"It's difficult to explain this issue in a short time."
Facing Lu Xin's answer, everyone who entered Research Institute fell into an extremely depressing atmosphere.
Subconsciously, they wanted to help Lu Xin explain something..
But every time I opened my mouth, I found that the explanation I wanted to give was untenable.
The two doctors, one good at mental power analysis and the other good at contamination logical chain reasoning, were both confused at this time.
After a while, in the dark and deep corridor, Dr. An spoke softly.
Then, she looked up at Lu Xin and whispered, "So, let's continue our investigation mission first..."
"Mr. Single Soldier, are you able to control your emotions and maintain a stable state now?"
"..."
"I..."
Lu Xin reluctantly spoke, only to realize that his voice was hoarse.
He paused, adjusted slightly, then nodded lowly and said, "I can do it."
Even if the uncertainty and suspicion in my heart have reached the extreme, I can only nod at this time.
He scanned the faces of Dr. An and Zhang, Dr. Wang a little feebly. No matter how eager he was, he could not expect them to give him explanations and answers in a short time, because he could not even accurately state this state and feeling.
Therefore, I could only suppress the thoughts surging in my heart and stuff the deck of playing cards back into the drawer.
He himself didn't know why he did this.
Perhaps, I hope that another me will come over in the future and also need to take out this poker card to prove to others?
"Click..."
It wasn't until this thought came to mind clearly that Lu Xin suddenly woke up.
How could I have such strange thoughts?
You have already been here, so why are you still thinking about someone else coming to take away this poker card?
"Then... let's continue..."
Zhang Dr. Wang acted a little frightened by Lu Xin's weird behavior and this depressing environment.
Even a determined researcher couldn't remain calm at this time.
Just like an atheist cannot guarantee that he is not afraid of ghosts.
After all, although there are indeed no ghosts in this world, what if something suddenly appears under the bed?
This mood made them, who were incompatible with each other, quietly come together and almost hug each other.
Only Dr. An stood at the end, completely submerged in the shadows of the corridor.
There were no lights shining directly on her, so her face wasn't visible to anyone.
She just stood quietly in the corridor, waiting for Lu Xin to come out.
The eyes that looked at Lu Xin seemed to be filled with admiration and expectation.
But she didn't make any more noise, just waited quietly.
Lu Xin walked out of the office and gently closed the door, keeping it ajar.
It was as if he subconsciously kept it exactly the same as when he entered it.
They turned on their flashlights, remained vigilant, and continued to move forward.
Points of light swept across this invisible corridor one by one. For a long time, they did not speak.
Just moving forward and looking at it.
I have just seen the environment of these corridors based on the description of the electronic fly.
But now that I have walked in in person, it is still different.
Following the light spot, their eyes swept across the dirty walls, the floor covered with scraps of paper and garbage, the overturned tables and chairs, and the large dry and dark stains. Their noses were always filled with the musty smell of the dark corridor, making them feel drowsy.
You can tell this was a busy working environment.
On the first floor, you can see three broken vending machines, leaning against the wall, standing silently.
The office rooms are also next to each other, and most of them are very small.
Every once in a while, you can still see iron doors embedded in the walls in the corridor, dividing the corridor into different parts.
From these iron gates, it can be seen that this place at that time was not only busy but also unusually strict.
However, now all the iron gates and fences are wide open, like an empty prison where prisoners have escaped.
However, neither Dr. An and others, nor Lu Xin, have the intention to pay attention to these.
Dr. An They tightened their nerves and walked lightly, but their speed increased slightly as they walked in this corridor.
The electronic fly that had scanned the architectural terrain was flying four or five meters in front of them, flashing blue light.
It can not only help them lead the way, but also test some unexpected Mental Pollution for them.
Lu Xin, on the other hand, forcibly resisted the impact of that strange feeling of familiarity on herself.
But in the process of moving forward, a certain episode will suddenly appear, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and memories.
Gradually, more than ten minutes later, they had reached the deepest part of the building.
After forcing a security door open, he saw a corridor leading underground.
Everyone's breathing could not help but become lighter. They knew that down this corridor was the database.
Research Institute What he wants to know most is the secret that has been deliberately buried by a generation of researchers.
The footsteps as they walked down the steps were extremely loud in the cramped and narrow space. When they walked down the stairs and turned left into an open area, everyone's heartbeats became louder again, thrashing and shaking their bodies.
In front of them, a heavy iron door appeared.
This is exactly what Dr. An had expected, the place where the information about "Genesis Hard Drive" was hidden.
There is no way for electronic flies to enter this sealed space, so they can only come here first.
"This..."
Dr. Zhang couldn't help but twist his neck and whispered uncomfortably, "Is this right here?"
He was almost a little uncomfortable. He felt that it was unusual for him to reach such a critical place without a few monsters coming out to stop him.
But Dr. An seems to be more calm than them.
He just glanced briefly, compared the location through the electronic screen on his wrist, and nodded:
"This is it, open it!"
"..."
Seeing that the heavy iron door seemed not to be opened by ordinary manpower, several doctors discussed it and prepared to notify Master Li to let her control these electronic flies and use laser cutting to open the heavy door.
But while they were thinking about this problem, Lu Xin had slowly moved forward.
Both hands held the iron valve firmly, and then slowly pulled it outward. The iron door made a dull friction sound.
Unexpectedly, although the iron door was a little rusty, he opened it smoothly.
The eyes of the two doctors suddenly became a little straight.
But at this moment Lu Xin, an indescribable feeling of loss suddenly welled up in his heart.
Because he was not confident that he could open the iron door just because he saw it, so he stepped forward to try.
When he saw this iron door, he suddenly felt a strong sense of familiarity.
It seemed that he had watched this iron door be opened before, and when it was closed again, it was not locked.
As the iron door opened, his "intuition" was confirmed again.
There was no joy in my heart. Instead, there was a surge of chaos that overwhelmed me in an instant.
"Ah..."
Along with Lu Xin himself, he completely fell into this abnormal sense of fear.
Zhang Dr. Wang nervously raised his flashlight and shined it behind the iron gate.
Suddenly a basin of cold water was poured on my head, and I was disappointed.
Behind the iron door, it looked like a huge information room, but now, there were only empty shelves inside.
Not even half a piece of paper.
So, has the situation you least want to see happen?
You worked so hard to get here, only to find that it had been cleaned up a long time ago and nothing was found?
"No, no..."
But just when they were enveloped in this desperate mood and were about to let out a weak lament, they suddenly heard a confused murmur coming from beside them.
The sound was so sudden that they were startled and turned around hastily.
I saw Lu Xin, who had just opened the iron door, standing next to the iron door, looking helplessly at the surrounding environment.
Except for the spot of light where the flashlight landed, there was only the faint blue light of the electronic fly.
But in his eyes, a pale light was clearly reflected, as if the whole world was bright.
"This is..."
Both doctors took a step back at the same time, slightly alarmed.
"Don't disturb him."
Dr. An suddenly spoke in a low voice and stopped the two of them.
The two doctors were a little puzzled. They turned around quickly and saw Dr. An staring at Lu Xin with an unusually serious expression.
She didn't seem to be affected at all by the fact that the database was empty and the entire investigation mission failed. Instead, her entire mind fell on Lu Xin. Compared to others, it seemed that she was only at this moment worried about whether the mission could be completed.
"Yes..."
Under their tense gaze, Lu Xin murmured and suddenly turned around, "There are still some..."
"There is still a message left..."
"..."
As he spoke, he quickly turned around and walked quickly towards a corridor on the left.
The flashlight didn't even hit him, but he was walking so fast that he couldn't even see his fingers.
"Quick, keep up..."
Dr. An was extremely nervous and said anxiously in a lowered voice.
Lu Xin didn't know how Dr. An and the others behaved, but at the moment they opened the iron door, their familiarity with the building and the surrounding area reached an extreme level, and they even felt like they couldn't distinguish between memory and reality.
For example, he clearly knew that he, Dr. An and others entered the dark building to investigate with a flashlight after Research Institute had been abandoned. But on the other hand, he was so deeply immersed in memories that he had hallucinations before his eyes.
He saw that the place was brightly lit and crowded with people. It was the busiest time for Research Institute.
A strong attraction made him have an impulse. Suddenly he didn't want to think about everything and strode towards a place.
The familiarity with this building made him turn the corner without hesitation and move quickly in this maze-like underground space, as if he had lived in this Research Institute for many years, without any need to deliberately think about it.
He didn't know how long he had been spinning, but he suddenly felt his heart relax slightly.
Looking closely, he found that he had come to the end of a long corridor and opened a door that was ajar.
At this moment, a sensation like an electric current surged into his brain.
He heard the buzzing sound of incandescent lights in his ears, and a strong sense of psychedelia distorted his vision and perception.
He saw a skeleton lying on the ground.
The skeleton was already close to decay and was covered with an unknown black substance.
The white coat on his body had long since rotted and turned into dirty cloth, clinging tightly to the bones.
On top of the skeleton, there was also a tattered certificate covered in blood. It was lightly polished and the writing on it was revealed.
Crimson Moon Research Institute
High dimensional life research project
Psychological counselor: Bi Zaizhi
Lu Xin gently tapped his forehead, making a thumping sound.
He suddenly felt that this scene was not only familiar, but had also appeared in his memory.
That was when I was still in Qinggang, when I was dealing with a Mental Monster that was good at putting people into nightmares, I was accidentally dragged into a nightmare by it. In that nightmare, I saw this corridor and this skeleton.
He even knew what was ahead...
Thinking like this, Lu Xin raised his head, and sure enough, he found a metal shelf lying on the ground in front of him, with scattered black pills.
A row of prison-like wards, and three doors at the end.
