Chapter 5: Dreams and Reality
Tang Shao woke up, looked at TR001 with a flushed face, and called it a beauty in his heart, thinking about what happened last night, he couldn't help but be happy. Completely forget that there is such an existence as a spring dream in the world.
"Sir, your breakfast is ready." TR001 gestured to a plate placed in front of the bed.
Tang Shao was still immersed in the good memories of last night, and wanted to sit up from the bed directly with a carp, but immediately found a sense of weakness accompanied by pain all over his body. Tang Shao suddenly wondered: "Why was I so good when I did that last night, but now that I have returned to my old self, it seems that hormones are more suitable for my body recovery." ”
TR seemed to see Tang Shao's intentions, and helped Tang Shao to sit up very intimately, and then took the cup to Tang Shao's mouth and said: "Please drink, sir, don't be too anxious, you can't be too anxious about recovery treatment, yesterday was the first day, and physical discomfort is inevitable." ”
"That kind of exercise last night, I guess a man would be tired and half dead." Tang Shao said with a wicked smile on his face.
TR didn't say anything more with a nonchalant smile.
Tang Shao began his life of exercising in the gym during the day and in bed at night, at least he thought so. And TR seems to be always by his side, from day to night, even if he is away for no more than ten minutes. It's just that this is just Tang Shao's self-righteousness.
This kind of self-belief lasted until a dozen days later, in the middle of the night, Tang Shao was awakened by a soak of urine. In a daze, he reached out and touched it, and found that there was no one around. Slightly awake, he opened his eyes and looked to his side, to find that the side of the bed was empty, and his vision was only a ray of light coming in through the crack in the closed door.
"Beauty No. 1?" Tang Shao tried to scream, but there was no response in the empty room. Tang Shao listened carefully for a while, and found that not only was there no sound inside the house, but even the outside of the house was quiet.
Tang Shao got out of bed, poked his head out of the crack in the door and looked out, and found that there was no one under the bright light outside, and some were only a few jars quietly arranged around the room by the wall, and at this time, those jars were covered with white cloth, and it was impossible to see what was inside.
Tang Shao seemed to see an opportunity to escape from Ascension, and he slipped out of the door quickly and lightly with his legs that had just recovered from serious injuries.
Tang Shao ran around the hall and found many doors, but none of them could be opened. Just as he was about to fall into despair again, a small door opened. In the quiet of the room, the lock of the induction door is opened with a crisp "click". Tang Shao was so frightened that his neck tingled, and he hurriedly got under the cover of a large jar beside him.
"Hurry up and look for it, if Professor Ouyang finds out that you don't have any equipment, you will be miserable. Even I can't eat and walk around. A voice with some vicissitudes of life said.
"Senior brother, don't scare me, isn't Professor Ouyang good-tempered?" This is the voice of a woman who is still a little immature.
"Good temper? You haven't seen Professor Ouyang lose his temper. When it comes to TR projects, Professor Ouyang will not be lenient. He's so powerful that even those in the Security Department are afraid. Especially last time, Xie You, the captain of the security department, angered Professor Ouyang, and he was honest when he was glared at by Professor Ouyang. The man said in a tone of telling ghost stories to children, and that tone made even Tang Shao, who was hiding in the shadows, stand on end.
"Oh, senior brother, don't scare me, I'm cowardly." The woman seemed to want to ease her fears in this way of speaking, but her own already trembling voice only made the atmosphere even more eerie.
"Found it." The woman said with some excitement, as if she had escaped some catastrophe.
"Let's go back quickly."
Then the footsteps of the two people quickly left.
“TR? Could it be that the No. 1 beauty is also a member of this project team? It's still a No. 1, so it must be a big leader. Tang Shao thought back to what he heard from those two mouths, and couldn't help but muttered to himself.
Tang Shao, who was immersed in his own thoughts, turned around carelessly, raised his eyelids slightly, and was immediately frightened by what was in front of him. This is not an exaggerated analogy, this is what happened at that time, Tang Shao's not long hair was lying on his scalp most of the time, and in the past, his hair would only become fluffy due to messiness after getting up, but this time it was neatly opened. He wanted to run away immediately, but found that one of his legs had failed, and the whole person stood there as steadily as a sculpture.
Tang Shao slowly woke up from the dizziness of the whirlwind and shook his hand vigorously, as if he was still conscious. The pounding heartbeat also reminded him that he wasn't dead yet.
He closed his eyes and gasped for air, trying to calm his nerves. His heartbeat was slightly steady, and Tang Shao opened his eyes again. He saw what was in front of him again, and this time because he was prepared, he didn't have the feeling of being scared to death like last time.
When he was lying in the hospital room, he could see the jars every day, but he didn't really see them at the time. He could only imagine the horror of the contents of the jar countless times, which is why he didn't lift the covers in the first place after entering this place. But it turned out that his imagination was still a little conservative.
The jar was filled with a yellow liquid, which was similar in color to the nutrient solution he drank every day, except that the liquid was lighter in color. Suspended in the fluid was a metallic bone, the appearance of which was wrapped in a mess of blood vessels and mottled flesh.
A blue light came in through the bottom of the jar, and Tang Shao could vaguely see the internal organs within this bone, especially the heart that was red and a little purple, causing the surrounding blood vessels to tremble with every beat. After watching it for a long time, Tang Shao even felt that the rhythm of his heartbeat was synchronized with the heart in the jar.
Tang Shao's horror did not stop because of this. He tilted his head slightly to look at the man's head, where the brain should have been. Tang Shao was ready to see bare brains when he looked over, although he knew it would be a super disgusting thing, he still looked at it. To Tang Shao's surprise, what he saw was a metal brain. The brain glowed with a slight white light, and it looked shiny.
"Holy! No way! ......" Tang Shao was so nervous that he couldn't speak, so he could only scold so aimlessly.
People are afraid that they will become angry when they reach the extreme, and at this time, Tang Shao has already reached this extreme.
The angry Tang Shao finally moved his legs, and he crawled out of the hood. Thinking back to what he had just seen, he couldn't help but feel nausea again, and a spicy stomach acid spurted out of his mouth. Tang Shao clenched his fists and slammed them into the floor, and his fists immediately swollen. The pain in his heart finally calmed his frightened brain a little.
Tang Shao, who had calmed down, slowly got up, looked at the jars around him under the white cloth again, and counted silently in his heart: "One, two, three...... Sixteen. ”
He didn't want to, and didn't dare to look at them one by one, and fear made him naturally believe that these jars must be filled with such things.
The lights in the hall flickered suddenly for some reason, and Tang Shao almost collapsed to the ground again in fright. As he looked at the jars again, he felt them shake slightly, as if the things lying inside were struggling. He instinctively ran to the door where the two men had just gone out, hoping that the door was still open. He rushed over, and the door was literally slammed open by him. But because of the force he exerted, he fell heavily to the ground, and almost lost his breath.
The door behind him slammed shut again. Tang Shao, who was dizzy from the fall, looked up and found that he was in a corridor, the corridor was arc-shaped, and disappeared from sight a little farther away.
The quiet corridor was restored, and it was dark again after a while. Tang Shao, who fell into the darkness, only felt nervous for a moment before realizing that it might be the voice-activated light in the corridor that went out, so he coughed lightly again, and the corridor lit up.
"Damn, what are you afraid of? Break out and you're free! Tang Shao scolded to himself, then got up from the ground, closed his eyes, took two big breaths, and walked towards the depths of the corridor.
There were glass windows on the doors on both sides of the corridor, and there were black holes inside, as if the black was also a kind of light, and the corridor was also dark.
"What the hell is this place, not even a person. The two people just now were ......" Tang Shao walked forward and muttered to himself in a low voice, but as he spoke, he said something more terrifying, Tang Shao was so angry that he slapped himself in the mouth, and then muttered: "Phew! Where there are ghosts, if there are ghosts, will I also die...... "I used to hear others say that he had a crow's mouth, and he didn't think it was a little bit of a believer at this time, and he felt that the more he said, the more in line with the current facts."......
Tang Shao, who was talking to himself, was quiet again, and he finally saw a door with a light on. Tang Shao hurriedly tiptoed against the wall, and then tiptoed towards the door of the lighted room.
He cautiously leaned against the glass of the door and looked out into the room.
"Damn, it turns out that people are lazy here." The whole building looks like a ghost town on the outside, but inside this small room, it looks like a market.
Seeing so many people, Tang Shao finally let go of the heart hanging in his throat, at least the scene in front of him could explain some things, and he could get his mind out of the supernatural track.
Then he thought of one of his own neighbor uncles. That man's job is to show the door of a certain state-owned enterprise, and sometimes he is too bored at night, so he will take him there to relieve his boredom. The unit was huge, and it was a little scary to be empty at night, but there was always one room that was particularly lively. That room was the secret gambling game that their unit had openly opened, and every night, the people in the unit would play two games in the name of the night shift, and later there were even people from outside the unit to play. Therefore, he looked at the people in the room with their backs to him, and suddenly felt a sense of intimacy.
He twisted the doorknob and found that it was unlocked, so he walked straight inside. This room is also divided into two parts, separated by a glass wall in the middle, and the glass wall has several cracks for some unknown reason. All the people in the room were crammed into the inner side, behind the glass wall, densely packed around something.
"Sure enough, I guessed correctly, it must be a card table inside." Tang Shao thought to himself, and walked towards the crowd. When Tang Shao got closer and closer to the crowd, he felt that something was wrong.
The people in the room are roughly divided into two floors. In the middle of the crowd were a few people in white coats, they were engrossed in what they were doing, and they were discussing a few words from time to time, but because of the glass wall, Tang Shao couldn't hear what they were saying at all. Outside the crowd were a number of well-armed men with weapons of all kinds. As a hardcore shooter player, Tang Shao was familiar with some of these weapons, but there were also a few strange-looking weapons that he had never seen. They were all nervously holding their guns, and the muzzles of the guns were pointed at the people inside.
"Damn, is this going to be shot?" Suddenly realizing that he seemed to have walked into a strange place, Tang Shao hurriedly leaned down and hid in front of a computer desk with small steps.
Major General Tang's eyes exposed the computer desk, but his vision was tightly obscured by a dense figure. He looked up slightly and saw that the monitor in front of him was still on, and it was an image of another room. He could also see that the dense crowd was surrounding a person, who was tied to an inclined bed with a shiny probe stuck in her head. But before he could be afraid, he was immediately attracted by the man's face. That face was all too familiar to him, it was the face of the first beauty.
Tang Shao couldn't help but gasp, and his back felt a chill again. He twisted his thighs hard to calm his brain. But at this time, the brain seemed to be numb, and the pain was completely unfelt.
"What kind of place is this!" His eyes were fixed on the number one beauty on the screen. Grief, anger, fear, and doubt rushed into Tang Shao's brain together. He felt like his head was about to explode.
Suddenly, Tang Shao felt that the beauty's eyes seemed to move, and his brain suddenly calmed down, the feeling came suddenly, but because it was not a negative emotion, there was not much discomfort, but it felt very comfortable in an instant.
Tang Shao leaned his head in the direction of the computer again, wanting to confirm that it was not his illusion, but the eyes suddenly opened, and those eyes stared straight in the direction of the camera, as if she could see herself through the screen. But that gaze was not smart, but made people feel very gentle, and Tang Shao couldn't help but fall into it.
Without warning, Tang Shao gradually felt a wave of dizziness, and just before he fell, he faintly heard a faint noise coming from the room, followed by several gunshots......
