Midai Ono felt that she would never forget this underground laboratory hidden in a common school on the seaside, and she had seen many torture places in the cells of the Political Security Bureau, the torture cells of the secret services, and other chaotic intelligence agencies, but none of them made her feel as terrified from the bottom of her heart as she did now.

Marina is a seaside city, and the humid moisture brought by the Pacific Ocean moistens every inch of the land. Tang Qiao led her down through the secret door of the storeroom, the wooden staircase could not withstand the moisture, and it didn't take long for it to break, so the stone staircase was replaced with a stone staircase. Slippery moss grew on one side of the stone staircase, as if the sound of water droplets echoed faintly from the depths of the underground laboratory.

Tang Qiao gave his forearm to Ono Meidai, and said with concern: "It's a little slippery, Secretary Ono be careful." ”

They reached the end of the stairs, where two heavily armed soldiers checked Ono's papers, and then worked together to push the iron door open. The dazzling white light pierced from behind the iron door, and Midai Ono reflexively squinted her eyes while raising her hand to block the white light, and then saw a seven or eight-year-old girl through her fingers.

A naked girl, soaked in a giant formalin glass bucket. Her skin was covered with eschar of maculopapular rashes and ulcers, her chest and abdomen were completely open, and swollen and necrotic lymph nodes and kidneys were plucked out and floated silently beside her.

For several minutes, Ono could not feel her torso or limbs at all, and her eyes covered her hands as if they were not her own flesh, but a stiff piece of wood. She stared at the child through her fingers, and the child's upper and lower eyelids were turned up, and the eyeballs were wobbly embedded in their sockets, as if staring at her.

The demon's voice came from behind the cartridge, like the sound of a rusty blunt iron grinding a stone. Ono couldn't hear what the voice was saying, only the white figure refracted on the transparent medicine cartridge, which was distorted by the liquid medicine and the curved glass, like the most terrifying youkai when the hundred ghosts walked at night.

Someone was pulling her arm and pulling the stiff piece of wood off her. The sense of security obscured by her fingers was gone, and the most brutal scenes in hell were unabashedly exposed to her. The person pulling her arm was saying, "Secretary Ono, why are your hands so cold?" ”

She stood stiff in place, feeling every pore on her body tighten, all the hairs exploding, goosebumps all the way to her face, and under the pressure of the suffocation, her completely stopped brain began to work, making her react that in the few minutes she had even forgotten to breathe.

Ono opened her mouth and gasped slightly, the heavy smell of medicine and blood mixed in the air, rushing into the alveoli. She shuddered violently, as if it wasn't the child who was soaking in formalin, it was herself.

The demon came from among the hundred ghosts and invited her to go to hell, the boiling magma crashed against the rocks, countless human bones beat the human skin drum, and the resentful spirits trapped here struggled and screamed in mid-air, the voice was laughing, and the breath was full of bone-eating and flesh-eating rotting breath: "You are the first guest since the construction of this place, Secretary Ono, welcome to the most sacred laboratory of the Empire." ”

A human hand grabbed her wrist through her clothes, as if tearing open her chest and holding her heart, dragging her into the halls of hell.

"Please relay to Consul Sukawa what we are doing, this is a work that should go down in history because it is studying the greatest subject on this planet - people."

He said as he pulled Ono towards the depths of the lab, but she froze and slammed to the ground under his tug. She felt like a doll that had been smashed to the ground, her torso shattered and her limbs scattered.

The man grabbed one of her hands, and his tone was full of pleasant malice: "What's wrong with Secretary Ono, can't he be frightened...... It is true that this is not the place where a young lady like you should be, but thank you for coming, otherwise who would have to rely on us to preach and remember the great work we have done? ”

He roughly lifted Ono from the ground and dragged her around the first cartridge with great interest: "We are conducting research on typhus, which is the most comprehensive database of typhus, and all the symptoms of the disease from the onset to the different stages are all reflected here, and no one on the whole planet knows more about the disease than we do, and we have even refined its causative agent." ”

The demon winked slyly at her, triumphant: "Its power can even surpass that of a hot weapon, this is a plague, dear Miss Secretary, we have never heard of any weapon that can slaughter the people of a city, but the plague can, and the research we have conducted will help the Great Japanese Empire achieve the greatest victory as quickly as possible, we!" is the biggest hero of this war! ”

Ono was carried by him through every room of the underground laboratory, taking her back and forth through countless screams and screams, and all the bloody test benches. The scene here completely shattered her most brutal imagination of war, a scene that should not exist in the human world, a scene of evil that all the myths and legends of mankind have since its inception cannot describe. The owner of the laboratory was very satisfied with her reaction, and he handed Ono Maida to Tang Qiao, and patted her on the shoulder with triumph and contempt: "Go and enjoy the sunshine on the ground, miss, remember that every inch of sunshine you enjoy is earned for you by people like me." ”

The iron gates of hell were closed before her, and all sins and misfortunes were shut inside. Tang Qiao half-helped and half-mopped her to the ground, and the cold winter sun couldn't bring any warmth, and she regained her limbs, feeling that her body was disgusting.

"You now know what we're doing," Tang Qiao's polite tone concealed schadenfreude malice, "please report it truthfully to Consul Qichuan, and if she wishes, the whole lab is eager for her to come and inspect our work in person." ”

She opened her mouth, thinking that she had made a voice: "How many such laboratories are there in the whole country, in the whole of China?" ”

Tang Qiao approached her suspiciously: "What did you say?" ”

"All China ......" She mobilized the strength of her whole body and raised her voice to say this, but Tang Qiao still didn't hear clearly, Ono Meidai felt that she had shouted through her throat, but in Tang Qiao's ears, it was still an inaudible sob.

"How many labs like this, and how many people are doing such things!" Ono asked this sentence with all her might, and the strong smell of blood filled her mouth, and her heart seemed to shrink into a hard stone, and all the blood was squeezed out.

"Ah, the main research base is in Manchuria," Tang Qiao finally heard her question clearly, and replied nonchalantly, "The local laboratories are all small projects, and the results of experiments and research are regularly summarized to Lieutenant General Ishii. ”

Ono stood in front of the warehouse, the shrill bell in the campus rang again, and at 9:15 in the morning, she faced the lead-colored cloud-covered sky and said to Tang Qiao: "You people will go to hell." ”

Tang Qiao laughed, shaking his head while laughing: "No, Secretary Ono, our research will benefit countless juniors, and they will use our research results as the basis for deeper and greater research." We're not going to hell, we're going to heaven, and then the whole world is going to benefit from the experiments we're doing, and they're going to remember us and thank you for every study we've done. ”

The convoy of the consulate's inventory work left Yuxian College, and Midai Ono arrived in a menacing manner, but when she left, she was like a lost dog. She curled up in the back seat of the carriage, unable to get the hell out of her mind, no matter whether she opened or closed her eyes.

Instead of returning to the consulate, she got off the bus halfway and disappeared for the next day and a half, as if she had evaporated from the sea. Before she set off for Yuxian Academy, she agreed with Lu Peiming that no matter what news she got in the academy, she would inform him as soon as possible. But now she has completely disappeared along with the news.
