Sleeping Mountains, northwest corner.
A building that is mostly embedded in the mountain.
The building is huge in size, with four regular and wide areas, as well as a heavily fortified security system, energy system, and even an independent ecosystem to a certain extent, as well as the most advanced experimental area in the world.. On the west side, there is a corridor with a strong sense of technology, which is decorated with high-strength new glass materials on all sides, connecting several rooms with soft lighting.
One side of the room is made of transparent glass, and the decoration inside is also extremely simple.
There is only a plastic table connected to the ground and a suspended bed extending from the wall.
There is a bathroom attached, which even has a smart toilet.
Crimson Moon Research Institute is the leader among the second generation Research Institute, and is also a traitor. He once planned the "Escape Laboratory" incident, also founded Crimson Moon Orphanage, and personally formulated seven trials for Lu Xin, Wang Jingyun, here it is.
He wears simple Zhongshan suit, black-rimmed glasses, and a crew cut.
From the outside, this is a person who looks a bit old-school and has no other characteristics.
He sat quietly on the plastic bed, placed his hands on the table in front of him with his fingers crossed, and kept doing this for a long time.
His eyes seemed to have lost focus and he was thinking seriously.
Next door to him, No. 7 of Crimson Moon Orphanage was slumped on the plastic bed, punching the wall from time to time, looking extremely agitated.
This was the first time she had been locked up, and she was locked up with no hope of escape.
As a user with the ability Ghost-type, this is simply a shame.
Ghost-type's espers can originally be regarded as the freest and possess the strongest ability to escape.
I should be able to become anyone in the blink of an eye and stay away from any dangerous place.
After all, you can't even shut up a person's brain, let alone such a narrow room like a prison?
But she was desperate.
Because when she was held at gunpoint outside Qinggang City and was about to bring them back, she was looking for a chance to escape.
Logically speaking, it is very simple. Either kill the researcher directly, or directly subdue him with ability or force and ask for the secret.
Then discuss with Old Director to see what to do next.
In such a long journey, no matter how you look at it, you should find more than one opportunity.
But no.
At first, she didn't get instructions from Old Director and wasn't sure what to do, so she hesitated and didn't decide to resist.
But soon, she discovered that she had no chance to resist.
You can't escape?
He and Old Director were actually brought all the way back and locked in a room?
Even now, No. 7 can't believe it.
Looking back carefully, she also found that her feelings for the other party were very strange.
On the one hand, I feel that the opponent is very weak, and I seem to be able to find seven or eight opportunities to deal with the opponent every minute.
But in fact, the other person always has a temperament that looks ordinary but is unpredictable. Not only was there no way for me to directly occupy his body, any of my thoughts and attack methods were discovered by the other party in advance.
Then he stopped him as if nothing had happened, allowing himself to miss opportunities again and again.
For example, I was slightly tempted and wanted to walk to the right side of his body and grab the gun when he was not prepared.
The other party suddenly turned around and smiled at him, pulled out the gun in front of him, and then inserted it into his left pocket.
For example, when I had a slight thought and wanted to push the other person off the cliff, he suddenly put his arm around Old Director's shoulders and looked back at him.
For example, while resting on the roadside, I possessed the body of a roadside shepherd with my ability, and when I was about to shoot him with a shotgun, I found that he suddenly turned his head and smiled at me, holding a strange playing card in his hand. It seemed that as long as he thought about it, the playing card would be thrown over. But I actually felt fear in my heart and didn't dare to take action.
That feeling is hard to describe.
But the feeling of being seen through was so clear that it always enveloped me.
So, I missed opportunities again and again until I was brought to this place.
But now, she has been locked up here. Although her abilities have not been suppressed, there is no possibility of leaving.
Now she has become extremely irritable and has lost all patience.
She was annoyed and anxious, and she even wanted to know what Old Director next door was thinking.
Would he blame himself for not taking the chance, would he be disappointed in himself for not being able to take him away?
She had always cared about these things, but she couldn't ask about them.
In the cell on the other side, Old Director was silent for a long time without any sound.
"So, it's just the container?"
Wang Jingyun Old Director also sat quietly for a long time before sighing slightly.
The first-generation researcher was very trustworthy, and after bringing him back, he told him a lot of things.
Of course, their main purpose and core plan were not stated.
But what he was most concerned about, the information about the "tyrant", had been revealed.
And he was very tolerant and allowed himself to think about it for a while before deciding whether to join their research and complete the experiment together.
It was obvious that a generation of researchers admired him.
Of course, it is also possible that she is afraid of him.
After all, from the words of these researchers, it can be heard that the experiments he conducted on the tyrants have repeatedly reached the tolerance limit of a generation of researchers, especially the two incidents of the escaped laboratory and the mysterious explosion in the orphanage...
One puts the tyrant out of their sight.
The other one almost caused the tyrant to lose its containment function.
Therefore, according to the words of a generation of researchers, we really don't dare to let him continue to fool around outside.
Nonsense...
That's the word they used.
Wang Jingyun, or Old Director, recalling their descriptions, I couldn't help but smile...
"Professor Wang, it's time to eat..."
There was a voice outside, and a man who looked young came to the room, or rather outside the cell.
His surname is Yao and he is in his thirties. It was he who brought Old Director and No. 7 back here.
He was holding a very clean glass tray in his hand, with two bowls of noodles in clear soup and water on it.
On the noodles that are cooked to perfection, there are two slices of bright red lunch meat, a poached egg, and chopped chives sprinkled on top.
Simple, but with a sense of sophistication and care.
"Sorry, the food here is always very simple."
He said to Old Director a little apologetically, "We usually eat special compressed biscuits and water as the main food. The two bowls of noodles I'm making for you now are just considering that you may have just arrived here and are not used to it, so I specially asked the restaurant to prepare them."
As he spoke, he put the two bowls of noodles into the small partition drawer on the glass and pushed them inside.
"Very good."
Old Director smiled and took the meal, saying, "Where can I find good food in the wilderness? Sweet potatoes and potatoes can last a day."
It seemed like he actually planned to enjoy this bowl of noodles.
On the other side, No. 7 knocked over the noodle bowl angrily, and the soup immediately spilled all over the floor.
"Yes, there are always too many difficulties in reality."
The researcher glanced at room No. 7, shook his head without saying anything, and then continued to look at Old Director.
He said softly, "However, I should apologize to you. Not only me, but the chief and the bishop also meant this. We shouldn't have locked you up originally. It's just that they have important things to do and have left for the time being. We can only aggrieve you first."
"Perhaps, after they come back and you agree to join us, everything will be much better."
"..."
Old Director looked at him and suddenly smiled, "In what year did you join?"
The researcher was slightly startled and said with a smile, "Seven years ago, we all learned from the chief and the bishop."
"The two of them are great, but they also need some assistants to help. Therefore, through Spades Office, they search for suitable candidates from various places. After training, if they are suitable, they will be sent here. I am one of them..."
"..."
"It's very simple to say, but if you can be favored by them, you must be a very talented person."
Old Director looked at him with a smile, and while eating noodles calmly, he said, "Talents are rare in the wilderness world."
"You must have put in a lot of effort to educate yourself in such a chaotic world and grow up to be noticed by a generation of researchers."
"..."
"No, no, no, my efforts are nothing..."
He seemed to be very happy to be praised by an outstanding second-generation researcher like Old Director.
He shook his hand hurriedly, feeling somewhat flattered.
Whether it was what I saw doing when I was investigating this outstanding second-generation researcher, or the results of his research. It was still the respect the chief researcher had for him after being brought here. This made the young researcher realize how courageous and amazing the old man in front of him, who seemed rigid and silent, was. I admire him from the bottom of my heart.
Therefore, being praised by him is indeed a rare thing for me.
However, Old Director looked at him looking a little happy, finished eating the last noodle, and then slowly put down his chopsticks.
He looked up at him gently and said, "It's a pity that such a talented person dies."
"..."
"Huh?"
The researcher's expression changed and he stood up suddenly.
His face was solemn, and he first took a serious look at Old Director to make sure that he was not making any small moves, and then felt slightly relieved.
He whispered, "Professor Wang, you have been very quiet along the way."
"I hope that once you get here, you can continue to have that collaborative attitude."
"After all, you are a professional. You should be able to see that we have the best protective measures in the world here. Even the ultimate power cannot easily invade. What's more, if you behave abnormally, I will..."
"..."
He didn't say the next words, but his attitude was already clear.
"But I'm not going to stay here anymore."
Old Director looked at him quietly, smiled and said, "In addition, my thinking has also come to fruition."
"I have no intention of joining your experiments."
"To be honest, I care more about my student's trial than your crazy dream."
"The sixth trial I arranged for him, Trial of Heart, must have started."
"..."
"You..."
The researcher's expression changed drastically, and he even couldn't help but take a step back.
His heart was trembling slightly. Looking at this old man who was locked up in the highest level prison, he couldn't control himself.
It was obvious that the old man had been scanned before he was imprisoned, and there were no parasites on him.
He himself is an ordinary person.
In terms of danger, the Ghost-type ability user in the prison next to him is much more dangerous than him.
However, at this moment, he felt extremely nervous and could not control himself from panic.
He even wanted to sound the alarm directly because of such words.
"Pa..."
In another prison, there was suddenly a violent noise. It was No. 7 who was losing his temper just now.
She rushed to the door of the glass room, gasping nervously and with surprise, and tried hard to look in the direction of Old Director. Although there was a wall blocking her and she could not see anything, it did not affect her expectations and surprise at this time, the surprise of finally being able to escape.
In their anticipation and fear, Old Director slowly pushed the bowl aside, and then slowly stood up.
"The face is very nice, and you are also a very nice young man."
"What a pity."
"..."
"You..."
The young researcher's expression suddenly changed. "You... you want to kill me?"
"No..."
Old Director shook his head slowly, then looked at him with some regret, and said softly, "You are already dead."
"On the way here."
"..."
"Uh-huh!"
An indescribable fear suddenly overwhelmed the young researcher's body.
He could no longer stand the pressure brought upon him by the obviously ordinary old man in front of him and the shuddering fear in his words. His Adam's apple rolled and the muscles on his face twitched. Suddenly, he flew up, stretched out his arms vigorously, and swatted at the nearest red alarm button less than three meters away from him. He could see it everywhere on the wall.
He wanted to warn everyone immediately.
Although until now, he is still not sure whether what the old man said is true or if he is just trying to scare him.
But he wasn't prepared to take any chances.
However, just when his palm was about to hit the wall, Old Director in the prison room sighed softly.
"Four Fires..."
"..."
Following his call, which was not loud, sounded.
The young researcher whose palm had reached the red button suddenly became stiff.
It was obvious that his palm was just a little bit close to being able to slap it down and send an alarm to the entire institute.
But there was only such a small distance, but I couldn't take the photo.
He seemed to have no strength... No, it was another will that stopped him.
His eyes were uncontrollable, and in despair, feeling extremely tired, they gradually blurred and closed.
At the same time, his movements suddenly became weird.
The hand that reached for the button slowly retracted it, and with the other hand, it reached the back of his head.
Slowly parting his half-length hair, he saw a face emerging from the dense hair on the back of his head.
It was not very clear at first, but slowly it squeezed out more and more, and became clearer and clearer.
He even started to breathe and smile, and with his distinct facial features, he could already tell the appearance of the owner of this face.
Then he turned his arms and gave a three-finger salute to Old Director in the prison.
The smile was bright, "Hello, teacher."
Old Director stood in the prison cell, smiled at him, nodded slightly, and said, "Open the prison cell."
"Yes!"
The researcher, or Zhang Si huo, began to quickly fumble in his pockets, approaching the cell to operate the system.
Next door, No. 7 was completely shocked.
She looked at the researcher in disbelief, walking and talking with his back turned completely.
It looks full of weirdness, but also has an incomprehensible flexibility.
Especially the face that grew on the back of her head. She knew the owner of this face.
Originally, he was just an ordinary mercenary under Technological Church, a first-level ability user.
There are even people who have failed in some previous actions and are already on the elimination list.
However, I don't know why, but at some point, I was taken seriously by Old Director.
For a period of time, he kept him with him, and it is said that he secretly gave him some guidance and even reformed him.
During that time, she had never had a good impression of this guy.
Probably because his profession is the same as mine, and in addition, Old Director pays more attention to him than he does?
However, he only followed Old Director for a while and then disappeared.
The person who went to Kindling City instead of Old Director, and who accompanied Old Director to Qinggang, was still himself.
This guy looks like he's fallen out of favor.
But who would have thought that at this moment, he would actually appear again?
How did he even appear in the body of the young researcher outside the prison cell?
"Tsk..."
The young researcher, or Zhang Si huo, had already found the electronic card in his pocket.
He gently swiped the lock of the cell door, but to his surprise, the door lock did not open.
Only then did he realize that even this researcher did not have the authority to directly open the cell.
From this we can also see the rigor of this generation of researchers.
But Zhang Si huo couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and took out a small laser pointer from another pocket.
Aim at the door lock position and adjust the power to maximum.
With a "chi" sound, the shell of the electronic door lock device, which was mostly covered with tempered glass, had been cut open by him.
Then he roughly pulled out a few wires and collided with each other, causing sparks to burn out a small chip.
The cell door opened immediately, and Old Director slowly walked out of the cell.
Zhang Si huo came to the door of cell No. 7 again and continued to act as he should, while Old Director waited patiently.
Seeing the surprise on No. 7's face, he smiled and explained, "You don't have to be too surprised."
"This generation of researchers and the choices they will make are indeed something we could not have predicted before going to Qinggang."
"However, this does not prevent me from making arrangements earlier."
"I wasn't sure at the time that the person behind No. 9 was a generation of researchers, but I could more or less guess."
"So, when the two of us went to Qinggang, Si Huo was already waiting in secret."
"..."
As he spoke, he even seemed to be comforting No. 7, nodding slightly and saying, "You've done a great job along the way."
"Although he failed to escape in front of this young man or subdue him, it still attracted his attention. It is precisely because he has been focusing on you and me who have always wanted to resist that Four Fires could find the opportunity to pollute him."
"..."
At this moment, No. 7's cell opened, and she rushed over immediately, with veins on her neck exposed, and said loudly:
"You lied to me..."
"..."
Old Director frowned, glanced at her, shook his head and said, "No."
No. 7 was still staring at Old Director, as if there was anger in his heart that he couldn't resolve.
Old Director sighed lightly and said, "Actually, I said that to clear up your doubts and comfort you."
"But if you don't like my comfort, it can be understood as: I am using you."
"Taking advantage of your stupidity and impulsivity."
"This is completely different from lying to you."
"..."
"..."
When No. 7 heard the words, he was stunned for a moment, breathing deeply, but he didn't know how to answer at all.
At this time, Old Director and Zhang Si huo had turned around and walked towards the end of the corridor. Their movements were not urgent, but extremely efficient.
Old Director said, "How many seeds were planted?"
"Only a dozen..."
Zhang Si huo seemed a little ashamed and whispered, "The protection here is too strict."
"They wear high-level protective clothing all day long and only take it off on rare occasions or expose parts that can be contaminated."
"Even so, they will undergo strict mental radiation self-examination at certain intervals."
"I don't dare to plant seeds of consciousness into them casually, for fear that they will be discovered."
"..."
"It doesn't matter."
Old Director chuckled and said, "The powerful thing about your ability is that you can silently curse others' lives and plant your consciousness. The most important thing is that this seed of consciousness is the self-level hidden in the deepest part of the human spirit sea."
"Unless there is a professional, all-round and high-intensity in-depth inspection, no one will find it."
"And it is impossible for any organization to conduct comprehensive and in-depth mental testing and investigation of employees anytime and anywhere."
"This is what I appreciate most about your ability."
"..."
"Huh..."
Zhang Si huo breathed a long sigh of relief, showed No. 7's envious expression of being praised, then shook his head and smiled:
"Thanks to the teacher for this."
"If you hadn't helped me improve, I would have just been a person who kept killing the excess of myself."
"The biggest dream in my heart is just to go back to the wilderness to buy goods..."
"..."
"Your ability was previously classified as a curse, but in fact, it should be called a life virus."
Old Director said calmly, "For any ability, you need to find a suitable way to use it, instead of being troubled by it."
"Okay."
While they were talking, they had already reached the end of the corridor, and outside was the hall of the Generation Research Institute.
Old Director slowly stopped and said, "Tell me, what is their plan?"
"Yes."
Zhang Si huo heard this, his expression was slightly stern, and he immediately said, "According to the teacher's instructions, I was waiting on Blackwater Town's bed. When I found that you did not come back as agreed upon, I immediately divided the troops into two groups. On the one hand, I started to track the teacher's whereabouts."
"On the other hand, I rushed to Eclipse Research Institute immediately."
"I told them the plan you prepared in advance, teacher, and asked them to hand over the core secrets."
"It's true as the teacher said, they were shocked and very wary and unwilling to share the plans they assigned."
"However, they still mentioned the most critical point..."
"..."
As he spoke, he suddenly stopped, but there was subtle spiritual power radiation in the air.
Old Director After a while, he nodded slightly, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face, saying, "Xue Jia, this third-year-old boy..."
"The plan I came up with is quite interesting..."
"..."
At this moment, No. 7, who was almost going crazy because of the secret conversation between Old Director and Zhang Si huo, had a strong sense of rejection. He suddenly couldn't help interrupting their secret conversation and said urgently, "How did you track us?"
"This man takes us through abyss and secret passages. It is impossible to track..."
"..."
"This..."
Facing No. 7's question, Zhang Si huo scratched his head, seeming a little embarrassed.
"It's very simple to implement tracking."
Old Director answered calmly, then turned around, unbuttoned his clothes, and exposed his chest.
No. 7 looked at it and was suddenly surprised.
She saw a meat bag the size of a thumb growing on Old Director's chest.
It looked very ordinary, but now, this meat bag slowly squirmed and squeezed out a face like Zhang Si huo.
It was not until this moment that she suddenly understood.
No wonder Zhang Si huo could still track him all the way when the young researcher was so alert.
No wonder Old Director cooperated so well all the way, appearing very low-key and still able to complete the planned layout.
Old Director, surprisingly, has already been actively contaminated by this guy named Zhang Si huo.
How dare he, an ordinary person like him, use his body to withstand the contamination of a third-stage ability user...
"I really admire the teacher..."
Zhang Si huo seemed a little nervous as he looked at it, and whispered, "Even I couldn't control my abilities before."
"I have no idea when I will die and someone else will take my place."
"Although the teacher taught me how to control and utilize my abilities..."
"But this kind of planting a seed in a person's body, but ensuring that it will not grow and swallow the parasitic consciousness..."
"... This is really the first time!"
"..."
Old Director frowned slightly. "Once you understand the essence, there is nothing to worry about. Just kill him."
"Yes, yes!"
Zhang Si huo nodded nervously, but to outsiders, it looked more like a person, constantly tilting his head back.
Then, the face on the back of his head opened its mouth.
He pulled out a black nail from the tip of his tongue, and then carefully but forcefully inserted it into the face of Old Director's chest. Suddenly, the face twisted in pain, and then, black blood poured out along the wound.
Faintly, it seems that one can hear the scream of a person before death.
"Huh..."
I don't know if there will be any pain during this process, but Old Director didn't even frown.
Zhang Si huo, on the other hand, sighed nervously after finishing this matter.
Then he put away the nail, looked at Old Director again, and said, "Teacher, what should we do next?"
Old Director thought silently as he slowly fastened the buttons.
It felt like only a few seconds passed before he had an idea. He raised his head and asked, "How do you observe this place?"
"Is there any chance we can sabotage Genesis Hard Drive from within?"
"..."
"No."
Zhang Si huo immediately shook his head and said in a very affirmative tone:
"Their defense was so good that there was no chance of breaking him."
"If we want to sneak into the 'The Pit' where Genesis Hard Drive is, I'm afraid we will have been discovered before we even enter the first wall."
"In addition, according to what I read about their memories, even if there is a problem with the program inside, they can fix it quickly."
"Those people, I can only say that they are so meticulous and rigorous in their work!"
"There is no possibility of being invaded..."
"..."
"There must be a chance of invasion, it just depends on the time, but we really don't have time!"
Old Director shook his head slightly, then thought about it for a moment, then shook his head slightly.
"In this case..."
He was silent for a moment, then said with a calm face, "Then send out its coordinates and just blow it up."
"Huh?"
Zhang Si huo was suddenly stunned, and No. 7, who was following behind, was also completely confused.
Old Director said indifferently, "Just do it."
"It makes sense that the most sophisticated and advanced things should be destroyed in the most brutal and brutal ways."
It's been a bit intense lately, and I'm always worried that I can't keep up with my ideas.
But it doesn't matter, the coffee Red Bull is ready, the update cannot be delayed!!
Today I only updated this big chapter, which is the usual two and a half chapters. I hope everyone is satisfied.
Please vote!!
