It wasn't until Lu Yanli successfully entered the next floor that his brain relaxed and asked, "Are you sure you didn't get it on?"

"No." Lu Yanli shook his head.

There was the sound of sea water washing up from above, and the sound insulation seemed to have lost its effect, and the sound of getting closer and closer could be heard.The door of the room on this floor vibrated faintly, and the staff who had mutated into monsters were locked in the room, but the defense system had completely failed, and the door alone was not enough.

Why not just let me go underground in the first place?Doesn't the research institute have elevators?

Lu Yanli didn't ask this question, he wanted to know what the brain was calculating, so far it hasn't shown enough malice to make people vigilant, but it's hard for him not to doubt it.

It wasn't until Lu Yanli's physical strength was almost exhausted that he finally reached the last floor.

The brain is right, the future self is indeed waiting on the last floor, and he has been waiting for three full hours.

During these three hours, one of them was constantly exhausting his energy while the other was resting quietly, so when they met and had a fight, there was no doubt about winning or losing.

Lu Yanli, who came from the future with a scar on his face, pulled out the dagger, wiped it casually with his sleeve, and put it back.

The brain seems to be puzzled: "Why are you doing this?"

Lu Yanli shrugged, stood by the last door, and said: "Isn't this what you want to see? First reveal the news that I can't coexist with him, and then let him appear in front of me after exhausting his energy. You Isn't it obvious what you want me to do?"

The brain didn't speak, Lu Yanli opened the door and walked in.On the ground, a man who was exactly like him fell down, his heart was bleeding, and his chest had no heaving.

The only remaining staff members of the research institute were on the last floor. Lu Yanli saw through the single-sided glass that they were constantly debugging a strange machine. One end of the machine was connected to the outside wall, and the other end was connected to an unknown twisted black mist.

"It can travel through space?" He couldn't help but move closer, breathing slightly, as if he was afraid of disturbing those people.

"Yes, this is the only machine we have developed that does not rely on unnatural forces to jump in space." The brain is very proud, "In order to obtain the corresponding data, we have been sending investigators through the containment for the past few years. Travel through time and space."

"According to what you said, will you succeed in less than 24 hours?" Rao Yilu Yanli couldn't help getting excited at this moment.He has waited for too long, and has been spinning in repeated time and space. Can he finally leave now?

He wants to go to a normal world where there are no weird things, no supernatural phenomena, and no need to worry about it all the time. He wants to live freely.

The brain was also very happy, and said: "Remember, you must take me with you."

"Why didn't you let those staff take you?"

Brain: "Okay, I'm telling the truth, because this machine needs to be operated manually, and when they are the last one left, the only one who can operate it is me."

"Wait, pretend to be a staff member and go in directly, and bring me in." The brain guided him into the room he was in, and called a staff member temporarily. After Lu Yanli knocked him out, he changed into white work clothes.

"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer..."

The monitoring screens in the research institute were layered with black screens, and the few screens that were still lit clearly showed all kinds of strange creatures in the ocean. Some of them could still be seen in human form, and some had already left the biological category that humans could understand.

Lu Yanli murmured: "Where did these deformed things come from..."

Probably because of the imminent departure, the brain said: "Mutation."

"In the earliest days, it was due to nuclear reactions that caused human mutations. Nearly 90.00% of human genes were mutated. Later, the research institute continued to conduct experiments, hoping to reverse them. As a result, the mutations were only more serious. The space materials used by some scientists attracted other The non-natural matter of space, we discovered that there are other worlds.

Later, a new space-time research project was added in the academy, using strange objects to go to the new world. The development of space-time machines requires data, and investigators need to constantly shuttle.Sometimes, when they come back, they will bring more strange substances from that world. "

With all kinds of mistakes superimposed, the result is a completely collapsed world.No one wants to save it, it is riddled with holes and will die soon.

Lu Yanli remained silent, and looked at a fish with a human head off the screen. The latter's pupils were white, and he was fighting with a giant octopus in the turquoise sea water. The scales and flesh kept falling, gradually revealing the deformed bones.

He turned around and walked towards the group of staff, mingling among them, quietly busy.With his memory and brain hints, nothing went wrong.

24 hours to the end, there is one last hour.

"The space coordinates have been determined."

"Energy ready..."

"Perform the first test..."

They prepared a carefully bred mouse without any mutations, and the cage was placed in the middle of the machine, which seemed a bit empty.

"three."

"two."

"one!"

Rows of levers are pulled down hard, buttons are pressed, displays light up, and everyone waits anxiously, hoping their experiments will succeed, praying for miracles from non-existent gods.

A small group of white light appeared. Gradually, the light became more and more dazzling, and gradually brightened to the point where the naked eye could not see it directly. The mouse seemed to have a premonition of something, scratching the cage uneasily, and screaming, but its resistance was too weak , unable to escape at all.

The white light is getting brighter and brighter, and it is useless to wear sunglasses. Instead, you can see the thin blue blood vessels winding on the eyelids when you close your eyes.After the white light finally dimmed, everyone ignored the sore eyes and looked towards the center of the venue one by one.

They were disappointed.

The cage disappeared, and only a small group of bloody rat corpses with white hairs remained in the center of the field, which was enough for seven or eight people to stand.

"Impossible, there must be something wrong."

"It is impossible for us to fail. How could we fail after we have been experimenting for so long?"

No one can bear such a gap, especially now that strange things have invaded the research institute, and they don't have time to survive another decade.

"Could it be that the energy required to travel through space is too great for the mice to bear?"

"Rather than the energy needed, it is better to say the space pressure that needs to be resisted." Someone proposed a conjecture.

Indeed, don't humans need spacesuits to balance the pressure when they walk in outer space?Between space and space, maybe there is also pressure that the mice cannot bear?

The first person who rushed up to take away the body of the white mouse judged that it did seem to be crushed to death by the outside.As for the disappearing cage, they guessed that the cage was made of a special material and might have successfully led to other worlds.

"Now, who would like to give it a try?" a researcher asked the crowd.

Lu Yanli quietly asked the brain: "Are you sure you succeeded?"

The brain scanned quickly: "The success rate is very high." It just finished speaking, and the speed of speech suddenly accelerated, "Oops, they have reached the penultimate floor!"

This sentence was not whispered to Lu Yanli, but to all the staff.

"Didn't they be eliminated by pouring seawater? Why can they still invade?" A researcher asked in amazement. Of course they knew the operation of pouring seawater, and they all thought it was the correct judgment made by the brain.

On the surveillance, Lu Yanli's figure was erased.They didn't know that a "non-human" from another world had been mixed into the crowd.

The mechanical voice in the brain replied: "Please get ready, there are still four 10 minutes left."

"It doesn't matter, everyone put on pressure suits, let's start now!" The person who asked the question hurriedly said.

Of course they had pressure suits, more than one set for each person, but pressure suits were difficult to put on, so Lu Yanli also got one, and walked out quietly while carrying it while everyone was not paying attention.

He needs to keep his promise and get his brain out.

The half-human, half-mechanical brain was in another laboratory. When Lu Yanli came in, he was so excited that he spoke faster: "Hurry up, hurry up, hide me in, and you can be the first to leave later."

"Take it off directly?" Lu Yanli put down the pressure suit, put his hands around his head, seemed hesitant, and didn't know how to do it.

"Yes, don't worry." The brain directed him, "there is enough room for me in the pressure suit, it's in the chest."

The sense of crisis was even worse. Lu Yanli stared at the brain, clearly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell. The closer his outstretched hand was to the brain, the more intense the goose bumps on the surface of the skin would appear. The instinctive reaction reminded him— -Danger!

When the fingertips were less than one centimeter away from the brain, the brain suddenly sank, and it actually pulled off two delivery tubes and fell on his hand.

"Oops..." This was Lu Yanli's last thought.

He couldn't move at all, he could only watch helplessly as the thin, soft red tentacles stretched out from under the head, like a newborn octopus, climbing on the surface of his skin, and soon came to his head.

He shouldn't have believed himself.

Lu Yanli struggled to mobilize the strength of his limbs, but he couldn't see clearly, the soft and cold touch of his brain was pressing on his face, leaving only a little nasal cavity for him to breathe.He could feel the brain trying to get in from his eye socket.

An eyeball was completely gouged out, and the skull in the eye socket was in severe pain.

It is said that after the eyeball is dug out, if it is not damaged, it will not affect it if it is put back in a short time.

"Click."

Half of the mechanical brain fell to the ground, and only half of the human brain was still drilling through the eye sockets.Compared with hard machines, soft human brains can easily crawl in from the eye sockets.

"Don't worry, you are me, and I am you." The brain comforted him, "I have waited for so long, and finally I can have a real body."

Lu Yanli heard the voice in his head, and the electronic sound was faded away, and the voice was exactly the same as his own.

"We've all been waiting a long, long time."

He couldn't speak, only the remaining brain was running wildly, as if trying to exclude another brain like his.

He remembered what the brain said about "voluntarily being swallowed up", and what it said about "two absolutely identical things cannot exist in the same time and space".

Why, why did he forget such a simple truth?

He remembered the psychological hints he had given to Lin Chu and others, adding one second each time.

There was a sharp pain in my head, and the familiar and strange memories began to blend and swallow each other.

he saw...

The scene where I killed my past self for the first time.

At that time, the past self died voluntarily at his hands. He thought that the past self was for the so-called balance, for the continuation of this closed loop of time and space, but he didn't expect that he was wrong in the first place.Before his death, his past self gave him a psychological hint——

From that day on, every suicide instruction he gave to all members of the institute will be superimposed on the previous execution time by one second.

He was indeed swallowed voluntarily, but only half of him was swallowed, and the other half of his brain got a human body through equivalent exchange.After that, he got half of the brain of the human body and went to the other world, building an ordinary human life for himself.The other half will stay in the research institute for manipulation.

Lu Yanli, who first got his body but lost his memory, wanted to break the closed time loop, but he couldn't break it at the very beginning, otherwise it would cause a series of dangerous follow-ups that he was not sure about.He knew himself best and knew what he would do, so he gave hints to his past self "before he died".

In the past few times, this past self also caused those people to commit suicide, but because the time was too short, it did not cause much change.

After several reincarnations, this time, Lin Chu's death time was extended by five seconds.

That's why she was able to say the last words, which made Chu Xian suspicious, which triggered a series of follow-ups.

The brain knows that after several rounds of consumption, the power of the idol is almost exhausted.Moreover, after several detours and going back to the past, it has richer experience in commanding the research institute, whether it is the defense system or the development of space shuttle machines.

Now, it's about to succeed.

Only a small half of the flesh-white brain remained outside the eye sockets, and suddenly, its movement of squeezing in paused.

It senses danger, but it cannot avoid it.

"boom!"

There was a slight gunshot, and the bullet accurately hit half of the brain.

Outside the door, Lu Yanli, who was supposed to be killed, walked in slowly, put on the safety of the pistol, aimed at the eye socket of his past self, and with a "bang", another shot.

He is not dead.

The future self should have killed him, but the other party left room for some reason. The dagger was inserted near the heart, and he was slightly injured, but not serious.

He remained motionless and pretended to be dead for a long time, until those things were about to break into the last floor, before he got up and chased them.

Even if he didn't integrate the memory of his brain, seeing this scene and guessing, what else does he not know?

Now, those things... have broken in.

Lu Yanli looked down, then tore off a piece of cloth, dragged the brain out of the eye sockets, and filled the eyeballs back.

The future him is completely dead, the carotid artery is no longer beating, there is half a metal brain on his side, and a huge pressure suit.

He quickly put on the pressure suit for his future self, stuffed it with his dead brain indiscriminately, then dragged him out and back to the laboratory.

The machine was running, and the white light was faintly visible. All the other researchers were in a hurry to put on pressure suits. He took another set, pushed the corpse to the side of the machine, and quickly put it on.

"Ahhh-"

A researcher leaning against the wall let out a scream. The wall beside him was cracked, and a thin and long tentacle protruded from the crack, strangled his neck, and stretched in through the gaping mouth.

The screams stopped abruptly, and the surface of the researcher's skin quickly shriveled, and soon turned into a skinny appearance.The tentacle seems to be drinking some kind of straw drink, sucking up one, and immediately looking for the next one.

From the looks of it, it has already adapted to the sea water, and produced new mutations, carrying out the final massacre in the underground research room.

Fluorescent green seawater also infiltrated from the cracks, spreading from all directions to the center.

Lu Yanli put on his helmet, and before he left, the bullets were loaded and aimed at all the researchers who were still alive but whose skin surface was stained with sea water and who were still trying to rush towards the machine.

The group of people were attacked by surprise, fell to the ground, and were quickly dragged away by the tentacles, screaming one after another.

He wanted to do this a long time ago, even if this group of people were not infected, he also wanted to do it.

In the center of the machine, a white light was on, and the pressure suit was extra heavy, providing him with full protection at this moment.It was a vast expanse of whiteness, and he couldn't see anything clearly, he could only feel the pressure that was constantly squeezed around him.

I can't see anything, I can't open my eyes to see, I can feel the glaring white light even when I close my eyes, I have a splitting headache, nausea and vomiting constantly appear in my body, my internal organs seem to be crushed, and there are many, many strange things Feeling has nothing to do with comfort.

But he was happy in his heart.

On the long, painful and lonely road of time and space, the man in the pressure suit showed his first truly relaxed smile.

Whether he succeeds or fails, he has tried his best.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Yanli managed to regain some consciousness. He heard the sound of the sea gently washing against the shore, and felt the lightness of his body being lifted up by waves.

Opening his eyes little by little, the sunlight pierced through the cracked helmet visor and couldn't wait to get into his eyes.

is the normal sun.

He looked sideways, sat up with difficulty, and stared at the endless blue sea.Beside him, a body that was also wearing a pressure suit and also floating on the sea, bobbed and fell with the waves.

Within a few meters of them, there was also a twisted metal mass that looked like it had once been a pet cage.

He stretched out his hand to take off his mask, wanted to laugh, and bent the corners of his lips, and the arc was immediately flattened. After sitting for a while, he stretched out his hand again, and took off the mask of the person next to him.

A face that was exactly the same as him but already blue was revealed, his eyes were slightly opened, and his face was calm.

Half of the human brain also slipped off, floating in the sea, and he scooped it up.

"I am free."

He threw the mask into the sea, reached out to close the corpse's eyes, and whispered to himself, "We are free."
