Chapter 424: Organ Exhibition
"...Huh?"
Bessie suddenly realized she had celebrated too soon.
"I think the disappearance of organs is related to moving through the corridor. Don't look at the labs beside you when you walk forward. I need to determine the rules here."
Lin Ye had just tried various actions he had done before, but the organs inside his body hadn't disappeared. This indicated that organ loss was likely related to movement within the corridor.
"Then you better replenish my missing organs promptly and don't let me die."
Bessie didn't argue. There were only two people here, and someone had to go first. She relied on the mutation organs Lin Ye created to survive, so she could only be the one to scout the path.
This was fair.
Bessie began inching forward, constantly sensing the condition of the mutation organs within her body as she moved.
Lin Ye was also sensing the mutation organs inside Bessie. As she moved forward, that temporary mutated heart also began showing signs of loss, but due to the powerful regenerative ability of the tumor-like structure, the repair speed of the mutation organs was much faster than the loss rate.
"Walk faster. I'll handle the situation inside your body. You help me observe the surroundings and find a way to leave this place." Lin Ye wasn't just monitoring all the mutation organs inside Bessie;
he was also paying attention to the mutation organs within his own body and the surrounding environment.
"Okay."
Bessie moved quickly through the corridor while observing the surrounding laboratories. She could only trust Lin Ye now.
The corridor seemed endless, with only some turns that offered no branching paths along the way. The laboratories were filled with all sorts of bizarrely shaped mutation organs. This place was like some kind of mutation organ exhibition hall, not much different from facilities like zoos or aquariums.
Moreover, each laboratory also contained research reports on these mutation organs. Lin Ye occasionally examined the research reports inside through the glass. These reports followed the same format, appearing very formal, and Lin Ye found no errors in them.
The two strolled through the corridor like visiting tourists. So far, Lin Ye hadn't discovered any lethal threats here.
Of course, without the mutation organs formed by the tumor-like structure, even Lin Ye wouldn't be able to walk freely here. He might have needed to go into the laboratories to obtain replacement mutation organs after just a few steps.
And entering the laboratories to obtain mutation organs definitely wouldn't be risk-free, so Lin Ye didn't even approach those laboratory entrances.
"...The consumption of mutation organs seems to be accelerating."
Bessie suddenly spoke up.
But she didn't stop walking because the growth rate of the mutation organs within her body remained stable.
"Hmm, the mutation organs inside the laboratories are also becoming more complex. Keep moving forward. Any change is a good thing."
Lin Ye occasionally stopped to observe the mutation structures within those mutation organs. These mutation structures already had decent aesthetic appeal.
At such times, Bessie could only stop too, accompanying Lin Ye to look at those mutation organs that held absolutely no interest for her.
"Didn't expect there'd be unexpected gains. Hope we encounter some interesting mutation structures."
Lin Ye slowed his pace. To confront that Abyssal Evil God, he needed to learn about mutation organs. If this corridor was long enough, it would be more helpful to him than the library.
"Are you taking a post-meal stroll? Aren't you afraid your friend might leave this place alone?"
Bessie had no appreciation for these grotesque lumps of flesh. She just wanted to leave here as soon as possible.
"As long as the elevator is still there, whether he leaves or not doesn't matter. Want something to eat?"
Lin Ye somewhat regretted bringing this tasteless individual up here. Having a companion who was an uncultured amateur during a visit would only ruin the experience.
This situation was worse than visiting alone.
"I'm already starting to regret eating so much earlier."
Bessie said, feeling nauseous.
"Forget it. This is my problem. I shouldn't have had excessive expectations for an ordinary person like you."
Lin Ye opened the small bag, and a large amount of biological sample surged out from within.
"Don't! I'll listen to you!"
Bessie retreated several steps in fright.
But those biological samples didn't approach Bessie. Instead, they formed a humanoid figure very similar to Bessie beside Lin Ye.
Since his companion had poor taste, he could just create a new companion.
"Eh, what's this?"
Seeing Lin Ye wasn't attacking her, Bessie curiously moved closer.
"This is Bessie Pro, alienated based on your body information. Later, it will provide mutation organs for us instead... and also accompany me to visit this mutation organ exhibition floor instead of you."
Two black tubular tips grew from Bessie Pro's body, inserting themselves into both of them.
Bessie walked forward a few steps and discovered that the mutation organs within her body were no longer being consumed. Instead, they began consuming the mutation organs within Bessie Pro.
"This is amazing! Thanks."
Bessie patted Bessie Pro's shoulder.
"Please don't touch me. I dislike contact with low-intelligence, inferior mammals."
Bessie Pro suddenly spoke.
Her voice was identical to Bessie's, yet the feeling it gave was completely different, like the distinction between a husky and a wild wolf.
"It can actually talk!"
Bessie was shocked. She had personally witnessed Lin Ye casually create a conscious being. To her, this was practically no different from a deity.
"This is exactly why I need to study those mutation structures. It can not only talk but also provide mutation organs for us instead. As for the principles behind it, you wouldn't understand even if I explained."
This wasn't actually something Lin Ye had just created. When he obtained the biological sample, he had been considering creating a consciousness to manage the biological sample.
"Can I ignore her? I can do better than her."
Bessie Pro turned to communicate with Lin Ye.
"Come on, we look so alike. You can't bear to see me die, can you?"
Bessie curiously observed Bessie Pro.
"No. I promised to get her out of here."
Lin Ye said casually while sensing the mutation organs inside the laboratories.
"What a pity."
Bessie Pro walked to Lin Ye's side. It extended its right hand, from which grew the mutation organs from the laboratories, displaying their unique mutation structures.
Bessie was very interested in Bessie Pro. She followed beside Bessie Pro, occasionally touching the black pipelines between them.
Bessie Pro split off a smaller replica similar to its own appearance from within its body and pushed the replica toward Bessie.
"Take this to play with. Don't disturb us."
The replica looked at Bessie with a silly grin, appearing extremely foolish.
"This isn't what I wanted..."
Though she said this, Bessie didn't discard the replica. Instead, she held its hand and carefully kept it by her side.
