Chu Zheng was momentarily startled and looked at him in confusion. "There's nothing wrong with my brain!"

"If you don't want to die, you need to let go of those obsessions," Chen Gu said indifferently. "Once you enter the generator and face the Endless Realm, any psychological defect you have will be immediately seen through by those things."

"Your resentment towards Dr. Meng Ji will become the perfect breach for them to tempt you into falling!"

Chu Zheng snorted coldly. "Are you saying that I shouldn't resent him?"

Chen Gu shook his head. "Why resent? Actually, I think the indifferent you is more suited to enter the generator. Since you've long stopped seeing him as your kin, why hold on to resentment? You can view him as someone completely unrelated to you, and this experiment is merely a collaborative relationship."

"He is the expert hosting the experiment, and you are a volunteer participant, nothing more."

"If you still hold resentment, it only shows that you care."

Chu Zheng scoffed. "I don't care at all!"

Chen Gu shrugged his shoulders, suddenly feeling that this type of communication was truly "inefficient." If he could elevate himself by one more Energy Level, he could directly employ the Fifth Energy Level of the Brain Domain Hacker's abilities and wouldn't need to persuade Chu Zheng like this—he could just implant his own thoughts into her head.

However, after Chen Gu left, Chu Zheng appeared to be deep in thought. Of course, I don't want to die, even though I've lost the abilities of a Professional. But now, under Chen Gu's training and with the support of no-expense-spared drugs, my physical fitness has greatly improved, and my future prospects look very bright. Even if this experiment fails and I can't become a Professional again, I just have to endure a few years in the agency, sign a confidentiality agreement, and then I can leave. With my skills by then, my annual salary would be over three million.

That guy's words do make some twisted sense, Chu Zheng thought. She pursed her lips, though her expression showed she didn't truly agree.

The next day, at four in the morning, the generator area began preparation once again. Dr. Meng Ji, like the previous two times, seemed no different, except that he was more stringent towards his subordinate researchers and a bit more irritable.

No one noticed anything odd about the doctor because he was always like that.

Only Gong Shuxu, the Psychological Spy, could sense the subtle "difference" in the doctor compared to before.

At five o'clock, Chu Zheng arrived—this was the time she had been notified of the day before. She was still the same, never arriving a minute early.

Chen Gu, as usual, dawdled until eight o'clock before he finally reached the generator's hall.

He stealthily observed Dr. Meng Ji and Chu Zheng, noting how they really seemed like strangers to each other, not even exchanging a glance—which in itself was abnormal. During Basler's time, Dr. Meng Ji had been very concerned about his volunteers and had asked several questions.

However, as the staff were transporting materials into the generator, Chen Gu noticed that there were a full thirty percent more resources than originally planned for the experiment!

All these resources were related to super lifeforms and exceedingly expensive. Compared to ordinary people, Dr. Meng Ji might be considered wealthy, but his salary and project bonus, when put against the luxurious affair of Professional advancement, suddenly seemed insufficient.

Without a doubt, this was Dr. Meng Ji abusing his authority for personal gain, securing these resources for Chu Zheng.

Chen Gu chuckled and shook his head. Dr. Meng Ji, what happened to your principle of 'equal treatment for all subjects'? he mused.

Chu Zheng was oblivious to everything until the generator was ready and Dr. Meng Ji announced in a calm voice, "Prepare to begin!"

She then walked into the generator on her own, sat down, and let the researcher fasten her safety buckle. Subsequently, everyone left the generator, and the airtight door sealed shut.

Inside, Chu Zheng simply closed her eyes. I really didn't want to take part in this experiment. Because of my brother, I didn't even want to become a Professional. Just when I finally had the chance to return to an ordinary life, I was forcibly dragged back by that person to serve as a volunteer—ha! More like his human guinea pig.

Throughout the experiment, Chu Zheng had remained indifferent to everything. At the beginning, she wasn't enthusiastic about the training either. After a conversation with Chen Gu, she vaguely noticed the attitudes of Shi Chenghua and Fei Ji, and a sense of pride had emerged within her: she had always been outstanding from a young age, leading the pack in all sorts of scores, including physical techniques. Being regarded as a subpar student was something she wasn't accustomed to. So, she exerted a little effort, and those two true underperformers were quickly left behind. How uninteresting, was her appraisal of this experiment.

Then, sitting inside the generator, she heard the announcement outside that the experiment had begun, followed by the sensation of the generator becoming energized, creating a special force field.

Under this force field, those precious induction resources began to dissolve…

Suddenly, Chu Zheng opened her eyes, as if she could see through the technologically aesthetic generator to a future utterly unlike the so-called "ordinary." That future... it should have been mine—belonging to the Chu Zheng who hadn't been severely injured and lost her abilities, the Chu Zheng who was a Professional.

In an instant, flashbacks emerged: the cosmic ray storm encountered on that accidental journey to becoming a Professional; the heroic actions during the Mutant assault, saving numerous innocents; and those reliant gazes of hostages during rescue missions as a special agent... They all flitted before her eyes.

If I could really become a Professional again, even without aspiring to be some dual-Professional, it would be an interesting life indeed, Chu Zheng suddenly thought. This notion had been buried deep in her heart, hidden by her past stubbornness, and was only now fully revealed.

At that moment, Chu Zheng paused, then realized, My brother... he must have felt the same way back then.

The massive induction resources decomposed into mysterious particles that fused into her body without her noticing. Suddenly feeling something, she abruptly raised her head, her eyes deep and vast, and with a thunderous sound, the boundless Endless Realm appeared before her!

Chen Gu stood with his hands behind his back next to Gong Shuxu, just outside the generator.

The two of them were twelve meters from the generator, the closest of all the personnel. Everyone else, including Dr. Meng Ji, was at a distance of thirty meters.

Suddenly, Chen Gu had a premonition and looked towards the generator. At the same time, an ear-piercing alarm went off on the monitor in front of Dr. Meng Ji, with red lights flashing incessantly: "Detection of Endless Realm intrusion!"

Dr. Meng Ji rose involuntarily, his gaze fixed on the generator. Everyone else, apart from Chen Gu, assumed he was merely concerned about the success or failure of the experiment.

The alarm grew more and more urgent. Dr. Meng Ji's heart felt like it was pounding out of his chest when he suddenly realized something, looked at the time, and exclaimed in a choked voice, "The intrusion of the Endless Realm has been ongoing for seven minutes!"
