Chapter 731: then translation of chapter title

Number 99067, mission evaluation: perfect

Inside the high-tech laboratory, several researchers admired Lin An lying in the simulation pod.

"He's truly a perfect soldier."

"Even if his lower body is blown to pieces, he can still struggle to eliminate the enemy."

"Out of 37 missions, he completed 36 perfectly; only once, due to lack of weapons and equipment, he died under a barrage of white phosphorus while evading."

Another researcher in a white uniform walked expressionlessly to the simulation pod and replaced the nutrient tube.

"It's quite good."

"His mental state is already somewhat unstable."

"I suggest we start the emotion test directly."

"No matter how excellently a solo mission is completed, in certain scenarios it's still just cannon fodder."

Hearing his colleague's evaluation, the researcher following behind paused.

"Are we starting already?"

"His mental state already shows signs of collapse; we've been running simulation missions too frequently lately."

"No one can endure the memory wipe after each simulation."

"Especially, there's hardly any time to recover."

"Should we... slow down a bit..."

Thinking about the upcoming emotion test in the plan, he glanced at Lin An with some reluctance.

The simulation missions are already extreme enough.

The subjects of the experiment can almost encounter every kind of brutal death.

Blown apart, headshot, high-temperature burns, sulfuric acid corrosion inside a chemical plant.

For efficiency, they arrange a specific death method for the test subject to experience after the mission is completed.

Even hell would be no worse than this.

Watching Lin An lying in the simulation pod suddenly twitch, as if about to wake up.

He still hurriedly injected a tube of blue liquid into Lin An's arm.

Lin An, who had just disengaged from the simulation and hadn't even had time to be shocked at finding himself in the lab, fell back into a coma.

"It's an order from the high level."

"The warrior we need must be a perfect body capable of enduring any extreme event."

"Mental collapse?"

"If he can't make it through, then he's just a defective product."

"For the plan to succeed, sacrifice is inevitable."

The scene shifts.

This time the scene is no longer a brutal battlefield, but a bustling Linjiang City filled with the aroma of fireworks.

("It has begun…")

The Second Will spoke lightly, his eyes filled with deep coldness:

("From now on, these are your sealed memories.")

("Emotion test…")

No one spoke.

Lin An looked at the peaceful scene, and an inexplicable sense of panic rose in his heart.

He instinctively turned his head toward the Second Will, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

"What is the emotion test?!"

"Why am I feeling afraid?!"

No answer.

The scene began to shift, finally settling on a bright home.

It was his former home.

Linjiang City, He Yuan Residential Area.

"Eat more vegetables; Mom took a liking to a girl yesterday and will take you out to meet her someday."

"Don't stay cooped up at home all day, young man; go out more."

Lin's mother chided him, her chopsticks nonstop adding food to Lin An's plate.

"Mom... I can't eat all this..."

Having just returned from discharge, Lin An helplessly watched his mother, who feared he would starve.

Although she is a bit naggy.

But after not seeing them for years, he truly misses his family.

Although Mom likes to nag, this feeling of home is truly reassuring.

Chatting and laughing, the satiated Lin An contentedly lay on the sofa to rest.

The sun shone brightly; everything was so wonderful.

He turned his head to watch his mother washing dishes and sighed.

Perhaps he really should consider finding a partner; otherwise Mom will keep nagging every day.

Seeing a strand of white hair on his mother, and the photo of himself always kept in her wallet.

Lin An couldn't help but feel a bit guilty.

From a third-person perspective.

Lin An's true body trembled with both hands, as if wanting to touch the figure washing dishes in the kitchen.

His mother had left long ago; the woman in the simulation was a fabrication based on his memory.

But both her appearance and demeanor perfectly matched his fantasy of his mother.

The next second.

"Bang!"

Before Lin An could touch that figure in his memory.

A bullet fired from outside the window instantly pierced the woman's head.

Lying on the sofa, Lin An stared blankly at the splash of blood, as if his thoughts had stopped.

Bowls and chopsticks fell to the floor.

The figure in the kitchen slowly collapsed.

"No!!"

Despair.

Rushing into the kitchen, Lin An almost collapsed while looking at his mother lying on the ground, his eyes bloodshot.

He was almost going insane.

No one could watch a close relative die before their eyes and remain calm.

Without giving him time to suffer, a sudden, urgent pounding on the door sounded.

"Kill him!"

His hands and feet were ice-cold.

From a third-person perspective, Lin An asked the Second Will with a hoarse voice:

"Is this the emotion test...?"

The Second Will slowly nodded, indifferently watching the battle in the scene.

("That's right.")

("The emotion test is to test whether I can still maintain combat power under extreme emotions.")

("Despair. Anger, pity, ecstasy, madness, sorrow...")

("To test the effect, I personally watched everyone around me die.")

("I have seen AnXia burned to a ruin in front of me, begging me to end her life.")

("I have seen Jing Tian thrown into a meat grinder, and I could only piece together his body from the minced flesh.")

("In one scenario, I saw Lin Mother working a part-time job at the vegetable market to earn my tuition, beaten severely by a gang of thugs; I had no money to treat her, and could only watch her die in the hospital bed.")

("That test was merely to see if I would break the law to obtain money when I had no way out.")

("I have also seen myself framed and sent to prison; my wife waited with our child for my release, but on the day I got out, she was hit and killed.")

("And this is to test whether I would choose revenge.")

("I have been a beggar, a blind person, a disabled person, a worker, and even a completely paralyzed wreck.")

("In the simulation experiment, they tried every means to test, under different lives, whether I would choose to go to extremes.")

His voice was ice-cold, a piercing chill.

The Second Will stared fixedly at the ever-changing scene:

"A thousand tests, a thousand cycles."

"Not once did they give me hope, not once did they give me a chance to be saved!!"

"In the test, they destroy my life like gods, wantonly!"

"They killed my father, killed my mother, killed my brothers! Killed my friends! Killed all emotions!"

His voice was blood-soaked, nearly mad.

The Second Will suddenly turned his head toward Lin An and roared:

"They made me the most despised! The lowest of society! The object of everyone's mockery and humiliation!"

"They repeatedly trampled my self-esteem, destroyed my will!"

"They deprived me of my power, deprived me of the right to resist!"

"Every time I wanted revenge, every time I wanted to resist, every time I wanted to change,"

"they would, like toying with a mouse, forcibly destroy all my efforts!"
