Pokémon: After rebirth, I joined the Aquatic Products and became a god

When Ji Zhui returned to K Base, a thin layer of snow had already accumulated in the wild.

Ji Zhui had previously judged that he was in the northern hemisphere based on the natural landscape and temperature in the wild. So September was autumn in the northern hemisphere, and there was still the residual heat of the hot summer.

It has snowed for three days in a row at this time, and it has piled up, which is unusual.

Ji Zhui dug up the soil to feel the surface temperature, but it was still normal, indicating that the snowfall was not caused by the internal cooling of the earth itself.

Something must have caused the sudden snowfall.

But now Ji Zhui is powerless even if she wants to. She just hopes that the unusual weather will not affect her plan.

When they returned to the base, no one came to pick up Ji Zhui.

"Why is this like this? Have you forgotten my existence?"

Feeling a little sad for no reason, she had no choice but to return to her dormitory, preparing to rest for the night before returning to the island.

She didn't see a few official team members along the way, and the number of patrols seemed to have decreased a lot.

what happened?

She scanned the entire base with a waveguide and found that most of the people in the base were indeed missing, leaving only a small number of logistics team members and some people in the subject dormitories.

Russell and the others are back!

This is known to be the home base of Project K.

If the number of personnel in Plan K is reduced significantly, it means that they are going to do something big again.

Ji Zhui had a vague hunch that the inexplicable snowfall had a lot to do with the departure of the K Project team members from the island.

Ji Zhui took back the waveguide and walked back to his dormitory as usual, as if he had discovered nothing.

But there was irrepressible excitement in the footsteps.

She wanted to know where Russell had been for the past seven or eight days, and did she know what Plan K was doing with all its forces?

But when she returned to the dormitory, very rarely, all the lights in the dormitory were turned off.

It was still afternoon, and the lights in their dormitory were never turned off during the day.

On the bed opposite Ji Zhui was a figure hiding under the quilt.

"No. 7? Are you asleep?"

Ji Zhui's somewhat eager steps suddenly calmed down. She was afraid of waking up Russell.

But did she really sleep at such an early hour?

Ji Zhui scanned her bed with a waveguide and suddenly found that Russell was crying silently in her direction with tears streaming down his face and wounds on his body layer after layer.

"What's going on here?!"

Why are you crying like this?

What happened to the injuries on the body?

Ji Zhui had seen Russell cry before, either sobbing or howling. This was the first time that he looked so emotionally broken today.

Her heart ached, and she quickly sat down by Russell's bedside, hugging Russell with the quilt in her arms to comfort him.

"Don't cry, don't cry, I'm here. I can help you with anything."

Only in Ji Zhui's arms did Russell seem to find some sense of security.

She stretched out her arms tremblingly and tentatively touched Ji Zhui.

It seemed like he was confirming whether the person in front of him was real.

Is he really here to save her...

"No. 71...is...is it you?" She firmly grabbed Ji Zhui's clothes.

The scene of Ji Zhui appearing in front of her like this had occurred to her countless times in her dreams.

Ji Zhui held Russell's hand hard, causing her to feel some pain.

But this kind of pain feels real, "It's me, I'm here."

"Woooooooo!!!!..."

Russell couldn't bear it any longer, so he lay on Ji Zhui's lap and hugged her waist, choking and crying loudly.

It seemed like he wanted to vent out all the anxiety, anger, fear, and trembling he had felt over the past ten days.

Ji Zhui patted her back gently as he had done many times in the past, waiting for her to finish venting her emotions.

"Woo...I'm so scared...people are dead...many people are dead...they were all killed..."

Russell whimpered, and as soon as he finished speaking, Ji Zhui couldn't help but shudder.

"...Were the official team members the ones who killed him?" Ji Zhui asked in a hoarse voice.

Russell kept wiping his tears, "No... they took us to another island, like a prison... Some people were arranged to be prison guards... Some people were prisoners..."

"David and the others are the prison guards. They killed people...many...the bodies are placed in the prison...it's so scary..."

prison? Arrange for them to play prison guards and prisoners?

This reminded Ji Zhui of a notorious psychological experiment she learned about in her previous life—the prison experiment initiated by Stanford University psychology professor Philip Zimbardo.

In this experiment, he created a simulated prison and asked a dozen randomly selected subjects to serve as prisoners and prison guards respectively, and they completely restored real prison life.

As the experiment progressed, the guards gradually lost control and used their power to mentally control and physically abuse the prisoners. As a result, the prisoners collapsed one after another and even committed suicide.

During the experiment, no matter whether they were prisoners, prison guards or the professor, they unconsciously fell into the psychology of the characters.

The prison guards are obsessed with the supreme rights that the prison brings them, while the prisoners are lost in the submissiveness and being required to obey the rules arranged by the prison and the prison guards.

Even the professor who was supposed to step out of the experimental perspective, ensure the safety of the subjects from a third-party perspective, and stop the experiment at any time, unconsciously acted as a judge in the prison, defending the cruel prison guards and inhumane rules.

It only took six days for this prison to go from harmony at the beginning to complete madness later.

Ji Zhui's mind was filled with many bad conjectures, and he hugged Russell tighter in distress. After a while, he found his voice and asked Russell, "Can you... tell me what you have experienced during this time?" Say it again?"

Russell cried for a long time, nodded and spoke to Ji Zhui.

What happened in these short ten days was so rough that it took Ji Zhui a while to hear it all.

But things were pretty much what she expected.

Russell was taken away together with the subjects when she ended her island-crossing survival last time and returned to the wild. She should have been taken to one of the three secondary islands.

The gray-coated team members only told them that this was the final stage of the experiment and would last for 20 days. They were asked to play the roles of prison guards and prisoners, and then they posted a decent prison code in the prison and left.

The code states that violence is not encouraged, and the prisoner's work and rest schedules are stipulated. Nutritional solutions will be delivered during meals.

In Ji Zhui's previous experiment, at least all the subjects didn't know each other at first, and could barely maintain a stable relationship for a period of time.

But as planned by Project K, these subjects were already divided into factions from the beginning. What's worse is that the extremely vicious faction became the prison guards, and the already weak and kind-hearted faction became the prisoners.

The result can be imagined.
