An Wujiu's heart seemed to be gripped by something.
But soon, this feeling disappeared, because Shen Ti's hand suddenly rested on his shoulder carelessly, and he tapped his fingertips lightly. An Wujiu stared sideways at the hand covered by the leather glove, then turned to look at Shen Ti's face.
Shen Ti didn't look at him, but looked up at the two signboards, "Why do I think that the better the name is, the more likely it is something shady."
An Wujiu gave up and took his hand away, because with Shen Ti's temper, he would only put it back.
"Maybe it's true." Zhong Yirou said.
When they were discussing the song, An Wujiu looked around, and finally landed on the green wall diagonally opposite him, which belonged to [Rainbow Baby].
There is a cartoon mural carefully drawn on it, an adult wearing a farmer's costume is followed by a group of children in the same costume, all of them are holding devices for spraying herbicides in their hands, everyone is working hard, and there is a cloud in the sky, There is also a line of words written on the clouds.
[Operation Rancher]
The nursery rhyme is still being sung, as if there is no end. The jubilant singing makes this floor look like a miniature playground, at least much more cheerful than the first floor.
The hopping brown bear passed them again, only this time, he opened his mouth.
"Welcome! Welcome!" The little bear hopped and turned around to face them, but still hopped at the same frequency as before, and the sound he made was a synthetic electronic sound, full of cartooniness.
"We welcome strange children, different children, all kinds of children here!"
This kind of childlike stuff can no longer arouse the interest of adults, so no one cares.
Only An Wujiu frowned, feeling weird about his statement.
Weird kid...
The little bear seemed to be planning to leave, but just before jumping away, he paused again, "Oh yes, there is a circus performance tonight! Mr. Clown, please open the gate of the circus on time!"
After speaking, the little bear jumped up and down and continued to complete its mission of circling the corridor. But Josh was stunned.
"Mr. Clown... Are you talking about me?"
Shen Ti got a lollipop out of nowhere and put it in his mouth, he said vaguely, "It seems to be."
"You are the staff on this floor, right?" Zhong Yirou pointed to his badge.
Nanshan smiled and said: "According to the rules of the game on the previous level, as long as we can find the work log of this level, which is the specific work of Mr. Josh, and crack the gate, we may be able to find the fragments of the key."
Josh nodded, and felt the pressure instantly. This floor is different from the previous floor, and there is only him as a staff member.
"This song makes people panic." Zhong Yirou couldn't help complaining, "Is there a system interacting just now? Can you turn it off."
"This song should also have meaning." Wu You said in a low voice.
Yang Erci, who was silent, said at this time, "There is a legend that Britain in the old earth era was at war with another country. In order to prevent the invasion of enemy soldiers, the king ordered London Bridge to be burned down. After the war was over, he wanted to rebuild it again. This bridge collapsed many times during the construction process, and it was very difficult, so someone thought of a way to let the gods protect them and successfully build the bridge."
"What way?" Josh asked.
"Tie the children to the bridge pillars, and use cement and other materials to fill the adult pillars as the foundation of the bridge. Use this method of human sacrifice to pray for the smooth progress of the project."
"How is this possible?" Josh shook his head, "This legend is too terrifying."
Talking about folklore, Nanshan seems to have the confidence of a professional counterpart, "It's hard to say whether this matter is true, it is estimated that two parts are true and eight parts are false. But the matter of living people as sacrifices, from ancient times to the present ,Too much."
"This is due to the weakness and evasion in the primitive nature of human beings. They can't solve the problem, so they rely on the so-called gods." An Wujiu came to a rather cold conclusion, and then changed the subject.
"We won't be in groups this time, let's go to the corridor on the left first." After finishing speaking, he turned around first and went to the corridor pointing to [Rainbow Baby].
It's hard to tell what kind of mentality it is, An Wujiu finds it hard to accept that someone will treat other people's lives like nothing just because they believe in a certain god.
No one knows whether the innocent blood was dedicated to God or whether it was the desire in their hearts.
"This room can't be opened." Zhong Yirou let go, and called Josh to try, "You are a staff member, let's see if it works."
However, when Josh tried to open the door, a line of rainbow-like words appeared on the pink door.
[D03, today is a play day, and the children are not at home. ]
"Strange, you can't open it either."
They went a few steps further and tried others. To be on the safe side, An Wujiu and Shen Ti walked at the back, while Nan Shan and Wu You were in the middle. An Wujiu noticed that Nan Shan had been staring at the painted murals on the wall, so he asked, "What are you looking at?"
Nan Shan knew he was talking to herself, but he didn't look back, just staring at the painting on the wall. The painting is actually very simple: the weather on the sea is sunny and sunny, and many children are sitting on the boat, playing and laughing. But below the surface of the sea is another scene. The seabed is gloomy, and there are many calm children. Almost all of them close their eyes and smile, with peaceful faces.
"I'm watching living people sacrifice." Nanshan finally opened his mouth, pointing his finger at the wall, "Sacrifices especially like boys and girls, because they symbolize the highest purity and beauty of human beings."
An Wujiu also saw it, "Would a detention center really put such a horrible mural?"
"Adults always have reasons." Wu You gave an example, "For example, to tell you that only disobedient children will fall into the bottom of the sea."
Shen Ti couldn't feel grief or regret, he just felt that these ways of offering sacrifices were not to his liking. If he was a god, he must choose the most sinful guy in the world. This kind of living person was used as a sacrifice to let them experience the unknown. In the last minute of his life, he frantically confessed his evil deeds, but it didn't help.
That's what makes it interesting.
What is bullying a child.
"These few can't be opened either!" Zhong Yirou shouted from the front.
"Don't turn the corner."
The four people in the back also planned to follow, and when they were about to raise their feet, Shen Ti suddenly felt something touch him, and when he lowered his head, it was a small tin jar painted with orange stripes.
He was going to bend down to pick it up, but before doing this, he reached out and grabbed An Wujiu's sleeve, and then picked up the strange jar.
"Why are you holding me back?"
"Of course I was afraid that you would run away." Shen Ti straightened up, tossed the small jar in his hand, found that it contained liquid, and then threw it into An Wujiu's arms, "What if I place an order? You don't worry about me at all."
There is nothing to worry about. An Wujiu caught the little jar.
He has to worry about whether ghosts and monsters will be played by Shen Ti.
Going forward, An Wujiu simply lowered his head to look at the small jar because of a body pulling his sleeves. There was only one word written on it—orange.
But soon, his toes were blocked by something. At first glance, it was a tin jar again, but this one was decorated with purple stripes, with —purple written on it.
"What's in it?"
An Wujiu looked up when he heard the sound, and found that Zhong Yirou and the others were also holding different small jars, even blue and red ones.
"There are so many colors." Josh looked at the jar in his hand and wanted to open it, but An Wujiu stopped him.
"Don't open it, there might be something bad in it."
As soon as the words were finished, they suddenly heard a rumbling sound, An Wujiu felt uneasy, and when he turned around, he saw countless small pots appearing at the other end of the corridor behind him, but these pots all flew up, close to the ceiling, like A tiny helicopter.
At the same time, the jars in their hands seemed to have life, they broke free and flew up, An Wujiu squinted his eyes, and had a premonition that reminded him of something, so he shouted: "Cover your mouths and noses!"
Sure enough, in the next second, those rainbow-colored cans sprayed out a uniform and fine liquid mist. These liquids exude the pungent smell of disinfectant, which is obviously a chemical product.
Everyone covered their mouths and noses and ran forward. Nan Shan took off the gas mask around his neck and stuffed it into Wu You's hand. Wu You froze for a moment, and he put the mask on forcibly.
"You are a child, you use it."
They have reacted quickly, but these tank planes are densely packed, like locusts crossing the border, and they cannot escape at all.
Running around the corner, An Wujiu saw the little boy with two heads again, he was standing in the middle of the road, his eyes were moist, as if he was about to cry.
As the beautiful jars flew over his head, he lifted both of his heads to look directly at the fine, cold rainbow potion. The crystal liquid mist is like a spring rain, moistening the earth and nourishing children like him. The soft water droplets blend into every texture of his skin.
Without even thinking about it, An Wujiu grabbed the child and ran forward with him.
It wasn't until they ran through the half-corridor of this floor and came to the domain belonging to [Double Perfect Angel] that the rainbow-colored canned planes finally stopped, hovering in place, but unable to cross the line.
Entering the temporary safe area, An Wujiu lowered his head again and found that the child had disappeared again.
"Did you see that kid?"
Shen Ti nodded, but no one else seemed to have seen his existence except him.
The smell of the medicine was strong, and Josh was still covering his mouth and nose, looking at the roaring "rainbows" on the ceiling in disbelief.
"What's in those jars?"
The others were also unknown, but soon, they had strange reactions. Zhong Yirou and Yang Erci felt terrible abdominal pain, and could only bend down to relieve it, but Josh felt that the skin on his face was about to melt, and kept touching his face. He looked at Nanshan, wanting to ask for help, but saw One of Nanshan's arms fell directly to the ground, bleeding continuously, so he screamed.
Josh's scream pierced into Wu You's heart like a sharp thorn. He was wearing a gas mask, as if he didn't feel any strange pain, but he felt a little cold in his stomach. When he looked down, the lab coat on his body seemed to be corroded by something. up.
His stomach and half of his chest were completely exposed to the air, which was shocking.
An Wujiu saw that everyone's bodies became deformed, and he also spit out a mouthful of black blood. Immediately afterwards, the seven orifices bled, and the fingers of both hands began to fall off one by one.
Zhong Yirou almost curled up to the corner of the wall, his forehead was full of sweat, "What's going on..."
An Wujiu felt the blood gushing out of his mouth, and the pain was so severe that his whole body was almost hollowed out. He subconsciously looked at Shen Ti, but found that he was intact, standing behind him with his hands behind his back, nothing happened.
But behind Shen Ti appeared many snake tail-like things, wrapped in a thin layer of slimy liquid, rubbing, wandering, and moving forward on the shiny pink floor, and finally came to An Wujiu's feet.
Those snake tails went from bottom to top, wrapping around his legs little by little.
He turned his face and saw Shen Ti put his hands behind his back to his side.
Those hands are the source of the snake's tail.
An Wujiu subconsciously wanted to back up, but because he was entangled, he almost fell backwards, but fortunately, he was caught by one hand, Shen Ti's hand.
In just a second, his hands had changed back into those hands covered with snake patterns.
Those thick and flexible snake tails are gone.
"Just now your hand..."
"I know." Shen Ti saw the panic in his eyes, "I don't know why it suddenly became like that."
An Wujiu looked down at his hands, his fingers were intact and did not fall off. He immediately looked at Wu You, his previously exposed internal organs had also turned back to the fabric of the lab coat at this moment.
Everyone has changed back, everything that happened just now is like a nightmare, but not quite.
The black and red blood spit out by An Wujiu did not disappear.
"I seem to know what this is."
Yang Erci supported the wall and stood up, with a heavy expression on his pale face, "These jars should contain rainbow herbicide, and the orange one is Agent Orange. These potions are mixed with toxic substances, dioxins."
"These things were originally used for weeding, but it seems that in a war a long time ago, they were used to clear visual obstacles."
Hearing this, Nanshan has already closed her eyes and started to recite the mantra of passing away silently.
Zhong Yirou also thought of something, "There is indeed such a thing. It seems that because the vegetation in the battle site is very dense and the concealment is very high, in order to expose the enemy and cut off their military food supply, the U.S. Army ① simply used planes to directly Spray. Dioxin is a substance that is difficult to be metabolized by the human body. It has a half-life of nine years, and it will be absorbed along the food chain for a secondary cycle... "
"That's right." Yang Erci nodded, "I've seen information about this biochemical disaster, they sprayed more than 70 million liters of highly toxic herbicides for nine years, not only killing the Vegetation, and finally entered the human body, and even the breast milk of local women is full of dioxin. So, after this... "
Her usually cold face was also a little moved at this moment.
"Countless deformed children were born in the local area."
An Wujiu understood.
From the two-headed boy at the beginning to the jar later, their distortions are all reminders of this bloody past.
For nine years, these highly poisonous rainbow potions floated in their skies.
After a moment of silence, the little bear jumped in front of them again, but this time, he had only one arm and one leg left after being sprayed with the rainbow potion, so he could only hop on one foot, like playing hopscotch.
"Welcome! Welcome!"
"Rainbow babies are welcome here, deformity is another kind of beauty!"
--------------------
The author has something to say:
① "Agent Orange" pollution occurred during the Vietnam War in the 1960s, and this year happens to be the 60th anniversary of the Agent Orange disaster. The U.S. military has released 76 million liters of herbicides containing highly toxic substances for nine years (they named it "Operation Ranchman" themselves), which is a very serious biochemical pollution. You can search for details (the pictures will be more scary), or you can watch the documentary "Toxic Legacy".
By the way, this herbicide was also developed by DePauw, although the original inventor's original intention was to kill weeds.
The human pillars that cast the bridge are legends, and there was a novel written by Li Bihua in the past that also told this legend. But the rancher action was real, and the harm spreads to this day.
