No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem like an act.

Could it be real...

Luo Xuan was uncertain now.

"River Sparrow."

"Yes." A tall woman in a tight-fitting leather outfit appeared behind Luo Xuan.

"Bring her out."

"Really? It’s Heather, if..."

"Bring her out."

Even if they kept her here indefinitely, it wouldn’t solve anything; there would be no progress.

"Yes."

The woman named River Sparrow led Heather out of the secret room.

Heather’s previous guess was correct; she was locked in a secret room, and outside there were people guarding everywhere, surveillance cameras installed in corners—escaping this place by herself was not an easy task.

River Sparrow was always holding onto Heather and paying attention to every move she made, fearing she might launch a sudden attack.

Sometimes Luo Xuan would go to see her, but every time he turned around, he saw a Heather who seemed already lifeless, being carried along like a puppet, which inevitably aroused his doubts.

K’s destructive ability is really that strong?

Unlike the previous monochrome secret room, this time Heather was put into a normal room, decorated in a European style, with a large bed, large windows, bright colors, transparent views, not sealed, even facing mountains and forests with a pleasant green scenery.

This place looked more like a room primarily aimed at psychological therapy.

However, a day went by, Heather sat on the recliner, not to mention getting up to look at the scenery outside, she almost didn’t move at all.

Luo Xuan and River Sparrow stood outside the door, observing for more than ten minutes.

"Our research on K has never been tested on humans, such extreme situations are possible," said River Sparrow, "But, we cannot exclude the possibility that Heather is waiting for us to relax before escaping."

"Remove all the guards around."

"This—"

"Remove them."

He was thinking, could it be that Heather had already noticed that there were people arranged around her, hence she did not act rashly?

He had everyone leave, staying only at the exits, while he and River Sparrow stayed in front of the monitor, observing.

Time passed, and two hours went by without her getting up.

Luo Xuan conducted tests from various aspects, and all results showed that Heather indeed had an abnormal condition due to the combination of K and Tranquilizers.

...

At night, Luo Xuan entered the room again.

He walked over to Heather, crouched down in front of her, gently stroked her hair, and deliberately lowered his voice calling her: "Heather."

She didn’t respond.

She seemed more like someone whose senses were shut down, seeing nothing, hearing nothing.

A maid brought food in; Luo Xuan waved his hand, asking her to put it down.

He began to feed her.

When the spoon approached her mouth, she would automatically open her mouth, eat, swallow, repeat the mechanical action as if a computer had memorized the program.

When night fell deep, he let her lie on the bed, she would close her eyes, then peacefully fall asleep.

They removed obvious places, leaving only a few people hidden in dark places, guarding day and night.

After Luo Xuan went out, he said to River Sparrow: "Hurry up and research the antidote for K."

River Sparrow paused for a moment: "But, when we started developing K, we didn’t think about configuring an antidote for it. I thought... when you injected it into Heather, you were taking her life."

"Go and do it. There is no absolute poison, nor is there an absolute antidote, the time is not a problem. For now, use Tranquilizers to temporarily suppress her, there’s no helping the side effects."

"Yes."
