Weird Rules Rumor: At The Beginning, He Insisted That He Was Not Dead-Chapter 108: Genetic Tower (7)

The Analyzer was a device worn by Bai Lian over his eyes. It could analyze any object within his field of vision and was unique equipment for players.

For example, Lin Ya, who now stood before him. When Bai Lian looked at her, the Analyzer displayed basic dаta:

【Race: Human】

【Composition: Carbon-based】

【Flaws: Cataracts, fat accumulation around the waist...】

This analysis was brutally accurate. Lin Ya’s fat had indeed settled precisely where the Analyzer indicated.

Bai Lian had made that remark because he suspected Lin Ya was also a player! After all, logically, only players themselves knew the details of their tasks. How else could she have known about his mission?

There were a few possibilities:

She might have encountered another player earlier and obtained critical information from them.

She herself was a player!

But this raised another issue: How could someone with cataracts survive this long in such a state?

It was worth noting that players didn’t start with heightened sensory perception—they developed it through clearing dungeons and earning rewards.

Of course, rare cases existed where someone was born with extraordinary perception, but Lin Ya clearly wasn’t one of them.

【Can someone explain what Bai Shen meant by saying she also has an Analyzer? I’m lost!】

【Isn’t it obvious? Bai Shen suspects Lin Ya is a player. Only players have Analyzers!】

【This woman knows the details of Bai Shen’s task. She’s probably the other player!】

【Right. Bai Shen replaced the original Dr. Bai and became a researcher. Other players might’ve ended up as staff members in the Genetic Tower too.】

【Have you watched the walkthrough for the Genetic Tower? Tell us what’s really going on!】

【Better not spoil. I hate people who ruin surprises. I’ll decide when I want spoilers myself.】

【The guy above is just terrible! If guides weren’t so expensive, I’d spoil everything too!】

...

The livestream viewers also grasped Bai Lian’s implication. If Lin Ya turned out to be a player, his attitude toward her would shift drastically! For him, NPCs were tools to exploit, but players had to die!

“Do you mean this device on your eyes?” Lin Ya smiled faintly, as if oblivious to his meaning, and asked:

“I was just about to ask—is this your new invention? As I recall, you’ve always loved tinkering with odd gadgets.”

Bai Lian closely observed her microexpressions. When people lied, microexpressions—not their eyes—betrayed them most.

Throughout their conversation, Lin Ya’s gaze and demeanor remained perfectly natural. Bai Lian detected no tells.

Either she wasn’t lying, or her control over her expressions was masterful.

Bai Lian leaned toward the former—the latter seemed too implausible.

“How do you know I’m searching for data?” Bai Lian asked.

“Simple,” Lin Ya replied, unbuttoning her collar slightly to relieve pressure. The tight fabric had been stifling her.

“You’ve been sneaking into various labs, trying to find specimen data but failing. All of it was caught on surveillance cameras.”

She pointed at a nearby computer screen and added:

“So far, only I know about this. No need to worry.”

So, before this, he’d already combed through labs hunting for specimen data?

Wasn’t that exactly what a player completing a task would do?

What had the real Dr. Bai been up to? Was he a covert agent infiltrating the ship?

“Then why did the ship replace his identity with yours? Why not send him directly to avoid suspicion?”

The questions multiplied, but Bai Lian welcomed it. Smooth sailing always felt suspicious.

Bai Lian paused, then asked:

“Another question: Why choose to collaborate with me?”

Hearing this, Lin Ya suddenly stood. She patted Bai Lian’s shoulder and said:

“Professor, you’re the only one in this building I can trust.”

Bai Lian: My processor just overheated…

“Wait, you’re my student?” he blurted out, then massaged his temples and added:

“I mean—when did I even teach you? I don’t remember any of this.”

If they truly had a mentor-student relationship, he might’ve accidentally exposed himself earlier.

But something felt off. If that were the case, Lin Ya wouldn’t have acted so casually before, nor shown the respect a student owed a mentor.

“Forgotten? I attended two of your lectures at the university,” Lin Ya smiled, as if anticipating his reaction.

“Well, I’ve had too many students. Easy to forget,” Bai Lian chuckled awkwardly.

Seemed he’d overthought it. If she’d only attended two lectures, his forgetfulness made sense.

“Let’s refocus. Tell me about Specimen No. 26’s condition!”

Bai Lian steered the conversation back on track.

“Why eliminate Specimen No. 26? Personal grudge?”

Lin Ya shook her head:

“If there’s any grudge, it’s his hatred for us. I have no reason to hate him. I just want him gone to advance the experiment.”

“Don’t overthink it,” she added. “I just want to finish this experiment and leave this building as soon as possible.”

A reasonable explanation. Bai Lian saw no point doubting her—for now.

“Current situation: Specimen No. 26 has escaped. How do we locate it? To deal with it, we need to find it first,” Bai Lian said, sharing intel from his notes.

Specimen No. 26 had fled through the lab’s ventilation shafts, vanishing without a trace. The building had hundreds of floors—searching such vast space for a mobile creature seemed impossible.

Bai Lian refused to waste time on futile searches—too inefficient.

“No need. It’ll come to us,” Lin Ya stared intently at Bai Lian.

Bai Lian sensed trouble and asked:

“Why?” freёnovelkiss.com

“Because you led it here. Your previous research involved Specimen No. 26. According to past data, after escaping, it will seek you out for revenge,” Lin Ya explained.

Bai Lian pondered. Well then…

What could he say? This was… convenient!

At that moment, Lin Ya spoke again:

“Now, let’s address another issue—your biological samples.”

Bai Lian raised an eyebrow:

“Aren’t you handling that?”

“Of course. But too many samples have gone missing from the lab. The remaining ones likely aren’t enough,” Lin Ya nodded.

“To gather sufficient biomaterials, we’ll need to find a way to bring in new specimens,” she concluded.
