Mysterious Hunting Ground

Chapter 179.
Dean omitted most of the process and gave Hope a brief introduction to the origin of 11.

"11, why is it called this name? What's the special meaning?"

Hope waved at the little girl as kindly as possible, but his rough facial features and the scruffy stubble around his mouth made him look like a big bear standing upright.

The little girl couldn't help shrinking her neck, and hesitantly rolled up the sleeve of her left hand to reveal a tattoo of the number "011" on the inside of her wrist.

Hope was in a trance for a moment, then roared angrily into the air,
"The beast in the Hawkins laboratory, locked up a child for human experiments, and branded numbers like animals? He deserves to be attacked!"

"11, don't be afraid, you can safely live in the house for the next period of time, and no one can force you to leave!"

Hope promised swearingly. Seeing that the girl was really shy, he gave Dean a look.

"go to bed early."

"Don't close the door!" Seeing the two turn around and leave, 11 begged,
"OK...I'll leave some light for you." Dean left a gap for the bedroom door.

"Dean, tomorrow?" She gripped the quilt tightly, her trembling voice was full of anticipation,

"I remember, I will take you out if I have a chance, good night."

……

Dean followed Hope into the living room.

"Let's make it up." Hope folded his arms, his previous amiability was gone, and his expression was as cold as a popsicle. "How did you get her back from the laboratory?"

"I'll make a long story short," Dean said with a sincere face, "I've been observing the lab every day, because I thought my parents' disappearance might have something to do with it. As a result, I happened to find a group of people storming the lab last night. "

"People from Sulian?" Hope asked, obviously already understood part of the truth,

"They spoke Russian, maybe from Sulian? One of them ran into the forest with 11 who was unconscious .” Dean concluded lightly.

Hope recalled this kid's skill, it is not difficult to deal with a shooter, but——

"You are fooling me for being a fool. Is there such a coincidence in the world? You told me not to do anything, but you ran to the laboratory first, and happened to hit 11?"

"Then what do you think?" Dean looked at Hope without flinching, "I'm with Su Lian, or I'm with the lab."

"I'm asking you," Hope looked at him with blazing eyes, "I just want the truth."

"Believe it or not, I didn't have a dollar to do with the accident in the lab tonight! I just got lucky." Dean hooked Hope's shoulders, "And you just need to know that I kept my word and put the girl You brought your son back to your ancestral house, by the way, 11 is Teri's daughter, Jane!"

Hope's face softened a little at the word daughter,

"Sheriff, understand the situation clearly. We are already on the same front, and we can't get away from this incident. So next, we must try our best to hide the whereabouts of 11." Dean warned, "Once she If the news leaked out, neither the Sulian people nor the American government will let us go!"

"I will take 11 back and torture her even more!"

After hearing this, Hope ruffled his hair in distress, his complexion changed under the light, and after a long time, he gave Dean a helpless smile, and finally there was a tacit understanding in his smile.
"You're right. There are people from Sulian who are scapegoating, and the lab can't imagine that 11 is still under their noses, so there will be no problem living at home for at least two or three months. After this period, we will take her out. Find Teri. But don't mention 11 outside, including your uncle."

Dean reached out and shook his hand, "Of course, but don't take it upon yourself to buy clothes, snacks, toys, etc. for 11 in the town, so as not to be discovered by interested people, especially when you are on the phone, be careful monitor."

"I'll take care of things, don't worry." Hope nodded, then patted his forehead wearily, "I still have to go back to the police station to cooperate with the investigation. You take care of her first, and I'll be back tomorrow morning."

The discussion is over.

When Hope walked to the door of No. 11, he took a look inside. Looking at the peaceful sleeping face, it seemed as if he had seen the face in his memory, and a gentle smile could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth.

"Good night, little one, have a sweet dream."

Hope drove away.

……

Dean closed the bedroom door.

Hope was stabilized and 11's accommodation problem was solved, and there was still a lot of interrogation work to be done.

He took out the plank and felt the ten souls in it.

Nine paths belong to the Sulian people, but it is a pity that the soul of the shadow ability Senna is not included.

The tenth track is the middle-aged male researcher who blocked Martin Brenner's gun.

Dean first released the souls of the nine Sulian people one by one, and tortured him about the next plan after the failure to snatch 11.

The result made him feel relieved.

According to Major Yuri's arrangement, no matter whether the mission last night was successful or not, the spy identities have been exposed, and most of the members will return to their homeland immediately after this operation.

A few of them continue to stay in the United States to collect intelligence, but they will move to other states other than Indiana to lurk, and they will not make a move for at least a few years.

……

After learning this information, Dean hesitated for a moment:
Although he has a different standpoint from the Sulian people, Dean appreciates their passion for the motherland, and killing them can at most gain one or two points of proficiency.

So he directly released the nine souls and let them return to Lingbo Prison.

...

The breeze blew the candles, and the candles flickered.

On the tenth way, the soul of a researcher with a bald head in a white coat and a beer belly landed in front of Dean.

Dean began to interrogate according to the divination board on the divination board,
"How long have you been working at the Hawkins lab?"

"15 years..."

The ghost's face was dull, and his planks were twitching.

Dean raised his eyebrows. He remembered that the ghost of Shelov from Sulian mentioned that there was a catastrophe in the Hawkins laboratory in 79, and the staff almost died.

"Have you personally experienced the disaster of 79 years?"

"No, I was on vacation and escaped unharmed."

"What happened to that disaster?" Dean asked curiously.

Fear flashed across the ghost's sluggish face, "At that time, someone lifted the limiter on Experimental No. 001, allowing him to restore his superpowers, and then Experimental No. 1 carried out an indiscriminate massacre of the laboratory. Only Bu Dr. Renner, Number 11, and a few survived."

"Are you serious?" Dean's face turned serious. "One experimental subject killed more than a dozen experimental subjects and a group of security guards?"

"No. 1's superpower is very powerful, and it is the source. A considerable part of the superpowers of the experimental subjects in the laboratory are copied from him."

"copy?"

"A complicated and painful process of drug and training, only a very small number of children have a very low chance of success. But it cannot be mass-produced."

It dawned on Dean, no wonder Hawkins Lab only collected children before.

"What the hell is a limiter?"

"A special device used to seal spiritual superpowers."

"You guys actually master this kind of technology, but why don't you put a limiter on 11?"

"Dr. Brenner thinks 11 is more obedient, so you don't need to wear it."

Dean nodded, "Then who lifted the limiter for No. 1?"

"I do not know."

"Let's talk about number 1."

"His name is Henry. He was brought back to the Hawkins Laboratory by the doctor in the early 60s to become the first experimental subject. He has a weird temperament, withdrawn, and even a bit anti-human."

"He was already in his 79s when he personally committed the massacre in 20. His whereabouts have been unknown since then, and he has probably fled to other places. There has been no news of him in the past two years."

"What superpower does he have?"

"The same perception and thought power as 11, but he can also absorb negative emotions to a certain extent and transform them into a steady stream of power."

"Composite superpowers."

Dean asked the mysterious No. 1 again and again, but Dr. Brenner had more information, and the bald researcher in front of him had very limited understanding.

At present, it seems that the No. 1, who is killing people, does not pose much threat to Dean. He silently digested the information he obtained before, and then changed the topic.

"In addition to the Hawkins laboratory, where are the other laboratories related to the Stargate Jedi project?"

"Unclear, all laboratories are in a state of secrecy among each other."

Dean shook his head regretfully, took out a photo of his parents from the fantasy space, and asked,

"You have worked in the Hawkins Laboratory for so many years, do you have any impression of the names Lena Lu and Guangming Lu?"

"Yes, they have participated in the mind control and brain expansion experiments in the laboratory since 60, taking LSD, and entering the sensory deprivation tank."

The sentences pieced together on the chessboard made Dean's pupils shrink and his hands trembled.

This was completely out of his expectation.

The parents of the predecessor actually participated in the abnormal experiment in the Hawkins laboratory!
Why hasn't Paque ever mentioned this?
"Why were they involved in the experiment?" Dean asked.

"Like most volunteers, for a subsidy of five hundred dollars per person."

"How often do they participate in experiments?"

"According to my understanding, from 60 to 72, the two of them would come to Hawkins to participate in an experiment every year, and then they would receive a total of [-] dollars in compensation."

Listen to this series of answers.

What my uncle once said flashed through Dean’s mind—your parents loved traveling by car, and they kept this habit after giving birth to you. Every year, they would drive past Hawkins for a few days, and then continue east or west I will take care of you for a week or two while traveling. (Chapter 109 Past Events and Hometown)

Now it seems that Lena and Guangming travel through their hometown of Hawkins every year. The trip is just a side trip, and the main purpose is to participate in the project of the Hawkins laboratory.

Even in this day and age, a thousand knives is not a small sum.

Let alone ten years ago.

But Las Vegas is expensive, and the two have to raise Dean, so it is normal for them to need money.

Dean analyzed what his parents thought at the time.

They were afraid of the upright and fiery Paque, so they never mentioned it to him.

With a slight jump in the system, the progress of the blood relationship event jumped from [-]% to [-]%.

……

But how can paranormal experiments have no side effects?
Dean took a deep breath, and inexplicably flashed before his eyes a large section of instructions in the system when he acquired his first ability "Shadow of the Past".

The predecessor, Dean Lu, was systematically described as a "cowardly, mutated" soul. (Chapter 21 The Devil in the Heart)

Where did the prefix "mutated" come from?

Dean couldn't help summoning a black smoke-like shadow, which looked more solid than the researcher's ghost, like a lifelike black 3D projection, with a calm face rather than a dull one.

"Shadow was born in 62, when Lena and Guangming had participated in the experiment for two years."

"The experiments affected their bodies and the offspring they would soon have, the real Dean Lou."

"He mutated because of this. If he was brought into the Hawkins laboratory for training like 11, he might have become a telekinetic."

The ability of "Shadow" to awaken after being upgraded to lv1 is exactly the power of telekinetics, which also proves Dean's judgment from the side.

Dean reached out and patted "Shadow" on the shoulder with emotion.

This comrade-in-arms who has been fighting side by side all the time, and his fate can be traced back to Hawkins Laboratory.

……

Dean sorted out the thoughts in his mind and continued to ask,

"Are Lena, Bright, and Teri Ives part of the same experimental project?"

"Yes...but Teri didn't join the program until the early '70s, when the drugs were more aggressive."

Dean pondered,

From 70 to 72.

The three were experimented together and formed a friendship in the process.

So here comes the point——

"After July 72... have Lena and Guangming entered the Hawkins laboratory?"

Dean asked, holding his breath.

At this point in time, the two couples saw Tai Rui for the last time, and then disappeared without a trace.

"Yes...July 7th," the scorpion twitched, and gave the answer Dean wanted, "The two of them took advantage of the opportunity of the brain-expanding experiment every year to sneak into the children's room in an attempt to help their friend Teri. Steal daughter Jane. But the operation failed, and they were arrested by Dr. Brenner and detained in the Hawkins laboratory building."

Event progress jumped to nine percent.

puff.

Dean's heart beat violently, and he guessed right, the couple had really helped Teri snatch the child.

But they have been detained in their hometown?
The answer was far beyond Dean's imagination.

he asked,
"How long have they been locked up?"

"They were locked up until 78 years."

"What did the lab do to them in the past six years?"

"One brain-expanding experiment per day." Ghost replied dully,

"Once a day?" Dean gasped.

And the calm cheeks of "Shadow" beside him began to twist, the black pupils reflected fury, and the misty body boiled like flowing magma.

Anger has substance.

"Are they healthy, are they sick or injured?"

"Healthy, just slightly neurotic from too much experimentation."

Dean breathed a sigh of relief, "What happened in 78, where did they go?"

"At that time, Teri broke into the laboratory with explosives and guns to rescue her daughter Jane and two friends, but failed. Teri suffered an excessive electric shock and became a disabled person."

"However, Lena and Guangming, who were imprisoned, took advantage of the chaos and escaped from the Hawkins laboratory together by using the phantom ability of No. 8 test subject Carly. Until now, the laboratory has not found their whereabouts."

That's right, this is exactly what Teri's sister Betsy said, Teri stormed the lab in 78!
And the parents of the predecessor took the opportunity to escape, and it is very likely that they are still alive!

And the time to escape is neither too early nor too late. If it is delayed to 79 years, it will definitely not be immune to the terrible massacre in the laboratory!
Dean let out a long sigh of relief, and the surface of "Shadow" returned to the calmness of the Black Sea.

At the same time, the event progress jumped to ten percent!
"Who is No. 8 Carly who helped Lena escape with Guangming?"

"Dark skinned, with partial Indian descent, about 13 years old this year, a girl... who can discover the deepest fears in the human heart and create frightening illusions..."

……

Dean took out the pen and paper from the fantasy space and recorded the information firmly.

Then, based on the information I learned from Teri's sister Betsy and the information I got from the researcher's ghost tonight, I sorted out the past and present lives of the Hawkins Laboratory and related people from beginning to end:
……

1960 years,
Subject 001 was brought back to the laboratory by Dr. Brenner.

Lena and Guangming joined the laboratory's mind control and brain expansion project in the same year, and would return to Hawkins Town every summer to participate in an experiment and take a considerable reward.

1962 years,
Dean Lu was born. Because his parents participated in the experiment, his soul was different from ordinary people, but he never showed it.

In early 1970,

Teri joined the Hawkins Laboratory to earn money, and became friends with volunteers Lena and Guangming of the same project.

In early 1972,

Teri was experimented on while pregnant and had a miscarriage, but she firmly believed that her daughter Jane was born successfully and was taken away by the laboratory.

In May, Teri lost a lawsuit against Hawkins Lab in order to get her daughter Jane back.

In July, Teri met with Dean's parents.

Further on: The two couples took advantage of the opportunity of the brain-expanding experiment to secretly help their friend Tai Rui regain their daughter. After failing, they were imprisoned by the laboratory.

From 72 to 78,
Teri made long preparations, while Lena and Guangming were imprisoned in the laboratory and received brain-expanding experiments every day.

1978 years,
Teri breaks into the Hawkins laboratory trying to save her daughter and friends, but after failing, she is electrocuted and becomes disabled, and she is still lying in her sister Betsy's house.

And Lena and Guangming took this opportunity to escape from the laboratory with No. 8 Carly, the phantom ability, and their whereabouts have been unknown since then.

First, the couple was imprisoned to help their friends, and then Teri was tortured and disabled in order to save them.

It's like a cycle.

1979 years,
A terrible massacre occurred in the Hawkins laboratory. The escaped subject No. 1 killed most of the people. Only 11, Dr. Brenner, and a few people survived.

But 11 also lost the memory of the past.

The whereabouts of No. 1, who started the killing spree, are unknown.

Now, early August 1981.

Su Lian spies attacked the Hawkins laboratory to snatch 11 and killed a large number of security personnel.

Brenner and the research team are forced to hide in the safe house.

Dean took advantage of the chaos and snatched 11 and brought them back to Hope's ancestral home.

……

After reviewing the record, Dean put down his pen, full of thoughts.

"Lena and Guangming escaped from the laboratory in 78, and it has been three years since then. Why have they never contacted me and Paque?"

"Are you worried about hurting us, or did you encounter some accident?"

He couldn't figure it out, but now he had two ways to continue looking for the whereabouts of the couple.

"First, find a chance to show 11 their photos, and let 11 use their sixth sense to help find someone."

"Second, first find Carly No. 8 who escaped with them, and then follow the clues to find out the news."

……

After making up his mind, Dean put away the board from the chessboard.

After a poke from Feng Rui with a flashing cold light.

The researcher's soul crumbles into pieces and disappears.

You eliminated the ghost Lear, proficiency +1, fighting lv3 (91/400)

This guy has tortured so many innocent children with various experiments, he deserves more death than Su Lian's spies.

Dean turned his head and glanced at "Shadow",
"Are you happy? New clues have been traced."

"I will do my best to cooperate with your investigation."

Ying echoed reverently, with gratitude hidden in his blurred face.

Then it turned into a strong wind and flew back to the plank.

Dean was digesting a lot of information from tonight in his mind.

While stretching his limbs, doing complex and difficult yoga exercises, he started a routine red dragon meditation exercise before going to bed every day.

"Well, I can't force 11 to help me find someone, I have to establish a good relationship and guide her."
