Any creature with siren cells in its body, their mind becomes a room for Rand to come and go at will.
He can easily hack into their minds, see through their eyes, hear through their ears, use their bodies to feel everything around them, and even control them for a short time if Rand wants to actions and emotions…
It has been half a month since the female researcher "lost control" in his room that day, and during this time, Rand gradually realized his special ability.
Of course, there are still some problems with his memory, he is a little more forgetful than normal people, and he still can't remember his past.
Those memory gaps still haven't been filled, which sometimes makes Rand uneasy, but in reality, he doesn't have much time to waste on recalling the past.
Every other day or two, Rand's room becomes an emotionally unstable "monster", and sorting out their emotions and calming their spirits has gradually become some kind of Rand's job... At least he is thought so.
He still suffers mentally from those poor creatures, but his body doesn't continue to deteriorate due to this constant "treatment". The researchers' report to the upper echelons was that Rand Sievers had become accustomed to empathizing with other creatures—when, in fact, Rand had just found a window into his stress.
In the time when no monsters came, he began to "walk around".
From the senior researcher who was injected with the original merman, to the derivative of the A-class siren weapon, to the unsuccessful, weak experimental animals.
Rand began to let his soul wander among the different beings.
It was also at this time that he saw that… creature.
Subject 7371.
Others call it that.
It was unlike any Siren experiment Rand had ever seen.
It's very handsome, you have to admit it, it's like the kind of real mermaid that would appear in a fairy tale, with a slender fish tail, a toned body and a face that is so beautiful that you can't blink .
Against it, any other Siren experimentation looks like trash in the prop room of a third-rate horror sci-fi movie...
At the same time, its IQ is also very high.
Rand didn't know why he was so sure of this, but he just had this gut feeling.
In fact, Rand has been in contact with enough siren subjects during this time - they are essentially the best siren subjects, otherwise no one would bother Send them to Rand to stabilize the mood.
If there is no certain use, the weak or not powerful Siren experimental body will be directly disposed of as garbage after the collapse.
And the Siren experimental subjects that Rand came into contact with generally have IQs and abilities beyond their original individuals. Take Mary as an example, it can easily do three-digit multiplication and division, under the guidance of someone It can also deftly navigate man-made mazes full of traps.
But, that's about it.
They still bear the imprint of an indelible animal.
But the experimental subject 7371 is different. The first time Rand saw it, Rand knew that it had the ability of self-thinking that other experimental subjects did not have, even if it did not even pass any routine tests due to serious emotional problems Same thing.
Compared to other subjects, it gave Rand a... human-like feeling.
But the strange place is also here, Rand is full of love and sympathy for other Siren subjects, but has a more complex emotional response to this subject 7371.
He will be terrified and disgusted by it.
Rand still remembers the first time he met Subject 7371 through mind intrusion.
"He" is a senior laboratory leader, standing inside the huge glass curtain wall and looking down.
It was a huge space the size of a football field, with high ceilings, walls and floors covered with silver anti-shock molecular foils, and at the edge of the ceiling, a group of ring-shaped pulse guns were all ready to attack—and The muzzle of the gun was aimed at the subject in the center of the room.
It was lying on the ground with scars and scars, and its blood-red pupils were full of anger and disgust.
In front of him, an electronic curtain was erected.
A staff member with cold eyes is looking at it through the video.
"I will cover up the disassembly process of the AE-KI deep-sea submarine's power template again from you... I know you can understand everything I have demonstrated, and I hope you can cooperate with me to complete this task, or you will continue to be punished."
The staff member is talking.
At the same time, in the observation room where the person in charge that Rand invaded was also discussing the unique experimental body.
"… I heard that you took an IQ test on it before?"
"Yeah, the results were startling. It's higher than the IQ of most humans, especially in terms of spatial and graphic thinking...but that's not surprising given that most sirens have conceptual thinking."
"Yeah, but it doesn't look like the docile type," one speaker said, frowning at a close-up of Subject 7371 on the display, "how did you guys get it to test before? Right? We can't do anything about it right now, it's full of hatred for human beings... "
"Well, it must be funny to say it..."
"God, tell me now! I'm tired of this test—god knows I'm starting to worry that it'll be cooked by the pulse gun one day."
"We told it that if it was good enough to complete the test, we would have it contact Rand Sivers..."
…
Rand's emotions fluctuated uncontrollably after hearing his name.
The fluctuation caused him to feel a twist in his vision—he would soon be ejected from the senior manager's mind.
But at this time, under the observation room, the experimental subject 7371, who was a few dozen meters away from "him", seemed to feel something, and raised his head for a moment to stare at the man Manager…
No, Rand always felt that what it was really looking at was himself.
After meeting those bright red eyes, Rand felt a strong disgust and anger, and the next second, he saw the Siren experimental body rushing towards the observation room... At that moment in the room There was chaos, but Rand couldn't feel it at all.
He was ejected from the manager's mind.
When he regained his senses in his body, he found himself shrunk to a corner unconsciously, with his hands folded over his shoulders, and tears on his face.
He didn't know what happened, but at the first glance after seeing the experimental body, the clear fear burned in his body like a flame...
But the weird thing is that even though he was tortured by this kind of fear and anger, later when Rand "wandered" again, he found that he would come to the experimental body 7371 again unknowingly.
As if there is some kind of invisible magnetism in Subject 7371, Rand will always unconsciously invade the minds of researchers or creatures around it, and then observe it through the eyes of other creatures.
Rand could feel some part of his soul being drawn to Subject 7371...
He watched it learn to disassemble the submarine's power panel bit by bit, learned to operate the high-tech metal exoskeleton, learned to cut and blow up the submarine cable... Just as Rand thought, the experimental subject 7371 was incredibly smart .
But at the same time, it's childlike in some ways—those people keep telling it they'll take it to see Rand once it does those things.
They never fulfilled their promises, but Subject 7371 always listened to them obediently.
Rand didn't know why he became a bargaining chip with those deep white people, which made him feel very uncomfortable and angry, but the reality made him know that he couldn't resist.
And to be honest, when Shenbai's staff first said to let experimental subject 7371 meet him, he even believed it, and because of this, he lost a whole night of insomnia. He still feared and hated that amazingly beautiful creature, but he couldn't deny that there was a part of his soul that was happy about it.
Even Rand felt an uncontrollable tinge of disappointment when he realized that the Deep White was just deceiving the experimental subject.
Sometimes Rand is about to go crazy because of these two diametrically opposite emotions in his body... Even he himself is very puzzled, why does he care so much about that experimental subject
Just like now, he has unknowingly "wandered" to the side of experimental subject 7371 again.
It was still the huge silver laboratory, and the air was filled with the smell of dampness (this smell, I don't know why Rand felt nostalgic), he glanced sideways at the top, the observation room seemed extraordinarily far away. He couldn't see the shadows of the people inside, but he could feel the condescending and arrogant gazes of those people.
It doesn't feel good at all.
Subject 7371 was placed in front of him.
In Rand's hand, there is a huge cage, where two pigs are struggling with humming, feeling the breath of the experimental body 7371, they burst out excrement and urine out of fear.
This is an experiment - Subject 7371 had a laser cutting gun mounted on its finger not long ago, and if it is successfully put into use, the Siren subject can use this tool to easily cut through the hull of the submarine, and also on the surface of the ship. attack the enemy. However, at present, this cutting gun is still an experimental weapon, and now the experiment done by Shenbai is to let the experimental subject 7371 try it on pigs (like all other experiments, pig hair, skin and visceral distribution are strikingly similar to humans) to gather information.
