in the dark.

Shiraishi only felt that he was sinking continuously, as if he had fallen into the abyss of the sea. His whole body was wrapped in water, and breathing became extremely difficult.

"Are you going to die again?"

An idea emerged in his mind.

"Uh, no~"

Suddenly, Shiraishi opened his eyes, and what he saw was a light green.

Instinctively, he wanted to breathe, but he soon choked and spit out a series of blisters.

Stimulated by this, Shiraishi calmed down a bit.

Only then did he notice that there were several glass jars about two meters high standing not far in front of him.

Looking further ahead, there are dozens of similar things.

In that glass jar, there was a light green liquid, and children about two years old were soaking in it.

Not only that, Shiraishi also saw that there were dozens of pipelines of different thicknesses connected to those children, and at the other end of the pipelines were devices with unknown functions.

Seeing this scene, Shiraishi couldn't help but think of some scenes related to human experiments in science fiction movies.

"Could it be that...these are all experimental subjects?"

Bai Shi thought in his mind, but then he was startled and looked at himself hurriedly.

Just like those children, his body is also full of tubes.

Immediately, Shiraishi's face became ugly.

Not only because he was also a member of the experimental subjects, but also a question emerged in his heart, that is why he became a child.

The moment before he lost his memory, he was lying on the hospital bed, quietly waiting to be freed from the cancer.

In the past, he thought that his parents would be freed if he died.

But when he heard his parents' last heart-wrenching cries, he realized that this was just his wishful thinking.

If I had been more proactive during the treatment process, the results might have been different...

Unfortunately, there is no if in this world.

"Well, that's not right. Although I don't understand why he turned into a child, there is no doubt that he is alive again, and as long as he is alive, there is hope.

Maybe, there really is another chance in this world."

As soon as he thought about this, Shiraishi immediately looked around. The most important thing at the moment is to figure out what exactly this place is?

Just when he was thinking about where to start, there was a harsh friction sound.

Looking for a sound, Bai Shi vaguely saw two figures.

Not knowing the identity of the other party, Shiraishi did not dare to show any strangeness and hurriedly closed his eyes, but his ears perked up.

Tread~tap~tap~

As the footsteps got closer and closer, the faint sound of conversation also reached Bai Shi's ears.

When he first heard it, he was still a little unclear about its meaning, but as some hazy memories flooded into his mind, he gradually became able to understand what the other party said.

"How is the situation?" someone asked in a deep voice.

Hearing this, another slightly hoarse voice replied: "The preliminary cultivation has been completed, and the experiment is almost ready."

"When does it begin?"

"No rush."

"What's the problem?"

"Haha... No, I just got the previous experimental records from the village and plan to improve the experimental process again."

"Is that so...there's no problem."

"It is indeed a human experiment!" Shiraishi muttered to himself: "But what does 'village' mean?"

Before he could think about it, the voices of the two people came again, and their ensuing conversation made Bai Shi feel like he had fallen into an ice cave.

"Orochimaru, please don't attack the ninjas in the village recently. The ANBU has heard some rumors."

"Sarutobi-sensei..."

Orochimaru murmured and responded: "I understand."

After that, Shiraishi had no idea what the two said.

Not only because the distance was far away, he couldn't hear it anymore, but also because the words "Orochimaru", "Sarutobi", "ninja" and "ANBU" left him no time to think about anything else.

Now, he finally knew what "village" meant.

If he guessed correctly, this should be the Hidden Leaf Village, a village in a manga called "Naruto".

The two people talking just now are most likely Orochimaru and Danzo Shimura.

As a result, his current identity is very easy to guess.

······

Crunch~

When the laboratory door closed, Shiraishi opened his eyes.

His eyes swept over the children immersed in the culture tank in front of him, and he knew clearly: "It seems that I am one of the experimental subjects who, together with Yamato, fused Hashirama's cells."

After confirming this, even though he had experienced death once, Shiraishi still felt his scalp was numb.

You must know that of this batch of experimental subjects, only Yamato survived in the end, and based on the memories that just appeared in his mind, he had no way of judging the identity of the original owner.

In other words, the chance that the body he occupies happens to be that of Yamato is only one in sixty. In other words, the chance of his survival is less than 2%.

And from the conversation between Orochimaru and Danzo just now, it is not difficult to see that the experiment will begin soon.

Therefore, he must find a way to save himself.

First of all, it is definitely not possible to reveal one's identity. Not to mention revealing one's identity as a time traveler, Shiraishi would not dare to act in a way that is different from other children's.

Without him, given Orochimaru and Danzo's urinary properties, they would probably get to the bottom of any doubts.

By then, once the secret of mind reading is mastered, no secrets can be kept.

Of course, sabotaging the experiment is not feasible. Not to mention that he is just a child without any power. Even if he has the ability to cause trouble, he would not dare to do anything.

After all, Orochimaru and Danzo are not stupid people.

All kinds of thoughts were surging in his mind, but Shiraishi could never find a way to break the situation.

Before I knew it, several days passed.

Recently, Orochimaru has been coming here every day.

However, it is not an experiment, but to check their physical condition.

Finally, a new day has arrived.

Different from the past, this time Orochimaru did not come alone, there was another person beside him, it was Shimura Danzo.

In addition, he was pushing a cart full of test tubes.

Listening to the sound of the wheel rubbing against the ground, Shiraishi felt anxious. There were various signs that Orochimaru's experiment was about to begin.

For a moment, Shiraishi wanted to tear off the pipes on his body and end his life.

However, when he thought of his parents in another world, he had to be patient.

"As long as you are alive, you have a chance."

With this thought in his mind, Shiraishi quietly waited for Orochimaru's arrival.

Time passed minute by minute, and about half an hour later, Orochimaru pushed the cart and arrived in front of Shiraishi.

He clicked his fingers on the monitoring equipment nearby and frowned slightly.

Seeing this, Danzo on the side asked: "What's wrong?"

Orochimaru shook his head, glanced at Shiraishi, and said, "The heart rate of this experimental subject is a little high."

In the culture tank, Shiraishi's heart almost jumped into his throat when he heard these words.

If he hadn't experienced a long period of pain and suffering in his previous life and learned the method of quickly diverting attention to relieve pain, he might have exposed his flaws.

Without any hesitation, Shiraishi immediately shifted his attention so that his heart rate would no longer rise due to nervousness.

Although Orochimaru was extremely intelligent, he would not have thought that the experimental subject in the culture tank had been replaced. His blind spot in thinking made him think that this was just a difference between individuals.

This kind of difference is very common among the sixty experimental subjects. It's just that Shiraishi's is a little larger, but it's still within the acceptable range.

In this way, Shiraishi passed the first crisis.
