The pet care she studied is the real animal control major, right?

Because of the dream he had last night, Qin Jiu didn't seem to be in a good mood today.

She had two big dark circles under her eyes and looked listless.

Li Ke, who had recently become a good friend of hers, came to her residence early and waited for her to appear.

As a veteran foodie, Li Ke hasn't met like-minded people for a long time.

Qin Jiu's taste is very similar to his, and the key point is that she can still eat it.

And she was the only person here who didn't show fear or respect for him.

Qin Jiu was his true friend, not one of those experimenters who were intimidated by his abilities.

The elevator floor on the elevator panel did not jump. Li Ke scratched his head and looked down at the time on his terminal.

The agreed time has arrived. Qin Jiu is never late. What happened today?

Could it be that she encountered some danger up there?

This idea appeared in his mind and immediately spread through every inch of his nerves like a virus, infecting his mind.

That won't work!

How could anything go wrong with his dining partner? !

The next second, he turned his head firmly to look at the stairs and walked towards there quickly.

Waiting for the elevator is too slow, just go upstairs directly!

The stairwell was spacious, and the winding marble floor was polished to a shine, with the reflection of the crystal chandelier visible on the ground.

At the same time, you can also take a peek at the other end of the stairs.

"Da da da……"

There were footsteps coming down from upstairs, echoing in the empty stairwell.

Li Ke saw a familiar figure walking down the stairs on the ground.

Oh! That’s great!

His dining partner is fine!

He put on a simple smile, looked up and called to Qin Jiu who was coming downstairs: "Qin Jiu, why are you so late today?"

Qin Jiu sighed secretly. If possible, she would like to stay in the room today and have a good rest.

but……

When she thought of Li Ke's big tail shaking wildly behind her, she resigned herself to her fate and got up and went downstairs.

Qin Jiu lowered his head and looked down from the handrail of the spiral staircase.

Li Ke stuck his head out from the corner of the stairs and looked at Qin Jiu with a smile.

Look——

The big dog is down there!

Qin Jiu: "I didn't sleep well last night, so I got up a little late today."

The non-existent ears on Li Big Dog Ke's head drooped down. He frowned slightly and raised his eyes and asked worriedly: "Are you feeling unwell? If you are not feeling well, let's cancel today's trip..."

Although he said so, Qin Jiu clearly saw the non-existent big tail behind him drooping down, and he was obviously in a low mood.

Qin Jiu resisted the urge to rub his head and said, "It's okay, let's go. I feel much better now."

The "big dog's" eyes lit up instantly, and the "tail" behind him swung rapidly again. He walked beside Qin Jiu and began to introduce today's itinerary to her.

"Yesterday I found out there's a great dessert shop nearby, and I heard that couples' packages have extra gifts! Let's pretend to be a couple and go there!"

Qin Jiu couldn't help but frowning when she heard the word "lover", but under Li Ke's expectant gaze, she swallowed back her words of refusal.

"……All right."

Li Ke cheered, like a child who got a favorite toy, jumping for joy and dancing.

But in Qin Jiu's opinion, his behavior was very abnormal.

Even if they have lost their memories, their likes and dislikes have not changed, and they should be able to get along with each other the same as before.

But the childish nature that Li Ke has recently shown is something Qin Jiu has never seen in Li Ke before.

As a child who grew up in an orphanage like her, Li Ke should be more mature and stable, and have the demeanor of an older brother.

but now……

His behavior was as if he had suddenly regressed to his childhood, and his standards for judging right and wrong, good and evil were completely based on those of a child.

Could it be that... besides being cannibalized, genetic optimization has other side effects?

No, that's not right.

Qin Jiu looked at Li Ke's jumping figure. This behavior was very inappropriate for an adult male.

Devour, eat away.

The effect of the alien beast gene on Li Ke has not changed in essence. It is devouring Li Ke's memory cells, or in other words, it is attacking the place where he stores his memories.

Perhaps at this stage Li Ke can still maintain normal human thinking and actions because his memory cells are difficult to break.

But this also caused confusion in his memory, which led to his childish nature.

If one day, it is breached, maybe...

Li Ke truly disappeared in the interstellar space, and was replaced by a body that could not think and was only driven by instinct.

Can this also be called a perfectly optimized body?

The more Qin Jiu thought about it, the more frightened he became. The familiar Li Ke seemed to be fading away little by little.

Is there any way to put an end to his experiment?

Take it away?

It’s useless. Li Ke himself…

No, it should be said that No. 14 himself would not be willing unless he regained his memory.

And what would happen even if I took him away?

The experimental subjects that have begun to be optimized must be controlled long-term, otherwise they may fall into monsters sooner than they think.

Apart from finding a way to reverse the experiment, she didn't seem to have any better plan.

But she knew nothing about it, let alone discovering a method of reverse transformation that no one else could do.

Things are back to square one and become a vicious circle.

Li Ke, who was walking in front, noticed that Qin Jiu didn't catch up in time, so he waved at her and shouted, "Come on!"

"Coming." Qin Jiu shook off the thoughts in his mind and quickly followed his pace.

Just as the two were about to leave the base, Li Ke's terminal suddenly rang.

He instinctively felt that this call was not a good thing, so he chose not to answer it with an ostrich mentality.

But the other party seemed to have more patience than him and called the number over and over again.

In the end, he was the first to give in, and opened the terminal with his head hung.

Qin Jiu was watching the screen on his terminal not far away from him. She was being careful and deliberately did not appear in his camera.

The person on the other side of the terminal was Fei Qixia. His face was ashen and he seemed angry at Li Ke for deliberately not answering the call.

Li Ke called respectfully, "Mr. Fei, what can I do for you?"

Fei Qixia snorted coldly, raised the corner of his mouth, and said sarcastically: "You are the busy man, you don't have time to answer my call!"

When Fei Qixia's sarcastic words reached Li Ke's ears, alarm bells rang in his mind, and he quickly denied it:

"No, Mr. Fei, I, I just didn't hear it."

This lame excuse couldn't even fool a three-year-old child, so Fei Qixia certainly didn't believe it.

But now is not the time to pursue this issue.

Fei Qixia said: "Come to my place right now and find a wormhole to go to Ebony Planet."

Li Ke was stunned when he heard this, and a solemn look appeared on his face.

Mr. Fei will only take the initiative to give him a wormhole under one condition.

That is--

He is going near a natural wormhole!
