Vol1
Caroline looked at Rand in the laboratory with a livid face, and the latter had been quietly waiting for her reply after she finished speaking. That kind of gentle attitude was disgusting. Caroline turned her head sideways and nodded to a staff member, who then closed the observation port.
From Rand's point of view, the transparent membrane turned mercury silver again, and he felt a little confused—but only for a moment, and after a few minutes he blinked blankly by the pool, then returned. To the corner that he regarded as a bed.
"He won't feel any pain. Ms. Caroline."
A researcher, who may have heard some nonsense message, seems to have mistaken Caroline's stare at Rand for concern, and approached her and said to her flatteringly.
"Ha ha… "
Caroline grinned and sneered.
But the strange thing is that Caroline always felt relieved and happy after seeing Rand being arrested, but when she saw the carefree man, the resentment in her heart became more than before. thick. Maybe even God stood behind that cowardly man, she thought, while everyone was suffering, Rand Sievers, who caused all this tragedy, stayed forever in that carefree man. when.
He directly escaped the pain and sadness because he had no memory of them at all...
Caroline saw the unusual parts of Rand's body again, the scales and the gills behind the ears. The close-ups of those parts were being displayed on the screen on the wall, where several scientists were discussing and studying.
From the perspective of appearance and ability, Rand has been separated from the human species, but genetically, he is indeed a human. That name, is Rand Sivers now a human or... a research creature? Caroline thought to herself, and then she couldn't help but speak to the flattering researcher.
"Oh, that... judging from the Emerald Station incident, I'm sorry that Mr. Rand Sivers is no longer a human, especially considering his various unique abilities and his previous experiments. The horrific consequences of body 7371 together... ahem, we're trying to negotiate with the Department of Defense to get Mr. Rand Sivers classified as 'human', which would save him a lot of special testing on experimental creatures …”
The staff member continued to speak as if he had received a great reward, but before he could finish his words, Caroline interrupted him directly.
"no need."
she says.
"What, what?"
"I said no," Caroline said after looking at the staff member with resting eyes. "In my opinion, Rand Sivers is better suited to live as an experimental creature," perhaps because of her The conclusion was too straightforward, and even the staff was startled. He stared at Caroline blankly, that look was too explicit. After a moment of silence, Caroline added: "After all, the accident at Emerald City Center Station was too serious. If Rand Sievers is positioned as a 'human', I am afraid the government and the public will not let him go. I'm sure even he himself can't take it all. And most importantly," Caroline looked at the excited crowd in the lab, her sneer deepening little by little, "he's really very valuable for research, isn't it? ?"
"Yes, but..."
From a genetic point of view, Rand Sievers is indeed human and he has the right to inherit Vinson Sievers. If the Pentagon wants to cancel Vinson's identity, then Rand Sievers will take over Vinson. All of the property, including the shares of Deep White…
Looking at the speechless Mr. Flatterer, Caroline looked away indifferently.
She believes it's not too difficult to change Rand from "human" to "animal", especially since he has the right to inherit Vincent. For example, Anderson would not allow someone like Rand to become a major shareholder in the company. He managed to climb to that position, and he would never allow anyone to shake his position.
He will help her, obediently convince the government to let them characterize Rand as an experimental animal, and only by becoming the latter, the deep white staff can carry out "radical" experiments on Rand.
Perhaps, the research on Rand can wake up Vincent.
With this in mind, Caroline firmed her mind even more.
…
Vol2
Rand could not remember the first time he had woken from his sleep.
Every time he felt as if he had a very heavy dream, so that after he woke up, there would always be a blank in his mind for a while.
He could feel some disobedience, but the disobedience always slipped away so fast that Rand would never be able to figure out where that weird feeling came from.
He raised his head and looked at the wall, where the wall was always white, with a blue tinge that made it feel like the cold white light would never go out, including when he slept, he had been bothered by it... maybe He should have asked the "nurses", the lights were so disturbing to sleep... But Rand didn't know why he didn't remember to mention it.
He's almost unable to judge the passage of time... How long has he been here
do not remember.
Why is he in this room
do not remember.
What exactly does he need to do
do not remember.
…
The days here are so fixed that each wake up day is always a repetition of the previous day.
Even Rand, who was always forgetful because of his damaged brain, was gradually affected by the situation, and he became depressed and silent and a little worried—even if he didn't even know what he was worried about.
However, after being awakened today, Rand instinctively felt that this day was different from many days before.
He didn't know why he felt this way, it was like a hunch, or some insignificant particles from the exhaust fan were blown into his "ward" along the transparent air-conditioning wind.
Rand could smell that special, tense atmosphere in the air: people sweat unconsciously when they're nervous, their heart beats faster, their body temperature rises, but their fingertips drop. Characteristics that directly cause their sweat to subtly change as it spreads through the air.
And Rand can always easily capture this small change.
"Rand Sivers."
Someone was speaking to him on the microphone, and Rand listened blankly, but his degenerated ears were causing him a lot of trouble.
He could only barely hear a few broken words.
"...cooperate...resonance...investigate..."
"Sorry, I can't hear you clearly."
Rand put his ear next to the sound generator in great pain, but couldn't hear the words at all, "Please cooperate with us in the 'Siren' experimental animal resonance test, we will investigate your close ties with other sirens. Spend."
Moreover, no one came to explain this to him at all.
Rand was still struggling with the sounder, but soon there was a humming mechanical sliding above his head.
A black opening appeared in the ceiling.
At the edge of the opening, drops of mucus tickled down...
The cold wind from the opening made Rand turn his head slowly, and he just saw the appearance of "that thing".
"Snapped… "
With a wet crashing sound, a strange creature covered in mucus fell to the ground like that, but after a few seconds, it began to wriggle on the ground.
Rand doesn't know how to describe the monster...
It looks like a mix of catfish and some kind of primate, with a mottled black and grey surface, showing rusted aluminum water pipes, and unusually large fins near the fish's tail, and The upper body is covered with a thick golden face. It had a gorilla-like face, with a protruding mouth and sunken eyes - those bright red eyes that seemed to be on fire, emitting a beast-like glow.
Experiment No. 261, the replacement before the human experiment, a chimpanzee was alienated after being infected with sirens, its name is Mary... Before the experiment, researchers had expected that its friendliness to humans would continue after the sirenization. (It used to be a very popular circus star before, but animal activists were hostile to animal performances, the circus was disbanded after countless tunings, and Mary was experimented on animals by Deep White after many rounds. room reception), but the effect is very poor.
"Old, God..."
Rand subconsciously grasped Stitch in his hand after seeing it, he stepped back little by little, and in a moment, the strange thing on the ground had completely got rid of the mucus, and was taking a step. Step by step toward Rand.
"Huchi... Huchi..."
Rand could even hear that horrible sound coming out of its throat.
His breathing also began to quicken.
There's something wrong with that monster...
he thinks.
On the other side of the film, a researcher looked at his companion with a strange expression.
"Experimental body number 261? Did you make a mistake?!"
He couldn't help but repeat it.
"Are you trying to kill our precious Rand Sivers? That damned monster has just been trained in the agony of weapons and is now in a cooling off period for humans, you should let it out now and talk to Ran. De Sivers contact, it is simply to let Rand die..."
"There is nothing we can do, the order from above."
His companion said with a bitter face.
"God..."
…
Rand didn't know that there were two people at the other end of the laboratory discussing his fate. Now he can't care about anything else. He has been unknowingly pushed by the "catfish monster" that is constantly approaching. into the corner—the latter was staring at him, thick mucus dripping from his mouth.
“*&*…%￥…”
It let out a series of muffled shouts, and its fingernails automatically popped out of its shaggy black fingers as it approached Rand...
Rand felt that he could hardly breathe.
Some kind of chaotic emotion is seeping through him...
Pain, despair, grief...
He almost burst into tears—these emotions weren't his own, they were more like poured into him from some other container. He didn't know what was going on, but he quickly noticed the "monster".
Its face still looked terrifyingly terrifying, and there was nothing more ridiculous and terrifying than a gorilla on a fish's tail.
[I want to jump... I want to catch lice...]
[it hurts…]
[Banana... don't want to eat meat...]
[Companion... woo woo... Companion...]
The emotion that seeped into Rand became more intense and concrete as the other person got closer.
Rand's fear of it had completely disappeared, and he felt as if... as if he could feel some of the other person's thoughts, or rather, the emotions and fragments of memories that remained in the other person's mind.
"Hey guy… "
He didn't know why he suddenly opened his mouth.
