Chapter 232
“How are you feeling? Any discomfort?” Dr. Chen’s tone had completely shifted from the cold anger he’d shown his assistants earlier. There was even a hint of concern in his voice.
“Dr. Chen, I’m fine… I think I had a strange dream. There was a little boy in it who looked a lot like me, and he took me on a game of hide-and-seek around the hospital…” Shen Ge attributed everything to a “dream” again, answering Dr. Chen’s questions “truthfully” through that lens.
Since Shen Ge and Sanzi hadn’t killed the female mutant this time, the monstrous baby hadn’t appeared early either. Naturally, there was no scene with a meal cart delivering the baby as a deterrent.
Later, to punish Shen Ge for leaving the ward without permission, Dr. Chen took him to Sanzi’s room to “observe” the process of being fed to the bugs.
Shen Ge was committed to playing his role completely, so he naturally put on a frightened and terrified act, eventually pretending to faint and being wheeled back to his ward by Dr. Chen and the others.
Shen Ge thought Dr. Chen and his team would use this as an opportunity to experiment on him. He was even prepared to use “hypnosis” to control himself again. But to his surprise, they simply settled him in and left.
“What does this mean?”
“Are they really just going straight to the third phase of the experiment?”
Shen Ge lay on the hospital bed pretending to sleep, rapidly reviewing every detail of the past few days of “infinite loops” in his mind.
