Shen Ti stared at the screen, suddenly said two words, "Dead?"
"Who?" Wu You asked.
"People in the first few floors." Seeing the last log being automatically destroyed, Shen Ti shrugged, "Or I can only explain it as a power outage."
After the log disappeared, the screen returned to its original appearance, but another email popped up, but it was unfinished in the draft box.
The title is Research Development of Psychological Experiments with Children.
He kept an eye on it, but the email soon disappeared too.
So fast.
He felt someone next to him, with his head on one side, the tip of his nose almost touched An Wujiu's cheek.
"You're so close." Shen Ti said softly.
An Wujiu also replied in a low voice, "Is it very close? You are usually this close to me."
When he said this, Shen Ti was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed.
Seeing his smile, An Wujiu felt a little uncomfortable again.
If what's in your mind now is that Shen Ti looks good when he smiles, isn't it very inappropriate.
Josh was still immersed in the last question, and suddenly thought of something, "By the way, the security system mentioned at the beginning was broken, right, when we first came in."
"Is it related to this that the log is not finished? If there is a problem with the system of the entire building, it should have an impact. And it seems that the first log also said that there was a bug in the management authority of the E floor."
"The collapse of the system should be an important clue." After Yang Erci finished speaking, he felt that his neck was also uncomfortable, so he stretched out his hand to touch it, and the touch was not quite right.
An Wujiu looked at her and said without any surprise, "It also appeared on you."
There was a terrible scar on her neck, the open wound was filled with coagulated blood scabs, and the flesh was turned out.
This is after cutting the throat.
He paid attention to the countdown on the right side of his vision, and after a rough calculation, they had less than four hours left.
The end time of the game is the same as the initial time, when it is close to zero.
"I have a question." Wu You said, "If they are really dead, who killed them?"
Josh said tentatively: "A02?"
"But on the fourth floor, a lot of evidence showed that A02 was the one who had died, the square 2 was replaced by a ghost card, the ghost we waited in the dark corridor, and the sentence displayed on the gate of heaven words, A02 said 'they're going to kill me'."
Nanshan also agrees: "There is also that nursery rhyme. I remember that the original version should be that the big rabbit dies, but what is played on the fourth floor is just replaced by the second rabbit's death."
The fatal injuries that emerged from everyone were contradictory to the corresponding evidence.
"Let's go out first." Zhong Yirou also gradually recovered his senses, "We have reached the fifth floor, first look for other traps and side games, isn't the final result to see if we can escape from the building?"
The other six people also thought it made sense, so everyone planned to leave the room. Before leaving, An Wujiu glanced at the screen and found a line of words appeared on it.
[All for humanity. ]
This sentence again.
He left anyway. While looking for the next door in the corridor, An Wujiu also told everyone all the information he saw about the relationship between A02 and A01.
"A02 has a genetic defect..." Wu You frowned, "Congenital heart disease?"
An Wujiu nodded, and found that Wu Changlong couldn't get out of A02's story for a long time, and there was a cloud of cloud between his brows.
When they walked to the next corner, they suddenly heard the sound of the door opening, turned around and saw a door appeared out of thin air on the wall inside the corridor.
This door leads to the center circled by the corridor.
This floor is relatively easier than other floors, and there are not so many side games as obstacles, so An Wujiu feels strange.
"Wait first, be careful there is a problem inside." He said to the few people walking in front.
So the other people also waited, and didn't go in immediately, but there was nothing but the walls in the dim light, and it was even more empty than the central space on the fourth floor.
After waiting for a while, nothing appeared.
"Why don't you go in and have a look first?"
Standing in front of Wu You glanced at An Wujiu, time was tight, so An Wujiu had no choice but to nod, and followed everyone in.
Shen Ti stood by his side, and the two walked last. The door closed with a bang, and as expected, Shen Ti swished up again like a frightened cat.
"Are you really timid or just pretending?" An Wujiu turned to look at him.
"Of course it's true. I cried in fright when I was locked in the room alone, and you couldn't hear me."
When Shen Ti was talking, the earrings were dangling, which easily distracted An Wujiu.
He came as soon as he opened his mouth, and he found out that there was a problem with the agency early in the morning.
"But even if you hear it, you definitely won't care about my life."
Seeing his serious expression, An Wujiu turned his head and looked forward.
Who said that.
He wanted to take care of it.
The ground here is sunken, and the seven people walked down the steps to the open space in the middle.
"Why is there nothing here?" Josh turned around, "In such a large venue, it's possible that zombies will appear to bite us all of a sudden."
Nan Shan smiled, "I'm not surprised by anything here."
An Wujiu looked at Wu You, even though he had never been a talkative person, An Wujiu was keenly aware of the change in Wu You's expression.
It seems that there is something on my mind, since I said A02's life experience.
Could it be that Wu You's life experience is also somehow related to the story of A02
Suddenly An Wujiu felt something was wrong, the floor he stepped on seemed to be sinking.
He heard Wu You's voice, "Run up the steps!"
But it was still too late, the floor didn't just sag, but changed from solid to some kind of flowing liquid, trapping each of their legs like a swamp, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get out of it. break free.
"No." Yang Erci reminded everyone, "This is a non-Newtonian fluid. The more you struggle, the deeper you sink. Don't move."
Seeing, everyone continued to sink, and the fluid turned from the floor had already reached their thighs.
An Wujiu frowned, a certain ominous premonition lingered in his heart.
A moment later, a huge screen was holographically projected directly above the hall, and text appeared on it. At the same time, according to the text, the corresponding synthesized voice will follow.
[Everyone is still one step away from success. ]
[Now, your task is to deduce what happened in this detention center by asking questions, about each of you, and about the entire detention center, including its ending. ]
Sure enough, in addition to the side game of deciphering each layer, they still have to find out the hidden plot line after all.
[There is no limit to the number of questions and no time limit, and you will get yes or no feedback every time you ask. When you think you can deduce the real result, stop asking questions and describe it completely, if there is 80% similarity with the truth. The screen will display a celebratory animation, and you will be freed from the current swamp of fluid. ]
"no limit?"
An Wujiu's gaze was sombre, it is impossible that there is no restriction and punishment mechanism.
The so-called unlimited time is actually trying to consume the little time left by the player.
[Only one thing. ]
New text appears on the screen.
[If the feedback from everyone's questions is "no", everyone present will be sunken by ten centimeters. Once completely submerged in fluid, it is considered eliminated. ]
Changing the limit from time to danger not only kills the player's time, but also increases the elimination rate.
[The player closest to the truth will be granted pardon, leave the fluid, and open the ultimate gate of heaven. The fate of the remaining players who have not been eliminated will be decided by the pardoned players. ]
It really is a personal battle.
If a group of people with their own ghosts are here, the final result may be very dramatic.
[The game starts, players are welcome to ask questions. ]
Just like that, the game started silently, and the text on the screen disappeared, turning into a symbol, a strangely drawn sun.
This symbol made An Wujiu feel familiar.
"Who will ask first?" Josh looked at the others.
Yang Erci said, "I'll come first."
She thought for a while and asked a question: "A02 is dead, right?"
A white circle appears on the screen.
"Yes." The synthetic voice replied.
Everyone had such expressions on their faces.
Nanshan asked: "Did he die in this detention center, and the cause of death was a heart attack?"
The circle appeared on the screen again, "Yes."
The two correct answers encouraged everyone, and in the next second, Wu You asked: "Is one of the reasons why A02 was cloned because of his congenital heart deformity, so many of him were cloned as substitutes and organ suppliers? "
This time, a different icon suddenly appeared on the screen, and a red cross appeared in the middle of the white circle.
Synthetic voice replies: "Yes and no."
Some guessed right, some didn't.
Everyone didn't know how to calculate this result. When they were struggling, they felt that their legs sank, but it wasn't ten centimeters, only about half of it.
"I'm sorry." Wu You felt sorry for the punishment he caused, and he didn't want to hurt everyone.
"It's okay." An Wujiu reassured him, "At least we know, if it's not completely right, it will sink by 5 centimeters."
"So is the first half of the sentence wrong or the second half?" Josh thought for a while, and felt that there should be no problem with the first half of the sentence, and the second half seemed to make sense.
"It shouldn't be as simple as supplying organs." An Wujiu explained, "A02's heart problem is caused by genetic inheritance. Even if it is cloned, the cloned person will have exactly the same DNA as him, and it will still have a deformed heart."
Shen Ti on the side was in a state of passive strike, yawning and stretching. Hearing this, he raised his hand and asked a question: "Is it the father of A01 who wants to clone A02?"
"yes."
"A01 and A02 are lovers?" Shen Ti asked a very jumping question.
The circle cross before the screen reappeared, "Yes, not quite."
Following this feedback, everyone sank another five centimeters, and the fluid was tightly attached to their legs, unable to move at all.
"Certainly not entirely. In name, they should still be brothers." Josh said.
Zhong Yirou thought of something, and said weakly: "I want to ask... Did the ghost of A02 appear in the building?"
"Yes, not exactly." The symbol of a circle and a cross appeared on the big screen again.
They sank another five centimeters.
"Not exactly..." An Wujiu thought for a while.
"The ghost that appeared was not A02's, but his clone, right?"
"Yes." The screen gave an affirmative circle symbol.
Nanshan sorted out the clues, "So before A02 died, many clones were cloned and stored in the cryogenic compartment, but not only A02 died, but also his clones."
Yang Erci thought of the previous diary, "It was written in the diary that the lifespan of the clone is very short." Thinking of this, she asked a question, "The clone of A02 died naturally, not murder, right?"
"Yes, but not quite."
Another incomplete answer.
"It's a natural death, but it's not completely..." Wu You frowned, "You mean, some clones died naturally, and some were killed?"
"yes."
They got an affirmative answer.
Wu You asked again: "Is it because the A02 clone was killed after learning the truth?"
"yes."
Josh asked again: "Is the clone of A02 planning to take revenge on everyone else?"
"yes."
Adopted, cloned, and died of a congenital disease, this is the fate of A02. A02's clones continued his life, some died naturally, some disappeared artificially, and the result seemed to be an utter tragedy.
Listening to everyone's questions, An Wujiu felt that something was not quite right.
Wu You looked at the others and thought of something: "Are these injuries from the revenge of the A02 clone?"
"yes."
"The log of the staff at the BCDE layer has not been written, is it because the person who wrote the log was in danger or killed at the moment?"
"yes."
"Is it the ghost of the A02 clone who came for revenge?"
"no."
Everyone sank ten centimeters at once.
This time, everyone has sunk a total of 30 centimeters, and the fluid that did not reach the thighs is now almost reaching the hip bones.
If it wasn't the ghost of the A02 clone, who else would it be
Zhong Yirou asked again, "It was the A02 clone who found out that he was just a clone, and the memory he got was also implanted, so he was very angry and wanted revenge, right?"
The result deviated from their imagination again.
"Yes, but not quite."
I thought it was the clone who found out the truth about cloning that would be so angry, but the truth seems to be not that simple.
While everyone was silent, Shen Ti thoughtfully asked another question: "A02 has no permission to enter other floors of the containment center, unless the people on that floor give him permission to the corresponding location, such as a circus, right?"
"Yes." He got an affirmative answer.
Shen Ti asked again: "So, A02 and the clones of A02 don't know about the black surrogacy factory and various human experiments behind the containment center from beginning to end, right?"
A circle lights up on the screen, "Yes."
With this supplement, Josh immediately asked: "That's when the clones of A02 accidentally learned about these bad things they did, and found out that they were actually just clones. They were killed when they resisted, so the ghosts came to them for revenge. ?"
"Yes, but not quite."
Still missing something.
The face of the matter has been pieced together bit by bit in their questions and the other party's answers, but it seems that there are some contradictions and gaps that are difficult to fill.
Nanshan thought for a while and asked, "It was said that the clone of A02 died abnormally. Did someone other than A01 kill the clone of A02?"
"Yes and no."
The crowd continued to sink, getting deeper and deeper.
"Yes and no." Yang Erci frowned, and made an unreliable conjecture, "Could it be that...A01 was also involved?"
A white circle suddenly appeared on the screen.
"yes."
Everyone froze in place for a moment, and their backs felt a little cold.
Josh looked stunned, "I thought... A01 cloned him because he loved A02 so much and couldn't accept A02's illness and death, as if he was still alive. If A01 really loved him, he wouldn't kill A02's clone Bar."
The truth is starting to get weirder.
Shen Ti pouted, "Maybe this A01 is also a lunatic."
An Wujiu said softly, "Don't you think that the reason for adopting A02 is very strange from the beginning? A01's father is not someone else, he is the director of an abandoned baby shelter, and he has the resources and reasons to adopt healthier children , but he adopted a child with a congenital disease."
"Maybe it's a combination of eyesight?" After Josh finished speaking, he denied his own statement, "Indeed, in this kind of game copy, there is usually an antecedent."
An Wujiu closed his eyes and went through everything that happened in this detention center.
A lot of pictures appeared in my mind, like watching flowers on horseback, and finally stayed in the laboratory on the fourth floor.
An Wujiu raised his head and asked a new question: "A02 is taken in because of his congenital disease. A01's father wants to use his genetic defect to conduct experimental research, right?"
"Yes, but not quite."
This result caused the seven people present to sink again, but it also opened up a new way of thinking for them—there is a hidden secret behind the adoption of A02.
Not exactly... An Wujiu frowned and thought carefully. Indeed, there should be many children in the abandoned baby center with birth defects. If you really just want to choose one such child, you don't have to choose A02.
He carefully recalled the image of A02, and found that Josh in the video on the second floor should be the closest to the real A02. At that time, he was kind and just, running for those intersex babies and finding out the truth.
Goodness... Is this also one of the criteria they choose A02
Or, do they want A02 to be such a person
Everyone's thinking began to diverge, "Could it be that A02 is the illegitimate son of A01's father? Are they related by blood?"
"no."
"Is it because A02 actually has a special constitution, such as a higher success rate of cloning, or a higher success rate of gene editing?"
"no."
The feedback received from several questions in a row is red cross, and the situation is not optimistic. The fluid gradually devoured their bodies from bottom to top, and the slightly shorter ones were almost reaching their chests.
"In short, they used A02 as a test subject, right, and they chose him from the very beginning, treated him well, and actually wanted to use him to verify the experimental results." I don't know if it's because the fluid is about to bury themselves, or because of these Gradually approaching the truth, Josh felt very suffocated. If a person adopts himself, it is just like adopting a mouse, how terrible it would be.
"They are still talking about human beings for human beings, which is crazy and hypocritical."
For humanity
An Wujiu narrowed his eyes slightly.
Suddenly I heard Shen Ti on the side muttering to himself, "Everything is for human beings."
An Wujiu turned his face to look at him, Shen Ti also turned around, his eyes met.
Their brain waves seem to match the same signal at a certain moment.
An Wujiu said, "I've always thought that the phrase 'everything for mankind' sounds strange. This kind of words has a very typical slogan quality, and it can instill a strong sense of faith in people."
"It's like a cult organization that uses such bright and righteous slogans to control believers. The purpose is actually quite different from the slogan."
He thought of the unsent emails he had just seen on the host under Shen Ti's authority.
Maybe it was what he thought, even though it was very absurd.
An Wujiu raised his head, "I would like to ask, besides being selected as the subject of gene editing and cloning, is A02 also the subject of another psychological experiment?"
His conjecture was verified.
"Yes."
"Another kind?" Josh looked at An Wujiu, "What is it?"
Shen Ti thought of the content in the work log. No matter whose log it is, it basically states some experiments about A02, but there is one that is very unclear. It is referred to by a noun, which appears in the work of the character Josh. in the log.
Shen Ti raised his eyes and asked the system: "Is this experiment called a growth show?"
After a while, the conjecture was verified.
"Yes."
