You Are Deep in The Stars

At three o’clock in the afternoon, the two arrived at the garbage disposal station on time. There was still an unbearable smell and a deathly depressing silence.

Wu Zigang put his hands in his jeans pockets and seemed to be in a good mood: “I received a call from Mrs. Daisy, I have to thank her for everything she has done for Xiaojuan.”

“Only thanks?” Han Zhuo asked, “I thought there would be other emotions.”

“Indeed, there are regrets, unwillingness, and deep regret.” Wu Zigang pressed the password and quietly opened the door to the laboratory, “But it doesn’t matter. I never miss things that are destined to be lost.”

Coming to the rumored “Superpower Laboratory” for the first time, Bai Xi felt a little nervous when thinking about all the terrifying rumors he had heard before. Fortunately, Han Zhuo discovered this in time, and he reached out his hand gently. “Hold my hand.”

Wu Zigang stopped and looked at the two people with some surprise.

Bai Xi didn’t hesitate and naturally clasped his fingers. The familiar warmth came from his palms, providing a sense of security that only the two of them knew.

Wu Zigang quickly realized his gaffe. He adjusted his mood and continued, “We’ll be there soon.”

“Are there people with superpowers inside?” Bai Xi asked, “I mean the willing experimental subjects.”

“They are not here, but in City G.” Wu Zigang smiled, “This place is only used to store data and conduct other small experiments.”

The last door was opened, and the world in front of him suddenly became brighter.

If he had not been informed in advance, Bai Xi would definitely not regard this place as a laboratory, but more like a huge cold storage, with white freezers, white decoration, white test benches, and busy people wearing white clothes.

“Don’t worry, there won’t be any bloody smell here.” Wu Zigang made tea for the two of them with his own hands, “Would you like some sugar?”

“No, thank you.” Bai Xi said, “We are here for business.”

“Of course.” Wu Zigang motioned for him to continue.

“About your former subordinate, Qian Ning.” Bai Xi asked, “Do you have any resume about him?”

“Yes.” Wu Zigang quickly called it up from the computer and projected it on the big screen, “You can watch it as you like.”

Thirty-three years old, from a small town in the far north. He had excellent grades since childhood. After graduating from medical university, he first worked in a public hospital for two years, then resigned and opened his own clinic. In the same year, he joined Wu Zigang’s third laboratory.

For a person with superpowers, this was a pretty normal resume.

“He calls himself Frankenstein, and he is indeed a Frankenstein. In order to obtain the most accurate results, he could even stay in the laboratory for half a year.” Wu Zigang said, “Putting aside other things, Qian Ning has indeed contributed a lot of precious experimental data, so I still feel deeply saddened by his betrayal and departure.”

“He joined the Third Laboratory just to study other superpowers?” Han Zhuo asked.

Wu Zigang frowned slightly: “I don’t quite understand what you mean.”

“I mean, in addition to studying the experimental subjects, is it possible that he is also studying himself?” Han Zhuo continued to add.

“Absolutely not.” Wu Zigang categorically rejected, “This kind of behavior is expressly prohibited in the Third Laboratory. Researchers are researchers, and experimental subjects are experimental subjects. The identities of the two will never be confused.”

“What’s the reason?” Bai Xi asked.

“The reason is very simple.” Wu Zigang replied, “No one can predict the consequences of the experiment in advance. If a researcher injects drugs into his own body, he will become unstable and may move crazily at any time. It’s a time bomb, and all the experiments he conducts and all the data he provides will become useless waste paper because I have no way of knowing what kind of mental state he was in when he was conducting research.”

This explanation did sound reasonable. Bai Xi glanced at Han Zhuo and wanted to know what he meant.

“So, what happened?” Wu Zigang frowned, “Looking at the expressions of the two of you, it doesn’t look good.”

“Qian Ning came back to life in the underground warehouse.” Han Zhuo did not hide it, “I have seen Shi Tian’s video, and it is completely in the form of a zombie.”

“Zombie?” Upon hearing his description, Wu Zigang was obviously shocked, “Are you sure?”

“I’m sure there is no need for Shi Tian to lie about this kind of thing.” Han Zhuo said, “I originally thought it was your research.”

“Absolutely impossible!” Wu Zigang categorically denied it again and began to become anxious, but the subject of anxiety was not Qian Ning himself who was resurrected from the dead, but all the experimental data Qian Ning had provided over the years.

Bai Xi continued to look at Qian Ning’s resume. The screen showed that he had led other researchers to conduct hundreds of experiments in the first two years before joining the Third Laboratory. He had contributed a large amount of precious data, and these data were directly used by Wu Zigang as the premise and basis for other experiments.

In other words, if Qian Ning was an unstable experimental subject from the beginning, then the data he obtained would lose its reference value, which would also render most of the experiments conducted by the Third Laboratory in at least the past five years useless trash.

“Sorry, I’m in a pretty bad mood right now.” Wu Zigang stood up, “So you two probably have to leave.”

“But if Qian Ning was Shi Tian’s person from the beginning, then the experimental data he provided was also unbelievable,” Bai Xi hesitated for a moment but still said this sentence, because he couldn’t figure out why Wu Zigang would wait until now to start getting mad.

“No, I believe him,” Wu Zigang shook his head. “At least in the first three years, he did not have a relationship with the underground warehouse. As for the betrayal, it was related to the death of a girl.”

“The death of a girl?” Bai Xi was puzzled.

“That’s a quite long story. You can ask him in person, or we can talk about it in the future,” Wu Zigang hurriedly opened the door. “But now I had to go back to City G immediately to check all the experimental data in recent years.”

“Understood,” Han Zhuo nodded. “Then I wish you a good luck, Dr. Wu.”

Wu Zigang opened the car door, and Bai Xi clearly saw that his lips were trembling slightly and his face was very pale. It was indeed a sign of excessive fright.
