After Waking up Beside the Villain - Chapter 223
The countdown marked in red returned to zero, and the brain with the glass tube opened silently stopped its activity.
Chu Yunsheng watched them return to dead silence.
Continuing the operation of the console, Chu Yunsheng dealt with the remaining experiment of awakening the gods according to his own ideas. Except for the normal life support for the experimental body, he suspended all other experimental projects .
After doing all this, he sat back in the lounge chair, browsed the various materials of the Ninth Research Institute and the confidential documents of the Security Bureau that the dean-level can access, and spent his time peacefully and peacefully. It’s past the second half of the night on duty at Laboratory No. 1.
The next morning, Chu Yunsheng left the laboratory and went to the cafeteria to eat.
The canteen of the Ninth Research Institute is the only building in the entire research institute that has been completely renovated on the basis of an abandoned hospital. It is tall, bright, clean, extremely modern, and the food is quite delicious, far exceeding the standard of a normal canteen.
When Chu Yunsheng arrived, the long table in the center of the canteen was already full of people, about thirty or forty, which was almost the entire number of the staff of the Ninth Research Institute.
Every researcher’s time is extremely precious, and they cherish it very much, so the brief daily meetings of the research institute are combined with breakfast, which is time-saving and efficient. As for discussing those **** Whether experimental or bizarre organs affected appetite was never on their radar.
“Professor Chu, good morning.”
“Morning, Dean!”
“Today’s millet porridge is well cooked, does the dean want a bowl?”
In a series of cold or warm greetings, Chu Yunsheng prepared the meal from the window and sat in an empty seat around the dining table.
“Good morning.”
Chu Yunsheng put down the dinner plate, looked around the researchers at the table, and said calmly, “I want to inform you of something.”
Everyone moved and raised their heads.
“Lab No. 1 will be completely closed from today, and no one can enter or leave except me. The internal and external passwords and authentication permissions have been changed, and this experiment no longer needs everyone here to be responsible.” Chu Yun said, “Delete your backup data, this experiment will have nothing to do with you.”
The voice landed, and there were several clanging sounds of knives, forks, spoons and chopsticks falling on the table.
The researchers’ faces were full of disbelief, as if they couldn’t believe Chu Yunsheng’s straight-to-the-point announcement.
You know, this is definitely a long and complicated experiment that cannot be completed by one person, and even faces endless terror and death at any time.
So this experiment needs someone to assist, someone needs to stand in front, to attract the attention of those hysterical in the dark abyss, when the old dean just started this experiment, he almost went crazy All of them were pulled in together.
At that time, anyone who resisted or tried to inform would silently disappear into the dark night.
Someone got news that the old dean was an important figure in a mysterious sect that worshipped ancient gods, and that sect was secretly helping him, using weirdness to eradicate those who might harm him.
This seems to be confirmed after the death of the old dean last month.
The week after Section 7 concluded the investigation into the death of the old dean, almost everyone in the institute would hear whispered prayers in the middle of the night, and the combination lock of Laboratory No. It has also been destroyed. Although there are no obvious signs of being invaded, a cortical scroll in the laboratory that was often read by the old dean disappeared.
These circumstances confirmed the researchers’ suspicions, making them more determined to conceal the experiment, and also making them more anxious.
However, there is one thing that makes them feel strange, that is, this sect does not seem to have any plans to take over the experiment of the old god.
Is it too weak to operate under the watchful eye of the Security Bureau, or do you think this experiment is unimportant or has failed, and has decided to give up?
Researchers have no answers.
Of course, if Chu Yunsheng knew what they were thinking, he might be able to tell them the answer that was closest to the facts—this experiment has actually been successful to some extent, but the awakening , The resurrected, but not the **** that the sect expected.
The table fell into a stagnant silence.
A few seconds later, a male researcher with thinning hair said: “Professor Chu, you mean that this experiment has nothing to do with us, no matter what happened, is that so? “
Chu Yunsheng looked at the researcher named Fu Chun.
He heard the meaning of Fu Chun’s words, but he didn’t care.
“That’s right.”
Chu Yunsheng nodded and said, “This experiment was brought by me in secret and carried out in secret. You don’t know about it.”
Visible to the naked eye, the stiff expressions of most of the researchers softened, and the dubiousness and ecstasy were subtly mixed, turning into a dull expression of suppressed emotions.
There are only a few who are completely reluctant to believe, or hesitate to worry.
“Dean, I’m sure you know what this experiment means.”
The young female researcher Cao Manqing pushed her glasses and said solemnly: “Whether you plan to really take over it or choose to give it up, I hope it will not spread any abnormal effects and die peacefully. in a no-man’s place.”
“I don’t know what the world has and what’s going on, but it shouldn’t get any worse.”
“Although I don’t have any qualifications to make this request based on my past actions. But this is indeed the reason why I promised Dean Weng to help him conduct experiments in the first place.”
There were many surprised eyes on the table.
“Yes.”
Chu Yun replied.
He was not surprised by what Cao Manqing said.
In what he once could call reality, many of the monsters and geniuses who did some research were very strange. Extreme selfishness, extreme selflessness, or a contradiction of both, can be present in them.
In pursuit of their lifelong ideals, they can fall into boundless fanaticism, create disasters that destroy the world, and engage in evil research to save their own lives, igniting inhumane scourges.
But in the same way, the survival and struggle of human beings, the safety and future of their home and country, can also make them willing to dedicate their lives, not to be a shining star in the long river of history, but to build human beings incognito A grain of sand in the tall buildings of civilization.
“I will hack the surveillance video of the cafeteria this morning.”
A researcher whispers.
“The video has been replaced with a virtual image, and it will return to normal after eight o’clock.”
Chu Yunsheng had already made preparations to clear all traces in advance. Half the night was enough for him to completely control the institute from another level.
After he finished speaking, he took the porcelain spoon and scooped up a spoonful of the thinly steamed millet porridge, which was regarded as announcing the end of this short and chaotic morning meeting.
Others were also inexplicably relieved, picked up the tableware with the feeling of finally getting rid of the shadow and inexplicable empty, and began to taste the still warm breakfast.
Because of the king bomb that fell at the beginning, the dining table of the Ninth Research Institute today is extraordinarily quiet, there are no ladies discussing how to take care of skin after staying up late on duty, and no men trying to solve the problem with a biological research Hair loss troubled exchanges.
Halfway through the meal, a voice suddenly whispered, “It’s almost half past seven, why haven’t Pei Shu and An Xin come to dinner?”
Chu Yunsheng raised his eyes slightly.
Judging from the memory of the original body, there are indeed two familiar faces missing from the dining table, one is An Xin who came to wake him up last night, and the other is a person in charge of connecting the brains of the First Research Institute Male researcher in domain research.
This is not really unusual.
Researchers not everyone likes to come for breakfast and are willing to get up early, geniuses have quirks, get up in the afternoon and work until the early morning, there is no mandatory regulation by the research institute , If you have nothing to do with the regular morning meeting, you can skip it.
Just because of the old **** experiment, the researchers of the Ninth Research Institute generally have extremely poor sleep quality and wake up very early, so the breakfast is so neat.
A male researcher grabbed the food and replied casually: “Pei Shu was seconded by the seventh department on a business trip, and seems to have contracted the hypersomnia over there. Sleepy. I told me last night that I might get up late, and if I can’t make it, let me help you ask for a leave.”
“Are you okay?” Fu Chun raised his head.
The male researcher shook his head: “It’s alright, he took the vaccine developed by the First Research Institute before he set off. Even if he is infected, he will only sleep longer, and he will not sleep to death. After a few days Enough.”
“What about Anxin?”
“An Xin was on the night shift in Laboratory No. 1 last night, so she might not eat, just go back to rest.”
Chu Yunsheng saw this and explained: “Around one o’clock in the morning, An Xin said that there was a problem in Laboratory No. 1, and I changed classes with her.”
“Maybe it’s too late to get up?” said a researcher.
Du Ying, the female researcher in her 40s who asked the first question, changed her face slightly, got up and said, “I’ll go see her.”
Others looked at her nervous expression, and their expressions were also slightly stiff.
Some of them thought of the colleagues who disappeared under the threat of the old dean, while others thought of the strange events that began to occur frequently in this world and the tragic death of the old dean in public Horror scene in the bathroom.
Chu Yunsheng also smelled an ominous meaning.
He put down his chopsticks: “Du Ying, I’ll go with you.”
Leave the cafeteria and walk around a small forest, which is the dormitory building for the female researchers.
In the end, besides Chu Yunsheng, there were two other researchers who came with Du Ying.
The four entered the dormitory building, went all the way to the third floor, and came to door 310, where Du Ying raised her hand and knocked on the door.
“An Xin? Professor An? Are you there?”
The banging sound of the iron door echoed in the empty and silent corridor.
No answer.
Du Ying’s complexion changed completely, she quickly reached out, took out a key from her pocket, stabbed it in the door lock, and was about to open the door.
This is obviously the spare key for 310, and An Xin gave it to Du Ying in advance.
The other two were stunned for a moment when they saw it, and then followed Chu Yunsheng to back away politely.
In a second.
“Ah-!”
A terrified scream came from within 310.
Chu Yunsheng’s eyes sank, and he kicked open the half-open dormitory door.
Inside the door, Du Ying stood tremblingly in the open space next to the door of the room.
In front of her, countless strands of white mycelium hung down from the ceiling fan, and shaky attached to a figure behind the table and chair.
An old marionette.
…
“The deceased An Xin, female, 31 years old, researcher of the Third Section of the Ninth Research Institute, honorary professor of the Department of Biology of Chuhe University, specializing in plant pathology. Five months ago, she was taken safely The bureau was evaluated as a three-star scientific research talent and recommended to join the Ninth Research Institute.”
“The initial autopsy found that the skin of the deceased’s body was intact and there was no obvious abnormal structure in the body.”
“The cause of death was the invasion of alien hyphae, the organs and blood vessels were filled with white hyphae, the hyphae were inactive in detection, but the cell structure was special, and it was temporarily named as a puppet white fungus, which was included in the archives on the third floor Room, no secret star.”
In the small conference room of the Ninth Research Institute, a cold and serious male voice stopped with the closing sound of the folder.
“President Chu, what do you think?”
Another male voice asked.
Chu Yunsheng flipped the paper in his hand, recalling the details of seeing An Xin last night and her past performance.
He didn’t look up at the field staff of the Seventh Division who were present, only looked at the words printed on the white paper, and replied lightly: “The Ninth Research Institute does not have any research on heterogeneity colonies, There are no similar samples either. In the established data, the infection of heterologous hyphae is not a mental invasion, but requires direct contact to have an impact on the human body.”
“I want to know where the puppet white bacteria that Anxin came into contact with came from. Finding out the source may be of obvious help to this death investigation.”
The security bureau classifies all strange deaths into two categories, one is mental pollution, and the other is xenogeneic infection.
The former is the most common, and the most strange and unknown. You don’t need to contact anything, and you don’t need to do anything, and you will have a sudden attack. Those deceased may have just recited a certain name unintentionally, just touched a certain consciousness in their sleep, and then encountered great terror.
The death of the old dean belongs to this.
Different from mental pollution, xenogeneic infection is when the deceased directly or indirectly comes into contact with something abnormal, and then he is invaded and infected, resulting in a strange death.
An Xin’s death was caused by the appearance of mycelium, which can be roughly classified into this category.
This is also a case that has a clear direction of investigation and is easier to handle and resolve.
Specific drugs and vaccines to control or eliminate such diseases or xenogeneic species.
Deputy Director Hou Wanguo of the seventh department glanced at this handsome and cold-looking, a little too young new dean. He was a little surprised when he and the previous dean Weng faced the investigation. very different attitude.
One stubborn resistance, one cooperative suggestion, they undoubtedly prefer the latter.
“We have just completed a comprehensive search of the Ninth Research Institute, and we have also obtained surveillance video and recorded Anxin’s movements in the past week. Nothing was found, very normal.” Hou. Universal Road.
Hearing this, Chu Yunsheng’s heart sank slightly, and he confirmed his guess.
Since the rest of the place is completely normal, the only thing left that may be abnormal is the No. 1 laboratory that is tightly hidden by the Ninth Research Institute.
Rong Chen really not only has the secret of the old **** experiment.
This made Chu Yunsheng want to be quiet and low-key for a period of time, concentrate on solving various abnormal diseases, and after understanding the secrets of experiments and strange events, investigate the truth of the world and plan future plans, basically announced bankruptcy.
He had to figure out what was wrong with Rong Chen.
Hou Wanguo saw that Chu Yunsheng did not say anything, and said: “President Chu, the investigation results are clear, we will leave first. We will take An Xin’s body and puppet white fungus away, The third floor of the dormitory will also be blocked.”
“In addition, in order to avoid subsequent infection incidents, we will leave two field staff to monitor here for a week. If anything happens, I hope you will cooperate more.”
Chu Yunsheng has no objection to this, this is a routine procedure.
At the end of the meeting, everyone got up to pack up the materials, opened the door and left.
Hou Wanguo was half a step late, and deliberately waited for Chu Yunsheng to walk to the door before suddenly remembering something, and asked unintentionally, “President Chu came to the Ninth Research Institute, too. It’s been almost a month, are you still used to being here?”
“It’s very good here.” Chu Yun said.
He noticed the expression of the Deputy Director of the Seventh Division, who smelled heavily of smoke, and sensed a temptation.
Hou Wanguo said: “Old Dean Weng was not good at dealing with people when he was still alive, and the Ninth Research Institute was relatively closed. He is a respectable old scientist, and the bureau dare not interfere too much. There are many more experiments by him, but the Ninth Research Institute has been fruitless for more than half a year, and the bureau intends to merge the Ninth Research Institute into the Eighth Research Institute, just as both sides are studying biology.”
Chu Yunsheng showed a bit of surprise, frowned, and said, “Why did Director Hou tell me this news?”
Hou Wanguo smiled, took out a cigarette to light it, and said something that surprised Chu Yunsheng: “President Chu knows that a man named Rong Chen was more than three months ago. The outdoor anchor who fell off a cliff and died? His body was selected as an experiment and sent to your Ninth Academy for human experiments.”
“Old Dean Weng always said that the experiment did not make any progress, and the bureau did not pay much attention to this matter. But our seventh department always felt that there was something wrong with Rong Chen and a secret.”
“President Chu went to see that experimental body, how do you feel?”
Chu Yunsheng did not expect the seventh place to pay so much attention to Rong Chen.
Obviously, there are reasons behind this that neither the original body nor the old dean knew.
If they found something on Rong Chen, it would be impossible to send the body to the Ninth Research Institute so easily. So there is a high probability that when the seventh place found Rong Chen’s body, or in the process of investigating the cause of his death, something happened that made the seventh place so obsessed.
“Good looking.”
Chu Yunsheng honestly answered his true feelings.
Hou Wanguo was taken aback, shook his head, smiled, and sighed: “I know this is a confidential experiment within your research institute, and we have no right to intervene. But I still want to remind President Chu In a word, the security bureau is not necessarily reliable, but our seventh station will definitely protect everyone who can be protected.”
“If you find anything unusual on Calm Chen’s body that did not appear before, please be sure to contact us.”
Chu Yunsheng did not answer.
Hou Wanguo didn’t expect him to answer either, he just waved his hand, hunched his back slightly, holding a stack of documents, and quickly walked out of the conference room.
The people in the seventh place come and go in a hurry.
Before it got dark, except for the two field workers who were left to monitor, everyone including Hou Wanguo had all evacuated.
They have a lot of tasks and they are used to these things. When there is no special situation, they will not waste a minute or a second.
People from the ninth hospital have also been able to deal with these investigations proficiently. After the evacuation of the seventh place, the people who had been quarantined, questioned and tested before also quickly calmed down and returned to their own department to continue research work.
During dinner, Chu Yunsheng walked into a laboratory in the third department and found Du Ying who was staring straight at a petri dish.
“What did An Xin take from Laboratory No. 1?”
He turned off the monitoring in the laboratory and walked to Du Ying.
Du Ying came back to her senses, and almost jumped up from the stool like a startled bird.
But the panic and panic only lasted for a moment, and the next second she returned to normal, suppressing her rolling emotions, and reluctantly smiled: “President, you startled me… What do you take? An? How could Xin take things from the No. 1 laboratory, that’s against the rules…”
Chu Yunsheng stared at Du Ying’s eyes quietly, and said in a cold voice, “I found out that An Xin did not appear this morning. When I asked An Xin and Pei Shu why they didn’t arrive, they were already terrified.”
“You know something may have happened to her.”
“What led you to this guess?”
“When An Xin gave you the spare key, what did he tell you, or what did you see at that time?”
Sentence after sentence of condensed words drilled into my ears, like a heavy hammer falling.
Du Ying’s already tense nerves are almost reaching their limit.
Her face paled visibly, as if she was in the room full of mycelium again, facing the terrifying figure whose body was filled with mycelium from the inside out.
As if she suddenly heard some gibberish, she turned her ear to the side, and whispered in a trance: “…It’s a key, the key to the house of Subject 001… An Xin said She liked the shape of the key and took it out from Lab 1 secretly, but…but I see, there are white bugs on the key…white maggots…maggots…”
Chu Yunsheng: “You didn’t tell her what you saw?”
“No, no… I don’t know… I’m afraid she won’t believe it, she’s not normal… Her experiments are progressing faster than mine, much faster… A lot, a lot…”
Du Ying repeated the words in her mouth, her pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints, and they turned frantically and disorderly.
Ying injection.
Du Ying was hit by An Xin’s death, and she suppressed her emotions through the seventh inquiry. Her mental state was obviously wrong. If it continued, she would be easily contaminated by some unknown existence.
The special sedative developed by the First Research Institute can provide a certain degree of stabilizing effect for one’s own spirit when it is not really infected.
It’s too late.
So most of the time, this thing is supplied to the inside of the security bureau. When some staff members are mentally unstable, they will be injected with an injection to calm down their emotions and not to exploit mental pollution.
But even so, the number of deaths due to mental pollution within the Security Bureau is still rising day by day, and has not decreased.
After the injection, Chu Yunsheng called Cao Manqing to take care of Du Ying. Cao Manqing guessed that Du Ying might have been hit by An Xin’s death, and didn’t say much about it.
Afterwards, Chu Yunsheng took a bronze key from An Xin’s dormitory that obviously did not belong to the Ninth Research Institute, taking off his white coat and changing He put on casual clothes, reported to the communication room, and left the institute calmly for the reason of going out to relax. In the long night, he drove to Rong Chen’s former residence.
