Chapter 5: Subject S292
‘Now it seems that you have no ill will towards humans.’
‘We have decided to take you into custody.’
The doctor spoke rapidly.
Lu Xiao quickly grasped the key points.
“Containment? Does that include food and lodging?”
“That’s great!”
Lu Xiao sat up and excitedly grasped the doctor’s hand.
“I will definitely follow your instructions.”
“As long as you provide food and lodging, I will go east if you tell me to and never go to the west.”
The doctor nodded his head, turned around and said,
“The target currently shows no aggressive tendencies. The safety level is temporarily set to S.”
‘Subject 292.’
A nearby staff member quickly recorded the doctor's words.
‘Subject S292.’
‘Containment object name: The Lost Human.’
‘Containment level: Safe (tentative).’
‘Target abilities: Unknown!!! (To be researched)!’
‘Containment conditions: Unknown!!! (To be researched)!’
Soon, the staff completed the entry of the containment object's information and handed the tablet to the doctor.
The doctor glanced at it and nodded.
He then looked at Lu Xiao and smiled kindly.
‘Do you have any special abilities?’
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao pondered for a moment and then replied seriously.
‘Does eating count as a special ability?’
Hearing this remark, everyone present was taken aback.
The doctor adjusted his monocle.
‘Do you have any other special abilities?’
Lu Xiao thought carefully, then shook his head.
The doctor pondered for a moment, then turned to the staff member beside him and said,
‘Let's proceed with this for now! Prepare a containment room for him!’
The staff member hesitated.
‘Should we include “eating” in the information?’
“Should I shove your head up your ass?”
The doctor muttered angrily.
The staff member shrank his neck and dared not argue.
He didn’t doubt whether the doctor could do it, he only doubted whether the doctor would do it.
After completing the necessary documentation, the doctor addressed Lu Xiao kindly.
“Since your current containment level is S, it means you are safe.”
‘You may move within the designated area of the base.’
Lu Xiao froze, staring at the doctor with dead fish eyes.
‘Aren't you supposed to be studying me?’
The doctor waved his hand.
‘The research is conducted in the containment room!’
‘No need for dissection?’
Lu Xiao was a bit confused.
In his impression, research always require dissection.
The doctor adjusted his monocle and instructed his assistant behind him.
“Take him to the containment room.”
…………
Inside the containment room.
Lu Xiao sat on a steel bed frame in the centre of the room.
The walls around him were made entirely of steel.
Under the glow of the incandescent lights, they shimmered with a metallic sheen.
There were three buttons on the wall near the door, one button had a door icon, one button had a light bulb icon.
The last one had an icon shaped like a chicken leg.
Lu Xiao pressed the light bulb icon first.
Click!
In an instant, all the lights in the room went out.
Lu Xiao pressed the button again.
The bright white light came back on.
Then, Lu Xiao pressed the button with the chicken leg icon.
Click!
A small door on the wall opened instantly, revealing a hole.
A hamburger appeared in the hole.
Lu Xiao stared with wide eyes.
‘They really provide food and lodging! This is too good to be true!’
While talking, he reached out to grab the hamburger.
Suddenly.
Snap!
A gust of wind blew out of the hole, sending the hamburger flying onto the ground.
The present scene fell into silence.
On the other side.
The doctor and the other staff members were watching the surveillance footage while holding their breath.
On the surveillance screen.
Lu Xiao stared at the hamburger without moving.
The scene was extremely eerie.
‘Will he get angry because of this?’
One of the staff members whispered.
The doctor's gaze was fixed on the surveillance screen.
On the other side.
Lu Xiao didn't care about the hamburger that had fallen on the ground. Instead, he fell into deep thought.
‘One burger won't even fill me up!’
‘I wonder if I can press the button a few more times!’
Thinking about it, Lu Xiao pressed the button again.
Click!
Another burger appeared in the void.
Then, the burger was blown out of the void by a gust of wind and landed on the ground.
At this moment, a mad expression appeared on Lu Xiao's face.
Watching the surveillance footage of Lu Xiao’s maniacal expression, all the staff members felt a sinking sensation in their hearts.
“It seems his containment level needs to be adjusted!”
Someone suggested it.
At that moment, Lu Xiao in the footage was laughing maniacally while frantically pressing the button.
Not long after, the burgers piled up beside the wall were as high as a small mountain.
Lu Xiao, with a look of bliss on his face, dived into the mountain of burgers.
He grabbed one with each hand and stuffed them into his mouth frantically.
The staff watching the surveillance footage sighed in relief.
They then recorded two lines of text on their tablets.
‘Subject S292, his emotions are stable!’
‘Subject S292, he has a massive appetite!’
At that moment, the doctor suddenly slapped his forehead.
‘Oh no!’
Upon hearing this, the staff present all froze, turning to look at the doctor in unison.
‘We forgot to remove the bullet from his body!’
The staff only paused for a moment before resuming to do their original tasks.
They had long since grown accustomed to such scenes.
Just then, a urgent voice shouted,
“Doctor! The test results for that piece of flesh and blood are out!”
“Hurry and take a look at it!”
Upon hearing this, the doctor immediately walked over to the testing instrument.
Upon seeing the test results, the doctor’s monocle fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
All the staff who saw the results couldn't help but stare in shock.
The test results showed that the cells in the blood and flesh tissue were continuously multiplying, then dividing and finally dying.
The doctor roared at the staff member responsible for the test.
‘What about the original piece of blood and flesh?’
The staff member hesitated for a moment, then walked over to the refrigerator and took out a container.
Inside the container was the piece of flesh that Lu Xiao had personally cut from his own chest.
The doctor opened the container and took out the piece of flesh.
At that moment, the piece of flesh was still twitching slightly.
It looked exactly the same as when Lu Xiao had just removed it from his body.
A faint smell of blood filled the doctor's nostrils.
A staff member nearby asked,
‘Doctor! Is there something wrong with this tissue?’
The doctor's eyes were filled with excitement, as if he had discovered a new continent.
‘What an incredible discovery!’
He immediately cut off a small piece from the flesh.
He placed it on the instrument for observation.
(PS: S-Level refers to ‘Safe,’ meaning it is safe. However, an S-class containment object does not mean it is weak.
Generally, only containment items that do not attack humans and do not attempt to escape are classified as S-level.
For example, a button that would destroy the world if pressed would be classified as S-level.
On the other hand, a containment item that can frequently escape to explore the outside world, even if it does not harm anyone, would be classified as D-level, meaning ‘Dangerous.’
Since the button cannot be moved within the containment facility, it is classified as S-level safe, while the containment object that can escape at any time is classified as D-level.
There is also an R-level category, which refers to containment objects that possess immense power, an evil nature, a strong desire for destruction, and extreme hostility toward humans.
If classified as R-level, these containment objects are those that the wardens must find a way to destroy.)
