Yechen pushed the girl and walked through the forest for more than an hour, during which he also waded through a small stream, cutting off the traces of smell along the way—if there were hounds to follow him, there would be no way to chase them to the river.

Through the shadow of the trees, seeing that the sun was about to sink into the western mountain, Yechen stopped.

It's pretty good here, a clearing in the forest, there is a river not far away, more than ten meters wide, although I don't know how deep, but look at the ease, almost can't see the flowing river surface, it should be enough - throw it in and it will sink to the bottom, and it will not float around for people to find. If you don't feel at ease, you can add at most a stone, and it just so happens that there is a big stone here.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on?" Yechen asked. At this time, she was completely free of her previous madness, and her eyes were calm, even indifferent.

"What...... What's going on? The girl could see that she was nervous and scared, but she managed to sit up straight and confront the murderous demon.

"Maybe you want to be the hero who saves the world, but obviously, you're wrong." Yechen walked over, ignored the girl's struggles, pressed her still intact left hand on a large stone, picked up a fist-sized pebble, and smashed it the girl's left little finger.

Bang, bang! After a few blows, the girl's little finger cracked, revealing white bones and bright red flesh. Yechen did not stop, but patiently smashed it one by one, like a blacksmith, intently beating the forge.

The girl screamed and struggled desperately, but Yechen's wrist was like an iron tong, no matter how the girl's body twisted, that hand was always pressed to the stone.

It wasn't until he smashed a whole finger into flesh and bone residue that Yechen stopped, let go of the girl's wrist, and asked, "How is it, have you figured it out?" ”

After freeing herself from Yechen's grip, the girl quickly withdrew her left hand and curled up in front of her chest, crying and trembling.

Yechen squatted in front of her and said softly: "Broken like this, your little finger is absolutely useless, but fortunately, it is the little finger, which has little impact on daily life, think about it, if I abolish your thumb, you won't be able to grab knives, forks and chopsticks in the future, how can you eat then, have you been hungry?" After saying that, Yechen also chuckled, seemingly satisfied with his idea.

The girl hung her head down, her body trembling like chaff, but she didn't say a word. After repeated encounters like this, her heart was filled with fear, and she completely lost the ability to think.

After waiting for a while, Yechen didn't get any response, she sighed slightly, and reached out to grab the girl's wrist.

"Nope! No! The girl screamed in horror in the face of the outstretched demon's claw, and kept backing away, even if only a little.

"Then you have to be obedient." Yechen said.

The girl was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into tears and said, "Okay...... I...... I'm obedient, I'm obedient. ”

In the face of the brutal Yechen, the courage that the girl had summoned before was like a fortress on the beach, which was easily destroyed.

"Yes...... Such a ......," the girl sobbed, "we are indeed ...... research group."

From the girl's somewhat confused description, Yechen got a lot of useful information.

They are part of the Leif Laboratory at Stamm University, and as the name suggests, their research focuses on life sciences. The dead Professor James was a member of the research team who had worked in the lab for most of his life, and the girl and the boy were students at Stem, interning at the Lev Lab and now serving as Professor James' assistant.

Half a month ago, the girls suddenly received a notice from Professor James that they wanted to come to the Kalinzan Forest, which is the woodland where they are now, to conduct a research project. Once at the base camp at the edge of the woodland, the girl waited in her tent as if the professor was preparing. It is only today that the team drove deep into the woodland......

“…… Receive an 'anomalous person'. The girl folded her hands in her arms and curled up in a ball.

Anomaly? Yechen heard a new term, which ...... It seems to refer to oneself.

"How much do you know about so-called 'anomalous people'?" Yechen asked.

"Professor...... Give us a brief introduction. The girl said, "Anomaly...... Anomalies have high scientific research value......"

In the girl's statement, anomalous people have high scientific research value, and through the study of this special anomalous human, there will definitely be a major breakthrough in the research of genetics, biology, and pathology in the Leifu laboratory, which will even determine the fate of the laboratory.

In recent decades, the Leif laboratory has not been able to produce large-scale research results, which has put the first laboratory established by Steum University into a dilemma, with less and less funds allocated and less and less personnel and material support. Last year, a proposal was made to the board of trustees to dissolve the Leiph laboratory and transfer funds and researchers to "more important" and "more valuable" laboratories, which angered the head of the Leiph laboratory, Professor Mendel.

Thanks to Professor Mendel's efforts, the proposal was eventually rejected, but the future of the Leif laboratory remained bleak, because Professor Mendel promised the board of directors that within five years, the Leif laboratory would definitely produce scientific research results that would shock the world.

Five years sounds like a long time, but it's actually very time-sensitive. It is not uncommon for most scientific research projects to last for several years, and it is almost impossible to produce results in just five years, and it is a scientific research result that "shocks the world".

"So, you've done a lot of taboo research?" Yechen guessed.

In the field of life sciences, there are many taboo researches, such as human cloning, human experiments, genetic modification of humans using genetic engineering, etc., these studies may bring some scientific results, but they are more likely to trigger a series of uncontrollable disasters, and most importantly, the impact on the ethical order of mankind, the damage brought by this impact is simply devastating. Because of this, these studies are called "taboos". But in this world, there is no shortage of people who break taboos for various reasons, and the Leif Lab, which has fallen into a desperate situation, is obviously one of them.

The girl's face flushed slightly, as a biology graduate student, she was well aware of the dangers of those taboo studies, but she didn't want her cherished Leif lab to be disbanded.

In order to balance the inner entanglement, the girl found a reason for herself: "We are for science, for all mankind!" If there is no breakthrough of the taboo, we are still holding the sacred scriptures and praising the gods that do not exist! ”

"Whatever you want." Yechen waved her hand, not caring what kind of research was being carried out by Lef's lab, she was interested, "One thing I think is strange, why do you use an ordinary off-road vehicle to transport such important 'research materials'?" ”

The girl glanced up at Yechen, then immediately lowered her head and answered the second question first: "The professor said that the abnormal people who have just woken up will not know their identities, they will observe patiently, and even ...... Even in order to hide his identity, he will answer questions according to other people's questions......"

"Like I did before?" A smile appeared at the corner of Ye Chen's mouth, not knowing whether he felt ridiculous or angry.

Before, in the car, the girl chatted with her about the non-existent "class reunion", and Yechen, who had just entered the mission world, did answer a few words along this topic.

The girl shrank for a moment, but under Yechen's cold gaze, she continued: "Because of this, the professor believes that a specially modified car may cause the alarm of abnormal people, so he chose an ordinary off-road vehicle. ”

Yechen paced back and forth, the trialist had just entered the mission world, and it was normal for him to have this mentality of concealing his identity and blending into the mission scene. But it was terrible that Professor James knew about it and took advantage of it. Could it be—Lev Labs knows their roots, that they're from the other world?

"What's the matter with that boy?" Yechen asked quickly. According to her previous temptation, the boy didn't know what special abilities Yechen had, but this was different from what the girl said.

"What?" The girl didn't understand.

Yechen leaned forward slightly and asked, "I mean, how much does that boy know about anomalous people?" ”

"He ......" the girl's eyes were a little lonely, containing a trace of guilt, "He didn't know anything, he only entered the Leif laboratory this year, and he became the professor's assistant two months ago, he didn't know anything about anomalous people......" After a pause, the girl smiled wryly and continued: "Actually, I don't know either, the professor just said that anomalous people have special abilities, but I didn't expect ......"

Yechen breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and the uneasiness in his heart calmed down a little. The situation was not as serious as she imagined, and even Professor James, who theoretically had the most information, only had a pistol for self-defense. It seems that the Leif Lab does not know much about anomalous people, that is, their practitioners of the seventh dimension, especially their destructive power and lethality.

But...... Yechen recalled that as soon as he did it, Professor James shot without hesitation, and didn't seem to care about the life or death of the "research materials" he had worked so hard to get. Maybe for him, the brain death of anomalous people doesn't affect the value of their research - it's not that the Lev lab has mastered the ability to resurrect, right?
