Origin of Mars

Chapter 63 Black Water
Youssef sat behind the table, and looked at Disen in front of him with scrutiny. Behind him stood two heavily armed soldiers. Their attire was somewhat different from ordinary soldiers, perhaps because of this difference. An invisible pressure forced Dison to lower his always proud head.

"name?"

"Dison Jabbar."

"age."

"28 is old."

Disson replied word by word, he looked very tired, his originally rebellious eyes suddenly disappeared, and became a little hollow, from time to time he would stare blankly at the wall behind Yousef.

Yousef asked some basic information, confirmed the identity of the man in front of him, and continued to speak.

"You work for a man named Raphael Kate at a headhunting company called EPI, and are responsible for transporting certain valuables from overseas to domestically."

"There is a lot of power in the notorious Johnson gang, second only to gang leader Hashem Duval."

"There are two convictions for manslaughter, but he was successfully released on bail because of some close relationship with the local police station."

Every time Yousef said a word, he raised his cold eyes and glanced at Disson. On the latter's neck was a tattooed skull covered with spikes, but a rose blossomed out from the bottom of the skull. The petals are extremely fine, which shows the superb skills of the tattoo artist.

This is the symbol of every member of Johnson's gang, the higher the status, the more coquettish and beautiful the rose.

Skulls and roses, the strange combination of these irrelevant two things made Yousef feel nauseated inexplicably.

"Yes."

After a long time, Disson nodded, still with a pair of dull eyes, but suddenly smiled: "Sir, you are right."

Disson's tone made the two special soldiers behind him narrow their eyes slightly, but Youssef glanced at them, and put a document with a dazzling red logo in his hand in front of Disson's eyes.

"I have all your information here."

"I can even find out which hospital you were born in. You have a sister who is studying at the University of Texas. She is five years younger than you. You shot your asshole father a few years ago. , buried him in the backyard, your mother has long since abandoned you, and gone off with a charming photographer."

Yousef crossed his palms, his tone was flat, as if he was expounding on the most common things, and he looked at Disson without any fear:

"If I insist on dealing with you, you will be hanged this afternoon."

"Your sister may never receive a sum of money on the seventh of every month."

Disson's eyes finally moved a little, and a trace of murderousness crawled out from the depths of his pupils like a hibernating snake waking up.

But this cruelty only lasted for a short moment, and his reason told him that the identity of the officer in front of him was not simple.

The always haughty Cohen turned into a nodding and tail-wagging pug after seeing him.

Followed by them were soldiers one after another. These people were completely different from the idiots in the police station. The eyes of these guys were like hungry wolves.

If you dare to show your wounds in front of them, the only ending is to ruthlessly tear them apart.

So Deason chose to compromise and was brought here.

"Sir, what exactly do you want to know?"

Dison straightened up slightly, showing a rogue-like smile habitually.

"It's easy, just start from scratch."

Yousef took back the document in front of him, "From the appearance of that monster, I don't want any lies."

"I don't need to lie about that monster, sir."

Disson's face suddenly changed, and his body shook subconsciously, as if a Christian had heard some blasphemy words.

"Where did it come from?"

"In the forest."

Disson licked his lips, "We were unloading there, and it suddenly rushed out from the bushes on the side, and cut open the body of one of my subordinates in an instant."

"Do you remember what it looked like?"

Yousef narrowed his eyes. "I mean, before its head was blown off."

"That's a human skeleton, sir."

Disson replied decisively, "It is parasitic with strips of black substance like vines. Before it eats metal, I can even see the surface of the bone that is not covered."

"Eating metal?"

"Yes, it frantically ingested any metal products it could obtain on the street, swallowing them into its stomach like chewing a sandwich, and then the dark vines began to grow continuously, wrapping it around its body. It's getting tighter."

"What were you doing then?"

"I hid in a house and looked at it through the window. This ghost thing doesn't seem to have any sense of positioning. It just shreds what it can grasp by instinct."

Deason did not lie, he stared Yousef in the eyes and said seriously.

"Sir, what the hell is that?"

"Some kind of mutated creature, this is the second time it has appeared."

Disson's answer won him a little favor in Yousef's heart, and Yousef didn't want to hide anything, so he told Disson truthfully.

"Mutated organisms, nuclear leak? Or the product of some biological experiment?"

Disson seemed eager to know the answer, and there was unprecedented sadness in his eyes.

"Sir, it killed more than half of my brothers. They were even talking about where to go for a drink a second ago, and now they can't even spell the corpse."

"Aren't you supposed to be familiar with these experiences?"

Without looking up, Yousef was writing something down in a report.

"They're fucking real people!! That monster was made!! It's something you made!! So you're trying to gag me right now?!"

Disson suddenly thought of a terrible fact, stood up suddenly, and roared at Yousef, the veins on his neck bulged, and the strange skull squirmed along the skin, as if he had come to life.

Two strong soldiers behind him immediately stepped forward and brutally pushed Dison back onto the chair, but Disson was still struggling crazily. One of the soldiers simply grabbed him by the neck and pinned Disson to the table.

"A similar monster appeared in a research center and killed four researchers in a matter of seconds. Compared to them, you and your evil minions are not even as good as a finger of theirs. heads, but they died anyway, and they may do a lot for the country in the future, and you."

Yousef stared into Dyson's eyes and sneered, "It's just some moths doing illegal activities."

"Haha. Those high-sounding words again."

With one arm pinned behind his back, and his cheek pressed against the cold table, he was laughing loudly: "So innocent people deserve to die!! Only useful people are worthy of living, fucking fart !! That monster killed at least a hundred people in the town! If it wasn’t something you created, why don’t you tell me which sci-fi movie it is from an alien?!”

Yusef fell silent suddenly.

He was too lazy to answer such stupid questions from Deason.

He himself really couldn't explain the complex relationship behind it.

"Let him go."

Yusef said suddenly.

Disson was still struggling, but the soldier did not let go.

"Let him go."

Youssef repeated, put down the pen in his hand, the soldier finally let go of his hand, Disson shook his hand like a spring, rubbed his painful neck, and the viciousness in his eyes had been unscrupulously released , like a mad wild dog.

"I can only tell you two things. First, this monster was not created by us. On the contrary, it does not belong to this planet at all; second, you need to sign some regulations with us to ensure that you will not use it Tell this story, and you will get a good enough hush money."

Yousef suddenly moved his face closer, "I know what you are thinking, you are not qualified to negotiate with us, once you violate the regulations, I will immediately take corresponding measures, understand?"

"What about the others? Almost everyone in that village saw this monster!"

"It's the same, everyone is the same, you only need to worry about yourself."

A few minutes later, until the fierceness in Disson's eyes gradually subsided, Youssef stopped the pen in his hand and said:
"This is the end, we will find you again if necessary."

Afterwards, he returned to a gentle posture, tilted his head slightly, and asked two soldiers to take him out.

Disson didn't resist, but obediently left the narrow room under the escort of two soldiers.

Then the lights on both sides suddenly turned on one after another, illuminating the researchers in white standing behind the special one-way glass on one side.

They stood there from the beginning of the interrogation and watched the whole process.

"How about it?"

Yousef stood up, put away the documents on the desktop, left the temporary interrogation room, came behind the glass, and asked the researchers.

"The mental state is good, and nothing abnormal was found. On the contrary, he is very awake."

said one researcher.

"Where's the monster's body?"

Yusef suddenly asked.

"In the laboratory on the other side, this corpse sample is even more incredible, Mr. Yousef."

An older professor looked a little excited and said to Yousef.

"What do you mean?"

"You come with me."

The professor put away the materials in his hand, guided Yousef out of the observation room, and came to the laboratory where the monster's corpse was stored together with several researchers.

Researchers are coming and going around it, the huge body is full of instruments, some blood and pieces of meat cannot be wiped off, and it already emits a slightly stinky smell.

"This corpse is the same as last time. The black embryos all over the body are dying at almost the same rate, so you will see these black liquids, which are the remains left by those embryos."

The professor carefully lifted the white cloth that covered the upper part of the corpse, fully showing this devil-like body in front of Yousef's eyes.

Its head has been completely smashed by a submachine gun filled with special armor-piercing bullets, and there are some remnants of black tissue hanging around its neck.

Yousef took a step back resignedly, his chest heaving slightly. He had seen many miserable corpses, but none were as terrifying as this monster.

This is a strange feeling that is extremely difficult to describe. Yousef can hardly imagine that such a creature can actually exist in the real world.

It has a height of about [-] meters, and even the largest dissection bed can't accommodate its huge body.

The pitch-black jelly is intertwined and wrapped together like tough muscle tissue, like a parasitic plant growing wildly, and the clinging objects are the bones deep in the jelly.

"Compared with the first sample, the reference value of this corpse is obviously much higher. First of all, we can roughly confirm that this is a very peculiar parasite, which can attach to a specific object, such as after the rain. grow like weeds."

The professor handed Yousef a report on the experimental table, and continued: "We found a large amount of metal elements in the body of the first monster, and when the black gelatin on its surface completely dissipated, we finally learned its origin. What is the source of dependency."

"Is it an iron platform??"

Yousef couldn't believe his eyes and murmured.

"Yes, Mr. Youssef, it is an iron platform about one meter high. These black substances implant something into these metal bodies, like injecting liquid into the veins of the human body. After a while In the same way, these liquids will spread to every corner of the human body; similarly, this substance actually transforms lifeless metal into tissues similar to limbs!"

The professor's words took Yousef's attention away from the huge body.

The assistant next to him opened a liquid nitrogen storage cabinet and took out a ten-inch square laboratory dish with heavy gloves.

The dense white mist dissipated, and Yousef quickly saw its appearance.

It is a strip of about tens of centimeters, with the unique light of metal flowing on the surface, but it presents a strange texture like flesh and blood, with black veins all over it, like a torso wrapped in blood vessels .

"Mr. Yousef, this is the part we took out from the first corpse. Not only does it have activity, it even has a part of neuron tissue after experimental tests."

In order to verify his statement, the professor asked his assistant to put the square experimental dish on the table, picked up the detection clip on the side, and gently touched these black blood vessels.

The instrument screen on the side suddenly burst into strange curves.

"Could it be its brain?"

Yousef felt a chill in his palm, and suddenly put forward his own idea.

"It's more like a nerve center that controls instinctive actions. It doesn't seem to have evolved an advanced organ like the brain."

The professor asked the assistant to return the container to the liquid nitrogen: "In short, this monster completely disassembled the iron frame and used some special substance to turn it into a part of its own body."

"It's loose to use parasitism to describe their behavior."

"Because parasitism specifically refers to two organisms living together, one benefits and the other suffers, and the latter provides nutrients and a place to live for the former. This is a relationship discussed from the perspective of bacteria, viruses, fungi, or protozoa."

"but"

The professor suddenly paused, and seemed to muster up a lot of courage before he said: "These black substances obviously don't belong to any category. From the birth of Blue Star to the present, it doesn't belong here at all."

These words lowered the temperature in the laboratory quite a bit, as if someone had turned on the liquid nitrogen injector, Yousef only felt cold all over his body, and even his brain almost stopped thinking.

"So this is an alien creature? That black powder produced these monsters?"

After a long time, Yusef spoke slowly.

"The high probability is that according to all the current information and our inference, the illegal organization named AORC may have some relationship with these black substances."

The professor replied.

"You mean the cult?"

Yousef's nerves trembled, as if thinking of something, his voice suddenly became louder.

"Yes, that wooden box. The black matter we obtained in the basement is most likely the product obtained from this wooden box. According to the data, that wooden box used to be the first black oval hollow sphere. Several dead people probably accidentally smashed the wooden box and the sphere, and some kind of substance contained in the interlayer reacted with the air, producing a horrible poisonous gas, but we still can't find out exactly what kind of substance would cause this effect. Violent reaction."

"And Mr. Yousef, you know that a certain surveillance video in that storage room was completely deleted, and after that, it was the time that monster appeared."

The professor looked up at him, and said slowly: "I think there are members of the AORC organization in the Yarudel Research Base, and they may know that these black substances can create unimaginable monsters."

Yousef shuddered, suddenly realizing that he had overlooked a very crucial detail.

AORC's involved list has not yet been sorted out completely. It is like the root system of a giant tree, which has spread to every corner.

This was something Yousef could never have imagined. How could such an illogical cult attract so many people?
"We have deciphered their so-called "divine book", which is a history of epochs recorded in Mayan script. It started with a sacrificial activity 2500 years ago. It has been recorded for nearly tens of millions of years."

As the professor said, he took out an unbound document from the shelf beside him, "Some of the materials that were sorted out just yesterday were intended to be handed over to you today."

Yousef took the document and did not read it immediately, but suddenly asked:

"I remember that the "divine book" is not that big. Why is there such a large span of years? Two million years ago. Didn't human beings just be born?"

"Yes, we have been translating forward until we reach the beginning of the history of this era."

The professor took a glass of water from his assistant.Clearing their throats, they wanted to tell Yousef about their astonishing discovery:
"It records that this world was originally a chaotic and irregular sphere, and there were countless wild, icy huge rocks floating in the sphere. The world was submerged, and this process lasted for tens of millions of years. During this time, the world was dead, without any air, and no life could be born in the stagnant water.

"Until one day God descended, it divided the world into two, just like spreading out a book, the world became a plane, rocks sank into the ground and became high mountains, black water was endowed with vitality by God, Flowing again, galloping between sky and earth."

"Afterwards, God unleashed more miracles on this world. Lightning struck the primordial ocean, and the first life, like fireflies, flickered in the chaotic sea. After a long time, they opened their curious and fearful eyes to observe The world, touching the earth with its large scaly feet."

"Is this depicting a certain kind of giant beast? At that time, there should only be dinosaurs on the entire planet, and no humans."

The professor's words were like a poem, and Yousef could not imagine that it was something that the scantily clad Mayans could write.

"Yes, our guess is also a dinosaur. About 500 million years ago, the first dinosaur was born, which roughly matches the timeline in this divine book."

The professor nodded, and continued: "The "god" in the Mayan population created this world and created all creatures before the dinosaurs. This is nonsense and completely violates the theory of evolution we follow."

"I wonder how these Mayans calculated so much information through the so-called astronomical calendar?"

Yusef asked.

"Yes, their astronomical calendar is indeed a miracle from a certain point of view, but due to the massacre and destruction of the colonists, the remains of many Mayan tribes are showing a dilapidated scene"

The professor shook his head, showing regret.

"Please go on, Professor Hahn."

Yousef stretched out his hand to signal him to continue. The latter sorted out his thoughts and said:

"Later, due to the birth of countless lives, conflicts began to appear. Powerful monsters devoured weak creatures. God began to warn them with tsunamis and earthquakes, but they only knew that their stupid brains that eat and reproduce did not understand these things at all. They still went their own way. God Completely angry, he spread his malice to the clear water, and the viscous black water reappeared. It gave birth to countless terrifying monsters. These monsters cleaned up the whole world in the name of God. All living beings were destroyed."

"It does sound like some kind of unsubstantiated theological claim."

Yousef smiled disdainfully and shook his head: "So here, the dinosaurs became extinct, and then humans were born."

"Yes, humans were born, but gods suddenly disappeared, leaving only the black water that once destroyed the world as a warning. If humans angered gods again, these black waters would completely destroy the entire world. Up to here, God The record is over, and the front is full of irrelevant sacrifices."

"Black water."

Yousef suddenly caught some sensitive words. He glanced at this lifeless and strange corpse and thought of something.

"What does this black water refer to?"

"The Mayans believed that this black water was something left by the gods, something that could change the world, so they stored it in a wooden box, because these black substances would only devour and parasitize substances such as metals. "

"wrong!"

Yousef caught the loophole in Professor Hahn's words, and suddenly looked at the corpse beside him: "This is clearly a human skeleton?!"

"Yes, this is the skeleton of a Mayan priest who has existed for thousands of years. They are keen to eat with tableware coated with mineral dyes, and even drink a mixture of stone powder and tree sap directly."

At this time, Professor Hahn's expression was a bit complicated, "Their bones are a natural metal bracket, enough to make this black water grow again."

"AORC is well aware of that."

"This second monster may represent that they have already started to act."
