Number 19 was lying on the moving bed, her remaining eye staring at the ceiling with a dull expression.
(I should be finished, right?)
With such heavy injuries, even after treatment, I most probably wouldn't be able to recover to my current standard. I'd definitely be thrown into the white room.
The experimental bodies staying in the white room were all low-grade students who had been eliminated once.
They still had one last chance to perform here. If they still couldn't prove themselves within three months, they'd be discarded.
(Wait, with such heavy injuries, I should be discarded directly, right?)
No. 19 had always felt that life in the manor was very tiring. Although he could eat his fill, it was too stifling and tiring. He had to study and cultivate every day. Even the amount of food he ate was regulated.
Once the experimental body was in a bad mood and lost their appetite, an assistant would appear and forcefully stuff food into their mouths.
The health management of the experimental body was very important. If not, the data would deviate and the success rate of the experiment would be affected.
No. 19 had thought of dying before, but now that he was about to die, he felt afraid.
"Why isn't there anyone taking care of him?"
A voice suddenly rang out beside his ear, filled with concern. This caused No. 19's mood to improve a little. He turned his head, wanting to see which researcher it was, but he didn't know who it was.
"The assistant should have entered the laboratory to look for a doctor."
Jiang Leng explained.
"Jiang... Jiang Leng?"
No. 19 was shocked. (Weren't you discarded?
Why are you here?)
"Teacher, if we continue to wait, he'll die."
Li Ziqi checked No. 19's condition and discovered that it was very serious.
"Take off his clothes."
Sun Mo instructed his disciple. After that, he consoled No. 19. "I'll help you treat him now. You don't have to worry. You'll be fine after a good night's sleep."
Sun Mo was worried that this young man would kick up a fuss and affect the treatment. Hence, he directly stretched out his hand and pinched his neck.
Pak!
No. 19's head tilted and he fainted.
BOOM!
Spirit qi gushed out from Sun Mo's hands and the genie took form.
Connect the broken bones.
Connect the energy channels.
Deal with the bone dregs that had pierced into the muscle tissues.
Then, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis...
Sun Mo was already very familiar with this process. Hence, it was easy for him to do it.
"That Hu Baoshan is so ruthless!"
Li Ziqi felt her scalp turning numb when she saw this. 01 was definitely intentionally injuring Qin Wentian because he had destroyed the spirit runes on the young man's chest.
To experimental bodies, damaged spirit runes were equivalent to trash.
"These spirit runes are so troublesome."
Sun Mo frowned.
The youth's body was almost completely covered in spirit runes. He had never studied these before, so he didn't dare to rashly repair or remove them.
…
In the laboratory, Assistant Yu looked anxious and kept glancing at the clean room inside.
If this dragged on, Number 19 would die.
However, when the big boss was doing an experiment, he didn't dare to disturb him. If the experiment failed, he would be hanged to death.
After waiting for ten minutes, Assistant Yu still didn't see any signs of the experiment ending. He had no choice. For the sake of Number 19's life, he knocked on the door of the laboratory.
"What is it?"
Yan Sui's furious voice rang out.
Assistant Yu's neck immediately shrank back. Needless to say, the experiment was definitely not going well. However, since the door was already knocked, he could only bite the bullet and do it.
"Number 19 was heavily injured by 01. His life is in danger. He has been waiting for 15 minutes."
"Since he's on the verge of death, what's the point of treating him?"
Yan Sui scolded, "Get lost, can't you see I'm busy?"
Yan Sui was proficient in the art of spirit runes and medicine. He was the number three character in the entire Dragonspirit Manor, only inferior to Bai Wenzhang and Cui Shunen.
Usually, only those who were seriously injured would ask him to fight.
If Yan Sui was free, he wouldn't mind helping. But now, he was too busy.
It was unknown why Bai Wenzhang suddenly increased the speed of his experiments during this past year. He even started to experiment on some theories that weren't perfected.
Hence, the casualty rate of the experimental bodies increased greatly.
Naturally, some people weren't afraid of dying. What he was afraid of was that the experiments wouldn't have any progress.
Assistant Yu's face was covered in dirt from the scolding.
He knew that Number 19 was dead for sure. Logically speaking, he should go out and try his best. But what if Number 19 asked him when Yan Sui would come out? How should he reply?
He couldn't possibly say that he had already been abandoned, right?
Sigh!
Assistant Yu sat on the chair and held his head with his hands. He felt a sense of resentment and helplessness.
He was a great teacher who loved the study of spirit runes. He came to the manor to seek knowledge because he heard that the spirit rune technology here was advanced and that they stood at the forefront of the Nine Provinces. But after truly joining, he discovered how cruel reality was.
This place was cold, emotionless, and had no human flavor. They only cared about results.
Just like that, half an hour passed by. Yan Sui had a look of misfortune on his face as he pushed open the door and walked out.
The experiment ended. It failed again.
"Teacher Yan!"
Assistant Yu immediately stood up. After that, he saw a mobile bed with wheels being pushed out. The young man on it was no longer breathing.
"Push Number 19 over."
Yan Sui instructed.
"Ah?"
Assistant Yu started.
"What ah? Can't you even do such a small job? "
He scolded solemnly.
"Oh!"
Assistant Yu hurriedly ran out, thinking that he should have gone out to take care of Number 19 earlier.
Right now, he might already be dead.
When Assistant Yu rushed into the corridor with fear in his heart, he was surprised to see Number 19 sleeping soundly on the bed. He didn't think too much and hurriedly pushed Number 19 into the laboratory.
After sending Number 19 off, Assistant Yu hurriedly went out because he wasn't qualified to be Yan Sui's assistant. But just when he stepped out, he heard Yan Sui's roar.
"Are you playing with me?"
Yan Sui roared in anger.
(I'm already so tired, yet you still dare to make fun of me?)
(What a bastard!)
"Scram in!"
Assistant Yu eagerly entered the laboratory again.
Pak!
An ink bottle flew over.
Assistant Yu didn't dare to dodge and could only receive it head-on.
Bang!
The bottle smashed onto Assistant Yu's head. A moment later, fresh blood mixed with spirit rune ink splattered all over him.
"Are you blind? Why did you push such a wounded person over? Is my time so worthless? "
Yan Sui scolded.
"Ah? Number 19 is about to die! "
Assistant Yu didn't understand. Was this not heavy enough?
"Open your dog eyes and look!"
Yan Sui tore off Number 19's clothes.
"Eh?"
Assistant Yu turned pale with fright.
Because Number 19's ribs were broken, his chest had caved in. There were even a few bones that pierced through his flesh. But now, he was perfectly fine.
What was going on?
Assistant Yu stretched his hand out to touch.
His bones were intact, and there were no injuries on his skin.
"Push him out. And you, scram from the manor immediately!"
Yan Sui had a fiery temper, but he was still rational. If it wasn't for the fact that too many of his subordinates had died recently, he would have killed this useless assistant.
"Wait, he was indeed heavily injured earlier. Master Wu Li and the others saw it."
Assistant Yu's forehead was filled with cold sweat. Right now, he couldn't care about Number 19's health and directly shook him awake. "Don't sleep. What happened when I left?"
"Eh? Why doesn't it hurt anymore? "
Number 19 was astonished. He could even move freely.
"Speak!"
Assistant Yu urged.
"I... I... I seemed to have seen Jiang Leng!"
Number 19 recalled.
"Jiang Leng?"
Yan Sui naturally knew of this young man. "Tell me!"
The main reason was that he had lost control of his emotions due to the failure of his experiment. After calming down, he understood that this little assistant wouldn't dare to make fun of him.
That meant that someone had healed his injuries.
But wasn't this a little too fast?
Number 19 naturally couldn't say anything.
"Go and investigate!"
Yan Sui instructed.
...
At this moment, Sun Mo had already left the experimental area and arrived at the living area.
There was no solution to it. Although Bai Wenzhang said that he could freely look around, not everyone knew about this.
With no one leading him, let alone an outsider like Sun Mo, even a minor character like Assistant Yu didn't have the qualifications to roam around.
"If they can't display their value within three months, they will be abandoned."
Jiang Leng introduced.
These children no longer needed to attend classes and were allowed to move around freely. This was because the experimenters wouldn't waste manpower on them anymore.
The majority of the children were either cultivating or reading books. Only a small portion of them found a place to bask in the sun.
It wasn't that they didn't want to work hard. It was because their bodies were too heavily injured and they had no way to cultivate. Hence, their eyes were filled with despair as though they were waiting for death.
Sun Mo activated Divine Sight and glanced over.
All of them were injured and there were damaged spirit runes on their bodies. Their situation was similar to Jiang Leng's back then.
Then, he looked at their potential value!
Sun Mo scanned through over 100 young men and women. Other than over 20 of them being above average, the remaining ones were all extremely high-grade or high-grade.
"Teacher, you should be able to treat them, right?"
Jiang Leng felt trepidation.
"Mn!"
Sun Mo nodded. However, he couldn't act so quickly.
If they were treated, Bai Wenzhang might use them for experiments again. Hence, he might as well 'buy' them. This way, he could do a good deed and could also strengthen the school's strength.
One must know that these were all peak-grade life sources!
Sun Mo strolled around twice and went to the living area of the experimenters to take a look. After that, he got Jiang Leng to bring him to the location of the second riddle.
There was also a large-scale stone house here.
After entering, he could see that there was a large rectangular pit dug underground. It was the size of two football fields, and the ground was covered with metal plates.
These metal plates had strange runes on them.
Sun Mo saw that there were over 20 people in the stone house. They were standing on a high platform and surveying the metal floor below.
"This is a riddle. Don't try it easily because you might die."
Jiang Leng warned.
"Die?"
Qin Yaoguang's interest was piqued. This was fun!
"Mn, I heard that this riddle requires you to spell out a certain spirit rune. However, if you spell it wrongly, you might be electrocuted."
Jiang Leng had tried it before. The feeling was truly unbearable.
Sun Mo activated Divine Sight.
As expected, it was another ineffective target.
"What should I do?"
Li Ziqi was eager to try.
"Jump down and stand on the floor. You will be able to see the spirit rune fragments."
After Jiang Leng spoke, Sun Mo jumped down. Since they were already here, he naturally had to give it a try.
Swish!
Upon seeing someone jumping down, the great teachers in the surroundings immediately became spirited.
This new visitor was so impetuous. He most probably would die!
