Chapter 280: Taboo
Entering the experimenter's dormitory area, Meng Xuan saw the rows of large iron doors full of complex ritual formations again, and with his memory, he found the door of the room in the middle and lower section that the crystal card could open, and pasted the crystal card on the formation node.
Airplanes!!
The complex lines on the door slowly lit up, and began to flicker regularly, undergoing a transformation between virtual and real.
This time, instead of stretching out his frightened pale arm from the door like last time, Meng Xuan stepped straight into the room.
The furnishings in the room were the same as when he first entered, very simple, and Meng Xuan's gaze swept across the room, stopping at the two ceremonies in the corner.
Toilet Ritual and Bathing Ritual ·····
Now that he has a relatively rich knowledge of rituals, he tried to decipher the other rituals in the room, and finally found that although it was just an ordinary experimenter's room, the secrecy level of the ritual formation was still very high, because after all, this was a top-level laboratory involving many secrets, and it was impossible to completely break it with his current ritual level.
The rituals of the entire experimental base should all originate from a core center, that is, the "mother" ritual, and all other rituals are "son" rituals connected to the mother, destroying and cracking any "sub" ritual, will cause the reaction of the "mother" ritual, causing early warning, defense, attack, item self-destruction and other effects, if you want to really crack the sub-ritual, you must trace back to the source, and crack the "mother" ritual that is in the core center and has a very high personality, which is completely beyond his ability.
The Nelson civilization is worthy of being all top-level "programmer apes······
Meng Xuan couldn't help but sigh heartily and shook his head, giving up the idea of cracking these rituals to open the storage facilities in the room.
Finally, he returned his gaze to the journal on his desk.
It was probably the only thing he could get useful information in the room.
What exactly happened in the period of time that occurred in the lab disaster?
Meng Xuan picked up the diary, carefully opened it, and carefully turned the dry and yellowed pages, at that time, because of the urgency of time, and at the same time he was more anxious, so he skipped most of the content, and specifically looked for the content that contained the words "wisdom bestowing ceremony" to read, so in fact, he didn't figure out most of the contents of the diary.
Later, because of the approach of the Nine Lives Palace patrol team, most of his energy was focused on the translation and research of the experimental records, and he neglected the translation of the diary, and later, he left Shahe City and only came back now.
Now, he started from the beginning, picked up the previous sections, and continued reading.
"On January 10, 197 in the Pale Calendar, after three days of hard adaptation, I finally withstood the test of Mr. Bolangner, succeeded in stabilizing my will, and the 'Assimilation Observation' team accepted me, and after signing a series of confidentiality agreements, they finally gave me my first official assignment, thanks to the gift of the Seventy-two Pillars! I can finally earn 'zero points' quickly in exchange for the Giving Ritual! ”
"I asked Arcanasaro, who came half a month earlier than me, about the content of the work, and she just shook her head and told me to be mentally prepared and control my emotions, after the first work, it is best to go to the clean room to do a spiritual purification, and then do a period of repentance, carefully examine my mind, and make sure that there is nothing abnormal before starting the next work."
"To be honest, her tepid words are more terrifying than telling me the truth, this guy is such a character, always a little bad taste, the first time he entered the dormitory, this guy hid in the bed with an alien body mask, it really scared me, until now I can still remember the feeling of fear at that time, and I can still hear her laughing heartily!!"
“······”
Meng Xuan continued reading and found some information.
"Arcana Sara, her roommate? Could it be the dried corpse? ”
Meng Xuan touched his chin and guessed in his heart.
"Damn!! Although I have seen the catalogue and photos, and I have been mentally prepared for the experiments in the laboratory, I am still scared when I actually witness those existences, no, I am scared silly! I didn't do any of the work, just trembling and following behind Arcana Sara, like an ostrich. ”
"Our job is to feed those disgusting test subjects and record some signs and data related to them!! Just looking at the rotten, buried, twisted, fluid-spilled, chaotic monsters trapped in the green solution of the incubator by the powerful ritual chains, I felt like my head was about to explode, and a wave of instinctive fear, trembling, and chaos poured into my mind, and even the light of the 'Holy Talisman' could not be stopped! Spend a few more moments in that room, and I feel like I'm going to be alienated, and I'm completely like them! ”
"I couldn't work all day back, I spent the whole day in dizziness, vomiting and trembling, but luckily Arcana sara sent me into the purification room, and the baptism of the Holy Radiance made me feel a little warm······"
"Arcana saro said to me, if you can't bear it, give up, in this whole test base filled with terror pollution and power, any negative emotions will be amplified by the wireless, and eventually erode personal reason, break a certain string in human life, and then lead to alienation, in that way, not only will I not earn any zero points, but I may also lose my life."
"The team members gave me a comprehensive psychological evaluation, and the result was not a pass, and the group administrator talked to me, saying that if my emotions could not return to normal within three days, I would have to withdraw from the experimental group, otherwise there would be a great risk of alienation······"
"To be honest, I hesitated, I never wanted to face those unspeakable, horrible, filthy monsters again, and the thought that they might have been the same as me once made my stomach feel extremely uncomfortable."
“······”
Meng Xuan continued to read the diary carefully, and from the diary, he knew that the owner of the diary was indeed just a relatively low-level experimenter, doing the most basic chores, such as feeding the experimental subjects, recording and entering basic data, etc., but it was such basic work, which was very difficult for them.
Meng Xuan deeply understood this, not to mention those alien bodies, even if it was himself, when he first awakened his extraordinary powers, he didn't know how to control them, even ordinary people who witnessed them fighting would fall into chaos and distortion, not to mention the diary master who had been in this environment for a long time and directly witnessed a large number of alien bodies.
"On January 13, 197 in the Pale Calendar, the deadline arrived, and after three days of struggle, I finally chose to stay, and it took so much money to get this opportunity and join Research Institute Zero, if I didn't get anything, I didn't even know how to go back to see Frege, and, even if it wasn't for my guilt, even if it was for Andrew, I had to persevere, Bona, you can!"
"Arcanasaro taught me some methods of self-emotional hypnosis, which allowed me to successfully pass the psychological assessment, and I ended up staying······"
Reading this, even Meng Xuan couldn't help but feel a little pity for this selfless mother.
Next, Meng Xuan saw this mother called "Bona" from the diary, struggling in the research institute step by step, and in the next few months, she spent her days walking on thin ice, spending time in fear, nightmares and strong emotional restraint, she saw the alienation and madness of ordinary researchers similar to her one after another, if it weren't for Arcanasaro who often gave her some psychological counseling, she would have been like those other ordinary researchers a long time ago.
At the same time, from the few words described in her diary, Meng Xuan also learned something about the woman named Akana Sara.
In Bona's description, Arcana Sara's personality is very elusive, and the other party never tells her about her origin and purpose for coming, and Pona is not easy to inquire, because everyone who is willing to come to such a ghost place will probably have some difficult places to speak.
Arcana Sara has a tough personality, a cold appearance, and does not have a good relationship with other researchers, and does not like to socialize with people, only Bona knows that she is a cold-faced person, but she also has bad personalities, such as occasionally doing some more excessive pranks, and then letting out maddening laughs.
But throughout, Bona felt that Arcana Sara was the most sane of all ordinary researchers, and she always seemed to be able to keep her composure in front of those crazy monsters, which made Bona feel that the other party must have a deep obsession in her heart and be able to resist the madness spread by those monsters.
Meng Xuan flipped through the pages one by one, and quickly filtered out some cumbersome content in the middle, because the other party was just an ordinary researcher, so all the materials and information he came into contact with were relatively low-end, there was not too much secret, and the work was repeated day after day, and even the members of the real experimental group rarely came into contact with it.
It can be seen from the words and sentences in the diary that Bona is sometimes emotionally unstable, and some of the words are full of despair, irritability, and hysteria, and Meng Xuan suddenly understood the reason why she wrote the diary.
She seems to want to vent all her negative emotions into her diary, which may help her stabilize her emotions.
The diary was flipped back, about three months or so, Bona successfully saved enough zero points, and exchanged it for the wisdom bestowing ceremony she wanted from the seventh-level citizen gentleman, it can be seen from the fragment of the diary that Bona's heart was completely filled with joy at that time, her heart was full of longing, and ambition, she was able to earn so many zero points in just three months, and if she worked for a while, she might be able to earn more?
But it was at this time that some anomalies finally appeared in the laboratory.
"Oh my God! Today, all employees were notified that they had to stay in their rooms and couldn't go anywhere, and the center directly cut off the ceremony of the room door, and we couldn't even get out! Around noon, we felt a violent tremor, like a huge earthquake, which lasted for about ten minutes or more! I was so scared that I couldn't help but hug Arcana Saro, who seemed as calm as ever, even a little distracted, not knowing what to think. ”
"Thankfully, in the evening, the ban was lifted, which means nothing devastating happened."
"The next day, the work continued as always, but today was a little different, all the aliens were full of aggression, I don't know if it had something to do with the vibration that day, I quietly asked someone to find out the news, they told me that it was okay, and said that this is a good thing, the experiment of the center has made a breakthrough, this time it is a major breakthrough."
"I'm going to be skeptical, I found that over the next few days, the number of anomalies in the lab I manage is rapidly decreasing, and a large number of them will be transferred away every once in a while, and I don't know what to do with them, but my work is quiet and seems to be doing well. It's just that the lockdowns and vibrations have become more frequent, but through the occasional opportunity to meet Mr. Brownner and the other full members of the group, I have found that they all have joy on their faces, and perhaps, the experiment has been a success. ”
"Maybe if it succeeds, the lab will be shut down, and I'll lose a good place to make a lot of money, oh! What am I thinking, I actually have this idea for a little personal benefit, I should pray that the experiment will be successful, and this strife will end sooner, too many people have died on the battlefield of the two realms, I am ashamed of my evil thoughts, maybe this is because the pollution seems to have increased recently? Sometimes I even feel like I can't control my emotions, and I can't help but start to look at myself. ”
"I whispered to Acarna Salo and asked her if she thought the experiment was successful and meaningful, and I was a little surprised by her answer."
"They are touching the 'taboo,' she said."
When she said this, there was a rare emotional fluctuation on her face, which seemed to be ······ Fear? ”
"I asked her again, but she stopped talking, just told me not to worry about it, these are high-level disputes, and they have nothing to do with us little minions."
"I don't quite agree, but maybe she has a point, isn't it really taboo to combine that power with a human being?"
“······”
Meng Xuan continued to flip through the pages, and the guess in his heart that Arcana Salo was the dried corpse was more certain, her performance was a little abnormal, and the "taboo" made him feel that it was probably not the moral essence of the experiment.
Rather, it should be the experiment itself, which touched some kind of "taboo".
Is this the real reason for the destruction of Research Institute Zero?
"On April 11, 197 in the Pale Calendar, the situation in the laboratory was a little strange, in just two days, the number of alienations of ordinary researchers in our group exceeded double digits! Moreover, I could feel that in the depths of my heart, there seemed to be another shadow, this shadow was somewhat familiar, that is, that day, this shadow appeared in my dream, which woke me up, and I usually sleep deeply. ”
"I woke up late that night to find that the sleeping pod where Arcana Sara was empty······" Take a look at the latest chapter of "Distorted Realm Claw Book House" to read for free for the first time.
