I Became a God in a Horror Game: 257, Ice Age (day +140)

After letting Muke and the others sleep for two or three hours, both of them woke up with strong self-management skills.

Liu Jiayi sat on the edge of the bed, rubbing her eyes and putting on her shoes, while Bai Liu was putting on a better-fitting jacket for her.

Her previous dress was stained with blood, and there happened to be smaller clothes at Taishan Station, so Bai Liu found them for Liu Jiayi and helped her put them on.

Liu Jiayi's right hand passed through Bai Liu's sleeve and raised the sleeve of her clothes. With the other hand, she threw back the long hair that was pinned to the back of her neck.

Bai Liu let go of the hand holding Liu Jiayi's coat, his eyes fell on the fax records that Mu Ke handed him, and he browsed at a glance.

His gaze paused for a moment on the five words translated and marked by Muke [Corpse Particle ‌], and continued to read as if nothing had happened.

"It seems that the final boss we are going to fight this time is this scientist named Edmund." After reading it, Bai Liu handed the document to Tang Erda next to him, and turned to look at Mu Ke, " What about the experiment report and diary? Have you screened out any valuable information?"

Muke was ashamed: "I'm sorry, I just roughly understood the contents of these experiment reports and diaries, but I can't confirm what they do for the time being."

"It doesn't matter." Bai Liu said, "What is the content of the experiment report?"

Muke raised his head: "The main content of the experiment report has two sections. The first section is the temperature measurement data, which is the daily temperature of various surface sites and ocean areas in Antarctica. It has been recorded until last month. .”

Muke rubbed his forehead with a headache: "—the accumulated data is a huge number, and I have no way to confirm which ones are useful."

Bai Liu looked through this part of the data on temperature statistics. The data are densely packed with numbers and various broken lines, pie shapes and histograms drawn based on the numbers. The professional vocabulary of letters, and the analysis of two large charts that can be seen by people.

Mu Ke looked helplessly at the thick pile of charts.

Even if he has a top-notch memory, it is quite difficult for him to read this kind of in-depth research on a certain scientific research field—just after watching it for a day and a night, he feels that his mental value is about to drop by 60.

"A large number of weather balloons were flown from the Edmond Observatory in the inland Antarctic to monitor the temperature, and many positioning buoys were placed in the surrounding sea area to measure the water temperature."

Mu Ke touched his face and let out a long breath: "Because Edmund's specialty is to predict and construct future weather models based on overall temperature data, so there is a lot of experimental data in this area, and the entire Antarctic Edmund has deployed nearly 600 sites for temperature measurement."

"Edmond believes that these 600 sites are the key to changing the world's climate in Antarctica. They can reflect the influence of ocean currents, stratosphere, sunlight, and crustal movement. They need careful observation and timely feedback, so these 600 sites From thirty-three years ago to one and a half years ago, the site was measured three to five times a day on average."

Muke looked at the thick stack of materials in Bai Liu's hand with unwilling eyes: "——there are too many, so I haven't read them all yet."

Mu Sicheng was stunned when he heard it.

Thirty-three years of materials, only Mu Ke, who is so stubborn, insists on reading it in one day.

Give him thirty-three years and he won't be able to read it all.

Bai Liu skimmed over this topic, and asked again: "What is the experiment report on Edmund's second section?"

Muke's expression turned serious: "It's about the biological experiment data of unknown creature x, which lasted from August 7th of the previous year to December, and the experimental records on this section were recorded in the first two weeks of October. The experiment was briefly interrupted, but then it intensified again."

"Look here." Mu Ke leaned forward to help Bai Liu turn to the experiment diary in early October.

"The temperature records are as usual, but the biological experiment records are blank. The culture medium is not photographed and recorded, nor is it placed in the culture room for constant temperature cultivation, nor is the growth status of these biological tissues recorded. It is completely abandoned."

Muke's fingers slid down the report: "But in November, the number of culture media and small test tubes increased from ten to 300, and they kept calling and mixing cells from other organisms, such as emperors. Penguins, seals, whales and more.”

"And——" Mu Ke's finger stopped on a certain column of the form to add cells, his eyes were complicated, "—— 67 human cells."

Bai Liu looked at the column: "This should be the cells of those researchers at Taishan Station."

Mu Ke nodded, he used his thumbnail to slide a straight edge on the report, and explained to Bai Liu in an orderly manner according to the English on this edge:

"—Yes, Edmund used these monsters cultivated by human cells, and first carried out some basic exploratory experiments, such as division and reproduction, tissue cutting and re-cultivation, death and destruction conditions, etc.—"

Muke has sharp eyes: "After confirming that these monsters have a strong learning ability and a tendency to share with humans, Edmund reported this fact to the political and military control personnel at the Observatory in early October , on the grounds that such an experiment is unethical, requesting that the research be stopped.”

"But in the name of developing military industry, the other side forced Edmund to continue experimenting, and asked him to develop a method of mass reproduction and control of these monsters. The research direction they gave Edmund was—— An undead soldier with complete control and super combat power.”

"Edmund fiercely resisted and condemned, scratched his hands, and chose to strike."

"On October 3rd, Edmund was found stealing the box for the first time, and his superiors punished him severely. They didn't believe what Edmund said about the danger of the experiment, and demanded contemptuously, You are so scared and think that this thing will lead to the extinction of mankind, then you can prove it to us yourself."

Muke took a deep breath: "The next day, they forced Edmund to eat the biological tissues he cultivated himself, even though those tissues have already separated out the embryonic form of human beings, or in other words, they are the human infants. look."

"Edmond began to experience severe psychological trauma. I found him in the infirmary and began to ask the doctor to prescribe antidepressants frequently. According to the doctor's diagnosis, Edmond suffered from severe Symptoms of drug dependence, and at the same time, as his drug intake intensified, his experiments made rapid progress."

"On October 15th, Edmund tried to steal the box for the second time, but his student who was in charge of the joint betrayed him."

"So he was discovered again, and he was thrown to the sentries by the furious superiors for punishment, because his body was no longer human, so the superiors ordered—— [There is no need to have any feelings towards him. ‌With kindness, use his favorite biological experiment to torture him!]."

Muke spoke quickly: "This torture seems to have stimulated him. On October 28, Edmund was released from two weeks of torture."

"On October 29, after a long closed-door conversation between the superior and Edmund, Edmund's antidepressant medication became larger and larger."

"According to the diagnosis in the infirmary, he seems to have some symptoms of schizophrenia and multiple personality disorder, so the doctor is nervously fantasizing that he is from the Taishan station, and from time to time he wails and begs the people from the Taishan station to come. Save him, yelling that he doesn't belong to this evil observatory that bears his name."

"But he seemed to have figured it out, and began to obey the instructions of his superiors. He began to study how to make these produced monsters obey the leadership, and sometimes charged forward on the battlefield without fear of death."

"--this is the result of Edmund's research--memory hypnosis experiment." Mu Ke pointed to a bright red stamped document with two words top secret and said.

He looked at Bai Liu: "Take a look, this experiment is the most valuable information I think."

Bai Liu looked down at the document Mu Ke pointed at.

The memory hypnosis experiment originated from Edmund's early paper deduction-what is the difference between human beings and other human-like intelligence species?

In the long history of human development, more than 300 million years, why is only human beings developed to such a scale? Survive on Earth?

Why did these species go extinct? Why can human beings survive?

And if there is a non-extinct species that has the same or even superior intelligence as humans, hidden in the dark, and developed to this day, what is the difference between them and humans?

Edmund's answer is that human beings tend to be civilized and group-oriented.

——[It is precisely because we are afraid and awed by the lives lost in the tribe, feel pity for the guys who have the same group fate as us, struggle to survive, and help each other as much as we can, Huddling together for warmth has enabled us to survive so far. 】

[Our survival instinct was given by God to create a subconscious civilization. 】

This theory is the end of a paper written by Edmund a long time ago, and in this experiment, Edmund added the second half of the sentence to the ending——

【I want to apologize for my rash conclusion before, our survival instinct also has the subconscious to destroy civilization. 】

[Unfortunately, this consciousness is far stronger than the other. 】

【I will use the method of hypnosis to give these newborn humans these two kinds of subconsciousness at the same time. 】

【However, if the existence of these two subconscious minds does not have a reasonable and realistic memory framework to carry them, these newly born children (kids) will go crazy because of self-contradiction, because they are "born" from one, It is to create and then destroy. Except for human beings, no creature exists for such a boring purpose. 】

【My leader told me that as long as I can produce the cutting-edge soldiers he wants, he can satisfy all my requirements, including allowing me to obtain all the memories of a person's life and input them into the brains of these monsters for reuse All kinds of information induce them to feel that they are a "person" who defends their home and country, making them fight for the so-called justice all their lives. 】

[This reminds me of my friend. 】

【I suddenly woke up, it turned out that my friend, the friend who I was suffering and died after repenting all my life, was once one of the experimental subjects of these high-ranking guys, and I will become what he hates the most ——Leading a group of innocent "human beings" who thought they were creating the future to the abyss called destruction. 】

The latter part of the experiment report describes in detail how to inject the memories of these people into the monster's brain, and the most important point is——

"These monsters don't realize that they are monsters." Mu Ke smiled wryly, "So we have no way to attack you, Bai Liu, because we don't know whether we are real monsters or not."

Mu Sicheng hugged the trembling self: "No, how did they get our memory?!"

"Psychological suggestion and hypnosis." Bai Liu tapped on the paper with his fingers, lowered his eyes, and his eyes were dim, "It is very likely that we were unconsciously ingested memories when we came into contact with the monster Edmund. This is most likely the skill of this monster named Edmund."

Mu Sicheng was stunned: "But we haven't seen this monster named Edmund from the beginning to the end? My monster book didn't light up a new page—"

"—When did it turn on?!" Mu Sicheng was stunned, "I swear I just saw that my monster book was still dark! Why does it light up as soon as I open it now?"

Mu Ke also quickly opened his monster book, and his face sank after seeing it: "Mine also opened a new page, and its skills are really psychological suggestion and hypnosis."

"It is estimated that we need to realize it ourselves to break this guy's hypnosis." Bai Liu glanced at Sicheng lightly, "Also, although we have indeed never seen this mysterious teacher Edmund, but you forgot the monster here Can it transform itself?"

Mu Sicheng was stunned, and murmured: "Yes, who will he transform into..."

Bai Liu looked at the document in his hand, picked up the tip of the pen and scratched it:

"I think there is one more thing strange about this experiment. Human cell suspension X cells were cultured in November. At that time, the Edmund station should be heavily guarded. Edmund was imprisoned in the basement for experiments all day long. It is difficult to get in touch with the personnel of Taishan Station, how did he get these cells from the Taishan Station team members, and then take them back for experiments?"

Mu Ke did not pretend to ask: "Is it because there is someone at Taishan Station who secretly responded to Edmund and stole the cells?"

Bai Liu shook his head, as if thinking something: "There should be someone to take care of him at Taishan Station, but I don't think it's possible to steal the cells."

"—A group with betrayal, in Edmund's eyes, is like a stained white cloth, which is not in line with Edmund's group aesthetics of mutual help and mutual trust."

"If someone at Taishan Station really stole the cells for him, Edmund might kill everyone at Taishan Station instead of choosing to keep them as the fire for the continuation of mankind."

Mu Ke frowned: "But if it wasn't for the cooperation of someone from Taishan Station, how could Edmund easily get the cells of everyone in Taishan Station under heavy siege?"

"Is it possible that Edmund transformed into someone from the Taishan Station who sneaked into the observation station and took the opportunity to get other people's cells?" Liu Jiayi who was next to him asked.

"I had this idea before." Bai Liu pondered, "But at that time, the people at Taishan Station had been trapped in the polar region for a year and a half, and dozens of people faced each other day and night in a narrow field. We are very familiar with each other, and anyone who has missed a day of shaving can tell."

"Even if Edmund becomes someone, if there is no corresponding daily memory, the team members at the Taishan Observatory know by fax that Edmond is conducting some kind of bionic experiment, so it is difficult to get away with it .”

Bai Liu said softly: "Unless he created a perfect [Taishan station member] with a fusion of memory in November, and helped him mix into Taishan station."

Liu Jiayi's expression was also very cold - Bai Liu was right.

She frowned and retorted: "But the time is wrong. According to the information in the experiment report, it takes at least a month to cultivate a mature body. Edmund created the first completed body that integrated human memory in December. Something happened, all the experimental subjects before the end of October were destroyed by him."

Bai Liu flipped forward two pages of the experiment report, fixed his eyes on a certain page, and squinted: "There is still one monster that has not been destroyed by him."

Thinking that he missed it, Mu Ke asked subconsciously: "—Which one?"

Bai Liu raised his eyes: "He himself."

"I suspect that Edmund began to have memory fusion for himself in early October, so he started to have mental problems at that time, and by November, the fusion was basically completed , His psychotic symptoms are getting more and more serious, so the doctor diagnosed him with multiple personality disorder.”

"—Actually, it's not multiple personalities, but the memory of two people in his brain, and he can't tell who he is." Bai Liu said calmly, "And Edmund uses these fused memories , Transformed into someone in the Taishan Station, successfully sneaked into the Taishan Station, and stole the cells of other team members.”

"And Edmund also took advantage of this, hiding in this team member's body, contacting us quietly, hypnotizing and psychologically suggesting us, taking away our memory, and quickly entered the reception The experiment that came down."

Bai Liu said with admiration: "He is really a scientific researcher with outstanding ability."

Mu Sicheng swallowed nervously: "So who has he become?"

Bai Liu glanced at him indifferently: "Isn't the answer already obvious? Isn't there only one person at Taishan Station who has been in contact with you and us?"

Liu Jiayi suddenly recalled the overly enthusiastic graduate student when they arrived: "Fang Xiaoxiao?!"

————————

In the blizzard outside Taishan Station.

Fang Xiaoxiao had an extremely old and vicissitudes expression on his face. He glanced at the brightly lit observation room from a distance, and in the next second, these expressions faded away and became clean and clear.

In the wind and snow, he looked at the incomplete Taishan station team members behind him, with cloudy and painful tears welling up in his eyes, he led the group of ignorant test subjects to a deeper ice field.

The polar night is coming.
