Chapter 596: Chapter 593: Cruel Experiment

The most horrific part was that as the corpse tumbled down, an arm broke off, separating from the body, and blackish blood seeped from the break, carrying a putrid stench.

When the corpse rolled to the nurse’s feet, the young nurse didn’t react immediately, staring dumbfounded for three seconds, but then let out a pitch-piercing scream.

This scream contained extreme terror, and after screaming, the young nurse covered her eyes with her hands and trembled uncontrollably from fear, yet she stood rooted to the spot, not daring to move.

Many people would ask why one doesn’t run when faced with danger, like watching a car coming at them and just standing there, not moving, only able to scream in fear.

Actually, those who think this way are speaking without understanding the terror involved; under extreme fear, many people just go blank, with no thought of escape.

However, Lin Tian found it odd; this nurse clearly worked for the Gu Cultivators and should have been accustomed to gruesome scenes. Why then did a single corpse frighten her to the point of losing all composure? Could she be a newcomer? Even bad people have rookies.

Regardless of whether she was a novice, the brutality would have shaken even men, let alone a woman. What was stranger was the nurse’s loud screams didn’t provoke any reaction from the surrounding houses; no one came out to check, as if the people inside were accustomed to such occurrences.

"What are you doing! What are you doing!" shouted the man in the white coat, pointing at the two ninjas and yelling irritably: "Is this your first day? Don’t just stand there, clean this up quickly, haul it away. Useless!"

Both ninjas, wearing rubber gloves, carefully lifted the corpse onto a stretcher, then picked up the severed arm, positioned it properly, covered it with a white cloth and quickly left.

However, Lin Tian noticed that both ninjas had fine beads of sweat on their foreheads, they were obviously scared.

Lin Tian suddenly remembered something: last time, in the old district of Kyoto City, during a clash with the Gu Cultivators, he caught a sniper. At first, the sniper was quite defiant, but once Gu techniques were mentioned, he immediately switched attitudes, confessing everything.

That sniper probably had done work here too, and thus was extremely fearful of Gu techniques, likely having witnessed the horrific consequences of being affected by Gu here.

After the four ninjas had taken away the stretcher, the man in the white coat turned back and pointed to Lin Tian and the others, saying, "You three, and you, are responsible for the same work. If the laboratory isn’t cleaned up by three o’clock in the morning, and Lord Gu lays blame, none of you will escape unscathed."

This was the second time the man in the white coat mentioned Lord Gu, indicating that Lord Gu held a high position here, able to intimidate many people.

Beside pointing at Lin Tian and the others, the man in the white coat also looked towards the nurse, implying she should pair up with Lin Tian’s group to make two teams capable of carrying the stretcher.

The young nurse might not have come to her senses yet, completely unaware of what the man in the white coat said, standing and staring vacantly alone.

"Kikuchi Mika, what are you spacing out for? There’s no need for you to record the data in the laboratory for now; go clean up with them," said the man in the white coat, a middle-aged man who was probably as temperamental as a woman in menopause, foul-tempered, cursing at anyone he caught.

"Yes, Mr. Nishio Yoshiaki," the young nurse snapped out of it and immediately agreed, not daring to oppose.

The man called Nishio Yoshiaki, in the white coat, paid no more attention to Lin Tian and the rest, walking off to the laboratory on his own without instructing them on the work.

Lin Tian was considering taking the opportunity to go into the laboratory to have a look, so he chose to stay behind. Maybe he could even manage to get his hands on some useful items, whether it was feeding Little Zi something for evolution or making Gu Medicine for Li Qingyun, it all seemed like a good idea.

"You... hello, can I be in your group?" Lin Tian was thinking about how to pull off the heist when he heard the voice of the young nurse.

She was looking at Lin Tian, and although she couldn’t see his face, there was still a look of expectation on hers. The nurse wasn’t very tall, not even reaching Lin Tian’s shoulders, a petite and delicate girl.

However, she perfectly embodied the merits of Japanese women; her figure was petite and exquisite, but the parts that were supposed to be ample were not lacking at all; her bosom stretched the nurse’s uniform prominently, and the parts that were supposed to be fair were indeed fair, causing Lin Tian’s mind to conjure up images of actresses from Japanese adult films.

"Humph humph..." Ning Luoxi deliberately coughed twice, pulling Lin Tian back from his fantasies of Japanese adult films.

Since Lin Tian couldn’t speak Japanese, he decided to play it cool. He didn’t say anything, just nodded, which seemed to relieve the nurse dubbed Kikuchi Mika.

In truth, Lin Tian understood that the young nurse wasn’t smitten by him at first glance or attracted to him, but rather because he was the only man among the four of them, and it was apparent from his physique that both Ning Luoxi and the Heavenly Master Girl were also women. The work ahead involved moving corpses, so partnering with a man provided a sense of security.

"We’ve just been transferred here recently and are not yet familiar with the environment. Could you lead the way for us?" Ning Luoxi said to Kikuchi Mika in Japanese.

"You’re also new here? So am I," Kikuchi Mika said with slight surprise, "But I’ve been here for over ten days, a bit more familiar than you, let’s go."

Lin Tian and the other two exchanged a glance, silently communicating to check out the situation first, and so they followed Kikuchi Mika to another laboratory.

"Lady Kikuchi, I notice you are different from the other people here?" Ning Luoxi asked softly, and Lin Tian could tell that there was probing in her words.

"I was an orphan, someone adopted me. I was originally trained to be in nursing, but recently there’s been a shortage of staff here. They transferred me over, and I hadn’t realized that such a place even existed," Kikuchi Mika spoke softly, seemingly still trying to adjust to the change in her circumstances.

Transferred? Lin Tian caught a keyword. Kikuchi Mika had mentioned it earlier, and now Ning Luoxi had pulled it out of her. What did being transferred mean? It indicated that outside of this lair, the Japanese had other forces, existing in different forms.

The Gu Cultivator was indeed not simple, no, it should be said that the Sun Shadow Association was not simple. Lin Tian had an intuition that, as formidable as the Gu Cultivator was, he might not be the final boss but merely a capable member of the Sun Shadow Association?

Lin Tian pondered quietly and followed Kikuchi Mika to the front of a room. The door was open, but there were semi-transparent plastic strips hanging in the doorway, preventing a clear view inside.

Just as they were about to enter, two ninjas came out, carrying another stretcher, clearly another corpse.

Damn it, what kind of experiments was the Gu Cultivator running? Could it be that after being defeated by Li Qingyun last time, and his life Gu killed by me, he is now desperately trying to cultivate a new life Gu? Lin Tian wondered suspiciously.

The room was as large as a classroom, furnished with a number of experiment stations, each with a glass cabinet beside it. The glass cabinets were long, over two meters, and looked like coffins.

As soon as Lin Tian entered, he saw two ninjas opening one of the glass cabinets, clearing out its contents.
