Chapter 1079 - 1078: Liang Xue Appears Again
Chu Shiyao muttered strangely after speaking, "I rarely dream, and even if I do, I forget everything upon waking up. But this time, I remember it so clearly, it's really creepy.""Hehe, actually... there are even creepier things."
"Creepier things?"
Chu Shiyao looked at Chu Ge, subconsciously asking a question. Suddenly, her pupils shrank, her body stiffened, and she looked as if she had seen a ghost.
Because she realized that Chu Ge's mouth had not moved at all, yet she could "hear" his voice clearly, and it was definitely not ventriloquism, because this voice did not go through the process of entering her ear, but was directly transmitted into her mind.
Creepy, really too creepy!
"Don't be nervous, relax, I'll explain to you now."
Upon "hearing" Chu Ge say this, although Chu Shiyao was still unbelievably shocked, her heart racing faster, she also realized that everything in this cage was under Chu Chengrui's surveillance. She immediately suppressed the urge to ask in amazement and tried to regulate her breathing to look as natural as possible.
As the saying goes, women are natural actresses. Even for someone as mentally strong as Chu Shiyao, she is ultimately still a woman, and with the drastic changes she has encountered in the past two days, her emotions have become even more resilient.
"What you experienced last night was not a dream. What you saw and heard really happened. It was my consciousness entering your Spiritual World, directly communicating with you in terms of consciousness, just like how I'm speaking and you're listening now."
Although Chu Ge's explanation sounded so absurd, Chu Shiyao had no reason to doubt it. Wasn't the fact in front of her? Otherwise, how else could she "hear" Chu Ge's voice now?
Moreover... even the closest people turning into hideous demons in an instant had happened, so there seemed to be nothing Chu Shiyao could not accept anymore.
Using this direct consciousness communication method, Chu Ge concisely explained what he needed to tell Chu Shiyao. After saying all this, Chu Ge solemnly "said".
"In the upcoming time, I might frequently communicate with you this way. You must quickly adapt. Right now, I'm merely linking our consciousnesses, so you can 'hear' me. If I enter your Spiritual World, we can exchange ideas, just like last night. Let's practice now, try this feeling of 'multitasking'."
Chu Shiyao initially didn't quite understand the term "multitasking", but when Chu Ge's mind entered her Spiritual World, and she once again "saw" the void space representing her Spiritual World, she realized that using "multitasking" to describe her current feeling couldn't be more fitting.
One real world, one Spiritual World, and both worlds were simultaneously presented. The feeling was simply bizarre, and trying to maintain coordination of thoughts and body was indeed challenging. Without practice, she might find even the simplest thing like walking difficult in this state.
A half-hour after they got up, footsteps could be heard outside the cage. Through the glass door, Chu Ge saw two men and two women approaching.
Both men were dressed in tight black outfits, looking stern and with cold eyes. One of them was the "Number 97" Chu Ge had seen on the big screen yesterday. Judging by the attire, his companion was likely another "numbered man" like him.
The two women were in white nurse uniforms, with nurse caps and masks, revealing two pairs of equally indifferent eyes, each carrying a silver briefcase.
Seeing these four people, Chu Shiyao's expression immediately turned a bit ugly, and she subconsciously furrowed her brows slightly, casting a questioning look at Chu Ge.
Chu Ge patted Chu Shiyao's hand, "Don't worry, they probably won't do anything to us."
Chu Shiyao nodded and tightened her grip on Chu Ge's hand, "Mm..."
In the short moment of their exchange, the four people came to the front of the cage. The leading "Number 97" pressed a few times on the glass door, the door opened, and the four of them entered, staring at Chu Ge with guarded and cautious expressions.
At this moment, Chu Ge was sitting on a chair with a playful smile at the corner of his mouth, and he asked, "Is our experiment session about to start? I recall that the old mad dog said I have twenty-four hours to consider. It's not time yet, is it?"
As Chu Ge spoke, the two stern-looking men stood like two gate guardians, one on the left and one on the right, at the newly closed door, their bodies visibly tense, ready to engage in battle at any moment.
The two women carrying the briefcases, one walked towards the bed inside the cage, and the other walked towards Chu Ge.
"Click"
The first woman opened the briefcase by the bed, and inside was a set of bed linens. With an indifferent expression, she began changing the sheets, being very careful, as if afraid of dropping a single hair from the original sheets.
The other woman placed the briefcase on the table, also opening it with a "click", and inside were some very advanced-looking tools and instruments.
"Sir, I am now going to conduct some examinations on your body. Please cooperate and do not attempt to make any unnecessary resistance, as it will only cause unnecessary trouble for you."
Chu Ge originally had his attention on the two men guarding the gate, but hearing the woman's voice, he was suddenly taken aback.
This voice, it sounds quite familiar?
Without showing any signs, he raised his eyes to scrutinize the woman. She was about 1.7 meters tall, with long bangs on the left side slanting down, covering her left eye.
Although there was a mask between them, looking at the woman's hair, eyes, and figure, the woman's appearance quickly overlapped with another face in his memory.
Chu Ge was confident he couldn't be mistaken. This woman was surprisingly the granddaughter of Liang Lao Qi from the Liang Family, whom he had encountered before, Liang Xue?
Meeting Liang Xue's gaze for a second, Chu Ge remained unfazed on the surface, but internally, waves of surprise arose; fate indeed is filled with unexpected encounters.
Meeting her here, what does this signify?
Is this merely a coincidence, or does it suggest some connection between the Liang Family and Chu Chengrui?
What is Liang Xue's role in this place? Friend or foe?
While thinking this over, Liang Xue did not show any unnecessary reaction, acting as if she didn't recognize Chu Ge, her gaze indifferent as she began carrying out various data checks on Chu Ge's body.
Throughout this process, Chu Ge neither attempted to communicate subconsciously with Liang Xue, nor did he show any signs of resistance, cooperating fully.
Although restrained with handcuffs and shackles, this didn't mean he was entirely powerless, but from the moment he saw these four people coming, he didn't consider this a suitable time to cause trouble, especially now with the addition of Liang Xue, increasing the variables.
On one side, Liang Xue was conducting various physical examinations on Chu Ge, remaining silent unless necessary, while another woman, after changing the sheets, proceeded to clean and disinfect the cell.
Meanwhile, Chu Chengrui watched a monitoring screen, leisurely sipping a steaming, aromatic cup of coffee, observing Chu Ge's every move.
On the surveillance screen, both Chu Ge and Chu Shiyao along with the other four people remained at peace, and as soon as the four left, Chu Chengrui took a casual sip of coffee, gently placing the cup aside, a slight smile playing on his lips, raising his hand lightly to point at the screen.
"From now on, closely observe their every move. If there's anything suspicious, take immediate action."
"Yes, boss."
Chu Chengrui knew Chu Ge had hypnotic abilities, he himself nearly fell victim to it, so now that Chu Ge had the opportunity to interact with others, he wouldn't lower his guard.
Moreover, as a scientific zealot, he even hoped Chu Ge might attempt some antics while interacting with these four people, so that... he could pursue some research he was highly interested in.
Researching Chu Ge was certainly inevitable, but now his thoughts diverted to another direction—studying those who have been hypnotized by Chu Ge.
As for what physical or psychological effects this might have on those studied, it didn't matter at all. Although he cared about his precious experimental subjects, they were ultimately just materials. Once too damaged, they could just be discarded.
Human lives? In the face of great scientific endeavors, in projects capable of overturning humanity, against his enormous ambition, what did they amount to?
Moreover... the crucial point is, it doesn't endanger his own life.
Once Liang Xue and "Number Ninety-Seven" along with the others left, peace returned to the cell where Chu Ge was. Soon, someone dropped drinking water and breakfast through the pipe above.
Chu Ge and Chu Shiyao, having finished their breakfasts, lay on the bed in apparent despondency, as if they had lost hope, not exchanging a word for a long time.
By noon, lunch was again dropped through the pipe above the cell, and only then did Chu Ge and Chu Shiyao sluggishly leave the big bed, silently finish their meal, and lay back down, appearing even more dejected.
Though Chu Chengrui didn't always watch the monitoring screen, when he wasn't there, others naturally took over, keeping him completely informed about Chu Ge and Chu Shiyao's every move.
However, upon hearing such news, Chu Chengrui frowned slightly. When he once again observed Chu Ge and Chu Shiyao's state, his frown deepened.
What on earth are these two up to?
