After getting ready, I head straight to the secret base to meet Mr. Xian. My mind is still burning with the thought that he was listening to us last night through whatever creepy device he planted in my phone.
But I can't let him know that I know. Nope. Gotta act normal. Gotta smile like the perfect little scientist who doesn't suspect a thing.
Today's mission is clear—gain more of his trust. The more I look like I'm on his side, the more I can dig deeper. I need to get my hands on those research papers, especially the ones about those two "special" people. Whatever they're planning, I have to see it with my own eyes before it's too late.
Those two, with their strange, almost supernatural healing, are still being tortured here in this same building. Just thinking about it makes my stomach twist. It hurts my soul to stand here, pretending like I don't care, while they scream and suffer behind these cold, metal doors.
