Chapter 535：#007 the Killer King 35

“But didn’t you just say Jinkela never leaves traitors alive?” Dr. Kara asked cautiously.

He had assumed Hei Tong would be executed on the spot.

Dr. Tang glanced at him indifferently. “Jinkela does not spare traitors—but Hei Tong is an exception. He is the only one among all the killers who survived genetic modification perfectly.”

“Erase his memory. Reinstill loyalty. He’ll continue working for me as before.”

But even she hadn’t expected that he would value an artificial human so much.

Thinking of this, Dr. Tang’s gaze shifted toward Tang Wan.

Tang Wan had no emotional system.

Hei Tong technically did—but after repeated conditioning, it was almost nonexistent.

And yet, the two of them had developed feelings?

Dr. Tang frowned slightly.

Tang Wan’s heart tightened.

This is bad.

If Tong Tong’s memory was erased… wouldn’t he forget her completely?

What if his favorability dropped to zero?

Would she have to start all over again?

For the first time, she felt a trace of regret.

She had deliberately pushed Hei Tong into conflict with Dr. Tang—but she hadn’t expected Dr. Tang to be this ruthless.

At that moment, Little Cutie’s voice sounded.

“Don’t worry, Host! The male and female leads have already surrounded Jin Dao!”

Tang Wan’s eyes lit up. “What?!”

“So they’ll be here in five minutes! Just hold on!”

“I understand!” Tang Wan immediately relaxed.

Now she just needed to stall.

If only Dr. Zhou would come a little later…

But fate clearly had other plans.

Two minutes later, an elderly man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked in.

Seeing Hei Tong lying there, he paused briefly, then looked at Dr. Tang. “Doctor, you called for me?”

Dr. Zhou—the only hypnotist in the lab who knew Dr. Tang’s true identity.

“I need you to recondition Hei Tong,” Dr. Tang said coldly. “He just betrayed me. And the two of them… now that they know who I am, erase those memories as well.”

Dr. Kara and Dr. Ha both tensed.

But neither dared object.

Sometimes, the more you knew, the more dangerous it became.

Losing those memories… might actually be safer.

“Understood.” Dr. Zhou nodded.

He took out a pocket watch and began with the two doctors first.

Seeing this, Tang Wan secretly let out a breath of relief.

Good… this will take time.

But she couldn’t relax completely.

If Dr. Tang learned about the incoming attack, she might eliminate Hei Tong immediately to avoid future trouble.

She had to act—now.

Letting out another cry of pain, Tang Wan subtly twisted her wrist against the restraint.

With a quiet snap—

The metal lock broke.

Her scream covered the sound perfectly.

No one noticed that her hands were now free.

A few minutes later—

A sharp alarm suddenly blared throughout the lab.

At the same time, Dr. Tang’s phone rang.
