No strange things are allowed to evolve!

Originally, Jiang Shu only needed to possess the body of some unlucky person, mingle among these corpses, and be sent to the next level by the corpse collectors.

But now we have to go through an extra promotional process.

First, people need to discover the unique aspects of what you've fabricated.

"I'll think of something," Saeko sighed.

Jiang Shu was slightly surprised by this: "Didn't you say you didn't want to get involved?"

According to the original plan, after Saeko hid him here, everything that followed would be completely unrelated to her, and she would have no further contact with Jiang Shu.

Even if Jiang Shu failed to escape, it could be said that Jiang Shu himself escaped here and hid.

However, if she were to help Jiang Shu build momentum, she would definitely become an unavoidable figure in the incident, which would greatly increase the risks for her.

“What can we do?” Saeko said helplessly. “The bodies in this entire morgue have been destroyed. I can’t even imagine how serious the consequences will be. This is the only way to have a chance of survival.”

"That's true," Jiang Shu said sympathetically. "It's because we weren't careful enough. If you had reminded me beforehand, this wouldn't have happened."

"So whose problem is this anyway?!"

"Haha." Jiang Shu scratched his head. Although he was trying to shirk responsibility, he was still somewhat embarrassed.

Having finalized the terms, Saeko changed the subject and asked, "You really don't remember your previous life?"

Jiang Shu was stunned.

A life before this world...

That's not a matter of not remembering anymore.

He had absolutely no idea.

"Ah."

Saeko stared at Jiang Shu's face for a long time, but couldn't find any trace of lying.

She hesitated for a moment before saying, "Then, I have a request."

"What?" Jiang Shu asked.

“If you manage to leave here safely, promise me you’ll live under an assumed name and forget everything—your past life, your days in the lab—forget everything completely,” Saeko said with a complicated expression.

Of course.

Jiang Shu really wanted to say that.

He wanted to find out his resume so that he could leave the lab smoothly and complete the main objective.

So if I can leave smoothly, those things are naturally irrelevant.

Anyway, it wasn't his life to begin with.

But Jiang Shu still asked, "Why?"

"Because your resume is highly confidential, I think you must be very important to the research center, and your special abilities must be terrifying."

Saeko frowned slightly:

“I don’t know if it was right or wrong for me to help you escape, but I do know that if you find your past life, you are very likely to lose control again, leading to a tragedy like the one that happened in Tanabe again.”

"You mean the entire town was razed to the ground?" Jiang Shu asked. "Are you worried that I'll destroy this underground laboratory?"

Jiang Shu thought that Saeko wanted to maintain and protect the laboratory, but to his great surprise, Saeko shook her head.

"That doesn't matter. This facility is inherently unjust. If you really destroy it, it might not be a bad thing. I'm just worried that you might hurt innocent people."

Jiang Shu was surprised by this answer.

"Why do you say that? Aren't you also a member of the lab?"

“I work here, but that doesn’t mean I identify with this place. It’s just something I’m forced to do because of life.”

Saeko explained:

"Many people here, like me, were lured here because of their talent and knowledge in biotechnology, and then forced to sign a series of agreements. If they did not agree, they would not only be unable to find a job, but they might even lose their citizenship and nationality."

In fact, I personally do not agree with this research direction of using people for experiments, not to mention that the research results will eventually be used in war.

For every researcher, research results are like a child we painstakingly nurtured. But what parent in the world would willingly see their child become an executioner with blood on their hands?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shu was slightly moved.

From this perspective, even if the woman in front of us has a high level of education and cutting-edge knowledge, and is an elite talent who is rare in any place, how is she any different from those farmers who work hard all year but can't even keep enough food to feed themselves?

Ultimately, they are all just exploited people who have no freedom and are helpless.

The only difference is that one is exploiting labor, while the other is exploiting knowledge.

"And if you lose control, you may not only harm innocent people, but the military will also send other super soldiers with special abilities to eliminate evidence and punish you. The disaster may turn into a war, which will create more sins."

Saeko continued:

"I really don't want to see, and I can't imagine, such a scene."

Indeed, Saeko's idea was good; she is essentially a kind person.

But in Jiang Shu's view, this was ultimately just Saeko making endless compromises without any bottom line, and more about avoiding trouble if she couldn't afford to offend her, ignoring the real culprit behind the problem.

Therefore, Jiang Shu felt it necessary to correct this erroneous idea to prevent her from going further down the path of naivety, and even potentially becoming a war criminal who aids and abets evil.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shu sighed deeply: "Have you ever heard the story of August 15, 1945?"

"What is that?" Saeko asked curiously.

Jiang Shu didn't know whether it was because the histories of the two worlds were different, or because the textbooks of Yamato had been put to use again, but he was certain that Saeko didn't know this story.

So, Jiang Shu focused on the key points and gave Saeko an objective and detailed account of the East Asian events of the second season.

After a period of time.

"Damn it...they actually concealed this history from the entire nation." Saeko gradually began to awaken, realizing who the real enemy was: "Damn imperialism and militarism! And now they want to make a comeback?!"

"This young man is teachable." Jiang Shu stroked his non-existent beard with satisfaction.

“So I’ve been exploited all along. What I thought was concessions have actually made me a member of this huge executioner team?!” Saeko refused to accept this.

"That's right!"

"I am not a PhD in biology from Dongxing University, nor a senior researcher at Shenwei Research Institute, but rather..."

Saeko's eyes shone with a light she had never seen before in her long period of confusion and emptiness, when she didn't know what the purpose of learning so much or working was.

"Fighter of the Empty Proletariat!"

"Excellent, excellent, excellent!" Jiang Shu exclaimed repeatedly, "Very excellent!"

Thus, in this high-pressure underground research laboratory, the first advanced soul was born!

And Saeko, without realizing it, completed a magnificent transformation from a little girl who initially just wanted to live a life of ease and indifference to everything that happened before her eyes that she instinctively realized was wrong, comforting herself that there was nothing she could do about it, to a strong female protagonist who believed that everyone had a responsibility for the rise and fall of the nation.

Therefore, escorting Jiang Shu was not simply a matter of taking him to the next floor and then leaving the rest of the matter to her.

In her view, this was exactly like escorting a special envoy, escorting the spark of civilization.

Its significance is no less than taking Jesus off the cross.

So, at that moment, she became incredibly serious.

"Please wait patiently. I will get everything done as soon as possible and successfully send you out. At the same time, I will stay and try my best to find out what happened in your past life."

Saeko clenched her fists, her expression menacing, and said:

"Not only that, but I will also secretly collect information on all people with special abilities. This is evidence of the crimes committed by these military imperialists and their lackeys. I will dig them all out without leaving a single trace!"

“You need to be careful.” Jiang Shu patted Saeko’s shoulder: “This is dangerous. Once exposed, even if you are a fellow countryman, they will not show you any mercy.”

“I know.” Saeko nodded knowingly. “I won’t be foolish enough to act alone. I will fully mobilize those who share the same ideas as me and have the potential to become our comrades, to unite together and create a clean world where we Yamato people can be the masters of our own destiny.”

“I will tell them the stories you told me, exactly as they were.”

"By then, everyone will know your name!"

......

"Huh...huh..."

Melatonin was panting heavily.

He felt that this strategy was particularly difficult.

He acquired many different abilities at the spawn point.

Whether it's a skill-based approach or the kind that relies on sheer force and flying bricks, all you need to do is watch out for the professional soldiers' encirclement and interception.

Logically speaking, those researchers should all be a bunch of cowards who are afraid of death. After hearing the news that a test subject had escaped, they should have been hiding in their offices and too afraid to come out.

But for some reason, this time was different.

At first, things went smoothly. Relying on his overwhelming strength, he managed to defeat a small team that came to hunt him down, allowing him to successfully obtain his initial funds—a set of equipment.

Furthermore, since he experiences no side effects when using his abilities, while others need to carefully consider when to use them, he can keep them active indefinitely, as they are a constant feature.

With the same equipment as professional soldiers, coupled with his Captain America-like strength and the added fuel of national and personal vendettas, he made it easy for him to beat these so-called elites, and quickly pushed his way to the core area of ​​the third underground level.

Even in such open areas, he could rely on his formidable individual combat skills to suppress an entire army, allowing him to rampage through the crowd with unbridled might.

However, after defeating all the professional soldiers, just when he thought he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, enter the next level, unlock his next ability, and then start facing the occasional special ability users to continue his rampage, unexpected enemies appeared again.

A group of researchers appeared, carrying strange tools and weapons that he had never seen or encountered before.

These creatures, which were previously just used to showcase graphics in games but were actually useless and no different from flowers and plants, charged towards him with their weapons and a death-defying fighting spirit, shouting "Banzai!"

As a result, those researchers in white coats who posed no threat in the past now put him under more pressure than professional soldiers.

Compared to the professional soldiers he had dealt with many times and who were familiar with various formulaic tactics, these enemies' attacks were completely illogical, making them impossible for him to predict.

The occasional sneak attacks from behind, and even the sudden self-destruction that seemed to have resolved the situation, made melatonin suffer greatly and sweat profusely.

Worse still, there are far more researchers than professional soldiers.

The bullets for melatonin have run out, the knives have become dull, but the number of people still hasn't decreased much.

In melatonin's eyes, this laboratory was no longer a laboratory, but a hive of insects that could endlessly produce soldiers!

"What exactly is going on?"

"This shouldn't be happening!!"

Chapter 263 Advantages and Disadvantages

"This guy looks like he's under a lot of pressure."

Blueberry Sauce, who was watching the battle, couldn't help but worry for melatonin as it struggled to cope with the researchers' suicidal attacks.

"The legend of 1v100 in the core area, is it possible?"

But Blueberry Dipping Sauce soon noticed that he seemed to be the only one anxious about the melatonin crisis; no one around him was giving any feedback or responding to him.

This made the blueberry dip a little awkward.

They've probably seen this kind of scene too many times, watching games live... he thought to himself.

Blueberry with sauce felt like this was a live stream, and he was the new viewer who had just entered the live stream room, while the others were all old viewers who had seen more famous moments and better program effects, so they wouldn't get excited about a small scene like he did.

I was really like a country bumpkin visiting a plantation, mistaking cattle and horses for spirits.

However, the blueberry dip soon discovered that things weren't quite as they had thought.

Everyone seemed more shocked than I was.

I didn't speak just now simply because I was stunned and temporarily lost my ability to speak.

However, what shocked everyone and what surprised him were not the same thing.

I found the various extreme operations involving melatonin very attractive, and I wish I could switch places with melatonin right now and do them myself.

Even if he had the opportunity, he wouldn't have done it, because he knew that some things are much more interesting to watch others do than to do them himself, such as washing mats and cleaning dust or playing some complicated games.

What surprised others was not melatonin itself, but the situation he was facing at that moment.

People don't seem to understand why such a thing could happen.

"Shouldn't researchers be non-aggressive?"

"And how can the intensity be so high?"

"If you had reacted any slower and hadn't dodged that self-destruction, you would have been killed instantly, right?"
