"It's amazing. She is a genius to think of artificial xenobiotic experiments. According to your original idea, transplanting phagocytes is indeed a good thing."

The doctor smiled helplessly:

"But we will never be able to overcome the difficulty of devouring flesh and blood. This is also the fundamental reason why humans are afraid of alien species."

"How many artificial xenomorphs are there in your flower shop?"

"There are 120 people in total. A small number of them came from that experiment. They volunteered to undergo the experiment to make up for their physical defects."

The Doctor paused and sighed.

"The rest are all from the Alphabet Organization's laboratory. Some of them escaped, and some were abandoned as incomplete products. They all have one thing in common: they are all underage children. In comparison, Gu Zhilan is like a big sister."

"To be honest, after being an executive for so long, it's easy to forget your age." An Ran rarely smiled from the bottom of his heart.

"Now that I think about it, I am a young man too, but I always speak like an older man without realizing it."

She returned the drawing to the assistant, and just as the assistant reached out to take it, An Ran suddenly grabbed her wrist.

An Ran was stunned.

"Sorry." She suppressed her inner turmoil and pretended to be apologetic.

The assistant just nodded slightly and didn't react much when An Ran grabbed his wrist.

The doctor looked at this scene and continued the previous topic:

"So what do you think as an executive? Most of the people in the flower shop are children. They should have had a better life, but now they are left with only gloomy moods and despair. The flower shop is actually a shelter for artificial aliens. Will you still try to destroy the children's last hope?"

"I said that I would not waver in my belief in being an executive officer, but I am a monster... Doctor, I have given up on my plan to cooperate with you because I was moved by your words. Artificial aliens are all innocent. These children should have been enjoying milk and bread at home."

"I will abide by the cooperation I have established with you as an executive officer and will also provide assistance to the flower shop, but not for long."

After saying this, she took a step back:

"I think I should go. Where is the door?"

Following the doctor's instructions, An Ran left quickly, but she looked extremely embarrassed, like a dejected mouse.

After a while, the lights in the entire laboratory came on.

The so-called assistant took off the hood and mask, and Xu Yanqian gently stroked the glass that retained the temperature belonging to An Ran.

The doctor said sarcastically:

"It looks like she discovered your identity. Did she run into you at that time? I thought your disguise was pretty good. Did you do something terrible to make her so scared of you?"

Xu Yanqian looked at the cup in her hand and said nothing.

Chapter 36 Ward

Xu Sinuo slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw the unfamiliar room, he was stunned for a moment, and closed his eyes again. When he opened his eyes again, he still saw a sci-fi style intensive care unit, like the most luxurious scenic suite.

Turning around, you can see the pitch-black city outside through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.

She was certain that she was not in the Shanshu City Countermeasures Branch. To be honest, the place was too poor to have such a luxurious nursing suite.

Xu Sinuo was lying on the soft hospital bed, with small bubbles slowly coming out of the two bottles of IV drips hanging above his head. The infusion tubes were connected to the back of his left hand and upper arm.

My body feels so stiff, stiff and painful.

Looking up, there was a huge screen, with time beating.

04:51.

She thought back to what had happened in the past seven hours, memories flooding into her mind, and she couldn't help trembling as she recalled the girl's face once again.

"feel better now?"

A voice came slowly, and there turned out to be a figure standing in front of the bed. She turned around and turned out to be a beautiful woman with a pair of strange light blue eyes, yet still gorgeous.

Xu Sinuo looked at that person, and the two of them stared at each other for a full minute. In fact, she knew the woman in front of her, but she just didn't know how to start the conversation.

"What's wrong?" the woman asked softly.

"Hello, Director An." Xu Sinuo said.

"You are in the headquarters of the Countermeasures Bureau, and you should have many hideous wounds on your body. We performed a full-body examination on you while you were asleep and found that you had four broken ribs, a shattered liver, and a completely necrotic thigh. You also had eleven penetrating wounds that should have been recorded in textbooks. There is no way a person like this could survive."

An Xin recounted the injuries on Xu Sinuo's body in detail. Her tone was neither hurried nor slow, and she paused at the end.

"During the examination 21 minutes ago, your injuries miraculously disappeared. Oh, by the way, I heard that you had a piercing wound on your back that went straight to your heart?"

Xu Sinuo nodded. She admitted that her body was special, but she herself didn't know the reason.

"The Research Department has taken a keen interest in this matter and has drawn two tubes of your blood. You will feel weak as a result."

Xu Sinuo felt physically tired.

"But there is still some time before the results come out, let's talk about other things." An Xin finally stated the purpose.

Xu Sinuo's understanding of An Xin came entirely from pictures and videos. She felt that this woman always took a nonchalant attitude towards everything. She wore the same old-fashioned executive uniform all year round. How many executives would wear such clothes nowadays?

The woman in front of him revealed a kind of coldness just from her eyes, as if all the people in the An family were freaks.

The same is true for the couple who are in charge of the An family, and Director An Ran looks like no one can get close to him.

Xu Sinuo sat up as much as possible. She felt it was somewhat impolite to lie down and listen to others talking.

But his body was too weak and even moving his thighs was difficult.

"Just lie down. As a wounded person, you should have a good rest," An Xin actually smiled at her, holding a black bracelet in her hand.

"Your Devouring Weapon, it's called... 'Fall' right? It has been repaired and has undergone a certain degree of transformation."

After taking the Devouring Weapon handed over by the director, Xu Sinuo felt a sense of relief holding the bracelet.

"Reform?" she asked, looking up.

"The Research Department made some minor changes. You can consider it an upgrade, but I don't know the details. Do you remember what happened last night?"

It was now nearly five in the morning and the day would soon dawn, and it could be said that this was what happened last night.

"Which part?" Xu Sinuo vaguely understood Director An's purpose.

"Naya, she is Naiya, right?"

Xu Sinuo hesitated for a while before nodding and responding:

"She's still alive. I can't be mistaken."

"Why did she save you?"

Xu Sinuo was stunned: "Save... me?"

"When you were about to become food for the aliens, she appeared to protect you and killed them. Here is the video."

She now struggled to move her body and sit up, and An Xin handed the tablet to her. The picture on the screen was the scene shot on the helicopter.

In the picture, Wu Yiqi's father was seen wrapping himself in tentacles. When all the aliens stopped breathing, the girl who controlled the tentacles let herself go and left.

After watching the video, Xu Sinuo was silent for a long time.

"You seem to know each other, and your relationship is not ordinary." An Xin's eyes swept across the camera above her head intentionally or unintentionally.

Xu Sinuo said slowly in a hoarse voice:

"Director, do you know...my parents?"

"I do not know."

"They are small business people who once opened a company here, and I am not a native of Shanshu City." She put down the tablet.

"Three years ago, my parents and I lived in an apartment in Zhawei Lane, but one night we encountered an alien species. You know what happened next, Director, right? Such things have happened too many times."

"Were they killed by Naya?" An Xin was a little surprised by this answer. She did not investigate Xu Sinuo's background before coming.

"I hated her, so I was always thinking about revenge, but I was transferred to the Cedar City Branch, so I never had the chance."

An Xin suddenly realized.

"So you were the girl who refused to accept the transfer order and caused a scene in the director's office last year?"

"It was me." Xu Sinuo smiled bitterly, "But Director An Ran is a very kind person and didn't pursue the matter."

"But why did she save you?"

"Director An, you have to ask her. If I have the chance to let her appear in front of me again, I will definitely take revenge on her even at the risk of my life..."

"I understand." An Xin responded calmly. This time the inquiry did not yield much useful information.

But knowing that Naya is still alive is enough.

She would never forget the first time she met this alien girl four years ago, and how she looked at her with pleading and desperate eyes.

It seems to be saying save me, please save me...

After that, every time the girl appeared, she had that cold look in her eyes and an expression that was very similar to his.

She turned around and was about to leave because it was time to go home. If there were any questions she had missed, she could ask them tomorrow.

Xu Sinuo suddenly lowered his head and said:

"Director, um... An, has Director An Ran contacted you? He must be fine, right?"

"He'll be back soon."

"That's good..." After saying that, she looked up again, and Qi Liuyi was a little dejected.

"Are you okay?" An Xin asked standing at the door.

"I'm fine, I just feel a little strange." Xu Sinuo lowered his head, as if something was on his mind.

"what happened?"

"Director An Ran's memory is a little bit bad. When we met on the mission that day, he didn't recognize me at all."

An Xin narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard these words. She was actually not the old-fashioned and strict person that others saw, and she was a little curious about the relationship between the two.

"Have you ever known each other?"

"Yes." Xu Sinuo nodded, "In the academy, the director at that time was not yet the executive officer of the hall. We met a few times."

"His memory is really bad sometimes. For example, he would forget who I am. He would even forget that he has a sister." An Xin said lightly.

"He always has nightmares, and every time he wakes up, he has paranoid delusions, always feeling that he is being watched by something. Sometimes it is even more excessive, thinking that he is a monster. I think he is confused in his sleep, and only then can he not remember things."

Xu Sinuo wanted to say something else, but she didn’t know the meaning of what she said at this moment. What did it matter if Director An Ran forgot about her?

He is the only son of the An Group. To him, he is just a vague memory.

After walking out of the room, An Xin leaned against the corridor and enlarged the screen on the tablet.

It was a frozen photo of Naya when she spread out her tentacles, and the enlarged part was her cold face without any emotion.

She looked at it for a long time and finally closed it.

Chapter 37 Leaving the Flower Shop

An Ran and Hua Dian reached a consensus on artificial alien species. She felt that the Alphabet Organization's artificial alien experiments must be stopped.

It’s a pity that the Countermeasures Bureau’s knowledge of this experiment only comes from the cleanup operation a few years ago.

She believes her sister didn't even realize the dangers of the experiment.

It is necessary to return to the Countermeasures Bureau and lead an operation against artificial alien experiments.

Before leaving, she found Gu Zhilan. The girl who had left the red liquid tank was sitting in the corner of the laboratory, quiet and dignified.

She was looking up at a huge glass container with many kinds of fish swimming around in it, like an aquarium.

This time, An Ran did not take the abandoned passage, but took the elevator directly. She actually quite enjoyed the feeling of sliding down.

"You are too calm. You don't find it strange that I am an alien." She moved closer to the girl.

Gu Zhilan didn't say anything at first because she didn't hear any sound at all. She was immersed in her own world, watching the fish swim.

This is a short-term side effect of being immersed in a liquid tank, which makes a person's nerve reaction speed dozens of times slower than that of other people.

The doctor had told An Ran this before she came, to wait patiently.

It took her a while to realize that An Ran was standing next to her, and his face was even close to her.

"What?" She was a little surprised.

"Do you know who I am?"

An Ran decided to use another way of dialogue to guide the girl's thinking, so she tried asking questions.
