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 is its special meaning?"
Hope waved at the little girl as kindly as possible, but his rough facial features and the sloppy stubble around his mouth made him look like a big bear standing upright.
The little girl couldn't help but shrink her neck and hesitantly rolled up her left sleeve to reveal a tattoo of "011" on the inside of her wrist.
Hope looked dazed for a moment, then roared angrily into the air,
"The beasts at Hawkins Lab locked up a child for human experimentation and branded them with numbers like animals? They deserved to be attacked!"
"11, don't be afraid. You can live in the house with peace of mind for the next period of time. No one can force you to leave!"
Hope promised emphatically. Seeing that the girl was really scared, he gave Dean a look.
"go to bed early."
"Don't close the door!" Seeing the two people turning to leave, 11 begged,
"OK...I'll leave you some light." Dean left a crack in the bedroom door.
"Dean, tomorrow?" She clutched the quilt, her trembling voice full of expectation,
"I remember. I will take you out if I have the chance. Good night."
…
Dean followed Hope into the living room.
"Let's start making it up," Hope crossed her arms, her previous amiability gone, her expression as cold as a popsicle, "How did you get her back from the lab?"
"I'll make a long story short," Dean said with a sincere face, "I have been observing the laboratory every day because I think the disappearance of my parents may have something to do with it. But last night I happened to find a group of people storming the laboratory. "
"Sulian people?" Hope asked, obviously knowing part of the truth.
"They spoke Russian, maybe they were Sulian people? One of them took the unconscious 11 and ran into the forest, and I happened to bump into him. There was no reason not to accept the gift that was delivered to the door, so I killed him and took 11 back. ." Dean concluded lightly.
Hope recalled the boy's skills. It was indeed not difficult to deal with a gunman, but——
"You fooled me into thinking I was 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 bump into 11?"
"Then what do you think?" Dean looked at Hope without flinching, "I am with the Sulian people, or with the lab people."
"I'm asking you," Hope looked at him with blazing eyes, "I just want the truth."
"Whether you believe it or not, tonight's lab accident didn't have a dollar to do with me! I was just lucky enough." Dean hooked Hope's shoulder, "And you just need to know that I kept my promise and took the girl You brought your ancestral home back to your ancestral home, and by the way, 11 is Terry’s daughter, Jane!”
The word daughter made Hope's face soften slightly;
"Chief, understand the situation clearly. We are both on the same front. Neither of us can escape from this incident. So we must try our best to hide the whereabouts of 11." Dean said with warning, "Once she If the news is leaked, 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 expression changing under the light. After a long time, he smiled helplessly at Dean, and finally there was a little more understanding in his smile.
"What you said makes sense. Currently, Su Lian is taking the blame, and the laboratory didn't expect that Eleven is still under its nose, 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 Terry. But don’t mention 11 outside, not even to your uncle."
Dean stretched out his hand to shake his hand, "Of course, but don't buy clothes, snacks, toys, etc. for 11 in the town on your own initiative, so as not to be discovered by someone who is interested, especially when you are on the phone, be careful. monitor."
"Don't worry while I do the work." Hope nodded and patted his forehead tiredly, "I still have to go back to the police station to cooperate with the investigation. You take care of her first, and I'll come back tomorrow morning."
The discussion is over.
When Hope walked to door 11, he glanced inside. Looking at the little face sleeping peacefully, it seemed as if he saw the face in his memory. A gentle smile couldn't help but grin at the corner of his mouth.
"Good night little one, have sweet dreams."
Hope drives away.
…
Dean closed the bedroom door.
After stabilizing Hope and solving 11's accommodation problem, there is still a lot of interrogation work to be done.
He took out the tablet and felt the ten souls inside.
The Nine Paths belong to the Sulian people, but unfortunately they do not include the soul of the shadow ability user Sena.
The tenth channel is the middle-aged male researcher who blocked Martin Brenner's gun.
Dean first released the souls of nine Sulian people one by one, and tortured them about the next plan after the failure to snatch 11.
The result was a relief.
According to Major Yuri's arrangement, regardless of whether last night's mission was successful or not, the identity of the spy has been exposed, and most members will return to the motherland immediately after this operation.
A few will continue to stay in the United States to collect intelligence, but will move to other states outside of Indiana to lurk, and will not take action for at least a few years.
…
After learning this information, Dean hesitated for a moment:
Although his stance was different from that of the Sulians, Dean admired their passion for the motherland, and killing them would at most gain one or two points of proficiency.
So he directly released these nine souls and allowed them to return to Limbo Prison.
…
The breeze blew through the candles, and the candlelight swayed.
At the tenth track, the soul of a bald researcher in a white coat with a beer belly fell in front of Dean.
Dean pressed the scepter on the divination board and began to interrogate.
"How long have you worked at Hawkins Lab?"
"15 years…"
The ghost's face was dull, and the shackles were swaying.
Dean raised his eyebrows. He remembered that the Sulian Serov ghost mentioned that there was a catastrophic disaster in Hawkins Laboratory in 1979, and almost all the staff died.
"Have you personally experienced the disaster of 1979?"
"No, I was on vacation at the time and escaped."
"What happened to that disaster?" Dean asked curiously,
Fear flashed across the ghost's dull face, "At that time, someone removed the limiter on Experimental Subject No. 001 and restored his superpowers. Then Experimental Subject No. 1 launched an indiscriminate massacre in the laboratory. Only Bu Dr. Renner, No. 11, a few people survived."
"Are you serious?" Dean looked serious, "One experimental subject killed a dozen experimental subjects and a group of security guards?"
"No. 1's superpowers are very powerful and are the source. Quite a few of the superpowers of the experimental subjects in the laboratory were copied from him."
"copy?"
"A complicated and painful process of medicine and training, only a very small number of children have a very low chance of success. But it cannot be mass-produced."
Dean suddenly realized, no wonder the Hawkins Laboratory only collected children in the past.
"What's a limiter?"
"A special device used to seal spiritual superpowers."
"You actually have this kind of technology, but why don't you put a limiter on 11?"
"Dr. Brenner believes that 11 is more obedient and does not need to be worn."
Dean nodded, "Then who removed the limiter for No. 1?"
"I have no idea."
"Let's talk about No. 1."
"His name is Henry. He was brought back to the Hawkins Laboratory by the doctor in the early 1960s and became the first experimental subject. He has an eccentric personality, is withdrawn, and is even a little anti-human."
"He was already in his twenties when he personally caused the massacre in 1979. Since then, his whereabouts are unknown. He has probably fled to other places. There has been no news of him in the past two years."
"What superpowers has he mastered?"
"The same perception and telekinesis as 11, but he can also absorb negative emotions to a certain extent and transform them into a steady stream of power."
"A composite superpower."
Dean asked the mysterious No. 1 again and again, but Dr. Brenner had more information, and the bald researcher in front of him had extremely limited knowledge.
At present, it seems that No. 1, who went on a killing spree, does not pose much of a threat to Dean. He silently digested the information he had obtained before and changed the topic.
"Except Hawkins Laboratory, where are the other laboratories related to the Stargate Jedi Project?"
"It's not clear, all labs are kept secret from each other."
Dean shook his head regretfully, took out the photos of his parents from the fantasy space, and asked,
"Having 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 laboratory mind control and brain expansion experiments since the 1960s, taking LSD and entering sensory deprivation tanks."
The sentences pieced together on the chessboard made Dean's pupils shrink slightly and his hands tremble.
This was completely unexpected.
The predecessor’s parents actually participated in the perverted experiments in Hawkins Laboratory!
Why did Paquet never mention this?
"Why did they participate in the experiment?" Dean asked,
"Like most volunteers, for a stipend of five hundred dollars each."
“How often do they participate in experiments?”
"According to my understanding, from 1960 to 1972, both of them came to Hawkins to participate in an experiment every year, and then received a total reward of one thousand dollars."
Listen to this series of answers.
What his uncle once said flashed through Dean's mind - your parents love road trips, and they continued this habit after they gave birth to you. Every year they would drive by Hawkins and stay for a few days, and then continue east or west. I'll help take care of you when you travel for a week or two. (Chapter 109 Past Events and Hometown)
Now it seems that Lena and Guangming pass by their hometown of Hawkins every year when traveling. The trip is just a side trip, and participating in the Hawkins Laboratory project is the main purpose.
Even in this day and age, a thousand dollars is a lot of money.
Let alone ten years ago.
The consumption in Las Vegas is high, and the two of them have to raise Dean, so it's normal for them to need money.
Dean analyzed his parents' thoughts at the time.
They were afraid that Paqui, who had an upright and fiery personality, would worry, so they never mentioned it to him.
The system jumped slightly, and the progress of Event Bloodline jumped from 7% to 8%.
…
But how can a supernatural experiment have no side effects?
Dean exhaled heavily, and a large paragraph of instructions in the system when he obtained his first ability "Shadow of the Past" inexplicably flashed before his eyes.
The predecessor, Dean Lu, was described by the system as a "cowardly, mutated" soul. (Chapter 21 The Demon Within)
Where does the prefix "mutated" come from?
Dean couldn't help but summon a black smoke-like shadow. It looked more solid than the researcher's ghost, like a lifelike black 3D projection, with a calm face rather than a dull look.
"Shadow was born in 1962, when Lena and Light had already participated in the experiment for two years."
"The experiment affected their bodies and the offspring they gave birth to shortly after, the real Dean Lew."
"He mutated as a result. If he was taken to the Hawkins Laboratory for training like Eleven, he might have become a telepath."
The ability awakened after "Shadow" reaches level 1 is telekinesis, which also proves Dean's judgment from the side.
Dean reached out his hand and patted "Shadow" on the shoulder with emotion.
The fate of this comrade who has always fought side by side can be traced back to the Hawkins Laboratory.
…
Dean sorted out the thoughts in his mind and continued to ask,
"Are Lena, Light, and Terry Ives involved in the same experimental project?"
"Yes...but Terry only joined the project in the early 1970s, and the drugs she took at that time were more radical."
Dean thought about it,
From 1970 to 1972.
The three were experimented together and formed a friendship in the process.
Then here comes the point——
"After July 1972...Have Lena and Guangming entered Hawkins Laboratory?"
Dean asked, catching his breath.
At this point in time, the two couples met Terry for the last time, and then disappeared without a trace.
"Yes... July 25th," the board turned, giving the answer Dean wanted. "The two of them took advantage of the annual brain expansion experiment to sneak into the children's room in an attempt to help their friend Terry. Stealing out their daughter Jane. But the operation failed, and they were arrested by Dr. Brenner’s men and imprisoned in the Hawkins Experimental Building.”
The event progress jumped to nine percent.
Plop.
Dean's heart beat violently. He guessed correctly. The couple had really helped Terry snatch the child.
But they have been detained in their hometown?
The answer was far beyond Dean's imagination.
he asked,
"How long were they held?"
"They were imprisoned until 1978."
"What has the laboratory done to them in the past six years?"
"A brain expansion experiment every day." The ghost replied dully,
"Once a day?" Dean gasped.
The calm cheeks of the "shadow" beside him began to twist, the dark pupils reflected rage, and the mist-like body boiled like flowing magma.
Anger has substance.
"Are they in good health? Are they sick or injured?"
"Very healthy, just a little neurotic after undergoing too many experiments."
Dean breathed a sigh of relief, "What happened in 1978? Where did they go?"
"At that time, Terry broke into the laboratory with explosives and firearms in an attempt to rescue her daughter Jane and two friends. However, she failed. Terry suffered an overdose of electric shock and became a disabled person."
"But the imprisoned Lena and Guangming took advantage of the chaos and escaped from the Hawkins Laboratory together by using the illusion ability of Experiment No. 8 Carly. Until now, the laboratory has not found their whereabouts."
Yes, this is exactly the same as what Terry's sister Betsy said. In 1978, Terry attacked the laboratory!
The parents of the predecessor took the opportunity to escape and are very likely still alive!
And the time to escape is neither too early nor too late. If it is delayed to 1979, there will be no way to survive the terrible massacre in the laboratory!
Dean let out a long sigh of relief, and "Shadow"'s body surface returned to the calmness of the Black Sea.
At the same time, the event progress jumped to 10%!
"Who is Carly No. 8 who assisted Lena and Guangming to escape?"
"Dark skinned, with part Indian ancestry, about 13 years old this year, the girl...can explore the deepest fears in human hearts and create frightening illusions..."
…
Dean took out the pen and paper from the fantasy space and wrote down the information firmly.
Then, based on the information previously learned from Terry’s sister Betsy and the information asked from the ghost of this researcher tonight, I sorted out the past and present lives of Hawkins Laboratory and related characters from beginning to end:
…
1960,
Experimental Subject No. 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 returned to Hawkins every summer to participate in an experiment and receive considerable rewards.
1962,
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,
Terry joined the Hawkins Laboratory to make money, and met and became friends with Lena and Guangming, volunteers for the same project.
In early 1972,
Terry underwent an experiment while pregnant and ended up with a miscarriage, but she firmly believed that her daughter Jane was successfully born and was taken away by the laboratory.
In May, Terry lost the lawsuit against Hawkins Laboratory in order to regain her daughter Jane.
In July, Terri met with Dean's parents.
Further on: The two couples took advantage of the brain expansion experiment to secretly help their friend Terry get her daughter back. After failing, they were imprisoned in the laboratory.
From 1972 to 1978,
Terry made long preparations, while Lena and Guangming were imprisoned in the laboratory and underwent brain expansion experiments every day.
1978,
Terry broke into Hawkins Laboratory in an attempt to rescue her daughter and friends. After failing, she was electrocuted and became a cripple. She is still lying in her sister Betsy's home.
Lena and Guangming took this opportunity to escape from the laboratory with illusionist No. 8 Carly, and their whereabouts are unknown since then.
First, the two couples were imprisoned for helping their friends, and then Terry was tortured and became a disabled person in order to save them.
It's like a cycle.
1979,
A horrific massacre occurred in the Hawkins Laboratory. The escaped Experimental Subject No. 1 killed most of the people. Only 11, Dr. Brenner, and a few people survived.
But 11 also lost his past memory.
The whereabouts of No. 1, who went on a killing spree, are unknown.
Now, early August 1981.
Sulian spies attacked Hawkins Laboratory to steal 11, killing a large number of security personnel.
Brenner and the research team were forced to hide in a safe house.
Dean took advantage of the chaos and snatched 11 away, taking it back to Hope's ancestral home.
…
After reviewing the record, Dean put down his pen, thinking a lot.
"It has been three years since Lena and Guangming escaped from the laboratory in 1978. Why have they never contacted Paqui and me?"
"Are you worried that it will implicate us, or did you encounter some accident?"
He couldn't figure it out, but now he had two ways to continue searching for the whereabouts of the two couples.
"First, find an opportunity to show 11 their photos and let 11 use their sixth sense to help find them."
"Second, first find Carly No. 8 who escaped with them, and then follow the clues to find out the information."
…
Making up his mind, Dean put away the chess board from the chessboard.
After a sharp stab with flashing cold light.
The researcher's soul turned into fragments and disappeared.
You destroyed Ghost Leal, proficiency +1, fighting level 3 (91/400)
This guy tortured so many innocent children through various experiments, and he was more worthy of death than the Soviet spies.
Dean turned his head and glanced at "Shadow".
"Are you happy? We have found a new clue."
"I will cooperate with your investigation to the best of my ability."
Shadow's heart echoed with reverence, and there was gratitude hidden in the blurred face.
Then it turned into a strong wind and flew back to Jiban.
Dean's mind was digesting the vast amount of information tonight.
While stretching his limbs and doing complex and difficult yoga exercises, he started his daily routine of red dragon meditation before going to bed.
"Well, I can't force 11 to find someone for me. I have to build a good relationship and guide her."
