Can’t go back…
Bai Wu looked at the warning in the notes and became interested.
"Wujiu's strength is not so strong that she can't escape, but to go back, she has to use the return wheel. Without this step, she can't go back. The poor little thing is in the fourth building... Then I can probably guess what she's doing."
Bai Wu directly pressed the third floor of the elevator. Wu Jiu asked again:
"Why go to the third floor?"
"The clue is on this floor."
"You give me the feeling that you have been here before. This is not a conclusion that can be drawn by reasoning. I need an explanation."
The previous conversation with Eduo and the detail that the key was in Eduo's stomach made Wujiu begin to suspect that Baiwu seemed to have other sources of clues.
Bai Wu had already anticipated that he might make some choices and actions that others could not understand because of the notes, so he explained:
"I don't like to explain, but since the captain asked sincerely, I will tell you reluctantly. When you were on the eleventh floor of the first building, you heard the call of the evil, which caused your emotions to fluctuate and attracted its resentment. I went to find the source and entered the room in the corner."
"Why do you think that room was the source?"
Wujiu's logic is very rigorous, but in a world full of weird and supernatural things, Bai Wu is not panicked at all:
"Maybe my mood swings are low, and the voices I hear are different from yours."
"What did you find in that room?" Wujiu continued to ask.
"A choice question. The voice of the Evil whispered in my head, asking me to make a choice. The Evil itself was not in the room, it left the key, the file, and the comb; and told me that I had to choose two out of three things."
The elevator had already reached the third floor, but everyone was listening carefully to Bai Wu's explanation of the previous clues.
Bai Wu looked serious and continued to make up a story half-truthfully:
"I chose the file and the comb."
"Why not choose the key? And why can't you choose both?" The question was asked by Lin Wurou.
"Because if you choose two of them, the remaining items will disappear. The reason why I didn't choose the key is because the key corresponds to a lock. The things locked outside the tower, whether good or bad, are risky."
Everyone nodded. Bai Wu's judgment made sense. Only Wujiu's expression became more solemn.
It's not that he doesn't trust Bai Wu. On the contrary, because he trusts his teammates, he feels more and more that the evil creature Bai Wu mentioned is very powerful.
"The files contain many things, such as the various arrangements for the second building and some strategies for the third building. The reason why I was able to have a conversation with that evil man named Elijah was because of the data in the files."
"Where are the files?"
"It disappeared. Just like the key, it disappeared after I read the file. Only this comb is still there, but it will disappear after it has fulfilled its mission."
Bai Wu's inference was reasonable and no one suspected it.
"You were in there not long ago. Have you memorized everything in the file?"
Since it is a file, there is naturally a lot of content, so Lin Wurou's worries are normal.
Recalling Lin Daiyu's argument, Bai Wu said calmly:
"Isn't photographic memory a standard feature of this group?"
Lin Wurou stopped talking. To be more precise, the entire group fell silent.
"What else is in the file?" Wujiu asked.
"The clue is on the third floor. Start looking there. Also, follow me closely and don't fall behind."
"Gone?"
"Of course there are more, but I'll tell you when I need them. Also..."
Bai Wu glanced at everyone, paused for a moment and said seriously:
"In a team with no blind spots, everyone should have their own role and do their own job. My role is the eyes, that is, the observer, so don't question my words. The habit of explaining everything is good, but it is not suitable for a team where people trust each other with their lives. And eliminating doubts can improve team efficiency."
In terms of running-in alone, Wujiu and the others had no reason to trust Bai Wu. After all, this was the first time they formed a team, so questioning was the right thing to do, and Bai Wu was well aware of that.
But he still said this. On the one hand, in order to be able to use the Eye of Prell more smoothly in the future, he must start from now on to let them establish a kind of thinking inertia of "Bai Wu is responsible for thinking, and I am responsible for doing things."
On the other hand, he wondered how the captain would react.
Wujiu was very calm, which made Bai Wu's evaluation of the captain improve a little.
When they came out of the elevator to the third floor, they all felt an indescribable weird atmosphere.
All the bloody lines seen at the registration desk of the first building were again spread all over the walls of the third building.
No one knew what these winding symbols meant, and the note that Bai Wu saw simply mentioned that it was a part of the formation.
The information provided by the Eye of Prell was limited, but there was no warning, so Bai Wu began to look for clues.
The third floor of the third building used to be where the hospital stored medical records.
The structure here is different from the other floors. There are not many rooms. Instead, the rooms are combined into an archive display room.
Outside the showroom, Yin Shuang suddenly stopped.
"You came to see me..."
A gentle voice floated past Yin Shuang's ears.
"I'm outside, please come find me, sister, I miss you so much..."
Yin Shuang turned around. The voice was bewitching. It was like a sister she hadn't seen for a long time was calling her.
But Yin Shuang didn’t have a younger sister, so she looked dazed and prepared to walk against the flow.
"Where are you going?"
The others were originally observing the symbols around them, but when Bai Wu suddenly spoke, they suddenly realized that Yin Shuang had unknowingly fallen behind the team and was about to fall behind.
"I heard a voice." Yin Shuang woke up from her daze.
Wujiu Tong's eyes suddenly shrank. This was his dereliction of duty as captain. The patterns on the wall made him distracted for a moment.
"No sound, take a deep breath and suppress your emotions."
29.
Yin Shuang was surprised to find that the value on the watch suddenly jumped from a single digit to 29...
But she felt no fear.
Fear, anger, and sadness, the three negative emotions manifested themselves differently, and Bai Wu quickly deduced the result:
"The conclusion we have learned now is that people will become evil when they experience extreme negative emotions. Whether it is anger or sadness, their past will inevitably arouse empathy, but they are no longer human."
Yin Shuang looked at Bai Wu and was surprised at his calmness that was inconsistent with his age.
"Everyone, speak up immediately the moment you hear any sound."
Bai Wu is now certain that his guess is correct. The poor little thing is imprisoned in the fourth building, but the third and fourth buildings are too close, and the resentment's means of attack are more diverse.
It's no longer just the arm attack in the first building, it's very likely that hallucinations will appear frequently in the third building.
He suddenly remembered the little girl in red who flashed on the road from time to time in his extreme panic.
…
…
The most eye-catching building on the third floor is the archives display room.
After the incident where Yin Shuang fell behind, the group came to the archives display room.
Seven hundred years have passed, but the archives exhibition room does not seem that dirty or messy.
It was the first time for Wujiu to see so many documents outside the tower.
Although it may not contain the historical truth he wants to find, he can learn as much as possible about things before the Tower Era.
Just when he was about to touch the file, Bai Wu suddenly stopped him:
"Captain, don't touch it."
"What's wrong?"
"These files... are not normal. You'd better not read them."
Bai Wu was not exaggerating. When the focus was on the files, the notes did not explain any single file:
There are many evil experiments on display here, but it is best not to open them easily, because the poor little guy has added some material to these books. When you read the files, you will feel the pain suffered by the experimental subjects. Do you think the poor little guy has used his ability in the wrong place? Ten thousand people wrote in blood, and Japanese movies also need this (1/10000)
In short, the archives are not presented in the form of text, but in the form of memory, directly instilled into the reader's mind.
Reading these files will allow readers to empathize with the people involved.
After Bai Wu briefly explained the situation, the team fell silent again.
Anyone with a little empathy, any normal person, can imagine the horrific torture these patients will suffer before they become evil.
Even the most iron-blooded Wang Shi was not sure that he could read these files calmly.
If it is really a memory implant, it is equivalent to suffering the same pain, and it is possible that one will degenerate into evil on the spot.
"So this is the most dangerous building... If we hadn't had the information Bai Wu had seen before, and we had just looked through these files..."
Wang Shi felt scared because the captain's hand had already touched the cover of the file.
Bai Wu didn't expect that there was a trap here.
If it is a memory implant, then there will be no chance to even touch the return wheel, and it will directly turn into evil.
"Are these files worth reading?" Wujiu withdrew his hand and asked seriously.
Bai Wu nodded:
"This is also part of history. Although it is microscopic, this hospital studies evil. Even if the origin of evil is not recorded in it, we can find some research results on the characteristics of evil through these perverted experimental records."
"So what should we do? The file tells you that the clue is on the third floor, but there is no way to find the clue." The speaker was Yin Shuang.
"Only the most courageous, the most heartless, and the least tempered person would look through these medical records." Lin Wurou hinted.
The courageous people will not be afraid, the heartless people will not be sad, and the people without temper will not be angry.
Bai Wu didn't care about Lin Daiyu's wrong choice of words and substitution of concepts. After all, he was too lazy to explain why he lacked empathy, so he directly pulled out a medical record.
Before opening the medical records, Bai Wu said:
"Just stand here and don't move. If you hear any noise, try to remain calm."
The medical records were in the second row of the archive display room, on the upper shelf of bookshelf No. 1. There were thousands of medical records here, and Bai Wu was not sure if what he was looking at was what he needed.
You can only read them in order to find the arrangement pattern.
"2025.0407. There was a problem with the serum exchange experiment between Ding Jiu and Yi Liu. Doctor Liu and I decided to seek help privately. Although the dean has clearly stipulated that we cannot ask that person for help, we all know that his research on evil is far superior to ours. But before that, I must at least make Ding Jiu stronger so that that person will look at me with new eyes."
Before Bai Wu could finish reading the first paragraph, he had already seen the hallucination.
Wujiu, Yin Shuang, Lin Wurou, Shang Xiaoyi, and Wang Shi were all gone, and the surrounding bookshelves also suddenly disappeared.
He collapsed on the hospital bed, looking at the back of a doctor, who seemed to be recording something and preparing some reagent.
Bai Wu found that he couldn't move and his body felt hot and cold.
At this time, the original patient - that is, the experimental subject - was in great pain. It had been injected with a higher level of evil serum, and its body was undergoing mutation.
It's like living death.
If someone else were to enter this memory, without the insensitivity to pain of the evil, it would only become more painful, and then produce negative emotions.
Bai Wu didn't. He frowned not because of pain. This feeling would only make his brain abnormally active. He just had a headache because he was in the memory of evil and could not use the Eye of Prell.
"In this way, the information I can obtain is very limited..."
Because he was unable to empathize with E'duo's emotions at the time, Bai Wu woke up not long after, before the doctor had even finished recording.
The scene in front of me changed again.
He smiled and thought that this was a really good experience, except that the patients in the medical records were too fragile.
He started reading the second paragraph.
"2025.0409. I really wanted to use the formula I summarized before meeting that person to make Ding Jiu have Bing Si's sense of smell. But damn, Bing Si's serum actually made Ding Jiu grow scales! All my conclusions are wrong! Wrong! The deformation of the evil... There is no pattern at all, and it is impossible to control! What kind of power makes them become evil, there is no way to know..."
The memory started again.
This time, Bai Wu saw "himself" and was angry and frightened because of the scales growing, so he pulled out his scales one by one.
It is of course very painful to pull something growing on your body off by force.
Bai Wu frowned again, not because of the pain, but because he felt sorry for the scales.
Whereas when he was communicating with Elijah, he saw the note that Elijah possessed a rare distortion entry: Block.
Bai Wu felt that this was most likely a property brought by the scales.
So he tried to dissuade her:
"Don't pull it out. It's not unacceptable to have scales. Who doesn't want to grow scales? In our country, everyone is proud of being able to grow scales. People without scales are not worthy of finding a partner."
This nonsense consolation will naturally have no effect and may even make the other person go crazy.
The reason why it didn't go berserk was because the owner of the scales couldn't hear the sound of the white mist.
The reader is only in the memory of the owner of the scales, feeling the same pain as the other person, but cannot communicate with the person in the memory.
Bai Wu feels that this function is still imperfect. Even if the poor guy really uses this ability in Japanese movies, you can only follow the plot and cannot let the actors change postures in the middle. What's the fun in that
The plan of writing a blood petition by ten thousand people was aborted.
He returned from his memory again and began to turn to the next page.
During this process, Wujiu and others indeed sensed some kind of evil energy fluctuations, which seemed to be pulling the white mist.
But the value on Bai Wu's watch... is still zero.
As the ace team of the ace team, Wujiu and others have experienced the degeneration of their teammates...
They knew how terrible that kind of memory would be, so they found Bai Wu's calmness incredible.
Yin Shuang has always believed that everyone in the team, except herself, is a monster.
But now she feels... Monsters and monsters cannot be lump together, compared to Bai Wu, they are normal people.
