Chapter 115.
Tang Yu turned and walked towards the exit. She heard Li Jia's suppressed crying, but she never looked back.
The research institute was a place she had to go, not just to find the truth.
It was also for herself, for Tang En, and for so many people who died in vain.
In the world of the S-level copy maze, the five people seemed to have spent countless years and even experienced several reincarnations.
However, in the intermediate realm, only a few days passed.
For the survivors in the middle area, the blockade in the central square is now a thing of the past.
Everyone present at the time heard the horrifying penalty information. All those who participated in the private fight were punished and sent to the S-level copy!
In their view, an S-level copy is no different from a death copy.
The former S-level abyss directly consumed more than 200 lives, and the chaos in the middle area was also caused by it.
No one believed that anyone could come out of the S-level copy alive, so what if they were number one on the Heavenly Ranking?
Today's Heavenly Ranking-level experts are far inferior to those in the past. Even if they hold the title of the first on the Heavenly Ranking, they are only adding another layer of terrifying shadow to the S-level copy.
A figure appeared in the busy central square. No one paid attention to her at first, but suddenly someone recognized her.
"Isn't that Tang Yu? Oh my god! She came out of the S-level copy!"
"What did you say? S-level copy! Are you kidding me?!"
"Why would I lie to you? I saw them go in with my own eyes that day."
There are hundreds of thousands of survivors in the middle area, and not all of them know what happened in the central square a few days ago.
However, the S-level copy was well-known, and as soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.
For a while, everyone was whispering, and those who didn't understand the truth began to ask their companions.
The personnel sent by the Alliance to the square also recognized Tang Yu. After a brief shock, a creepy feeling crept up their spines.
She! She actually came out alive from the S-level copy! !
How did they do that?!
Several people looked at each other, and no one had the courage to go forward to disturb Tang Yu. Their only thought was to leave here quickly and report the news to the leader immediately!
Tang Yu ignored the chaos around her. She stood quietly in front of the large electronic screen.
There are countless dungeon entries in front of you. Because there are participants constantly entering or passing through, the dungeon entries on the screen are changing and updating at any time.
She looked at the copy entries for a long time, then closed her eyes and pointed at the screen with her right hand.
The gear of fate on her wrist slowly rotated, and a copy entry randomly selected by her finger changed instantly.
"The Research Institute has returned!"
'I have entered the special non-level single-player dungeon of the Institute of Return!'
'Instance summary: The research institute received a biological sample from the sea. This is a creature that has never been seen before. Its appearance has aroused great interest in the research institute, and research has been carried out on it. However, as the research progresses, the truth of this world is constantly revealed...'
'Dungeon Mission: &*#@...Welcome back!'
The scene in front of him changed quietly, and when he regained consciousness, Tang Yu found himself standing in front of a white building.
There are four simple big characters written on the metal door plaque - Lingxiang Research Institute.
At this time, Tang Yu was holding a recruitment notice in his hand. The research institute was recruiting scientific researchers.
On the back of the job notice, there was a text written in red ink with her employment number.
"Welcome to the Lingxiang Research Institute."
Before Tang Yu could see the number clearly, a receptionist in a black business suit came out from behind the marble column, her high heels making a crisp sound like bone china hitting the floor of the hall.
The receptionist gave Tang Yu a soft yet somewhat stiff smile, "You must be Miss Tang who is here to apply for a job. I have been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in."
The receptionist welcomed Tang Yu into the reception desk in the lobby and handed her an employment registration form.
Tang Yu took the employment registration form and took the opportunity to look around.
The hall is very tidy and the facilities are very modern. It can be seen that this so-called Lingxiang Research Institute is not short of funds.
She pretended to ask casually: "Excuse me, what is your research institute responsible for?"
After all, the name of this research institute sounds too weird.
What concerned her even more was that the orphanage where she grew up was named Lingxiang Orphanage. The pronunciations of the two names were very similar. Was there any necessary connection between them?
The smile on the receptionist's face did not change at all. Her face was fair and even had a rosy complexion that belonged to a healthy person. She looked like a perfectly normal person.
"Won't you know after Miss Tang joins our research institute?"
As the receptionist spoke, she pushed the employment registration form in front of Tang Yu and motioned for her to fill it out quickly.
Tang Yu had to fill this out if she wanted to enter the research institute for investigation. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the entry form, she picked up a pen and began to fill it out on the table.
When she signed her name on the "Voluntary Participation in the Experiment" clause, the receptionist's smiling voice came.
"Congratulations, you have become an important member of Lingxiang Research Institute!"
Tang Yu looked up and saw the receptionist's unchanging smile.
She handed over a cup of coffee. The milk foam floating on the surface of the coffee twisted into a vortex, reflecting the densely packed surveillance cameras on the ceiling.
"I need to input your information. You can take a rest first."
After the receptionist finished speaking, she nodded at Tang Yu and returned to the front desk.
Tang Yu held the coffee but did not intend to drink it. While the receptionist was busy with his work, she looked around again.
In the middle of the wall in the hall stood a floor clock of a very different style, and the hands on it showed that it was ten fifty-eight.
Tang Yu noticed that there seemed to be a piece of paper next to the floor clock, and she couldn't help but move closer to take a closer look.
'Basic rules of the institute - this is an institute that is very time-conscious, please strictly abide by your own time.'
It was a very short sentence, but the wording in it made Tang Yu feel a little concerned.
Just as she was thinking seriously about the deeper meaning of this, the floor clock next to her suddenly made a metallic knocking sound.
The pointer pointed to eleven o'clock.
The sound of that old-fashioned metal clock was very loud. Tang Yu was very close to it and felt a little dazed for a moment.
The receptionist appeared behind him at some point, and her soft voice revealed a strange and intimidating feeling.
"Eating behavior detected. The behavior of the subject does not match the identity. Change the identity of the subject immediately! The identity is changed to - Experimental Subject!"
Tang Yu was suddenly startled and felt some kind of crisis approaching rapidly, but before she could react, her consciousness gradually became blurred.
The bone china cup in his hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces, and the coffee inside was empty at some point.
......
Tang Yu regained consciousness amid the suffocating feeling of disinfectant mixed with the smell of rust.
The frost on the metal bedside was climbing up her exposed ankles, and the shadowless light above her head left a purple spot on her retina.
She tried to raise her right hand and found that she was being fastened to the anatomy by the restraints.
"The new sample's activity has met the standard. Prepare for the initial stimulation test." The researcher wearing a tight protective mask tapped the tablet, and six robotic arms suddenly extended from the wall.
The laser knife slowly penetrated the skin and cut the flesh and blood tissue. Tang Yu could clearly feel the slight vibration when the blade cut the sternum.
The researchers did not give her anesthesia, which allowed her to accurately feel which part of her flesh was being cut.
But Tang Yu did not scream from beginning to end. She just silently ranked the degree of pain in her heart.
Probably, ranked seventh.
In order to relieve the pain and discomfort, Tang Yu forced himself to divert his attention.
She observed the flickering pattern of the shadowless lamp above her head. In the gaps between the flickering, the patterns on the ceiling seemed to form a strange circular series.
She remembered that she seemed to have seen it in a book. It was called Fibonacci.
"The sample's pain nerve feedback is abnormal!" The researcher tapped the holographic screen, and his somewhat annoyed narration came from under the protective mask.
"Injection of □□psychostatic agent, first time!"
As the researcher finished speaking, Tang Yu gradually calmed down. The robotic arm operated the scalpel to suture her wound briefly, still without using any anesthesia.
There was only her and this researcher in the entire lab.
It seemed that the researcher was constantly trying various pain experiments simply to test Tang Yu's pain threshold.
"Sample status testing completed, conducting cerebral cortex stimulation experiment."
"The sample has abnormal pain threshold, conduct electric shock test..."
In this torture-like experiment, Tang Yu's breathing frequency gradually increased and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
But she still tried to stay awake. The current situation was already very critical. If she didn't find a way to escape, she would be doomed!
Finally, when Tang Yu was injected with a mental inhibitor for the third time, he discovered the code hidden on the ceiling.
When the overhead shadowless light flashes for the 144th time, the patterns that resemble the Fibonacci sequence will project a faint image.
It looked like a torn-up "Experimental Subject's Schedule"!
"The time for live sampling is from 3:17 to 5:43 in the morning..." She endured the severe pain of her sternum being cut by the laser and licked the blood beads oozing from her lips with the tip of her tongue.
The gears of fate turned quietly on my wrist, and the fragmented images on the ceiling gradually pieced together into a complete schedule.
Lingxiang Research Institute experimental subject schedule
Note: All times are based on the master clock, and the actual error does not exceed ±12 seconds (except during mandatory calibration)
00:00-00:03 Memory Wipe
03:17-05:43 Live sampling
06:00-06:20 Eating time
09:09-10:00 Regeneration Observation
11:00-11:20 Meal time
13:13-14:31 Neural electrical stimulation
15:19-17:21 Pollution test
18:00-18:20 Meal time
23:59-23:59 Final evaluation'
The information of the schedule was clearly reflected in Tang Yu's pupils, and she suddenly recalled that when she first started working, the receptionist handed her a cup of coffee.
At that time, it was exactly eleven o'clock!
Basic rules next to the grandfather clock: Please strictly adhere to your own time!
When the bell rang, Tang Yu was invaded by something strange and drank the coffee in a trance.
Between 11:00-11:20 is the experiment subjects’ meal time!
The researchers and experimental subjects in this institute use two sets of schedules.
Tang Yu drank the coffee during the time period that belonged to experimental subjects, so her identity was directly determined to be an experimental subject.
I see!
