Rocot: Reborn

Rocot used up his last bit of strength to resist, but soon, as the medicine in the injection gradually took effect, his body completely softened and he was at the mercy of the soldiers.

"We will meet again, my king." K smiled and signaled to the soldiers to take him away.

Roccod's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and his consciousness gradually blurred. The moment he was completely taken away from the laboratory, he seemed to see K's smile becoming more proud in his blurred vision. In his ears, he seemed to hear the whisper of the devil...

A few days later, Rocot finally woke up from his coma. This time, it was no longer a cold and lifeless laboratory, but a much warmer room.

After adapting for a while, he realized that the remnants of the oppressive dark power were no longer in his body. He tried to move his body and found that apart from the normal feeling of fatigue, he no longer felt any unusual discomfort.

However, it seemed as if something was missing in his body, making him feel a little empty.

The door was gently pushed open, and an old man with a kind face walked in pushing a dining cart.

"You finally woke up," the old man showed a warm smile, "Experimental subject, I am the caretaker here, you can call me Grandpa Zhang."

A series of questions popped up in Roccod's mind, but he held them back. The most important thing for him now was to recover his strength as soon as possible. He picked up the warm water that Grandpa Zhang handed him and drank it all. Then, he ate all the food on the plate in one breath. This was probably the best meal he had ever had.

"Thank you." Rocot said to Grandpa Zhang.

The old man smiled, said nothing, pushed the food cart away, and left a plate of fruit.

About half an hour later, after confirming that Grandpa Zhang would not return, Roccod slowly opened an apple. A metal piece was embedded in the apple core, emitting a dark power that made his heart palpitate.

Roccod played with the metal piece calmly, his fingertips lightly stroking the strange patterns carved on it. A familiar energy wave came from between his fingers, like a call from the depths of his soul.

"K, what on earth do you want to do..." Roccod whispered to himself, with a cold light flashing in his deep black eyes.

He is not some experimental subject who can be manipulated by others. This K actually dared to treat him as a guinea pig. He must be tired of living.

"Are you awake?"

A sweet voice came from outside the door, interrupting Roccod's thoughts. He quickly hid the metal piece in his pocket and put on a weak expression.

The door opened and a young girl in a white uniform walked in. She had long, smooth golden hair and clear, bright blue eyes, like an angel who had fallen into the mortal world.

"I'm your personal nurse. You can call me Lily." The girl walked to the bedside and skillfully measured his temperature and blood pressure. "How do you feel? Are you feeling unwell?"

Roccod shook his head and said weakly, "I'm fine, but I still have a little strength."

"This is normal. After all, you just woke up." Lily smiled gently, "Dr. K has instructed me to take good care of you. If you need anything, just tell me."

"Dr. K..." Rocot repeated the name in a low voice, with a sinister look in his eyes.

"Yes, Dr. K is the most amazing scientist!" Lily's tone was full of admiration, "The project he is researching can change the fate of all mankind!"

Rocot asked calmly, "What project?"

"Well..." Lily deliberately dragged out her voice and winked playfully, "I don't know either. This is top secret. Only Dr. K and a few other people know about it."

Seeing Roccod's slightly disappointed expression, Lily seemed a little reluctant. She moved closer to Roccod and said in a low voice, "However, I have heard some gossip. It is said that... Dr. K is researching a technology that can give people super powers!"

"Superpowers?" Rocot raised his eyebrows, pretending to be surprised.

"Yes, it's like in the movies!" Lily said excitedly, "Like telekinesis, teleportation, controlling elements, etc. It's so cool just thinking about it!"

Rocot observed Lily's expression calmly. The girl seemed to trust Dr. K very much and had no idea that she had become a pawn in the hands of others.

"What about you? Do you want to have super powers?" Rocot suddenly asked.

"Of course I do!" Lily answered without hesitation, "If I had super powers, I could..."

She suddenly stopped, a blush spreading across her cheeks, as if she realized she had let the cat out of the bag.

"Just what?" Rocot asked, a playful smile on his face.

Lily bit her lip and hesitated for a moment before whispering, "I can...protect the people I want to protect..."

Roccod keenly caught the flash of sadness in her eyes. It seems that this girl also has her own story...

"So do you think Dr. K is a good person?" Rocot suddenly asked.

Lily was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect him to ask this question, but she nodded without hesitation: "Of course, Dr. K is a good man, he saved me and gave me a job, everything I have is given by him..."

Rocot said nothing more, but smiled meaningfully.

Saved you? Gave you a job? Perhaps, this was just K's way of controlling you...

"What's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?" Lily noticed that Roccod's expression was a little strange and asked with concern.

"Nothing, I just remembered some things from the past..." Roccod retracted his thoughts and said lightly, "Can you tell me what happened before I fell into a coma?"

Lily did not suspect anything and began to tell the story of Roccod before he fell into a coma: he was found collapsed in the ruins of the garbage planet, dying, and it was Dr. K who rescued him and brought him back to the laboratory...

Rocot listened and sneered to himself.

A garbage planet, ruins, and a dying planet... What a great story you have, K!

"By the way, Dr. K said that when you are almost fully recovered, he will arrange for you to join his research project." Lily suddenly said, "You are very lucky. You are appreciated by Dr. K. This is an opportunity that many people can't even ask for!"

Roccod sneered in his heart. Opportunity? This was not an opportunity, but a trap, a trap carefully prepared for him!

"What's wrong with you? You don't seem very happy?" Lily keenly noticed Rocot's mood changes and asked with concern.

Roccod raised his head and looked into Lily's pure blue eyes, a hint of amusement suddenly rising in his heart.

This girl is really interesting...

"Nothing, I was just thinking..." Roccod paused deliberately, with a wicked smile on his face, "If I can help Dr. K complete his research, can I... have you?"

Lily was stunned at first, then her whole face turned red. She stood up in a panic and stammered, "You...what are you talking about! I...I'm your medical assistant..."

Rocot looked at her flustered back and the smile on his face deepened.

It seems that this game is becoming more and more interesting...
