"..."
Bai Chunian secretly came to a conclusion.
The green light above the security check channel shows that the number of people who have passed the security check has gradually jumped from 1 to 3. In order not to make them suspicious, Bai Chunian took Abby's ID card and hurried in. In the security channel.
The X-ray security inspection images on the computer screen showed Bai Chunian's whole body skeleton - the lion ears on the top of the head swayed slightly, a tail was dragging behind him, the Dead Sea Heart Rock collar on the neck and the Dead Sea Heart Rock bell on the tip of the tail were both solid Can't see through.
After Bai Chunian passed, the whole room fell silent. The arrows on the computer screen moved slowly.
The arrow moved to the cross in the upper right corner, closing the X-ray security imaging page.
The green light board above the security check channel showed that the number of people who had passed the security check jumped to 5, then jumped to 6, 7, 8, 9... Afterwards, the lights in the entire room went out together with the green light board.
When Bai Chunian walked out of the security inspection channel, he raised the lead curtain and saw darkness in front of him.
"The power has not been restored here?" He froze for a moment, and turned on the flashlight to illuminate it.
In the shadow where the light beam didn't reach, someone's shadow approached. Bai Chunian reacted extremely quickly and quickly jumped out of the passage. In his haste, his hand holding the flashlight hit a hard object, making a muffled sound.
He turned his head to look at the place where he was just standing, and there was a researcher wearing a white uniform of the institute lying on the ground, facing the ground, his head was missing.
Bai Chunian squatted down to examine it carefully. It was similar to the death of the researcher who died in the freezer. The broken neck and rotting body were full of maggots.
There was an extra light around him, and the puppeteer leaned over and took a photo of the corpse with a thumb flashlight: "It's about the same time as the death of the researcher in the freezer, and it can still be judged that the corpse spots gathered on the legs and died standing up. Just now Eris Moved the medicine cabinet, and he hid in the cracks."
"What is this place?" Bai Chunian asked.
The puppeteer turned the light on the wall, on which was hung "Instructions for Using the Specimen Room".
Rimbaud crawled back from other places, stuck to the wall, and flicked the tip of his tail: "There are five corpses on the ground, all of them are researchers, and none of them have heads. There are also some glass cabinets containing specimens."
"I'll go and have a look." Bai Chunian hurried over.
There are many vertical cabinets placed against the wall in the specimen room. Through the glass door of the cabinets, you can see the labeled reagent bottles, some disposable surgical tools, alcohol lamps and many other experimental sundries.
The researchers' corpses were not scattered on their workstations, but were hidden in various corners, in a panicked posture of hiding and guarding.
Counting the corpses that just fell down, there are a total of six corpses in this room. The corpses hidden under the dissecting table have used empty liquid nitrogen cannon capsules scattered around their hands, and the corpses hidden in the disinfection cabinet have thrown two dozen cannon capsules at their feet. Empty SH shielding agent, the cabinet door left traces of being violently opened, and the corpse hidden in the storage box tightly hugged a submachine gun. Only the dead body in the middle of the room is holding a flamethrower.
"Well..." Bai Chunian looked at each of them one by one, "I resisted, but it was useless. It must be an experimental subject. The researchers at the headquarters have rich experience in dealing with out-of-control experimental subjects, and generally there will be no group destruction. The level of this experimental subject is not high. Low."
There are many long glass sterile cabinets arranged in the specimen room. It seems that each of them is equipped with an independent power supply and a backup power supply to keep the operation in case of unexpected power failure and ensure the safety of the internal specimens.
The glass sterile cabinet at Bai Chunian's hand was filled with liquid, inside was an oarfish floating inside, with a scaleless body and covered with beautiful silver guanine. Although the specimen was lifelike, its eyes had completely lost their vitality.
There is an electronic screen in the lower left corner of the aseptic cabinet, and the scrolling text tells about the source and whereabouts of this specimen. This oarfish was caught ashore from the Pacific Ocean a year ago. It was made into a specimen because the transformation failed but it was very rare. .
The specimens placed in these glass cases have different degrees of mimicry, ranging from pure animal and plant shapes to human body shapes.
Bai Chunian looked up and saw Eris standing in front of a glass specimen cabinet in a daze, so he walked closer and looked at the things inside.
It was a human teenager, in his teens, of Caucasian appearance, with a naked body and shaved hair all over his body. He clasped his hands across his chest, as if praying in church.
He closed his eyes peacefully and seemed to be just asleep. The surface of his body was covered with sutures. It seemed that starting from the head, the neck, torso, limbs, knees, shoulders, elbows, and fingertips were all separated and then spliced together. .
Bai Chunian carefully read the information on the electronic screen in the lower left corner. This young man was named Adrian. He was born in Glasgow, England in K017. He was abandoned by his parents at the door of the church and raised by a priest. In K029, researchers discovered his differentiation potential. After that, he bought it back from the priest.
It has been determined that Adrian's gland type is an owl, and the pheromone is heather. After the transformation, some genes in the gland are deleted, making it suitable for the transformation of the first inanimate test subject with code 6.
Bai Chunian touched Eris with his elbow: "It seems that the glands on the back of your neck belonged to him."
Eris showed an exaggerated smile: "What nonsense are you talking about? This body was originally mine, and it was replaced fifty-three times." He moved to Bai Chunian mysteriously, raised his hands, and parted the corners of his lips Proudly asked him: "Which finger do you think hurts the most when it is cut off?"
Bai Chunian thought for a while: "The ring finger of the left hand."
Eris was disappointed: "What, so you know. Huh."
Bai Chunian's eyes glanced at the several stuffed lion cubs lying quietly in the glass cabinet, he took a deep breath and searched for the door of this room with the flashlight on.
The herbarium is very large, and it took a long time to see the end. A glass herbarium close to the wall was shattered, and the glass shattered all over the floor. A thick rhizome of a plant took root here, absorbing the remaining water in the glass cabinet. Viscous liquid.
The electronic screen in the lower left corner was also broken, and no useful information could be obtained.
This plant has grown very large, and the thigh-thick branches are growing towards a door on the wall. The metal door is open, but the gap in the door has been completely blocked by the thick branches, and it is impossible to get out.
Bai Chunian tried his best to peek into the next room through the gaps in the branches, but the other side was also pitch black.
"Eris, go back and see if the room with the electric switch has tripped. Why is it so dark?"
"Why should I go?"
"Oh, I see, you are afraid of the dark. I'm going to tell the puppeteer."
Eris jumped up: "I'm not afraid. Just turn on the switch." He turned and left.
When Eris returned to the entrance of the security inspection channel, the puppeteer was checking the medicines in the medicine cabinet, and Rimbaud was sniffing the corpses and looking for things in their clothes. He greeted casually and went back the same way, showing displeasure. Assuming it.
The puppeteer picked up a bottle of strong ammonia water and looked at it, then casually chatted with Rimbaud.
"At the Huaerhua pharmaceutical factory, I thought you would do anything to kill the undead."
Rambo didn't even raise his head: "I will, after killing some things that are in the way of eyes."
"But he hurt your emissary. What are you waiting for with such vengeance?"
"It's not just it that hurts Xiaobai."
The puppeteer smiled slightly: "It's not like your character not to retaliate."
Rimbaud straightened up, sat next to the corpse, and rested his hands lazily on the fish's bent knee: "I want to complete Xiaobai's experience as a human being, otherwise he will always be full of fantasies about human beings. He hasn't been hurt enough. , I feel sorry for him, but I can only let him do it. He is full of enthusiasm, which is what I lack in nature, and it is also the reason why I like him. The secret of eternal life is enough indifference, you should also experience it. "
After hearing his words, the puppeteer was a little surprised, turned around and pulled the chair to sit down, listened attentively, and inserted a sentence at the right time: "It is inevitable for the experimental body to be squeezed out by humans, because it is powerful and the number is small. As long as the number is enough Many, the ones who are squeezed out are human beings, weak and fragile creatures with no faith or awe rely on numbers to dominate the world, and they are complacent, and it makes people sick to watch."
Rimbaud gently curled his curly hair with his fingertips: "That's right. Human beings are the losers who were expelled ashore by the sea tribe thousands of years ago. They are useless except for destruction. Occasionally there are a few conscientious ones, and the number is negligible. .”
The two chatted happily.
The puppeteer leaned back in the chair, and put his bony hands on his knees in a gentlemanly way: "It seems that our side is more suitable for you, should you think about it."
"You don't understand." Rimbaud was noncommittal, and glanced in the direction of Xiaobai in the distance, "His emotions are infecting me, let me know that I am alive. How can I let him down. Compared with what I once thought What's more, I hope that his enthusiasm and compassion will never fade throughout his life, and all the evil thoughts and killings can be contaminated in my hands." Rimbaud leisurely pulled out the dagger, stabbed it heavily upside down on the corpse, and said lazily: "I don't care. "
In the far corner, Bai Chunian called him "wife."
Hearing the call, Rimbaud raised his index finger to the puppeteer, and made a secret gesture to cover his lips. His gloomy eyebrows and slender fingers with webs were quite charming like the siren sea monster in mythology. Immediately afterwards, Rimbaud changed into a pair of pure, gentle and holy eyes, and quickly crawled along the wall.
"Come spicy."
—
Just as Rimbaud left, the lights in the room suddenly turned on, and some electronic equipment restarted, beeping one after another.
A head suddenly protruded from under the lead curtain of the security inspection channel. The puppeteer looked at him sideways, and Eris tilted his head and said, "I just went to turn on the switch. It's so strange. The headless corpse in the freezer is gone. There is a dead body in it." It's clean, like new, I don't know who wiped it."
"How could it be?" The puppeteer thought for a moment, turned around immediately, and found that the body that Rimbaud had just stabbed the dagger upside down had disappeared, and there was still some dirty blood on the dagger.
The puppeteer stepped back quickly, took out a pistol from his apron pocket, and shot the blade of the dagger.
After a deafening gunshot, a round-headed, round-brained snow-white baby fell down beside the dagger, and slowly emerged from a transparent state.
The baby, which is whiter than the wall, has small bat wings on its back, and a black heart-shaped demon tail extending from its tailbone. It has no facial features, and only one mouth on its entire face, sticking out a scarlet tongue and chewing on it. With the last body part.
The bullet holes on his body healed slowly, he crawled to the edge of the dagger, and licked away the blood on the blade with his small tongue. He licked away the corpse and the blood.
Only then did the puppeteer realize that when he entered the hall, there was no one there, no bloodstains, and even no fingerprints could be found in the place where someone was supposed to be working. It was the monster who ate the corpse and licked the table clean.
—
Lan Bo followed Bai Chunian's call and crawled towards him. Bai Chunian was waiting for him, and waved to him: "My wife, come and help me." He turned around while talking.
"A." Lan Bo stopped suddenly, and saw a snow-white baby lying on Bai Chunian's back. The baby was sleeping peacefully on his shoulder, with a bruised bump on his head.
