backtracking dawn

At this time of the day, there were a lot of people in the restaurant, so it took everyone a long time to finish lunch.

After the meal, I checked the time and saw that it was already past the nap time. The team members simply stopped taking a break and followed Megure directly to the little girl's holding room.

The location of this room is very remote, but Qu Xiao is not unfamiliar with it. He has been here before when he was exploring the map, but at that time it was not a storage room, but a warehouse integrating various sundries.

Unexpectedly, only a day or two passed, and the place was transformed into a brand new look. The outer layer was surrounded by an iron sheet with excellent sound insulation effect, and there was also a very spacious glass observation compartment on the inside.

After Mu Yu used the permission card to open the door, the team members filed in and entered the compartment. The space here is really spacious. Even with six people standing inside, it didn't feel crowded at all.

Further inside is the main holding room for the little girl. Its space is larger than the glass partition, and the floors and walls inside are covered with soft cushions to prevent collisions.

In the corner, there are also many children's toys, large pinballs, dolls, children's musical instruments and other items. Unfortunately, the little girl can't play with them yet because she has not been evaluated. She needs to stay on the reception bed and be quiet at this time.

Waiting for the evaluation to come.

It could be said that she was waiting, but in fact it was better to say that she was being restrained. Her body was tied up with a corset that could withstand sharp cutting, and even her hands and feet could not move at all.

At this time, the little girl was like fish on a chopping board. Although her consciousness remained awake, her ability to act was zero.

Considering that she is not yet familiar with how to use her abilities, she poses almost no danger when her behavior is completely restricted.

However, despite this, everyone in the Eye Blood Team did not take it lightly. Under the command of Eye Rain, everyone carried out preparations for the evaluation step by step.

Check the glass, arrange the instruments, debug the equipment...

Seeing everyone around him starting to get busy as ordered, Qu Xiao was a little at a loss.

Mugume did not assign any tasks to him.

"So what do I want to do?" He had no choice but to ask.

"You..." Mu Yu turned to look at Qu Xiao, "Come with me to pick someone up now."

"Promote someone?!"

Qu Xiao was very unfamiliar with this term. In all the tasks he had been exposed to before, it seemed that he had never taken this step before.

"The specific operations of the assessment are very dangerous. The company considers our safety and stipulates that we do not need to perform the relevant operations personally. The number of the fourth-level personnel granted the assessment privileges has been sent to me. We will now go to their living area and take the people

Just come here."

Mu Yu said as she took Qu Xiao's hand and walked out of the door. Since both of them had handcuffs locked on their wrists, holding hands was the most comfortable way to connect.

But Qu Xiao was not in the mood to feel Mu Yu's soft palm at this time. He was surprised and asked:

"You mean that the specific operations of the assessment are actually carried out by Level 4 personnel?"

Mugume replied: "Yes, what we have to do is to help with preparations and respond to possible emergencies and maintain order during the evaluation process."

"But I didn't even bring a gun..." Qu Xiao touched his side, because he was unprepared when he went out, and he didn't have any weapons on him.

But judging from Megure's appearance, she didn't seem to care about this very much: "Regular anesthetic bullets are useless against this type of containment, so I didn't remind you to bring the equipment, because if you do, it's just for decoration."

"Then what should we do if something happens later?"

"Just use a strong tranquilizer or helium to control it." Megure replied.

"Helium?! But doesn't helium coma cause brain damage?!"

"You can't think of the contained objects as humans like us. Although some of them have human appearances, they are still different species from us. Studies have shown that inhaling helium gas causes widespread damage to contained objects.

It’s low, and if you smoke it once in a while, it won’t have much impact on them.”

"What about those Level 4 personnel? What will they do if something goes wrong during the evaluation later?"

"Do you still care about them?" Megure couldn't help but laugh, "You know 9527, I think the most unique thing about you is that you have some very strange and inexplicable ideas. Level 4 personnel have passed through heresy.

Transformed, you don’t need to care about their lives at all.”

"But……"

"Okay, okay, put away the big principles you are going to tell me. My ears are almost ringing with noise." Muyu interrupted directly, "You will reach the place just after you turn at the intersection ahead. You first

With the sleeves pulled down, it wouldn't be good if the gatekeeper saw us like this."

Qu Xiao curled his lips slightly unhappily: "Captain, I thought you didn't care about being seen... The people who passed by us just now had strange eyes. I saw no reaction from you, so I thought you didn't care..."

"I really don't care about being seen, but I still want to avoid as much trouble as possible." Megure explained, "It doesn't matter if this thing is seen by other people, but if it is seen by the gatekeepers, they will probably take us.

Stop and ask, I want to go through this trouble, and I think you don’t want to either, right?"

"Bird food." Qu Xiao nodded, pulling down his sleeves to block the silver bracelet on his wrist.

"Please hold my hand tighter."

Muyu then ordered: "What, you don't want to?"

"no……"

Qu Xiao quickly replied, "I just think it's a little awkward..."

"What's so awkward?" Meyu rolled her eyes playfully, "I'm telling you, don't think about it. I don't want to hold your hand. I'm just afraid that we will be too far apart and others will notice.

.”

"I know……"

"Humph, that's good if you know."

While chatting, the two of them had already turned the corner, and at the end of their line of sight was the living area for level four personnel.

Different from the treatment of Level 3 personnel, the scope of activities of Level 4 personnel is greatly restricted. Without special approval, they cannot go out at will, or even leave their own rooms.

In order to ensure that this rule is enforced, a special security team is cordoned off outside the living area of ​​Level 4 personnel, and there are also patrols inside to eliminate the possibility of chaos from the source.

As soon as Mu Yu and Qu Xiao came closer, the guard guarding the door took the initiative to greet them. Just as he was about to tell them that the area ahead was closed, Mu Yu took out his permission card and blocked his mouth.

"Evaluation candidates, No. 039 and No. 157."

There was no sloppiness in what he said, and when facing people outside the team, Megure's behavior was completely different from how he behaved inside.

After the man took the permission card, he turned around and checked the card swipe slot on the side. The situation was the same as what Muyu said. This card did have the temporary permission to withdraw people.

"Let it go."

After returning the card to the original master, the guardian guard nodded to signal the companion, and then the two helped open the heavy gate, accompanied by a "哐哐 哐" sound, the closed space behind the door tried to open the gap, leaped jump, leap

Came into Qu Xiao's sight.

This is an area that looks like a prison. There are several small rooms lined up on the left and right sides. The walls of each room are made of flat bricks. The only windows in the entire room are set on the top of the door panel facing the corridor.

The rooms on the left and right are opposite, and the corridor in the middle is not very spacious. Qu Xiao and Mu Yu walked side by side, and the remaining space was barely enough for one person to pass.

The lighting pole on the top was very bright, reflecting the number next to the door and window. Following the number, he continued to move deeper. Finally, Mu Yu led Qu Xiao and stopped in front of a room numbered "46".

"This is it."

After Mu Yu finished speaking, he opened the door with the permission card in his hand. However, before he could fully push the door open, Qu Xiao smelled an extremely strong odor.

Muyu subconsciously raised her hand to cover her nose, but because her right hand was tied to Qu Xiao's left hand, she also raised the latter's hand in front of her nose.

Touching Muyu's skin unintentionally, Qu Xiao suddenly felt a delicate and smooth feeling. He had never imagined the feeling of touching Muyu's facial skin before. Today, by chance, he felt a little surge in his heart.

If it were someone else, I'm afraid my heart would have already started to feel like a deer. It's such a luxurious experience to let yourself caress a beautiful woman who looks like a fairy.

But Qu Xiao was indeed Qu Xiao. He quickly broke away from those erotic matters and returned his thoughts to the present. He was obviously more concerned about the source of the smell than the delicate skin of his eyes.

The light in the room was very dim, so dark that he could barely see the figures. Qu Xiao glanced around with squinted eyes, and finally focused on something that looked like a drain in the nearby corner.

Although his vision was not very clear, Qu Xiao could still tell that there was some liquid and some solid substances remaining on the side of the thing. The source of the odor should be here. Judging from the shape of the residue, it was most likely produced by human physiological processes.

of urine and feces.

Farther away, two figures sat crouched. There were no outlines of beds or other furniture in the room. It could be seen that they usually slept on the floor mixed with dirty excrement.

Qu Xiao wanted to go up and talk to them, but was pulled back by Muyu, who shook his head at him, meaning that it was not necessary.

"You two, come here!"

After shouting loudly, two figures stood up and walked up at Megure's call. They were wearing the standard green jumpsuits for level four personnel. This was a symbol of lowliness and a mark to mark livestock.

However, the two of them did not show any emotion towards the clothes they wore. They had lived under oppression for too long, and they had long been accustomed to this kind of life where they only needed to obey.

Qu Xiao looked at their faces, and suddenly his eyes tightened and his breathing became rapid——

The older one among them was no stranger to him. He was the old man who he had helped before during the meal!
