma had been collecting brain data through the psychological devices they produced decades ago. They had been collecting peoples private data as experimental data. Since they hadnt been discovered, they became more brazen. When they developed Perfect Life, they did the same thing. Everyone who sued Perfect became experimental targets for the two giants. However, only 99 percent of the users were valid data.
Is this what theyre hiding? Gao Xing was deeply connected to the traitor inside Immortal Pharma. These secrets would help Han Fei in future negotiations. In the past, he thought that Immortal Pharma was impossible to defeat, but the situation was changing. I cant believe this would be my biggest reward. Who would have thought the company was so ugly on the inside? As long as Han Fei could leave this place alive, he had confidence he could deal with Immortal Pharma. Han Fei walked behind the wall of brains. Han Fei saw that the big brain reached underground. A part of this lab was buried in the fourth-floor basement.
There should be another path. Using his luck and hide-and-seek talent, Han Fei found a hidden elevator inside the room. The elevator could only reach specific floors, the 4th floor, the 9th floor, the 18th-floor basement, and the 31st-floor aboveground.
Han Fei compared them with the patrol map. The fourth-floor basement is also marked Lab No. 2. The ninth-floor basement is the waste treatment center. The eighteenth-floor basement is not marked. The 31st floor is the admin office. I remember it was Fu Tians second son who took over the management after Fu Tian died.
Could he be the traitor? But he already owns everything. Why would he choose to betray his father?
