Chapter 252: On the Diary

【Thousands ♂ of ÷ small → said ◇ .], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

Su Wei crouched down and looked at the safe.

She was able to discover this safe, not by luck, but by observation and analysis.

When I went through the cabinet just now, I found that this asana cabinet had traces of being moved.

Originally, the cabinet was supposed to be close to the door, but then it was pushed to the middle, and the traces of drag can be clearly seen at the doorway, and the sealed environment retains the scratches at that time.

Since someone pushed the cabinet to the middle, it must be something to hide.

The safe is built into the wall, and it is still a very old-fashioned mechanical burglar-proof safe.

Turntable scale lock and doorknob, no keyhole, Su Wei looked at the turntable of the safe, deduced that it was a three-layer blade card lock, and couldn't help laughing.

This is the oldest safe, and it is hard to imagine that in 12 years, there were still people using this kind of mechanical safe, but it can only be said that the owner of this safe did not trust any electronic devices, or believed in machinery.

Su Wei needed a stethoscope now, the kind that could hear the sound of fine gears.

In the movie, there are many scenes showing the plot of opening the safe with a medical stethoscope, but in practice, this way of unlocking is very difficult, and the prerequisites are many.

First of all, the safe you want to open must be of the mechanical gear type, and there is only one mechanical lock, no other anti-theft mechanism, secondly, you need an absolutely quiet environment, and thirdly, you need a good pair of ears.

Now, Suvi needs a good stethoscope.

Of course, there is no such equipment in the lab, but there are headphones left in the cabinet as well as various HIFI devices.

Through these, Su Wei can make a good electronic stethoscope.

She found an iron triangle in-ear earbuds, which can effectively receive the auscultation effect, and Su Wei disassembled a headphone amplifier and two small speakers.

The magnet module is attached to the safe, and the wire is attached to the headphone cable, and now that she wears the headphones, she can clearly hear the vibration of the surface of the safe.

It was the waterfall outside, which shook the stone wall and passed down the stone wall to the metal safe.

Well, that's bad news, Su Wei spins the wheel, and she can barely hear the sound of the gears, only the vibration of the waterfall and the stone wall.

Noise, it's just noise.

She closed her eyes and decided to try again, and now Su Wei thought of the martial arts cheats that Ah Xue passed on to her, especially the Baiyun acupuncture method of the Emei faction, which has a very detailed description of the cultivation of hearing.

Su Wei closed her eyes, the noise in her ears became farther and farther, clearly separated, and slowly, she heard the sound of the gear of the safe, more and more clearly, as if it was turning in your ear.

Spin the wheel three times to the right, try slowly, and hear the sound of a card.

Then rotate twice to the left to find the second password, and finally rotate to the right to the third password.

The safe made a card sound three times in a row, three cleats were bounced open, Su Wei gently turned the doorknob, and a rotting smell came out of the safe.

Su Wei hurriedly put on a gas mask and opened the door of the safe.

Seeing what's inside, she turns her head and feels sick to her stomach.

In the safe, the first thing that came out was a dried corpse.

He was still wearing a white lab coat, but the muscles inside were shriveled up like mummies, and he couldn't see his gender, and his hands were propped up in the safe, and his legs were separated from his body......

It took Su Wei a moment to reach out and drag the dried corpse out, and the safe was empty, except for a black-skinned notebook.

Su Wei observed the dried corpse, because it was a sealed safe environment, just like the coffin of an Egyptian mummy, the corpse was not too rotten, looking at the sign on the chest of the white coat, which read the name of "Tezuka Hawko" written in Japanese, Chief Scientific Officer Doctor!

Su Wei noticed that the corpse was wearing a strange bracelet on its wrist, a wide black bracelet, a bit like an electronic bracelet now.

She searched her body with gloves and found Dr. Tezuka's purse, which contained a photo of the family.

A handsome-looking man, a gentle and beautiful wife, and twin daughters, eight or nine years old.

Takao Tezuka should be a senior technician at this test base, as can be seen from his sign.

To Su Wei's horror, Tezuka Hawko was still alive when he entered the safe, and he struggled inside, because of the narrow space, he broke his legs during the struggle, and he couldn't stretch and was closed for several years. Now his legs and body are broken.

Su Wei took out the notebook in the safe.

Tezuka Hawko's notebook, when he was dying, he should have hidden the notebook behind his waist, and later fell from the corpse.

Su Wei opened the first page, and on the title page, there was a handsome font written in Japanese.

"Don't be depressed, don't regret, don't be upset, the shadow of fate is burning, the throne of the tyrant in the sky shrouded in boundless darkness will be burned out by the flame of hope at this moment, I am the boundless flame beating in the night, I am the dawn of civilization in the age of barbarism......"

Lines from Shelley's Prometheus Unchained......

Su Wei read silently, she had taught herself the languages of various countries, but she was more proficient in the Latin system, and she was a little jerky about Japanese, a katakana script born from Chinese characters.

Fortunately, Dr. Tezuka's level of Chinese is very high, and the original Chinese writing style is used a lot in the writing style, which makes Su Wei read very smoothly.

What she saw was the diary of a scientist who admired Prometheus and hoped to bring light to mankind:

"December 31, 2012, dear crane, I have been on the island for three months, at this time, the heavy snow in Chidori must have fallen, I'm really sorry, I can't call you and my children, I can't write letters, we are a group of dwarfs trapped on the island, looking up at the giant's palace......"

"February 7, 2013, dear crane, today's experiment is not going well, of course there is no need to worry, Fukushima leaked only the seventh group of equipment, the other six groups of nuclear power equipment are all in good condition, the news must be reporting the statements of those ignorant politicians, but we have built a laboratory on the island, the nuclear power unit is put underground, and there are two hydropower modules...... You know, we have energy that we can't use up for a hundred years, and at this time, I always dream of the shrine of Chidori, ah, I don't know when I will be able to see the white cranes in the floating light, and the cherry blossoms......"

Su Wei flipped through the pages, these diaries were very trivial, and there were occasional quotes from Takao Tezuka.

Dr. Tezuka was very fond of poetry, quoting a lot from various countries, including Greek classical tragedy, Japanese haiku, and even the poems of Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty in China.

She looked at it, and there was finally something different on page 20, the font had become sloppy, and the poetry was no longer quoted, and looking at the fonts, there was already some English mixed in, full of anger.

"On July 17, 2013, dear crane, I was so painful that I saw such a stupid thing happening, Kagawa's pig, he was actually drunk, he secretly made wine in the laboratory, using his biological knowledge, it was a blasphemy of knowledge...... Now it's leaking, Unit 6 is completely leaking, and both sides of the canyon are full of dead lab animals, and oh my God, I feel like I'm seeing a massacre...... Tsuru, today is the parade of floats in Kyoto, you will take Yoshiko and the others there, I'm sorry I'm not around, I've been working hard for you......"

In July 2013, a serious leak occurred in the island's laboratory, which forced the laboratory to close, and more than 160 people, who could only survive on meager supplies, began to repeatedly record their daily food consumption in Tezuka's diary.

Fresh water is not to be eaten, but two-thirds of the food storage is contaminated, and no one dares to eat it, except for sashimi and sushi.

"2013 X day ?, crane, we are going to draw lots, no, Kagawa and I don't have to participate in the lottery, the concentration of nuclear radiation outside is still terrible, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare will no longer care about us, all communications are disconnected, those guys must want us to kill ourselves, I left the laboratory for the last time, and saw fog in the distance on the island outside the cave, they activated the removal measures, and now the island will disappear from the radar, the fog is filled, and there is no boat to find it...... We're completely finished, may God bless me to be able to see you and the child again......"

Takatsuka's font twists and turns on this page, and he can't even remember the time, but what does he mean by the lottery?

Su Wei continued to look at it, her breathing became more and more rapid, and finally closed the diary, panting heavily.

The cold text made her a little dizzy.

On September 7, two lottery winners entered the kitchen, and Dr. Kagawa used a plant anesthetic to alleviate their suffering......

On September 12, the lottery was completely abandoned, and everyone took a voluntary approach......

Su Wei took a deep breath and opened the last few pages of the diary.

Two or three members are eaten in each draw, so much so that Tezuka has to cut two or three times on his wrist every time he writes in his diary.

The wounds on the corpse's wrists and the blood stains in his diary show how much he hated himself at the time.

In his diary, Takao Tezuka wrote: "I eat a little at a time, a little, forgive me, our experiment is about to succeed." ”

"On September 15, 2013, dear crane, all the animals used for the experiment were eaten, but Dr. Kagawa caught a spider, no, a lot of spiders, we have enough food now, yes, except for me and Dr. Kagawa, everyone else is all food. ”

Experiments on spiders were successful, and spiders became larger and larger under a small amount of nuclear radiation.

"Dear Tsuru, I don't know what day it is, we can't see the sunrise and sunset, the electromagnetic wave oscillator has destroyed all our electronic devices, those guys are going to kill us completely, haha, but they can't come to the island anymore, because Kagawa and I have destroyed all the transmitters, there is no navigation, but I still left a transmitter, right on the bracelet......"

Dr. Tezuka's diary describes his bracelet in great detail, a remote control that allows him to control everything in the lab.

Su Wei untied the bracelet on the corpse, wiped it clean, and put it on her hand.

Then she continued to open the diary, and the last few pages were densely packed, and all the secrets and confessions were on these pages......
