"An unknown riot occurred in the laboratory. The experimental subject they created seems to have gone out of control and then... killed everyone?"

Yang Linlin leaned in closer, carefully reading the lab journal in Zhao Yi's hand.

Hmm, she seemed to have gotten quite used to this man by now.

Zhao Yi tossed the book to her and started flipping through some data on the instruments.

"Neither the riotous quantum state outside nor the bizarre creature we just encountered could have appeared out of thin air."

"They must have a 'ground state'."

He slowly restored the data on the instruments, while Yang Linlin, holding the lab journal, was lost in thought, not understanding what Zhao Yi meant by 'ground state'.

The instrument vibrated gently, restoring much of the data to its initial state.

"Can you understand it?"

Looking at the complex data, Yang Linlin felt overwhelmed!

"No, I can't."

"But it doesn't matter."

"I just need to restore this data to its original operational state and then see what the most primitive 'ground state' is..."

Zhao Yi muttered to himself, his hands constantly at work.

The instrument displayed the image of a monster, and as the data was gradually stripped away, its bizarre appearance was slowly restored...

First the head, then the private parts, then the feet...

After completely restoring the monster to its original ground state, the two of them were shocked to discover that the monster's former self... was actually a human!

And it was a woman!

"Holy crap!"

Yang Linlin was stunned!

She couldn't accept that the disgusting monster, with its reproductive organs on its legs as a head, was actually transformed from a cute girl!

"The cells of that monster are highly active and adaptable, which means this girl was very young..."

"If we dare to speculate further... then this girl might be a student from the high school..."

Zhao Yi stared at the projection on the screen, lost in thought.

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

His speculation sent chills down Yang Linlin's spine and the viewers in the live streaming room!

A massive secret experimental base built beneath the high school, with the purpose of transforming students into monsters?

Are these people criminals or madmen?

"That little girl we saw earlier had eighteen kidneys, each very young... Now it seems this lab is responsible for selling human organs."

"If their experiment succeeds, and this girl's cells can continue to cultivate new monsters, they would have an endless supply of kidneys to sell, especially on the black market..."

"That means they've created a money-making machine!"

As Zhao Yi spoke, he looked down the corridor leading further in, his gaze distant.

"This experimental base clearly has more than just this one project."

"The lab journal mentioned that the researchers inside seemed to be creating some kind of quantum state construct..."

"And they succeeded!"

"The shadow we encountered outside might be the riotous monster described in the lab journal!"

Zhao Yi had seen two weaknesses of the monster when his data was disrupted in the underground garage.

One of them was its true form.

Yang Linlin angrily said:

"These bastards, building a human experimentation base under the school, turning children into such monsters, it's utterly inhumane!"

Zhao Yi shook his head to correct her:

"NONONO."

"You're wrong."

"I need to correct you on one point, they didn't build a human experimentation base under the school."

"They built the school on top of a human experimentation base."

He pointed to the instruments, speaking to the utterly shocked Yang Linlin:

"The complexity of this underground experimental base far exceeds that of the school by tenfold. If they waited for the school to be completed before secretly building the underground base, it would be impossible!"

"Clearly, the experimental base was built first."

"And in their plan, Rockridge High School is also a part of it."

"They need young, vibrant subjects to test various experiments."

"Besides the public security bureau, what organization could more legitimately gather statistics on young people and their families than a prestigious high school?"

As Zhao Yi finished speaking, Yang Linlin felt a chill run through her body.

"Let's go, we just need some evidence to prove our speculation, and we can complete the hidden quest."

The hidden quest required them to investigate the truth behind Rockridge High School.

Since it's an investigation, evidence is needed; mere speculation is not enough to complete the quest.

Zhao Yi and Yang Linlin turned back, and along the way, Zhao Yi did something that almost made everyone vomit—he skinned the monster with eighteen kidneys.

"Do you really have to do something so perverted???"

Yang Linlin watched as Zhao Yi, as if he had found a treasure, placed the bloody skin into his item inventory, beginning to question life.

: I'm stunned! I've seen all sorts of weird hobbies, but never a skinning fetish, today is truly eye-opening!

: So disgusting! I can't take it, guys, I'm going to puke for a bit...

: This is too much to handle!

: I often feel out of place for not being twisted enough!

...

The two continued down the other end of the corridor. In this maze-like complex experimental base, without a strong sense of direction, one could easily get lost!

Passing through the corridor, they unexpectedly arrived at a massive white cafeteria.

Apart from the chairs, everything was predominantly pure white.

Amidst the glaring white, there was also a mix of scarlet.

Peeking through the door crack, they saw countless monsters wandering and feeding inside the cafeteria, and their food... was shockingly the rotting bodies of the experimental staff!

"There are... so many monsters?"

"How many students is this...?"

"Didn't they investigate when so many students went missing?!"

The scene before them was a massive shock to both of them!

In this enormous cafeteria, there were at least a thousand bizarre monsters!

This meant that at least a thousand students from Rockridge High School had gone missing!

Yet none of this had been reported.

Not even a trace could be found online!

"The person behind the construction of this lab... must have incredible means."

Zhao Yi's expression was grave.

"All signs point to the Mayor of City A."

"But a mayor alone couldn't achieve all this."

"Behind him, there must be a massive team!"

The twisted bodies of these monsters contained the memetic traces of the Evil Deity, and just that was enough to let Zhao Yi's imagination run wild.

"What do we do now? If we go any further, I'm afraid..."

Yang Linlin's voice trembled.

The thousands of terrifying creatures behind the door crack made her weak in the knees!

Zhao Yi took out the skin he had peeled from the monster from his item inventory, grabbed a scalpel, and his fingers danced like butterflies, quickly cutting the skin and crafting two eerie human skin coats!

The coats were adorned with numerous grim, bloody little heads!

Zhao Yi's coat even had a withered tube hanging from the back, making Yang Linlin's eyelids twitch.

"You're not thinking..."

"No, that's too disgusting..."

Yang Linlin, seeing Zhao Yi's mischievous look, vaguely understood his plan. She turned to run, but Zhao Yi grabbed her by the collar!

Come back here!

With Yang Linlin's face twisted in disgust, Zhao Yi directly draped the crude and foul-smelling coat over her.

Then he put on the human skin coat with the tube himself.

: I'm dying of laughter! I've already taken a screenshot, Linlin goddess's meme is going viral!

: Wearing something like this is truly anti-human!

: Is Zhao Yi trying to blend in with the monsters? This is very risky!

: It should be fine, since it seems the monsters aren't attacking each other... Big brother is indeed big brother, though it's a bit disgusting, his clever ideas are truly abundant!
