Chapter 910: Experimentations
“What the hell are you doing here?” he squinted, his face turned dark.
“Drinking with you?”
Bei Tian turned his head away before he nodded at the bartender and rose from his seat.
“Where are you going?”
“Leave me alone.” Bei Tian uttered. He was half relieved that this woman actually left Kai on her own, but he never thought she would actually follow him.
“But I thought you want me to go with you?”
He stopped walking. “I don’t want you near me.” This woman’s face was too identical to Lily’s even her voice was the same. However, it seems that she was dumber than her.
“But… Mr. Bei… I have nowhere else to go.”
“What does this have to do with me?” he stared at her sad eyes. “You can’t fool me, woman. Stop acting like a sheep.” He always hated scheming women. Of course, that is with the exception of Lily. He started walking away from the bar and ignored the woman who followed him like a puppy.
“Mr. Bei… where are we going?”
He gritted his teeth but ignored her.
“Mr. Bei… Kai was actually crying when I left. I never thought that— “
“Why are you calling me Mr. Bei, but you call Kai her name?” He suddenly asked as he turned towards her. Kai obviously looked older than both of them. “Are you that close with her?” In Bei Tian’s mind, this could be dangerous after all, this woman might be a fugitive. Being close to her could put anyone else in danger.
“Because… you are older than her?” the woman answered, his nonchalance made him frowned. “And because… I am about her age?”
“What did you say?”
“I said… I am as old as her.”
Bei Tian looked around them before he held her wrist and pulled her towards an empty alley. “You are about Kai’s age?”
“Well… I knew I was born before that thing happen?”
He looked at her familiar face. “How did you know that?”
“I remember cars. The old ones.” She answered. At this time, the previous cars don’t exist anymore. Instead, big reinforced trucks and buses were used to combat the changes in the weather, the hotness of the sun, and the coldness of the night.
“How did you know how old am I?”
“I can feel it.” The woman smiled as if she was really proud of knowing his age. “We are the same.” She declared. “You and me.”
Bei Tian’s eyes darted to his left before he took a step back, a gun was already in his hand.
“You— ” the woman widened her eyes when the cold muzzle of the gun touched her forehead.
“Who are you?” Bei Tian’s eyes turned into slits, his senses alert as the blood running in his veins turn cold. He would never hesitate to kill someone, even if they look like Lily. After all, he was certain this woman was not the woman that he loved. “I will count to three… answer me, or you are dead.”
Now that he thought about it, everything seemed too easy. The woman’s appearance was too easy. It was like… It was like… someone deliberately put the woman on Kai so she could see Bei Tian.
“Heh…” the woman smiled, the expression on her face turned cold. “Are you really going to shoot me?”
Bei Tian smirked. He didn’t answer her, instead, he lowered the gun and pointed at the woman’s arms. Then he pulled the trigger.
The silencer muffled the loud sound of the gun, but it wasn’t enough to hide the curses that escaped the woman’s throat. “F*ck! Why the hell did you— Ahhh— “
“So, you really heal.” Bei Tian’s eyes were focused on the bullet hole on the woman’s arms. “Not as fast as I thought, but you are fine.” His voice was cold before he lifted the gun towards the woman’s forehead. “But I am certain, a hole in your brain won’t heal.” A sinister smile flashed on his face. “One…”
“Whoa… Whoa….” The woman looked panicked.
“I see… so you know you won’t be able to defeat me.” Bei Tian nodded. “Two…”
“I will talk… I will talk… just…F*ck! Let me heal! F*ck is this really how you treat a lady!?”
“You are not a lady. Now… talk.” He didn’t lower the gun. Instead, he got himself a second one and pointed two guns towards the woman’s face.
“What the— What the hell are you — Are you f*cking kidding me?”
“Talk or die. You chose.”
“Alright…” the woman held her two hands up. “Alright… just put that away. I am not here to fight you.”
Bei Tian squinted but did nothing. His eyes darted towards her wound, and as expected, it was already healed. The woman was a fast healer but compared to him, she was nothing. “Speak!”
“Man… I didn’t know it would be this hard.” The woman took a step back. “We shouldn’t talk here…”
“I don’t trust you.”
“Well… I don’t trust you too! But I don’t have a f*cking choice! Now… follow me!” she hissed and mumbled another strain of curses. Showing another sign that she wasn’t Lily. After all, Lily doesn’t really cursed like a sailor. “Why are you standing there? Will you just… man… what a stubborn man. Can you just follow me?”
For a few seconds, Bei Tian looked at her before he shook his head. “No.” Does this woman think he was dumb? He suddenly handed her a memory ring, just like the one that he used earlier. “Use this.”
“You— “
“As I said… I don’t trust you.” The ring would gather the woman’s memories and whatever it is that she wanted to tell him. In this way, Bei Tian would have access to her memories. Of course, there are also ways to alter one’s memories, but that would make the woman unconscious for hours.
“Are you serious, right now?”
Bei Tian pursed his lips in response. He looked at her and waited for her to put the ring on. Seeing his resolute expression, the woman sigh. “Alright… f*cking psycho!” she accepted the ring and put it on her finger. Then she closed her eyes and transferred everything that she wanted to tell him. After a few minutes, the woman removed the ring and handed it back to Bei Tian. “Don’t you need a safe place to access that?”
Bei Tian only shrugged before he put on the ring. While he doesn’t really trust this person, he thought that accessing the ring here would be the safest place for him. First, the woman didn’t show her ability earlier, even if he already shoot her. That could mean two things.
It’s either, she doesn’t have one. Or… she can’t because her ability had such devastating effects that would attract the attention of people. Being alone with this woman could be dangerous. Second, fighting her in a space like this was to his advantage as Bei Tian had developed other skills that would ensure his survival as long as he was out in the open.
“Experimentation?” He uttered as the ring around his finger is turning to dust. “You are a part of their experimentation.” He already guessed as much. However, what he didn’t know was the fact that they are somehow doing this to a lot of women. “And you wanted my help to destroy them?”
This woman is actually one of the leaders of an organization called the DEFIANCE. They are working on trying to save children from the experimentations of the government.
“Yes. We needed your help.” The woman’s face turned serious. “There are many people out there who— “
“No.” Bei Tian said. “I can’t help you.”
