Neither of them breathed a sigh of relief when they saw a familiar face. Bai Chunian inserted the pistol back into the leather gun belt on the outside of his thigh, drew a trickle from the collar around his neck, and cast it into a dead sea heart rock dagger in his palm, Rimbaud also erected his dorsal fin spikes and walked slowly on the wall near them, ready to fight at any time.
Bai Chunian looked at Eris. His entire face seemed to have been fine-tuned by an aesthetic expert-level plastic surgeon. His facial features still had the richness of the medieval age, but those edges and corners that were intended to cater to Ailian's preferences and excessively pursued extravagance It has been rounded, so it looks only sixteen or seventeen years old now, and the innocent baby face conceals the bloodthirsty and cruelty under the skin tightly.
However, the basis of these experimental subjects is the pale and thin juvenile appearance fabricated according to Ai Lian's preferences, which no one can completely change.
He wore overalls and a long-sleeved white shirt with small gemstones here and there on the cuff buttons, on his shoes and stockings, and the ruffled lace at the collar of the shirt was fastened by a ruby button. For decoration, this heart-shaped ruby still has considerable weight and size after being polished and cut. It seems that the original stone must not be small.
Bai Chunian recognized it at a glance. It was the ruby that was snatched from Rimbaud by the black panther. He thought Nix would give it to Erris to redo the mechanical core, but now he only cut out a clear one. The essential part is a decorative buckle, so what mechanical core is driving Eris to move? Did the Knicks find a better gem
"Brother, what a coincidence." Eris just called out affectionately, with her long and narrow mouth open and raised, she looked at Bai Chunian eerily, and shook the S686 barrel in her hand, which was carved with retro patterns and decorated with gold powder. He opened it, threw two shotgun shells into it, and then closed the barrel with a snap.
"You're not dead?" Bai Chunian asked, "You didn't use the gemstone core, so what is your body powered by? What is the battle chip used to carry?"
Facing the few questions that Bai Chunian asked, Eris continued to think, holding his chin with his severed hand that was still dripping blood, but he looked serious in thought. Eris is not good at disguising either, and his inability to answer right away means he really doesn't know.
A hand was placed on Eris' shoulder suddenly, stopping his thinking, and a blond-haired, blue-eyed white man alpha stepped out of the shadows.
The puppeteer is also there.
Bai Chunian immediately gave up the idea of killing Eris before going deeper into the research institute. The puppeteer is also a smart person. When he saw the angel and the mermaid acting together, he immediately gave up the plan of confronting each other.
The puppeteer was the first to speak, breaking the stiff atmosphere: "Eris' battle chip has been burned, and we are here to find a suitable battle chip." The conflict at the pharmaceutical factory has never been the same.
Bai Chunian also stretched out his hand naturally, and shook hands with the puppeteer: "We were ordered to pick up Mr. Osrov. He is the pharmacist here and our undercover agent."
Their excellent psychological quality made them not reveal any flaws in each other's micro-expressions, but they also couldn't see through what the other was hiding.
Bai Chunian smiled and thought to himself: "Nonsense, if you want to find a combat chip, it's much easier to go to the cultivation base to grab it than to steal it from the headquarters. Are you trying to imply that I, Eris, has no combat ability now?"
The puppeteer nodded silently, thinking: "The rescue operation is not armed, and only two people act, which is unreasonable. After all, is the difference in IQ between the same messenger type experimental subjects intentional? Is there any other way to do it?" Is it better?"
Seeing the two people confronting each other secretly, Rimbaud scratched his head silently to recall who Osrov was, and Eris lifted the hem of his shirt to look at his belly button, wondering if what he had eaten was a combat chip.
"It seems that this building is a bit different from the expected situation. If we drop by, we can walk for a while." The puppeteer said.
"Please go ahead." Bai Chunian readily agreed. If there is an emergency, having two more A3-level helpers will increase the odds of winning by two points. It is also good to have them to block the gun when necessary, and solve the two IOAs by the way. The fugitives on the wanted list can also relieve the chairman of the follow-up pressure.
Bai Chunian spread out half a map on the spot, and hooked his hand towards the puppeteer: "How about sharing the information here, this is the architectural map we drew." What he took out was a blank map printed out by the crawler , without Professor Lin Deng's annotation.
Sincerity has been put on the ground, the puppeteer also said: "It will be better to go to the testing room."
A few of the experimental subjects in Snow White Castle came from the headquarters of the research institute. The puppeteer drew the safest route based on their chaotic dictation. After seeing the map that Bai Chunian took out, the puppeteer confirmed himself The accuracy of the planned route.
Bai Chunian also confirmed his plan because of the puppeteer's description. He stood up, snatched his severed left hand from Eris, took off the sapphire fish-shaped ring on the ring finger, put it on the regenerated ring finger of the new left hand, and casually pointed the severed hand to the door behind the door. Throw it away in the trash can.
"Let's go, go down the stairs, the testing room is on the minus fifteenth floor."
Rimbaud crawled up and down the wall, and the electro-optical fish tail flashed blue light in the dark. He still hated Eris, but since Xiaobai decided to cooperate, he didn't care about it for the time being. Eris didn't have the consciousness of sneaking in. She sat on the banister of the stairs and slid down the slide. From time to time, she let out a whoosh, and the terrifying and sharp laughter echoed in the deep stairwell.
Bai Chunian and the puppeteer went down the stairs side by side, observing each other from the corner of their eyes. The puppeteer found that Bai Chunian walked on tiptoe like a cat, without making any sound. Bai Chunian also found that the puppeteer cherished his hands very much. He wore a pair of black half-palm gloves and would not touch anything casually. thing. But other than that, I can't read any more messages, because they are very vigilant against each other and each has their own ghosts.
"What do you think happened here?" Bai Chunian asked as he walked with his trousers pockets in his pockets. "The researcher and security guards are gone, and there is a large-scale power outage. Did he go bankrupt and run away? There is no news."
"We haven't been here for long." The puppeteer said, "It's true that we haven't seen any living people yet. But some of their areas and equipment have tidal and wind power storage as backup power. Check to see if they are still in operation. machine."
After successfully reaching the fifteenth floor of the basement, the temperature also dropped, and a cold dampness hit.
There is no light at all here, and the four of them are close together and cannot see each other's faces. Only Rimbaud's fish tail emits blue light. In the dark environment, his translucent luminescent fish tail looks like a snake that can crawl. Moving blue skeleton spine.
Bai Chunian raised the flashlight, and the strong light shone on the roof. The ceiling was at least six meters high from the ground to the ceiling, and the walls were covered with seamless silver heat insulation panels with a sense of technology.
He sniffed and felt an imperceptible smell of blood in the air, so he held up the flashlight to shine on the suspicious place, but the lighting range of the flashlight was still too small. The open space here was nearly 300 square meters, and he searched inch by inch. It takes too much time.
Suddenly there was a small sound on the ceiling, a bit like a wooden floor being stepped on. Bai Chunian took photos of other people, they were not as sensitive as his hearing, so they didn't notice this slight abnormal sound.
According to the control and monitoring equipment in this large space, this is the observation platform of the testing room. Generally speaking, the researchers who are responsible for testing the various functions of the experimental body sit here and use the control buttons to control the testing process.
All the equipment inside has been powered off, but that's good, at least the monitoring is also turned off, so they don't need to worry about hiding from the monitoring.
Bai Chunian was circling around the equipment when he suddenly kicked something hard and rolled away, making a loud noise in the quiet and empty room.
I took a flashlight to see that it was an overturned vacuum flask. Although the equipment was still intact, many chairs were overturned, the flower pots on the window sill were overturned, and broken pottery and soil were scattered on the ground, leaving some chaotic footprints on the soil.
Bai Chunian squatted on the ground to study the footprints on the soil, which looked like footprints left by running, because there were traces of sliding. He dropped to the ground and sniffed the ground.
That's right, the smell of blood emanated from the clean floor, but the ground was clean without a single trace of blood.
"The chair was overturned, which means that the chaos was caused by an unexpected incident, but if there is an intruder, or if there is a test subject running wild and resisting, it stands to reason that there will always be some blood on the ground." Bai Chunian said to himself while rubbing his chin. He said to himself, "That's the alarm. The alarm notified that there was a danger, and then all the researchers evacuated urgently. As for the bloody smell on the ground, it should be that before that, they just killed a test subject that ran out of control, and then called for cleaning and cleaning. There was blood."
Only this speculation is the most reasonable.
The puppeteer was also looking for clues. He approached a console with an overturned water cup, then took out a small plastic bag from his pocket, sprinkled the magnetic powder inside on the button of the console, and turned the flashlight to The purple light shone.
Bai Chunian leaned over: "No fingerprints?"
The puppeteer nodded slightly: "There are no fingerprints on these consoles. It's like no one has ever existed."
"Fuck, it's really evil." Bai Chunian put his pockets in his pockets, "Even if the world evaporates, there should be fingerprints."
Eris called to them: "Hey, Nix, come and see, I know this thing."
They walked over following the sound, and Eris pointed to the entrance of the inspection area. The entrance is double-layered. You have to open one door first, walk in, and close the door before the second door will open. The space between the double-layer doors allows at most two people. Individuals stand back and forth.
The electronic lock light on the door turned out to be on.
In order to avoid unexpected power outages causing accidents to the test subjects under test, the power supply in the detection area is independent. After the main power supply is cut off unexpectedly, the backup power supply will be connected immediately. The backup power supply uses tidal and wind power generation, which can ensure maintenance in the main power supply During the stable power supply.
Rimbaud glanced at the door, and looked down at the nails boredly: "I have also done the first test of the experimental subject."
Rimbaud and Eris have both stayed at the headquarters of the institute, and they are more familiar with the testing room than they are.
The function of the testing room is to screen out defective experimental bodies, and then rate the remaining experimental bodies for sale and pricing.
And this first test is the simplest, the red-green color blindness screening.
Rimbaud said: "There will be an elevator coming up, one person on the red light, and two people on the green light. If you go up wrong, it will be destroyed on the spot. There is an incinerator inside the door. After passing through, we will be sent to the armed force detection area."
Eris happily recounted her previous experience: "Of course I can tell the difference between red and green, but I just made a mistake on purpose, and the baffle under my feet opened, and I fell in, and the flames spewed out. They thought I was burned to ashes." I opened the drawer of the incinerator, I jumped out, stuffed them all into the furnace, and then turned on the fire, hahahahahaha, if only the furnace door was transparent, I could see what they were doing Beg me inside."
Rimbaud frowned and turned his head away. He was very afraid of fire, so he didn't dare to make mistakes at that time.
After their description, Bai Chunian understood the rules. The detection rule for red-green color blindness is that when the arriving elevator lights up red, only one moving object is allowed in the elevator; Allowing two active targets to exist, the number of people is wrong, or the elevator is empty, will be recognized as an error, and then the destruction device will be activated.
According to the marks on the map, if you don't have an ID card and don't take the elevator, then it is only feasible to go through the inspection area.
"Let's go, who will go first?" Bai Chunian asked, and then lightly grabbed Rimbaud's hand: "It's okay, I'll hold you, I won't be able to burn you."
Eris looked at them and snorted, "I'll go first, there's nothing to be afraid of."
After finishing speaking, he fiddled with the electronic lock casually, opened the door on the first floor, and walked in. The puppeteer frowned. He didn't seem to agree with Eris' indifferent attitude, and walked in.
The electronic lock automatically locked, and they began to wait for the elevator.
In fact, it is an elevator. The door inside is a steel sliding door with many intersecting grids. If the environment is not as dark as it is now, you can see the situation inside the elevator.
The pitch-black elevator arrived, and suddenly a red light came on.
The steel sliding door, which had not been activated for a long time, creaked and slowly opened to one side.
"See? It's that simple, the elevator will take us to the force detection area." Eris jumped into the blood-red elevator, made a face at them outside, and flipped the stick-like switch to lift The ladder slowly carried him up.
Bai Chunian looked at them through the transparent glass, it was indeed very simple.
Eris slowly ascended, and the second pitch-black elevator also went up with pauses.
The elevator stopped in front of the puppeteer.
Suddenly, the red light came on, illuminating the space inside the elevator. An experimental subject with a shriveled face and only two black holes in its eye sockets rushed out. Its long withered arms squeezed out from the gap in the sliding door, roaring at the puppet. The teacher pounced.
It was so thin that it looked like it hadn't had water or rice in it for several days.
Bai Chunian took a step back in surprise, but the puppeteer remained indifferent, put one hand in his pocket, silently raised his right hand, and sympathetically supported its empty gray eye sockets.
The steel sliding door ruthlessly slid open to one side automatically, cutting the shriveled experimental subjects squeezed inside into pieces.
The puppeteer stepped into the elevator, sighed softly, and slowly went up.
After they all went in, Bai Chunian pulled Rimbaud into the double doors, the electronic lock was locked, and the elevator began to move upwards.
Bai Chunian shook Lan Bo's hand: "Are you afraid?"
Lan Bo hung on Bai Chunian's body from behind, put his arms around his neck, and whispered in his ear: "I really want to say I'm afraid, and then let you coax me..."
The elevator arrived in front of them, and the green light suddenly turned on.
However, behind the switch of the long stick wrench, a skinny experimental subject was stuck, with hair covering his face, like a female ghost crawling out of a well, half dead, moaning in pain.
The rules require that only two people can go up in the elevator with the green light on, and if there is one experimental subject inside, then only one more can go up.
Bai Chunian patted Lan Bo: "Go, wait for me up there."
After the steel sliding door was opened, Rimbaud climbed in, stood beside the ghost-like experimental subject indifferently, and checked the stuck condition of the experimental subject.
"Your life is at the end, wait for me to go up and help you end this life happily." Rimbaud said to it.
Rimbaud also took the elevator up.
Bai Chunian waited quietly for the next escalator, the red light is the best, if the green light is on, but there is no creature inside, with his feline skills, he should be able to quickly climb up from above.
The dark elevator arrived creakingly, and Bai Chunian waited silently.
The green light suddenly turned on, and at the same time, a mummy-like experimental subject locked inside suddenly jumped up and screamed at Bai Chunian. His face was only covered with thin skin, and his lips were shriveled together. .
Bai Chunian wiped his face.
He walked in, hugged the roaring ferocious mummy, and stood helplessly around his neck.
"Brother, I'm sorry, this elevator must be taken by two people."
—
When the elevator arrived at the station, when Bai Chunian walked down, he snapped the neck of the little mummy.
He looked up, and indeed, as Eris said, there was a raised word "tested by force" printed on the wall.
However, the only one waiting here is the puppeteer.
Bai Chunian was startled: "What about them?"
The puppeteer shook his head.
Bai Chunian pressed the communicator and called Lan Bo: "Wife, wife, are you up?"
"Come up." Rimbaud replied.
Bai Chunian breathed a sigh of relief: "Where are you?"
Rimbaud raised his head, looked at the words "intelligence test" raised on the wall, and tried to read: "Rili Mubei."
Eris was right next to Rimbaud, walking around with both hands on his trousers straps, muttering, "Ah, this, this, I've never been here before."
