Ruan Mobei didn't even dare to move the camera for a while, he hesitated for a moment with his hand on the console, and finally pressed the direction key.

The moment he saw the pink puddle of flesh in the corner, a huge golden eye appeared on the screen, a line of vertical pupils opened, staring at Ruan Mobei in front of the screen with an inorganic coldness.

Ruan Mobei was taken aback, and jumped onto the back of the chair. His vertical pupils turned slightly, capturing his every movement, and stared at him intently.

what is this?

Ruan Mobei stood up abruptly. He thought of the "evil eye" his father had told him. Monsters have the ability to transmit fear through images. Is this eye the true display of its ability?

But he still couldn't feel the almost crazy fear that other people said, only the moment when the eyes just appeared, he was slightly taken aback.

Ruan Mobei turned off the camera in cell No. 6, opened the door of the monitoring room, walked quickly to the door of No. 6, and took out the access control card.

After passing the iris detection, the door closed silently behind him. Ruan Mobei cleared his throat, uttered the key, and unlocked the voiceprint lock.

The stench came over his face, and Ruan Mobei saw the muddy puddle of meat in the corner at a glance.

It seemed to be a pile of dead flesh, it lost all its shape and no longer vibrated in any form, and Ruan Mobei couldn't even judge whether it was still alive for a while.

He approached cautiously and said softly: "Can you hear my voice?"

silence.

"If you can hear it, just give me a little response, just a little bit."

Still silent.

Ruan Mobei's heart sank.

Seeing the little monster he had taken care of for more than 20 days turned into what it is now, Ruan Mobei didn't know how to react for a moment.

People's hearts are fleshy. He used to be the most accurate gun, but it was not a real weapon after all.

"Please, give me a little response, okay?"

Just when Ruan Mobei completely lost hope, a voice suddenly exploded in his head.

[███! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! 】

The series of sharp sounds were inserted straight into the soft brain tissue like iron rods, trying to mix all the cells and nerves with the cerebrospinal fluid into a ball, Ruan Mobei immediately lost all mobility, he staggered and hit the wall with his back, He clutched his chest and retched.

The brutal and strong mental shock almost destroyed all human will, and Ruan Mobei fell to the ground.Loneliness, pain, fear, despair... Emotions enveloped him like a raging fire, starting to burn from the marrow of his bones, burning all his soul, flesh and blood, and marrow into ashes!

Before being completely swallowed by emotions that did not belong to him, Ruan Mobei raised his hand with great effort, opened the door suddenly, and crawled out inch by inch.

The four gates still failed to block the completely crazy mental shock inside, Ruan Mobei couldn't help retching, his vision blurred for a while, he saw a lot of scenes, red, green, blue, yellow, color blocks intertwined, mixed together Intense black.

He leaned on the wall to get up, staggered and ran to the elevator room, he had to get out of here quickly!Otherwise he will really go crazy!

The moment he rushed into the elevator door, Ruan Mobei finally couldn't hold it anymore, he had to raise his hand and press the nearest button before falling into a complete faint.

it hurts...

It hurts.

It hurts!

It seemed that the whole body was melting little by little, what flowed in the broken blood vessels inch by inch was not blood, but tissue mucus from the dissolved organs, only the barely intact skin was still struggling to hold the red and white puddles inside.

The unspeakable extreme pain caused Ruan Mobei to jump up from the bed in convulsions. Ruan Xianghui was startled, and quickly stood up from the chair, pressing his shoulders hard: "Beibei, it's me!"

Ruan Mobei panted uncontrollably, and stared at the white ceiling with out-of-focus eyes. After a long time, he slowly regained focus and looked at the eager face in front of him.

"……dad."

"Don't think about anything, take a deep breath and calm down first."

Ruan Mobei closed his eyes and did as he did, and those painful memories gradually faded away. There was no longer a left leg that was bitten off alive, fangs that tore muscle tissue, venom that was carried to the whole body by blood, and the venom in the next ward. The companion's miserable cry.

His heart slowly returned to calm, and he buried those cruel and hideous memories in the depths of his soul together with his past self.

Seeing him calm down, Ruan Xianghui let go of the hand on Ruan Mobei's shoulder. The doctor sat back on the chair and said in a low voice:

"The elevator took you to the third floor. Other prison guards who went to work found you fainted in it and brought you here."

"I went to see it." Ruan Mobei murmured, "It was chopped into... a puddle of meat."

"Yesterday they performed Termination 001 on SIU-DW-003."

"Do those executioners know what kind of crime they have committed?"

"They can't see the specific situation of SIU-DW-001, they just need to sit in the control room and press the buttons according to the procedure." Ruan Xianghui paused, "No one can know what's going on except you."

Ruan Mobei closed his eyes again, he was silent for a moment, and said: "When I went in, it was completely dead, I tried to call it, and got some responses, and it did give me a response, I never heard It was... such a shrill voice."

"I couldn't resist those voices at all, as if there was an iron brazing stirring in my head. For the first time, I felt unprecedented fear from inside, but it didn't come from my heart."

"That's SIU-DW-001's fear."

Ruan Xianghui pressed his fingers on the virtual screen: "Tell me everything you want to say, and I will draw up a report and submit it."

"Before entering the cell, I obtained permission and turned on the surveillance of Cell No. 6. A golden eye appeared on the screen, with golden vertical pupils and black pupils, like the eyes of some kind of animal."

Ruan Mobei tried his best to tell what he had seen and heard just now, while Ruan Xianghui recorded quietly, and asked a sentence or two from time to time that he didn't explain clearly.

"The report has been handed in, I don't know what kind of decision they will make, but we have at least made our own efforts as much as possible."

After telling everything, Ruan Mobei also felt a lot better in his heart, and he showed a faint smile: "Thank you, Dad."

"I can't just watch you suffer forever, and... the measures taken against SIU-DW-001 now have more room for improvement."

Ruan Xianghui said, the smart bracelet vibrated, and he glanced at it: "Call me from the laboratory."

"You go and get busy, I'll just rest for a while."

Ruan Xianghui nodded and stood up: "You have a good rest, I'll ask Lily to come and see you later."

"Stop calling people around all the time, she is your student, not a nanny."

Ruan Xianghui smiled and flicked his fingers on his head: "You know she's not a nanny, but she's still drunk in the bar and forced someone to call for rescue?"

"It was an accident that day."

"I'm leaving. Someone from the prison may come to investigate the situation later. Just answer truthfully."

Ruan Xianghui left the ward, Ruan Mobei took a deep breath, and waited quietly and patiently. Sure enough, not long after, there was a knock on the door of the ward.

Ruan Mobei knew what was about to happen, he made final mental preparations, and said in a deep voice, "Please come in."

The sheriff who gave him the breeder's rights before pushed the door in. Behind him, there were several other staff members. Looking at the uniforms on their bodies, they were members of the Ministry of Justice.

"Mr. Ruan, we need to ask you some questions about Cell No. 6 and 1, and I hope you can answer them truthfully."

"If it's something I know, I'll tell it all."

"Please tell us what you did during your work today. The main control room told us that you had applied for the camera to be turned off at [-]:[-] in the morning."

"When I passed the door of cell No. 6 today, I didn't hear any sound, and every day, the things inside would call me..."

Ruan Mobei said again what he had just said to Ruan Xianghui, and after Ruan Xianghui sorted it out, his narration was more careful this time.

The people in the Ministry of Justice frowned. They wanted to find out the violations of Ruan Mobei's operation, but they couldn't find any thorns.

"Okay, we understand the specific situation. Please rest well. For your safety, within the next week, we will remove your permission to enter Cell No. 6."

Ruan Mobei frowned: "Cancel permission?"

"SIU-DW-001 has already caused substantial damage to you. You escaped by chance this time, but what about next time?"

"It is asking me for help again, it wants to tell me that it is very painful now."

The staff members looked at each other and said: "If I remember correctly, in your recent observation report, you also mentioned that until now you still can't understand the meaning of the sound made by SIU-DW-001."

"But emotions can be expressed directly from the syllables. You can feel the emotions that a mute wants to express from the sound of um, huh, huh, can't you?"

The staff obviously agreed with Ruan Mobei's statement. He was silent for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?"

Ruan Mobei finally made his request for the first time: "You can no longer deal with it in this way. If this continues, the situation will only get worse, and its current mental state is close to going berserk."

"Then tell us a more appropriate way to deal with it. We can't keep changing its cells as it grows up. If it continues to develop, the entire Area 51 and even the entire planet will be swallowed up."

"I will find a way, continue to give me permission to enter the cell, and I will try my best to solve this problem."

"We are responsible for your safety."

"The only person responsible for my life is myself."

Ruan Mobei's attitude was very tough, and the staff finally gave in: "Okay, Mr. Ruan, we will seriously discuss your proposal at the meeting, and the results of the discussion will be sent to your work mailbox."

"Thank you."

Before the group left, the sheriff who had been silent all this time nodded to Ruan Mobei who was on the bed, and said, "Have a good rest."

The door was closed, everything was quiet again, Ruan Mobei breathed a sigh of relief.

The water Ruan Xianghui left on the bedside when he left was already cold, so he went down to the ground and poured a new glass, and stood by the window looking at Area 51 below.

At a certain time, the feeling of being watched suddenly appeared in his mind.

Ruan Mobei immediately raised his head to look at the corner of the ceiling. As a top sniper for so many years, he is very sensitive to sight. Even if he is watched by an inconspicuous being in the crowd, he can still judge the direction of the gaze by instinct and intuition. direction.

He couldn't see the exposed surveillance camera, but that didn't mean it wasn't there.

Ruan Mobei looked away, only thinking that someone above was paying attention to him. After all, he was the breeder who had just escaped from death and proposed to change the status quo of SIU-DW-001.

Lily came to the ward in the evening.

Lily hadn't changed the researcher's white coat yet. She came in and asked Ruan Mobei how he was feeling, and then said, "If I remember correctly, today is the day you are going to have a physical examination, right?"

Ruan Mobei thought about it, it really is.

Yesterday, he was lying on the bed after drinking to relieve his worries, and forgot about it.

"Go, I'll take you there now."

"Now?" Ruan Mobei glanced at the darkening sky outside the window, "Can't we do it tomorrow?"

"The time for each of your physical examinations is specially designed, so you can't delay it. Let's go, the spaceship is downstairs."

"Okay." Ruan Mobei put on his shoes casually, followed her downstairs, and the two took the spaceship to the other side of the planet.

Every time Ruan Mobei does a physical examination, there are quite a lot of items, every hair from head to toe is not spared, and he even needs to do a lot of questions to evaluate his mental state, and chat with an intelligent robot specially designed for psychological evaluation.

Those psychological tests should be to prevent him from having war sequelae, after all, what he experienced was too cruel.Ruan Mobei comforted himself like this.

What made it even more difficult for him to understand was that there was a hospital in Area 51 that could do these tests, so why did he have to go to a hospital on the other side of the planet? Every time he had to take a spaceship to waste time on the road, it was really annoying.

Ruan Mobei asked Ruan Xianghui this question, and Ruan Xianghui's answer was quite intriguing. He said that it was to eliminate the influence of other factors as much as possible.

What does this "other factor" refer to?Ruan Mobei didn't know.

Went to the hospital on the other side of the planet, completed the full set of examinations, and entered the early morning of Area 51. Lily accompanied the whole process, recording every result of Ruan Mobei's examination. When it finally ended, he was usually full of energy The girl is too tired to talk anymore.

"Thank you." Ruan Mobei stood on the steps of the hospital, squinting at the bright sky. Because of the jet lag, it was still broad daylight here.

"Go back." Lily got into the aircraft, adjusted the seat to lie flat, put on earplugs and eye mask, "I'm going to sleep, good night."

"Good night." Ruan Mobei was in a coma for a while during the day, and he was not too sleepy. He looked out the window. The spaceship was passing through a desert, and the day and the warm sunlight were quickly thrown behind him. half moon.

He inexplicably thought of the golden eye on the surveillance screen, what is the little monster doing now?Its condition... is it slightly better?

Back at Area 51, it was already late at night.

After waking up Lily and taking her downstairs to the dormitory, Ruan Mobei went back to his own dormitory. He lay on the bed, looking at the stars and the half moon in the night. In two hours, it would be dawn.

A little sleepy, but not very sleepy.

The feeling of being watched in the hospital during the day reappeared, but this was his dormitory, and there could be no monitoring equipment.

Ruan Mobei frowned and closed the curtains, making sure the dormitory door was locked before closing his eyes.

For the next few days, Ruan Mobei insisted on going to Cell No. 6 to observe the monster with his own eyes.

There was silence in his mind. After making sure that it was still alive, Ruan Mobei didn't try to call it anymore. At this juncture, what the monster sent to him was only a painful sound that could drive people crazy.

The meat paste gradually stuck together, revealing its initial shape, perhaps because it was completely smashed, and the value of a single cell had to be increased, and the speed of the monster's rebirth was not as fast as Ruan Mobei imagined.Every day he stood in the stinking prison cell, silently staring at the motionless rotten meat, and wrote the same content in his observation report.

Just looking at it like this was enough to make him feel pain.

Ruan Mobei didn't know how long it would take for the monster to recover to the point where it could calmly transmit its voice to him.

Finally he couldn't help it, and told Ruan Xianghui about his troubles.

"According to previous records, it takes about two months for it to start to expand in size from death to full recovery." Ruan Xianghui said to the young prison guard, "The initial speed will be quite slow. After the most difficult month ahead, the cells If the base is maintained at a normal level, the healing will accelerate exponentially."

Ruan Mobei couldn't help asking: "Is there any way to speed up this process?"

Ruan Xianghui frowned: "Beibei, I know you feel uncomfortable seeing it like this, but have you ever thought that once its recovery time is shortened, it means that it needs to accept the next death faster implement."

Ruan Mobei was silent for a moment: "I know, but I always feel... there will be other solutions."

Ruan Xianghui sighed silently, he turned his head to sort out the materials on the bookshelf, just when Ruan Mobei thought the conversation was over, Ruan Xianghui took out a book from the corner.

"Since the old earth era, people have believed that the moon has magical powers. It affects the tides, and affects the results of divination with profit and loss. Many legends are born from this. Even if it is found that it is just a dead planet reflecting the sun's rays, It still hasn’t stopped people’s beautiful fantasies.”

Ruan Xianghui opened the book and took out a hard card from inside: "Do you still remember this thing?"

There is a round concave mirror in the center of the dark blue card. Ruan Mobei recognized it at a glance, and couldn't help being surprised: "Isn't this the toy you made for me when I was young?"

Because of work, Ruan Xianghui seldom went home, and every time he went back, he would make some gadgets for Ruan Mobei to play with him, and this card was one of them.

Ruan Xianghui named it a moonlight collector. You only need to take this thing to the open outdoors on a clear night, and the special mirror will collect moonlight. After that, you only need to press the button in a dark room to see the collected light. moonlight.

When Ruan Mobei was a child, he liked to watch other people play horror games. For a while, he was very afraid of the dark, and he didn't want to sleep with the light on, so he put the card on the bedside every night, and fell asleep according to the reappearing moonlight.

After his mother passed away, Ruan Mobei cleaned up the whole house, but he couldn't find the card. He thought he had lost it, but he didn't expect it to be kept by his father.

"Use this to collect a little bit of moonlight and bring it to it."

Ruan Mobei took the card, even though it has been carefully kept, after so many years, there are still many wear and tear around the card, he gently rubbed his fingers on the mirror, and asked: "Will it violate the regulations?"

Every day before he enters the cell, he has to undergo a body scan in front of the first and second doors, and he is not even allowed to bring in a smart bracelet.

"That depends on what choice you want to make. I have applied an invisible coating to it. As for whether you want to bring it in, you decide."

Both the risk and the result are clear, should we take the risk of being discovered to speed up the monster's self-healing speed, or let everything go with the flow for safety's sake?

Ruan Xianghui handed over the choice to Ruan Mobei.

Ruan Mobei pursed his lips and clenched the card in his hand.

Tonight is a clear night with a bright moon.

……

"Welcome back, Officer D1263."

The AI ​​in the monitoring room made a gentle electronic sound. Ruan Mobei sat on the chair for a while after clocking in, making sure that the other prisoners were staying in the room obediently, and couldn't help turning his eyes to the dark screen of cell No. 6.

The card full of moonlight from last night was in his uniform pocket.

Ruan Mobei stood up and walked towards Cell No. 6.

He opened the first door and stood in front of the two doors to be scanned.

Ruan Mobei perfectly controlled his breathing and heartbeat, and did not reveal any abnormalities. The card hidden in his chest pocket perfectly escaped scanning, and the voice of permission sounded. Ruan Mobei pressed his fingerprint and opened the second phone in front of him. door.

In this way, he came to the inside of cell No. 6 again.

Because of the characteristics of the monster, all the surveillance cameras here are turned off to prevent accidental injury to other innocent staff members. He doesn't have to worry about being found in the cell.

Ruan Mobei looked at the pool of rotten meat in the corner. Compared with the beginning, its volume had expanded a little, but it was still soft and shapeless.

Ruan Mobei walked up to the rotten meat step by step, and took out the card Ruan Xianghui gave him.

Ruan Mobei pressed the button, and the moonlight collected all night last night was released, shining on the rotten meat.

As if some magical magic had been applied, under the moonlight, the rotten flesh began to squirm, expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye, and becoming more solid.It's absorbing energy from it!

Ruan Mobei couldn't help holding his breath, witnessing the miraculous changes before his eyes.His hand is steady, holding the moonlight collector, providing the monster with as stable a source of light as possible.

I suddenly thought of those nights when I was lying on the bed when I was young, relying on the moonlight to eliminate the fear in my heart.

The moonlight accumulated in it was much less than Ruan Mobei imagined, or maybe the monster absorbed it too quickly, but in just 3 minutes, the moonlight stored throughout the night was exhausted.

But the effect was remarkable, the monster doubled in size, and those voices reappeared in Ruan Mobei's mind.

【██...███...】

Ruan Mobei was refreshed, he still couldn't understand the meaning of the syllables, but compared to the mental pollution that almost drove him crazy last time, his voice was much calmer this time, revealing self-evident weakness.

really useful.Ruan Mobei put the card back into his pocket, his father was really helping him, moonlight could indeed give monsters more power.

"How do you feel?" Ruan Mobei asked softly.

[██, ███...]

The pile of meat squirmed, trying to get closer to Ruan Mobei, but it was still very weak, and the sound coming from it was so weak that it seemed to disappear in the next moment.

Ruan Mobei reached out his hand and touched it lightly.

The muddy meat immediately climbed onto his fingers impatiently, clinging tightly to it. It was obviously a muddy touch, but Ruan Mobei surprisingly didn't feel disgusted at all.

"You need to get better as soon as possible." Ruan Mobei squatted next to it, and even he himself didn't know what kind of mood he was holding when he said these words, "I will try my best to help you find a way to control the situation. There is a way, right?"

Roudui didn't make a sound, it seemed that it really got support from the finger extended by Ruan Mobei, and the whole thing became quiet, like a young baby, it has to grasp the finger of its parents to fall asleep peacefully.

Ruan Mobei never thought...that he could find a sense of responsibility from this thing.

He let out a long breath, silently thinking about what to do next.
