Chapter 263: The Research Institute in the Blood Moon Forest

So Crocodile Lan was thrown into prison. He was dumbfounded, not knowing why his older brother had suddenly appeared there. He had clearly calculated the time and knew that his older brother would have only just arrived home and would not have come to his place. But... wait! Could it be that the giant rats had discovered what he had done and told his older brother, which was why he was so angry? Crocodile Lan gritted his teeth. These people were meddling in other people’s business!

...

But Lin Yun was completely unaware of all this. She had already finished her delicious meal and was ready to lie down and relax.

Night fell.

Thump! Crash!

Bai Yu suddenly shuddered. Oh no! She had accidentally smashed the window of Lin Yun’s house!

Tuan Tuan ran downstairs and took a look, exchanging a glance with Bai Yu through the broken window.

Tuan Tuan: "...You’re such a grown-up. How could you cause such trouble?"

Bai Yu: "..."

Tuan Tuan ran upstairs again and called Lin Yun to come.

Lin Yun yawned and picked Tuan Tuan up. "Who is it?"

"It’s that big white goose. She broke our window. Youyou, remember to make her pay for it!" Tuan Tuan filed her complaint directly, regardless of whether the other party was a partner or not.

Lin Yun gave her a deadpan look. "She’s a swan."

"Is there a difference?" Sang Biao chimed in from the side.

Lin Yun sprayed some medicine on herself before yawning and going downstairs to open the door for Bai Yu.

"Why did you come over in the middle of the night? I’m not going sneaking around with you tonight. I’m too tired."

Bai Yu’s lips twitched. This unlucky kid, did she even know how to talk? What did "sneaking around" even mean? Seriously.

"Moth Punishment and the others are back."

"Who?" Lin Yun asked groggily, still not fully awake.

"Moth Punishment, the previous chief of the Bloodmoon Clan," Bai Yu repeated.

Lin Yun said "Oh," then her body trembled, and she could hardly believe her ears. "Who?! But I heard from the gossip outside that the previous chief of the Bloodmoon Clan had already died!"

Bai Yu glanced at her and continued to reveal more. "Not only that, the chief of the Corpse Butterfly Clan was also there, and so was the previous chief of the Goat Clan."

Lin Yun: "???"

Her entire head was filled with question marks.

"Don’t be confused. They’re the same ones whose cells you opened before."

Lin Yun was stunned for a moment. She raised her hand and wiped her face. "Are you serious? But they don’t have any characteristics that belong to their races!"

Bai Yu sighed and explained. "Didn’t everyone say that those who escaped were test subjects? They were test subjects. Don’t you know what they went through? The racial characteristics that belonged to them had long since been removed by the experiments and replaced with parts from other races. It’s already impressive that they survived those experiments, but they also became test subjects who were neither successes nor failures. To prevent them from spreading rumors, the giant rats locked them up and told the outside world that they had died in an accident. The island of the Corpse Butterfly Clan had sunk, and all its members were dead, so naturally no one would say anything. As for the Bloodmoon Clan, they were being brutally suppressed and had no chance to speak. As for the others... they were just unlucky people who happened to run into the giant rats and got caught, so let’s not mention them. Their own people all believed they had perished in accidents while out and about. As for the other test subjects in the institute, no one knows whether they succeeded or failed."

At this point, Lin Yun could not help but ask, "What kind of experiments are they conducting? And why are they doing these kinds of experiments? To this day, I still don’t know what that research institute is researching."

Bai Yu was speechless for a moment, then hesitated to speak. "Actually, I don’t know either... those unlucky guys just won’t say." She touched her nose. Although she was now on the same side as those people, they just would not say anything.

Lin Yun: "..." She did not want to continue this ridiculous collaboration.

Bai Yu thought for a moment and tentatively suggested, "Why don’t you go ask them? They’re at my house right now."

"No. If they won’t tell you, what’s the point of my asking?" Lin Yun rolled her eyes.

Bai Yu was too embarrassed to say anything. She had come to find Lin Yun because she was so angry with those people.

"What are you doing here tonight? Going to cause trouble again?"

"Want to go to the research institute?" Bai Yu replied.

Lin Yun refused on the spot, saying that staying up late every day was making her face look sallow. Bai Yu was unwilling to give up and wanted to ask again, but Lin Yun stopped her.

"I’ll talk to you in a bit. I’m going upstairs for a while. If you have nothing else to do, you can lie down for a bit."

Lin Yun placed a small nightlight in the living room. The light from the nightlight was very dim and would not attract the monsters outside. She quickly went upstairs to her room and immediately opened her personal panel. She had heard the message notification sound from her panel while she was still downstairs.

Anna Yao: "Aaaaaah! Sister Lin, help me! That building is a research institute!"

Anna Yao: "I used a prop card to sneak in, but I never expected it to be so damn scary inside! It scared me to death!"

Even after sending the messages, Yao Anna still felt a chill run down her spine.

After passing through the first security checkpoint, there were two more security checks before one could enter the large laboratory on the first floor. Inside the large laboratory, there were many large jars against the walls, filled with strange green or blue liquids. More importantly, they contained people of all kinds of races! They floated in the liquid with their eyes closed. Having grown up in a safe country, where had Yao Anna ever seen such a scene? Upon seeing it, she had been so frightened that she almost screamed. Luckily, she had managed to control herself in time, or she would have been doomed too!

Despite her fear, she had continued to follow the researchers inside to the laboratory on the first basement level. The laboratories on that floor housed all sorts of animals. After listening for a while, she realized that there were not only animals, but also people whose races had reverted to their original forms! They were dissecting those people while they were still alive! Yao Anna felt nauseous as she watched. She wanted to vomit, but she knew she had to stay calm!

There were more floors below the research institute, but the researcher she was following did not have high enough authority to go down. She stayed a while longer, looking for an opportunity, but no one else had the authority to go down either. Later she heard them say that the people below usually did not come up. They only came up to get new test samples when the samples were used up. Only then could the elevator on the second basement level be opened.

After learning the details, Yao Anna immediately ran out, hid in a corner of the forest, and vomited violently until she collapsed on the ground, questioning the meaning of life. Damn it, what sins had she committed in her past life to deserve such disgusting things in this one?

After she calmed down, she started typing to Lin Yun again.
