Chapter 6: Money Over Life

Moreover, Chen Xiao had a vague feeling that this matter was likely to bring her considerable trouble

In this context, the child claims to reside in "Biological Warehouse No. 16"

This question finally diverted Ya Ya's attention; she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and quickly provided an answer

Chen Xiao rode for 3 kilometers and arrived at a nearby commercial district, where she purchased two women's T-shirts and a pair of women's jeans. She then casually bought a dozen pieces of lingerie at the supermarket. After considering that she had nearly spent all her cash, she decided to walk a bit further and saw a bank by the roadside. She locked her bicycle securely and strode inside.

At the moment she jumped down, her body suddenly turned transparent! Fortunately, it was this way; otherwise, during broad daylight, seeing a woman in black jump from the rooftop would surely frighten people

As Si Ya Ya mentioned, it seems that there are other blue-blooded humans in addition to her, but they all live in a place that is closed off from the outside world (it is certainly isolated from the outside, otherwise she would not lack even basic common knowledge), living separately in something called a "biological capsule".

On the rooftop of the building that Chen Xiao had just observed, there was a faintly discernible outline in the air, resembling a transparent human figure

This matter is becoming increasingly complex and profound

Speed, D level (Normal)

After having some thoughts in her mind, Chen Xiao dismissed the idea of taking Ya Ya shopping and instead left her alone at home, reminding her not to go outside and even drawing the curtains. Only then did she go out alone to shop.

The mind is exceptionally chaotic

On ordinary days, there are some strange individuals responsible for taking care of (or rather, supervising and imprisoning) Ya Ya and other blue-blooded individuals. Ya Ya refers to them as "they"—and whenever she mentions "they," she always displays a look of fear.

Yaya nodded, but then she shook her head and said, "I don't like the name 'Sixteen'."

Chen Xiao came downstairs and retrieved his bicycle from m.hetushu.com. Just as he mounted it, he suddenly felt a strange sensation in his heart. He raised his head and looked towards the roof of a residential building across the street

The window of the black Buick sedan was open, and inside the driver's seat sat a young woman dressed in a red coat. This woman's appearance bore some resemblance to the woman in the black leather jacket on the rooftop earlier, but the cold, menacing aura between her brows was noticeably diminished, making her seem much softer. She held the steering wheel with one hand while lazily propping her other hand on the window, driving slowly and maintaining a certain distance behind Chen Xiao.

So why do you have the name 'Ya Ya'?

And a blue-blooded person is certainly very precious... Suddenly it fell into my hands... Will it bring trouble to myself?

The bank hall was eerily silent, an unusual stillness enveloping the space! As I looked around, there wasn't a single person standing! ... There were dozens of people in the hall, yet the majority had their hands on their heads, crouched on the ground, while the remaining few were obediently huddled in the corners, each with an expression as still as a cicada in winter, and some were casting terrified glances behind them ...

In the earpiece, a voice sighed: "You, don't you usually pay attention to the news from above? I have heard that this incident was caused by someone in Group Three who, without the organization's permission, privately accepted a commission from the parents of the target person two years ago. As a result, it was discovered by the higher-ups, and they were furious! Do you know? Now, the entire Group Three has been implicated by that member who took the commission without authorization, and they have all returned to headquarters to face punishment."

As if completely unaffected by the gravity of the Earth, her body floated down to the ground like a feather. After glancing around and seeing no one, she slowly revealed her figure and pressed her earpiece: "Hey, what do you actually know? Speak up!"

Chen Xiao immediately reacted, but soon after, a cold object was already pressed against the back of his neck

Chaos

The place at https://www.hetushu.com is home to many researchers, and Chen Xiao has also been there... It does not resemble the mysterious and cold environment described by Ya Ya.

However, she soon became no longer bored

The research institution where my parents worked during their lifetime is known to Chen Xiao; it is a research institute focused on a certain type of chemical liquid gas, which is not closely related to biological engineering. Moreover, the institution is not particularly large, as ordinary wealthy individuals like my parents could become one of the partners. Chen Xiao has some understanding of the research institute where his parents worked, and he has even visited it twice.

... ...

The woman in the black leather jacket frowned: "Aside from her unknown intelligence and slightly above-average combat skills, there is nothing else that sets her apart... she is just an ordinary person. Sending someone like me to monitor a useless ordinary person, have the higher-ups lost their minds?"

Seeing that the child seemed to be in great pain and confusion, Chen Xiao felt a stir in her heart but quickly changed the subject: "Let's not think about that for now. Let me ask you... about the ones you mentioned, No. 6 and No. 11... what exactly is going on with those guys?"

Endurance, D level (Normal)

"Then shouldn't you be called 'Number 16'?" Chen Xiao asked.

"Yi, how do you know so much? What else do you know? Why would they be interested in such an ordinary boy?" The woman in black lazily stood on the rooftop, and then... she leaped!

According to Yaya's description, Chen Xiao began to further mentally construct a general framework.

Chen Xiao couldn't help but sigh—could it be that she was so unfortunate?! She actually encountered a bank robbery?!

Watching Chen Xiao sitting in front of the computer in a daze, Ya Ya did not disturb him. She simply walked over, extended her soft little hand, and gently placed it on Chen Xiao's shoulder, silently gazing at him with her frost-like eyes.

As mentioned in that article online: blue-blooded humans are a nearly legendary existence—presumably extremely rare and precious

As for what happened later, Yaya did not know. She claimed to have been in a very large "Biological Chamber No. 16" in a state of hibernation, and when she woke up, she found herself in Chen Xiao's home.

With her terrifying memory, which she refers to as "photographic memory," and her ability to memorize a book of over 300 pages in just one hour, Chen Xiao also believes that it is impossible for her to have forgotten that segment of memory. The only explanation is: brainwashing

The voice in the headset seemed to chuckle: "If you want to file a complaint, I won't be co-signing with you. Alright, focus on your work and stop complaining. If the higher-ups find out, be careful, or you might be sent to Antarctica for a mission. Now, keep an eye on that blue-blood girl at home, and I'll continue monitoring the target."

The figure only slowly revealed itself after Chen Xiao turned and left

Because ... . ... dares to use living people for experiments, whether they are ordinary humans or blue-blooded individuals! Such actions in themselves prove that this organization must possess power that transcends the law

She has short black hair and a delicate face that should be very beautiful; however, her eyes appear slightly elongated. Clearly, she is a very beautiful woman, yet the sharpness of her gaze adds an element of discord to her facial features.

This time, the child seemed to be in a daze. She tilted her head and thought hard for a while, but her face was filled with distress: "It seems I have forgotten." She furrowed her brows in contemplation, yet a trace of pain gradually appeared on her face: "I... why can't I remember? This should be my name, but why can't I recall it?"

Hmph! The woman known as "Black Seven" sneered, "I was originally supposed to go to Greece to carry out another interesting task, yet I have been brought here to do such a boring thing. After this mission is over, I will definitely write a report questioning this."

Watching Chen Xiao walk away, a strange smile curved at the corners of her mouth

Yaya is number 16 ... ? ... So can we speculate that this organization has at least controlled sixteen blue-blooded individuals?

The answer from Ya Ya is the same as Chen Xiao's guess: the so-called No. 6 and No. 11, etc., refer to living in "Biological Warehouse No. 6" and "Biological Warehouse No. 11"

What stirred an overwhelming excitement in Chen Xiao's heart was the question: does this organization have any connection to her parents? She even pondered further... Was the death of her father and mother truly an accident and unforeseen event?

Strength, D Level (Normal)

"Hmph, just a low-level blue-blooded person who hasn't awakened yet." This woman expressed some dissatisfaction: "For such a low-level task, it would suffice to send someone from Team Three; why are we being assigned to it!"

Perhaps I was too nervous. Chen Xiao sighed and quickly rode away on his bicycle

Chen Xiao had just ridden out of the gate of the residential community, cycling along the roadside, but did not pay attention. Just a moment ago, a black Buick sedan that had been parked at the entrance of the community slowly started up and followed behind.

The place where Yaya was before—let's tentatively assume it was an organization. This organization has the capability to control several blue-blooded individuals, such power certainly warrants Chen Xiao's heightened vigilance

Her complaints had not yet ended when a voice filled with amusement came through the headset: "Hei Qi, do you have any doubts about the orders from above?"

Combat skill, C level. ... Oh ... ... it seems that the combat skill is slightly higher than that of an average person

Energy Level, D Level (Normal)

Intelligence, unknown (lack of data)

The weather in May has already become somewhat hot, yet this figure is dressed in an extremely tight leather jacket! The fitted leather jacket perfectly outlines the curves of her body, revealing a woman with a stunning figure.

Indeed, it is transparent

In other words, she came from "Biological Capsule No. 16" to Chen Xiao's home, and the experience in between seems to be blank

Chen Xiao had too many questions in her mind, and could only try to restrain her thoughts, asking carefully one by one: "When you mention the 6th and the 11th, who are you referring to? Are they the same as you?"

Yaya is unaware; she has no understanding of the existence of "Three"

However, Yaya and other blue-blooded individuals seem to have become experimental subjects for "them". According to Yaya, she is regularly subjected to blood extraction. She has never asked why and has long since become accustomed to it

Hmph, although he is an ordinary person, he seems to be quite sensitive

In summary ...! ... It seems that having the child here is somewhat dangerous!

Such an organization, how powerful it is, Chen Xiao could not be certain, but it can be imagined that it must possess enormous financial resources! Not to mention anything else, just the so-called "biological warehouse" where Ya Ya and other blue-blooded individuals reside is said to be over six hundred times larger than his own home!

Chen Xiao, in a daze, felt a myriad of thoughts swirling in her mind, unsure of where to begin—what means did she have to verify this matter?

The afternoon sunlight is very bright, and on the rooftops across the street, only a few households have installed solar water heater heat transfer devices, which reflect dazzling light in the sun, somewhat blinding; the rest is unremarkable.

As she spoke, she gently pressed her left ear, where she wore a device resembling a wireless headset for mobile phones. The only difference was that a thin, transparent glass lens extended in front of her left eye, resembling a monocle.

So ...? ... Who is that Three? The one who mailed this item to themselves, said to be a mysterious person entrusted by their own parents, who could it be?

Don't move! If you want to stay alive, put your hands on your head and lie down! Be honest, we want money, not lives

"Don't ask me anymore, I really don't know. Don't forget, although we both belong to Group Seven, you are Black and I am Red, and your rank is higher than mine. If you don't know something, then don't ask me. " After a pause, the voice in the earpiece laughed and said, "I see the target has come out, no more talking, work is important, I will follow him."

As I pushed the door open and walked in, I suddenly felt that the atmosphere seemed somewhat off

The woman in the tight leather outfit gently pressed her earpiece, gazing at Chen Xiao's back. Immediately, a series of faint crackling sounds emanated from the glass lens in front of her left eye, as a rapid succession of short numbers flashed across the lens.

Alas, this is indeed a tedious task
