The Fallen Merman - Chap 235
After crossing the landslide with a width of about 12 meters, they were far away from the lights in the detection area, and they returned to darkness.
In the dim light, the puppet master could still clearly see Bai Chunian’s state at this time. He was lying on the ground. Although he put his hands around Rimbaud and made a protective gesture, his ear mimicry was uncontrollably under the mental shock. Appearing, the lion’s ear is close to the head, the pupils are lax, and the mouth is slightly open and panting quickly, which is a manifestation of stress.
The only thing nearby that might cause a stressful shock to him is the puppeteer looking around. In the dim environment, all he can see is a flashing shadow in the corner, a white rat for experimental research. Puppeteers deal with them every day until they graduate from medical school.
Seeing his embarrassed appearance, the puppet master could not laugh. He observed that Rimbaud’s familiar movements and expressions when he caressed and comforted Bai Chunian, which seemed to be a habit formed many years ago.
Lan Bo was indifferent to others, knelt down on the ground, and pulled Xiao Bai into his arms. Bai Chunian buried his head and hugged him for a while, then quickly picked up his energy, acting as if nothing had happened, raised his hand to tuck up Lan Bo’s hair, Bite off the little blue plastic fish rubber band on his wrist and tie him into a tug at the back of his head.
“I’m fine, I just fell and I’m a little confused.” Bai Chunian’s face and Lan Bo’s cheeks were very close, occasionally rubbing against each other.
“Really. I picked up something, let’s take a look.” The footsteps stopped near them, the puppet master leaned down slightly, and took a metal object in his hand. When he let go, the object fell. When he came down, he landed at Bai Chunian’s feet with a clanging sound.
Hearing the sound, Bai Chunian turned his head to look, and his pupils shrank immediately, fluffing up and flying off the ground like a severely frightened cat.
Rimbaud was frightened by his sudden reaction, and looked back at the thing that fell on the ground. It was a medical pliers that was much larger than the normal model, to be precise, a beast armor puller.
“The shadows left in the juvenile period will form a conditioned reflex that lasts for a long time.” The puppeteer narrated flatly, “Just a little test, whether the degree of relatives of the experimental subject is inversely proportional to the injury suffered in childhood, it does not seem to be the case, It seems that adult personality is more dependent on nurture than genetics.”
“Go away.” Rimbaud raised his eyelids and glanced sharply at the puppet master. He picked up the medical pliers on the ground and held them in his hands. An electric current emerged from the palm of his hand. The smoke slowly solidified on the ground.
“Are you all right?” He hurriedly crawled to Bai Chunian’s side and patted his back lightly. Rimbaud has lived for too long. He has lived in the world for nearly three hundred years. Many pains and fears are not surprising to him, but Xiaobai is different. When he was born as a blank sheet of paper, he was severely crumpled ripped.
“It’s alright.” Bai Chunian supported the edge of the table in the center of the room with both hands, bowed his head and shook his head to wake him up. The pale complexion also returned to normal.
Rimbaud caressed his ear gently, and read a soothing sentence in his ear.
Eris laughed inappropriately, and laughed loudly on Bai Chunian’s shoulder: “Brother, you are so weak.”
“Eris.” The puppet master called out to him. He raised his right hand wearing a half-glove, and a suture needle with blood threads fell at Eris’ feet. Eris was startled and exaggerated like a Jump like an electric shock.
At the same time, the strange rhythm in the core of his chest made him hold his heart in a daze, as if the simulated mechanical core inside was pulsing violently.
“Empathy.” The puppet master whispered.
“Gotit, gotit~” Eris put away his sarcastic expression and strolled back to the puppet master in a bored manner, pulling his trousers straps with both hands to look around at the surrounding furnishings.
There was a smell of disinfectant that was about to dissipate in this damp room, and a stench that almost covered the smell of disinfectant.
Bai Chunian shook Lan Bo’s hand to indicate that he was fine, and turned on the flashlight to illuminate the furnishings in the room inch by inch.
There is a yellow trash can on the floor to the left of the desk, which contains medical waste, from which the puppeteer’s suture needles and medical forceps are taken out.
The puppeteer is standing at the desk reading the papers left in the drawer.
“This is the place where the test subjects who have passed the ability test do their physical examinations.” The puppet master put down the moldy file and pushed back the drawer containing the stethoscope, thermometer and other sundries.
In the dark corner, the mouse was squeaking, Bai Chunian cautiously moved the light of the flashlight over, and saw a door on the right in the deepest part of the room, but when he pushed it hard, the door did not move.
Bai Chunian turned his head and found a crack in the wall.
“The wall is cracked.” Bai Chunian walked to the corner against the wall farthest from the mouse, and groped for the crack with his fingertips, “It seems like the wall was cracked by the electric drill next door.” However, the crack was too small, so turn on the light. Can’t see what’s inside.
As he moved, he suddenly kicked a box with his foot, so he squatted down to examine it. It is a fresh-keeping freezer, and there are many broken test tubes of medicine scattered on the ground. After too long, many medicines have evaporated to dryness, leaving some stains on the ground.
“Xiao Bai, I just ate a melon.” Lan Bo leaned his head over and squeezed over. When Bai Chunian turned around, he saw Lan Bo holding the tail of the squeaky mouse upside down with two fingers, and swung it around in a circle. Throw it into the ditch outside the room.
“Okay, it’s dead.” Rimbaud comforted.
“…Where did you find the melon.”
“In the fruit basket by the hanger.”
“Isn’t it all rotten? It all stinks.”
“The melon isn’t rotten.”
“Hey, don’t eat indiscriminately.” Bai Chunian found that the freezer could not be opened directly. There was a cipher device on it, but because of the power failure, the cipher device screen was black.
This kind of password device is similar to the staircase in the entrance hall. When the power is turned on, you need to enter the password to open it. When the power is off, the hydraulic lock is automatically locked. It cannot be opened inside or outside unless it is violently smashed. Like the metal plate with the force, it cannot be easily smashed open by just one person.
“There is an electric control box here.” The puppet master illuminated the left wall with his thumb flashlight, lifted the casing of the electric control box, and checked carefully: “The switch is artificially turned off.” He flipped the main switch up.
Only to hear some hissing noises from the overhead lights, and then pop on.
The room was very brightly lit, and all three except Eris covered their eyes to adapt to the sudden light.
“Yes, it’s brighter now.” The freezer in front of Bai Chunian also turned on a green light to indicate that it was running, and the cipher button lit up, indicating that a six-digit password was required. Bai Chunian patiently took out the decoder from his backpack, connected it to the cipher and waited for it to be read.
“What are you up to against the cabinet, just smash through the door.” Eris was so irritable that he couldn’t wait to smash the door, but there seemed to be something on the other side of the door, so it was difficult to push it open.
After Bai Chunian finished reading the decoder, the password was automatically filled in, and the hydraulic lock of the freezer was released.
No one needed to do anything, and the freezer lid simply collapsed on its own. After a loud noise, swarms of flies flew out, like a humming black whirlwind, mixed with a violent stench.
The tip of Rimbaud’s tail was discharged, and a thunderbolt power grid was pulled away from Xiaobai, covering the freezer.
The freezer was a **** mess, and the walls were covered with dirty blood. A highly decomposed headless corpse was curled up and squatting inside, wearing a white lab coat from the 109 Research Institute.
“Hey, this smell has been dead for a long time.” Bai Chunian brought up the small metal half-face gas mask on the collar of his combat uniform and fastened it to his nose and mouth, “Look for anything useful on him.”
Rimbaud lay on the edge of the freezer and reached in to rummage. Carrion blood and corpse oil stained his arms, but they were purified in less than ten seconds. After searching for a long time, he was still clean.
The puppet master could not help but sigh in his heart that the mermaid is indeed an ancient mysterious and holy creature. Only such advanced creatures that can maintain the development of the planet they live in towards recovery rather than destruction are worthy of living in the world.
Rimbaud found an ID card in the body’s pocket. According to the information on the magnetic card, the deceased’s name was Abby, alpha, and his department was the “herbarium”.
Eris was still slamming on the door, making noises constantly, Bai Chunian raised his cheeks to think again, and reviewed what happened in this room in his mind.
Puppeteer: “There are two main points. First, a human who has lost his head cannot complete the complex action of climbing into the freezer and then closing the lid. Second, the corpse moves naturally and is not artificially placed in the freezer. He put the body in the freezer. He threw all the things out, and then squatted into the freezer, obviously avoiding something. It means that the murderer is chasing him. Is it a human, or an experimental subject.”
Bai Chunian: “He ran out, opened the freezer cover with the password, left it open, then ran to turn off the electric switch, then came back and hid in the freezer to lock himself up, but the murderer cut off his head and slapped the cover on. already.”
Puppeteer: “Or he squatted in the freezer first, then the killer chopped off his head, put a lid on him, and finally turned off the electric switch to lock him up.”
Bai Chunian: “Speaking of which, his head is.”
“…”
“Forget it, this question is meaningless, I’ll think about it later.” Bai Chunian walked over to Eris, who was still slamming on the door.
“The door is not locked. But it can’t be pushed or smashed. There seems to be a lot of things leaning against the door.” Eris shook his hand.
Bai Chunian also tried it, and it was indeed not easy to push. The door seemed solid, as if something was pressing against it.
Rimbaud also tried to push.
A series of crackling sounds of electric mosquito swatters could be heard from the crack of the door.
The door squeaked open without any resistance. Lan Bo stumbled too hard and nearly fell in. Bai Chunian grabbed his arm and pulled him back.
Rimbaud frowned and swept the dust on his shoulders: “There is nothing blocking it at all.”
“Go first.” Bai Chunian cautiously went in halfway to observe the situation. The interior became brighter due to the restoration of power. It was similar to the subway security inspection machine, except that the subway security inspection was for luggage, and the whole person was to be passed here.
There is a duty desk outside the closed security inspection channel, and a computer is placed on the table to check the security inspection imaging.
Rimbaud was quite familiar with this place, and without hesitation, he lifted the blackout lead curtain and walked into the dark X-ray security inspection channel. Eris had also gone through the security check at the institute and knew there was nothing to fear, so he dragged the puppet master and chased after him.
Bai Chunian deliberately slowed down, and when he stepped onto the security conveyor belt, he silently retreated.
He quietly sat in front of the security check computer and tried to enter the access code on the Abido ID card into the computer.
The monitoring computer successfully displayed the security X-ray image.
The first person to walk over was Rimbaud. Only his bones could be photographed, and any internal organs were wrapped in random currents and could not be imaged.
It seems that because of this, Rimbaud was not discovered the existence of pearls in his body in the cultivation base and research institute, and was rashly injected with mimetic medicine, causing tragedy.
“Ranbo…” Bai Chunian sighed deeply.
After Rimbaud’s X-ray security inspection image moved away, Eris ran after him. The image was a spherical joint doll with a solid body. Only the glands in the back of the neck were translucent like ordinary internal organs. Ceramics, with a whole white flower, can’t see through at all.
What Bai Chunian wanted to see the most was actually where the sacred clockwork was hidden by the puppet master. As expected, there was a mechanism in his apron pocket, and the sacred clockwork was hidden in the mezzanine of the mechanism.
Other than that, the other organs and bones of the puppeteer are the same as those of ordinary humans. Except for the heart.
It’s strange that the white flower of the heart cannot be seen through.
