Chapter 229: Monster Baby
After the shadow disappeared at the end of the corridor, Sanzai leaned close to Shen Ge's ear and whispered, "Those are the patrol officers. There is one on each floor. They love to eat brains and internal organs. Stay away from them."

Shen Ge felt something was wrong when he heard this. Not to mention the patrolman, he had never seen Sanzai before. How come he showed up tonight?

Is it because we have entered the second phase of the experiment?

Did the antibodies affect his mind, causing him to see these monsters that didn't exist?

wrong!

Shen Ge quickly denied this speculation. If these monsters did not exist, then who were the monsters he killed in his last trip to the dream world?
Thinking of this, Shen Ge couldn't help but think of what Sanzai said to him when he left the ward -

"After injecting that potion, you will see some strange things. Don't worry, they are all fake. Don't be afraid..."

all fake?

"Although Sanzai clearly stated that those monsters were fake, he also mentioned that there were many guards outside... So he was under the influence of drugs and mistook the patrolmen and guards for monsters?"

Shen Ge had a "clear" memory of his "three years of advanced study in a mental hospital", so he chose psychology as an elective course in college.

He once read an article about a normal person who took psychiatric drugs for a long time and became unable to distinguish between reality and hallucinations, thus performing some strange behaviors.

This time when Shen Ge entered the dream world again, he chose to cooperate with Dr. Chen's experiment, so his "treatment" was significantly improved compared to the last time.

Before today, he even felt that there was no difference from ordinary hospitalization treatment. It was not until the experiment entered the second phase and the so-called "virus antibodies" were injected that his body showed tremendous changes.

The appearance of Sanzai and the weird atmosphere of the hospital, all these changes happened after the injection of antibodies, making it hard for him not to suspect that there was something wrong with the antibodies.

Or, was this all part of the experiment?
Sanzai didn't pay attention to the changes in Shen Ge's expression. He just listened attentively to the movements deep in the corridor to prevent the patrolman from making a surprise attack.

After confirming that it was safe, Sanzi pulled Shen Ge through the corridor, walked down the stairs, and finally stopped in front of an operating room with double doors: "I heard that they are doing some horrible experiments, do you want to go and take a look?"

Without waiting for Shen Ge to respond, Sanzi made a "keep your voice down" gesture to him, pushed the door open a crack, and walked in first.

Shen Ge remembered this laboratory, where a naked woman was tied to the operating table, her skull removed, and her bloodshot brain still beating slightly. And in her stomach, a fusion of a "weird man" was being cultivated.

Sanzai observed the operating table with great interest for a while, then pushed a chair over from the side, climbed up and stood on the chair to observe the woman.

Seeing that Shen Ge didn't follow him, he waved at Shen Ge and urged him in a low voice: "What are you standing there for? Come quickly."

That look didn't seem to be urging Shen Ge to see the horrific anatomy, but more like sharing a new thing, an interesting toy with him.

Shen Ge had experienced Sanzai's "adventure" once and was no longer surprised by his weird psychology. He climbed up the chair and prepared to observe this weirdo woman up close.

The woman opened her eyes, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes.

She was a very beautiful woman with fair skin, but there was a horrific wound from her chin to her lower abdomen, with obvious stitching marks on it.

This scar gave people the feeling that the woman's stomach had been cut open and then sewn back together, and her "stomach" had a bulge, about twenty centimeters high.

It's like a pregnant woman, but her "pregnant" position is her stomach.

thump.

thump.

thump.

Just then, with a burst of hurried footsteps, a group of people came towards the operating room. Sanzai was stunned and quickly pulled Shen Ge away.

"Oh no, we've been discovered. Let's go! If we are caught by them, we will definitely be fed to bugs. You don't want to eat bugs, do you?" Sanzai's pale expression revealed a rare hint of nervousness.

The sound was getting closer and closer, and seemed to be almost at the door. Sanzai pulled Shen Ge and wanted to hide under the bed, but Shen Ge remembered that they were discovered last time they hid under the bed.

"No, they will definitely check the experimental subjects soon. We will be discovered if we hide here! Go to that bed!" Shen Ge dragged Sanzai to the bed against the wall where some experimental equipment was piled up. Then he pulled down the white cloth to block the edge of the bed, and crawled behind the boxes stuffed under the bed with Sanzai.

Before the two of them could hide, footsteps entered the operating room.

Fortunately, those people did not notice the presence of Shen Ge and Sanzi, and they surrounded the bed and began to conduct various examinations and experiments on the female monster.

"The embryos were implanted and no rejection was found for the time being."

"How much did Black Mist inject?"

"Increase the dose."

"If rejection occurs, use antibody No. 3."

"..."

The experiment lasted for more than three hours, and this time, because Shen Ge and Sanzi did not hide under the female monster's bed, they were able to hide safely until the end of the operation.

"Huh, it seems like they've left?" Sanzai heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the footsteps outside the door getting farther and farther away.

Shen Ge said: "For safety reasons, wait a little longer until they are far away before going out."

The two waited in the operating room for another half an hour, and after confirming that there was no sound outside, they crawled out from behind the box.

"You are still quite calm?" Sanzai looked at Shen Ge and said with a smile.

Shen Ge learned about Sanzai's life experience through the monster in the mirror. Although their experience was pitiful and sad, as the original body, he really couldn't feel "sad".

Because strictly speaking, Shen Ge is the biggest victim in this experiment.

Therefore, when Shen Ge faced Sanzai, he always felt awkward. He was not even sure whether the friendly "Sanzai" in front of him would be the monster in the mirror who would want to kill him more than ten years later.

"and many more!"

When Shen Ge was still thinking about the problem of the strange man in the mirror and Sanzai, something suddenly flashed through his mind, and he felt that he seemed to have overlooked some key information!

According to the monster in the mirror, since Shen Ge's "experimental subject" has very high research value, the researchers of the Monster Association created a large number of "Sanzai" to act as guinea pigs for more dangerous experiments.

but!

Shen Ge had only been in Rongshan Mental Hospital for a few months, and the Monster Association had already successfully cloned "Sanzai"? Shen Ge thought about it and found that this was impossible. Putting aside whether the current technology could achieve such a high level of cloning technology, Sanzai was no different from a normal ten-year-old child. Even if he was given hormones, it would be impossible for a cloned embryo to grow to be exactly like him in a few months, right?
Could it be that "Sanzai" already existed before he came to Rongshan Mental Hospital?
If this is the case, then the remarks made by the monster in the mirror are obviously problematic. Unless Shen Ge is also a "clone", all of this cannot be explained at all.

While Shen Ge was still thinking about the problem of Sanzai and the monster in the mirror, the woman on the hospital bed, who was staring at the ceiling with empty eyes, slowly turned her head to look at him and Sanzai.

Then, the woman’s lips moved. In a soft, intermittent voice, as if she would die at any moment, she said to them, “Kill… me.”

"Huh?" Sanzai was obviously stunned when he heard the woman's words. He subconsciously looked at Shen Ge and asked, "Did she speak just now?"

Shen Ge nodded, walked closer to the operating table and looked at the woman. He was about to say something, but heard the woman repeat it again: "...Kill me."

The woman's limbs were firmly fixed on the operating table. Unlike three hours ago when Shen Ge first came to the operating room, the woman's bulging belly had not changed much. But after being treated by those white coats, the woman's bulging belly was beating "thump thump" like a beating heart.

"kill me."

Seeing that Shen Ge and Sanzi had no reaction, the woman repeated it again. The two men heard a hint of pleading in her tone.

"She... wants us to kill her?" Sanzai looked at Shen Ge nervously. Obviously, he had never heard of such an outrageous request.

Shen Ge looked at the woman and asked, "Do you know...what's in her belly?"

The woman moved her head slightly, as if nodding, and then looked at Sanzai beside her, the meaning was self-evident.

Shen Ge's eyes darkened, and he raised his hand to pull out the tubes from the woman one by one. Sanzi swallowed subconsciously and muttered, "You are much braver than me. I only dare to run around in the inpatient department. You actually dared to touch their experimental subjects. Aren't you afraid of... being fed to insects?"

Shen Ge was about to say something, but he saw the woman's lips moving a few times and she said two words with difficulty: "Thank you... Thank you."

However, before she could finish her words, she suddenly let out a groan of pain, and then her bulging abdomen slowed down its beating. The sutured wound slowly broke open at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then a piece of "stomach" squeezed through the wound and "sat" up from the woman's body.

Then, with a soft "pop" sound, a strong little hand tore open the thin layer of stomach from the inside of the stomach, like tearing apart the skin wrapping itself.

When those small hands completely opened the "stomach", it turned out to be a "baby". Judging from the size, it was not a newborn, but a one or two-year-old toddler.

"He, he, he he he!" Sanzai looked at the baby in front of him who looked 70% similar to himself, and was so scared that he stuttered.

Shen Ge remembered that the last time he used a scalpel to cut the woman's throat. Only after he killed her completely did the monster in her stomach wake up.

This time he didn't want to get rid of the monster too early, so he just pulled out the tubes on the woman's body and was about to find an anesthetic or something to inject her with, but who knew that the monster in her stomach woke up ahead of time?

At this time, the "baby" sitting on the woman's body slowly stretched out his hand towards Shen Ge, tilted his head, and showed a creepy smile: "Found you."

"what--"

"what!!!"

Shen Ge didn't react much, but Sanzai next to him screamed in fear. He was already frightened by this strange baby who looked extremely similar to himself, and now hearing the other party say horrible words in a sinister voice, his psychological defenses were completely broken.

"Let's go!" Shen Ge grabbed Sanzai and ran towards the door of the operating room. He knew that although this monster baby had just been born, the strange energy in its body was rapidly mutating and would soon transform into a level 2 monster.

Although Shen Ge has mastered the power of "materialization" in the dream world, exposing his strength too early is not a good thing. This also means that this dream journey is about to come to an end, but he still has many doubts in his heart, which requires time to verify.

After Shen Ge and Sanzi ran out of the operating room, they chose to run upstairs. As soon as they reached the stairs, they heard shouting from the other end of the corridor.

Then the whole floor was filled with shrill alarms, the red lights were so bright that it dazzled people's eyes, and soon a team of fully armed soldiers led by white coats rushed into the operating room.

Shen Ge and Sanzi ran to the top floor. The door leading to the roof was sealed and tied with iron chains, and the surrounding windows were also sealed with wooden boards.

All floors downstairs were on alert, and it seemed that guards were heading upstairs, but with the strength of two ten-year-old children, it was unlikely that they could tear down the wooden boards blocking the windows.

"Let's go, I know another way." Sanzai was about to take Shen Ge downstairs, but was pulled back.

Shen Ge asked: "Do you want to go to other floors through the ventilation duct in the bathroom?"

"How do you know?" Sanzai was a little surprised.

Shen Ge said: "Don't worry, their focus at this time must be on the monster in the operating room, they shouldn't come upstairs."

"But what if he comes up?"

"First of all, you're not sure if you can get away. Secondly, don't you think it's strange that such a large inpatient ward doesn't have any surveillance cameras in either the operating room or the corridor? Most importantly, that woman is an important experimental material, so someone should be assigned to guard her, but there's not even a guard around."

Sanzai was stunned when he heard this, and blinked his eyes. It was obvious that his thinking could not keep up with Shen Ge's adult thinking: "You are right, so what?"

"..." Shen Ge didn't know how to explain, so he just asked him to hide quietly with him at the door of the rooftop.

I don’t know how long I waited. Shen Ge and Sanzi sat together, gradually feeling sleepy, and fell asleep.

Not knowing how long he had slept, Shen Ge vaguely heard someone talking next to him. The voice sounded familiar, and it seemed to be Doctor Chen.

Shen Ge opened his eyes tiredly. The fluorescent light on the ceiling made him feel a little uncomfortable. He frowned subconsciously, and then heard Doctor Chen ask: "Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"

Am I...back?

Was he discovered hiding at the door of the rooftop and brought back, or... was this all a dream?

Shen Ge used "fatigue" and "discomfort" as an excuse, and quickly went over what happened last night in his mind, thinking about how to answer Dr. Chen.

After much thought, he decided to blame everything on a "dream" and answer "truthfully" in the form of a dream.

"Doctor Chen, I... seemed to have had a strange dream. In the dream, a little boy who looked very much like me appeared. He took me to play hide-and-seek in the hospital. Finally, we ran to a place that looked like an operating room. Inside, I saw a pregnant woman with a big belly. Unexpectedly, the pregnant woman's belly suddenly exploded, and a strange baby ran out..."

"And then?" Dr. Chen asked.

Shen Ge pretended to hesitate, as if he was really thinking about the experience in the dream: "We were chased by a group of monsters and hid next to the locked door on the rooftop. We were too tired, so we leaned against it to rest, and then we woke up."

"Do you still remember what that strange baby looked like?" Dr. Chen asked again.

Shen Ge tried to describe it, and then a man in a white coat came in pushing a dining cart with a covered silver plate on it.

Doctor Chen lifted the lid of the silver plate. In the center of the plate, a bloody baby curled up in a ball. "Is this what it looks like?"
