Chapter 63: The Cruel Laughter Touched His Own Face

  The scaly man suddenly loosened his grip on Shen's neck and threw the mineral water bottle in his hand to the ground, turned around and walked out. Shen was half squatting on the ground coughing, I pursed my lips and watched as the scaly man pulled open the iron door.

  "Morning study 'Lu', if you leave now, I'll die right in front of you!" I shouted at him.

  The scaly man's body began to shake, I stared at his back, took out the gun, cocked it, and pressed it against my own temple.

  After a severe cough for half a day, he got up with the help of instruments and his face was very pale.

  His neck had two terrifying blood marks that made people's hair stand on end. Just now, Morning Dew 'Lu' almost didn't use any force, but Shen Hua nearly lost his life.

  I trembled as I looked at Chen Yan's 'Luo', he slowly turned his body, two bright red small eyes, constantly jumping.

  "Xiao Mi." A familiar voice entered my ears.

  I wept uncontrollably.

  Chen Yan 'Lu' closed the iron gate and then walked slowly to my front, the pistol was heavily handed over, and then unloaded the bullets.

  My throat was blocked like a stone, and I couldn't say a word for half a day when I saw the current state of Chen Yan's "Lu".

  Chen Yan's face was covered with a faint smile as he touched his own face, then said in a low voice: "How did you know it was me?"

  I shook my head and he finally spoke up, but his voice was obviously a bit strange, probably because he had hurt his vocal cords earlier.

  "Where is Liu Ke?" Shen Zhong stared at Chen Yan's eyes that revealed a hint of 'doubt'.

  Chen Yan's leg suddenly kicked out and struck Shen Zhong. My expression changed, and I immediately blocked Chen Yan in front of Shen Zhong.

  Morning exercise, "Lu" stops in front of my lower abdomen, one centimeter away.

  "Xiao Mi, you all leave here." Chen Yan 'Lu' suddenly said.

  I wiped away the tears on my face and trembled with voice: "Were you changed like this by him?"

  Chen Yan 'Lu' closed her eyes, took a deep breath and said: "That's right."

  I looked at Shen heavily with a pleading expression and trembled: "Can Pei Lao turn him back?"

  Chen Yan's 'Lu' suddenly jumped up with his little red eyes, and I felt the tremble on his body.

  After returning to the research institute, Shen Zhong sat silently on the sofa, I knew what he was thinking in his heart. Chen Yan 'Lu' obviously knew where Liu Ke had gone, but he didn't say anything, and I could feel that he seemed to have some other emotions towards Shen Zhong. Just now, if it wasn't for me stopping him, Shen Zhong might have been kicked to death.

  After Chen Yan's "Lu" became like this, it seemed that there was no strong resistance, but only hiding from me and not daring to see me.

  While Pei Lao saw Chen Yan's "exposure" in the morning, he was like a vulture seeing rotten meat. Without saying another word, he pulled Chen Yan into the second floor. I worried that if he got too carried away, Chen Yan would directly twist his head off.

  But what I should be more worried about now is what Liu Ke did to Chen Yan's 'Luo', and whether he can recover.

  Just at this moment of waiting, footsteps suddenly sounded from the second floor.

  Old Pei walked out quickly, his old face seemingly dancing with excitement.

  I anxiously asked Chen Yan if 'Lu' could be restored.

  He glared at me and said, "This is a perfect masterpiece, why should it be restored?"

  My face turned pale in an instant, and I stared at Pei Lao with trembling lips. I slumped onto the sofa.

  Pai Lao suddenly said: "He's done nothing, I want to study him for a while, don't know if he can be fully restored. He wants me to tell you that Liu Ke has left."

  When he said that, Pei Lao's emotions were clearly a bit down, but then he recovered and exclaimed: "The clone is gone, but it brought us a mutant, which is also of great research value!"

  Old Pei finished speaking and turned his head to walk upstairs, I sat on the sofa in a daze.

  He remained silent and heavy-hearted.

  Time quickly arrived at night, Pei Lao still hadn't come out, and Shen Zhong remained motionless.

  I started feeling drowsy and then fell asleep without knowing when.

  The next day when I woke up, Shen Chong had left.

  Grandpa Pei was holding a bowl of porridge and eating with steamed buns in front of me, and another bowl was placed there too.

  "He muttered indistinctly: 'Shen Zhong has left, if you're okay, you can leave too.'"

  I didn't expect it to end like this, so many people died, and two Liu Kes appeared, but they both disappeared.

  Chen Yan 'Lu' refused to say where Liu Ke had gone, and unexpectedly, Pei Lao also went along with Chen Yan 'Lu's words. Shen Zhong never came to this institute again after that.

  And I was worried about Chen Yan's 'Lu' body, and stayed for three more days. Pei Lao would stay on the second floor every day, and wouldn't let me go up either.

  Morning study 'dew' has not come out again, I even suspect that Pei Lao dissected him, but this thought only flashed and disappeared.

  Finally, I left a letter for Chen Yan 'Lu' and then also left the institute.

  I first went to the police station to look for Shen Zhong, but I couldn't find him. Instead, I found that monkey-like detective.

  I asked him about Shen's whereabouts, but he shook his head and said, "Shen has been suspended from work, so he should be at home now?"

  For some reason, when I heard him say this, I actually felt a sense of relief.

  It's okay as long as you don't give up.

  But in the end, it was me who couldn't figure it out no matter what.

  The thin monkey cop patted my shoulder and sighed, "Shen Ge is the most formidable one among us. He has no background, but he managed to establish his authority in the serious crimes unit through sheer hard work. Although our police ranks are the same, his words carry more weight than even our boss's."

  I looked at him with some confusion, unsure why he said that.

  He said, "Because he never took on a case he couldn't win."

  I fell silent, and the thin monkey detective told me that it wasn't Shen Zhong himself who wanted to go home, but rather that his superiors had given an order to suspend further investigation into the case. From what he said, I gathered that there were even higher-ranking officials above him who had issued the command. That's why Shen Zhong was suspended from duty.

  Liu Ke went where, I have no idea at all, but what I know is that he will definitely come back again.

  After returning to school, I found that everyone's gaze at me had changed, with three points of fear and three points of disgust, the rest were unavoidable.

  Even in the dormitory, I am the only one left.

  Looking at the empty dormitory, I remembered the time when Liu Ke, I, Chen Yanluo, his girlfriend Huang Weiwei and I were together.

  Now five people are gone, some dead and some missing. I didn't even have the mood to eat dinner, so I just lay down on the lower bunk bed and fell asleep.

  The next day, I dragged my tired body to class, and everyone seemed to be avoiding me like the plague.

  But in my heart, I have no feeling anymore. Even, I think the classes here are meaningless too.

  Time passed quickly and a month had gone by, I went to the institute three times, and finally saw 'Luo' of Chen Yan during my last visit.

  What I saw was Chen Yan 'Lu' lying in a fully enclosed glass instrument, wrapped in a thick layer of gauze all over her body. Her eyes were open, no longer the small, lizard-like eyes, but had returned to normal human eyes, only still red.

  Mr. Pei excitedly told me that a true work of art would be completed soon.

  I looked at his twisted face with a smile, but felt a chill in my heart. Chen Yan's "leak" stared at me and I blinked at him.

  It means I have nothing to do.

  Wei Lao also told me that I don't need to come here for the time being. After Deng Chenyan's 'Luo' is fully restored, he will come find me.

  I heard him say that Morning Dew 'Lu' can fully recover, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

  During this time, it was quiet and peaceful, no one spoke to me again. When eating in the cafeteria, no matter how crowded it was, my seat was always empty.

  I bought a new mobile phone and all the contacts were gone. At night, I always go to the old site of the original library and take a few laps around it.

  Now there is only a flat ground left, but I can still smell the bloody smell emanating from inside.

  Slowly walking towards the dormitory building, as I walked, suddenly, the phone rang, I answered the phone, but it was a busy tone.

  Sitting on the 'bed' in the dormitory, I dialed that phone number twice, but it couldn't get through no matter what.

  I irritably threw my phone onto the head of the bed, just then, suddenly came a knock at the door.

  I was surprised, it's been a long time since no one would come knocking on the door, opened the door, but outside there was no one, only the empty corridor with lonely lamp light.

  I shrugged and sighed, subconsciously lowering my head, but saw an envelope that had appeared on the ground at the "door".
