I just don't get it, such a big room, why is there only one snake inside, isn't this guy supposed to be a researcher? There should be many animals, right? Is this guy going to give each of the captured animals their own private room?
Not until the next day. I was so hungry that my stomach was sticking to my back when the door was suddenly opened and two people walked in, one of whom was one of the three white-robed men from yesterday.
Another was a man of about fifty years old, not very tall, somewhat thin, wearing a pair of glasses with extremely thick lenses, and for some reason, perhaps because he was too clever, his head had already gone bald.
"After entering, the man in white said respectfully: 'Doctor, this is the snake we caught yesterday. See if it's helpful to you.'"
So this is the Dr. Jin they were talking about, but he doesn't look like what I imagined, this guy looks just like an ordinary retired worker, not a bit of a doctoral demeanor.
Dr. Jin nodded and wiped his nearly bald head with a few strands of hair left, saying: "Mm, let me observe first!"
After finishing speaking, he walked to the side of my cage and started observing me at close range. Then his eyes widened and he said: "Huh? This snake actually grew a horn? Xiao Feng, quickly take it out for me, I want to study it carefully!"
The man in white listened, then opened the cage and quickly grabbed me before I could react. As he dragged me out of the cage, his other hand also grasped my head, saying to Dr. Jin: "Doctor, now that I have it under control, you can observe."
Dr. Jin adjusted his glasses, hastily pulled out a magnifying glass-like object from his pocket, and shone it on my head. A minute later, he exclaimed excitedly, "That's right! Definitely not wrong, this snake has indeed grown a tentacle! This is a major discovery, quick, put it on the experimental table for me, I want to study it carefully!"
At this time, he was like a hungry Han who saw a naked beauty, excitedly finished speaking and rushed to the laboratory first, with the white-clothed person following behind, pulling me in.
After entering the laboratory, I took a look around and found it to be very spacious, about 300 square meters in size. It was filled with all sorts of instruments that I couldn't even name. When I saw one instrument next to me, my heart skipped a beat.
On top of it was an alligator-like animal with big and small tubes and data cables inserted all over its body, a staff member sat beside the computer, studying something.
The crocodile seemed to be alive, but was stuck on top and couldn't move. It stared at the worker with wide eyes, as if it would eat him once it broke free. The worker, however, seemed nonchalant, occasionally glancing at the crocodile and then back at his computer.
At this time, Dr. Jin also walked to an experimental table and pointed to the iron clip on it, saying: "Just put it on top and fix it!"
As soon as I looked, this iron clip was probably set up for snake research. A long and narrow slit, the width can be automatically adjusted. The man in white put my whole body inside, then tightened the width of the iron clip, trapping me firmly inside, unable to move at all.
"Doctor, it's all set now, it's very safe, you can conduct the experiment."
Dr. Jin nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand at the man in white, saying, "Well, you can go down first, I'll call you if there's anything!"
The man in white nodded and retreated. It seems that when Dr. Jin conducts experiments, no one else can disturb him except for himself and the staff.
At this time, I was also shocked to the point of being speechless. What is he going to do? Won't he also fill me up with tubes and data lines like that alligator? If it's really like that, won't I be finished? If I don't die from the pain, I'll probably be researched into a monster.
Dr. Jin didn't know what I was thinking at the time, but he hastily took a data cable from beside him and stabbed it towards my head. I looked up to see that the end of the data cable was like a needle, and this guy wouldn't actually want to stab me in the brain, would he?
I wanted to struggle, but the clip was too tight and I couldn't move at all. I could only stare at him with my eyes wide open, but Dr. Jin didn't even notice me, he just gave a slight prick and the needle was already in my head.
A sharp pain came, I cursed loudly in my heart, but it had no effect. Fortunately, he only pricked two needle heads of data lines on my head and didn't prick anything else, which made me feel a little relieved.
At this time, Dr. Jin immediately opened the computer and quickly typed various commands on it. After a while, Dr. Jin stopped his hands and stared at the computer screen without blinking.
He would frown for a moment, then suddenly look excited, even muttering to himself. It was so ridiculous that I thought he was crazy at first.
"How is this possible? This snake's thinking is so active, how can it be more active than human thinking? My god, what am I seeing?" At this time, Dr. Jin stood up from his chair as if he had discovered a new continent, staring tightly at the computer and said.
Hearing Dr. Jin's excited voice, several staff members nearby also walked over and asked, "What's wrong, Doctor?"
Look, Dr. Jin seemed to have found an outlet for his emotions as the staff approached, excitedly pointing at the computer and saying: "Quickly look, you guys quickly look at this snake's thought data!"
Several people looked at the computer screen together and suddenly became excited, shouting: "Heavens! Is this a snake? Doctor, is it really a snake?"
I'm speechless just listening to this, are these goods stupid or something? I'm not a snake, am I still human? Hmm, that doesn't seem right, I'm actually half-human and half-snake now, with a snake's body and human thoughts.
Wait, Dr. Jin said that my thinking is very active, could it be that he has discovered something? He won't really be able to see that I am a human soul, will he? If that's the case, what will he do to me then?
Thinking of this, I also started to worry, I didn't doubt that guy at all, if he really discovered my human thoughts, he would definitely dissect me for research.
After finishing, these guys all ran to my side and carefully examined me, as if to see if this was really a snake. But after a long time, everyone no longer suspected that this snake, apart from having a touch, looked very ordinary in appearance.
But this snake, why is its thinking so active? To say that the things it thinks about are not inferior to those of humans. In other words, it's probably already planning how to kill the people here and escape.
"One of the staff members said, 'Doctor, if this snake can think like that, we can't be careless in the future. Its IQ is not inferior to humans. If it escapes, I think it may bring us great harm.'"
Dr. Jin wiped his remaining dozen or so strands of hair again, nodding: "Yes, I've considered this too. From now on, I'll have Xiaofeng and the other three keep watch 24 hours a day. Moreover, I must extract its genes - this discovery is truly astonishing! If the experiment succeeds, it will be another huge breakthrough for humanity, allowing human intelligence to take another step forward."
Thinking of this, Dr. Jin had already fantasized that if the experiment was successful, he would ask Liu Shanhe to submit the report to the higher-ups, and whether his experimental base could be recognized by them. If it were recognized, he would be able to conduct experiments openly and his abilities would be further developed.
After hearing his words, I was also heartbroken. If he had those three freaks watching me for twenty-four hours a day, I wouldn't have any chance of escaping at all. Wouldn't that truly make me his experimental subject?
"No way, I won't die here, nor can I be studied into a monster by him. I must think of a way to escape!" At this moment, my heart is no longer calm, and as long as there's even a slight chance of escaping, I won't let it go.
