Chapter 21 Monsters (2)
The work of the institute continued in an orderly manner, and No. 64 was still sleeping as usual.It seemed that the sudden disappearance of vital signs that day was just an accident.
However, Shen Ci knew that the current No. 64 was only dormant using the illusion of sleeping.After a month, it had accumulated enough power, and the institute would be razed to the ground in an instant.
When he came in the morning, Shen Ci went to take a look at the situation on the 64th as usual.
He tapped on the container bottle with his index finger as a good morning greeting, and the monster inside still closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, breathing evenly.
Shen Ci didn't expect it to respond to him. These days, he found that No. 64 seemed to like listening to music very much.Every time he listened to some rhythmic music, the blackening value would drop slightly by one or two points.
He came early, and the researcher on duty hadn't come yet. Shen Ci sat in front of the container bottle, took out the harmonica from the pocket of his white coat, pointed his lips at the sound hole, and blew gently.
Shen Ci himself had studied some music before. Although he was forced to learn by his parents, he always took a good class, and basic playing and playing were not a problem.
The sound of melodious and gentle music flowed in the air, and the indifferent young doctor was blowing in a minor, his eyelashes drooping slightly, as if he had just found a secluded place where no one was, and found a way to wake up his brain and then devote himself to the next day's work.
The sound of music broke the cold and monotonous atmosphere of the research room.After a while, Shen Ci saw the long tail covered with black scales behind the monster swinging gently to the rhythm, as if it was extremely pleasant.
If it weren't for Shen Ci's constant staring, it would be difficult to notice this subtle movement that could no longer be subtle.
Shen Ci bent his eyes slightly.
The little liar who pretended to be sleeping.
After a song was played and the morning greetings were over, Shen Ci put away the harmonica, looked at the ignorant monster in the container again, and turned and left before the researcher on duty pushed the door in.
Behind him, the monster opened his eyes slightly, his pointed claws hooked slightly, and a dark shadow, like the previous few days, stretched out from under the container bottle, mixed into the shadows, and quietly followed him.
Although Shen Ci couldn't see this dark shadow, he also knew the existence of this shadow under the reminder of 888.
That thing followed him silently for several days, quietly watching Shen Ci's day's itinerary.When Shen Ci was working, it learned from him to write and draw. When Shen Ci was eating, it learned from him to chew and swallow.
Even when Shen Ci was sleeping, it learned from him. After confirming that Shen Ci was asleep, he lay on the bed in a dignified manner, lying next to Shen Ci.
It is observing Shen Ci.
And gradually traced out the shape of a person.
Shen Ci let it follow, but his face still paled day by day, and even the people in the research institute realized that something was wrong.
“Dr. Lin,” the researcher who is a little closer to him glanced at him worriedly, “Your face doesn't seem to be very good lately."”
Shen Ci pressed his temple, and his eyes were a little dark blue.
He has been feeling cold and heavy all over for the past few days, as if he was entangled in something weird.He can't sleep well at night and has no energy during the day.
“It's okay."Shen Ci said.
But he increasingly felt that his brain was a little dizzy and he couldn't concentrate.In the end, he had to put down his work and prepare to go to the bathroom to wash his face and wake up.
On the way, he received a call.
“Hello?"After washing his face, Shen Ci took out a few napkins from the side drawer, wiped his hands and face, and picked it up, "What's the matter?"”
“Oh, how cold is the tone?”
A hearty male voice came from the other end of the phone, and Cheng Fei smiled: “Yisheng, it's not this attitude to ask for help.”
Cheng Fei is a rare friend of Lin Yisheng. To be precise, he unilaterally considers himself a friend of Lin Yisheng.
The two met in college. Cheng Fei admired Lin Yisheng's talent and hard work in biological research. He pestered Lin Yisheng to make friends almost every day. With his unremitting efforts, Lin Yisheng's attitude towards him was finally closer than others. .
He is now working at the National Research Institute. Although he is not sure what the situation is in the research institute where his friend is currently working, he has an intuition that it is not a good place. He has persuaded Lin Yisheng many times, but he can't help it, and he almost broke off contact.
This time Lin Yisheng took the initiative to contact him, which can be described as an unexpected joy.
“Things are done?"Shen Ci ignored him and asked indifferently.
“How dare I call your old man's house if it's not done well," Cheng Fei said again, and then said with a serious expression, "There is no one on your side now, right?"”
Shen Ci glanced around: "No one.”
“Hmm.Cheng Fei breathed a sigh of relief, and then said solemnly,
"Yisheng, the above attaches great importance to your report, but it is related to the high-level military and cannot act rashly for the time being."”
“The above means that you should stay in this institute first and contact us at any time. You may need to cooperate with the inside and outside at that time.”
Shen Ci hummed.This kind of collusion between underground research institutes and high-level officials to abuse new types of creatures cannot be solved by Shen Ci alone, so his initial plan was to leave it to a country with powerful power to deal with it.
So I called Cheng Fei a few days ago, briefly explained the situation of the institute, and asked him to help reflect and rescue these creatures.
Cheng Fei smiled again, “Don't worry about what happens after that,” he said.“You are very successful and a rare scientific talent. The above will definitely not care about you working there. I mean, I have to recruit you. Then we will be able to work together.”
Shen Ci hummed again, paused, and said again: "Some of the researchers in the institute were deceived, not all of them...”
Some researchers don't know the true face of the institute, and they are only responsible for normal product development and research.They think they are just looking for an ordinary class. If they are arrested for these things, they are also innocent.
“Hey, don't worry,” Cheng Fei waved his hand and interrupted him, “I will reflect on the above."”
The most important thing was resolved, Shen Ci felt a little more relaxed, and said thank you to the other side.
“It's strange, I can hear the word thank you from your mouth," Cheng Fei laughed twice, “It's okay, I really want to thank you for coming out for a meal another day...”Before the word ”chant" was finished, Cheng Fei heard the beep of the phone hanging up.
Cheng Fei: “......”
Sure enough, it was still the familiar Lin Yisheng.
Shen Ci hung up the phone and after coming out of the bathroom, he accidentally ran into two researchers kissing.
There are many young people in the institute, and it is normal to have a couple. The two of them were a little embarrassed when they saw him, and they shouted weakly: "Dr. Lin...”
Shen Ci hummed faintly. Because he had just washed his face, the tips of his hair and collar were soaked in moist water, but he did not diminish his cold and indifferent temperament.
“Please excuse me."Shen Ci said.
“Oh oh good."The little couple reacted and quickly gave way to Shen Ci, and then saw Shen Ci walking over without giving them any more eyes.
Watching Shen Ci go far, the female researcher breathed a sigh of relief.“Huh, fortunately, Dr. Lin didn't care about us at all,” she patted her chest with fear.
“If you meet other people, you have to yell everywhere. It's a shame.”
After speaking, she hit her boyfriend angrily again: "It's all your fault!”
The boy scratched his head and smiled twice. Knowing that he was at a loss, he hurriedly went to coax his girlfriend.
However, the shadow's gaze swayed among them, and then he glanced at Shen Ci, who was about to go away, and stood still for a while.Shen Ci returned to the research room.
When he passed in front of the container bottle of Python No. 63, the python monster waved its tail at him, and the tip of its tail bent into a small love shape.
Since Shen Ci expelled the researcher last time, the monty python monster seems to have a good impression of him, and every time he sees him, he has to shake his tail to get his attention.
Shen Ci felt a little cute in his heart and smiled, but he didn't show it on his face.However, his gaze still subconsciously stayed on the tip of the tail bent into a small love heart for a second or two.
The python monster became more cheerful when he saw it, and he was about to use the tip of his tail to swing another shape, but suddenly he felt cold all over.
The breath was cold and extremely coercive. The python monster glanced at his neighbor tremblingly, his tail was not in the mood to shake, and his whole body was stiff and straight, like a long popsicle with a straight face.
Seeing that the Monty python monster was suddenly in the wrong state, Shen Ci blinked, and his intuition made him look to the side of No. 64.
The tall monster, covered with cold and hard scales, still closed his eyes, but inexplicably felt that the air pressure on his body was a little lower.
Shen Ci: “......”No, you have to care about it too.
This is just an episode, and soon a researcher came to Shen Ci.
“Dr. Lin,” the researcher handed Shen Ci the folder in his hand, “This is the data from the chip test just now.”
Shen Ci took it and flipped it over.
The current main task of their research team is to create a new type of chip that can control the behavior and even thoughts of monsters, but there is also a large biological gap between each monster, so research during this period has always stagnated. Stagnant.
The chip test just failed again, and the researcher was a little discouraged. He turned his gaze to the monster No. 64 who had been sleeping, and muttered:"It would be great if it could wake up. If it can wake up, it will definitely get a lot of new data. .”
Even in the sleeping state, the rest of the monsters invariably showed their fear of No. 64.If they could develop a chip to control it, it would definitely make the entire chip research a big step forward.
Shen Ci was noncommittal, he put away the file data: “I will go back to the laboratory first.”
There is still a lot of useful data in this test. He has to go back and study it to see if he can find a way to improve the chip.
The researcher nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, you are busy, you are busy.”
When Shen Ci walked out of the research room, the researcher suddenly saw what seemed to be a weird dark shadow following him.
He rubbed his eyes in surprise, and when he looked over again, the dark shadow was gone again.
The researcher shook his head, thinking that he was dazzled, so he didn't care anymore and went back to work.
As soon as Shen Ci returned, he locked himself in the laboratory and was not allowed to be disturbed.
As soon as Lin Yisheng entered the research state, he didn't care about anything.Even when he ate, he only took a bite of bread when he felt very hungry, and then continued to devote himself to research.
When I raised my head again, it was almost midnight, and there was a dark night outside the window. No sound could be heard in the institute. Probably people had already gone home from get off work.
Shen Ci rubbed his sore neck. Of course, he was not studying a control chip, but another kind of healing agent that could help the monsters recover.
These monsters have been abused by electric shocks for a long time, and their bodies have long been out of shape.Even if their abilities erupt later, they still live in the torment of disease and pain every day and night.
64 is also one of them. It was not defeated by the male and female masters in the end, but because of illness and torture, it had to die.
Shen Ci is a complete liberal arts student. These science knowledge has long been returned to the high school teacher, but with 888 on the side to assist, coupled with Lin Yisheng's memory, the research process is not too difficult.
Unexpectedly, the workload in this world was so heavy, Shen Ci sighed in his heart, and began to miss the days when the clothes of the last world came to hand out food and open his mouth.
It was dawn in four or five hours. Shen Ci wanted to develop the potion quickly, but he didn't go back and fell asleep on the table in the laboratory.
Because he was too tired, Shen Ci fell asleep after a while.
He didn't know that after perceiving that he was asleep, the shadow on the wall slowly squirmed and changed, gradually converging into a tall and terrifying shadow, peeled off from the wall, and walked silently to Shen Ci. In front of him.
