Longzang

Chapter 788 Preliminary Work
The eight screens in front of Wei Yuan were flashing faster and faster, completely unaware of the commotion around him and the change in the color of the lights.

Soon, a virus that could spread in air, liquids, and solid surfaces, and was equipped with a protective shell, was developed that could withstand strong acids and alkalis and survive for dozens of days at temperatures of 300 degrees Celsius.

As usual, Wei Yuan submitted the test application. A moment later, the screen showed that the initial test had passed, and he also received the name and code, which were still attached to the original virus.

The moment the code was displayed, the lights suddenly went out, five of the eight screens disappeared, and the main screen remained black for several seconds before it lit up again.

Then Wei Yuan heard a deafening thunder. He looked up and saw that the ceiling was filled with plasma, flowing everywhere like an inverted lake. In an instant, all Wei Yuan could see was a silvery white!
A second later, the plasma disappeared, but the ceiling of the experimental chamber was charred black, and all the equipment hanging on it had been reduced to ashes.

Even the slow-witted Wei Yuan realized something was wrong at this moment. He glanced at the research terminal that had been lit up again, gritted his teeth, rushed back, and sent all the papers that he hadn't had time to read but felt were important to his account. Then he uploaded his research findings and insights to the central server before preparing to pack his things and flee.

At that moment, Wei Yuan suddenly soared into the air!

Two soldiers, their necks thicker than their heads, lifted Wei Yuan up from either side, as if he were a chick.

Wei Yuan struggled for a moment, but couldn't move an inch. Then he was lifted and turned around, and saw an indescribable woman in front of him. Wei Yuan's feet were off the ground, and he wasn't even as tall as the woman. Although sunglasses covered half of her face, it was still clear that she was extremely beautiful.

At this moment, Wei Yuan had no mood to appreciate the beauty; only shock and fear filled him. She was beautiful and had a great figure, without any disproportion, except for her height, which was clearly over two meters.

The woman stood with her hands behind her back, as straight and upright as a statue, looking down at Wei Yuan, who looked like a chick. Then she walked to the research terminal and brought up all the operation records.

The data on the screen was flashing wildly, turning into a speck of static, but she was watching it very carefully, and then she finished reading all of Wei Yuan's content for the entire day in just three minutes.

She looked away and said, "The system alarm was triggered from here. He must also be part of the plan, although it's the part that can be sacrificed. Prepare a soundproof room with hot water. I want to interrogate him personally."

Wei Yuan was completely bewildered and had no idea what was going on. But seeing the two bright general stars on the woman's military uniform, he knew her status must be incredibly high. There were definitely no more than three people in the company who held the rank of lieutenant general.

"I didn't do anything! I was just completing the task assigned to me. The process for issuing the task was all in the office system, and all my operations were within my authorized scope. There was no violation of the rules!" Wei Yuan hurriedly explained.

But the woman ignored him completely. Two soldiers carried Wei Yuan into a suite reserved for high-ranking personnel and then hoisted him from the ceiling. The suite had a much higher ceiling than ordinary rooms, but the woman still had to stoop to enter.

She waved her hand, and all the soldiers retreated, then closed the door. The walls of the room then changed color, and many sharp, cone-like objects popped out – devices specifically designed to absorb sound waves.

Wei Yuan was shocked and hurriedly said, "I'm just an intern and I really don't know anything! Whatever you want to know, I'll tell you everything! I won't hide anything! I'll tell you now!"

The woman slowly removed her sunglasses, revealing a face that was even more beautiful than when they were hidden.

Her large, bright eyes were flawlessly beautiful, yet they seemed to hold hidden volcanoes, ready to erupt at any moment. She then removed her leather gloves, revealing long, slender, and perfectly proportioned hands, large enough to easily grasp Wei Yuan's head.

Wei Yuan grew increasingly terrified and hurriedly tried to explain, but she poked his throat with her finger, and he couldn't utter a single word.

Then she pushed Wei Yuan, the hooks on the ceiling moving along the hidden tracks, until Wei Yuan was pushed like a pig into the disproportionately large bathroom with showerheads on all four sides.

She opened a cabinet in the bathroom, which contained various tools of unknown purpose. She opened another cabinet, which held countless medicine bottles and test tubes containing various medications.

Using his prior knowledge, Wei Yuan was astonished to discover that all the equipment in this seemingly ordinary bathroom was made of sterile materials. Was this a sterile operating room?

Wei Yuan instantly felt a great disaster was about to befall him. She walked up to the struggling Wei Yuan, looked carefully at his face, and said, "Don't rush, we haven't reached the formal stage yet, it's just the preparation stage. I know you have something to say, and I know what you want to say, but maybe you'll remember some things you've forgotten in a while."

Now it's my time. Do you know what my greatest hobby is? It's personally handling and cleaning the prey, ensuring they're in perfect condition before being placed on the worktable.

Her voice was slightly hoarse, as if she was deliberately trying to lower her volume, so her breathing sounded like a devil's murmur. But beneath that calm voice was a volcano, and Wei Yuan had a feeling that once he activated that volcano, he would be immediately swallowed by the lava.

The woman then said, "Oh right, I haven't introduced myself yet. I am Ji Liuli, the current president of the company's security headquarters."

Upon hearing the name, Wei Yuan's eyes widened suddenly. It seemed as if two worlds were overlapping before his eyes, and the barrier between them was extremely fragile.

But Wei Yuan felt an intense fear rising within him, seemingly resisting the overlap of the two worlds. A voice deep within his consciousness urged him to break through this barrier.

The voices from his body and the depths of his consciousness contradicted each other, leaving Wei Yuan unsure which to listen to. He instinctively gravitated towards his body, since the thoughts in his consciousness weren't necessarily his own; they could belong to others, or even be from beyond the heavens…

Just as he was about to grab something, Wei Yuan was overwhelmed by a surge of intense fear and resistance, followed by a severe headache that left him in a daze, unable to remember anything.

At this moment, the woman took out a pair of medical gloves and was about to put them on. These gloves were much larger than a normal human hand, and were clearly prepared specifically for her.

She was only halfway through putting on the gloves when she suddenly took them off, threw them in the trash can, and came up to Wei Yuan, saying, "I think you need... a thorough cleaning."

Wei Yuan's head was throbbing so badly he couldn't hear what she was saying. His body was writhing in agony, and his muscles were even trying to tear themselves apart to stop him from remembering those things.

At that moment, a smooth, cold touch landed on his skin, instantly waking Wei Yuan up. His body seemed to have encountered its natural enemy, suffering extreme fright. He could no longer care about harming himself and instinctively trembled.

She tore Wei Yuan's clothes to shreds and threw them into the trash can. The lab uniform, made of excellent materials, was as fragile as a piece of toilet paper in her hands.

In the blink of an eye, Wei Yuan was completely naked.

In front of Wei Yuan, she turned on the specially made shower head, picked out a bottle of medicine labeled as highly poisonous and extremely dangerous, poured it in, and then turned on the switch. The water spraying from the shower head instantly turned scarlet, like blood.

She reached out to test the water temperature, then licked the blood-red liquid from her fingertip, seemingly quite satisfied with the drug's effects. She then took the spray nozzle and went to Wei Yuan, first pouring it over his head.

The blood-cold water instantly splashed onto Wei Yuan's face and body.

The water was colder than ice water at zero degrees Celsius; the sensation of it hitting his skin made Wei Yuan want to scream, but his throat could only rise and fall in vain. The blood-red icy water streamed down his face and head, and after the extreme cold, a peculiar heat rose from his skin, spreading throughout his body. Wei Yuan knew something was wrong; this was the feeling of deep frostbite!
His skin turned bright red in an instant, his veins bulged, and his heart rate quickly surpassed the limit of two hundred.

Wei Yuan tried to scream, but no sound came out. At that moment, two worlds appeared before his eyes, sometimes separating, sometimes overlapping. Wei Yuan also felt that he was hallucinating, as if another version of himself had split off from his body and was being pulled by an invisible force, trying to drag it out of his body.

However, the process of separating the two selves is extremely painful and difficult. It is as if two pieces of paper are glued together with the strongest adhesive, and now if you want to separate them, you can only tear them apart together.

At this point, she began to clean, from top to bottom, thoroughly and meticulously.
