Chapter 231: The Bullied

"Subject 17, what are you doing kneeling on the ground? Get back to your room quickly!" A white security guard with a belly walked up to Naimi Xisi, frowned and cursed a couple of words.

Naimi Xisi's face froze for a moment, Subject 17?

Yes, I'm Subject 17 now.

He, who appeared suddenly, was taken under the lab's control; having lost his memory, he was like a blank adult child, and no matter what the suited agents asked, he couldn't answer.

If it weren't for Doctor Bu Lun Na, who happened to detect his superpower and took him in, this simulacrum would probably have been terminated in the chaotic consciousness long ago.

It was just a coincidence that his superpower was discovered.

That day, as usual, he sat dumbfounded in the interrogation room being questioned; the agents finally could no longer tolerate his seemingly feigned stupidity, which was actually genuine, and injected him with a truth serum.

The truth serum entered his brain, triggering a Mana rampage; instinctively, he instantly compressed the two guards in the interrogation room into a meat lump, and even the room itself was shattered by the Mana storm.

Ordinary mortals without talent cannot see the glow of Mana, and Doctor Bu Lun Na consequently mistook him for being like the other children in the lab, possessing superpowers.

Naimi Xisi searched his memory and discovered that besides him, there were three other children in the lab: two girls and a boy, one of whom was Subject 11.

These three children all possessed telekinesis, ultra‑long‑range psychic projection and other superpowers, and had been studied in the lab for years, which is why Doctor Bu Lun Na accepted his superpower without any surprise.

Since Naimi Xisi was found to have superpowers and remained in a state of obeying orders without being able to speak, Doctor Bu Lun Na had him undergo daily superpower training together with the other three children.

Not to mention, perhaps because the truth serum affected his brain, Naimi Xisi, with only simple intellect, instinctively learned how to wield Mana, which further convinced Doctor Bu Lun Na of his superpower.

The only special one was Subject 11.

It seemed she had suffered an accident, forgetting all past memories; when she first saw Naimi Xisi she didn't recognize him, and Naimi Xisi was also dazed, so the two spent a month interacting like strangers.

Naimi Xisi was sorting his memories; the guard standing before him, seeing this fool ignore him, became angry and kicked him outright.

"I told you to stand up, you damn stinky fool, you—ahhh!!!"

The guard's body suddenly froze, his eyes rolled continuously, and his throat seemed stuck, emitting only a weak hoarse roar.

Naimi Xisi stood up expressionlessly, coldly staring at the mortal before him who seemed oblivious to death.

During this month, those guards treated him as a fool, beating and scolding him whenever displeased, and he himself was foolish enough that every time he was hit he would curl up and cry out in fear, "ahhh".

Especially, that damned Doctor Bu Lun Na actually let him address him

as "Father"!

A mortal, daring to have the True Dragon call him "Father"!

Fortunately, his prior condition was no different from a mute, so the word "Father" never actually left his mouth.

Naimi Xisi slowly paced forward, approaching his cheek.

He whispered softly by his cheek, "Tell me, who do you call a fool?"

The white guard stared at him in terror, his eyes full of pleading.

Naimi Xisi gently looked at him and said softly, "Go, pull out your gun, kill everyone you see."

The white guard, like a puppet, stiffly drew his gun and walked slowly toward the corridor.

Having dealt with a small shrimp, Naimi Xisi didn't feel happy; instead he frowned and tallied his status. Spellcasting Points: 0

Mana Points: 5

Passing through the Throne Gate exhausted his magical power and Mana, but in this new world, his magic was not replenished!

This lab, no, perhaps the entire world, has its Magic Net fallen into silence!

On the contrary, Mana is still recovering normally, after all Psychic Ability is a power mined from within, created from nothing, and is not affected by the Magic Net.

However, this body is merely a simulacrum; restoring Mana to its full peak takes a month, and in this lab he wastes Mana daily on those childish superpower training courses.

"Damn, I have to get out; I can't rely on spells for now, Mana also needs time to recover, this lab isn't a place to stay long." Naimi Xisi's face darkened.

In the primary material plane, the Age of Dharma Decline worlds lacking spells are not few; the crystal‑barrier system where Lajiate resides is one such.

By sacrificing life force, Naimi Xisi can still cast spells, but in this lab, aside from steel and plastic, not a blade of grass grows. This makes even a clever cook struggle without rice.

And Mana is likewise unreliable; if he maintains his disguise, he cannot accumulate Mana, and the daily superpower training drains him dry.

This is why he just now fell out with that white guard.

He spent a precious 3 Mana points to cast Suggestion Technique on the white guard; if the guard's shooting were decent, that pistol could kill many.

!

With his current meager Mana, he cannot directly use Mana to slash his way out; he can only employ this lever‑like method.

He sneered as the guard reached the corridor's far corner, drew his pistol and fired, instantly eliciting several screams.

The next moment, the entire lab lit up with flickering red light, emitting a shrill alarm.

Naimi Xisi frowned at this, "Did the security react that fast? I was hoping they'd kill a few more."

But soon, he realized things weren't that simple.

From afar came a continuous barrage of rifle fire, not aimed at that guard but somewhere farther.

The guard had just entered the corner, his figure vanished, and Naimi Xisi heard a huge "thud" followed by a series of nauseating chewing sounds.

"What's going on?"

Naimi Xisi felt uneasy; he sensed something beyond his control had happened, and the lab was probably in trouble.

And at that moment, his eyes widened; he seemed to see something unbelievable.

Spellcasting Points: 0—0.001—0.002

The magic that had been dry since arriving in this world began to recover, albeit extremely minutely and slowly!

"How can this be! The Magic Net here is clearly in absolute silence!"

Naimi Xisi shouted, Juan Ce Long, being the Magic Net's darling, possesses the keenest perception of the Magic Net, yet just now he discovered that the dead, tomb‑like Magic Net had produced an imperceptible ripple!

"Aaa! Help, monster!"
