Chapter 250 The Young Boy.
In this room, Qi Min watched as the little ghost baby in his arms was almost finished eating.
He then prepared to take out the last sugar cake, and at the same time rummaged through his backpack to see what other candies he could exchange for.
But before he could take it out, the little ghost baby who had been eating obediently in his arms suddenly quickened his movements.
She opened her mouth and stuffed the remaining bit into it, then twisted her body and got out of his arms.
"Hmm? Where are you going?"
Qi Min watched its movements without stopping it, but subconsciously reached out to protect it from falling. After this short time of eating and spending time together.
He no longer has much of a guard up against this little ghost baby.
The main reason was that this little ghost baby was too docile. Give it food, and it would eat obediently in his arms without showing any ferocity or danger. Moreover, this little ghost baby might have even saved him.
The little ghost baby crawled to the ground, looked up at Qi Min, and patted his leg as if to say, 'Wait for me here, don't leave.'
Qi Min looked at the silent little ghost infant, yet strangely understood its meaning. He paused in his movement to get up and quietly watched it.
"Do you want me to stay here and wait for you?"
Qi Min looked at the little ghost infant, carefully confirming its existence, and also checking whether the little ghost infant could really communicate with him in a simple way.
If an ordinary baby heard him say this, it certainly wouldn't have any special reaction.
But this is a dungeon, so this baby isn't an ordinary baby.
The reason I didn't respond to him before was probably simply because I didn't want to talk to him.
Now that it has given a rare different response, Qi Min naturally wants to seize the opportunity.
Putting everything else aside, he hasn't even finished collecting all the clues yet.
If we can build a good relationship with the little ghost baby here now, then he won't be chased and killed later, right?
At least, it's good that we won't be chased by such a little ghost baby.
Based on both the available information and the fighting prowess of these ghost infants, Qi Min had little desire to confront them.
It's not just a matter of whether or not you can win. Faced with these faces that are practically identical to those of babies, coupled with all that information and their past, it's a real challenge.
Now, having spent time with this little ghost baby, Qi Min truly felt that he might not be able to bring himself to do it.
The little ghost baby blinked at Qi Min's question, neither nodding nor making a sound, but simply withdrew its little hand and turned to crawl towards the door.
It was at this moment that Qi Min suddenly noticed the outer room by the door.
Unbeknownst to them, a cold-hearted young man had silently appeared.
At this moment, the young boy was barefoot, looking at him with a cold expression, as if he were sizing him up, observing him, or simply watching him.
"Who is this?! When did he get here? Why didn't I notice him at all?!"
Qi Min stared at the young boy at the door, so shocked that he couldn't help but hold his breath for a moment.
It was simply because the young boy's appearance was too abrupt and his expression too cold.
That indifferent expression was as if he were looking at a dead object.
Such a gaze instantly turned Qi Min's relaxed expression into one of vigilance.
That was his instinctive reaction to the danger he sensed.
Qi Min watched the quiet boy outside warily. While his attention was completely diverted by the boy, the crawling baby on the ground had somehow crawled to the doorway.
Number 01 looked at Qi Min, who was on guard, without much other expression on his face. He simply bent down and picked up the little ghost baby when it crawled over.
"Have you found what you're looking for?"
A child's voice, devoid of any emotion, rang out. Qi Min was taken aback by the question, but then realized that the question wasn't directed at him, but at the little ghost baby he was holding in his arms.
The little ghost baby nodded to Number 01, then reached out and hugged his neck, shaking its little head at him.
When Qi Min saw the little boy, his slightly relaxed expression instantly furrowed when the little ghost baby shook his head at him, and he spoke as if displeased.
"What else do you want to do! Don't go too far! He's not one of us."
The little ghost baby, facing the somewhat unhappy boy, immediately lowered its head and pitifully rested its head against the boy's cheek.
The boy's brows furrowed even more. Just as he was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed, and he abruptly turned his head to look in the other direction.
Then he disappeared through the doorway with the little ghost baby in his arms, leaving Qi Min, who was still wary but completely confused, staring blankly at the doorway.
No, what happened?
Why did they leave so suddenly?
Qi Min realized what was happening, got up and chased after them, but after exiting the door and entering the corridor, he could not see any trace of them at all.
Helpless, I randomly picked a direction and figured out where I was.
After Qi Min figured it out, he found himself in area D of the third level of this instance.
This is also the area on this floor specifically used for regeneration experiments.
The reason he figured this out was because Qi Min accidentally walked into a room.
The room was large and contained many rectangular, transparent jars.
Each jar was filled with liquid, and floating inside was a person, or more precisely, a child.
Each tender, young face and body floated lifelessly in these jars, looking like a deliberately arranged exhibit.
Shocking and chilling...
Underneath each of these jars is a sheet of paper filled with date numbers and reference data.
Qi Min glanced at it and discovered something else: these were just living bodies that had been used as vessels to cultivate organs.
According to the records above, these children were already declared brain dead before being placed in these jars, and showed no signs of consciousness.
Qi Min continued walking in, shocked, and was surprised to find that the place was actually divided into two areas.
One is specifically used as a vessel to cultivate organs, while the other has all sorts of strange shapes and appearances.
Some hands and feet are pieced together from the limbs of an animal or aquatic creature.
Some only have normal heads and shoulders; the rest are connected to something else, making them look particularly strange.
Just as Qi Min was about to get closer to examine the paper with the records underneath, he suddenly heard a series of footsteps coming from outside.
The sounds were rapid and chaotic, mixed with shouts and yells.
Qi Min was unaware of the situation, but judging from the sound, they had clearly reached the door of the room.
Unable to leave in time, he immediately found a secluded corner with a table to hide in, intending to listen to the situation first and then see if he should show himself.
