The underground research institute of DSAS company has a large area, and many facilities are arranged very secretly.
Ruan Bai followed Du Wenshu out all the way, watching him and his grandfather go around the outside several times, enter seven or eight passwords, and open many doors. Finally, the two came to a certain elevator and were taken away. to the bottom.
Before going in, Du Wenshu specially changed into a tighter coat, put on a strange mask, and fitted a small instrument around his mouth.
He handed the same clothes and mask to Grandpa Ruan. At the same time, he also gave Grandpa Ruan a brand similar to an ID card, which he carefully put in his pocket.
"This is an ID card that can pass inside. As long as you have it, even if you don't know the password of the doors outside, you can open the door by swiping the card through the sensor below." Du Wenshu said.
After his voice was changed by the voice changer, it became full of mechanical sense.
"Teacher, what we're going to do later is to take away the things we need for the experiment," he said in a low voice, "after you go in, please stay calm."
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Ruan nodded solemnly: "I know."
After the two finished talking and were fully armed, they entered the elevator and pressed the button.
Following the blinking red light on the top of the elevator, the elevator descended slowly.
Finally, with a sharp beep, the door opened.
A chill hit his face, causing Ruan Bai in the elevator to shiver uncontrollably.
A drop in temperature is characteristic of a ghostly haunt.
Thinking of this, Ruan Bai moved his eyes and ran outside ahead of the two of them.
But before she found the players she wanted to see, she saw a scene that shocked her—
This underground research institute at the bottom is clearly a large-scale human experiment field!
Compared with the research institutes upstairs that were divided into more than a dozen laboratories and many offices, the place on the first floor is a complete area.
Numerous brains were soaked in a special liquid and neatly arranged in a row. More than a dozen large and small tubes were inserted into them, and data that Ruan Bai could not understand danced on the top of the instrument.
In addition to the brain, there are densely packed human arms, thighs, backs and other parts in other instruments.
There are also some uncomfortable scenes in some large-scale instruments that are strictly guarded, such as a human arm growing out of the mouse's back, and a baby's head embedded in the fish's head.
This kind of thing has a higher "status" than other human organs. Not only is it placed in a deeper specific position, but it is also covered by a specific glass cover.
Countless men and women wearing the same clothes and masks as Grandpa Du Wenshu and Ruan walked around with notebooks.
Through the thick masks, their eyes are cold and emotionless.
At first glance, such a scene has a creepy sense of déjà vu.
This is the most private place inside the DSAS company, and it is also an absolutely safe area that ordinary people cannot penetrate.
Even the researchers within DSAS, only a very small number of people have the qualifications to enter.
And even if they come in, they still need to wear the same mask and use the same voice changer to conceal their identities.
Except for the deputy they chose, the rest of them don't know each other at all.
In this way, the possibility of these researchers knowing each other and forming an alliance is completely eliminated.
Du Wenshu was obviously used to this kind of scene, but Grandpa Ruan should have only heard about it before. When he saw this grand and terrifying place with his own eyes, he stopped in his footsteps, as if he couldn't accept it.
Fortunately, he still remembered the purpose of his coming, and after a pause for a few seconds, he followed quickly.
Du Wenshu came here, obviously with a purpose.
He walked straight all the way, and the researchers around him were doing their own things, without looking at him or saying hello.
This may be the scenario that DSAS executives are most happy to see. No one interferes with each other, and they don't know what the other is doing.
But this also brought disadvantages, that is, after Du Wenshu died, no one else knew what his research results were and what he did.
However, Du Wenshu is dead, and the escape game system has his soul and his memory.
Why doesn't the escape game system know what Du Wenshu's research results are? Is this memory so obscure
Ruan Bai had such confusion when he first entered the game, but now, the confusion has resurfaced.
She tapped her head and stopped thinking about it. Instead, she followed Du Wenshu and Grandpa to the depths of the research institute.
As they walked further and further inside, the things soaked in the instrument became more and more strange, and the temperature in the air also dropped rapidly.
Ruan Bai could see that Grandpa Ruan, who was quite old, couldn't take it anymore, and his steps became messy. He just thought about what he had to do, so he barely supported himself and walked on.
Many of the sites here have been divided into areas. Ruan Bai still remembered that Du Wenshu's ID card and Grandpa Ruan's ID card all recorded No. 03, so they should be walking towards No. 03 research area.
Compared with so many human test objects in other research areas, the 03 area inside can even be regarded as clean, and most of the organs that appear are animal and plant organs, or some weird embryos.
Du Wenshu and the others should have come here to take something away, but at the same time, they should not be too obvious to avoid being discovered.
While Du Wenshu and Grandpa Ruan were pretending to record the data, Ruan Bai searched here openly, relying on the fact that no one else could see him.
The research institute and other places are constructed based on Du Wenshu's memory. He should have been working here for a while, and he can remember every corner clearly.
Ruan Bai turned around a few times, and found that except for a few researchers, there was no one else at all.
But she could feel that there are ghosts here
No, in other words, she could feel that there are souls here, and there are a lot of souls, otherwise it would be impossible to be so cold.
Ruan Bai turned around here in confusion for a few times, until he almost fainted, but in the end he found nothing.
She sighed, and decided to put aside the mystery of where the other players were, and go back to see Du Wenshu and grandpa first.
She had been wandering outside for about half an hour, and when she returned, Du Wenshu and Grandpa Ruan were still there pretending to record data.
The two are indeed people who have been in the laboratory for a long time. Even if they pretend to be, they are very similar, so that the people around them don't feel the slightest difference.
But when Ruan Bai left, they were still circling around different research subjects.
And when she came back, they all gathered around one of the fast-forming embryos.
This fetus is the only humanoid species among the instruments around Du Wenshu.
It seems that it should be formed by the differentiation of a person's embryo.
For some reason, the first time he saw it, Ruan Bai felt his mind was in turmoil, and his whole body became a little dazed.
At this moment, the fetus is almost formed, and the limbs have developed, as well as the head.
Ruan Bai could see more than a dozen tubes inserted into its body, and there were three extremely small tubes that just stuck together and pierced into its left hand.
… wait, three tubes
Ruan Bai was shocked when he saw this.
She lowered her head invisibly and glanced at her left hand.
On the direct direction of her left wrist, there are three small red moles in a perfect regular triangle.
A long time ago, not long after she met Gu Buchao, she specifically told Gu Buchao about this feature.
As long as there are these three moles, Gu Buchao can recognize her through them, even in a game where the identity cannot be revealed.
Could this embryo be her...
She did suspect that she was the result of research, but now that she has confirmed her inner guess, Ruan Bai still can't help but feel an indescribable emotion.
Ruan Bai was flustered, but she took a deep breath, tried to suppress the unceasing thoughts in her heart, tried to move her eyes away, and cast her eyes to other places.
Perhaps to avoid the attention of others, the position of this embryo is not very good, but it is not bad.
Grandpa Ruan has been recording around it, but Du Wenshu only stayed here for a short while before turning his head to the center of Area 03 to observe the creatures in other instruments.
Compared with the slightly nervous Grandpa Ruan, Du Wenshu's attitude can be described as leisurely, not nervous at all, but with a trace of inexplicable confidence.
Seeing this, Ruan Bai became more confused.
Logically speaking, this should be an absolutely confidential place, and researchers will not be allowed to leave with things.
But Du Wenshu acted like this, as if he was sure that he would be able to escape successfully...
Just when Ruan Bai was thinking of this, suddenly, there were several sharp chirping sounds from the door!
"Dididi! Dididi!—"
These vigilance sounds were extremely loud, like the screams of human beings, piercing deeply into everyone's ears unsuspectingly, making them panic.
What happened at the same time was that the research area was cut off.
I don't know who cut off the power supply, and the entire underground research institute was completely plunged into darkness!
This is where Du Wenshu's confidence lies... This is his confidence to ensure that his plan can be successfully implemented!
"There is a backup power supply here, and the electrical energy stored in the equipment can last for half an hour!"
A researcher's mechanical voice came from nowhere, calling out to everyone: "Everyone, hurry up and find the backup power supply, it's under the floor in your respective area!"
These researchers have undergone specific training, and they behaved very calmly in the event of unexpected power outages, without the slightest panic.
They followed the instructions and lowered their heads to search for the power source. At the same time, Du Wenshu and Grandpa Ruan should have also started to act.
Ruan Bai was very close to them. Although they were in the quiet darkness and had not passed any corners, she could clearly hear the rapid breathing of the two of them.
In addition to the sound of breathing, there are also a few slight sounds of equipment running.
Looking at this scene, Ruan Bai began to recite silently in his heart.
One second, two seconds, three seconds... ten seconds.
At the moment when she read for ten seconds, the lights in the entire underground research institute lit up again.
The dazzling white light radiated from the surroundings, which made Ruan Bai squint his eyes uncontrollably.
But when she got used to it and looked at Du Wenshu and Grandpa Ruan again, they still stood there naturally.
The expressions of the two were natural, and there was no problem with their movements. They looked no different from the other researchers here.
There was no change in all the instruments, even the embryo that was probably Ruan Bai's own was still inside.
But Ruan Bai knew after just one glance that the embryo inside was no longer her.
It has been replaced.
The research results that Du Wenshu and Grandpa Ruan took away from here were indeed her.
Ruan Bai thought, maybe this is why the escape game system and players don't know anything about Du Wenshu's secret.
He had already guessed that his soul would be taken away, so he has been intentionally concealing what the real research results are!
From the beginning of preparing for the experiment to the final finishing touch, he followed the plan meticulously and never made any mistakes.
Even if he left with the research results, he was fully prepared.
Even the escape game system with his memory, because all it can get is memory, not his thinking activities, so even it has no way of knowing what Du Wenshu took away in that short ten seconds of darkness.
The insiders of DSAS guessed that it was some kind of information obtained from the research institute, so they would send people to the village to monitor Grandpa Ruan, observe Grandpa Ruan's house and the things left behind.
They never thought that the living Ruan Bai who would grow up was the object of their longing.
Now that the darkness has passed, the only thing the system and players can see is that Grandpa Ruan's movements have become slightly unnatural.
This is because there are new "things" hidden in his baggy clothes.
Afterwards, the two continued to pretend to work here for five or six hours. Du Wenshu took Grandpa Ruan away until the sky was over and the time outside was approaching the early morning.
Still got on the elevator, still took off the mask, but when the two arrived upstairs and were about to go out, Du Wenshu stopped him.
"Teacher, you can go," he said, "I want to stay."
This time, the three words "stay" in his mouth obviously did not mean the superficial meaning, but had a deeper meaning.
Ruan Bai has very keen observation and intuition for any behavior of Du Wenshu. As soon as she heard it, she understood his intention——
He wanted to stay in DSAS company for the rest of the time to finish the work for Grandpa Ruan, also to hide the real research results.
Otherwise, when he leaves, everyone will know that he took the research results with him.
When the time comes, Grandpa Ruan, who came to visit him, will be implicated.
"No, you have to go with me today!"
Grandpa Ruan didn't seem to have expected that Du Wenshu would say this at a critical moment, and he opened his mouth to object: "It's dangerous for you to stay here, these people are simply a bunch of desperadoes, they can do anything!"
In the end, the old man trembled with anger. It seems that the internal situation of the underground research institute still frightened him.
"No, teacher, I have to stay." However, facing the respected teacher, Du Wenshu's attitude did not ease at all, "You know how to do the experiment, so there is no need for me to leave with you."
Under the dim light, he stood there upright, like a young poplar, with only a pair of deep black eyes, jumping out in this dim corner with firmness and determination that cannot be ignored.
"Teacher, please, take it and go," he said softly, "The farther you go, the better... Best, go to a place where no one can find it."
