National destiny: Starting with a coffin, building an aircraft carrier is broadcast live globally.

What was supposed to be a thriller turned into a scene where about twenty people were watching a monster with a face so thin it would give anyone a fever just by looking at it, crying like a baby.

"I can feel it..."

Aurora murmured:

"He was really wronged."

Whether they felt wronged or not, they didn't know, but Sixth Master raised his hand to signal his men to put down their guns, and Red Serpent also led the Vipers to put their weapons away.

A living, communicative experimental subject is more valuable alive than dead.

And there are many more things that can be thought of arbitrarily.

A monster that has completely lost its mind and is so self-harming will not write words or draw smiley faces on the wall.

But if it's a madman, or an adult mind going through a painful and mutating process, what remains will be a warning or a cry for help, not "haha," "bro," or "play"...

Too light and breezy.

It's more like a bored child locked in a room with nowhere to vent their energy.

He is an intelligent being.

However, their mental capacity is not high, or it has degenerated to a low level.

Seeing that he wasn't interested in the employee card, he casually put it away and took another half step forward.

"Don't cry, I'll find someone to play with you."

"Wow--"

The crying stopped abruptly.

The wailing monster abruptly suppressed its tears, its flat-nosed nose twitching as it stared intently at Ren Yi with its tiny pupils.

"W...an?"

It seemed like he hadn't spoken in a long time.

His voice was rough, and his pronunciation was not very clear.

"Yes, play."

They can put on any smiling face they want to use to coax children.

"We have a lot of people here, you can choose any one to play with."

The crowd, who had been staring intently at the monster's head, suddenly turned their attention to Ren Yi:

"?"

However, since the commander has already spoken, there is no point in resisting.

Nathan immediately stood up straight, gave an awkward but polite smile, and prepared to accept this extra task.

Ivan hid his thoughts behind his back.

Esting slowly moved behind Aurora and Luigi.

However, after the monster's eyes swept over everyone, they visibly bulged when they saw Sean's shiny head, and the corners of its mouth stretched into a wide grin.

"Head...shiny...touch!"

亮？

Sean put on a sour face and was about to point his finger and start cursing when the captain grabbed his shoulder and pushed him forward.

"As expected, Sean."

"Look at you, even a test subject who's never seen the light of day can spot your difference from so many people at a glance!"

He manually turned Sean's head toward the monster:

"Bright means beautiful; it's saying that your fur is really beautiful."

Sean loosened his clenched fist.

"Hmph, you have good taste..."

Get it done.

He swiftly and decisively pulled Sean behind him, then looked up at the monster and said:

"He agreed. What's your name?"

"Name... style name, 073."

Such perfect coordination?

Sixth Master narrowed his eyes behind his sunglasses.

He had been wondering what kind of torture method he would need to pry open the mouth of this monster, which had managed to cut off half of his shoulder, but it turned out that Renyi had just sent a bald guy and solved the problem.

"How long have you been here?"

"Long......"

It tilted its head and thought for a long time.

"The lights are off, the masks... they're not coming back. Come, the lights will come on."

"What is a mask?"

"People...prick me...to make me grow taller..."

Are you the only one here?

"So... stupid, always sleeping, he'll get into a fight and die..."

Although 073's answer was fragmented and often unclear, when pieced together and guessed, it contained a great deal of information.

"The masked man is likely a researcher at Blackstone Heavy Industries in charge of human health projects."

Sixth Master analyzed:

"They injected the test subjects with drugs and then observed the mutations, but when they withdrew, they simply abandoned these test subjects."

"Hmph, a bunch of cowards."

Chi Lian snorted coldly.

After making a huge mess, they ran away. That's why those vipers look down on company dogs—they're all birds of a feather.

"So the lights on this floor only turned on after we arrived... So Raymond's group from twelve years ago didn't come to this floor?"

The focus of attention is on what 073 said: "stupid," "always sleeping," and "fighting to death."

In other words, these experimental subjects have various directions of mutation and may even kill each other.

Those that have been sleeping are probably still in hibernation, perhaps the highest-risk type, and cannot be placed in a regular observation room. Could they be part of their mission objectives?

The sleeping 'Glutton' matrix?

This 073, although mentally like a child, has survived for so long among so many experimental subjects, which is definitely not as simple as it seems.

Anyway...

Even if it's an act, there must be an ulterior motive. They're observing first, after all, they're a mobile intelligence source.

As for who should take charge...

"Alright, we'll find out if we keep going. Klaus, get him down first."

The engineer disdainfully stepped onto the chair and touched the ceiling. The ventilation duct instantly softened like noodles, spitting out the little monster stuck inside.

"Bang!"

A slender, disproportionate body slid out, like a dehydrated eel.

He was wearing a tattered hospital gown. Apart from his shoulder being stuck, his body was much thinner and longer than that of a normal adult, and his limbs were like noodles.

No wonder he could cut off one shoulder and move freely through the ventilation duct.

073 fell to the ground without uttering a sound, and the first thing he did after getting up was to head straight for Sean.

"you......"

Sean's eyebrows furrowed, but he was stopped by the captain's gaze. He could only watch helplessly as the monster moved strangely close to him and gave his "hair" a heavy pat.

The veins on his forehead throbbed repeatedly, but he managed to suppress his anger when he thought of the captain's "unique" words.

never mind......

Who can blame him for having such good taste!

"Oh, that's great."

Nathan's face was full of schadenfreude.

"Now you can experience the joys of taking care of children."

......

073 was very familiar with the place and led them through a maze of turns to a heavy metal door.

There were no signs on the door, and it seemed to be open, with only a sliding door for putting things in.

"Inside...the garden..."

073 pointed to the door with some longing.

"garden?"

Chi Lian frowned.

It doesn't look like a garden at all.

But seeing 073's confident look, Ren Yi still gestured for Klaus to open the door.

The moment the door was ripped off...

It was so sweet it was sickeningly cloying, like the stench of countless rotten, fermenting fruits assaulting our senses and making our eyes sting.

The space behind the door was surprisingly empty.

Above, the height is unseen, while below... is a bottomless pool.

The deep purple liquid bubbling inside contains...

Amputated limbs?!
