Chapter 1: The Beginning
The dimly lit research institute was in an eerie silence, and all that could be heard was the sound of human breathing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The power went out an hour ago, and the institute staff was repairing. At first, the dimly lit environment does not arouse physical and psychological fear.
But why is the backup power not energized?
This is something that everyone in the institute wonders about. As a large research institute, in order to ensure the smooth production of research results, the owner of the research institute will not allow such a phenomenon as a power outage.
No one knew what would happen and the main power supply of the 300-acre institute would be cut off for up to an hour.
At first people didn't care, but after a short minute, people realized the seriousness of the matter.
"Research Subject 8 has detached and entered a Level 5 security state, please keep all researchers on alert, security forces have intervened, please stay where you are and wait for rescue!"
There is more than one generator at the institute, and the largest generator is not working, but the power generation equipment of the communication facility is still operating stably.
The alarm lights kept flashing, and the flashing red lights in the dim environment were like the eyes of a ghost constantly sweeping on the faces of the personnel at various posts, and the oppressive breath made the air viscous.
Subject 8.
The name changed the faces of all the researchers present. A trace of nostalgia, a trace of regret, gradually turned into horror, and finally full of despair.
"Let me out, let me out, let me out!"
Some people couldn't bear it anymore and went from muttering to losing their minds.
This is a twenty-seven-year-old female researcher, who is not noticeable among many people, but her education is a doctorate. All of those present are highly educated, and all of them are elite talents in various fields. At this time, they were all gathered in this research institute, staring at the female researcher in the dim environment.
There was no one to stop it, and most people's eyes were full of indifference, and part of it was pity.
The female Ph.D. had just graduated and had been assigned here for less than three months, but she knew about Subject 8, and she had inadvertently clicked on the folder on her colleague's computer that said "8" and saw it "eating".
"Eating". Yes, there are no other words to describe it.
She pushed open the glass door of her office and ran outside.
Each office is separated by clear glass, which is carved with various lines, and when you look closely, there is a faint pattern.
Everyone in the office ran with her, their heads spinning like motion-sensing cameras, following the motion creature like maggots.
"It's a pity."
I don't know who said this in the same office with her, and it was very bright in the quiet environment. Everyone shook their heads, still quietly watching her run.
The transparent office is like a quarantine facility for zoo viewing, and the long corridor in the middle is like a throat under the flashing warning lights, and the red light keeps sweeping the ground, as if it is about to swallow people at any moment.
Finally arrived at the elevator entrance, and the female doctor kept pressing the elevator button. She knows that the backup power supply of the elevators is separate, and for safety reasons, all elevators in the institute are equipped with backup generators to ensure the safety of personnel.
But no one ran away with her. Why is that?
She kept thinking about it. But the horror in her heart did not allow her to take a step back.
The elevator seemed to go up for a century, and she remembered what had happened since she arrived at the institute, and the video. She had long felt that something was wrong here.
She hasn't been home since she got here. Her busy work every day made her not have the heart to think about it. Ever since she watched that video, she wanted to get out of here. But she found that she couldn't leave.
There were well-disciplined security guards here, and after seeing these security guards, she even suspected that these people were professional soldiers!
She's under house arrest, she can't get out of the building, she can't communicate with the outside world. Even, she can't say a word more to her colleagues!
These colleagues are like dead people, there is no trace of emotion in their eyes, they speak coldly, and they never say a word except for work matters.
She made a fuss and shouted, but no one responded.
Finally, one day, a leader of the institute found her, told her that she would earn 500,000 yuan a month, and knew her poor family situation, and agreed that she would go home once a year, otherwise, she would lose her job.
The temptation of money was huge, and she agreed, but the longer she stayed, the more she realized that there was something wrong with it, and the video.
"Ding......
The elevator finally opened, and she couldn't wait to walk in, pressing the button on the first floor, and as the elevator doors gradually closed, the researcher who was looking at her turned his head back and stayed quietly, like a group of walking corpses, and stopped all activity except breathing.
……
The elevator that keeps descending and the slight feeling of weightlessness does not affect the female doctor's eagerness to get out of here.
Hurry, hurry, hurry!
She was anxious, but the speed of the elevator seemed to her to be stagnant like a turtle.
She prayed that she would not be discovered by it, that she would leave, that she would leave this hellish place, that money would no longer dominate her, that fear would take over her weak body, and that her eyes would be full of flight.
She looked around in the elevator in a panic, her eyes kept glancing at the floor, and she suddenly skimmed to the mirror next to her, as if something was behind her!
"Ahh She hurriedly looked behind her.
Nothing.
It must have been that I was too nervous and hallucinating.
She comforted herself, trying not to panic so much, but she still involuntarily moved towards the corner of the elevator, leaning back against the elevator, looking for some security, but her brain still automatically remembered the content of the video.
……
"Subject 8, Test 16, Lead Researcher, Lin Zhen."
In front of the camera is a miserable white face, full of tired eyes revealing that he is different from others, and the whole face reveals an unhealthy whiteness, which is the product of staying up late and not seeing sunlight all year round.
At least not like a dead man.
This is the person who went to deliver the documents that time the female doctor, he was the chief researcher of this institute, she had not really met him, and the last time she went to deliver the documents, his office was five times larger than the office of her research area.
There was no one in the huge office, and it seemed that something had happened at that time, and everyone left in a hurry.
"You put the papers on the table and leave."
Still with such a cold tone and godless eyes, Lin Zhen's assistant left after speaking, and his steps were hurried.
……
Behind Zhang Zhen was a huge glass jar, and at a glance there was nothing.
He reached down and angled the camera, focusing it on the glass jar.
"Let's go."
In just two words, the other researchers were busy in front of the various devices.
Two staff members in protective suits walked into the camera carrying a cloth bag, opened the door of the huge glass jar, put the cloth bag inside, untied the end of the cloth bag as they left, tied it to the cloth bag with a syringe, and then sealed the glass jar.
In about ten seconds, the cloth bag began to move, and a man crawled out of it, his face was full of stubble, and his hands were attached to the glass jar.
However, this did not cause any emotional turmoil in the researchers.
In the corner of the camera, Lin Zhen can be seen nodding to another researcher, and then after the researcher operated on the keyboard, half of the bottom space of the huge glass jar opened, and something rose from the ground.
It's a person.
Rising from the ground, the man was dressed in tatters, sitting on a folding chair with his head bowed and his chest unrevisable.
The man who had been placed in the glass jar before saw the man rise, and he was even more frightened, smashing the glass jar desperately, his hands flushed, but the researchers did not react. Because of the soundproofing, you can't hear anything.
At this time, the glass jar was injected with white gas, and it soon turned white, and only the traces of the man's squeezed palm against the glass wall could be seen.
In less than ten seconds, suddenly the man stuck to the wall of the glass jar, as if he was being held up by something!
The pixels of the camera are very clear, and you can see that the man's whole person is pressed on it, his face is flattened, his eyes bulge out, and his eyes keep glancing back, full of fear.
Then the top of his head began to bleed, and from the top of his head, traces of being eaten could be seen, spreading from the top of his head, little by little!
At this time, the man was suddenly pulled into the white mist by a force, and suddenly he could only see the increasing blood stains on the glass wall.
At this time, the female doctor heard footsteps coming from outside the office, so she didn't look any further, and hurried away.
At this time, she was in the elevator and remembered this scene again, imagining the picture of the man being eaten little by little, and her heart became more and more panicked, and fear occupied her heart.
At some point, a faint mist slowly appeared in the elevator, showing a pale white.
At first she didn't notice it, but the fog was getting heavier, her eyes were cracking, her mouth was slightly open, and the fear had made her unable to control her facial muscles, and she began to twitch violently.
"I'm going out, let me out!"
She kept banging on the elevator door, looking at the elevator indication numbers from time to time.
She thought she was hallucinating.
Because from the moment she entered the elevator, she felt that today's elevator was surprisingly slow, like a snail. But the slight weightlessness made her feel that all this was real.
"Help me! Help me! ”
As the white mist gradually increased, the elevator still had no intention of stopping. I can't see the display numbers of the elevator anymore.
The empty elevator only emits the slight sound of cables rubbing against the elevator. The white mist is like a ghost floating in the elevator, like the fog of the early morning, blinding people's senses, letting the unknown fill people's hearts, and making fear gradually sprout.
At this time, she unnoticed the glass on her side, and this look scared her heart!
A broken face. The old skin is as dull as a centenarian, the right eye has no eyeballs, and the right side of the face seems to have been torn off by something, leaving only a large hole, and you can clearly see the tendons on the face and the flesh hanging on the chin, and you can see the dark teeth through the blasted face. The most frightening thing is the only left left eye, the pupil is actually yellow! It's full of resentment, and it's a terrible ghost who escapes from it!
The most desperate thing is that just as the female doctor looked in the mirror, the corners of this terrifying face withdrew a trace of arc, revealing a strange smile.
"Ah!!h
A scream is confined in this small elevator, like a ghost trapped in hell, wailing day and night, no one responds.
