"What did I see? Is Dr. Tang teaching me on the spot?" "If so, then No. 1 learns very quickly and can write in no time, but can it understand what this means?" "I think No. 1 should be a special case. At least No. 2 and No. 4 definitely don't have such learning ability." "Why does No. 1 still hope that Dr. Tang will be kind to it after being tortured by poison gas? Doesn't it resent Dr. Tang..."
The researchers in the monitoring room had a heated discussion. Some of them were very interested in Dr. Tang's method of nurturing No. 1, but the oldest researcher had a sullen face and stared at the screen of Tang Ning and No. 1 interacting with a heavy heart.
In addition to this old researcher, there are several other researchers who do not agree with the emotional control plan. "Monsters are not cats and dogs. They may call you father affectionately today, but eat you up with skin and bones the next day." "We need to know its test limit." "In fact, emotional control can be used. We can combine emotional control with chip control, which can reduce the burden of mental connection on us..."
A researcher asked Tang Ning through the headset when the electric shock test was going to start. Tang Ning looked at the obedient No. 1 in the glass cell. He could not tolerate No. 1 to undergo that kind of test no matter what.
"Isn't the poison gas test we just conducted enough to show the suitability of No. 1?" Tang Ning asked coldly.
"We need to conduct more tests. A gas experiment alone is not enough..." The person on the other end was about to finish his words when Tangning interrupted him, "Do you understand He Jin's emotional control?"
The researcher on the other side obviously didn't understand. What a coincidence that Tangning didn't understand, but he would make up a story: "Putting this kind of test on No. 1 now will only ruin the relationship that No. 1 and I have worked so hard to build."
So far, Dr. Tang’s words represent authority in terms of emotional control. If Dr. Tang says that we cannot enter further tests, then we cannot.
"Okay, we'll cancel it right away," the person on the other end said respectfully. However, halfway through his words, the sound from the headset suddenly disappeared. Tangning then heard an elderly voice: "Tangning, Dr. Tang."
This was the old researcher who was originally named Tang Ning. Unlike the other researchers who addressed Tang Ning as Dr. Tang, this old researcher called Tang Ning by his full name from the beginning. Now, instead of adding a sense of respect, he seemed to emphasize his identity, reminding Tang Ning to remember his identity as Dr. Tang.
Tangning was stunned for a moment and asked in her mind: System, who is this? How should I call him
Dean.
"Dean." Tangning tried his best to keep his expression calm, but he felt a vague sense of uneasiness in his heart.
"Dr. Tang, if you hadn't said that you had emotional control over No. 1, I would have thought that No. 1 had emotional control over you. Are you feeling sorry for No. 1 now?"
When the old dean said this, the researchers in the ICU looked at each other in bewilderment. They found it hard to imagine that these words came from the old dean's mouth, and the person he was referring to was actually Dr. Tang.
How could anyone feel sorry for monsters?! It was the monsters that invaded their homes! It was the monsters that destroyed their peaceful lives! It was the monsters that forced them to work day and night in this research institute and study with all their heart and soul!
Tang Ning blinked. He heard the voice of Researcher Rich in the headset. He couldn't suppress his anger. This anger was not directed at Tang Ning because they didn't believe that Dr. Tang would feel sorry for the monster. They were simply angry about the old dean's assumption.
Tang Ning suddenly realized that to the NPCs in this world, these monsters were like zombies or aliens that fell from the sky in disaster movies. They stole monster embryos and conducted these cruel experiments just to protect their homes.
These researchers used the method of establishing mental links to control the monsters, which also took great risks. For example, the researcher who controlled subject No. 3 had already been carried away for treatment, and he was bleeding from all seven orifices when he was carried away. Researchers No. 2 and No. 4, who had just finished the test, struggled desperately during the monster gas test and suffered some injuries, and their faces also did not look good.
"My impression of Dr. Tang is not that kind of person. It's okay to take care of your experimental items, but you shouldn't put the cart before the horse." The old dean said slowly.
This was the first time Tangning was accused by an NPC of violating his character setting. The unspoken rule of the card game was to follow the original character setting. If one rashly violated the character setting, the game would likely increase the difficulty. If Tangning showed great concern for No. 1 in this world, he might be strongly rejected by other researchers, or even face a greater crisis...
Tangning knew that the person who was talking to him was watching him through the monitor and could tell what was going on in his heart from his expression. Tangning lowered her voice and said, "I know."
Wrong, Tang Ning simply replied with these three words. He then looked at the cloud-like black fog, which was still looking at him obediently. The face drawn on the glass wall had not been wiped off. At first glance, it looked like a small black cloud with a face from some cartoon floating beside him.
The monsters and humans in this world are indeed in opposition, but No. 1 truly regards him as his father and relies on him wholeheartedly.
Tangning didn't want to see No. 1 undergo that kind of test again, especially since he knew that No. 1 would never disobey his orders. So what should he do now? How could he live up to his character's setting while also preventing No. 1 from getting hurt
The researchers' goal was to test No. 1, but there was more to testing than just harming No. 1. There were many other tests. Tangning thought for a moment and said, "I would like to complete other tests, but No. 1 is too weak to cooperate with us in completing other tests."
The old dean said something else, but it seemed that Tangning had fooled him.
Tang Ning remembered that when the group of researchers were discussing just now, someone mentioned several test items, one of which was to test whether No. 1 could suppress his instinct to attack.
This test content will not cause less harm to No. 1. After all, it is the only one who attacks others and will get beaten.
Tangning mentioned this experiment and the other researchers started to prepare. During the preparations, one of the researchers asked Tangning, "Dr. Tang, we are all curious, were you teaching No. 1 the word 'happy'?"
"Um."
These researchers wondered about Dr. Tang's deep considerations behind this move. Some believed that Dr. Tang had taught No. 1 these two words a long time ago, and even made No. 1 have a certain conditioned reflex to this word, using this word to soothe the emotions of No. 1 who had just been tortured; others believed that this was the first time Dr. Tang taught No. 1 this word, and he wanted to show everyone No. 1's learning ability.
In fact, Tang Ning didn't have any considerations. He just wanted to teach him the word "No. 1".
Happy, this is a word he thinks is very beautiful.
However, this was Tang Ning's first time as a teacher, and he suddenly realized that he still had to explain to No. 1 what this word meant.
Tangning looked at No. 1 and the word "happy" on the glass wall. He asked the system in his heart: If I explain these two words to No. 1 directly, will it solve it
The system had praised No. 1 for being smart, but Tang Ning found that he had greatly underestimated No. 1's intelligence, because the system said: No. 1 has already understood the meaning of these two words through your emotional changes.
Tang Ning discovered that indeed, if number 1 had the word solution, it would not be followed by an exclamation mark.
It even understands that adding an exclamation point emphasizes the emotion behind the word.
"Dr. Tang, did you teach No. 1 enough? We want to know No. 1's vocabulary level." asked the researcher in the headset.
The other researchers could only let the experimental subjects follow simple commands such as attack and defense. For attack, they would stimulate the experimental subjects to make them want to attack, and more precisely let the experimental subjects choose which part of their body to attack. However, these were just their consciousness transmitted directly to the experimental subjects through mental connection. Once the mental connection was broken, no matter what they said, the experimental subjects would not respond. Not only did the experimental subjects not obey him, but also because these experimental subjects simply could not understand what they meant.
Up to now, these researchers did not know that the chip had lost its effect on No. 1 a long time ago, and they did not know that No. 1 could understand Dr. Tang's various commands very early on.
Tang Ning had an inexplicable intuition that he couldn't let No. 1's true level be exposed. If these researchers knew No. 1's true level, they would definitely subject No. 1 to a series of terrifying tests. By then, he wasn't sure if he could protect No. 1!
"I taught No. 1 to write the words 'father', 'quiet' and 'happy', and also gave some simple instructions." Tang Ning did not say that No. 1 learned these three words within one day. The first two were just taught by Dr. Tang, and the third word "happy" was already understood by No. 1 before Tang Ning even explained its meaning.
What Tang Ning said was the truth, but the researchers had no idea that No. 1 was so intelligent. They just thought that Dr. Tang had spent a lot of time and effort to train No. 1 to learn these three words, including the animation face of No. 1. They thought that this was a prelude made by Dr. Tang to help No. 1 understand this word, and they completely thought that No. 1 was self-taught.
"Oh, we can't wait to hear about your specific breeding process for No. 1, Dr. Tang." The researcher said with anticipation: "If the method is feasible, we plan to breed a new batch of experimental subjects according to your method, Dr. Tang."
The system did not tell Tangning the specific process of cultivating No. 1, but just let Tangning explore on her own. So Tangning replied coldly, "Are you ready for the test?"
"Alright, alright." The research institute said quickly, "We can start now!"
Monsters have a certain sense of territory, and they will instinctively attack living beings around them.
The researchers first placed a little white mouse in the glass cage. As soon as the mouse was thrown in through the researchers' special passage, it was so frightened that it pretended to be dead on the spot.
"No. 1, no attacking." Tang Ning said.
Tang Ning said that the monster was not allowed to attack, but he did not tell No. 1 to stay motionless because Tang Ning felt that it would be too tiring for No. 1 to stay motionless the entire time. A normal person would feel uncomfortable maintaining that position for that long. Although he was not sure about the monster's specific feelings, Tang Ning felt that No. 1 would not like this wooden man state.
The little white mouse in the black cloud pretended to be dead. It still looked at Tang Ning greedily, as if it couldn't get enough of it.
"Should Dr. Tang stay away from No. 1? Dr. Tang should be the most attractive to the monster." "I think we should do this. When Dr. Tang leaves No. 1, can his orders still work on No. 1?"
The researchers expressed their ideas, and Tang Ning left the lab. He was led to the monitoring room. Tang Ning's arrival made the researchers in the monitoring room subconsciously quiet down.
It's not just because they are afraid of Dr. Tang. Most people, when they see something particularly beautiful, usually lower their voices for fear of disturbing others.
They gave the best seat to Dr. Tang, and Dr. Tang sat down. The people closest to Dr. Tang could smell a pleasant odor from him.
It's very light, making people want to get closer to smell it.
Tang Ning observed No. 1 through the monitor. After he left, the black cloud, perhaps out of boredom, began to circle around the mouse that was pretending to be dead.
Suddenly, the black cloud extended something like a black tentacle and swept towards the mouse pretending to be dead!
"Look! No. 1 has started attacking!!!" A researcher shouted excitedly, and other researchers said, "As expected, a dog will always eat shit. Oh no, I mean it's easy to change a country, but hard to change one's nature!" "Is it that emotional control requires a certain distance limit like mental connection, like Dr. Tang, so No. 1 will be willing to obey, and once Dr. Tang leaves, will he disobey orders?"
"No." A cold voice interrupted the discussion of others.
When Dr. Tang spoke, everyone fell silent. Tangning stared at No. 1 on the screen, "It did attack the mouse, it just..."
"It's just teasing the mouse." said the old dean.
Yes, the black cloud in the picture did not use its tentacles to penetrate the mouse's body, nor did it swallow the mouse directly. Instead, it kept touching the poor mouse. Tang Ning looked at No. 1 like this and suddenly remembered some videos he had seen online of cats playing with mice as toys.
However, this mouse was more pitiful than the other mice. Tang Ning was a little worried that the mouse pretending to be dead would be frightened out of his wits by mouse No. 1.
"Haha, it's the damn nature of this monster." "If Dr. Tang hadn't given the order, it would have definitely tortured these mice to death." Unlike Tang Ning, who thought of a cat playing with a mouse when he saw this scene, the researchers around him thought of humans being tortured by monsters.
"Put in a few more mice." "Forget about mice. Animals that are too small are not very attractive to monsters. Put in a cat." "If the cat doesn't work, put in a dog..."
Soon, a black cat and a big white dog were thrown in. Sure enough, these two larger creatures immediately attracted the attention of No. 1. It floated in front of the black cat, frightened the poor black cat so much that it bent over, its fur standing on end, and kept meowing. It then floated in front of the big dog, which held its tail between its legs and dared not move, showing a gesture of submission.
No. 1 extended his tentacles towards the cat and the dog as if he were treating a mouse. The two little animals did not dare to move and allowed No. 1 to touch them. No. 1 now had both a cat and a dog, something that many people could never achieve.
However, No. 1 did not seem to be interested in these things. It returned to its original position and pressed its body against the place where Tang Ning had written the word "happy" with her fingertips.
"There's an attack." "How long can this situation last?" "Throw another injured animal in. I don't believe it will be stimulated to go crazy..."
Injured animals
Tang Ning frowned, and soon he saw the researchers abandoning a bleeding old cow.
The cow was very big, and looked bigger than No. 1, which was a small ball of black mist. It was seriously injured and fell to the ground, bleeding from its abdomen and unable to stand up.
The huge size and blood seemed to stimulate No. 1. No. 1 floated to the side of the old cow, and the old cow mooed sadly. Tang Ning saw No. 1 in the picture slowly floating to the ground. Its black mist surged, constantly absorbing the blood flowing from the cow's belly. Tang Ning's order was that No. 1 should not attack, and that No. 1 should not be allowed to drink blood.
"Blood is very attractive to monsters. Do you think No. 1 will be stimulated to disobey orders directly?" "In fact, it is unexpected that he can hold out for so long."
Everyone was waiting on their screens, waiting for the moment when No. 1 would go crazy and kill all the monsters here.
They saw bubbles starting to emerge from the black mist. This behavior was not only seen when No. 1 was happy. Just like at this moment, its desire to attack was stimulated by the blood. Those black bubbles kept emerging like surging desires, and were constantly suppressed by it.
"It won't be able to hold on any longer," one researcher confirmed.
They had seen how No. 1 lost control. That seemingly small ball of black mist suddenly expanded into a giant, swallowing up everything around it like a corrosive bubble.
Tang Ning's heart slowly began to lift.
Under the gaze of everyone, the swelling black fog moved away with difficulty and floated to the glass wall. It wrote something on the glass wall stroke by stroke. With each stroke, the swelling on its body became smaller. When it was completely finished, the black fog returned to its original harmless appearance.
The researcher zoomed in and out, and saw a replica of Tangning's words written on the glass: "Silence!"
Number 1 did it...
When Tang Ning was not around, it indeed suppressed its desire to attack.
"Dr. Tang, your method is really effective." "Unbelievable." "Dr. Tang, you are amazing." The researchers praised Tang Ning one after another, but the old dean still frowned.
"Dr. Tang, how did you cultivate No. 1?" "I think if this method is feasible, it is worth promoting!" "Then we need to test it again to see if No. 1 is stable..."
Tangning felt a strange sense of pride when she heard what everyone said. This pride was because of No. 1. In response to everyone's questions, Tangning said calmly, "I'll tell you when I'm fully prepared. Let's end the test here for now. I'm a little tired."
"Okay, Dr. Tang, can you tell No. 1 again about your previous order? We want to test how long No. 1 can resist his desire to attack."
Tangning agreed and left the monitoring room to head to the basement. On the way, Tangning asked the system: "System, does Dr. Tang usually give No. 1 any rewards?" Even if he was training a dog, he would give the dog some rewards. No. 1 behaved so well today, he should praise No. 1 according to Dr. Tang's method.
sugar.
sugar
Tangning was stunned for a moment. He took out a candy from the drawer and asked, "Is this it?"
At first he thought that Dr. Tang liked to eat candy, but it turned out that this was something specially used to reward No. 1. Can No. 1 feel the sweet taste
Tang Ning walked into the basement with the candy in his hand. He immediately saw No. 1 in the glass cage. The dark cotton candy had been waiting for him for a long time. When it saw Tang Ning, whom it had been thinking about for a long time, finally showed up, it couldn't help but let out a few small bubbles, but they were quickly suppressed, like a little monster trying to appear calm and composed.
cute.
After Tangning had this thought in her mind, she realized that her taste in beauty had gradually become weird. She actually had a cat in a place, but the first thing she thought was cute was not the pitiful black cat, but a group of black mist whose shape could not be seen clearly...
Tang Ning looked at the little white mouse pretending to be dead on the ground, then at the little black cat with airplane ears, the dog with its tail drooping, and the old cow that looked like it was about to die.
Tang Ning even noticed that he spent the shortest time on the little white mouse and the dog, just a quick glance and then passed by, but when he looked at the little black cat, he stayed there for a longer time.
The frightened little black cat suddenly felt a chill on his body. He looked towards the black fog not far away with trepidation, looking very pitiful.
Tang Ning walked towards where the old cow was. The wound on the cow's abdomen was very neat, and it looked like it was cut by a knife.
Under Tang Ning's gaze, a tear slowly flowed from the old cow's eyes.
Tang Ning's heart tightened, saying that cows are very human-like. Some oxen have plowed the fields for their owners for their entire lives, but were still killed when they got old, which is why they shed such tears.
Tang Ning sighed slightly, took out some candy from his pocket, and looked at the small ball of black mist.
The moment Tangning brought the candy, No. 1, who had been sitting quietly, couldn't help but bubble with joy.
Seeing this, Tang Ning walked over to the glass where the three test subjects had attacked madly. A small crack had already appeared there, so Tang Ning put the candy directly into it.
Black Mist quickly swallowed the candy without even removing the wrapper. Tangning fell silent for a moment. Did Dr. Tang tear off the wrapper before feeding him candy
Be sure to pay attention next time.
After simply feeding No. 1, Tang Ning turned around and left the basement. He still had a lot of things to do. He explored more information left by Dr. Tang and checked what other players had discovered, whether Li Haoyuan had something to do, etc. In short, he couldn't just sit here and do nothing to accompany No. 1.
The black fog in the glass cage quietly watched Tang Ning leave. After Tang Ning's figure completely disappeared, it was still suspended in the air, like a group of dark clouds piled up on the horizon, so dark that it seemed like it would rain at any time.
On this side, Tang Ning walked into the basement and found that he had no communication equipment on him. It seemed that the research institute had consciously deprived him of the right to contact the outside world.
Tang Ning passed through many checkpoints on the way here. This time, he saw Li Haoyuan at the guard post, but he didn't know where he had gone.
Tang Ning frowned slightly, and returned to his residence according to his memory.
Tang Ning locked the door of his room as soon as he entered. This pure white room made Tang Ning feel uncomfortable. He felt that it was too clean and he felt that he would dirty this pure white room if he was not careful.
In fact, the entire research institute made Tang Ning feel uncomfortable. Whether it was this pure white room, the corridors filled with surveillance cameras, or the basement where the experimental subjects were imprisoned, everything was cold and icy, like a huge prison.
System, why do I have any communication facilities on me? Tangning asked.
The research conducted by the institute is a highly confidential one. For the sake of confidentiality, no one here has any device that can communicate with the outside world.
Well, this rule made it difficult for Tang Ning to contact other players. This time, he was only teamed up with Li Haoyuan and knew nothing about the other four players. Fortunately, when he went to the basement, he found that Li Haoyuan was a guard, otherwise he would not know what Li Haoyuan's identity was.
What kind of personality is Dr. Tang? Tang Ning asked.
Dr. Tang concentrated on studying monsters and didn't care about the outside world.
He looks mysophobic.
Yes.
Tang Ning walked to the table, opened the drawer, took out a piece of candy and ate it. The sweet taste made Tang Ning feel a little better. He pushed aside the top layer of candy with his hands and took out a series of information. Most of it was incomprehensible to Tang Ning. Tang Ning tried hard to read it for a while, and found that his head hurt after not looking at it for a long time.
If there were any copies that required Tang Ning to take exams, Tang Ning felt that he would definitely fail. There were some things he could still work hard on, but he just couldn't answer these questions.
Putting down the pile of documents, Tang Ning found a notebook with a password lock. Tang Ning tried to unlock it with his usual password, and soon, he opened the notebook.
The words on it were vague. Not only did they give the cause and effect, but there were also many signs of being torn. Some pages only had one sentence, so Tang Ning flipped through them quickly.
"I don't want to do that."
“Are we doing the right thing?”
"I'm very sad."
“I feel dirty.”
“This world is so dirty.”
""
The most obvious thing is the negative energy throughout the article. When Tang Ning saw that Dr. Tang felt dirty, he felt uncomfortable because he thought of Dr. Tang's mysophobia.
Is it because of the tremendous inner pressure that Dr. Tang developed mysophobia
Tangning continued to flip through the pages and found a page with a simple sentence on it: "I thought I was going to die, but..."
"Maybe this is right."
“It’s going very well.”
"It's incredible. It's a miracle."
"No problem."
Tangning frowned and turned the pages quickly. The words on the page were sometimes uplifting and sometimes depressing. When Tangning turned to the last page, he saw only a simple sentence on the page: "I am destined to fail. I have love."
What is the problem? Why did Dr. Tang say that he was doomed to fail? This sentence seems to correspond to setting 2 on the card.
And the final key, what does “having love” mean
Tangning fell into despair.
This is not a diary because there is a date on it. It should just be a trash can for Dr. Tang’s inner emotions.
Tang Ning turned to the page where Dr. Tang's emotions first changed, which was the page that recorded "I thought I was going to die, but..." and asked: System, can you tell me what happened today
That day, the chip controlling No. 1 failed. The system replied.
So the turning point is that the chip fails, and then Dr. Tang finds that No. 1 has done something to him, and can even communicate and control him? So Dr. Tang has found a new way to control emotions
Tangning made a bold guess.
So what happened on this day? Tangning pointed to the page that said "No problem" and asked.
The system did not respond. It seemed that this was not information that the system could reveal.
Tang Ning closed the diary and went to explore the room again, searching every corner, big and small. Unfortunately, Tang Ning did not find the other key props.
At the same time, in the monitoring room after Tang Ning left.
"Dean, is it inappropriate for us to do this? We have Dr. Tang's permission." "He is responsible for cultivating monster No. 1, but that does not mean that the ownership of No. 1 belongs to him. Everyone in our institute can study monsters. At the beginning, each researcher is responsible for his own monster, because only people with special mental links can come into contact with monsters to ensure their own safety." The old dean's words made the researchers who were originally feeling guilty nod their heads.
"Opportunities are rare and time will not come again. Now Dr. Tang has ordered No. 1 not to attack, which is a good time for us to test." "I don't believe that there will be a monster willing to suppress its own nature for some kind of emotional control." "Don't worry, we will only test secretly, Dr. Tang will not find out. Could it be that it will write to tell Dr. Tang about this in the future?" "Dr. Tang stopped us at the beginning because he was worried that it would affect other tests..."
Amid the researchers' conversation, the old dean pressed a controller, and a strange light suddenly flashed in the glass cage filled with black fog. Purple lightning appeared silently, like a colorful net.
The black fog that was floating up and down in the glass cage was cut into small pieces by the electric net at this moment! It moved quickly in the glass cage, but there were electric nets everywhere.
The power grid was extracted from a monster in the research institute. The moment the power grid appeared, black smoke came out from the little white mouse pretending to be dead, the shivering little black cat, the whimpering big white dog, and the dying old cow. They were electrocuted to death before they could even scream.
"It can be considered as a relief for them. Instead of being eaten by monster No. 1, they are electrocuted to death directly." A researcher said with compassion.
"I remember that No. 1 is not very resistant to electric shocks. I wonder how long it can last this time." "At most 10 electric shocks, No. 1 will be seriously injured if it is used more than that." "No, it means that we will have enough energy to use electric shocks if it is used more than that. This weapon can only be used 10 times at most." "But the order left by Dr. Tang is for No. 1 not to attack. Do you think that breaking the glass and escaping within the range of No. 1 is considered an attack?" "Not sure, I'm very curious."
Another burst of strong light flashed in the darkness, like lightning flashing in a storm, and the small group of black fog began to surge violently.
"After enduring two electric shocks, No. 1's form has collapsed. It is indeed the strongest monster." "Don't underestimate No. 1. I think it can hold on for at least three more times."
Another electric net lit up in the glass cage. The black fog was much smaller than the electric net at this moment, but it still attacked the glass cage.
"Let's try again. We'll shock it as many times as it can hold out. I don't believe it won't break the glass even though it's dying..."
Tangning lay on the bed exhausted. For some reason, his chest suddenly felt stuffy and uncomfortable. Tangning covered his chest and frowned, trying to suppress the sudden palpitations. At this moment, there was a knock on the door, "Dr. Tang, your dinner is here."
It’s Li Haoyuan’s voice!
Tang Ning perked up, he quickly got up from the bed and opened the door. Li Haoyuan walked in with a dining cart, looking humbled.
With the lessons learned from his experience, even though there were only Tangning and Li Haoyuan in the room, Li Haoyuan lowered his head and did not dare to look at Tangning. However, Tangning could look at Li Haoyuan. He observed Li Haoyuan's complexion and found that although his face was a little pale, it was not a big problem.
Tang Ning took out a healing item from his space ring and quickly handed it to Li Haoyuan. Li Haoyuan had communicated with Tang Ning before. He took the item and slowly left the room.
Tang Ning opened the dining cart, which was filled with a sumptuous meal that tasted delicious. Tang Ning was indeed hungry after being busy for such a long time, so he ate quickly. While eating, Tang Ning suddenly bit into something that did not taste like food.
Tangning frowned and spat out what was in his mouth. It was a note. He opened it and saw that it read: "An NPC wants to blow up the research institute."
