: Both Ends of the Balance 31

Ye Chan and You Wang’s Liang Zi were thus formed.

“Aren’t you going to ask me what my last name is?” You Wang said deliberately.

“No need, I saw the name tag on your bedside table.” Yechan held a grudge, and didn’t talk to Youwang for several days.

But he paid close attention to You Wang, not only because they had Liang Zi, but also because of what You Wang said.

Why don’t you ask and don’t delve into it? Where did the missing child go? Aren’t they adopted?

Youwang seemed to know something, but no matter how Yechan made indirect remarks, he always avoided talking about it, and he was quite skilled in changing the subject.

After all, Yechan was young, so she forgot about it after a long time. The life in the orphanage is still very busy. They have to study and do their homework every day, and the director will force them to do some exercise, saying that they need to Let them have a good physique.

This kind of life lasted for a while, and then the next physical examination day came. This time the physical examination and the psychological evaluation were together. The children in the orphanage lined up in the corridor in front of the infirmary according to the usual practice, and then went to the psychological room to report and prepare the forms. .

They went in one by one and came out one by one.

You Wang accepts the whole bodyWhen the examination and psychological evaluation came out, the complexion was obviously wrong.

Ye Chan also entered the infirmary before she had time to understand his expression.

When a series of inspections were completed, the white coat that inspected Ye Chan looked at his various data, and clicked on the electronic recording board in his hand.

Yechan turned around and stretched his neck before leaving, wanting to know whether his test result this time was a check mark or a cross mark. In the past, his test results were all check marks, but this time… it was a cross mark!

Yechan’s heart skipped a beat, and the hairs on her back almost stood up.

He judged with his shallow knowledge and intuition——this is not a good thing!

What’s wrong with it, he himself can’t tell.

After the children were evaluated one by one, the white coat showed the electronic record book to the dean. The dean’s index finger slid on the electronic screen, then she turned her head and said something to the white coat, then nodded again, and the white coat also smiled. nodded.

Yechan watched this scene from a distance, and felt goose bumps on her body for no reason.

“It seems that we are going to be unlucky.” You Wang said behind him.

“What will happen to those marked with a cross?” Ye Chan asked in a low voice.

“I don’t know, but it must not be a good thing.” You Wang said.

Yechan said, “How do you know it’s not a good thing?”

“Because I can do things that others cannot.” You Wang said in a low voice, “Those children were not adopted away…they went to a very bad place.”

“We’re all going to be unlucky, why are you keeping it a secret?” Yechan folded his arms and looked at him, “Tell me, can we solve it?”

“Well… I can possess other people like a ghost… This is my secret, and no one has told it.” You Wang sighed, “I wanted to know where those children went, so I possessed a People… As a result, that person was not picked up by his adoptive parents, but he got into a black transport vehicle… just like the transport vehicle for prisoners in cartoons…”

“What a miraculous ability.” Yechan’s focus shifted for a moment, and then quickly regained focus, “After getting on the transport vehicle, there is no next step?”

“The person I was possessed passed out.” You Wang said, “I was in the orphanage after waking up… After that, I had a high fever for three days, and my nose kept bleeding.”

Yechan had an impression of this: “Ah, I remember…you were lying in the infirmary for several days. Why did you have a fever?”

You Wang said uncertainly, “Maybe… a sequela? The price of using superpowers?”

Yechan shuddered, “Can we…can escape?”

“Where can we run away from home? Do you have money? Do you have a separate account? What can we do when we escape?” You Wang said, “Without an electronic account, we can’t even ride the tram or buy food. .”

Yechan drooped her shoulders in frustration.

The headmaster didn’t give Yechan and Youwang a chance to plan to escape. She told all the children that afternoon that Yechan and Youwang were about to be adopted and would not return to the orphanage.

In the evening, the orphanage has extra meals. This is a common practice. Whenever a child is “adopted”, there will be two extra meat dishes in the evening.

Ye Chanshi casually picked up two mouthfuls of rice without taste.

In the evening, the dean called Ye Chan and You Wang out alone, and smiled at them: “Someone has come to pick you up, but you need to undergo a more comprehensive physical examination before going to your new home. The equipment in our hospital is not good, so you need to go to a regular hospital.” …”

She firmly grabbed the wrists of the two of them, and walked quickly, almost dragging them out of the orphanage. There was a black transport vehicle parked on the road in front of the orphanage. The transport vehicle blended into the night, and the two A man in a white biochemical suit stood by the transport vehicle.

Youwang stopped in his tracks, fear spread, he subconsciously began to struggle, and the dean almost couldn’t control him.

But people in biochemical suits came over, holding a pitch-black stick in their hands. As soon as the stick touched Youwang’s body, he trembled and fell straight down.

Ye Chan was petrified, backed away in horror but couldn’t break free from the dean’s hand, he shouted in fear: “Don’t come here!”

A small dark blue vortex suddenly flashed and disappeared in the air. The two people in biochemical suits looked at each other in surprise. One of them stabbed Ye Chan with an electric shock rod without hesitation, and he immediately fell down straight. down.

Before he fainted, he heard a vague conversation: “What’s the matter with these two children? They seem to know something, otherwise it wouldn’t be the reaction.”

“He’s awakened. Awakening at this age is too early. It will have a great impact on their physical development, and they are prone to premature aging…”

“Anyway, he’s not a scrap product now… Let’s report it and see what happens to him.”

When Yechan woke up again, there was a vast expanse of whiteness in front of her eyes.

He jumped up from the ground, and found himself locked in a silver-white room, the walls were tightly sealed, and there was not even a door.

He groped along the wall several times in a panic, and shouted, “Is anyone there?”

With a click, the wall that was originally tightly stitched suddenly cracked a gap, Ye Chan backed away in shock, and fell to the ground with her buttocks.

In front of her was a gray-haired old lady, wearing a white coat and gold-rimmed glasses. Older people always gave people a kind and friendly look, but the old man’s brown eyes were cold and hard.

She is clearly in her twilight years, but her eyes are more sober and ambitious than those of young people.

Her name is on her breastplate——Chen Zhiqiu.

“You, who are you?” Ye Chan stammered.

“Your researcher.” The old lady said, “In the future you need toIf you want to call me Dr. Chen, you need to live here forever and cooperate with my experiments and work. ”

Yechan felt absurd, and he was still a little confused, “Why? Why am I here? Where is Youwang? The experiment… what is it?”

The old lady smiled, but this smile did not soften the lines of her face.

“You need to abide by many rules while staying here. The first rule is to obey and don’t ask questions.” Dr. Chen said, “Okay, come with me, I need to conduct a preliminary test of your ability.”

Yechan learned to obey when he was in the orphanage. He vaguely understood that disobedience would suffer, so he followed Dr. Chen out of the silver-white room with fear and doubt.

They passed the long corridor, which was also silver-white.

When passing through a section of the corridor, Yechan suddenly heard a terrible scream. The scream was very vague, as if it came from a long distance… His body paused, and a look of fear appeared on his face.

The screams came one after another, as if not one person was screaming, but many people screaming together, including men, women, old and young. The deepest fear in a person’s heart made his hair stand on end.

“Will I die?” Ye Chan’s face turned pale.

The heavy word “death” came to his mind for the first time when he was only ten years old.

“No.” Dr. Chen’s gold-rimmed glasses reflected light slightly, and she said with a smile, “You won’t be obedient enough, and you won’t if you are valuable enough. Now you are obedient enough, no crying, no yelling, That’s good…let’s confirm your worth next time.”

It’s both lucky and unlucky—Night Cicada has enough value.

His extraordinary ability is an extremely rare space type. Dr. Chen looks at him as if he is looking at rare treasures.

“What is certain now is that you are worthy enough.” Dr. Chen said meaningfully, “Until you lose your value, you will always be alive, child.”

“Where’s You Wang?” Ye Chan couldn’t help asking this question.

Dr. Chen said, “Who is You Wang?”

Yechan’s scalp exploded when he heard her rhetorical question. After the ability test just now, he vaguely understood what extraordinary ability is. People with extraordinary ability are considered valuable and have the qualifications to live. But Dr. Chen didn’t know that You Wang also had extraordinary abilities! Without value, You Wang will die!

“He is also capable, he told me!” Ye Chan stared at Dr. Chen closely, “He can live too! If he has the ability, he can live, right?”

Dr. Chen raised his eyebrows, “Oh?”

She took off the communication microphone on the wall, dialed a number, and said to the person opposite: “The child named You Wang has been disposed of? No?… That’s good, bring him here.”

After finishing the communication, Dr. Chen looked down at Ye Chan, with an inexplicable expression on his face, “Okay, as you wish, he can survive.”

Yechan breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s a pity that he was happy too early.

In his memory, during the past few years in the experimental base, his life can be described as dark.

He is injected with a lot of unknown drugs every day. He has a retention needle in his arm. With the retention needle, he doesn’t have to prick several holes in his arm repeatedly.

Due to the premature awakening of his ability, he often receives ability training, his physical fitness often cannot keep up, and his cell activity is also much lower than that of a normal awakened person. Ability and physical fitness are almost polarized development. Ability plays a role in various drugs and training. While ascending rapidly, his body became weaker and weaker, so weak that he would gasp for breath after walking a few steps.

But because he is a valuable experimental material, Dr. Chen used the best drugs on him, and also researched several new drugs for him to increase his cell activity. For drugs that are in the research and development stage, Dr. Chen always conducts enough experiments on other experimental subjects to confirm that they are safe and have low side effects before giving them to him.

All this is to make him live longer.

The experiment is painful. Some medicines have minor side effects, but they will bring great pain to people. Some medicines will cause people to continue high fever, some medicines will cause severe pain all over the body and muscle spasms, and some medicines will cause severe pain. Phantom effect…

Electric shock is one of the methods to stimulate cell activity, and Ye Chan also receives electric shock therapy every few days.

It’s not that Yechan never thought of using the space vortex to escape, but he has at least five or six insurance methods on him.

There are mechanical devices installed in the spine, devices in the brain, and also in the heart. Special high-tech shackles and handcuffs are worn on the wrists and ankles, and electronic neck rings are worn around the neck.

Once he behaves abnormally, his life will be gone immediately.

Ye Chan usually does not see You Wang, and Dr. Chen will not disclose You Wang’s situation.

Occasionally, Ye Chan would feel regretful.

“If Dr. Chen hadn’t revealed his ability to roam around, he might have been freed.”

In the third year since he came to the experimental base, Dr. Chen intentionally or unintentionally said to Yechan: “The experimental subject named You Wang has moved.”

“Why transfer?” Yechan asked.

“He’s dying.” Dr. Chen said, “You two awakened at similar ages and have similar physical conditions. Every time you use the medicine on your body, you will test it on him first. He can’t hold it anymore.”

Yechan was silent and did not speak.

This base made him fear and hate him. He had the fire of revenge in his heart, but he didn’t dare to show the slightest clue.

The researchers here are extremely cruel. They treat the experimental subjects like pigs in a sty.

Night Cicada can only endure silentlyby.

Another two years passed like this, when Ye Chan was desperate and her heart was numb, a turning point came suddenly.

Dr. Chen is already in his twilight years. She is not young, and she is still obsessed with research every day. An old man like her should have retired long ago, but she didn’t.

On an ordinary experimental day, Ye Chan lay expressionlessly on the experimental bed, her eyes watching the slowly dripping liquid medicine.

Dr. Chen stood beside him observing the data recorded by the instrument, and said calmly, “Do you want to leave the cage?”

This question was too abrupt, and her tone was too ordinary, Yechan would not be able to understand what she asked for a while.

Until she asked again: “Do you want to leave the cage?”

Yechan had a reaction. He curled his lips stiffly and said in a mocking and casual tone: “If I say yes, will you let me go?”

Dr. Chen has no ability to make him leave. She is just a researcher, not the actual controller of the experimental base.

“What if I say I can?” Dr. Chen smiled.

Ye Chan’s heart was beating violently, almost flying out of her chest.

“Why are you so kind?” He knew that there is no such thing as a free lunch, “What do you want me to do? What do you want?”

“Someone has paid for you. I have already got what I want, and I don’t need you to give me anything.” Dr. Chen looked down at him, “You just need to give me an answer.”

“You know what I will choose.” Yechan said.

“If you choose no, I will put a lethal drug into your infusion tube, and you will die, and I am confident enough that others will not find out that I am the murderer.” Dr. Chen said, “You can’t choose To be free or not to be free, you have only a choice between death and freedom.”

Ye Chan’s jaw tightened, and then he suddenly laughed: “You at least gave me the freedom to choose death. Is this ‘benevolence’?”

Dr. Chen looked at him without any fluctuation in his eyes, “Choose one.”

Ye Chan said without thinking, “I choose freedom.” He smiled again, “Can the freedom that is forcibly granted by others still be regarded as freedom? What price do I have to pay for this so-called freedom?”

“You will pay a price, but the price is much lighter than staying in the experimental base.” Dr. Chen said.

Dr. Chen added anesthetic to Yechan’s infusion tube, and he fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up again, he saw a strange ceiling, not a silver and cold ceiling, but an ordinary coffered ceiling that he had seen in the orphanage.

There were several wounds on his head and body that were aching, and the various mechanical devices in his brain and body seemed to have been removed.

“You’re awake.” A voice echoed in the room, it was a male voice.

Yechan reluctantly turned her head to look, and saw a man in his thirties sitting on the sofa and looking at him.

“I am Kui Haidong, the leader of Mechanical Dawn.” The man who called himself Kui Haidong said, “I was the one who saved you.”

“Dr. Chen belongs to you?” Ye Chan was unexpectedly calm, “What do you want me to do by getting me out?”

“Do things for us, and at the same time you will gain a great deal of freedom.” Kai Haidong’s eyes were deep and straightforward, “It is the experimental base under the Federation that conducts inhumane experiments on you, and our enemy is the Federation… You can take revenge on them. What we need is your ability.”

“Really?” Ye Chan whispered, “Dr. Chen is a cold and rational researcher, she said someone paid me for me, that’s why she got me out… What did you pay her for? What What kind of compensation can impress someone like her?”

Kai Haidong said deeply, “Eternal life.”

He paused, and added: “The human body is made up of cells and has limits. A mortal can never reach the realm of immortality. What we bestow on her is immortality at the data level.”
