"Hmm, you call you a 'comedy harlequin'? This nickname is very familiar... Let me think. Oliver began to think.

The weird guy picked up directly: "Oliver, it's a shame that you're still from Old York City, and you've been in gangsters, how can you not remember 'Comedy Harlequin'?" This is the most wanted criminal in the police department! ”

"Oh, I remember~!" Oliver slapped his head, "You are the wanted criminal who dresses very sassy and likes to talk sassy~ Well, you can't blame me, after all, he is too different from the wanted poster now!" ”

"Yes, that's me. Oh, what, seeing me, disappointed? ”

Oliver shook his head and replied, "It's not a disappointment, after all, I wasn't expecting to meet you. Well, I didn't expect that you, who had made the police deflated countless times, would get mixed up with the janitor cat. ”

Hilgai also spoke: "Sister Hallie said, you have something to entrust us to do, so what is it?" ”

The comedy harlequin didn't answer the weirdo's question, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, young man, before that, I want to talk about my past, of course, this is not an old man's self-pity, it's about the dark truth about that fallen city, about the evil truth about the 'Birdman' family!" ”

"In 2019, I, Jack. Carmendi was just an unlucky graduate student at ETH, who had been called around by his mentor and used as a tool man who didn't spend money. I thought it would take another two years to escape from under the claws of that fat pig. As a result, he was suddenly dragged to the research unit of the 'Berdman Enterprise' as a hard laborer. Speaking of this, the corners of the comedy clown's mouth showed a hint of sarcasm, back then, I am afraid he would never have dreamed that a temporary internship would become an opportunity to change his life and that of many people.

"I wasn't very noticeable before, well, that's what I used to be." The comedy harlequin took out an old photograph of him in the past, short, thin, with black-rimmed glasses, and it can be said that in addition to the fact that his hair is not a chicken nest head, plus he is not so sloppy, he is simply another Hilgei.

"Originally, I went to that big company that didn't have a good reputation, and I was worried about being squeezed half to death, but the result was the opposite of what I imagined. There is a lot of work to do, but it is not heavy, it is boring. There was no overtime, no corporal punishment, no reprimand, well, except that there was no money to pay, I don't think this job was really bad. ”

"So, what did you do there, right?" Oliver asked.

"yes, that's true, you know, once people are idle and their minds are full of running trains, plus no one pays attention and controls them, then they are not far from getting into trouble." The face of the comedy harlequin twitched a little, and he still doesn't understand why he, who was honest and honest, would do such an unthinkable thing to invite him.

"I was so bored at the time, so I played through a computer with very low permissions, and I fished after my work every day, and for better enjoyment, I kept breaking through the firewall of the server, trying to get higher permissions, ha, Hilgei should know that this kind of thing, once it starts, it can't be stopped."

Hilgai, who was originally sleepy, also came to his senses when he heard this, and asked, "Oh, I see, you got their confidential information, right?" ”

"It's not just documents," the comedy clown's expression became solemn: "Through my continuous cracking, I have obtained quite high permissions, and obtained the core research materials of the 'Birdman' enterprise, of course, only a small part, but what surprised me was not the products they were researching, but the special biological substances that were used as research materials!" ”

"That kind of biological matter is not what it should be on the earth! There has never been such a complex biological sample on Earth, let alone more than two billion years ago! ”

"Uh, more than two billion years ago? Were there complex creatures back then? It's far from the Cambrian period of the biological explosion, right? Helenie scratched the ends of her hair.

"Yes, you're right, little girl. But this creature, it doesn't belong to the earth, it belongs to outer space! The comedy harlequin exclaimed, "You can imagine how shocked my heart was when I discovered this secret!" After that, my mind was full of thoughts about how to get that sample. ”

"Wow, I can't see that such a sincere and honest nerd like you would do such a thing of stealing business secrets!" Oliver whistled.

"Heh, thanks to my stupid appearance back then, no one would have thought that I, an intern on the periphery of the enterprise, would be thinking about how to seize the core research materials! And, in the end, I succeeded! I've done something that countless commercial spies haven't done, please! If you want those people to know, you have to be angry! Hahahaha~! The comedian laughed exaggeratedly.

"Hey, I said, sir, are you done with your story?" Oliver looked at the injury on the hospital bed with a little dissatisfaction, and felt that the other party's spirit was better than that of a healthy person.

"Well, I'm only halfway through it, don't worry, the next thing is the point!"

"Well, I won't describe how I did it, anyway, it's all in the past. Anyway, I managed to steal the synthetic creature they named 'Deep Dark'. He fled westward, and finally hitched a ride to the small city in the central part of the city--- Beaver. ”

"Wait," Helenie interrupted, confused, "Beaver City?" I seem to have heard that the place ... ”

"Ruined~! Completely ruined! The comedy harlequin sighed, "Wherever you look for information, you will say that the place was destroyed by a massive gas pipe explosion, but a few people know that it is not true." And I, more clearly, I, Jack. Carmendi! It is the real culprit who led to the destruction of this small city! ”

"What?! What did you do? Mr. Carmendi?! The weird guy was startled, then frowned, "Hmm, is it related to that synthetic creature?" By the way, why synthetic biology? ”

"I'll talk about synthetic biology later. In short, the cause of everything came from the fact that in order to save money, I found a very cheap B&B near the city center to rent, tsk, I often think that if I didn't choose this damn B&B at that time, everything after that might not have happened! ”

After complaining, the comedy clown looked at the ceiling and fell into the memories of the past: "It was a typical left-behind family, the husband and wife who were the pillars went to work in Old York, and there was only an old lady, a bear child, and a damn stupid dog left in the house!" ”

"The old lady has a bit of Alzheimer's disease, and she can't control the dead child at all. The dead kid took advantage of my day out, and he took his dog and slipped into my rented room and pried open my safe! Can you believe it? An eight-year-old bear child can pick a lock! ”

"I'm just speculating. The bear kid threw all the contents out of the cupboard and took only the money, and the dead dog, it may have touched it, or simply ate the black monster meat! By the time I got back, the dead dog had already bitten the old lady to death, and had eaten half of the bear child! Thinking of that horrific scene, the comedy harlequin still has lingering palpitations.

"Then I called the police and fled the scene like crazy. Maybe it's retribution, just as I was about to stop the car and flee, I was hit by a drunk driver and completely unconscious. By the time I woke up, I was already in the central hospital, and several days had passed. In just a few days, the whole city was out of control, and a large number of monsters were slaughtering innocent citizens, they were like that deformed stupid dog, covered in pitch black, full of tentacles and sharp teeth! The police station has been wiped out, and the whole city has turned into hell! ”

"Oh my God~" Oliver opened his mouth wide: "Just because of that biological sample you stole from?" And then accidentally let the dog eat it? And then it developed into a situation where the whole city was finished?! It sounds like an outdated zombie movie script. ”

"Yes, it's a zombie, and I'd rather be a zombie. Those monsters can infect all living things, and many people fall down and get up again like zombies. They're not the slow zombies in the movies, they're extremely fast, running faster than cars! The claws that grow can pierce cars! Coupled with most weapons, the effect on them is very weak, and in that city with an average level of security, it is simply an invincible existence! ”

"How did you survive, and how did you get to be the way you are?" Helenie asked.

"At first, I moved with the team that had come to protect and evacuate the hospital, but the brutes were cunning, and they ambushed us! At the exit of the city, a big guy glued together by a large number of infected people, with a large number of infected creatures, is waiting for us there! This guy is so powerful, whether it's a machine gun or a tank gun, hitting it is no different from tickling, after that, the big guy got close to the tank, cut open the top of the turret like a can, and spit black sputum into it... The screams of the soldiers inside the tank soon stopped. And then that tank aimed its guns at our fleet of armored vehicles! ”

"The Jun team quickly finished playing, and I and the others ran back to the city, and after that, I gradually fell behind because of an injury. I didn't know the way, so I had to run blindly, and finally arrived at a small museum that was not very popular, and the exhibits in it were all small gadgets of the aborigines of Mizhou. The curator and staff left without even locking the door, which allowed me to enter and take a breath. ”

The Comedy Harlequin paused, pulling back the bandage that was wrapped around his chest, especially the scar above his heart. He said, "See, this is my scar, the proof of my sin, and the beginning of my salvation!" ”

"After hiding in the hall for two days, I originally thought that the Jun team could control the situation, but after all, it was my delusion. A small patrol of infected people found the area, and I was accidentally bitten by one of them while I was closing the room. Tsk, you know, the bite is not painful at all, but itchy. A black thing, coming out of the wound, I'm infected! The wound is infected very quickly, and it is gradually spreading in the direction of my heart, my brain, I think I am going to die, and I will soon become one of those monsters, I don't want this way of dying, I don't want to die! ”
