Chapter 38

Chen Yang, panting heavily, returned to the alley, took a deep breath, and calmed his breathing.

Since he had exited that state, he not only felt sore all over but also had a slight dizziness, making him walk unsteadily.

In such a condition, he clearly couldn't go home directly. His right hand abandoned the experiment and allowed him to take a taxi home.

"Wait, someone..."

Before he even stepped into his building, Chen Yang heard a warning from his right hand.

"What?"

Chen Yang was slightly puzzled.

"Someone has entered your room."

Chen Yang's expression changed slightly. Who else could it be if not a thief, entering his room without his permission?

Burglary?

These four words flashed through Chen Yang's mind.

He was tense for a moment, then relaxed. Others might not know, but he knew exactly what he had at home. It was all old furniture and worthless items. Apart from the old computer, the only thing of value was his bank card.

However, this time he was dealing with a burglar who dared to break in. Chen Yang hesitated, wondering if he should call the police first.

"Host, go in."

His right hand spoke: "We happen to need a test subject, and a human has just walked in."

Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, then silently mourned for the burglar inside.

With his right hand, Chen Yang put aside the idea of calling the police and took out his keys to open the door.

"Click."

Closing the door, Chen Yang pressed the light switch, and the room was instantly illuminated.

Although there seemed to be no changes in the room, and Chen Yang had exited the brain overdrive state, he still noticed some signs of disturbance due to his familiarity with the layout.

"That human is under your bed in the bedroom."

Under my bed?

Chen Yang cursed inwardly. If it weren't for the alien parasite in his right hand, the burglar might have dared to hide under his bed and wait until he fell asleep before escaping.

Entering the bedroom, he looked under the bed and said softly, "Come out."

There was no response from under the bed.

"Friend, if you don't come out, do you want me to drag you out myself?"

At these words, there was a slight movement under the bed. A man with yellow hair, holding a dagger, crawled out, looking wary.

"Friend, what are you doing in my house so late at night?"

Chen Yang himself didn't realize that, influenced by the parasite in his right hand, he was acting unusually calm, far calmer than an ordinary person would.

An ordinary person, upon encountering such a situation and seeing a burglar with a gleaming dagger, would still sit calmly in a chair?

At least in Wang Rui's memory, he had never seen such a calm person.

Perhaps this person had already called the police, so he wasn't afraid?

Thinking of this, Wang Rui's face changed dramatically, and he dared not delay, threatening fiercely, "Brother, I admit I lost today. If you let me go, we'll call it even. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Chen Yang didn't speak, but Wang Rui felt something was wrong.

Why did this person's eyes remain so calm after he threatened him with the dagger?

Even...

It seemed to carry a hint of pity?

How ridiculous...

What Wang Rui hated most in his life was when others looked at him with pity. He didn't want anyone's sympathy!

Anger overwhelmed Wang Rui's reason. Holding the dagger, he prepared to teach this person a lesson, planning to slash his face to see who needed pity.

However, before he could act, Wang Rui froze.

Not only did he freeze, but his body trembled with disbelief and fear.

Heaven, what did he see?

The right hand of the person sitting in the chair extended like rubber, and a mouth full of sharp teeth opened in the palm!

What, what is this?

Wang Rui was so frightened that he didn't even dare to breathe, his face turning red as he stared at the extended right hand, too terrified to think.

His mind went blank, unable to think, standing there stiffly.

At this moment, he couldn't even think about escaping. It was as if even his instinct to breathe had been taken away.

"Whoosh!"

Wang Rui's mouth opened wide, and he collapsed to the ground, his eyes losing focus.

The right hand extended to Wang Rui's forehead, looked around, and said satisfactorily, "This human is very healthy. He seems suitable as a test subject."

"Commander Luosi..."

Chen Yang frowned, looking at the collapsed burglar, "Don't you need to consider if using him as a test subject might cause trouble here? If this person goes missing, his family might call the police."

"Don't worry, I'll put him back later."

"What?"

Hearing this, Chen Yang was even more worried: "He has already seen your appearance. Won't letting him go cause even more trouble?"

"Idiot, of course I know that. My appearance must not be exposed to human society. However, after the experiment, this human will have no memory of tonight..."

The right hand said pityingly, "Even how long this human can live... I don't know..."

Saying this, the right hand split into a needle-like branch and suddenly inserted itself into Wang Rui's back of the head, making Chen Yang shiver.

With the needle inserted into the back of his head, the unconscious Wang Rui's body trembled violently, and a groan escaped his tightly closed lips, looking extremely painful.

"Commander Luosi, what kind of experiment are you going to perform on him?"

Chen Yang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Just watching the right hand's operation made anyone feel a chill. Being pierced deeply into the back of the head with a needle-like object was more terrifying than surgery.

"What kind of experiment? Of course, it's the brain overdrive experiment..."

"I want to see how long an ordinary human can survive without your physical condition and my regulation."

Chen Yang asked cautiously, "What is the significance of such an experiment?"

"Of course, there is a reason for what I do. Have you forgotten? I once said that to extend your lifespan, we need to conduct many experiments."

While controlling the needle in Wang Rui's head, the right hand said, "Humans like to conduct experiments on mice and other animals before performing clinical trials on humans. However, we don't need to follow such rules. Directly using humans for experiments will give us the results we want faster."

"Though this process will inevitably sacrifice some people, but..."

The right hand's mouth focused on Chen Yang, "All of this is for your own benefit. Why worry about other irrelevant humans?"

Chen Yang didn't dare to look directly at the right hand's mouth. He remained silent, not answering the right hand's words, because at this moment, he truly realized that the right hand's nature was fundamentally different from humans.

This wasn't a movie where aliens were either friendly or evil. In reality, the alien parasite in his right hand had no moral distinction when it came to humans.

Was there any guilt or joy in stepping on an ant?

If not for other reasons, such a high-level being like the right hand might never have interacted with humans.

In the future... how many more people would die because of this?

Chen Yang was hesitant. Years of education made it difficult for him to make a decision.

How low can a person go?

To what extent will a person go for their own benefit?

When faced with countless riches and a thousand years of life, how many people would "cruelly" refuse to save the lives of others?

Chen Yang was no saint, so his choice was simple: he turned his head away.

Sometimes, a person's choice is that simple.

Since he had chosen to cooperate with the right hand, Chen Yang had to learn to let go of many things from the past and start anew.
