Help! The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama!

Chapter 800: Chapter 647: Secrets of the Past (Part 4)

This mark is bound to the soul and will never disappear unless death occurs.

Yue Lin suddenly felt a chill throughout his body, as a sliver of suspicion finally took shape: the internal spy he sent had already been swapped out.

It’s not the same person at all!

But how was this possible?

The appearance, vibe, and memories all matched, how could it be another unrelated stranger?

Yue Lin suddenly recalled that although he frequently visited the laboratory, he always stayed on the first floor and had never been to other areas, nor did he know the laboratory’s layout or what the Hand of Creation was truly researching.

He only knew that the place engaged in gene research; beyond that, he was clueless.

A word flashed in his mind—Replication.

It was rumored that some crazy scientists attempted to replicate lower life forms using genetic technology years ago, and theoretically, if successful, they could also replicate more advanced beings, like the Beastman.

But this notion was way too crazy, challenging ethical limits, and was eventually collectively resisted and blocked by various parties, leaving only some rumors trickling down.

Yue Lin found many related reports, which didn’t specify whether the experiments succeeded, but overnight, all information was sealed by the top tiers, seemingly causing great panic.

Something causing such panic wouldn’t just be an unsuccessful experimental plan.

So very likely... the experiment was successful at that time.

The deeper Yue Lin investigated, the more shocked he became. He increasingly suspected that the Hand of Creation was secretly conducting such experiments, yet he never found concrete evidence.

Until one day, Xun Fu showed him the photo of a little wolf cub.

To be honest, Yue Lin didn’t react at the time, but upon reflecting on Shen Tang’s words afterward, he suddenly awakened,

Could that child... actually be connected to him?

Because it looked so much like him. Yue Lin later specifically compared his childhood photos, and the little wolf cub resembled him about seventy to eighty percent.

Perhaps there are coincidences in the world, but at this point, he preferred to believe in that ”accident.”

Besides a personal reason, Yue Lin wanted to keep Xun Fu also considering this aspect.

During later interactions, he deliberately probed whether Xun Fu had photos of her friend.

Unfortunately, Shen Tang had no photos with Yun Han, nor did she keep his photos, and Yue Lin ultimately couldn’t see his appearance.

But Xun Fu had repeatedly mentioned how the two looked almost identical.

If the ”Replication” experiment was real, had his genes long been stolen by the laboratory and another version of himself replicated?

This sort of mad technology would certainly face resistance and might not be entirely mature, the Hand of Creation would never make it public, nor would they place the replica on Eris Star; if discovered, it would only spell trouble.

They likely deployed the replica into an unknown world.

The universe is vast; existing beastman worlds with similar civilizations aren’t uncommon.

Over the years, the Hand of Creation has recruited a large number of Beastmen, yet it seems not to need so many people. Many Beastmen vanished after entering, or returned after a long absence.

These missing Beastmen were likely dispatched to perform tasks on other planets.

Yue Lin’s pupils shrank abruptly, his heartbeat skipped a beat, as a figure that shouldn’t exist appeared in his mind,

Xun Fu...

Could she also not be a Beastman from Eris Star but come from another world?

No wonder she seems so mysterious, like appearing out of thin air, with no trace of past existence.

This made everything make sense.

And the Beast Husband she’s desperately searching for...

Perhaps who she’s truly looking for isn’t Shou Jin, but his replica!

At this moment, Yue Lin was enlightened, his breathing turned rapid.

And a staff member was approaching with a sterilized syringe, ready to draw blood.

Yue Lin suddenly put down his sleeve and asked, ”Over the years, what have you used my blood for?”

The staff member smiled, ”Naturally it’s for your health check, please cooperate, Young Master.”

Yue Lin squinted his eyes and slowly said, ”Since my health is completely normal, why do you need to check every year? Is it truly a checkup or... there’s another purpose?”

”Young Master, I don’t understand what you mean.”

Yue Lin secretly clenched his palm.

He had actually guessed their intentions,

The annual checkup was merely to test whether the ”experiment” met the standards, requiring him, the normally developing ”entity,” as a reference baseline.

He wanted to make a move but was clear he couldn’t tear face with the laboratory now. The Hand of Creation’s current power had faintly overridden the Six Great Families, far from something he could easily shake.

Just then, a red alert suddenly sounded in the laboratory, causing all the staff to stir,

”Not good! The laboratory in Hunting Leopard Royal City encountered a level-one invasion, barely holding on!”

”They sent a request for support over there!”

”Immediately dispatch the army and send reinforcements!”

The two laboratories were closest, and Moon Wolf Royal City’s side was affected as well, suddenly in chaos.

There’s a special Teleportation Channel between laboratories, and they instantly split half of the staff to rush for assistance.

Yue Lin’s mind spun, using the chaos to follow them.
