604 The price of necessity
Standing in front of the pitch-black "night", the corpse demon slowly stretched out his cold right hand, trying to touch the opaque "spatial barrier".
He didn't know what it was, but anyway, it was easiest to try it himself, after all, the corpse didn't feel pain, and even if it was partially damaged, it would be fine to replace it with a new body.
While pondering, the corpse demon had already stretched out his right hand without temperature and touched the pitch-black barrier.
Then, his blank eyes noticed that his right hand was gone.
After a dangerous sizzling sound, a dark red light flowed through the barrier where his right hand touched, and his own hand, as if it had been burned, turned into ashes and disappeared into the air.
Realizing that he was facing a barrier that could not be broken through by his physical body alone, the corpse demon stepped back in surprise, avoiding the dangerous dark curtain in front of him, and whispered to himself:
"It's ...... What is it? ”
……
After leaving the cold training ground, the shirtless young man was blindfolded, walked a long way, and was then rudely thrown onto a metal chair.
Lin Chi, who was so weak that he couldn't even stand up, was firmly locked to the chair by the metal restraints, and the backpack on his body was also taken off and thrown somewhere.
Perhaps in order for him to see his condition clearly before he died, the other party tore off the black cloth covering Lin Chi's face, and Lin Chi, who had been in a "state of blindness", finally saw his location clearly.
It's a cold lab.
On the rusty metal walls, the dark red marks are not known whether they are rust or blood. Nearby, on a metal cabinet are stacked not so much experimental supplies as forceps, tweezers, and sledgehammers for torturing people. The chain hanging directly in front of it looked like a tool used in hanging.
If ordinary players were tied up in such a ghost place, I am afraid that they would have forcibly quit the game and run away, but of course Lin Chi would not do that, just continued to look around calmly.
"Hey......
A strange laugh sounded from the front, the vicious man in Lin Chi's imagination did not appear, and the one who was standing in front of the test table with his back to him was actually a tall "angel in white".
- If it weren't for Jane's kind of "women's clothing boss", there would be another person in this room besides herself, who should be a woman.
So, is this guy the real "behind the scenes" in this horror research institute?
"Welcome, comrade!"
The woman turned her head as she spoke, a green smile appeared on her seemingly innocent face, raised her eyebrows and stood in front of Lin Chi, reaching out and patting him on the shoulder.
"I'm a researcher at the Incineration Agency! It's been a long time since there were new experiments, so it's boring to stay here, so come and talk to me, right? ”
The tall woman dressed in white introduced herself uselessly. At the same moment, a line of dark red text appeared beside her, marking her identity:
"Daria of the Cossacks", a special NPC, cannot be recruited.
Seeing the other party's code name that sounded like a fake name, Lin Chi suddenly remembered a heavy chariot called "Daria's Behemoth" that he had seen in the "Iron Curtain Domain" of the squad deathmatch.
Although it may just be a duplicate name. But......
"You used to study mechanics?" Lin Chi asked in a hoarse voice.
"Huh? Yes......" The woman with short dark brown hair nodded honestly, looking "pure and harmless": "I used to be an engineer in the Soviet Chariot Factory, and the scythe mecha, the horror robot and the giant beast chariot are all from my design drawings, right?" ”
Although the other party showed a smug smile, as if waiting to be praised, recalling the common characteristics of those weapons, Lin Chi still told the truth:
"You seem to have designed all the cruel things you want to kill."
Hearing this, Daria's brows furrowed slightly, but she quickly changed back to her original smile: "Maybe, but that's an organizational need, I designed weapons for the Soviets, not for my own selfish desires." ”
"So you're here to kill people now, and it's also 'needed by the organization'?" Lin Chi narrowed his eyes.
"Of course." Daria nodded without hesitation: "For the sake of the motherland, even if I am asked to go to the battlefield, I will be the first to charge." ”
Hearing this, Lin Chi immediately realized that this person might not have been controlled by the incineration mechanism. If that's the case......
"Do you really know what the incineration mechanism is doing...... Lin Chi whispered, "they are mutilating the people of the Soviet Union." ”
However, after Lin Chi spoke, Daria did not waver at all, just raised the corners of her mouth and smiled slightly, nodded and said:
"Of course I know, the flamethrower they use to burn corpses is my improvement."
"So you're also an accomplice?" Lin Chi frowned.
"No, you don't understand."
Daria shook her head, turned around and picked up a syringe filled with an unknown dark green liquid from the test bench, and shook the slender needle: "For the sake of the Soviets, this is the necessary price. ”
"So that's how the Soviet mother treated her people, using them as experiments?" Lin Chi mercilessly ridiculed the other party.
For these guys who incinerated the mechanism, Lin Chi couldn't understand the other party's thinking pattern at all, and he didn't want to understand it at all. In his opinion, the incineration mechanism was precisely under the banner of the Soviet Union, carrying out anti-human rule.
However, Daria, who is a member of the incineration agency, apparently does not think so:
"Yes, there is indeed an experiment in alienation going on here, but how can the lives of the inhabitants of a city be compared to the fate of the entire Soviet? They sacrificed for the good of the Soviets, and even if they knew the truth, they would be happy! Daria said solemnly, in a tone and tone like a standard decent character.
"In that case, why didn't you tell them the truth?" Lin Chi said contemptuously, "What are you afraid of? ”
For some reason, he hated what he had done to incinerate the machine. Even in the game, the favorability for these guys has remained negative.
What exactly do these people want to do?
Lin Chi, who has always been puzzled by this question, finally got the answer to the question from the female engineer who was about to transform herself into a "walking dead" in the worst case:
"So you're an outsider, and you think we're trying to do it ourselves? Do you think we're deliberately using people as experiments to satisfy our own perverted hobbies? ”
Speaking of this, the woman who had been smiling finally showed a trace of anger: "We have no other way!" The US imperialists are eyeing the Soviets, their Prism tanks are in Alaska, and they may cross the sea with landing ships at any time to inflict a devastating blow on the Soviets, what do you think we can do? Can you stop those capitalist lunatics? ”
"That's why you're turning people into monsters?" Lin Chi whispered, "The reason why the citizens mutated is because you have something hidden underground, right?" ”
"I don't want to talk anymore." Daria shook her head, stepped forward with a syringe, and stabbed the needle into Lin Chi's neck.
