Cw: LYZ being treated as a test subject. Contains water and electricity. Please read this chapter with a grain of salt ^^2
***
Lu Yizhou awoke with an abrupt start when a bucket of water was dumped over his head.
Even though his temperature was lower than normal, he could tell that the water cascading down his body was icy cold. So cold it was like it was on the verge of freezing into an ice block. If not for his constitution, he would have gone into shock right now…
"Awake?"
He slowly opened his eyes to the sight of Zhao Bolin who was still holding a bucket in his hand with an excited grin on his face. Lu Yizhou was rendered speechless in an instant. Not only was he drugged, he was also awoken in such a rough and merciless manner. Why was this version of his lover so violent and merciless?
Zhao Bolin's lips curved in satisfaction upon seeing Lu Yizhou opening his eyes. He then proceeded to check the thermometer. "Very good, your temperature doesn't change at all." After saying that, he scribbled furiously on his notebook still with a manic grin on his face.
Just like a child holding his favorite toy — no, just like a mad scientist observing his most precious test subject.
The bucket of icy water had succeeded in sobering Lu Yizhou up. He then discovered that he was still in Zhao Bolin's laboratory except… he was tied to a wooden chair right now. That's right, it was exactly the electric chair used to execute prisoners back in the days, complete with the leather belts around his arms, body and legs. Lu Yizhou was once again speechless. Why the hell would Zhao Bolin have something like this in his laboratory? And why was he tied to the electric chair??
Zhao Bolin continued to mutter as though nobody was there. "Icy water and boiling water doesn't affect you. There's not a hint of injury on your skin. I am currently trying to break down the composition in your blood but it will take a while. Let's see… what other experiments can I do in the meantime?"
Lu Yizhou stared at him with a numb expression. He did not even know what to think.
It turned out the original plot really was not lying. When faced with his expertise, Zhao Bolin would transform into a freak scientist who would spare nothing to achieve higher knowledge. However, he also knew not to cross the line of the universe's law when he refused to join the government's project.
Perhaps, Lu Yizhou sending himself to Zhao Bolin's doorstep could be regarded as his way to finally relieve all of the pent-up thirst for wisdom…
Goodness… what had he thrown himself into?
[666: Uwaaa, Host, you're finally awake! QAQ you have no idea how creepy this world's villain is! When you're asleep, he groped your body, cut your flesh and almost gouged your eyeballs out…!!]
Lu Yizhou: "..."
Hehe, it seemed like Zhao Bolin was having a lot of fun.
Should he be thankful that he was awake with his body still intact?
Zhao Bolin closed his notebook and gave Lu Yizhou a sweet smile that was downright terrifying. "How is your sleep?" His voice was very soft and gentle, yet underneath it was a sea of poison. "The dose in my syringe is enough to paralyze an adult elephant but for you, it should be different. Can you tell me how you feel right now? Oh wait, you're unable to speak." Zhao Bolin tapped his chin. "I can't release you either. Hmm, this is such a dilemma. What to do? I have been waiting for a face-to-face conversation."
Lu Yizhou was already numb by the surprise Zhao Bolin threw at him one after another. Right now, he should be in a state where he could accept it calmly if Zhao Bolin wanted to play with the electric chair…
"Let's do it like this!" Zhao Bolin finally decided. "I am going to ask you a few questions. If the answer is yes, give me a nod. If no, shake your head. Got it?"
Could he refuse? Helpless, Lu Yizhou gave a slight nod. The water dripped to the tip of his hair and stuck to his eyes. It was a bit uncomfortable. Just as he was thinking how he could resolve it, Zhao Bolin stepped forward and brushed his hair back with a movement so gentle it was as if he was holding a porcelain. "How is it?"
Lu Yizhou was pleasantly surprised. It turned out, Zhao Bolin still cared for him as an intelligent being? Just as the thought flashed through his mind, a jolt of electricity suddenly zipped through his body. Numbness exploded on his scalp, and it was as though countless ants were burrowing inside his skin. He flinched so hard that the chair almost toppled over. In front of him, Zhao Bolin still had that loving smile on his face as he held onto the controller. With a twist of his finger, he increased the voltage and Lu Yizhou's body spasmed violently on the electric chair.
Fucking hell…! He would not trust this man's sweet mouth again. Ever!!
Crimson haze gradually covered his eyes and a threatening growl broke out of his throat. His mind understood that Zhao Bolin would not kill him but his instinct said otherwise. This human was dangerous! As such, his body reacted appropriately and tried to break free from the constraints around.
"So you will react to danger only when awake…" Zhao Bolin analyzed calmly. "When you're asleep, I cut off a piece of your flesh and you didn't react whatsoever. This is so interesting hehehe…" He let out a perverted laugh.
When the leather belts showed signs of tearing, he immediately turned off the electric chair. Then he took out a syringe from his pocket and waved it in front of Lu Yizhou's face like a magic wand. Lu Yizhou's pupils dilated and his entire body stiffened. He recognized that syringe — it was exactly the one which had taken him down earlier!
Zhao Bolin revealed a satisfied look at his reaction. "See this? That's right, this is a tranquilizer and the dose is even higher than the one you were injected with earlier. If you dare to resist, I will stab this syringe into your body anytime. Don't worry you will not die…" The way he said it did not convince Lu Yizhou in the slightest. As he expected, Zhao Bolin added in an airy tone, a wicked smile playing on the curl of his lips. "...but you will remain in a comatose state. Do you want that?"
"Choose." Zhao Bolin twirled on his hair, the gleam on his eyes told Lu Yizhou he did not have a fucking choice to begin with. "Between me experimenting on you when you're unconscious or… me experimenting on you when you're sober, which one do you prefer?"
Lu Yizhou: "..." Could he fucking quit this mission?
Zhao Bolin really did not play by rules! How could he treat his lover like this?! Just wait, Lu Yizhou was going to teach him a lesson sooner or later!
