"He was shedding his skin, it wasn't a plaster statue, the plaster skin on his body turned into quicksand and peeled off.
He was moving, and the glass hourglass in his arms had just run out.
It's an omega boy.
His eye is injured, old injury, drug, I judge he is blind, he is listening to your position. "
Han Xingqian told him what he saw from the surveillance video on the communicator.
The few people hiding in the warehouse held their breath. Lan Bo was not afraid of him at all, and wanted to go out to fight, but Bai Chunian grabbed him back into his arms and covered his mouth.
"It's the No. 613 subject, the spooky hourglass." Bai Chunian lowered his head, typed a few words on the touch screen on his wrist, and sent it to the crawler, asking him for a copy of the sprite's hourglass.
Reptiles and the others have gradually believed in the IOA's position and they will reach a win-win situation, and they also helped him in the international prison. The meaning of the expression has been very clear, and Bai Chunian has become confident in asking them for information.
But the crawler, who is usually always answering questions, has not responded to the message for a long time.
"It's weird, why didn't you seize such a good opportunity for cooperation." Bai Chunian scratched his hair, and transferred He so-called communication, asking him to collect as many clues as possible about the sprite's hourglass. Send it over.
He Zhuo led his team members to wait for the signal ten kilometers away from the island. Seeing the news of Bai Chunian, he tried his best to recall it in his mind for a while.
They had seen a test report on Subject 613 during the ATWL exam, which was found from the corpses of the defeated enemy team members.
The test report reads:
"Special warfare weapon 613 Sprite Hourglass, an experimental body in the cultivation period, which is endowed with advanced chip thinking after being transplanted from an inanimate body with glands, thus possessing emotional and thinking abilities."
In addition to these contents, items such as illnesses are all written with "empty", and only the last remarks column is scribbled with some observations——
"Spirit Hourglass likes to stand or sit motionless, watching and observing the actions of the people around it, and sometimes it can stay motionless for 96 hours without blinking.
The researchers only sent him here because he was too sluggish, and the tests found nothing wrong with him. "
He Suo only knew so much about the ghost hourglass, so he tried to retell it to Bai Chunian from his vague memory.
"Get." Bai Chunian summed it up, "It sounds pretty easy to bully."
However, the test report did not mention the blindness of Shalou's eyes, and from a few words, it can be judged that Shalou could still see things at that time.
"Lan Xing, let's catch him." Bai Chunian said, "Front and back, I'll count one, two, three and rush out."
They broke through the door respectively, Bai Chunian rushed towards the sprite hourglass shaking the fine sand off his body, Bi Lanxing sealed off the vines on his way of retreat.
The sprite hourglass stands expressionless, with only a long piece of white silk wrapped around its body and head, covering the shameful parts, its skin color is close to white sand, and its eyes are covered with a sickly white mist, except for its forehead which is in an inverted triangle shape. Some blue-green dots inlaid with gold borders were distributed, adding a little color to this frail and fragile boy.
After getting close to him, Bai Chunian could clearly see how he was connected to the hourglass. The palms of his hands grew together with the bottom and cover of the hourglass, and they couldn't be separated. The hourglass was part of his apparent mimicry.
Sprite Hourglass heard two loud noises, and slowly turned his head towards the sound. He was originally facing Bi Lanxing, but at this time his head was slowly and smoothly twisted 180 degrees, and he silently used his Bai Wu's confused eyes stared at Bai Chunian.
Although he was blind, his hearing was very sensitive. He judged the direction of Bai Chunian and Rimbaud's attack by his voice, and suddenly turned the hourglass in his hand up and down.
After the hourglass is turned, the white sand in the glass is upside down and slowly flows down from the narrow channel in the middle of the hourglass.
Inexplicably, Bai Chunian bumped his head against Bi Lanxing's vines. At the same time, the water that fell on the ground when Rimbau moved down the bucket of the water dispenser started to burn into flames.
The place where the lights illuminated the ceiling of the corridor became pitch black, while the two warehouses with the lights turned off were inexplicably bright as day.
Bai Chunian felt that it was difficult to breathe. His first reaction was that he thought he had been poisoned by the vines, and then he realized that his body was not injured, it was just that the oxygen he breathed could not be supplied to the body, and the oxygen in the blood was rapidly increasing. outflow.
Bai Chunian reached out to grab the spooky hourglass, but because of the sudden suffocation, the spooky hourglass disappeared.
Others also fell into suffocation, Omega Tan Yang with oxygen glands was the most severely suffocated, while Alpha Tan Qing with hydrogen glands was unscathed.
It was also the first time for Tan Qing to participate in actual combat. Although he was nervous, he was able to maintain the most basic calmness. He threw Bi Lanxing out of the door, and Bi Lanxing regained his breath.
"Come out quickly." Bi Lanxing immediately entangled the others with vines, dragged them out of the corridor, and finally recovered their breathing. They leaned on the wall and gasped for breath.
Bai Chunian rubbed his face to wake himself up.
"I'm careless, is there actually such a powerful experimental body in the cultivation period?"
Bi Lanxing looked at the entrance of the pharmaceutical factory in a daze, and seemed to be weighing his next move.
Bai Chunian looked at the time. Now there is an experimental subject with strong uncertainty in the pharmaceutical factory. For the safety of the students, he has to consider applying for evacuation.
But after today, the research institute may realize that whether it is transferring HD medicine or increasing the density of guards, it will be a big trouble for subsequent searches.
But it seems that Shalou also sneaked in. He killed the security guard, but he didn't get entangled with Bai Chunian and the others. This encounter may be a coincidence.
As the saying goes, the enemy of an enemy is a friend, Bai Chunian is considering whether to take a risk and go deeper.
"I think we should follow." Bi Lanxing said uncertainly, using the sprite hourglass to explore the way to see what his purpose is, and we followed behind. "
"Yes, you can be brave. Rimbaud and I will go ahead." Bai Chunian said.
He has to be responsible for the safety of the students at all times. These teenagers haven't experienced a few actual combats, and they don't have the ability to be independent for the time being.
They entered Exit F again, and before going upstairs, Bai Chunian re-examined the corridor they were in just now.
When stepping into the location that was attacked just now, the suffocation surged again, but as soon as he left that location, the suffocation disappeared. Bai Chunian quickly walked through the suffocating corridor and returned to the two warehouses that had been investigated .
The water on the ground was still burning, and in another warehouse that Bi Lanxing and the others had searched, there was a fresh ripe mango on the table.
"Lanxing, you said before, what's in the warehouse?"
"Newspaper clippings on the wall, a rotten mango on the table."
Bai Chunian picked up the mango from the table and weighed it. It was yellow and heavy, exuding a faint fruity fragrance.
The entry and exit records on the warehouse desktop clearly record that a batch of fresh fruits, including mangoes, entered the cafeteria in the morning. This mango should be taken from the incoming goods. It should be fresh. Even if the temperature here is high, things like mangoes will not rot within a day.
Bai Chunian weighed the mango, and went to the wall to look at the newspaper clippings on the wall. In fact, there were quite a few newspaper clippings on the wall, most of which were promoting the honors obtained by the institute.
The most eye-catching thing is the interview page of Wanzong Group's Lao Lai De Zi. The layout is very complete, and it is pressed on top of other newspaper clippings.
Qiu Wanzong, the founder of Wanzong Group, is old and has a son. He sincerely thanked the research institute for its help and specially donated a batch of expensive equipment. The time of the interview was October 4, K033, and the release time of the sprite hourglass in the release record was November 20, K032, about ten months apart, which happened to be the time required for human gestation.
Bai Chunian went back and looked through the storage records after K033. Indeed, a batch of new equipment was put into storage, and the source was Wan Zong.
There was a scandal in the Wanzong Group three years ago. Qiu Wanzong's grandson, Qiu Hui, made friends with a powerful son and often went to high-end clubs. Because of some vague things, he got drunk and accidentally killed a noble son. He is not a vegetarian. The case went through many twists and turns, and Qiu Wanzong failed to keep his only seedling. Qiu Hui was finally sentenced to ten years in prison, and committed suicide in his second year in prison. As for whether he really committed suicide, many people I am clear in my heart.
At that time, Bai Chunian had just joined the secret service not long ago, and the seniors went to investigate the hidden situation, and when they came back, they chatted with him about the grievances and grievances of the wealthy family, so he heard more rumors.
The old alpha Qiu Wanzong is really unlucky, his son died early, his grandson is gone, the good Wanzong Group has no successors, and there are countless coveters.
"It's a good time... It's really a timely rain." Bai Chunian peeled off the mango and gnawed a couple of bites, which were quite sweet.
If Qiu Wanzong bought 613, this may be the ability of the hourglass.
"The last 3 represents tampering ability... backflow... subversion...reversal." Bai Chunian focused on inferring his ability, looked down at the electronic screen of the watch, and the crawler hadn't answered yet.
Rimbaud crawled over from the ceiling and called him: "I searched around, but there is no one, it's very quiet."
Bai Chunian left the warehouse, met Bi Lanxing on the second floor, and asked about the situation under surveillance by Han Xingqian.
Han Xingqian: "I've confirmed that there is no one in the F area where you are. The hourglass is still advancing, and it is about to leave the monitoring range. It should be close to the A area. I will move to the C area now and see if I can stop it." His way to the mezzanine."
There are six entrances in the outer building, which are coded counterclockwise as ABCDEF six areas.
Bai Chunian: "Okay, how long will it take?"
…
Bai Chunian: "?"
No answer.
Bi Lanxing also called other members of Group B on the communicator, but no one answered.
"Lu Yan? Lu Yan!" Bi Lanxing's voice became a little more panicked.
"Calm down. You are the commander. What you want to think about is what to do next." Bai Chunian trained him, "It's just an experimental subject in the cultivation period. Brother Han A3 Tianma will kill him in minutes. What are you afraid of?"
Bi Lanxing closed his eyes forcefully, Bai Chunian could see that his legs were shaking, and the hand holding the gun was also shaking.
"I can't, I don't know how to..."
Bai Chunian straightened his head, held his pale face in both hands and stared at him: "Sooner or later, you will have to do this. If I'm not here, they will only listen to you. If you hesitate for a second, there will be another corpse of a team member." Send it back to you."
Beads of sweat trickled down Bi Lanxing's forehead to his chin, and he said hoarsely, "I'm not ready yet."
"When will you be ready? When the idiot rabbits are wiped out?"
Bi Lanxing's shoulders trembled.
A cold muzzle hit Bi Lanxing's temple, Rimbaud entangled him from behind, and whispered in his ear: "If you do something wrong, I'll shoot, it's no big deal, no one will die if you die You are the one to blame, the worst outcome is nothing more than that."
Pressed back and forth by this couple of secret agents, Bi Lanxing seemed to be standing on the edge of a cliff, forced to fly over a 100-meter gully, with a splitting headache and on the verge of going crazy, and shouted an order in a low voice: "Bai Chunian, Rimbaud, go to the middle floor!" Monitoring room, Tan Qing, Tan Yang and I went to the outer monitoring room to search for the members of Group B, tried to contact each minute, and after the investigation, meet at my map point, and first remove the position of the hourglass."
Bai Chunian paused.
He let go of his hand and snapped his fingers in satisfaction: "That's right, you're so good. Rimbaud, let's go."
Lan Bo threw the pistol in the air in a circle and took it back. The tail of the fish was wrapped around Bai Chunian's body, and he jumped down from the window more than ten meters away and ran to the mezzanine.
"I said you too, don't take out your gun at all times, in case he is frightened."
"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Rimbaud entangled him lazily, rubbing the dust on his pistol on his back, "I have taught more children than you have eaten, and you were also raised by me, Isn't it well-raised, and I haven't been frightened."
