Who moved her body?

Chapter 33 Could there really be a medicine that can bring the dead back to life?

On the other side of the garden is a sea of ​​colorful flowers. Under the afterglow, the flowers bloom in competition, trying to release their most beautiful fragrance in this short time to attract bees and butterflies and spread their pollen.

Across a sea of ​​flowers more than twenty meters wide, a row of garages with half-open doors stood along a red wall, ending abruptly three meters from the gate. Five cars were parked in the garage, with a cool red sports car standing in the middle, its soft top covering the roof, and the reflection of the car body shining directly across the sea of ​​flowers into Guan Jie's eyes.

Guan Jie reached out to block the path of the red light, and his palm immediately turned blood red.

"That's the boss's villa," Papaya said, pointing to the gate.

Behind the gate, a half-glass wall is visible, with several century-old trees lovingly staining the glass a dark green. The yellow roof and the exposed boulders behind the villa are almost the same color.

"The buildings on the island are all one story above ground and several stories underground, which not only provides sun protection but also ensures safety..." Papaya said.

Guan Jie didn't hear what Mu Gua said after that. He kept looking at the car, as if he would see someone open the door and get out at any moment, and he would miss it if he turned his head.

The setting sun, like a flickering ember, was extinguished in an instant.

As the sun set, the lights came on, illuminating the glass walls of the villa.

A woman dressed as a servant walked over and drew the curtains behind the glass wall. Then, the figure of a slender girl passed by behind the curtains.

"Is it her? Could it be her?" Guan Jie gritted his teeth, wishing he had a pair of arms that could stretch infinitely so he could pull back the curtains behind the glass and see if that familiar figure was indeed Song Xiaoxian.

After introducing Situ Feng's villa, Mugua pushed Guan Jie to continue walking.

"Do you see that cluster of houses over there?" Papaya asked, pointing to the low-rise villas behind the bushes.

Guan Jie nodded.

"Those are the residences of important figures in the R&D center. They are the most mysterious people on the island, and we usually don't see them."

After walking for half an hour, the low-rise but luxurious residential area came into view before Guan Jie.

The small villas with red brick walls each have a small garden outside. The flowers planted in front of each villa are different, but most of them are large and bright flowers. The house closest to Guan Jie has a rose bush in front of it, and the entire wall is covered by flowers. The pink and yellow roses are like three-dimensional sculptures on the wall, making people want to touch them.

There was a three-meter-high black metal fence between the residential area and the garden. High-voltage wires and alarms were placed on the fence. Just as Guan Jie was looking around at the iron fence in front of him, two security guards in uniform came out from behind a house and headed straight for Guan Jie.

"What are you doing?" the security guard asked, pointing at Guan Jie and Mu Gua.

Papaya was smoking when the security personnel suddenly appeared, startling her. She quickly took the cigarette out of her mouth, bent over, and said with a smile, "We're just taking a walk. We stopped to look at this pretty place for a while."

"This is not a place for sightseeing, leave now."

"Alright, let's go." Papaya raised her hand in a gesture of understanding and quickly pushed Guan Jie back onto the track.

"Come back!" another security guard shouted.

Papaya slowly turned around and looked at Guan Jie with some unease, but Guan Jie was not worried at all and remained calm.

"Which department are you from? I've never seen you before."

"Oh, we're the young master's men, and we've always lived outside." Papaya immediately explained, "Well, the young master was punished by the boss and grounded, so we came to live on the island with him."

The two security guards exchanged a glance, seemingly remembering something, and then looked at Guan Jie at the same time.

"You're the kid who saved Young Master, right?"

Guan Jie remained expressionless, so Mu Gua quickly replied, "Yes, yes, it was him who saved Young Master. He got injured while saving Young Master, so Young Master granted him permission to stay on the island. The weather is nice today, so I accompanied him out for a walk."

The two security guards sized up Guan Jie and said to Mu Gua, "You can leave, but this isn't a place for you. Get out of here."

"Okay, okay, we're leaving now."

Guan Jie sat in his wheelchair and looked back at the residential area.

It's quiet and peaceful here; the community is beautiful and clean, and the birdsong and fragrance of flowers all tell him how wonderful this place is.

Beautiful things are pleasing to the eye, but Guan Jie's intuition reminded him that this place was different from ordinary communities.

Why do I have this feeling? Guan Jie pondered.

Just as Guan Jie and Mu Gua turned onto the track, two men dressed as doctors in white coats appeared in front of the villa full of roses.

"A new cell experiment has been initiated, requiring people to observe the host's reaction 24 hours a day..."

The sound faded into the rose bushes as the wheelchair moved away, and then Guan Jie only heard the sound of a door closing, the sound being cut off behind the door.

"Where is the R&D center located?" Guan Jie asked Mugua.

"Behind this residential area, look at that bright spot over there." Papaya pointed to a bright area in the distance and said, "That bright spot is the office area. The research and development center and laboratories are all down there. It's said to be the safest place in the world; even the radiation from an atomic bomb can't penetrate it."

"It's really safe, perhaps a little too safe," Guan Jie chuckled.

"I heard from the boss that the owner isn't just doing drug research and development on the market," Papaya said, glancing around to make sure no one was watching. He lowered his voice and continued, "The boss is developing a drug that can control people; I heard it can even bring the dead back to life."

"What did you say?" Guan Jie asked, turning around, his hands gripping the sides of the wheelchair tightly, as if he would fall off if he lost his grip.

Papaya put her index finger to her lips and shushed him, saying, "Keep your voice down. This is what the boss said when he was drunk. He said it's a secret, and outsiders would be in mortal danger if they knew."

Sweat trickled down Guan Jie's temples and down his neck, leaving a water stain on his gray T-shirt.

"What's wrong? Are you alright?" Seeing that Guan Jie's expression was off, Mu Gua quickly opened the water bottle hanging next to the wheelchair and handed it to Guan Jie.

"Oh, it's nothing, I was just startled." Guan Jie twitched the corner of his mouth, gulped down half a bottle of water in one go, and then breathed a sigh of relief. "You made it sound so mystical, I almost believed you, haha."

Papaya breathed a sigh of relief.

If anything happened to Guan Jie, he would definitely be in trouble too. Xu Haiyang had specifically instructed him to take good care of Guan Jie. Although Xu Haiyang could be a jerk at times, he was also incredibly loyal and would repay those who were good to him a hundredfold. Therefore, Mu Gua dared not let anything happen to Guan Jie in front of him.

After Guan Jie recovered, Mu Gua leaned down and whispered, "You don't believe me? I do. Look at the security on this island, it's like an impregnable fortress. Ordinary people can't even get onto the island, let alone enter the research and development center."

Guan Jie knew that Papaya was right. He saw the spikes all around him on the cruise ship and the searchlights that kept scanning at night. Without a legitimate reason, he really couldn't even get to the island.

"Can you really conclude they're developing a elixir of life just based on tight security measures? I'm still a little skeptical." Guan Jie shook his head, chuckling jokingly, "Even Qin Shi Huang couldn't find this elixir, yet ordinary people can develop it? Qin Shi Huang would probably be crying his eyes out."

"What era are we living in? Still talking about Qin Shi Huang?" Papaya chuckled and teased Guan Jie. "What they're developing now is medicine, not elixirs of immortality. Believe it or not, the boss actually succeeded in developing this medicine, and it really can bring people back to life. The boss saw it with his own eyes."

"Then tell me, how do you bring someone back to life?"
