Born to Be Rebellious [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 205: Pandora

Spiritual power, the greatest breakthrough of this century.

It was a major advancement in the development of brain domain and foretold a new direction for human evolution.

Research on spiritual power had advanced by leaps and bounds and human beings had begun to develop various plans for the evolution of spiritual power, that is, gene optimization and improvement.

The subject of genetic evolution was a Pandora’s box, once opened, you could never know what it would unleash so claimed the opposition.

After all, they failed to stop this trend.

Pandora is not only a gift from the gods, but also a messenger of disaster.

It represents chaos and ominousness, and symbolizes doomed destruction and tragedy. Such a name should not be crowned on any experimental project.

The Development of Spiritual Potential and Related National Defense Application, this was the name of this experimental project.

However, in order to express their ridicule of the opposition, the Research Institute in charge of this project chose this name ingeniously.

—Pandora project

However, even with the generalization of mental power evolution and genetic improvement experiments today, this project was still the top secret of the entire federation.

Because it was inhumane.

No federal experimental plan could carry out human experiments without review, let alone break through the moral bottom line of human beings so far and the Pandora project was more than that——

it had things spanning far beyond any federation citizens’ imagination.

Interfering with human genes from the source to stimulate a greater potential of spiritual power, it was like a huge mine that had never been explored before. Compared with it, human experiments were already trivial.

They’re more like…creating new human race.

However, when the starting point of the project was to consolidate national defense, for them, the species created in the laboratory was only a human being in the physical sense, and it is nothing more than a biological weapon on the psychological and social levels.

Of the 50 million samples, only one embryo survived, number U2625.

U2625 quickly demonstrated strength beyond expectations. From the moment he was born, his mental power index began to increase exponentially, exceeding the highest limit that humans had been able to achieve so far—and he was only three months and five days old at that time.

What’s even more frightening was that the growth rate of his mental power index had not slowed down since then.

It even exceeded the detection limit of all mental power testing equipment in the institute.

In order to prevent the experimental subject from going beyond control, the research institute had to develop and built a mental power isolation cage.

Fortunately, the laboratory staff treated U2625 with extra care and caution from the very beginning and never provided him with any channel to cultivate self-awareness—from the moment he was born, all external stimuli he received were under the control of Research Institute. The experimental subject was also exceptionally well-behaved and docile. He had never expressed any personal wishes had never shown any resistance to a series of data records and experiments.

He was simply the ideal creation that the Research Institute dreamed of.

Soon, on the basis of U2625’s huge spiritual power, the research institute developed a huge star network that spread through the entire interstellar—and its basic source of energy was this juvenile being that had never left the underground metal prison of tens of square meters since birth.

Taking the star network as the origin, today’s federal government quickly took over the power, evolved rapidly from the original scattered structure and gradually established centralized rule that spread to various fields.

And when the source of the starnet was under the control of the Federation, the control of thoughts also became at their fingertips.

Thus the Bureau of Secrets was born.

When 80% of the mental power of U2625 was occupied by the star network, the research institute did not stop to continue in-depth research.

After all, the original intention of the project was to strengthen national defense, not people’s livelihood.

After ten years of difficult research, hundreds of millions of failed experiments, and countless financial investments, the Research Institute finally bred a second surviving embryo.

At this time, the methods and equipment of the laboratory have all been updated and improved.

As early as in the embryonic period, its spiritual potential surpassed that of U2625 as the initial sample. If it was successfully cultivated, it would become the most perfect humanoid weapon.

However, to everyone’s surprise… from the embryonic stage, it had shown shocking aggressiveness.

Perhaps it was because this experimental body was originally created for the purpose of war and destruction. Its strong mental power destroyed nearly a hundred nutritional incubators around it and eroded the embryos inside.

After being released from the incubator, in just one week, he created three incidents of mental power riots.

Ten of the researchers were slightly injured, three were seriously injured and one was permanently disabled.

The researcher that was left with a permanent disability wrote in the accident recall report after leaving the hospital:

“… the moment the door of the incubation room opened, I smelled the smell of blood. Although it was far away, I could still see the experimental subject lying on his small bed and looking straight at me. Those pure black eyes terrified me. He was born less than a week ago, but those eyes gave me the feeling that he knew everything and nothing could hide from him. This look gave me shudders, so I wanted to leave, but then I found myself unable to move— I floated up.

It’s an unprofessional description, but I swear, that little devil was giggling.

He laughed as he tore off both of my legs.

God, even now, I can still see him giggling at me when I close my eyes…”

It might seem inappropriate to use the word devil to refer to a baby who had only became vocal a few days ago, but it appeared in almost every report of the researchers who had experienced a psychic incident.

The researchers couldn’t even conduct experiments on him and even basic data observations was very difficult.

He was too unstable. Even if no researcher had died so far, according to the current trend, it was not far away.

The Research Institute had to step up the development of mental power suppression equipment—— similar equipment is used even today.

Although suppressed by equipment, the subject still never showed the slightest obedience. He showed incredible aggressiveness and defensiveness towards everything around him. He never trusted any researcher, even if the other party brought him food every day and deliberately treat each other with tenderness, trying to cultivate a relationship of trust.

To make matters worse, he would even try to escape from his room at every opportunity.

And obviously all the sources of information that the experimental subject could access were strictly controlled, but he had a high degree of naturally attained rebellious psychology. He rejected all experiments on himself, never softening attitude even after being punished by electric shocks.

The Institute was clueless about this.

In this case, they had to figure out a way.

Perhaps, a companion? This may be the key to reducing his aggressiveness.

Although there was little hope, the Institute decided to give it a try.

U2625 sat quietly in a fully transparent compartment with only fifteen square meters

At this moment, he heard the beeping sound of the door opening from outside the compartment, followed by footsteps.

The boy raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice.

It’s neither lunch time nor experiment time, so why would anyone come?

Soon, the researchers who were pushing a huge isolation box and wearing high-strength protective clothing came to the cubicle. One of them lifted his mask and said to U2625 concisely: “From today on, you are responsible for taking care of him.”

As he spoke, there was a muffled banging sound coming from the isolation box, as if a wild beast was hearing this inside.

U2625 still looked calm.

He was like a programmed machine, with no external stimuli being able to influence him. Like a container carrying huge energy, he had a kind of calmness with an inhuman indifference, never reacting to anything.

With a quiet “beep”, the door of the compartment opened.

The researchers lifted the incubator containing the experimental body out of the isolation layer, then turned around and left in a hurry as if they were scared of having any contact with it.

Soon, only U2625 and the experimental body, which was born less than six months ago, remained in the entire compartment.

The sound of “bang bang” still came continuously.

The boy’s glazed eyes shone slightly.

He hesitated for two seconds, then walked slowly towards the incubator.

Perhaps for the sake of safety, the material of the incubator was non-transparent, likely there was an interlayer to isolate the mental power. There were only a few breathing holes evenly distributed on the upper end of the incubator.

The boy reached out and lifted the lid of the incubator.

He saw a tiny baby. Wearing a headband that confines mental power, still unable to stand, so he had to sit reluctantly. Almost the moment he lifted the lid, he fiercely threw himself at the hand that was pressing on the edge of the incubator and then used the only weapon on his little body—teeth, biting down viciously and mercilessly.

The small rice grain-like teeth were not even fully formed yet, but it seemed that the whole body’s strength was used when biting down.

The blood was like a bright red snake, winding down the back of the boy’s hand, dripping to the ground.

The teenager didn’t struggle.

Not even his eyebrow twitched.

Years of various experiments have resulted in an exceptionally high pain threshold, which made him feel almost no pain at all.

Instead, something else caught his attention.

The boy’s eyes fell on the baby in front of him.

His eyes were slightly startled.

He looks so small, unbelievably small, as if he could lift him up with one hand. Fine delicate fluff could be seen on his white soft and bulging cheeks, his facial features were delicate and beautiful like an angel’s, his black eyes were round and big, surrounded by long eyelashes. In those pure and innocent antelope-like black eyes, there was a fire that the boy had never seen before—— that kind of wild to the bone, fierce and aggressive eyes that could only belong to a feral beast.

Cruel and lively, beautiful and dangerous, filled with exuberant vitality.

The young man hesitated and cautiously stretched out his hand to touch the other’s cheek, then quickly withdrew, a little light shone in his lifeless eyes.

…so soft.
