The young girl sat on the sofa, staring at the pastry in front of her but not touching it.

This kind of treatment only happens when she visits.

The Doctor was right about one thing—he truly treated her well.

Among all the children in the laboratory, Yun Qiqi’s treatment was top-notch; she received the best of everything, and her material demands were mostly met.

She even had her own small villa on the ground above the laboratory, appearing like a normal person except for the tight security and lack of outside communication.

But such kindness always seemed to have a certain purpose.

After the assistant brought her food, she remained silent, staring at it, lost in thought.

Seemingly accustomed to this state, the assistant smiled and said, "I’ll go see if the Doctor needs anything. Miss Qi Qi, enjoy your meal."

It was only after the person left that Yun Qiqi stood up and silently exited the break room.

She was very familiar with this underground laboratory building, knowing every room and route like the back of her hand.

Thanks to her exceptional memory, she could remember everywhere she had been.

Except for a few rooms where she had no access, she could investigate the rest.

Including several rooms used for experiments.

In Laboratory No. 1, there were many researchers; besides Dr. T, who was primarily responsible for her "treatment" and body modification, there were thirty to forty researchers, and over a hundred people including assistants.

Yun Qiqi had access to most of the laboratory, and nobody stopped her from wandering around.

She encountered many people, including a few assistants leading two approximately ten-year-old children.

One of them had eyes that shimmered faintly white, looking quite different from normal.

The other was much shorter, appearing somewhat deformed, but the light in his eyes was not something seen in typical children.

Before leaving here, Yun Qiqi had grown accustomed to various strange children in the laboratory, only realizing after seeing adorable, naive children in kindergartens and schools outside that not all children appeared like those here.

Everyone in the laboratory referred to such conditions as genetic mutations that occurred during treatment.

Over the past two years, Yun Qiqi had understood dimly that their so-called treatment involved transforming all the children into something beyond human beings, supposedly necessary for them to survive their illnesses.

She had believed this until then, even if she had doubts she couldn’t find a better explanation.

But after hearing what Tong Xi said and seeing the two kids before her, she felt a chill down her spine, her gaze inadvertently turning cold.

She ultimately restrained herself and brushed past them nonchalantly.

She must find an answer—an answer to the secret of this laboratory.

If what Tong Xi said was true, perhaps she would uncover a shocking secret today.

Yun Qiqi visited many rooms in succession, filled with various experimental equipment for different experiments; many researchers were present, who calmly continued their work upon seeing her.
