CHAPTER IX
"Wait a minute."
Sai Tianbao's heart suddenly, his eyelids lifted upward, and he glanced at the person who interrupted - a silver two-pole badge pinned to the same sterilization robe, this is the leader of this group of inspection teams. Sai Tianbao quickly lowered his eyes, did not look at the man, and opened his mouth to make a stupid appearance, but in his heart he frantically guessed what would happen.
"Give him another one."
"Huh?" The inspector didn't react.
"Change a thermometer." The captain scolded impatiently, "Don't you see this head cracked?" ”
The inspector hurriedly changed a thermometer, but the captain was still dissatisfied, and said loudly: "Have a little heart!" Don't go wrong! Wouldn't it be a simple check? Yes?! ”
None of the inspectors dared to reply, and they all kept their heads down and did the job at hand, not to mention the subjects, who were quieter than the inspectors, and even breathed lightly.
Sai Tianbao sat quietly with a thermometer in his mouth, looking at the other subjects out of the corner of his eye. There are a full half fewer people to be examined today, and some are fresh faces that have not been seen before. Sai Tianbao didn't know how big the experimental base was or how many test subjects there were, but most of the time, the appearance of new faces meant that old test subjects were eliminated.
"Didi." The chirp of the thermometer sounded one after another in the examination room, and the inspectors registered the body temperature data one by one, and after the end of the body temperature measurement, they also needed to measure blood pressure and heart rate.
The whistling wails made the scalp tingle, and then someone pushed open the door of the examination room and shouted to the captain of the inspection team: "Subject 1703 is out of control, you guys come out to support first!" ”
The inspector immediately put down his work and ran out with the captain Hulala, leaving only one person to watch over the subjects.
Sai Tianbao stood in the corner, wordlessly hanging his head to look at his hands, and one of the test subjects behind him slowly changed positions, stood next to Sai Tianbao, and said softly, "Another batch went out a few days ago. ”
Sai Tianbao glanced at the inspectors who stayed behind, who were continuing to measure the blood pressure of the test subjects, and without paying attention to them, he pressed his throat and said 1500 to the test subjects next to him, "Released?" ”
The 1,500-headed man was short and concealed himself by the test subject in front of him, and he shook his head, his expression dark, "It seems to be to measure the effect of their abilities." He also lowered his voice, speaking quickly but clearly, "The day before yesterday, when I was doing 'treatment', I heard them say that the test subjects released were a little out of control, and two of them were missing, and it seemed that something big had happened......
"What's the big deal?"
"I didn't hear ......" 1500 pouted, sighed softly, looked around at the subjects who were either stiff or listening to him, intentionally or unintentionally, and closed their mouths.
Sai Tianbao thought of what happened in the hospital, and his heart moved, "If they are released, it means that the experiment has made great progress, right?" ”
"Hmm." 1500 nodded, and said nothing else, but Sai Tianbao knew what he was thinking.
When he first arrived at the experimental base four years ago, the research carried out by the group of madmen had already taken shape, and two years later, the researchers planned to let them exert their mental control over ordinary people in order to test their abilities and results, and transport Sai Tianbao and nine other test subjects out of the experimental base. At that time, Sai Tianbao, who had been trying to escape, and two other test subjects took advantage of that opportunity to work together to control the driver of the transport vehicle, but they did not expect that something went wrong and caused a major car accident, 8 test subjects died on the spot, only Sai Tianbao and 1500 were sent back to the experimental base and picked up a small life.
Since then, all subjects have been placed in quarantine and are forbidden to communicate.
The out-of-control subject was quickly brought under control, and the inspectors returned to the examination room, and twenty minutes later the centralized examination was over, and while the captain was reviewing the inspection data, a man with a square medal pinned to his chest walked in - the square means four poles, and the more strokes, the higher the rank, he listened to the captain's report, glanced around the test subject, and took all the people standing in the far row away.
They are going to be "treated".
1500 was impressively in the column, and when he walked past Sai Tianbao, 1500's hand behind his back waved lightly to Sai Tianbao. Sai Tianbao looked blankly ahead, with a face disguised as Mu Ne and Foolishness, and said goodbye to him silently.
///
At half past six in the morning, Lian Yu opened his eyes on time, and when he opened the door, he heard the milky meow of a cat.
"Cats?"
"Well, I don't know where it came from, it kept calling at the door of our house, as if it was close to me, and as soon as I opened the door, it came in and turned behind me." Even the mother came out of the kitchen, holding a small plate of milk in her hand, looking at the little milk cat looking up at her son, the picture was inexplicably warm.
Lian Yu wore a voice that had not fully awakened in the morning, "Stray cats? As he spoke, Lian Yu felt a small ball of fluff leaning against his feet and scratching his toes with his paws.
Meow twice.
"Pleasant, huh?" Even the mother's love for the little flower cat is overflowing, "This cat is in love with me, but it has a collar around its neck, eighty percent of it is someone else's cat, I will go to the neighborhood committee Director Zhang to ask in a while." ”
Lian's mother put the milk saucer on the ground, squatted next to the little flower cat to watch it lick the milk, and sent her son to wash, but Lian Yu walked away, and the cat actually threw down the fragrant milk and followed Lian Yu's footsteps into the bathroom.
"Lian Yu!"
Lian Yu's hand squeezing the toothpaste stiffened, "Sai Tianbao? ”
"That's right~"
Lian Yu wrinkled his face, feeling that Sai Tianbao had a strange ending in his speech today, he reached out and probed, but he couldn't touch Sai Tianbao.
"I'm at your feet~"
"Clams?" Lian Yu didn't understand until a fluffy touch touched his foot, and a fleshy little slap slapped him on the calf.
"You ......" Lian Rong held his forehead, "last time it was a dog, this time it was a cat, what will it be next time?" ”
"Next time, how do I know now~" Sai Tianbao didn't deliberately sell cuteness, but wanted to weaken his sense of existence through an intermediate, so as not to be sensed by other experimental subjects, and this intermediate happened to be a cat.
"Can you straighten your tongue and speak?"
"This cat is like this, the tongue is a little short, there is no way~"
Lian Yu was helpless, squeezed the toothpaste on the index finger of his right hand, rubbed it on the soft bristles of the toothbrush, took a glass of water, and began to wash. Seeing that he didn't care about himself, Sai Tianbao climbed onto the sink and inadvertently stepped on Lian Yan's towel, so Lian Rong almost swept Sai Tianbao to the ground when he was about to take the towel.
"My towel ——?"
"Here, this." Sai Tianbao hurriedly got out of the way, but Lian Yu still thought he was in the way, so he opened the door and let Sai Tianbao go out.
"Meow~?" Sai Tianbao turned his head to look at Lian's mother not far away, didn't dare to speak with a human voice, grabbed Lian Yan's slippers, raised his head and meowed, why did you drive me out?
Lian Yu held back a smile and pulled the cat off the slippers, "I want to pee." ”
Sai Tianbao immediately let go, returned to the living room, and licked his milk.
After washing, Lian Yu sat down at the table to eat breakfast, and Lian's mother stood in the entrance and prepared to go out.
"Ah, don't go for a walk today, don't leave the cat alone at home."
"It's okay," Lian Yan didn't care too much, and gently kicked the cat's butt with his foot, which was slapped away by Sai Tianbao, "I'll take it with me." ”
"Huh?" Even his mother asked him, "How do you bring it?"
"In your pocket." Lian Yu lowered his head and deliberately asked Sai Tianbao: "It understands human words and will be well-behaved, right?"
Sai Tianbao rolled his eyes in his heart, but still cooperated with the "meow~".
"You can do it yourself." Even his mother smiled, "I'm leaving." ”
"Stay safe and come back early."
"Okay."
As soon as the door closed, Sai Tianbao jumped up from the ground, jumped onto the stool, and climbed onto the table. ”
"Dead?!" Sai Tianbao's eyes widened, and his thin pupils expanded, reflecting Lian Yu's calm face.
Lian Yu nodded, after dinner yesterday, the night news broadcast reported that in the city's first hospital, a patient suddenly shouted several "fires", causing panic, and after inspection, there was no fire, but the patient suddenly fell to the ground and died-
Lian Yu then contacted Chang Xiaomei and learned that there was another case of suffocation without fire, and through Wen Tingyan, it was confirmed that the patient was the one he and Sai Tianbao met in the afternoon.
Is it a coincidence that two cases of fireless suffocation occurred next to Lian Yu?
"Are these fireless suffocations related to the 'control' you said?"
"Not sure." Sai Tianbao subconsciously wanted to deny it, and then remembered what 1500 said to him yesterday, a few experimental subjects were out of control outside and made a big incident. "But it's quite possible."
Sai Tianbao paced back and forth at the dinner table, his light steps silent, but every time he turned around, the cat's tail would sweep over the back of Lian Yu's hand. "It should be very likely~ Otherwise, I can't think of how to make a person feel that he has a fire on his body, and he is so real that he mistakenly thinks that he is indeed on fire, so that he suffocates to death...... After all, the fire caused by mental control can't cause burns~"
Lian Yu listened to Sai Tianbao's self-talking analysis while drinking soy milk, and waited for Sai Tianbao to stop talking before he spoke, "It's time for you to tell me in detail what you know." ”
"I don't know much more than you do." Sai Tianbao no longer walked back and forth, sat down, and the words spit out of the cat's mouth no longer had a thick milk sound, becoming serious and heavy.
"We, we're test subjects, I don't know who the lead is, and I don't know what this research wants to do, but we gradually have this kind of mind control ability, there are a lot of test subjects like us, I don't know how many there are, but a batch was released not long ago-"
"Released?"
"There's a few fewer people in the base." Sai Tianbao felt his throat tighten, and he swallowed, "They may have intentionally tried it on ordinary people, if the people who died of suffocation without fire were all because they were controlled, it means that the research was successful." ”
In fact, Saitianbao is also a successful test that can prove the level of research.
“......”
"Don't you believe it?" Seeing that Lian Yu didn't speak, Sai Tianbao asked him.
"Faith." Lian Yu pinched his eyebrows, "I'm just wondering if the words of the police will be believed." According to Sai Tianbao, this is the use of illegal experiments to kill indiscriminately.
"No, it won't." The cat whiskers on Sai Tianbao's face drooped down.
Lian Yan's fingers knocked unconsciously on the table, "What do these people want to do?" ”
"I said it, and I don't know much~"
"If you don't stop them from ......"
"Probably going on to die until someone stops them." Sai Tianbao stared at his cat's paws, the pink meat balls looked very cute, but the soft ones were hidden with sharp claws.
"Lian Yu ......"
"I can't stop them, I'm just blind, you know better than anyone else."
"But we are trapped in the experimental base, unable to contact the outside, and it is impossible for people outside to think that the truth is like this, and you are the only connection point between us and the outside.
Except for you, it's just you. ”
Lian Yu didn't speak. How did this happen to him, is it true, or is he crazy?
Sai Tianbao tilted his head, and from this angle, he could see Lian Yan's taut jawline, and his tightly pursed lips, and the Adam's apple on his neck slowly rose and fell with his breathing.
Sai Tianbao put his paw on the back of Lian Yu's hand, "I just want to beg you, save me." ”
