Chapter 277 - 277 35 Intertwined Dreams 6_2

277: Chapter 35: Intertwined Dreams (6)_2 277: Chapter 35: Intertwined Dreams (6)_2 Shiyu Lianyi fell silent.

“You don’t have to say it, I can guess most of it…” Gongsun Ce slammed the wall fiercely, “Alright, I’ll keep the door for now.

I’m going to check on your sister.”

Gongsun Ce kicked a researcher aside and began to run down the corridor.

He didn’t need to say much to the person in his dream, but…

at least these words made him feel a bit better.

The exit of the corridor led to a hall with a green floor.

On the left side, there was a couch, a bar, and a smoking room.

On the right side, a few lonely beds were scattered, and the floor was littered with syringes and cigarette butts.

No experimental facility would set up such a bizarre area directly connected to the rooms of high-level subjects.

This must have been a distortion brought about by dreams into reality.

Gongsun Ce searched the hall for a while but found nothing useful.

He turned into the corridor on the left and noticed a crude map stuck to the wall with colored crayons on white paper, held up with transparent tape.

It seemed out of place in the atmosphere of the Shiyu Research Institute.

“You had quite the talent for drawing when you were a kid.”

Gongsun Ce tore the map off, looking at it as he walked.

This area was much cleaner compared to the vicinity of Shiyu Lianyi’s cell.

There was no foul smell, no strange symbols, only the stubborn scent of disinfectant and blood lingering in the air.

He guessed that the horrible conditions might have been deliberately created by the researchers to cultivate Mr.

Shiyu’s Impermanence Skill.

This thought fueled his rage even more.

There were no researchers moving about in the corridor; every so often, he saw heavy doors.

The doors here were better than the door to Shiyu Lianyi’s room, with iron windows on the top, allowing one to see inside the rooms.

“It’s quite similar to the ones used on the ship, the door standards are global…” Gongsun Ce muttered, then cursed, “Damn it, they better not have drawn from the experience of Zero Island!”

He glanced at the hand-drawn map, his eyes stopping on a familiar number.

To the right in the hallway after the seventh door, marked with “17” in pink.

This didn’t make sense.

Shiyu Shiqi looked like she was just starting middle school, and 11 years ago, she should have been just an infant.

How could such a small child, barely able to speak properly, practice the Impermanence Skill!

Either the levels of depravity at the Shiyu Research Institute were beyond his imagination, or…

Gongsun Ce ran to door number 17 and used a key card to open it.

The door opened.

The narrow room was lit by electric lights.

On the left, there was a hard plank bed covered with a white bedsheet.

In the corner, a basin emitted the smell of excrement.

Directly opposite the bed stood an iron rack, and a young girl with black hair, dressed in thin clothes, stood in front of it.

She looked to be about 6 or 7 years old, slightly younger than Shiyu Ling at this time, and also didn’t match the 11 years later.

“…Is it time for today’s experiment?” Shiyu Shiqi asked softly.

“No experiments.” Gongsun Ce clenched his fists, “Have you drunk the purple water?”

“Mm.” Shiyu Shiqi nodded her head.

The Superpower User cursed under his breath and said no more, turning his head to continue running.

At this point, one of his guesses had turned into conviction.

Malice and hostility flowed like sludge in his heart, leaving behind traces of murderous intent named as kill intention.

It had been a long time since Gongsun Ce had felt the urge to kill someone.

The last time was three years ago when he held the black sword…

He gritted his teeth, telling himself to control his emotions, and to wait until the truth was fully uncovered before drawing conclusions.

Finally, the hallway reached its end, and the last door stood alone.

Gongsun Ce pushed the door open and entered.

In the moment he opened the door, he once again lost the ability to control his body, could only watch helplessly as everything unfolded before his eyes.

What he saw was a scene unlike any in his dream.

Behind the door was an unexpectedly spacious area, paper documents were stacked on desks, computer screens displayed data and patterns he couldn’t understand, and about a dozen researchers in white coats held instruments and reports, some talking softly, others quickly walking about.

“Cleaning device parameters set.”

“Director, the latest analysis report on failed sample 0-05 is out.”

“Injection of drug No.

3 starting, this time the dosage is adjusted to 90%…”

On the opposite side of the door was an entire glass wall, behind which a young girl in white clothes was bound to a bed, a helmet connected by dozens of cables on her head, and several IV lines in her arms.

It was the young Shiyu Ling.

But her expression was completely different from herself a day later, her eyes held rage and hatred, clearly not belonging to the innocent young princess in the house.

“Keep going, Shiyu Genmi.” The girl’s voice came from behind the glass wall, “Continue with your experiments.

When I have obtained power, I will definitely kill all of you myself!!”

Standing in front of the glass wall were Shiyu Genmi in a white coat and another young man in a white robe.

Shiyu Genmi cheerfully whistled, “Oh!

Not bad, children need to have spirit.

Seeing you so lively, daddy can rest assured~”

“You damned scum!”

Shiyu Ling on the other side of the glass wall was still cursing.

Shiyu Genmi touched his ears and took a report from his subordinate, “So, the problem lies in the Silent Phase Skill?”

The man in the white robe beside him continued, “Lord Shiyu, the collapse rate of the artificial dual-phase test subjects is extremely high, and the rejection by the Silent Phase Skill is too strong.

Lord Shanqi believes that replacing the Silent Phase with the Spiritual Image is a wise adjustment now.”

“Finally admitting that I was right, hm?

Stubborn old fool.” Shiyu Genmi tossed the document aside, “If memory manipulation could be more flexible, the progress of the new experiments would also accelerate.

What did Zuiyan say?”

“Zuiyan told me to convey that he is powerless; he is not proficient in this area.”

“Not proficient, and yet a Peak of Manifestation Spiritual Image Mage uses such a poor excuse!” Shiyu Genmi spun around half-circle on his chair, “If he won’t cooperate, so be it!

We can proceed slowly with the current pace, but let’s focus on the Spiritual Image Skill.”

The man in the white robe turned slightly, displaying the shuriken and fan emblem embroidered on the back of his robe.

“Lord Shiyu, her talent in Brahma’s appearance is even better.”

“Idiot, that’s exactly why we need to focus on cultivating the Spiritual Image Skill~” Shiyu Genmi waved his hand, “However, her emotional fluctuations have increased lately.”

The robed man spoke softly, “For safety’s sake, should we adjust it again?”

“Hmm…

I’ll come personally tomorrow afternoon.

That’s it for today, start the cleansing.”

“Yes!” “Understood!” “Thank you for the hard work, chief!” The researchers in white responded, each operating complex machinery.

Several new drugs were injected, and the helmet on the girl’s head emitted sizzling sounds of electricity.

The curses turned into piercing screams, and tears and mucus flowed uncontrollably, streaming down her pained face.

Gongsun Ce could no longer bear it.

Fury made his mind burn like fire, a strong urge to kill overflowing from inside, transforming into a black and red flame that wrapped around his fists.

At that moment, he surprisingly broke free from the bind of dream power and, roaring, charged at Shiyu Genmi.

“—I’ll slaughter you!”

As he swung his fist, a crimson-black light shattered the world before him, abruptly ending the incomplete dream.

The familiar sensation of dizziness did not arrive, and his vision turned pitch black…

Seconds later, in that darkness, Gongsun Ce saw a new scene.

The sight was blurry, the field of vision narrow, and even the sounds were unclear.

From the darkness emerged the youthful face of Shiyu Lianyi, as if he was looking towards the far end of the image.

Soon after, Shiyu Ling’s voice arose.

“Something feels wrong, what have they done to me…

It’s not the experiment…

not the usual ones…”

“I…

my mind feels so jumbled…

Time is passing so quickly…

What day is it today?

Tell me, Lianyi!”

In the image, Shiyu Lianyi whispered softly, “…

I don’t know.

Stop asking, sister.”

“Please, Lianyi.

Help me…” The girl’s voice sounded extremely helpless, “I’m very scared…”

“…”

Shiyu Lianyi remained silent, no longer looking towards the direction of the image.

The image froze at that moment, then shattered, returning to darkness.

“So it is.”

The black and red light beside Gongsun Ce faded.

This light seemed similar to the power of the Final Sword.

If, indeed, this power had temporarily shattered Shiyu Ling’s dream, then what he had just seen was…

“Shiyu Ling’s memory…”

The familiar sensation of dizziness began to invade his mind as the dream was about to shift.

With mixed feelings, he closed his eyes, entering the final dream.
