The only thing visible in the field of vision was the ceiling that was emitting a dead white light.

Lu Ye lay on the stiff iron plate, feeling the cold scalpel going in and out of his body.

There was no anesthesia, and his vision was almost dyed bright red by the severe pain, but he resisted and remained silent.

The eyes of the people in white coats surrounding him showed enthusiasm, and there was also disappointment in the enthusiasm.

"What a pity. This guy's body structure is the same as that of a normal person, so he has no research value."

"Sure enough, his brain should be dissected."

An inhuman gaze fell on Lu Ye's head, and the gleaming knives in the hands of the men in white coats approached him again.

In this almost suffocating cold atmosphere, Lu Ye slowly sat up, as if the horrific and hideous wound on his abdomen did not exist.

He stepped off the stiff iron plate and walked straight through the white coats who suddenly stopped moving.

The people in white coats fell to the ground one after another behind him, their eyes dim and lifeless.

"If the No. 3 and No. 7 drugs you gave me come into direct contact with the blood, they will produce toxic gaseous substances that will quickly kill people when they reach the brain. The only ones who can survive are those who are resistant to various drugs. I."

"A bunch of idiots."

Lu Ye muttered to himself with cold eyes. The bright red color flowed from the hideous wound on his abdomen and spread along the white hospital clothes, like a dying rose.

Lu Ye's consciousness gradually blurred, and memories of the past quickly flashed through his mind.

Since he was 13 years old, he showed extraordinary talent in pharmacology and the ability to influence living things. He was captured here by a group of foreign mercenaries, took various drugs every day, and was forced to undergo experiments.

In the past five years, they had not produced any research results, so they planned to perform an autopsy on Lu Ye today.

Many times, Lu Ye would dream. In the dream, everything that happened to him was just a dream. When he woke up, he would still continue his beautiful life since he was 13 years old.

However, reality is cruel, and the beauty in the dream never really comes.

"The long sky, how can it be inferior to me." Lu Ye looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh.

Noisy noises came from outside.

Amidst the sound of machinery running, the metal door of the laboratory opened, and several heavily armed mercenaries in black uniforms rushed into the laboratory, pointing their cold guns at Lu Ye, looking wary.

"Hey." Lu Ye chuckled at the corner of his mouth, took out his weak legs, and rushed towards the mercenary.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

Amidst the loud gunshots, bright red flowers bloomed on Lu Ye's white hospital clothes.

His body fell down, a pool of blood gathered under him, and his vision quickly dimmed like a curtain falling on a stage.

“When you find someone who is suitable, prepare to recruit him.”

At the last moment before falling into coma, a mechanical sound sounded in Lu Ye's ears.

……

[The contractor is being recruited...]

[10%, 20%, 100%, the introduction is completed! 】

[It was detected that the contractor's body suffered a lot of damage, and the contractor's injuries have been repaired. 】

[It has been detected that a large amount of drugs are contained in the contractor's body, and the drug residue has been removed for the contractor. 】

[Waiting for the contractor to wake up...]

In a dark space, Lu Ye's eyelashes trembled slightly, he woke up from his coma, sat up, and looked around.

Light blue text appeared in the void in front of him:

[Contractor, welcome to the 'Secret Paradise'! 】

Lu Ye's eyes widened slightly, showing a surprised expression, but he quickly regained his composure.

He checked the injuries on his body and found that he had fully recovered, so he stood up.

The real feeling around him told him that he was not dreaming.

"This is...the world after death?"

【This is another world. 】

[Contractor, are you willing to join the 'Secret Paradise', where all your wishes can be realized. 】

Lu Ye put his hand on his chin and said calmly, "Everything has a price."

"Excuse me, who are you? What do I need to pay?"

[This is the 'Secret Paradise'. 】

[After joining the 'Secret Paradise', you will travel through 'derivative planes' or 'native planes', complete tasks, and obtain the 'Source of the World' in exchange for rewards. 】

"In other words, equal exchange?"

[In the 'Secret Paradise', everything follows the principle of equivalent exchange. 】

“Can I choose not to join?”

[According to the rules, 'Secret Paradise' has no right to interfere with reserve contractors who have not signed a contract; at the same time, 'Secret Paradise' has no responsibility to protect reserve contractors and will directly throw reserve contractors into the void. 】

"If I am thrown into the void, will I die?"

[Based on the contractor's current physical fitness, the mortality rate within 10 seconds is 100%. 】

Lu Ye did not blindly believe in the light blue text, but fumbled around.

This dark space seems to be infinite, and it is definitely not a technology that humans can master. In addition, Lu Ye's fatal injuries have recovered, and this kind of technology is not something humans can master.

The Secret Paradise should be an existence of extremely high standards. If you wanted to harm Lu Ye, you would not cure him first and then use roundabout methods like deception.

Thinking of this, Lu Ye already had the answer.

"I choose to join Secret Paradise."

As soon as he finished speaking, a tingling sensation appeared in Lu Ye's palm, and a drop of bright red blood floated up, like a drop of water in space.

Parchment with an ancient texture appeared out of thin air, engraved with words that Lu Ye could not decipher.

The crystal ball-shaped blood drops fell on the parchment, dyeing the entire parchment red. Somehow, some kind of connection was established between Lu Ye and the eternal existence.

The parchment disappeared into thin air.

The magical scene that happened in front of him strengthened Lu Ye's previous thoughts.

The Secret Paradise should be some kind of high-standard existence.

[The contractor’s talent is about to be awakened, please be prepared. 】

`"Huh?"

[3, 2, 1. 】

Severe pain suddenly gushed out from all over Lu Ye's body, as if maggots were eating his blood vessels and bone marrow bit by bit with their fine teeth.

Lu Ye took a slight breath. The pain was much worse than being cut off.

After about 3 minutes, the severe pain disappeared. Lu Ye wiped the fine sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand and breathed deeply for a few seconds to relieve the afterglow of the pain.

He felt that his mind had become very clear, and he didn't know if it was an illusion.

"Paradise." Lu Ye said, "Excuse me, can I return to the real world?"

[Every time the contractor completes the task, he can return to the real world for seven days. 】

"I understand." The corners of Lu Ye's mouth curled up slightly. He couldn't wait to see the horrified expressions of the people in the laboratory.

Afterwards, Lu Ye asked a few more questions that he didn't understand well. After getting the answers, Lu Ye took a deep breath and prepared himself.

"Paradise, I have no problem."

[Contractors will be transferred to the 'Novice Trial World' soon, and the reward amount will be increased to 200%. Contractors should make their own decisions. 】

[In order to intuitively express the comprehensive quality of the contractor, semi-digitalization is enabled. 】

[Warning: 'Semi-digitalization' is an auxiliary combat ability. Important tissues such as the heart and brain are severely damaged, and the contractor will still die. 】

[Transmission starts...]

Lu Ye felt his eyes go dark, lost consciousness, and disappeared in this dark space.
