He breathed a sigh of relief, looked at his watch, there were still a few minutes before midnight, and Ke Xun walked to Mu Yiran's side and sat down against his shoulder.

"Boss," Ke Xun said, "you are so arrogant. If you have a chance, you won't say what's in your heart... Don't be like me, if you miss it, you won't have the opportunity again, go and tell them what you want to say the most. If so... Forget it, I'll leave you with a smile, you can experience it yourself."

As he said, he swiped Mu Yiran's phone to the selfie function, tilted his head to touch his head, Ke Xun raised a big smile at the camera, and pinched a heart between their cheeks with two fingers.

The time on the phone jumped to 24:00.

There were footsteps in the corridor outside the house.

Ke Xun quickly set Zhu Haowen's mobile phone to the camera function and turned on the lighting. Then he walked to the mobile phone stand a few steps, put his mobile phone on it, adjusted the angle, and then walked back to his position, touching his neck to the side. At the mop handle, Mu Yiran's mobile phone was in his hand, and the camera was called up.

He was not in a hurry to dizzy himself, he wanted to take a look at the camera lens first, what kind of "people" were those who came in from the door, and maybe he could find important clues about the signature.

The sound of footsteps came to the door, the click sounded, and the door of the laboratory was pushed open.

In the camera lens of the mobile phone, several gray figures walked in and made sounds that seemed a little surprised. Then, two figures walked to the flashlight and turned off the switch.

The flashlight is something in the research institute, so it can be recognized by these figures, and the mobile phone confirms the guess of Ke Xun and Mu Yiran - it is a modern technological product and cannot be recognized by the "people" here, so it is still on , was left alone.

The room without the flashlight was almost pitch black, and Ke Xun could no longer see anything from the camera lens of his mobile phone.

The light from the phone is too weak, it can only shine in front of you.

Fortunately, Zhu Haowen's mobile phone, which was fixed near the desk, should be able to record something.

Ke Xun turned off Mu Yiran's phone and used the mop handle to pinpoint the acupuncture points on his neck.

Perhaps as Qin Ci said, he was born with sensitivity to strength and precise control. The pressure on his neck was just right. It didn't take long for him to feel dizzy. The ground collapsed.

In the days since he started painting, Ke Xun has never "slept" so full of sleep.

It wasn't until I felt someone calling me that I opened my eyes in a daze.

"You succeeded." Zhu Haowen stood beside him and looked at him condescendingly, "However, my phone's battery has run out, so I can't recall the video you took last night."

Ke Xun lay on the ground and stretched before sitting up. He raised his face and smiled and winked at him: "Brother Ye, I'll tell you the solution."

Zhu Haowen felt that this man was like a hustle and bustle squatting in front of him, and suddenly he had the urge to lick his dog's head.

"You'd better solve it immediately." Mu Yiran's voice suddenly came coldly from the side, "Otherwise, it may be you who will be dealt with."

Ke Xun felt that the boss might want to take revenge for being stunned by him last night, so he got up and took the phone that had been powered off and shut down in Zhu Haowen's hand, and took out the SD card: "I changed the storage path."

Zhu Haowen: "..." Why does this person always have a lot of... It's actually quite normal, but others often don't think of ideas.

Handing the SD card to Mu Yiran, Mu Yiran switched it to his mobile phone, and called up the mobile phone album. The first thing that caught his eye was the photos in his mobile phone. The two big faces of Ke Xun and himself took up the entire cover of the folder. .

Mu Yiran: "..."

Zhu Haowen, who was watching next to him: "..."

Ke Xun: "...don't pay attention to those details, just click on last night's video and watch it."

When I clicked on the video, the camera shook for a while. That was the process of Ke Xun running to the desk with the phone in his hand. Then the picture stabilized. After a few seconds, a muffled "Tom" was heard not far away.

"I fainted on the ground." Ke Xun explained.

Then, the picture is always fixed in front of a dark background, on the desk and experimental equipment under the weak light, the close-up of the lens is the tiny dust flying in chaos, and in the speaker, there are footsteps walking back and forth unhurriedly, accompanied by The chaotic voices, the slight noise of the cloth rubbing, and the occasional sound of flipping paper documents, are like the process of entering the working state when they have just started to work.

Suddenly, a gray face appeared on the screen. The eyes were too close to the light of the mobile phone, and the fluorescent light was reflected.

Ke Xun and Zhu Haowen were caught off guard, and subconsciously leaned back suddenly. Mu Yiran, who had been holding the phone, was calm as usual, and pointed to pause.

After looking at this face carefully, I called up the photocopy of the half of the face that Ke Xun took yesterday and compared it. I found that there was no similarity, so I continued to play the video.

This face only swayed in front of the camera for a few seconds before flickering to one side, and the picture returned to the original static scene. After a few minutes, six or seven gray-white figures appeared one after another in the field of fluttering dust.

They kept wandering around the desk and the experimental equipment, but they never took any substantial action. It seemed that the lack of test items made them idle, and they could only wander back and forth in the laboratory without a purpose.

Mu Yiran kept clicking on the screen to pause the screen, carefully observed the faces of these ghostly figures, and compared the photocopied photo, but the effect was not ideal, because the light was too dark, unless you were close to the camera, it would be hard to see clear.

He was playing the important clip over and over again when he heard Wei Dong call the door outside the laboratory: "Ke'er! Ke'er! How are you? Open the door! Open the door!"

Ke Xun went to open the door, Wei Dong couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief when he saw that he was still "alive", and then sighed again: "Even if you are lucky enough to not die, you will lose a lot of life if you are so scared every day—hey, what are you doing?"

Ke Xun grabbed Wei Dong by the back of the neck, carried him through the door, and threw him to Mu Yiran's side: "Yiran, let Dongzi see, their artists are poisonous."

Wei Dongzheng didn't know why, when he saw Mu Yiran stretched out the screen of his mobile phone in front of his eyes, there was a big gray face on the screen, a pair of black eyes almost occupying the whole of his eyes, staring at the camera deadly and coldly.

"—Fuck!" Wei Dong jumped back in surprise, covering his heart and looking at Mu Yiran, who was expressionless, "... Boss, you should tell me in advance, don't be so naughty... "

"Look to see if there is a face similar to the one in the photo." Big Brother Mu said lightly, not wanting to be naughty with him.

Wei Dong took the phone tremblingly, and after a long time of psychological construction, he dared to look at it.

The other three people in the room didn't make a sound to disturb him, just stood beside him and waited.

Wei Dong looked very carefully. Although he was still terrified at first, he became immune after watching it for a long time. The professional habit of being an artist slowly emerged, and his expression became more focused.

After pausing the screen for a long time and observing for a long time, Wei Dong suddenly raised his head: "It's this person! The photo of the half of the face in the pit belongs to him!"

Ke Xunmu and Zhu Haowen gathered around and looked at the phone. Seeing that the face on the screen was still blurred, it was difficult to tell whether it was really the same person as the half of the photo.

Zhu Haowen looked at Wei Dong cautiously: "Are you sure it's this person?"

"Sure, that's right, trust me!" Wei Dong gestured with his hand on the face on the screen with great certainty, "This person's face line and ear temples are at least 95% of the people in the photo. similarities above.”

Ke Xun took the phone, clicked the play button, and the video continued. The face on the screen slowly slid past the camera, and after a while, it appeared a little further away, dangling aimlessly, from here. The desk at one end slowly swayed to the experimental apparatus at the other end, and then stopped there.

"He is Test 282." Ke Xun said suddenly.

Mu Yiran's eyes narrowed when he heard the words, and he looked at the place where Ke Xun's finger pointed. That was the position of the man's chest. There were vaguely three numbers on the gray-white clothes, but the numbers were too small and vague, like three tiny Mosaic, it is difficult to identify which three numbers are.

"How are you sure?" Zhu Haowen's voice sounded beside him.

"First," Ke Xun pointed to the three numbers that were as small as a few pixels, "the shapes of the numbers at both ends are similar, and second, the shape of the 8 in the middle is very familiar to me. I have a photo of the competition. The number is 384. It is a long-range photo. The team took it for me. It is very blurry. The shape of the 8 above is similar to this. However, the above is my subjective judgment. The most important point is, My gut tells me he's number 282."

Zhu Haowen: "..."

Wei Dong: "...Your intuition is the most subjective, okay?"

Ke Xun's finger lightly wiped the face on the screen that was presumed to be Test Subject No. 282: "I think the look in his eyes while standing beside these instruments is different from other 'people'."

Wei Dong stared hard at the screen: "... how dare you see that he has eyes?"

"Whether you believe it or not," Ke Xun raised his eyes, but looked at Mu Yiran, "I think so anyway."

Mu Yiran looked at him and nodded slightly.

"This No. 282 seems to be the only person in the experimental log record who successfully underwent prefrontal lobectomy and survived normally," Zhu Haowen said, "He also underwent the ET experiment with unknown contents, but he didn't know the results. ."

"The key to finding the signature may be on him." Mu Yiran's voice was a little dull, "I will stay in the D laboratory tonight and stay awake."

When he said the last four words, he stared at Ke Xun coldly.

Ke Xun hugged his two front paws together to make a New Year's greeting, and fired puppy eyes at Mu Yiran: "Boss, I was wrong, please take me tonight."

"We'd better count the number of people who survived today," Zhu Haowen said quietly beside him, "If only six people survive, maybe the D laboratory will be closed, and there will be no way for us to find the signature. ."

Wei Dong was startled and counted with his fingers: "Lab C needs at least four people, then one for each of Labs AB... We won't be able to get the entrance card for Lab D! I'll go and see how Doctor Qin is doing!"

Said and ran out of the D laboratory.

Ke Xun looked at Wei Dong's back and shook his head, turned around and put his arms in his arms, and looked at Zhu Haowen: "Haowen'er, did I accidentally pinch you out of any sequelae last night? If you want to do so, continue to enter tonight. Laboratory D, there is a fairly simple method."

Zhu Haowen: "... what way?"

Ke Xun raised his eyebrows: "Let's not leave the underground experimental area for the whole day today, won't we?"
