Chapter 10, 8957

Inside the laboratory, the staff were all ready. One of the leaders said, "The experiment begins," and then everyone immersed themselves in their respective tasks. Du Zifeng and Andrew completely lost consciousness, lying there in the laboratory without any awareness.

Regarding these matters, Du Zifeng is not worried at all, because he had long heard from Heidi that the true experimental methods are entirely in her hands, while the techniques possessed by the Jinsen Group are merely conceptualized based on the modified data provided by Heidi. Moreover, Heidi had already informed Du Zifeng that true experiments do not require the deletion of the subjects' memories, nor do they necessitate the removal of the undeveloped parts of the subjects' brains

I am just curious, can you tell me everything you know? Du Zifeng directly got to the point, as he did not like to beat around the bush, because for him, that was too mentally taxing

Du Zifeng, wake up... wake up, Du Zifeng! In a haze, Du Zifeng suddenly heard someone calling his name, and he slowly opened his eyes

Is he really a research subject just like me? Du Zifeng continued to delve into the truth of the matter, as he had too many questions regarding all of this

However, Andrew did not receive Heidi's favor like Du Zifeng did. In this regard, Heidi explained that Andrew was too dominant, and his innate qualities were superior to those of Du Zifeng, making him an unsuitable experimental subject. This is also why Du Zifeng saw Andrew appearing so tormented during the experiment today

At this moment, Du Zifeng was completely awake. Looking at Heidi in front of him, he suddenly recalled the boy he had seen in the afternoon, codenamed 8957, and couldn't help but immediately inquire about him from Heidi. In Du Zifeng's impression, Heidi had never mentioned that there were other experimental subjects in the Jinsen Group's brain development project, although it was also possible that Heidi felt it unnecessary to inform Du Zifeng about these matters.

"How can you sleep so soundly?" Heidi looked at Du Zifeng, who had just sat up, with an expression of displeasure.

"Who is it at this hour of the night, disturbing my sleep?" Du Zifeng seemed to have forgotten that he was sleeping in the underground research headquarters of the Jinsen Group, grumbling as he turned over, preparing to go back to sleep.

The experiment was finally about to begin, and the excitement within Du Zifeng intensified. He was ready to fully experience the entire process of the experiment, but in the next moment, he lost all consciousness and fainted.

Hey, Du Zifeng! Suddenly, the room was filled with brilliant light, accompanied by this roaring sound, which truly startled Du Zifeng.

Du Zifeng was filled with questions, yet at that moment, he could not obtain any answers, as it was naturally impossible for him to inquire with the staff. Moreover, the boy with the code name 8957 had fainted, so after watching the staff assist him into the room next to the laboratory, Du Zifeng left reluctantly

The blonde young man, whose real name is Andrew, is said to have previously been a wealthy heir like Johnson, but his family has fallen on hard times. Moreover, in a significant accident, Andrew became the only survivor of his family. As for the specifics of the accident, Heidi stated that she is not very clear about it, only knowing that Andrew's entire family perished in that incident

"9527, come with us." As soon as the door to the room swung open, two staff members in white coats took Du Zifeng away. Du Zifeng quietly followed behind the two, his acting skills having become increasingly refined during this time. To outsiders, he now appeared to be nothing more than a simple soldier obediently following orders

Then Du Zifeng saw the staff walk up to 8957, clumsily removing the helmet from his head, revealing his face to Du Zifeng.

The fact is indeed as such, however, he has been undergoing the experiment for a period of time, yet the results have consistently been unsatisfactory. Research data indicates that he is indeed very unsuitable for this experiment, and moreover, this individual's mental will is excessively strong, which has hindered the smooth progress of most experiments. Heidi added once more, reiterating the fact that Andrew is not suitable for this experiment.

Alright, since you are so eager to know, I will tell you everything I know. As for Du Zifeng, Heidi has nothing to hide, after all, the two have already reached a cooperation agreement, and now they can be considered comrades on the same front.

Are you referring to that blonde boy? Heidi indeed knows about 8957, but she seems to be rather indifferent to 8957

Du Zifeng politely nodded to Andrew, who responded with a gentlemanly nod and a smile towards Du Zifeng, which further fostered a sense of familiarity for Du Zifeng towards this blonde young man. However, the two were soon assigned to their respective seats, each donning the metallic helmet that Du Zifeng had seen that day.

The "sick uniforms" worn by Du Zifeng and the others all have their own unique codes. Naturally, Du Zifeng's code is 9527, and the person now lying on that metal recliner, although Du Zifeng cannot see his face, can clearly make out the code on his uniform—8957

Du Zifeng's eyes were fixed on the person lying on the lounge chair, and his gaze was surprisingly filled with concern, as if he had already regarded 8957 as his own friend in his heart

The staff in the laboratory were still busy, and after about four or five minutes, Du Zifeng finally saw that 8957 had calmed down, indicating that the issue had likely been resolved

A week has passed, and Du Zifeng has already become accustomed to life in this underground research headquarters. According to Heidi, the formal experiments are about to begin. Du Zifeng suddenly realized that not only did he not feel afraid, but instead, there was a trace of excitement in his heart.

Later, Andrew underwent a significant change in temperament. By chance, he learned about the research experiments being conducted by the Jinsen Group and volunteered to become a test subject, meaning he willingly became a guinea pig in the experiment. It is said that his goal was to become the most powerful being. Heidi's perspective on this matter is that Andrew's strong sense of self-esteem is at play.

Uh, Hai... Hai Di?" Completely awake, Du Zifeng looked at the girl in front of him, who had her eyes half-closed and wore a strange smile, and couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

"Why are you so interested in him?" Heidi looked at Du Zifeng's eager expression and couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled, as she thought that the boy was in a completely different situation from Du Zifeng.

Following two staff members, Du Zifeng once again stepped onto the hoverboard, and unexpectedly arrived at the laboratory where he first met Andrew. As soon as Du Zifeng entered the spacious laboratory, he happened to see the tall figure, which was none other than the blonde young man, Andrew. It seemed that Du Zifeng was also undergoing an experiment today that coincided with Andrew's, which further fueled his desire to befriend Andrew.

This 8957 appears to be of a similar age to Du Zifeng, yet he has golden hair and is half a head taller than Du Zifeng. In terms of both physique and appearance, he surpasses Du Zifeng by a considerable margin. Such a young man, if placed in public, would undoubtedly attract the attention of many girls.

After expressing his astonishment, Du Zifeng learned from Heidi that in one week, he would officially begin the experiment, with the first experiment involving the forcible removal of all undeveloped parts of his brain. However, this was merely the official statement, as the actual conduct of the experiment and its outcomes would only be confirmed by Heidi.

After briefly explaining the subsequent plans to Du Zifeng, Heidi once again vanished from his room. Du Zifeng was filled with complaints about Heidi's sudden appearances and disappearances, yet he did not dare to voice them loudly, for he knew that even when Heidi was not by his side, as long as he was within any corner of this research headquarters, his every move was being observed by this artificial beauty.

However, this left Du Zifeng puzzled as to why such an apparently outstanding young man would become a subject of research for the Jin Sen Group. Could it be that this young man, like himself, is one of the few remaining "dimwits" in this world

Clearly, this person's identity is the same as Du Zifeng's, but Du Zifeng is unaware of which experiment he is undergoing. Du Zifeng can only see that 8957 is currently convulsing all over, appearing to be in great pain, and his hands are tightly clenched into fists. At this moment, the staff in the laboratory are like ants on a hot pan, hurriedly performing various instrument operations.

"So, according to you, he has truly lost all his memories and has completely become a lab rat for experiments?" Du Zifeng suddenly realized that he was actually quite fortunate; at least up until now, since meeting Heidi, he had not encountered any bad situations, and he was still the same Du Zifeng, with no changes whatsoever

"Alas, to put it this way, he is indeed quite pitiable." After listening to Heidi's account, Du Zifeng recalled that Andrew had resorted to such extreme measures, ultimately just wanting to change his tragic circumstances, and a strong sense of sympathy suddenly welled up within him

It is evident that an accident occurred during the experiment, and the situation of 8957 now appears to be quite dangerous. Watching the person struggling on the metal recliner, Du Zifeng suddenly felt a strange sensation in his heart, as if the person lying there was himself, which evoked a sense of shared suffering in Du Zifeng.
