Chapter 57 Perfect New World (Twenty-Seven)
Nan Huan fiddled with the cubes that appeared on the wall, but apart from X+1 and X+2, there were no more clues.
In Nanhuan's opinion, there should be more than these archives here.
After all, it's just X+1 and X+2. Even if Nan Huan can't see these videos, he can still guess something just by looking at the scenes outside the small building.
It really doesn't make sense that it is called a hidden file and hidden here.
Bei Xi, who was standing behind Nan Huan, kept his eyes on the ground.
Bei Xi looked for a long time, then took out a dagger from somewhere, cut off a piece of cloth from his lapel and threw it on the ground.
As a result, I watched the piece of cloth on the ground disappear in an instant, as if it had been swallowed.
At the same time, the feeling of being spied on reached its maximum. She closed her eyes, did not look up, but swung the dagger in the direction she felt.
"There's something strange on the ground."
After Bei Xi finished her action, she put her arms around Nan Huan's waist.
When Nan Huan heard this, the wings behind him appeared again. They flapped twice and floated into the air with Bei Xi.
The dagger that Bei Xi threw out with force did not pierce into the wall on the side, but fell to the ground with a clang.
But at the place where the dagger stabbed, Nan Huan and Bei Xi both saw the shape of an eye emerging.
Nan Huan, in particular, clearly captured that the pupil in the center of the eye was exactly the shape of a cube.
I knew this dog game wasn't that simple.
“There are still files there.”
"That eye has been spying on us."
They both spoke at the same time, but their emphasis was different.
Bei Xi retracted the air arrow that he wanted to throw out. If it exploded, the files might be damaged.
In an instant, the eyes on the wall disappeared.
"There's something strange about this place. The temperature is rising, and it seems to be alive."
Bei Xi put his arms around Nan Huan's waist, used the other's wings to adjust his direction, and looked around the room.
"Alive?"
Nan Huan was a little confused. She had been concentrating on the files and didn't notice anything wrong.
When Bei Xi said this, she felt that the temperature in the room seemed to be rising little by little.
Bei Xi didn't say anything, but threw another piece of cloth down like before.
Then Nan Huan watched the piece of cloth disappear on the ground, as if it was swallowed up, but at a very fast speed.
Only then did she understand what the other party meant by alive.
As if sensing that the secret of the house had been discovered, the moment the clothes disappeared, the temperature suddenly rose very high again.
And there was something else in the air, because Nan Huan felt a slight tingling in his wings.
Although her wings are hard, they are more sensitive than her skin.
"We can't stay here for long. Force that eye out and we'll get the file and leave."
Nanhuan had a bad feeling.
As soon as she finished her words, the arrow in Beixi's hand flew out. This time, she was aiming at the cube in the nine-square grid that Nanhuan had already seen.
This time the arrow did not fall. The two of them cooperated well. Nanhuan's wings wrapped around the two of them, preventing the small-scale explosion from affecting them.
But after the thick smoke cleared, the cube was intact. Not to mention being blown apart, there wasn't even a crack.
But the originally brown room began to tremble after the thick smoke.
Yes, Nan Huan was not mistaken, the whole room began to shake.
The brown outer shell slowly faded away, revealing the original black tumor.
The previously flat ground turned into an uneven texture and began to slowly crawl.
The stinging sensation in the air became stronger and stronger, and Nan Huan then noticed that her and Bei Xi's skin began to fester.
It's just that because Bei Xi now has the ability to heal, the skin on the back of her hand is like a stitch in the middle, getting better and then starting to corrode again, with no signs of expanding.
Just looking at it gives people a magical feeling.
Nan Huan was a little distracted, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that the tingling in his body had eased, and Bei Xi was holding his hand.
But the effect is not very ideal.
After all, she can only treat, not relieve pain.
So although Nanhuan's corroded skin was recovering little by little, the pain did not stop, and even tended to get stronger.
"Don't bother, find a way out first."
Nan Huan took a breath and said, "I don't want to be treated as food and digested here."
“That’s disgusting.”
I don’t know if it was because it was too painful or if this thing was really an eyesore, Nan Huan paused and uttered bad words.
She had seen the power of Beixi's air arrow. Not to mention a room, it destroyed an entire forest last night.
But now, such a small room is intact.
Although Bei Xi felt sorry for Nan Huan, he also knew that if he delayed any further, Nan Huan would only feel worse.
But she did not act on her own. After all, the air arrows were no longer useful, and she would not be so stupid as to try other weapons. Instead, she closed her eyes and searched carefully for the source of the feeling of being watched.
Although the eyes on the wall had just disappeared, the feeling of being watched still existed.
It’s just that when the eyes are not present, this feeling is not so obvious.
But for Bei Xi, just a trace of breath was enough.
She still had one hand covering Nan Huan's hand, treating her continuously and stroking it gently with her fingers.
The two of them were suspended in the air, not moving, and the room was very quiet.
Only faint moving sounds could be heard.
About thirty seconds later, Bei Xi opened his eyes without any warning.
She let go of Nan Huan's hand, rushed to the black wall on the side, and without thinking, pressed her hand into it.
As her hand reached into the black wall, the eye slowly appeared.
It seemed to struggle a few times, but it couldn't break free because Bei Xi grabbed its upper eye socket and refused to let go.
Under the black outline, its gaze at the two people was greedy, resentful and cold.
Black liquid flowed out of his eyes and spread to Bei Xi's arms.
Her skin and flesh were corroding, and Bei Xi was not sure whether there was a limit to her healing ability.
But she could smell the floral and fishy scent, which seemed to come from this eye, as if this was the most polluted place.
She didn't have time to think, she reached out and dug out the cube in the middle of her eye and handed it to Nan Huan who had just flown over.
Then he suddenly threw a few air arrows, which pierced straight into the black eyes.
Only then did he loosen his hands that were prying open his eye sockets, put his arms around Nan Huan's waist, and moved back.
All this happened within just a few seconds.
After Nan Huan entered the game, his physical fitness did not improve at all, let alone his reaction ability and agility. Even his wings had difficulty maintaining balance.
There was no way she could compare with Bei Xi's reaction ability that was beyond human, so before she could react, the cube had been stuffed into her hand and she was held in Bei Xi's arms.
After a brief earthquake, apart from the fact that the black eyes seemed unable to hide their shape and more black liquid flowed out, there was not even a crack in the entire small room.
Nan Huan couldn't help but frowned. Ever since they entered the room.
He did not receive any task notification from the system at all, and based on Nan Huan's understanding of the game.
Under normal circumstances, as long as the game mission is not triggered, the player will not face life-threatening danger.
Unless they accidentally break the rules of death.
That is to say, anyone who attempts to open the hidden files will be regarded as triggering the death rule.
If nothing unexpected had happened, both of them would have died the moment they entered the cabin.
No wonder there is only one door here, it disappears after entering.
No wonder the air here feels weird.
But somehow, the game gave them time to discover all this.
Although Beixi's attack on the wall has no effect, his attack on the eyes seems to be somewhat useful.
It leaked more black liquid, the floral and fishy smell was stronger, and the corrosive burning sensation became more and more intense.
Is it because of the hidden ID card?
After all, since I have a hidden identity card, entering the archives room is inevitable.
This shouldn't be a complete dead end.
While Nan Huan was thinking, his finger had already opened the cube.
The surface of the cube has been completely covered by black liquid, and nothing can be seen clearly, but a playlist containing four files appears on the virtual screen in due time.
X-31, X-33, X-32, and X-0 correspond exactly to the four missing files in the X series file that Nan Huan saw in the archives room.
"There may be important clues in the video. I'll try other methods to get out of here."
Bei Xi is very smart. She has thought of everything that Nan Huan has thought of. Now that she sees the name of the playlist, she is ready to cooperate with Nan Huan.
That eye is obviously their only way to get out of here, but Bei Xi has not found a way to deal with it yet.
"Be careful."
The burning sensation of corrosion became more and more intense, and Nan Huan didn't say much.
The first test record was played. The subject No. 31 in the video did not undergo any alienation like the previous subjects, and his appearance still maintained a human appearance.
Moreover, in the first third of the video, although the video is flowing, the picture almost does not change.
No. 31 spent most of her time lying in bed. She looked a little weak, as if she was injured. Her face was a little pale, but there were no obvious external injuries.
It was not until the 10th day that the original observation illusion suddenly changed.
Nan Huan recognized it; it was the operating room she had seen in the mirror.
In the following days, No. 31 appeared in the operating room every day. The uniformed staff would cut flesh from her body every day, leaving wounds, and observe her recovery.
Repeat the process the next day.
This is basically similar to the process Nan Huan experienced in the mirror.
Nan Huan also looked at it carefully. There seemed to be nothing special about No. 31's body. Both the wounds and the recovery situation were no different from those of ordinary people.
When the experiment was recorded to the 30th day, a white light suddenly appeared in the video, and then the video stopped abruptly. Everything ended here.
Nan Huan carefully identified that it was not a problem with the recording camera, the white light seemed to appear in the picture.
Anyway, the four missing records were already here, so Nan Huan did not watch them in numerical order, but opened the second recording according to the order in the playlist.
No. 33, Bei Xi's hidden identity, had an experimental record in the video that was not much different from that of No. 31 that she had just seen.
The video also recorded until the 30th day, when a very dazzling white light suddenly appeared and then stopped.
Unlike other experimental subjects, which had records of the second experiment after the 30th day, No. 31 and No. 33 seemed to have disappeared. The only experimental records were the two paragraphs that Nan Huan could not understand.
After watching the two videos, she curled up her wings which had been corroded and were a little painful.
The room was surrounded by black corrosive liquid. Nan Huan could only rely on his wings to stay suspended in mid-air. Although he still could not avoid being corroded, it was at least better than directly touching the wall.
The blue crystals on the wings kept falling off due to corrosion and disappeared when they touched the ground.
She let out a sigh to ease the pain and glanced at Bei Xi.
I discovered that the other party had found a prop suspended in mid-air at some point and was dealing with the eye.
Apart from the props being half corroded, although there were some wounds on his body, it didn't look too bad because of his healing ability.
Nan Huan then turned his attention back to the video.
Seeing the face of No. 32, Nan Huan's thoughts became a little vague, and that familiar feeling once again came to his mind.
She thought about it carefully and realized that she had had this feeling since the first time she met him.
But at that time, outside the small building, No. 32's face was blocked, and she couldn't see the other person's face clearly, so this feeling of familiarity was very strong.
Later, when I was searching the other person's ward, this feeling reached its peak, and I felt that I was framed by her.
Although it is very likely that it is the system that is causing the problem.
The first third of the experiment is no different from the previous videos, but No. 32 appears to be a little healthier.
It was said that they were from the same batch of infected people who were contaminated by the source of contamination, but there was no sign of contamination on her body.
It was not until the 10th day that No. 32 was dragged into the operating room, and the staff cut her skin with a knife.
Unlike the other people who were scratched and bleeding, No. 32 also bled, but her blood was blue, and her scratches healed within a few seconds.
Even if the staff removed her skin and flesh, the area would heal again after a while as if there had never been an injury.
It was hard for Nan Huan not to think of the healing ability that Bei Xi gained because of the mission.
It was hard for Nan Huan not to think of the perfect spray or the blue liquid in the breeding pool just now.
With each day that followed, the staff went further and further, as if trying to push No. 32's physical limits.
Her recovery speed became slower and slower. It was not known whether it was because the experiments were too frequent or because there were too many wounds on her body, so the recovery time was naturally slow.
On the 30th day, the white light arrived as promised.
But the experiment on No. 32 did not end here. After the black screen, the time came to the 31st day.
The wound on No. 32 cannot heal automatically.
The exploration of No. 32's physical limits seems to have finally come to an end, but a large amount of blood is drawn from her every once in a while, and no one knows what it is used for.
This caused great harm to No. 32's body. She was no longer as energetic as before, and her face became terribly pale.
The video ends here.
But Nan Huan always felt that the experiment should not be over yet, and No. 32 should have encountered something later.
How else to explain the large amount of perfect spray in the warehouse? And the blue liquid in the incubation pool?
Nan Huan felt that perhaps all the secrets were hidden in Subject No. 0.
When she was looking at the files before, she was a little puzzled as to why there were signs of being torn at the beginning, but the test records of subject 01 were not lost.
Now that I have seen this number 0, I finally understand that the first batch of infected bodies made public to the public should not be the first batch of infected people, but before these 33 people, there was a number 0.
The beginning of the video was a little dim, unlike the previous observation room for the contaminated body, and even the camera seemed a little blurry.
Nan Huan took some effort to distinguish them.
The background of the picture looks like a bookshelf. The reason it appears blurry is because the focus is not correct.
The person who dominated the scene did not reveal his real face until he positioned the camera and sat back in his chair.
It was a face that was not too old, but the wrinkles on it and the rigidity and rigor hidden in the eyebrows were still very impressive.
So much so that Nan Huan recognized the number 0 in the picture at a glance. She had seen it before.
In the mirror during the interview, when she was taken to the operating room, there was an impatient old man sitting in front of the operating table outside the glass door.
The other party seemed to have told her, oh, no, it should be No. 31, that she should place her hopes on the other party.
She remembered what the staff around her called the old man.
Oh, yes, Dean.
After a careful consideration, Nan Huan has confirmed the identity of the infected person No. 0, who is the dean of this strange research institute.
The man in the picture looked a little younger than Nan Huan remembered him to be. At least his hair wasn’t as gray, and his back wasn’t as hunched.
The study should be a rather solemn place, but at this moment the dean was not wearing a shirt and was holding a knife in his right hand.
If Nan Huan didn’t know the identity of the person in the picture.
At this time, his exposed skin was covered with many scars of different sizes, new and old, which looked very scary.
Nan Huan didn't understand what was going on at first, and didn't wait for her to be surprised.
The next second, she saw a small black spot appear on the dean's arm from the inside out.
At first it was hard to notice due to its small size, but it was growing and expanding at a strange speed, and then Nan Huan recognized it.
It was a black tumor that kept growing out of the dean's body.
In less than a minute, it had grown into a black tumor as big as a bowl.
That thing grows very fast, and the growth process must be painful. Although the video has no sound, judging from the dean's ferocious expression, this is definitely not an easy process.
Nan Huan looked at the texture of the black tumor in the picture, then looked down at the black hut that trapped him and Bei Xi, and had a bad guess in his mind.
However, it seems to have its own growth pattern. After expanding to a certain size, it stops growing and seems to have settled down.
Then a cold light appeared in the picture.
