Mysterious creature sightings

I don’t know if Kyle adheres to the popular principle of “pork that is not tense is good pork”, but he didn’t rush to study her, and even took her around the research base out of kindness and shared his property with the spoils. Layout-like.

"Relax, just think that this is the special coordination office of the external business section. What we do is good for everyone."

"Don't believe it? Poor people give money, and we help with research and provide drugs and methods that can treat them. Doesn't this sound normal? At least it is more credible than the lie that mediators only observe and only contain, right? It's like Zhuang’s Pharmaceuticals.”

Ling Jiangyue's attention was attracted by the familiar words, and her eyelids trembled.

Kyle noticed it, glanced at Lain behind him, and continued walking inside with the others.

"Do you know how we brought you out?"

"Is that Zhuang Cheng?" She spoke softly, her voice still trembling, "His female companion is your accomplice."

"That's really smart," Kyle praised nonchalantly, "He is also a medicine seeker. Do you remember Xin Wen and Xin Zhi? You must remember that a pair of twins with an inquiring spirit actually found a specific neurotoxin. .”

"What medicine is Zhuang Cheng asking for? What does it have to do with neurotoxins?" she asked blankly.

Kyle: "Hallucinogens, poor legitimate children. After growing up for more than ten years, an illegitimate child older than him suddenly appeared. It's so pitiful. I hate it so much that I need this kind of thing to relieve my mood. But he is very ambitious, Mr. Zhuang The pharmaceutical company once produced Chu Qing, and we are somewhat interested in it, so we plan to cooperate."

He clicked on a door next to the corridor, and the color on it faded, revealing the scene behind the transparent screen.

A man wearing single clothes was so cold in the cold room that his hair was frozen, but he didn't tremble at all and his expression was very calm.

"——This is it, a treatment drug for schizophrenia patients. The original experimental subjects were Xin Wen and Xinzhi, but unfortunately, they died. It was really an inopportune time to die."

He sighed so sincerely that it made people feel creepy.

"You use people to conduct experiments, and then sell the experimental results to others..." Her voice was trembling, as if she couldn't believe it.

Kyle: "Have you never heard of the 80-20 rule? Eighty percent of the people in this world are destined to sacrifice for the other twenty percent. Lin Zheng and the others are the eighty percent. , it’s just that they don’t feel it themselves. And we are just striving not to do the 80%.”

Seeing her expression of rejection and disapproval, Kyle chuckled: "Open your eyes and see the world, Miss Pheromone, you just don't know how wonderful the word transaction is, otherwise you will be like Zhuang Cheng, pretending to struggle for a long time, and finally do it Make a decision that was made from the beginning.”

"Oh, speaking of which, he is really good and helped us a lot. If we hadn't come into contact with him, we wouldn't have known so much about you. Thanks to him, he can help take the blame. A cautious person like Lin Zheng must It will be discovered that he played a role in this matter, and then it will be Zhuang Cheng’s turn to make a choice.”

"What choice?"

"Zhuang's Pharmaceuticals, I'm very interested. Now I suspect that Ms. Chu Qing must have left something on you to make you so special, so -"

He opened the door to the innermost laboratory and pushed her in.

"I need to do some research on you."

Ling Jiangyue fell to the ground. When he looked up, he saw a panoramic floor-to-ceiling window on the opposite side. The window outside the window was not a natural scenery, but a closed experimental space.

Yu Jing, whom I haven't seen for a while, seems to have grown on the wall. His body is rotting, and his eye sockets are filled with fungal fruiting bodies like peanut buds, which is terrifying.

She held her chest and endured it again and again, but still couldn't hold back two retching sounds.

So fucking disgusting.

Kyle was not surprised when he saw her like that and continued to draw the liquid from a small bottle. “Do you feel sick? You should be familiar with it.”

The liquid in the syringe smelled familiar. Ling Jiangyue looked at the possible protective systems in this laboratory and asked in a trembling voice, "Why are you studying this fungus? To take revenge on society?"

"Of course not. As I said, we are here to benefit mankind." Kyle motioned to Yu Jing's body, "Didn't Lin Zheng realize how special this mutated fungus is?"

"Cut off the connection to the brain and directly control the muscles. Do you know how valuable this is? Someone offered a high price of more than one billion for a chance to regain control of the limbs. This fungus is his chance. Unfortunately, there has been no progress in research."

Ling Jiangyue: "Then you want me to help you, so you use human life as a condition to force the special coordination office and me to study the antidote day and night?"

Kyle seemed unable to hear her question and continued to do what he was doing: "Original cordyceps hemiformis can only infect ants and not humans, but Qijuqi helped with streptococci and opened up the human body's parasitic channel. , just right for that buyer’s needs.”

"Because he is so suitable, even if he suffers various blows during the experiment, his reaction is not to give up, but to increase his efforts to cooperate with us."

How to cooperate?

The reason why humans can study Ophiocordyceps hemiformis is because it only parasitizes ants and is not dangerous to humans.

But now that the mutant strain can parasitize humans, who dares to get close? You can only fill it in with your life.

"Research has made progress, but a new problem emerged half a year ago - Streptococcus is too cunning. It can copy the genetic material of other bacteria and viruses anytime and anywhere. If we want to control it to cooperate with fungi according to our ideas, it is too difficult. Disaster."

"We want them to control the limbs, but they prefer the eyes and brainstem. No matter how we test or refine the ratio, it doesn't work. It seems that they have formed a fixed cooperation route."

"Microorganisms can also communicate with each other, but we can't translate it. But you can."

After saying this, he finally carefully sucked all the liquid in the small bottle into the syringe and raised his chin towards Lain.

Lain grabbed Ling Jiangyue and dragged her to the restraint bed. The force was so strong that she couldn't break free. She could only watch as her hands and feet were tied tightly with the restraints.

Then Kyle held the needle close to her, the tip of the needle reflecting the cold light under the shadowless lamp.

"What are you going to inject me with?" she asked, trying to avoid the needle.

Kyle: "som3, a new hallucinogen, can help you better 'see' the movement of fungi in your body later."

As she spoke, the tip of the needle was about to prick her skin. Ling Jiangyue's body began to tremble again, this time it was a real reaction, as if she was under stress, and she suddenly struggled even harder, so much that the entire restraint bed was moving.

It's like I have to struggle out the fear I had ten years ago.

"No...I don't want the injection! Let me go, please let me go, I'm scared!"

Kyle "tsk", as if he thought her reaction was too great, and asked Lain to hold her down, ignoring her cries, and slowly injected the entire injection of hallucinogen into her body.

The transparent liquid was pushed into her blood vessels. Ling Jiangyue's pupils were dilated and she looked at the ceiling. In a trance, she was back to when she was eight years old. There was a figure beside her and said -

"This is mescaline, it makes you see a more beautiful world."

From the moment the world was distorted, her name was no longer Ling Jiangyue, but No. 7. Every bit of her pain was given value by research.

It’s a new year! May all your wishes come true in 2024. May you be safe and healthy and eat delicious food! Let’s continue to accompany each other in the new year!
