After being fed to top-tier orcs, I became the darling of the entire intergalactic world.

Chapter 626 The Rat's Lifelong Nemesis!

Unable to comprehend the madman's thoughts, Liang He sighed softly at the existence of Number Three.

If it was truly because of her and Liang Jia that Number Three was 'born,' then she should personally rectify all these mistakes.

Liang He apologized to Number Three in his heart with deep regret, then rallied his spirits, determined to eradicate the rebel army, this scourge of the interstellar world, before dawn arrived!

"Little gerbil, can you do me another favor?"

"Okay, okay~ I really enjoy helping out~"

The little gerbil was excited for the first time because it felt that digging its burrows was so useful, until it saw its natural enemy through the orchid, and the whole gerbil was in a bad mood.

"Ahhh! Help!"

"Human! Why didn't you tell the mouse that you were looking for a snake?!"

"Death has come! The mouse is dead!"

"Waaaaah! Mice don't taste good, please let me go!"

"..."

Elius looked at the little gerbil lying at the ventilation duct entrance, pretending to be dead, and approached it expressionlessly, his silence utterly speechless.

Why did he feel that this little gerbil was being a bit too dramatic?

"Stop playing dead, or I'll eat you up."

Although Elius had no appetite for the little gerbil, it didn't stop him from using it as leverage to get the little gerbil to do something productive.

"Waaaah... No, don't eat the hamster!"

The little gerbil jumped up and started crying pitifully, which made Elius impatiently wring his tail.

Elius is not a spirit deer, and unlike Lianghe, he cannot communicate with animals without barriers.

But the fact that the little gerbil found him means that Liang He instructed him to do so, and that she must have something to tell him.

"What does the person who sent you want me to do?"

Fortunately, although Elius couldn't understand what the little gerbil was squeaking, the little gerbil could understand him and immediately obediently led the way in the ventilation duct.

Fearing that Elius wouldn't understand, the trembling little gerbil would occasionally glance back at him, indicating that it was following.

"understood."

After Elius understood the little gerbil's intention, he immediately gave Lan Zhuo a few words of advice.

"Okay, please be safe."

Upon hearing that Liang He had sent Elius to handle the matter, Lan Zhuo did not hesitate and told him to rest assured that he could handle it.

Lan Zhuo will not be in immediate danger until Drovell successfully captures Liang He or discovers his feigned cooperation. This is also why Liang He temporarily transferred Elius away.

Of course, Liang He also considered Lan Zhuo's safety and specially asked the little lizard to guard Lan Zhuo's vicinity so that she could take immediate action if anything happened.

"Hopefully, Xiao Hei can figure out the situation of Number Three."

Leaning against the edge of the bed, Liang He's brows furrowed slightly, showing some worry.

She didn't let the gerbils pass notes like the lizards.

The main reason is that this investigation was a last-minute decision, without special tools, which could easily lead to information leaks.

After all, none of them knew of Number Three's existence before this.

The reason Liang He didn't go herself was because the place was heavily guarded, and only small animals like gerbils could avoid being discovered.

However, the little gerbil's abilities are limited, so it's safer to let Elius investigate.

"hiss~"

About an hour later, Liang He was in the room when she suddenly heard a hissing sound. Liang He, who was extremely familiar with Elius's small black snake form, immediately realized that Elius had arrived.

She followed the sound to the bathroom and successfully met up with Elius in the ventilation duct above.

"Xiao Hei, are you okay?"

The first thing Liang He asked upon meeting him was how Elius was, which touched and warmed his heart.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

Seeing that Liang He spoke directly, Elius knew that she was safe here, so he immediately told her what he had found out.

"I saw test subject number three."

When Elius saw Number Three, he understood why Liang He had insisted on sending him to investigate. Animals like gerbils and lizards alone wouldn't be very effective.

You'd never guess who he is.

"???"

Elius's words made Liang He frown in confusion.

Could it be someone she knew?

"Do you remember the law enforcement officers who were sent to track the rebels back in the protected area?"

Law enforcement officer?
Reminded by Elius, Liang He instantly recalled that in order to capture the traitor Das and find the rebels' stronghold on Tianyao Star, he had sent an enforcement officer to track the rebels.

Later, the law enforcement officer was arrested and even used as bait, which led Huo An to transform into a Kunpeng in order to protect everyone, thus exposing his identity as an SSS-level orc.

At the time, Elius was helping the rebels and disrupting the protected area, but he later turned over a new leaf and reformed.

"You mean... Number Three is the law enforcement officer who went missing back then?"

Liang He's heart sank immediately, and her voice became hoarse.

A law enforcement officer was arrested during a mission, not only suffered torture, but was also... used as an experimental subject for illegal research.

Liang He clenched her fists tightly, suppressing her anger and trying to calm herself down as quickly as possible.

Time was of the essence, and she couldn't afford to let her anger cloud her judgment here.

"continue."

Seeing Liang He quickly regain her composure, a hint of heartache flashed in Elius's deep eyes.

He didn't say anything more, but gently stroked Liang He with his tail to comfort him.

“Number Three is different from you. He has to be locked in the experimental chamber and has never been released.”

When Elius said "you," he was naturally referring to Liang He and Liang Jia.

As Number One and Number Two, they were not confined to the experimental pod and could live like ordinary people, but Number Three was different.

"Must they be confined in the experimental chamber?"

The experimental chamber is essentially a machine isolated from the outside world. In the beginning, Liang He and Liang Jia were both born in the experimental chamber.

But once they develop self-awareness, Wu Shi will remove them from the experimental chamber and gradually help them adapt to human life, completing his daily training plan.

"I had never heard of having to be locked in an experimental chamber before."

If it remains locked in the experimental chamber, what is the point of Wuya Research No. 3?
"Wait, do we really have to lock him up?"

Liang He seemed to have grasped the key word, and a flash of inspiration struck her.

Why lock him up?

Is number three still out of control?
No, that's not right.

If it were uncontrollable, Wuya wouldn't have named it Number Three, because Number Three represents a successful experimental subject.

For Wushi, being uncontrollable meant failure.

"Since they are successful experimental subjects, the fact that they are still locked up means there must be a reason why they cannot be released."

The fact that Droville would use Number Three, their secret weapon, against her shows that they have considerable confidence in Number Three's capabilities.

However, if it's a humanoid weapon like Liang He, there's absolutely no need to keep it locked all the time.

Given Droville's personality, he would definitely try his best to train Number Three into his confidant, who would be more capable and easier to control than Nick and the others.

"What exactly is the reason?"

Liang He muttered to herself, and Elius joined in the analysis.

"Could it be an indiscriminate attack, which is why it has to be locked up?"

Assuming Number Three doesn't distinguish between friend and foe, it's quite normal for Drowell to keep a close watch on him, right?

"It's not impossible."

Liang He didn't immediately dismiss Elius's conjecture, but she always felt that things weren't that simple.

Indiscriminately distinguishing between friend and foe, it's no different from the ferocious beasts that Wu Shi initially studied.

But he can even study ordinary animals into Class A ferocious beasts and endow them with intelligence. There's no reason why he would turn a human who originally possessed intelligence into an idiot who couldn't distinguish friend from foe.

"I understand! Number Three wasn't forcibly locked up; rather, once he leaves the experimental chamber, he will be passively subjected to serious casualties!"
