July 2, 2XX2, nine months after the end times came.

The walls are made of the latest alloy glass, and the clarity is not too high, but you can see almost everything inside.

For example, whether the prey that is trapped by it is well in his cage.

"It's time to eat, number 07."

In the small single standard room, the passage for transporting food is no different from the previous room, but it has become a standard configuration with food and food, one person.

The boy curled up in the corner of the bed, and raised his head slightly when he heard the voice.

In the early days of the end times, the sirens spent the most chaotic first months because of the habit of stockpiling household items at home. A month later, he began to try to go out and get survival skills, items, and news.

Three months later, City A established the country's third eschatological survival base, as well as the research institute of Pongyi. As countless survivors rushed there, the sirens had woken up in the Institute's underground prison.

- He was bitten by a predatory monster outside and was on the verge of death. He was taken back by the researchers who later "cleaned up" the battlefield and dumped in the Institute's underground prison along with many others in similar situations.

Sudden changes in the environment require the results of response, and the birth of results requires countless new experiments. And one of the sources of the test is the countless people who have been captured openly and secretly in this world where the moral law has collapsed and rebuilt.

Fortunately or unfortunately, the sirens did not die, but survived a long incubation period of three months and awakened their spiritual powers.

Outside, the Adept is the darling of the gods who are envied by countless people; Here, too, they are darlings – the most beloved by researchers, rare experiments.

He was removed from the room where the "discard" was placed and locked up in a special room cast of alloy glass. There are thirty such rooms, and the number of people is constantly consumed and growing, changing and updating day after day.

The siren's room number is 07, Seven.

Seven，Siren。

He began to hate the pronunciation.

His abilities are spiritual, and the newborn abilities are weak, like babies in humans. So they placed him on a bench and chose a variety of ways to try to parse his abilities.

Physical, all kinds of harmful or harmless bands, electric shocks, in vitro tests; Chemical, potions of unknown effect, cutting and dissecting, implanting all sorts of unbelievable things...... They even arranged a healing attribute ability to extend his life force and continue to act as a guinea pig for a period of time.

Whether you are an ordinary person or suffering from a mental illness, the expression of pain is the same. But the pleading and wailing did not have the slightest effect, and the gloved limbs were as cold and precise as machines, and the pupils of the half-covered faces did not waver in the slightest during operation.

If this long torment with no time limit makes the sirens feel painful; Then Lilith's disappearance lost even the only possible consolation.

——From the moment he obtained the ability, perhaps it was the invisible suppression of the ability by the experiment, or the bug caused by the distortion of the immature mental power, Lilith, who had accompanied him for two years and spent the gray but free time at the beginning of the end of the world, completely lost contact with him.

She was his second personality, but he didn't want to define it that way. He called her Lilith, his companion, his relative, his half-body, the only person with whom he had a heart.

According to the book, a partner is a partner, a husband and wife, a person who lives, works, and travels together, and is also a fellow individual in the functional ring who is treated only as the same thing.

Well, she is his partner.

But he lost her.

"Seven, it's time to eat."

"Seven, tomorrow's trial is about ......, so be prepared."

"Seven, do you feel sick in your brain? Where is the location? ”

"Seven, I'm going to implant you with 3 times the concentration of the monster today, I hope you can carry it."

“Seven……”

Initially, he also resisted, refusing to eat and cooperating with his feelings, or fabricating false reactions. But this is like a child's meaningless crying, which is useless except to bring deeper harm to himself.

When the irritation of pain gradually numbs during the test, the body is like a withered old tree coming to an end. He could feel that something was slipping, and even if the ability healed the wound on the surface, it would be irretrievably doomed.

So, why are you still unwilling?

Unwillingly, let these people who hurt themselves take the fruits of their own bodies and lead to the so-called bright future.

Unwilling, he was a powerless guinea pig from beginning to end, wasting his life on the cold operating table at the beginning of the last days.

Unwillingly, the reason why human beings don't want to die may just be because they want to live.

Unwillingly, after she died, she would never be seen again.

She will "die" with herself, and until then, she will not even be able to say goodbye.

"Seven, this is the last experiment."

"Your brain waves are getting weaker and weaker, and your personality spirit is losing its vitality - a precursor to self-destruction. We're going to introduce a new personality that will wipe out Asperger's syndrome as well. The newborn personality will be strong, complete, and obedient...... Ah, I can't wait to see him. ”

"Say goodbye to the world, man, and thank you for your hospitality during this time."

The cold potion was injected into the body, and the sound of the instrument operating was familiar and unfamiliar. He felt that his long-muddy spirit was violently torn apart by something outside, and the irrepressible pain broke out instantly:

"Ahh——!!!h

He was torn apart.

He was devoured.

He was dissolved.

But...... He's not reconciled.

Even if you are no longer complete, no matter how much you pay.

He never, never, absolutely not, must not lose to a foreign thing.

Stay alive.

Stay alive.

Live......

……

……

The biting and grinding in consciousness lasted for three whole days.

The researchers nervously monitored the progress of the teenager lying on the test bench, the spirit body.

On the electronic screen projecting the mental condition, there is a rough image composed of electrical signals. After all, the research of abilities has just begun, and it cannot match the current precision, and only a rough "mimicry" can be seen.

The image appears as an irregular near-round body, occasionally twitching and undulating and contracting, never calming.

It symbolizes the present state of the subject's mental body.

"Hey, do you know how it works?"

A young assistant who participated in the monitoring pulled the clothes of another slightly more senior assistant and asked curiously.

"I heard that it is the complete disappearance of the internal changes in the spirit - from the perspective of images, it is that this form no longer changes abruptly." As the two spoke, the image twitched again, and the second assistant pointed at it: "Look, it keeps changing like this, which means that it hasn't ...... yet."

He was only halfway through his words, but he noticed that the faces of his companions suddenly showed some kind of expression similar to surprise and confusion, which gradually turned into panic.

When the young assistant looked back, his pupils reflected the last scene he had seen in his life—

The orb, which had been struggling and twitching for three days, suddenly split from within. It became five smaller, similarly sized things, and a smaller than all of them, an incomparably regular circle.

and the most conspicuous one, larger than all of them, with a near-circular existence.

From one, to seven.

This picture only remained on the monitor for a short second, and the next second, the whole instrument exploded with a "bang" as if it was being stretched open from the inside by some energy! It was not only this one instrument that had an accident, but also all the instruments in the work on the scene, some of which were broken, some of which were bursting, and some of which were suspended; All the staff members present with no special abilities were in a state of brain death at the same moment.

After a few seconds of noise and disruption, there was an unprecedented, almost eerie silence.

Then, the teenager, who had been lying on the experimental table for three whole days, opened his eyes.

In the fully open eye sockets, the pupils contracted abnormally several times in a few seconds, and finally dilated to cover the iris into pitch black, and then instantly smudged by the blood-like red.

The moment the pigment completely settled, the young man with gray hair sat up from the experimental table, and then knocked down countless instruments connected to his body.

White hair, red eyes, this is the hallmark of the demonized species.

But his eyes have only been assimilated to the iris, and the whites of his eyes are still completely normal.

What's more, except for the color of his hair and eyes, his appearance is not distorted and deformed like that of a monster. The original clean and delicate appearance, because of the change of color, adds a bit of bewitchment.

The few remaining researchers with abilities stared nervously at him in the far corners. After seeing clearly the sanity and sobriety that had not disappeared in his demeanor, the person at the head subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and spoke more vigilantly:

“…… Seven？ ”

"Seven, it's time to eat."

"Seven, tomorrow's trial is about ......, so be prepared."

"Seven, do you feel sick in your brain? Where is the location? ”

"Seven, I'm going to implant you with 3 times the concentration of the monster today, I hope you can carry it."

“Seven……”

——Seven，Siren。

He hated the pronunciation, so he ......

The boy showed a gentle smile, an expression that people often have when they interact with each other. But it was a former siren, and it was absolutely impossible to make it.

“Hi，I'm Cesare.”
