- Dr. Isaha's memo (speech-to-text) -
A week ago, when they brought me the research materials left behind by the lab assistant at the second-rate university, I didn't take it seriously.
It took a few days before I opened it up on a leisurely afternoon with the mindset of watching a joke.
Then, I was stunned.
I almost peed my pants that afternoon, but I was so engrossed in reading the information that I completely lost track of time and even forgot to go to the bathroom.
Then I gathered the whole department to look at it, and then I ...... Not surprisingly, my team and I were both very traumatized psychologically.
There is no doubt that those of us have always prided ourselves on being elites, and there are many so-called high-IQ prodigies who were admitted to universities at the age of fourteen or fifteen.
Being recruited by EF confirmed that we are the dragon and phoenix among people, and that we are the best scientists of our time.
But after reading the research materials left by the "perverted Mr. criminal", I understood that I was just a mortal, a pathetic, arrogant mortal.
If he's the kind of guy who can build an ark reactor out of a few broken copper and iron in a cave, then we're a bunch of waste who spend a lot of money in a lab and only produce garbage.
After realizing this, I was relieved, and I decided to roast the octopus in a beaker every day from today onwards, and use test tubes as a seasoning to live for the rest of my life.

- Colonel Planck's diary (note: due to Colonel Planck's insistence on keeping the diary on paper instead of using electronic documents, we were able to salvage only some incomplete contents after the fire) -
(Date and beginning have been burned)
Isaha has gone crazy, I thought he was just joking when he first started grilling octopus, but then he actually went to ...... (here the paper is charred and illegible) Subject steals it out quietly, intending to make it into a dish.
We had no choice but to lock him up.
His psychological evaluation will decide his fate, and I think the results will be available within forty-eight hours.
(This place was burned by fire, a section is missing)
…… None of the guys in the lab have been normal lately.
I don't know them well because I hate nerds, but a lot of them have been doing some weird things lately, and it's hard not to take them seriously.
Just this morning, a bald man in a white lab coat touched me behind with a scalpel, and I swore that if I hadn't heard the footsteps in time and turned back immediately, he would have raised his hand to wipe my neck; Although he hadn't raised his hand yet, the murderous aura couldn't escape the eyes of a man like me, who had been in battle for a long time.
I had to find out what was going on in the lab as soon as possible, and even though I had always found EF a creepy place since I was transferred, this time it was ...... (The bottom is burned).

-- Colonel Burgess's internal briefing --
The previous incident report has been archived to the B-class file [Accident21890904] and will not be repeated here.
Personally, I regret the death of Colonel Planck.
Since the former factory manager, Li Jia, has now resigned, I have now taken over EF's security authority and am also serving as the interim factory director.
From now on, all the affairs and processes of all departments need to be reported to me, and I will command and coordinate them in a unified manner.
Extraordinary times, extraordinary rules, please be sure to cooperate.

——Accident21890904 (a text report generated by the system itself based on the real-time images transmitted to the cloud by all the smart probes of Facility 1)——
09:35, Main Laboratory, 2455 B-level researchers, 1713 B-level researchers, and 0923 B-level researchers use laboratory equipment to prepare unidentified mixtures.
At 09:48, Scientist B-Class 0923 began spraying the various monitoring probes in the main laboratory with canned hair dye, during which the monitoring system automatically sent a voice warning to the main laboratory and notified the security department.
At 09:50, two security personnel arrived, but were unable to open the main laboratory door or communicate with internal personnel.
At 09:53, Colonel Planck made his way to the hallway outside the door of the main laboratory and issued a final warning to the three personnel inside the door along with six security personnel who had arrived one after another.
At 09:54, Colonel Planck initiated emergency procedures with A-Class clearance, and the system forced the door to open the laboratory. After the door opened, three humanoid unidentified creatures about three meters tall burst out of the laboratory and got into a physical altercation with security personnel, during which six security personnel and two unidentified creatures were killed instantly, and Colonel Planck was slightly wounded, and the remaining unidentified creature was pursued.
At 09:59, the unidentified creature approached the subject's warehouse in the shortest possible way, causing eleven more security personnel to be killed or injured on the way.
At 10:07, the unidentified creature broke into the test subject's warehouse and passed the verification of the DNA clearance of B-class personnel, unlocking all petri dishes, closed bins, cells, and other captivity equipment that can be unlocked at this level.
At 10:08, the system issued an evacuation alert to all units on the ground and ground of Facility 1.
At 10:09, Colonel Planck joined up with all remaining security personnel at the base to block the exit from the test subject's warehouse.
At 10:12, some subjects began to breach Class-A captivity equipment, while others began to storm the exit.
At 10:15, multiple damage to armor plates was detected inside the base, as well as multiple structural damage, with a 96% chance of being caused by the ability of the subject (shielded).
At 10:17, all probes inside the physical warehouse were destroyed, the exits were breached, and a large number of high-risk test subjects poured out.
At 10:20, Colonel Planck and all security personnel were killed, and the last probe in the corridor of the area was destroyed.
At 10:22, the damage rate at the base spike, and several fire fighting systems were triggered or destroyed.
At 10:28, all signals are lost.

-- Chief Burgess's memo (speech-to-text) --
As of yesterday, the investigation and the finishing touches were almost complete.
The FCPS has also raised "pharmacist" to a higher wanted level...... Yes, now that kid has a nickname...... But that's not the point.
This pharmacist is really smart, and he can be said to have put us in the same position, oh no...... I hadn't come to EF yet, so he was just putting someone else in the picture, and it had nothing to do with me.
In short, after an inspection by the technical department, the cause of the incident has become clear: it turns out that the kid has hidden a hand of "anti-theft measures" in his research materials.
It was a simple little program, not a computer virus, and it was encapsulated in a very common copycat office software, which served as a medium for storing and opening data, so the firewall would not react to it at all.
As for the effect of that applet...... It's a trick like "hypnosis" or "psychological suggestion".
When someone watches the research material, the applet will project some images with "suggestive information" onto the screen at a certain frequency; These images are translucent and appear for only a few milliseconds at a time, and a normal person would not even be aware that they have flashed when viewed with the naked eye.
However, as the time of watching is long, the images slowly accumulate frame by frame, which will have an impact on the person and implant all kinds of crazy thoughts in the viewer's mind.
And we all know that the people in the laboratory are basically studying the information left by the pharmacist day and night, so they ...... They have all been affected to varying degrees, and their performance is also different.
Truth be told, if each of them were like Dr. Isaha, it would have been fine, but unfortunately, some of the three of them had concocted something "new" in a state of insanity, which caused the "accident".
The good news is that the mixture was concocted under the watchful eye of the probe, and the new team is already restoring and searching for test subjects to experiment with...... It's a blessing in disguise to be able to get this recipe.
Right now, although the technical department has removed the "anti-theft measures" that the pharmacist left in that document, the researchers in the laboratory are crazy and dead, and I have to find someone again, pull a team, and rebuild the scientific department of EF.
And as far as I know, the best scientist of this era, on this planet, is a guy who is as "crazy" as a pharmacist.
That is, my old classmate...... Dr. Victor Franklin.
A man who is an "incapacitated", but is still imprisoned in the Nine Prisons.
I think, with his IQ, he can definitely guess...... I was the one who put him in prison and got promoted and made a fortune because of it; Now the question is, will he come out and help me again for the sake of the conditions I have given him?
