BFET Chapter 29

You Guess

You Guess

The old man speaking was about seventy years old, his temples were gray, and although his face was covered with traces of time, his eyes were bright and deep.

Xie Yi looked at him: “Professor Hu.”

This old man was none other than Hu Xianwei, the head of the Kui City Research Institute.

Also the planner of the Tianmu Gigawhale.

“No need to be so reserved.” Hu Xianwei smiled at him, then gestured to the side, “Come sit down, I really didn’t expect to meet you here.”

“I didn’t expect it either.” Xie Yi hesitated for a moment, then walked over, “How is Shen Shu?”

“Not good.” The smile on Hu Xianwei’s face faded, “Since returning, he has been in a state of mutation, with no signs of recovery. Although he is still conscious, according to the test results, he has reached the point of severe pollution.”

Xie Yi seemed not to have expected it to be so serious, and was stunned for a moment.

At this moment, a very light and muffled sound suddenly came from the side, fleeting.

The two who were talking looked over one after another, and saw Shen Shu standing behind the wide glass next to them at some point, looking at them from inside without blinking.

To be precise, he was looking at Xie Yi.

His pupils were still the same light color that Xie Yi had seen before, his jawline was almost transparent, and the mottled golden patterns floating on his face had spread out at this moment, as if gradually absorbing blood, gradually turning crimson and occupying the left half of his face.

At first glance, it looked like a beautiful red spider lily.

Xie Yi met his gaze and inexplicably felt a sense of danger, as if he was being stared at by something.

“He woke up so quickly today?” Hu Xianwei was a little surprised. He immediately turned his head to look at the holographic screen next to him, and after a while, sighed softly.

Xie Yi noticed the screen full of red warnings, “Professor Hu, is the situation very bad?”

“It can’t be said to be bad either.” Hu Xianwei turned off the holographic screen and looked at Shen Shu, “Maintaining the status quo, at least not deteriorating, is a good start.”

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Xie Yi, “You should have something to talk about, right?”

“It just so happens that today’s treatment is almost done, and Xiao Shu is awake too, so I’ll go first, lest I make you two young people uncomfortable.” Without waiting for Xie Yi to reply, he stood up and instructed again, “When you want to leave, find Jiang Li and ask her to pick you up.”

Xie Yi stood up and responded, then watched Hu Xianwei walk to the glass, turn on the intercom and say a few words to Shen Shu, before turning around and leaving the containment room.

After Hu Xianwei left, the containment room seemed to fall into a brief silence.

Xie Yi stood in the middle of a pile of instruments, looking at Shen Shu through the glass from afar.

Before long, a short hiss suddenly sounded in the quiet containment room.

Then, Xie Yi heard Shen Shu’s voice, “Captain, did you come here just to stare at me through a piece of glass?”

His voice was not as gentle as usual, but became somewhat low and cold, with some hoarseness due to just waking up.

Xie Yi walked out from behind the table and approached the glass, “Of course not.”

Xie Yi was over 1.8 meters tall, standing face to face with Shen Shu across the glass, but it was still clear that there was a height difference of two or three centimeters between the two.

He raised his head slightly, his eyes imperceptibly scanning Shen Shu’s face, and met those light-colored eyes, “What’s going on with your mutation? Fei Yuelan told me that with her experience of taking you into the Enclosed Zone, even a high-risk Enclosed Zone wouldn’t affect you.”

“And…” Xie Yi stared at him without blinking, “What was the sound you heard in Jiangbei?”

Shen Shu didn’t reply immediately. He quietly looked into Xie Yi’s eyes, as if he was examining himself in the other’s dark pupils. After a moment, he said something that didn’t answer the question: “I don’t like talking to people with something between us.”

Xie Yi frowned, as if he clearly saw a sentence on Shen Shu’s expression – if you want to know, come in.

According to the research institute’s containment regulations, except for relevant personnel, anyone else is strictly prohibited from entering the sealed compartment of the special containment room.

He subconsciously glanced at a tightly closed metal hatch door next to him.

“Why are you hesitating?” Shen Shu said again.

“You should know your current state, at the point of severe pollution.” Xie Yi withdrew his gaze and looked at Shen Shu with scrutiny in his eyes, “Shen Shu, what do you want to do by letting me in?”

“What’s wrong, Captain, are you scared?” Shen Shu’s eyebrows moved slightly, trying to appear innocent, but the twitching of the crimson on his left face made it seem as if the red spider lily was swaying when he blinked, “Your ability, this little bit of pollution is nothing, right?”

Xie Yi clicked his tongue, his eyes turned cold as he turned and walked towards the tightly closed metal hatch door.

Inside the glass, Shen Shu followed him.

Xie Yi glanced at him, saying nothing.

Stopping in front of the metal hatch door, Xie Yi scanned the pollution concentration jumping on the LCD screen on the door, then reached out and pressed the door opening button.

All the verifications for the special containment room are outside, and the sealed compartment inside does not require special verification.

The sealed compartment of the containment room is a large treatment chamber. The moment the metal hatch door opened, a cloud of mist rushed out from the door seam with a chill.

When Xie Yi pulled the door open, he immediately entered a state of alert.

The lights in the sealed compartment were not on, and the light reflected from the glass window on the other side was limited to a small area. At this time, Xie Yi could only use the light falling in from outside the door to see the looming outlines in the compartment.

“Shen Shu?” Xie Yi looked vigilantly into the compartment and slowly walked in.

Suddenly, a soft laugh came from the left, “Captain, why did you call me?”

When Xie Yi turned his head to look in the direction of the sound, a strong gust of wind came at him.

Prepared, Xie Yi ducked into the compartment, and Shen Shu closed the half-open hatch door smoothly.

The light outside the door was blocked, and the area behind the hatch door suddenly fell into darkness.

Xie Yi’s eyes went dark. In a moment of carelessness, Shen Shu grabbed his hand. The next second, he was turned around and fell into a familiar embrace.

Xie Yi immediately scolded coldly: “Shen Shu, what are you do…”

Before he could finish speaking, he felt a cold object pressed against his neck. Immediately after, a weak stinging sensation was followed by a stream of cold liquid injected into his blood vessels.

Xie Yi’s pupils dilated instantly, and he began to struggle violently.

At the same time, as if he had achieved his goal, Shen Shu, who had been imprisoning him, released him and backed away.

Regaining his freedom, Xie Yi immediately turned around, his face ashen as he looked in a certain direction behind him. His voice seemed to be frozen, and he said word by word: “What did you inject me with?!”

The lights in the sealed compartment were turned on at this moment.

Shen Shu leaned against the wall behind, crossed his arms, and spun an empty syringe in his other hand. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said in a bad tone, “You guess?”
