I am Luo Men, a Transmigrator, and also a Mutant. Right now, I am very flustered because I am about to be experimented on.
"Don't be nervous, relax a bit, Number 9."
Luo Men looked at the guy in the white coat holding a syringe, smiling and speaking to him, but his heart was filled with immense sorrow.
As a Transmigrator, Luo Men had no golden finger. Under the influence of 'Mystery in the Womb,' he only awakened his past life memories now, on the operating table, echoing his death in his previous life.
However, under these circumstances, awakening his past life memories was useless. Tied to the operating table, his own ability had no offensive power. In this situation, he was basically waiting to die.
"Will I die, Doctor?"
Looking at the man in the white coat, Luo Men couldn't remember his name, but everyone in the lab called him Doctor.
"Don't worry, my child, you will survive."
Looking into the boy's black pupils, the Doctor revealed a gentle smile. With a soft motion, he inserted the syringe into Luo Men's arm, then slowly injected the azure liquid, tinged with a hint of silver, from the syringe into Luo Men's body.
"Of course, the chance of survival is roughly one in ten thousand. I truly hope you are the successful one."
Looking at the black-haired boy on the operating table, the words the Doctor didn't say flashed through his mind.
After the Doctor finished pushing the liquid from the syringe, the boy's eyes instantly widened, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his entire body began to tremble incessantly, as if enduring some terrifying pain.
The boy, with a distorted face, wanted to roar but couldn't make any sound. After a long while, his body finally went limp and soft, no longer making any unnecessary movements.
"This time it was quite quiet. Did it fail again?"
As time passed, watching the boy's pupils gradually lose their luster, and then the electrocardiogram on the side turned into a straight line, the Doctor's eyes also showed regret.
He didn't have much prejudice against Mutant. The threat of Mutant was merely something extracted and specifically targeted by those with ulterior motives.
Just like after Mutant seemingly disappeared, what difference was there between what those Super Heroes faced now and the Mutant of the past?
The exceptional are, after all, envied by the mediocre.
Taking a look at the boy on the operating table, the Doctor reached out and closed the boy's lifeless eyes, then called for staff to handle it.
Two strong black men walked in. Looking at the boy on the operating table, they felt nothing. They untied the straps binding the boy, then together they lifted the boy's body and headed to the morgue.
They casually placed the boy's body on a bed in the corner and pulled a white sheet over him.
"Iron Man seems to have been showing up less often lately."
"Although I don't like this playboy, he is, after all, an excellent scientist. Maybe he's researching something."
"Forget it, who cares what he's doing. I hope there won't be any major disasters this year."
"I hope so."
As the two men's voices faded into the distance, the entire morgue fell silent once again.
"Whoosh!"
Beneath the white sheet, Luo Men suddenly opened his eyes and began to gasp violently, like someone who had just surfaced from drowning.
"Didn't die?"
Luo Men, however, did not immediately get up.
After the Doctor injected the medicine, Luo Men felt his entire body's blood begin to circulate at high speed, and a pain spread throughout his body. This change even penetrated into deeper levels of his body.
Amidst such drastic changes, just as Luo Men felt he was about to explode at any moment, his soul suddenly seemed to begin a Sublimation, entering some unknowable and wonderful realm.
Later, after Luo Men seemed to establish some mysterious connection with some existence, his soul returned to his physical body again.
The specific experience was somewhat similar to Doctor Strange's first meeting with Ancient One, where he was slapped and his soul left his body, entering an astral projection state.
Feeling his own state, and the information continuously transmitted from that ethereal connection, Luo Men did not move immediately. Instead, he calmed down and comprehended everything.
"Another one died. The Doctor's experiment has a really high mortality rate."
"Indeed."
Hearing the door open, Luo Men, who was under the white sheet, quickly controlled his breathing, minimized his movements, and then listened intently.
However, the two men did not linger. After placing the body down, they left the morgue directly.
After waiting for a moment, Luo Men got down from his bed and also lifted the white sheet on the adjacent bed. Seeing the blond boy lying on the bed, his memories from this life seemed to have some impression of him.
If he remembered correctly, this guy was considered relatively charismatic in the lab, but everyone was strictly supervised, so this Charisma was very limited. Due to the distance, the two had no communication.
"Not completely dead yet? Let me try my evolved ability."
Looking at the blond boy's corpse, Luo Men, through a special perception, determined that the blond boy was not completely dead, or rather, not yet brain-dead. He had some thoughts in his mind, then focused his attention on observing the blond boy.
"Leadership Charisma??? Born to Be King"
"What's going on?"
Looking at the blond boy, Luo Men also frowned, with some speculation in his heart.
Luo Men's previous ability was very useless, called Mirror Control. It could only control reflections in mirrors, with no other use. It was a very weak ability, only slightly stronger than the Epsilon-level that turns into monsters, considered a Delta-level Mutant, officially called a Level 2 Mutant.
But after being injected with the Doctor's medicine, and his soul undergoing some unknown changes, Luo Men's ability also evolved.
First was the increase in level, from Delta-level to Beta-level, which is a Level 3 Mutant. And the ability itself also underwent huge changes. He called the evolved ability Mirror Mastery.
In addition to the most basic Mirror Control ability, two new abilities emerged.
And what he was using on the blond boy right now was one of them, Mirror Replication, which allowed him to see and replicate others' abilities.
However, this dying blond boy's own ability seemed to be constantly changing, sometimes Leadership Charisma, sometimes Born to Be King. As it changed back and forth, the blond boy's soul aura also grew weaker.
"Could it be that the Doctor's medicine is really useful? But under normal circumstances, can we not withstand the changes brought by the evolution of abilities?"
Looking at the blond boy's changes, Luo Men had some guesses in his mind. He seemed to have had a similar situation before, but some accident seemed to have occurred, which completely reversed what would have been an inevitable failure and death.
"He's almost completely dead, hurry and replicate it, just this Born to Be King!"
Dispelling distracting thoughts, and looking at the boy whose soul aura was growing weaker, Luo Men seized the opportunity. After Leadership Charisma changed to Born to Be King, he quickly replicated the ability called Born to Be King.
Just as he successfully replicated it, he saw the blond boy's ability degenerate back into Leadership Charisma, and then his soul aura completely disappeared.
"I will avenge you."
Looking at the blond boy's corpse, Luo Men thought to himself.
This was the first time he had witnessed the demise of a life. Luo Men seemed to have a clearer understanding of the fragility of life.
"Even Mutant, life is so fragile. But with superpowers, there are infinite possibilities. I don't want to end like this..."
