Chapter 642 - 10.37 Sleeping Princess
Even though he could not wait to see his lover, Lu Yizhou still showed an appropriately shocked expression. After all, 52 had never gone out of this cage and he had assumed that his ’world’ would forever be limited here. "I can... go out?"
"Oh, yes, of course!" Benjamin opened the gate and walked in. He crouched down in front of Lu Yizhou and clasped Lu Yizhou’s hands, looking up at him with a benevolent smile like how a kidnapper would fool the naïve children into their car. "You have shown astounding results for these past few years, so we have decided to give you special treatment. It is only for you because nobody has ever come close to how special you are. You understand me, don’t you 52?"
Though Benjamin looked fearless being in such a close proximity with an experimental subject, in fact the hidden muzzles in the corner of the room had already been pointing at Lu Yizhou’s vitals since some time ago. As soon as he showed the slightest bit of aggression and tried to attack the researcher, then he would immediately be shot with tranquilizer. Benjamin knew it too, that’s why he was not worried that Lu Yizhou would attack him. Moreover, he knew very well how docile Lu Yizhou was.
...This was a beast that had been completely tamed.
As expected, 52 showed a faint delightful expression at being treated as ’the most special’. "Alright," he nodded without any hesitation. "Lead the way."
Satisfied, Benjamin finally let go and walked out of the cage. Unaware that behind him, the faint joy in Lu Yizhou’s eyes immediately chilled below zero degrees Celsius. His eyes showed mild disgust when they landed on the hands which were held by the researcher. However, due to the tight surveillance in this place, he was unable to exhibit any strange movements like wiping his hands on his clothes because it would just attract unnecessary suspicion.
Because of the addition of the new permanent skill, all of the researchers in this place must be focused on Lu Yizhou. He should not expose himself right now. Not before he could confirm his lover’s safety.
As expected, as soon as Lu Yizhou followed Benjamin into the elevator, he sensed countless eyes falling on him through the CCTV on the corner of the cubicle. Lu Yizhou had gotten used to it and did not show any reaction. Instead, he was inspecting the elevator buttons with pure interest.
The elevator in Nightingale Prison could only move vertically, but in this institute, there was a button to move horizontally. The A-Z level was divided into five in each level, as such there would be A3, S4 or Z5. At present, Lu Yizhou’s ’home’ was in Z2. Benjamin pressed the button for Z5 and Lu Yizhou felt the ground beneath his feet shifted to the right.
