Pandora's Box [4]

Chen Liguo's mood was extremely bad.

Bai Yanlou obviously had something to do with the phenomenons going on around him but if Bai Yanlou did not admit it there was nothing Chen Liguo could do about it. After all, he could never tell anyone that Bai Yanlou showed up in his dream and almost strangled him to death.

Bai Yanlou was directly electrocuted unconscious.

When he passed out the nearby researchers worriedly asked Chen Liguo what they should do next.

Chen Liguo glanced at the staff and coldly said, "Wake him up."

The other researchers did not know why Chen Liguo's attitude towards Bai Yanlou was so strange. The two had a good relationship the first day but the next Bai Yanlou somehow offended Chen Liguo.

After Bai Yanlou was woken by someone Chen Liguo walked over and grabbed his hair, forcing him to raise his head.

Chen Liguo looked at him with a cold smile and said, "Bai Yanlou, you need to figure out whose territory it is here."

Even when being electrocuted Bai Yanlou did not show any look of pain. And now, after regaining his consciousness the smile in his eyes was even stronger——Only, this smile was very uncomfortable to look at.

Bai Yanlou did not speak and slowly licked his lips.

Chen Liguo threw aside his head and expressionlessly left.

This matter of Chen Liguo getting angry was but an episode. The research needed to continue. Even if Chen Liguo hated Bai Yanlou he could not kill him.

Moreover, Bai Yanlou grasped this point as well and unendingly provoked Chen Liguo.

One night, they met again.

It was still within Chen Liguo's dream this time. When he was once again pulled into dreamland by Bai Yanlou Chen Liguo appeared excessively calm.

Everything around him was dark. Chen Liguo's complexion was like that of ice. He spoke, "Bai Yanlou?"

Bai Yanlou's familiar laughter sounded. He was like a predator in the darkness, noiselessly enjoying the fear of its prey.

Chen Liguo's shoulder was suddenly held by a hand. He turned his head and felt a burning breath on his face.

Following it was a gentle kiss. Chen Liguo began to struggle again but in Bai Yanlou's territory this act of resistance was nothing more than adding a little bit more flavor.

Chen Liguo originally thought that this kiss would be the end but when he was forcibly pressed to the ground and was stripped of his clothes, he realized what Bai Yanlou wanted to do——He actually wanted to violate him in his dream!

Sensing what Bai Yanlou wanted to do, Chen Liguo's expression was very ugly. He said, "Bai Yanlou! You're seeking for death!"

Bai Yanlou did not speak and continued to smile lowly. Chen Liguo wanted to speak again but his body suddenly burst into shakes——This bastard actually electrocuted him!

Chen Liguo let out a screech and completely lost his strength.

The dark dream was truly frightening. Chen Liguo even suspected that if Bai Yanlou were to kill him here, then he would breath his last in the outside world as well.

Chen Liguo felt Bai Yanlou enter him slowly.

Chen Liguo's eyes were at half mast and he was covered in cold sweat. His eyes seemed to see nothingness through the darkness.

Bai Yanlou finally spoke. He said, "He Chenyou, I really love you so much."

Chen Liguo's eyed widened suddenly. He felt a violent electric current come from Bai Yanlou's body above him. His body shook so violently he couldn't even scream.

Fortunately, this feeling lasted for but a moment. Bai Yanlou gently wiped off the cold sweat on Chen Liguo's forehead and said, "Baby, the time we have is still long."

Chen Liguo lay on the ground. Motionless, as though he were dead.

Chen Liguo did not know how long this dream lasted. Either way, when he was awakened by the system it was not yet bright out.

The system's tone was full of worry. It asked, "Chen Liguo, are you okay?"

Chen Liguo lay on the bed, powerless. The feeling of being invaded and electrocuted in his dream felt so real, so real that he felt as though it happened in reality.

Chen Liguo quietly said, "Fuck, it really is 20……"

System: "……"

Chen Liguo said, "Maybe even more."

System: "……"

Chen Liguo's tears fell. He said, "That feeling of my throat being bumped into makes me feel like doubting life."

Doubting life along with Chen Liguo was the system.

Chen Liguo's entire body was soaked with cold sweat. He climbed up and went to the washroom to take a shower.

When he finished dressing he rushed over to Bai Yanlou.

The first thing he said when he saw Bai Yanlou was, "You can control other people's dreams?"

Bai Yanlou blinked at Chen Liguo. He appeared to not have expected that despite going through last night's events, this person actually did not show any signs of breaking apart but instead showed an expression brimming with a baffling excitement——He Chenyou, he clearly looked like a tender dodder, but he was actually a tenacious vine.

Bai Yanlou was even more interested in Chen Liguo.

Bai Yanlou said, "Professor He, could it be that you dreamed of me last night?" He purposefully said this slowly, his manner and tone all brimming with provocation, reminding Chen Liguo of some details from last night.

Chen Liguo looked at him coldly and asked, "Bai Yanlou, what is your ability in the end?"

Bai Yanlou said, "It turns out that Professor He just cares about this?"

Chen Liguo said, "If you don't cooperate with our research don't blame me for being heartless." Without a doubt, Bai Yanlou was an extraordinary experimental subject and there was absolutely no way that his ability was limited to only turning water into ice.

As a researcher, He Chenyou saw a vast future before him——He could even keenly smell the hint of a whole new world.

Bai Yanlou smiled again. He liked to smile more than the average person. Although his smile made people uncomfortable sometimes, most of the time, his smiles were very beautiful.

Bai Yanlou said, "Give me a smoke."

Chen Liguo narrowed his eyes.

Bai Yanlou lightly said, "Of course, you can also choose to not give it to me."

Chen Liguo thought for a moment, got up, then went to the other researchers to get a smoke. Afterwards, he went back to Bai Yanlou's room.

Bai Yanlou directly lit the cigarette with a fire from his finger——This was telling Chen Liguo that his ability was not limited to ice.

Seeing this Chen Liguo's eyes were filled with excitement. He said, "Speak."

"Let's make a deal Professor He." Bai Yanlou slowly spat out a puff of smoke and said, "A deal that can satisfy both of us."

Chen Liguo sat across from Bai Yanlou and asked, "What deal?"

Bai Yanlou said, "I'll cooperate with your research, you let me fuck you."

Chen Liguo thought, then aren't you cutting a loss, I'll be earning twofold…… cough cough, that wasn't right. Chen Liguo gravely furrowed his brows. "Why are you interested in me?"

Bai Yanlou took another drawl of smoke. He narrowed his eyes and looked Chen Liguo up and down with a very explicit look. Then he said, "I like beautiful things."

Chen Liguo coldly said, "You'll get into a rut upon seeing beautiful things?"

Bai Yanlou did not care about Chen Liguo's sharp attitude and calmly smiled. "Yes."

Chen Liguo nodded and said, "Very well."

Bai Yanlou finished his last puff of smoke and said, "Professor He, you really made me look at you in a whole new light." He originally thought that He Chenyou would at least feel conflicted with this issue. However, he did not expect that he would so readily agree to his conditions.

Chen Liguo said, "But you are not allowed to use other means on me. For example, electric shocks." Last night's dream was simply a nightmare. He felt that if it was not a dream, he would have long since been disabled by Bai Yanlou.

Bai Yanlou, however, was a little reluctant. He said, "It'll depend on my mood I guess."

Chen Liguo furrowed his brows.

Bai Yanlou saw that their dirty trade was about to fall through and quickly said, "Alright, before I use it, I'll ask for your opinion, okay?"

Chen Liguo said, "Okay."

The deal was concluded. Chen Liguo began to euphorically ask Bai Yanlou about his physical condition.

Such an excited Chen Liguo made Bai Yanlou surprised. It seemed that He Chenyou was not the little white rabbit he had imagined him to be……

He Chenyou asked many questions, most of them were answered by Bai Yanlou. For instance, the reason why he could enter Chen Liguo's dream, and some secrets about his abilities.

Chen Liguo stayed in the research room with Bai Yanlou for a whole day.

None of the other researchers understood what was happening. Why were the two who were sharply opposing each other yesterday already reconciled today——Scarcely did they realize that the two had made a deal.

The one who felt Chen Liguo and Bai Yanlou's change the most was Chen Liguo's student, Qin Sheng.

Today, Qin Sheng felt that his teacher seemed somewhat strange. When he compiled the information at night there was a faint excitement in his expression.

Qin Sheng asked, "Teacher, did something good happen today?"

Chen Liguo looked up at him and said, "En."

Qin Sheng smiled. "Is that so, then congratulations Teacher."

Chen Liguo heard this and his eyes softened a lot. He said, "I have a hypothesis already. The improved version of the drug will be developed soon……"

Qin Sheng's smile became stronger. He was about to say something when his smile suddenly froze.

He noticed that after his Teacher rolled up his sleeves strange red marks could be seen on his arms.. It was impossible for these to be mosquito bites——After all, not even the shadow of a bug could be found in their lab.

Qin Sheng said, "Teacher……"

Chen Liguo sounded an 'en'.

Qin Sheng pursed his lips and in the end, did not ask.

However, finding the truth was like pulling at a ball of string. Once you find the end of the string, soon more and more details would be pulled out.

In the next few days, Qin Sheng secretly observed Chen Liguo. Then, he came to an inconceivable conclusion——His teacher seemed to be having a relationship with someone.

Slightly swollen lips and faint red marks on his neck. However, what made Qin Sheng completely certain of his conclusion was a bite mark on his teacher's ear.

That bite mark was hidden very well. Perhaps He Chenyou himself did not even notice it.

However, Qin Sheng who had a very good relationship with He Chenyou discovered this mark which was partially hidden in his hair.

How could this happen? Qin Sheng felt that this was simply too mystical. Who was his teacher having a relationship with? He was obviously with his teacher every day but why did he never see the object of his teacher's love?

This was Qin Sheng's first suspicion but soon, he found the answer to his question.

The researchers weren't the only ones beside them every day, but also experimental subjects.

Qin Sheng already vaguely guessed that perhaps, Chen Liguo had feelings for an experimental subject.

This kind of thing happening to his Teacher was like a bolt of lightning from a blue sky, making Qin Sheng unable to calm down and causing him to make frequent mistakes in his experiments.

Chen Liguo frowned at his student. He said, "Qin Sheng, what is going on with you."

Qin Sheng hung his head and apologized.

Chen Liguo asked, "Are you unwell?"

Qin Sheng said a little.

Chen Liguo said, "If you don't feel well, go rest——I don't need you to squeeze out this kind of time to experiment." Qin Sheng had already scrapped several of the groups samples. Chen Liguo's heart was practically dripping blood.

There was nothing Qin Sheng could do, so he could only nod and say okay.

Before he left, he took another look in Chen Liguo's direction. Chen Liguo's back was to him, so he did not notice his gaze. Nor did he catch Qin Sheng's peculiarity.

It had to be said that the dirty deal with Bai Yanlou was very worth it.

Because, even if Chen Liguo did not agree with the contents of the deal, he would still be pulled away by Bai Yanlou to have a good time. So hey, he might as well get something from it to comfort himself.

Bai Yanlou really wasn't an ordinary ability user. From the information he gave Chen Liguo, Chen Liguo knew that he had at the very least, a dozen abilities.

Of course, Chen Liguo did not tell other people about this. Bai Yanlou was already popular enough now. If other people knew about this, then Chen Liguo did not know if he'd be able to keep him.

Contrariwise, Bai Yanlou didn’t care much. He would tell Chen Liguo everything and would even discuss how he wanted to play at night——Furthermore, so long as Chen Liguo agreed to it, he would tell Chen Liguo even more.

When this happened, Chen Liguo's brows would usually be wrinkled tightly and his lips would be pursed into a line. Bai Yanlou liked to see Chen Liguo's distressed look. He knew, in the end, this person would agree to his request.

As expected, Chen Liguo agreed. When they did it at night, his face was still covered with shame.

Bai Yanlou held his waist and with a low laugh, told him to do it faster.

"Can't go any faster." Chen Liguo seemed to be a little annoyed. He quietly said, "It's too long."

It was Bai Yanlou's first time hearing someone say "it's too long" in such a calm tone. He suddenly became extremely excited and directly turned Chen Liguo's legs soft.

Thanks to Bai Yanlou's cooperation, Chen Liguo's research on the drug went very quickly.

Others who originally had opinions on his monopoly over Bai Yanlou had to shut up——They could not guarantee that they could develop the drug as quickly as Chen Liguo could.

Because almost all the time was spent on Bai Yanlou, the daughter of fate Wang Yangzi had not been electrocuted for a long time. Moreover, she made a strange discovery——Her abilities were actually slowly becoming stronger.

However, its rate of advancing was very slow, so slow that she even suspected it to be her own misconception at first. But along with the passage of time, she determined that it was true.

She could now even discharge electricity through the air.

Becoming stronger along with Wang Yangzi were the other ability users.

Chen Liguo did not know about these changes at all. He went to see Wang Yangzi once but the girl's attitude towards him was incredibly fierce——She was just like her thunderous ability and was borderline exploding.

"I will kill you sooner or later——" Wang Yangzi itched to bite Chen Liguo. In fact, the only researcher whose face she remembered was Chen Liguo's.

Who told him to be the best looking in the group?

Chen Liguo looked at Wang Yangzi indifferently. He did not say anything to rebut her and turned and left.

Wang Yangzi looked at Chen Liguo's back and bit her lips. She regretted her irritability but she really hated this place and the people who captured her…..

Chen Liguo's research on the drug continued to advance methodically.

With Bai Yanlou's genes as the foundation, Chen Liguo used his intellect and wisdom to gradually improve the drug's side effects——As if. He completely relied on the system's golden finger and worked his hardest to pretend.

The system discussed with Chen Liguo, telling him to not research the drug too quickly as doing it too fast may cause his character to collapse.

Chen Liguo thought that this goblin really was a bothersome little goblin. Too quick was out of the question, too slow was not allowed either. It had to be at an appropriate speed, an appropriate thickness……

The system knew that Chen Liguo did dirty deals with Bai Yanlou almost every night. After trying to advise Chen Liguo several times it became too lazy to advise him. Moreover, it couldn't move him at all. On top of that, Chen Liguo going wild with Bai Yanlou in his dreams was an advantage. It didn't need to look at mosaics at all….. The only fly in the ointment was that he always loved to groan and moan in his sleep……

Bai Yanlou really was a bastard and as bastardly as him was He Chenyou as he didn't regard experimental subjects as people and Bai Yanlou did not see He Chenyou as a person.

In a way, the two were quite well matched.

This night Chen Liguo was wretchedly tossed about by Bai Yanlou. This was because he gave Bai Yanlou a drug during the day and after said drug entered his body, Bai Yanlou directly rushed to the washroom and vomited for more than half an hour.

When he came out his entire face was dreadfully pale.

Chen Liguo was still recording data. When he noticed that the expression in Bai Yanlou's eyes was bad he played it down and said that his weight was too heavy.

Bai Yanlou had a smile that was not a smile on his face. He said, "Too heavy?"

Chen Liguo said, "En."

Bai Yanlou asked, "You did not do it on purpose?"

Chen Liguo's pen paused. Then he said in a calm tone, "Just wanted to try it out."

Bai Yanlou thought 'try it out? If this was someone else they might have been tried into waste .'

However, in the end, Chen Liguo was only dominant during the day, so Bai Yanlou didn't say anything. Chen Liguo felt a little uneasy in his heart——He knew that he would be miserable at night.

As expected, Chen Liguo was directly dragged into a black dream. Even when he began to beg for forgiveness Bai Yanlou had no intention of letting him go.

Bai Yanlou asked, "How is it Professor He? Do you feel good?"

Chen Liguo couldn't even speak, an endless black was before him. He even had the impression that he would be imprisoned in this darkness for all his life.

Bai Yanlou asked, "Professor He, do you want to see what you look like?"

Before Chen Liguo even answered, a dim light appeared in the darkness and a mirror appeared before Chen Liguo.

Chen Liguo saw himself in the mirror.

The difference between the dream him and the him in reality was extremely big. His face was flushed and his eyes were blank. Bai Yanlou wrapped his arms around his waist and kissed his neck.

"Professor He." Bai Yanlou said, "Which one is the real you?"

Chen Liguo closed his eyes and panted softly.

With the wave of his hand Bai Yanlou removed the lights and began the next merriment.

The next day, Chen Liguo unexpectedly asked for leave.

When he got up he found that he was suffering from a low fever. When he stood up he was so dizzy he nearly fell.

The doctor came and prescribed him a bit of medicine, saying that if the fever did not go down he would need an injection.

Chen Liguo furrowed his brows and asked if he could not take the medicine.

The doctor looked at him and said, "You can not eat it but it's goot and very slow——Professor He, if you continue staying up late your body won't be able to endure it."

Chen Liguo coughed a few times and did not speak.

The doctor sighed and said, "Forget it, I'm saying this in vain. If you don't want to have to call me again——Remember to eat."

Chen Liguo nodded and said that he had inconvenience the doctor.

After the doctor left Chen Liguo felt dizzy and fell asleep.

Qin Sheng knocked at the door for a long time but the person inside did not react. Helpless, he could only take out his access card and open Chen Liguo's door——Because Chen Liguo would have an accident every two or three days Qin Sheng was given the access card to Chen Liguo's home. Chen Liguo himself was a little worried that he would inexplicably die at home as well.

Qin Sheng opened the door and quietly called out a 'teacher'.

There was no answer. Qin Sheng sighed and said, "Teacher, I've brought you lunch."

He slowly walked towards the bedroom. He pushed the door open and saw that Chen Liguo was sleeping.

Chen Liguo's pajamas were not buttoned up. It seemed that he was too hot and his blanket only covered his waist. His face was red and at first glance it could be seen that he was sick.

Qin Sheng originally wanted to call the doctor but he saw the medicine on the table and knew that the doctor had probably come already.

Qin Sheng put the lunch on the table and planned on calling Chen Liguo up to have him eat. But when he approached the bed his entire person was completely stunned.

He found that there were ambiguous traces on Chen Liguo's white chest. There was absolutely no way that these marks were made by a woman——Qin Sheng stood in place, and stared foolishly.

Chen Liguo was still fast asleep.

Qin Sheng caught sight of his teacher's nipples. There were ever clear teeth marks on them and the two points on his chest were swollen. At first glance he knew that he was bullied no small amount.

Qin Sheng discovered that he had a reaction. This reaction made his entire person collapse. So instead of waking Chen Liguo, he chose to silently leave.

The sleeping Chen Liguo did not know that his sleeping appearance had just bent his own apprentice.

Of course, if he knew, he would have probably said to the system, "I just knew that my beauty is a sin."

And the system would silently spit at his face.
