Collapse Iron: I just transmigrated! You want me to save the Black Tower?!

"...Where is Ruan Mei?"

Watching Movies (84) - Sliced ​​Plum

Hu Yuanjun's brow twitched, a sense of foreboding creeping over him.

...Is there a second level?

[Fireworks: Hmm? Ruan Mei? Who? Oh, I remember now, isn't she the crazy scientist who fed insects with dragon eggs and almost dragged the world into an insect plague?]

[Kouyuan-kun: ...Something seems off.]

[March 7th: It's alright, it's alright. Fang Hu ran away, and his remains were taken away. What could Ruan Mei possibly do!]

[Walter: That's true, but it's not like him. As a genius of the Genius Club, Jiang Jiu has planned every step so precisely. How could he have forgotten Ruan Mei?]

[Dan Heng: ...Perhaps his behavior was too normal, causing everyone to forget that the premise of all his identities is that of a self-destructor?]

[Fireworks: Oh no, I really forgot.]

However, just because Jiang Jiu forgot doesn't mean Black Tower forgot too.

“Ruan Mei?” Hei Ta stroked Jiang Jiu’s hair and said softly, “I’ve taken care of it. Screw Gum and I locked her in her lab, thinking we’d leave her there for you to deal with.”

"Don't worry, it's okay. I'll take you to see a doctor."

Jiang Jiu thought for a moment and nodded.

"Okay, my main concern is..."

[Star: Yes! Arrange the troops! Lady Black Tower is unparalleled!!!]

March 7th: Add one!!!

[Robin: It's no wonder Jiang Jiu is wary, after all, in the previous storyline... Ruan Mei almost created a whole new path for herself...]

[Fireworks: Isn't that right? The Star God is already quite a headache, and Ruan Mei, this genius who doesn't seem to care about anything, just has that kind of ability. How could she not be a cause for concern?]

[Star: Old Ri, say something!]

[Sunday: What to say?]

[Star: Even if a person is stupid, can't they create a star god?]

[Sunday: Even if someone is stupid... huh?]

[Topa: After watching for so long, I suddenly feel that the conscience of a genius is still so important...]

If we didn't have a conscience, this world would probably have been destroyed many times over.

[Placer Gold: Agree. 】

In the video, the two made some preparations, and then Hei Ta led Jiang Jiu to Ruan Mei's laboratory.

Nguyen Mai's residence is more like a large biological petri dish than a traditional laboratory.

In every sense of the word... there were many random and haphazard experimental subjects.

Nguyen Mai was imprisoned in a small laboratory, simply furnished with neatly arranged instruments, but it was sealed off from the outside.

With both Screw and Black Tower involved, Ruan Mei will not and cannot leave without being alerted, or at least cannot leave without alerting her and Screw Gum. Black Tower can guarantee that.

Pushing open the door, Ruan Mei leaned back on the sofa, fiddling with something in her hands. Hearing the noise, she looked up, her gaze falling on Jiang Jiu before shifting to Hei Ta.

"I'm here," she said, her voice perfectly calm, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

Hei Ta walked in and leaned against the lab bench: "We've brought the person, um...you two talk?"

Ruan Mei nodded, then looked at Jiang Jiu.

"Lord Shi Jin," she said, glancing at him. "Sit?"

Jiang Jiu did not move.

Ruan Mei waited for two seconds, and seeing that he showed no intention of sitting down, she didn't mind.

"What do you want to do with me?" she asked directly.

Jiang Jiu paused for a second, then asked in return, "How do you think you should be treated?"

Ruan Mei thought for a moment and then seriously analyzed for him: "Theoretically, I am interested in breeding and was almost dragged to help by the Immortal Boat, so I should be considered to be on the opposite side of you. Logically speaking, you should kill me."

Jiang Jiu remained silent.

Nguyen Mai continued, "But you didn't kill me. The Black Tower just locked me up here instead of taking direct action, which means you're still hesitating."

[Fireworks: Wow~ Such a calm tone, is this a trial or an academic conference? Ms. Nguyen Mai, do you know you're a prisoner now?]

Silver Wolf: Of course she knows, but she doesn't care, or rather, the things she cares about are different from what normal people do.

[Yu Qingtu: She's always been like this. She takes a more detached view of life and death than most people, but she's terrifyingly persistent in her attachment to "life" itself. That's just her personality.]

[Screw Gum: Strictly speaking, Ms. Nguyen Mai was not indifferent to life and death; perhaps her rationality told her that in the current situation, resistance or begging for mercy would be futile, so it was better to directly inquire about the outcome.]

[March 7th: Uh... is this the mindset of a genius? How terrifying...]

[Star: I think it's pretty cool. If I were on trial, I'd definitely cry and scream for help.]

[March 7th: Can't you be a little more dignified?!]

[Topa: Nguyen Mai...is this a gamble? A gamble that Jiang Jiu won't kill her?]

[Gold Sand: No, there was no element of gambling in her tone. It was more like... she was genuinely and calmly awaiting a verdict?]

[Jade: Interesting. Someone who has studied the essence of life to the extreme is so casual about their own life. Is this transcendence or arrogance?]

[Cang Gang: Who cares who she is? This kind of person is the most dangerous! She's interested in breeding and almost caused a second insect plague. Keeping her around is just asking for trouble!]

Opal: But she's locked up now, has no resources, and probably can't cause any trouble. Besides, Lady Black Tower and Screw Goom are watching her.

[Shu Ju: The key is what Jiang Jiu thinks. If he wants to kill, no one can stop him; if he wants to keep him alive, no one dares to touch him.]

"so?"

“So I’m waiting for your decision,” Nguyen Mai said, seemingly unconcerned about Jiang Jiu’s thoughts. Her calm tone made Jiang Jiu wonder who was really the one who was going to commit suicide. “When you’ve thought it through, will you kill me, release me, or keep me locked up?”

She paused, then added, "By the way, the conditions here are alright. The Black Tower gave me some basic materials, enough for me to do some small experiments. I wouldn't mind if I were kept locked up longer."

"..."

[March 7th: Wait... how come she's not scared at all? Shouldn't a normal person tremble in fear in front of the Great Lord of Annihilation?]

[Star: Perhaps, this is what they call the quirks of geniuses?]

[Topa: I've seen negotiators, I've seen people beg for mercy, I've seen people stand firm, but I've never seen anything like this... too calm? Although I know that's just Nguyen Mai's personality.]

[Gold Sand: Does she really not care about her own life or death? Or does she still have a trump card up her sleeve?]

[Cang Gang: Calmness is a good thing, but calmness to this extent is chilling...]

[Jade: I'm more inclined to believe that it's very difficult to guess how many tricks a genius has up their sleeve.]

[Fu Xuan: I suddenly feel that Ruan Mei's attitude is even more suffocating than the Immortal Boat's indecisiveness.]

[Qingque: I'm getting goosebumps... Isn't she afraid of dying?]

In the video, Nguyen Mai appeared calm, Jiang Jiu was somewhat suspicious, while Black Tower was almost completely uninvolved.

Seemingly realizing that Jiang Jiu did not trust her, Ruan Mei took the initiative to speak.

"You're worried I'll use breeding to cause trouble, right?"

Jiang Jiu did not deny it.

Nguyen May nodded: “I understand, so I can promise not to touch any research related to breeding, at least not until you give me permission.”

“I don’t believe it.” Jiang Jiu shook his head. “Your words have no credibility with me. As far as I know, you once briefly resurrected a breeding queen insect, but that was without obtaining the breeding remains.”

“I find it hard to imagine that you would give up this opportunity.”

Nguyen Mai paused briefly, then smiled.

“Lord Shi Jin,” she looked into Jiang Jiu’s eyes and asked curiously, “I am at least a member of the Genius Club. A genius’s promise is at least a little more credible than an ordinary person’s, isn’t it?”

Jiang Jiu did not laugh.

After a long while, Jiang Jiu spoke up: "How long have you known Black Tower?"

Nguyen Mai paused for a moment, seemingly not expecting him to ask that.

No one else expected Jiang Jiu to suddenly ask such an unrelated question.

[March 7th: Huh? Why are you suddenly asking this? Weren't we discussing Nguyen Mai's fate? How did the topic suddenly shift to Ms. Black Tower?]

[Xing: I get it, this is a change of topic! Jiang Jiu doesn't want to kill Ruan Mei, but he also doesn't want to seem like he's letting her off too easily, so he's deliberately changing the subject! Brilliant!]

[March 7th: Clever my foot! This topic change was so abrupt! Even I could see it!]

[Dan Heng: ...No, perhaps it wasn't a diversionary tactic. Jiang Jiu's question likely has a ulterior motive.]

[Qingque: I'm more concerned about whether Ruan Mei will live or die.]

[Su Chang: What if it's both dead and alive?]

In the video, after receiving a vague answer, Jiang Jiu asked several small, everyday questions, which Ruan Mei answered one by one, her attitude calm and without any flaws.

The conversation was so casual that the atmosphere felt more like a chat than an interrogation.

“One last question,” Jiang Jiu asked, “what do you think you are?”

Nguyen Mai was taken aback.

"What do you mean?"

“Literally,” Jiang Jiu looked into Ruan Mei’s eyes and asked, word by word, “What do you see yourself as? A person? A genius? A researcher? Or a…”

He paused.

"...a slice?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the atmosphere both inside and outside the video froze for a moment.
