Chapter 15: Countdown
The cold biomagnetism pressed against Zero's immature skin, causing goosebumps all over his body, and his limbs began to tremble.
Professor Simon personally fixed the device on ZERO's body, and every step was carried out with extreme care.
ZERO LOOKED AT PROFESSOR SIMON'S OLD, KIND FACE, AND WAS CONFUSED ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE.
Dozens of large and small biomagnets were all fixed, and ZERO only felt that his body was restrained by countless leads, although it was not really restrained, but it was quite difficult to move flexibly.
PROFESSOR SIMON DRAGGED ZERO BY THE LEGS AND PUSHED HIM INTO THE TEST CHAMBER, WHICH WAS MADE UP OF A SLIPPERY GUM AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CHAMBER, WHICH WAS AT THE RIGHT TEMPERATURE, AND THERE WAS A STRANGE FEELING OF LYING ON IT.
ZERO SNEERED, WIGGLING HIS BODY AND SAYING IT WAS ITCHY. LOOKING AT ZERO'S PURE SMILE, PROFESSOR SIMON'S FACE ONCE AGAIN SHOWED A LOOK OF HESITATION, BUT AFTER A MOMENT, THIS EMOTION WAS OVERCOME BY REASON.
Through ZERO's dark eyes, Hugo took everything into the past again, he understood what path he had finally entered, although he knew that everything that had happened was irreparable, but Hugo's heart was still faintly painful, and the feeling of sadness lingered.
"GRANDPA, WHEN WILL I GET OUT OF CLASS?" ASKED ZERO.
Professor Simon said indifferently: "When you learn everything, you will naturally leave the class." ”
ZERO TILTED HIS HEAD AND ASKED AGAIN, "HOW DO YOU LEARN EVERYTHING?"
Simon taught, "When there is no more knowledge to you, you will learn everything, and you will... Be free. ”
ZERO BLINKED AND PONDERED WHAT SIMON HAD SAID, AND SIMON HAD ALREADY PULLED OUT AN OXYGEN MASK WITH A THICK TUBE FROM INSIDE THE CHAMBER AND PULLED IT OUT AND BUCKLED IT AROUND ZERO'S FACE.
ZERO SPOKE TO PROFESSOR SIMON AGAIN, BUT HIS WORDS TURNED INTO A BUZZING VOICE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE MASK, AND HE COULDN'T BE HEARD AT ALL.
PROFESSOR SIMON FINISHED EVERYTHING, LOOKED UP AT ZERO AND SAID SLOWLY, "GOOD LUCK, ZERO." With that, he raised his hand and clasped the lid of the cabin.
When the hatch is locked, the pressure caused by the enclosed space comes towards ZERO. Every pore on his body trembled as if he sensed danger.
ZERO SWALLOWED DRYLY, AND LOOKED AT THE LENS ON THE HATCH COVER, BUT THE LENS SHOWED ONLY A MISTY WHITE LIGHT, AND NO ONE COULD BE SEEN.
Seeing this, ZERO panicked even more, fear swelling in his heart, and a strong desire to survive urged him to get out of here as soon as possible. ZERO STRUGGLED FRANTICALLY, BUT THE MASS OF WIRES HAD BEEN CRUSHED INTO A MASS OF FILAMENTS, TRAPPING ZERO COMPLETELY IN A COCOON.
ZERO'S HEART WAS POUNDING, AND A ROAR CAME OUT OF HIS MOUTH, BUT IT COULD ONLY ECHO THROUGH THE MASK, AND THE CLATTERING SOUND OF HIS FEET TOUCHING THE HATCH WITHOUT THE SLIGHTEST EFFECT.
In this way, the fear in ZERO's heart continued to expand, and gradually began to transform into sad despair.
Suddenly, a fragrant hypnotic spray erupted from the mask, and ZERO breathed violently into his lungs, feeling a deep sense of tiredness and fatigue rushing through his body.
The tiredness made it impossible for ZERO to struggle any longer, and his body began to calm down, even the great fear in his heart began to crumble.
What the hell is going on...
Am I going to die...
... Die... Is that how it feels...
ZERO'S MIND BEGAN TO BECOME CHAOTIC, ENTERING A KIND OF SUBCONSCIOUS CHAOS. At the same time, a stream of warm liquid suddenly erupted from the water deflector at the head of the chamber, and the liquid filled at a rapid rate, submerging most of Zero's body in an instant.
It felt like he was taking a hot bath, which made his body feel very comfortable, and the negative emotions in Zero's mind disappeared with the heat flow.
When the heat completely filled the chamber, completely submerging Zero, Zero used the last of his strength to glance up, then closed his eyes again.
Green...
ZERO fell into a deep sleep.
...
Hugo didn't fall asleep with Zero, the world in front of him only became dark again with Zero's loss of consciousness.
...
The wheels of the dining car stopped again.
Sayuri stood in front of the heavy glass.
Thirteen sat on the other side of the glass with a nonchalant expression, his complexion much better than before.
Sayuri brought the food into the delivery port again, and then sat down on the floor herself.
These fifteen minutes a day are the most leisurely time for the two of them, and Thirteen is not in a hurry to eat, but looks at Sayuri and says, "Have you eaten?"
Sayuri shook her head slightly, and Thirteen smiled, "It seems that you are really oppressed by this staff." ”
Sayuri smiled, "Compared to what we experienced, this little oppression is nothing. ”
Thirteen nodded, smiling and looking up at the junction of the ceiling and the heavy glass curtain wall.
Sayuri looked at Thirteen's relaxed expression and bit her lower lip.
"Just say what you want. Thirteen didn't look directly at Sayuri, but his desire to say goodbye was not missed.
Sayuri thought for a moment and said, "Yesterday's batch of 'new goods' arrived. ”
Thirteen said: "Everything needs fresh blood, and it's not surprising that all laboratories in the world regularly buy mice." Thinking that with the entry that we are trying to accomplish here, I don't think those children will be brought into the laboratory today, hehe, we are still happy compared to them. ”
Sayuri nodded, but there was still a look of hesitation in her eyes, which made Thirteen a little concerned, she had never seen this look on Sayuri's face.
Sayuri paused and said, "Today I saw an old man on staff walk in here with a child. ”
When Thirteen heard Sayuri say this, her eyes lit up, and she had a vague premonition in her heart about what Sayuri was trying to say.
"The kid looks like we're about the same age, he's a boy, and..."
Sayuri glanced at Thirteen again and said, "... LOOKING AT HIS FACE, IT'S VERY MUCH LIKE WHAT YOU CALL ZERO..."
Thirteen looked at Sayuri with wide eyes, his fierce gaze like a sword trying to penetrate her body and mind.
But what Sayuri said wasn't a lie.
Thirteen's face began to turn red, then his eyes turned red, and the skin of his body turned red.
In an instant, his whole person was in a state of tragic and violent departure.
Sayuri even heard the sound of gnashing her teeth coming from the other end of the glass, Sayuri couldn't help but shrink her neck, she had never seen Thirteen in such a state, that cold dead air made her feel suffocated.
I don't know how much time passed, but Thirteen suddenly spoke, "Remember what I said to you?"
Sayuri was stunned when she heard this, and for a moment she didn't realize what Thirteen was referring to.
"Get out of here as planned. ”
Thirteen said coldly.
"There's still a week to go. ”
