I was imprisoned, my abilities were limited by modified automaton locks, and tools I had "borrowed" from the base confiscated, the only ones that survived were the two needles hidden in my hair.

That's what I expected.

Wounded, it was obviously impossible for me to compete with a high-tech organization, not to mention, the other party was in control of his friend's life.

Although, it's a friend who has betrayed me a long time ago.

Right now, I'm sitting in this completely closed cell thinking.

The chain of evidence about March's betrayal is like a yellowed storybook, turning backwards from the last page.

The final page freezes on Ed's death two years earlier.

When I pulled the trigger, the person holding Ed as if he had foreknowledge and strangely blocked the bullet with Ed, but if someone with sensing ability told him where the bullet went, then it would be easy to explain.

Oh yes, the result of the induction is just like today, allowing the notified person to know the enemy's movements one step ahead of time and defend accordingly.

At that time, I had not yet touched the Falcon, if March had been in the service of the Nords at that time...... I can't imagine what kind of conspiracy the "Falcon" and even me have been involved in.

The pages began to scroll down in order, a clear chain of evidence linked one after another...... We escaped from the island of Cezea and came here, Shi was inexplicably aggressive towards March, the water March gave me to drink, the attention of Chelson when I first met him, March's capture, the discovery of the hollow in the tree, and finally my imprisonment, if this was not artificially designed, I am afraid that I would have really "thanked" Ai God for the bad luck he had given me.

I should have thought that March would have sensed that I was entering the institute, but he hadn't reminded me of the danger here.

I thought I would be furious when I learned of March's betrayal, but in fact, my heart was unusually calm.

Perhaps, as March said, you can't expect a human rights-free race that is dying to remember its glory and dignity. And so it is with its people.

Maybe the Nords have given March a lot of benefits, maybe March knows that our nation has no future, or maybe ...... Who knows, I only know that from today onwards, I have lost another ally, and the road to rescuing my people is getting harder and harder. But I have always believed that freedom and illumination will come in the near future.

I bandaged the wound on my leg and walked into the bathroom, the only humane device in the cell. I hadn't showered in days, and my hair was so messy that I had a pimple, so I spent a lot of time cleaning my body, and when I came out of the hot bathroom, I found someone sitting at the table, looking like they had been waiting for me for a long time.

"Is there something wrong?" I only wore a cloth towel under me, which was too revealing for me to instinctively repel uninvited, not to mention that he also brought two beautiful female nurses.

"You're in pretty good shape, you seem to be doing a good job," Ben looked around my body and smiled, "I've brought you new clothes, and I'll introduce you to these ......"

"Is there something wrong?" I interrupted him coldly, I didn't have any interest in making good human interactions here.

"You don't seem to be in a good mood." Ben pushed his glasses, "Is it because we came uninvited?" But the surveillance testified that we knocked on the door before we came, but you didn't respond. ”

I followed his finger to the camera on the wall, and my brow furrowed in displeasure: "If you are like me, being watched all the time, even going to the bathroom, I think you will be in the same bad mood as me." ”

"Hehe......" Ben smiled with his hand on his chin, "In order to protect the ** of the real body, our cameras will not monitor the toilet, but even so, unless you can turn into an ant and get out of the sewer, you can't get out of here." ”

I was stunned for a moment, Ben's words......

"Alright," Ben pointed to the medical chamber behind him, "now please enter the medical chamber, we need to do a full body examination of you." ”

"What exactly do you want to do?" I still don't understand why they want me to be real.

Ben turned on the power of the medical chamber and said, "After the injuries in your body heal, I will naturally sue you, so now, do you want to cooperate with us to treat you?" ”

I entered the medical chamber, and when the door was closed, several red parallel rays appeared in the chamber, scanning my body from head to toe, and when the light disappeared, the scan results were displayed on the display on the wall of the chamber.

The Gosai people did not have the right to such high-tech treatment equipment, and even going to the hospital was a luxury, so the lack of medical knowledge made it completely impossible for me to understand the results of the analysis.

Ben's voice sounded through the loudspeaker implanted inside Guò, and his voice sounded a little surprised: "You have multiple soft tissue abrasions on your body, although the surface is healed, but because the wounds are not treated in time, some parts are still infected. Another point, your lumbar vertebrae have been fractured not long ago, but your lumbar vertebrae are not injected with bone cement, how did your fracture heal? ”

I frowned, my lumbar spine hurt...... Could it be the wound of that blank memory period? If that's the case, then it would explain why Shi helped me lick my back and heal the injury.

"It's none of your business." I responded to him coldly. I can't let them know about Shakti's abilities, and he shouldn't be implicated.

"It seems that you have a wound healer by your side, but I have to be careful to warn you," Ben's voice was low, "the merfolk race will not help people heal their wounds unconditionally, even if they are their own people. They must have done it for some purpose, such as feasting on your flesh and skin. ”

My body shook, Ben reminded me that merfolk are a brutal cannibal race, maybe Sakura was really close to me with a purpose, but so what, Sakura is gone, and he has no connection with me anymore.

"Looks like you've made a big mistake." Ben's voice slowly faded, drifting far away like a gust of wind, "Do you think Cherson will let that mermaid go, it's naïve......"

"What...... Well! "In an instant, the needle of the syringe pierced into my skin, and an unknown clear liquid was injected into my body, my eyelids suddenly sank, my consciousness slowly drifted away, darkness enveloped me, and slowly, slowly, I fell asleep......

Sals, Sals!

"I" opened his mouth to call a familiar name, but the exit was an angry shout: "Shh! ”

"I" was lying on a stretcher, being pushed to nowhere, and "I" hated being dominated by freedom.

"I" frantically shook the blue fishtail, but the electric rope tied "me" very strongly, and when I struggled, the rope would release a high charge of electricity, and "I" was so shocked that I screamed, and there was a crackling sound of electricity on my skin.

It hurts!

Sals, Sals, where are you!

"I" excitedly shouted Sals's name in my heart, "I" missed him, "I" wanted to see him!

But "I" couldn't escape, through the aisle full of petri dishes and microscopes, "I" was pushed to a metal wall with a blue letter "D" on the wall, the staff crouched down and tapped on the ground, the ground opened a small opening, revealing the sensor below, he took the work card and swiped it on the sensor, and the wall opened a small door that only allowed two people to pass guò, and then they pushed "I" inside, and then ......

"Mr. Eddie, it's time for sleep."

Ben's voice rang in my head, and I woke up violently.

When I opened my eyes, a blinding incandescent light hit my eyeballs, and I squinted irritatedly, and it took me a while to adjust to the intensity of the light. This uncomfortable feeling is the same as in a dream.

"It looks like you've been enjoying a few days of sweet dreams, and look, your injuries are all healed."

Few days? I sat up with my support to the wall and looked at my injured right calf, which was already scarred.

"The medical chamber will inject life-sustaining glucose according to the patient's body needs during the patient's recuperation, and you have been recuperating in the medical chamber for seven days," Ben seemed to see my doubts and explained to me, "It seems that you are recovering well, and all the old wounds from the past have healed." ”

I walked out of the medical chamber, took the clothes and pants that Ben handed me, put them on, and ate the food he had prepared for me.

I behave quite naturally, as if I didn't know anything.

In fact, however, I have discovered that the Institute is using me, and even those close to me, to carry out unknown realizations. Although I don't know why I played someone else from the first perspective, I was pretty sure that the dream was real, and that the kidnapped mermaid was Shi, who was caught, and was somewhere in this institute, and I must have sworn that if I didn't save him, he would be a victim of Shiyàn.

I had to save him. Whatever his purpose for getting close to me, at least he didn't hurt me, and he saved me. But I can't make a statement, I can't ask about the news about the release, I can only wait for the right moment before acting.

"Didn't you always want to know what we were looking for you?"

Ben's words interrupted my eating, and I looked up into his eyes.

"Don't look at me like that, it looks like I'm committing a crime." Ben smiled, "What we are doing is a government-approved reality, and there is no harm to the human body. Believe me, although we invited you in with violence, we didn't hurt you. ”

I smiled coldly, and this was a ridiculous explanation: "If there is no harm to the human body, you have a reliable means of propaganda to attract volunteers to join your real life, but in fact, you have not done so. ”

"Not all of them are qualified entities," Ben pulled a cigarette out of his pocket, paused, and reached out to me, "Do you smoke?" ”

I was stunned, the Nords would not make a cordial gesture of handing cigarettes to us Gosai, was this a gesture of goodwill to me, or a demonstration?

"I don't smoke." For whatever purpose, I won't take it.

"That's a pity, smoke keeps people's minds clear, in the past, this is my spiritual food," Ben withdrew his hand, lit the cigarette, and waited for the cigarette to burn for a short period before taking a small puff, and said in the faint smoke ring, "Continue what you said just now, we have tried the right person, the result is not satisfactory, I am afraid that you are the last suitable person." ”

"Really?" I finished the last piece of beef, put down my sauce-stained knife and fork, picked up the handkerchief on my plate and wiped my lips.

Ben probably saw that I didn't mean to continue asking, so he took the initiative to say, "I know you can't believe it, and I will prove it to you with facts." In fact, our institute has been carrying out a kind of practical ...... for many years."

"Bio-modified real yàn?" I folded the handkerchief, set it aside, picked up the lemonade and shook it, watching the lemon sway around in the water.

Ben's expression was a little surprised: "Looks like you know." ”

"I don't know, it's just that the eight-clawed salamander's physical characteristics made me guess that." I stopped, tilted my head and took a sip of lemonade, it tasted very light, but the acidity was just right, and it seemed that the food here was good, and it was not enough to abuse the captives.

"Octopus salamander? Oh, that's a pretty good name, I've been struggling with what to call Hettie this species, thank you for inspiring me, Hettie will love it. Ben smiled and dusted off the ashes, "To get back to the point, we are indeed in the process of bio-transforming the real yàn, but similar to Hetty's modified body, it is only transformed for the convenience of the real yàn, and I don't think you can guess the real transformed subject." ”
