Genshin Impact: This fireplace house is your graveyard.

Experimental Subject Chapter 159

Hearing what Akikawa said, Kirie also asked, "Well, this opportunity isn't easy to come by, since it's only when there's something important..."

"Kujavina usually doesn't leave the Hearth House for too long," Qiuhe said after hearing this. "Don't worry about that, in a few days..."

"She doesn't want to leave, but everyone has to," everyone was puzzled, but then Qiuhe suddenly turned and left the room, and no one knew what she was going to do.

Shortly afterward, a crystal mirror resembling a portal suddenly appeared in the room where everyone was, and everyone immediately became alert upon seeing this.

Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, a lady hidden in the mirror slowly emerged from the reflection. Seeing this, everyone remained vigilant.

But then everyone saw a purplish-black energy begin to gather outward from the body of the Hidden Mirror Lady, which then formed Qiuhe's body.

Everyone looked bewildered at this scene, while Qiuhe sat up on the bed and said, "Let's halt all operations for the next few days."

But people should also go out more often. If everyone goes out frequently and then suddenly stays home all the time, it's easy to attract attention. Having said that...

Qiuhe then controlled his consciousness to merge back into the body of the Hidden Mirror Lady, "Also, if anything unusual happens in the next few days, just pinch my body."

"When I sense something is wrong with my body, I switch my consciousness back to my physical body," Clementine then asked, "Lei, where are you going?"

Upon hearing this, Qiuhe responded, "I'll go, let's do something big." With that, Qiuhe controlled the Hidden Mirror Maiden to use the water mirror to teleport away from the place.

[Winter in the Country, Doctoral Laboratory]

"Knock knock knock," at this moment, the doctor was recording the catalog of live experiments in the laboratory, and on the experimental table in front of him...

A child lay there with his skull cut open, when a knock came at the door. "Come in," the debt collector said, entering the room upon hearing the doctor's permission.

"Doctor, the backup test subject number 62, whom you instructed me to observe recently, died completely by noon today."

The doctor listened to all this, but only kept taking notes. "Is that so? So this is the result after so many days. That's a real pity."

After confirming that it was true, the debtor then added, "However, backup experimental subject number 89 has recently undergone a significant change."

During these past few days of travel, I noticed that the child's pupils were gradually undergoing strange changes, and my subordinates personally witnessed the child using elemental power with extremely low but very noticeable energy.

"And the child's face has grown snake scales," the doctor said, his rapidly moving pen stopping as a smile slowly crept across his lips. "The fruits are already ripe."

"Then go pick them," the debt collector said hesitantly, "But, Doctor, number 89..."

Is it Zhi Dong? It's probably difficult to get a child from a wealthy family, and even if you did manage to get one, wouldn't it have some negative consequences?

Upon hearing this, the doctor smiled knowingly and said, "Oh? Indeed, doing this would have a negative impact. Since you've considered so much..."

"Why don't you take that child's place and lie on the lab table?" Upon hearing this, the debt collector instantly broke out in a cold sweat, his hair standing on end.

"Ah, no, no, I understand, I'll take care of it right away," the debt collector said, and quickly fled the doctor's laboratory.

The doctor looked at the catalog in his hand, the unidentified liquid in the test tube beside him, and a bottle of glowing, churning unidentified energy.

"This result truly delights me," the doctor muttered to himself, a dangerous smile playing on his lips.

The debt collector, after running out of the lab, was also panting heavily outside, still feeling relieved to have survived such a close call.

Suddenly, a slender arm wearing a blue long glove reached out from behind the debt collector and gently patted the debt collector's shoulder.

"Ahhh, I'm so sorry, Doctor! I...I'll take care of it right away, I'll bring the child back immediately!" Just as the debt collector...

Startled by the sudden movement, he nearly lost his mind before realizing that a woman with a hidden mirror had appeared behind him.

The debt collector, realizing it was a false alarm, was also panting heavily, "Oh my god, Xuexue, I just escaped from the jaws of death from the Doctor!"

"Can you stop scaring me like that? What if I get scared and lose my erection? How am I supposed to use you then...right? Haha," looking at the debt collector's frivolous and nonsensical manner.

The lady in front of him, who was dressed in a mirror, tapped the debt collector on the head in an annoyed tone, "Stop talking nonsense and get to the point."

"What did your doctor say?" the debt collector asked with a grin. "Heh heh, what smooth talk!"

"I'm just stating the facts, isn't that what you usually like?" Seeing that the debt collector still had that irresponsible look on his face, the woman in the mirror slowly raised her hand.

Seeing this, the debt collector panicked, covering his face and crying, "Hey, hey, don't hit me! Don't hit me! I was just kidding!"

Seeing this, the woman with the hidden mirror struck the debt collector's head hard again, and only then did the debt collector speak, saying, "The Doctor said..."

Bringing Number 89 back is a tough task. In winter, even when we capture ordinary children, we have to do it secretly so no one finds out.

A while ago, a guy was caught stealing a child by the villagers and ended up being hanged. The matter eventually escalated.

The protesters reached the executive officer. The Doctor was eventually reprimanded, and in a fit of rage, he wiped out the man's entire family...

Sigh, this time it's really bad. The 89th child chosen for the professor's experiment just happens to be from a wealthy family. It's so hard to even catch an ordinary kid!

"You want me to kidnap the rich kid? It's not that simple. If this mission goes wrong, not only will I be in trouble."

The debtor stopped speaking after that point, his face now filled with worry. At that moment, the woman with the hidden mirror embraced his head.

She gently pressed his face against her lower abdomen, her hand also stroking the debt collector's head back and forth. "A grown man always wears his worries on his face."

But it's easy to be looked down upon. Don't worry about those things. My servant sent me here to assist your Doctor, and I naturally have a way to handle it."

Meanwhile, inside a villa in Zhidong, a man who appeared to be a doctor was conversing with a man who seemed to be very wealthy: "Sir, I've been examining your child for so long..."

But no matter what examinations you conduct, your child's body shows no abnormalities, except for the strange changes in his eyes and the snake scales on his face.

Apart from that, I haven't found any other symptoms that could harm your child.

"Forgive my lack of expertise, but I'm afraid I cannot cure your child's illness," the man said, hearing the doctor's words.

Both he and the woman beside him were extremely dejected. Meanwhile, in a room inside the villa, a child, who appeared to be only five or six years old, was sitting on the floor.

The child held a ball of flame in his hands, and one of his eyes was very unusual—it was red with a diamond-shaped pupil like a snake's. His face was also covered in snake scales.

The child stared intently at the ball of flame in his hand, expressionless, when suddenly a water mirror portal appeared before him.

Inside the portal, a graceful lady emerged slowly, her movements elegant. Looking at the suddenly appearing lady...

The child was also drawn to her, staring blankly at the woman with the hidden mirror before him, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

The woman in the mirror slowly approached the boy and knelt down. "Little boy, what are you doing here?"

Hearing the gentle voice of the woman before him, the boy remained silent for a few seconds before replying, "I'm looking at this flame."

My parents told me not to go out, my friends disliked me and wouldn't play with me, and other children treated me like a monster, saying I was ugly and were afraid to come near me.

After hearing this, the lady in the hidden mirror raised her hand and gently touched the boy's head. "Little friend, you're not ugly at all. Every child is born with something special."

Perhaps some of these special circumstances will be troubling for the children, but that's okay, because I can help you," he said, looking at the woman with such a gentle smile.

The boy asked, "Big sister, who are you? You said you could help me, is that true?" The woman in the hidden mirror smiled and replied:

"Your older sister is your guardian angel, a little fairy from heaven, who came especially to help you."
