After crossing the landslide with a width of about 12 meters, they were already far away from the lights in the detection area, and they returned to darkness.
In the dim light, the puppeteer still saw Bai Chunian's state clearly at this time. He was lying on the ground. Although his arms were around Rimbaud as a gesture of protection, the ear mimicry uncontrollably under the mental shock Appeared, the lion's ears were clinging to the head, the pupils were slack, and the mouth was slightly open, panting rapidly, which is a sign of stress.
And the only thing nearby that might cause him a stressful shock is the puppeteer looking around, all he can see in the dim environment is a black shadow flashing by in the corner, a white mouse for experimental research. Puppeteers work with them every day before graduating from medical school.
The puppeteer couldn't laugh when he saw his soul-stirring look. He observed Rimbaud's skillful and ordinary movements and expressions when he caressed and comforted Bai Chunian, which seemed like a habit he had developed many years ago.
Lan Bo was indifferent to the others. He knelt down on the ground and pulled Xiao Bai into his arms. Bai Chunian buried his head in him and hugged him for a while, then quickly gathered his spirits and acted nonchalantly. Bite off the small blue plastic fish rubber band on his wrist and tie it into a pull on the back of his head.
"I'm fine, I just fell down, and I'm a little confused." Bai Chunian's face and Rimbaud's cheek were very close to each other, occasionally rubbing against each other.
"Really. I picked up some things, let's take a look." The sound of footsteps approached them and stopped. The puppeteer slightly bent down, holding a metal object in his hand, and when he let go, the object fell It came down and landed at Bai Chunian's feet with a clang.
Hearing the sound, Bai Chunian turned his head to look at it, his pupils shrank immediately, and his hair exploded like a cat that was violently frightened, and bounced off the ground.
Rimbaud was frightened by his sudden reaction, and looked back at the thing that fell on the ground. It was a pair of medical pliers that were much larger than ordinary models, and to be precise, it was a beast armor puller.
"The shadow left by the larva will form a conditioned reflex that lasts for a long time." The puppeteer narrated flatly, "A little test, whether the degree of relatives of the experimental subject is inversely proportional to the injury suffered in the infancy, it seems that this is not the case. It seems that adult personality is more dependent on nurture than on genetics."
"Go away." Rimbaud raised his eyelids and glanced sharply at the puppeteer. He picked up the medical pliers on the ground and held them in his hands. An electric current surged from his palm. The steel turned red and melted when it was electrified, and the molten iron flowed to the ground and became hot. The smoke slowly solidified on the ground.
"Are you okay?" He hurriedly crawled to Bai Chunian's side and patted his back lightly. Rimbaud's life span is too long, he has lived in the world for nearly 300 years, many pains and fears are familiar to him, but Xiaobai is different, when he was born as a blank sheet, he was severely rubbed Wrinkled and torn.
"It's okay." Bai Chunian propped his hands on the edge of the table in the middle of the room, lowered his head and shook his head to wake himself up.
Rimbaud gently stroked his ears, and recited soothing sentences in his ears.
Bai Chunian's eyelids were red, he couldn't help but clenched his fists, his fingertips seemed to be aching.
Rimbaud entangled him from behind, put his hand lightly on the back of his hand, and gently stroked his abdomen with the other hand.
Eris laughed inappropriately, put his arms around Bai Chunian's shoulder and mocked loudly: "Brother, you are so weak."
"Eris." The puppeteer called him, raised his right hand wearing a half-palm glove, and a suture needle wearing bloody thread fell to Eris' feet. Eris was startled, exaggerated like Jump away like an electric shock.
At the same time, the abnormal rhythm in the core of the chest made him hold his heart in a daze, as if the simulated mechanical core inside was beating violently.
"Empathy." The puppeteer admonished in a low voice.
"Gotit, gotit~" Eris put away his sarcasm, and strolled back to the puppeteer in a bored manner, grabbing the straps of his trousers with both hands and looking around at the surrounding decorations.
The damp room was filled with the smell of disinfectant that was about to dissipate, and a stench that almost masked the smell of disinfectant.
Bai Chunian shook Lan Bo's hand to indicate that he was fine, and turned on the flashlight to illuminate the furnishings in the room inch by inch.
There is a yellow trash can on the floor to the left of the desk, which contains medical waste, from which the puppeteer's suture needles and medical forceps are taken out.
The puppeteer was standing at his desk reading the files left in the drawer.
"This is the place where the test subjects who pass the ability test will have their physical examination." The puppeteer put down the moldy file and pushed back the drawer containing the stethoscope, thermometer and other sundries.
In the dark corner, rats were squeaking. Bai Chunian cautiously moved the beam of the flashlight there, and saw a door on the right side in the deepest part of the room, but he pushed hard, but the door didn't move.
Bai Chunian turned his head and found a crack in the wall.
"The wall is cracked." Bai Chunian walked to the corner against the wall farthest from the mouse, and groped for the crack with his fingertips, "It seems that the wall was cracked by an electric drill next door." But the crack is too small, so turn on the light Can't see what's inside.
He moved while groping, and suddenly kicked a box with his foot, so he squatted down to check. It was a fresh-keeping freezer, and there were many broken test tubes of medicine scattered on the floor. After too long time, many medicines had evaporated and dried up, leaving some stains on the ground.
"Xiaobai, I just ate a melon." Lan Bo leaned his head and squeezed over. When Bai Chunian turned his head, he saw Lan Bo holding the tail of the squeaking mouse upside down with two fingers, swishing it in a circle and then Throw it into the landslide ditch outside the room.
"Well, it's dead." Rimbaud comforted.
"...where did you find the melon?"
"In the fruit basket by the hanger."
"Aren't they all rotten? They all stink."
"The melon is not rotten."
"Hey, don't eat indiscriminately." Bai Chunian found that the freezer couldn't be opened directly. There was a cipher on it, but because of a power outage, the cipher screen was black.
This kind of cipher is similar to the one in the stairwell of the entrance hall. When the power is on, you need to enter the password to open it. When the power is off, the hydraulic lock will be automatically locked. It cannot be opened from inside or outside unless it is violently smashed. Like the strong metal plate, it cannot be easily broken by just one person.
"There is an electric control box here." The puppeteer illuminated the left wall with a thumb flashlight, opened the shell of the electric control box, and checked carefully: "The switch was turned off artificially." He turned the main switch up.
All he could hear was a hissing sound from the overhead lights, and then suddenly turned on.
The room was so brightly lit that all three, except Eris, shaded their eyes to adjust to the sudden light.
"That's right, it's much brighter now." The freezer in front of Bai Chunian also turned on a green light to indicate that it was running, and the key on the password device lit up, indicating that a six-digit password needs to be entered. Bai Chunian patiently took out the decoder from his backpack, connected it to the cipher and waited for reading.
"What are you trying to do with the cabinet? If there is a door, just smash it." Eris was so irritable that he couldn't wait to knock on the door, but there seemed to be something on the other side of the door, and it was difficult to push it open.
Bai Chunian's decoder finished reading, the password was automatically filled in, and the hydraulic lock of the freezer was released with air.
As soon as the lid of the cabinet was opened, swarms of flies rushed out like a buzzing black whirlwind, mixed with a strong stench.
The tip of Rimbaud's tail was discharged, and a thunderbolt power grid was pulled away from Xiaobai's face, covering the freezer. The flies were scorched and fell by the power grid, and were cleaned up in a minute or two.
The freezer was bloody and messy, and the walls were covered with dirty blood. A highly decomposed headless corpse crouched inside, wearing a white coat from the 109 Research Institute.
"Hey, it smells like this. It's been a long time since I died." Bai Chunian lifted the small metal half-face gas mask on the collar of his combat uniform and buckled it over his nose and mouth, "See if there is anything useful on him."
Rimbaud leaned on the edge of the freezer and reached in to search for it. Carrion, blood and corpse oil stained his arm, but it was purified within ten seconds. After searching for a long time, he was still clean.
The puppeteer couldn't help sighing in his heart, the mermaid is indeed an ancient mysterious and holy creature. Only such advanced organisms that can maintain the development of the planet in the direction of recovery rather than destruction are worthy of living in the world.
Rimbaud found an ID card in the dead body's pocket. According to the information on the magnetic card, the name of the deceased was Abby, alpha, and the department he belonged to was the "specimen room".
Eris was still banging on the door and making noises, Bai Chunian rested his chin to think again, replaying what happened in this room in his mind.
Puppeteer: "The soft tissues are almost eaten by fly maggots, and the adult worms have fully hatched. The deceased should have died for nearly four weeks. There are two main points. First, a human being who lost his head cannot climb into the freezer and cover it with his body alone. Complicated actions. Second, the corpse moves naturally, not artificially put into the freezer. He threw everything out of the freezer, and then squatted into the freezer, obviously avoiding something. It means that the murderer is chasing him. Is it human , or an experimental subject."
Bai Chunian: "He ran out, opened the lid of the freezer with the password, and left it open, then ran to turn off the switch, and then came back to hide in the freezer to lock himself, but the murderer cut off his head first and slapped the lid on gone."
Puppeteer: "Or he squatted in the freezer first, and then the murderer chopped off his head, then covered him, and finally turned off the switch to lock him up."
Bai Chunian: "The murderer took his head away, or bit it off and swallowed it."
"Um."
"Forget it, this question is meaningless, I'll think about it later." Bai Chunian walked over to Eris, but Eris was still banging on the door hard.
"The door is not locked. But it can't be pushed or smashed. There seem to be many things leaning against the door." Eris shook his hand.
Bai Chunian also tried, but it was indeed not easy to push, the door seemed to be solid, as if something was pressing against it tightly.
Rimbaud also tried to push.
There was a faint crackling sound of electric mosquito swatters and electric mosquitoes coming from the crack of the door.
The door creaked open without any resistance. Rimbaud staggered too hard and almost fell in, but Bai Chunian grabbed his arm and dragged him back.
Rimbaud frowned and swept the dust off his shoulders: "There is nothing blocking it at all."
"Go in first." Bai Chunian cautiously poked half his head in to observe the situation. The inside became bright due to the power restoration. This place is similar to the subway security inspection machine, except that the subway security inspection is luggage, and here is the whole person.
There is a duty desk outside the closed security check passage, and a computer is placed on the desk to check the security check imaging.
Rimbaud was quite familiar with this place, and without hesitation, he lifted the blackout lead curtain and walked into the dark X-ray security inspection channel. Eris has also gone through the security check of the research institute, knowing that there is nothing to be afraid of, so he dragged the puppeteer to catch up.
Bai Chunian deliberately slowed down, and stepped back on the security conveyor belt without a sound.
He quietly sat in front of the security check computer, and tried to input the permission code on Abby's ID card into the computer.
The surveillance computer successfully displayed the security X-ray image.
Rimbaud was the first to walk over. Only his skeleton can be photographed, and any internal organs are wrapped in random currents, which cannot be imaged.
It seems that because of this, Rimbaud was not discovered the existence of pearls in his body in the cultivation base and research institute, and was rashly injected with mimic drugs, causing tragedy.
"Ranbo..." Bai Chunian sighed deeply.
After Rimbaud's X-ray security image moved away, Eris ran over. The image was a solid spherical joint doll, only the glands in the back of the neck became translucent like ordinary internal organs, and other parts were The ceramics are covered with white flowers, which cannot be seen through at all.
What Bai Chunian most wanted to see was where the puppeteer hid the sacred clockwork. There was indeed a trap in his apron pocket, and the sacred clockwork was hidden in the interlayer of the trap.
Other than that, other organs and bones of the puppeteer are the same as ordinary humans. Except the heart.
It's strange that the white part of the heart can't be seen through.
