Chapter 1141: Chapter 963: The Liberator

Researchers at the United Government’s Psychic Research Institute believe that near-death experiences can greatly stimulate the psychic abilities of the human body, leading to the notorious stimulative experiments.

However, these experiments often encounter a common problem—life is only once and is not a recyclable item.

Of course, the researchers do not feel sorry for those lives that fade away in their experimental devices. In their professional jargon, these are sacrifices for the cause of science, humanity will remember their contributions. What really makes them regretful is that the deceased can no longer speak, nor can they convey their experiences at the moment of near death to them.

They believe that if they could make the dead speak, research on psychic abilities would make breakthrough progress.

And now, the device in front of them had achieved just that.

Vadim, trapped in the device, was not only able to leave messages for himself after death but also had a chance to start over.

It was like a one-life-clear game, but not every death was meaningful.

Before the light representing "Nothingness" was illuminated, Vadim had gone through 12 meaningless deaths.

"Cloud Biological Pharmaceutical..."

Through repeated observations, Qi He also gained some understanding of the experimental facility.

He was certain that this research institution had indeed once existed, located somewhere near the Oasis.

Cloud Biological Pharmaceutical was one of the members of the Ragus Foundation. After the comprehensive ban on human experimentation projects, the company moved more than seventy percent of their laboratories to the "outside world." For the company, this was a choice with all the benefits and no harm.

The "outside world" was not subject to the laws of the United Government, and the cost of experimentation was also lower.

Qi He remembered that at one company annual meeting, he just happened to overhear a conversation from a representative of Cloud Biological Pharmaceutical, who had returned from the "outside world," telling his past friends in amazed tones how terrifyingly low the "human resource costs" were in the "outside world," and even human trafficking was a legal industry permitted by local governments in many countries.

It was in such an environment that Cloud Biological Pharmaceutical’s experiments made rapid progress until the emergence of the "Devourer" project.

"The person in charge of the Devourer project was Medea, the former director of Cloud Biological Pharmaceutical’s ’outside world’ execution department. After the accident, the company pinned all the blame on her, claiming to the public that she abused her power during her tenure and hid the research projects she was working on from the company."

Anjing held a tablet computer in her hands and easily researched Medea’s personal information.

To bring this power-abusing director to justice, the company even applied to the foundation for a search team, claiming at the same time that Medea might have a deadly chemical weapon, thus she should be executed on sight and her body brought back to the company headquarters immediately.

"The search operation ended in failure at that time. Medea lost contact in District 17. There was a rumor that to get rid of the tracking device installed in her body by the company, she went to an underground clinic and eventually died on the operating table. All of her cybernetic enhancements were taken apart by the clinic’s doctors to be sold on the black market."

Such incidents are not uncommon in a border city like District 17, and subsequently, for a long time, Cloud Biological Pharmaceutical declared Medea as deceased.

"Until two months ago, Cloud Biological Pharmaceutical received news about Medea again, related to the highly publicized Void incident."

"I’ve heard something about that."

Qi He was noncommittal. Six Stars substitute Fengling also lost contact around that period.

Because of this, Cloud Biological Pharmaceutical lost several "guards," their operation in District 17 failed, and they submitted another application to the foundation, hoping to send out a Six Stars rescuer to investigate the Void. In the end, this proposal was rejected by the Review Meeting, and afterwards, Cloud Biological Pharmaceutical’s further investigation on Medea also came to nothing.

"It is said that the last time they saw Medea, she had already undergone mutation and possessed many insect characteristics, but strangely, unlike other Aberrations, she did not lose her sanity. She was able to communicate normally and even plotted against the company."

"Maybe District 17 is also engaged in related experiments."

Gustav suddenly spoke up, "The last time I went to District 17, I always felt something was off."

"Off?"

"The intuition of a Psychic... Anjing, you’ve stayed in District 17 for so long, haven’t you noticed anything?"

"It’s the bugs."

Anjing stretched out her hand and gestured with her thumb and forefinger the size of the insects, "The people of District 17 call them Horn Bugs, about this big, fitted with a large number of cybernetic enhancements, and they also have a camera function. These Horn Bugs secretly assist the operations of the Law Enforcers."

"Moveable surveillance probes, I didn’t expect they could even domesticate bugs."

Gustav clicked his tongue in wonder, "Good job, Anjing, I can’t believe you even found out about this. I declare you are now the organization’s ace spy!"

"It was Anfiya who told me this, they never intended to hide the existence of the Horn Bugs from me in the first place."

Rather than friendship or trust, Anjing felt it was more of a display of absolute confidence.

She always felt that the city was hiding something even more terrifying, its current existence was like a barrier between the United Government and the "outside world," the Review Meeting and the Rebel Army could not get any benefits there, and in the past few months, countless people had proven the consequences of causing trouble in District 17.
