don't you have a wife of your own

【Through Saeko's crazy love, you glimpsed the existence that cannot be seen directly. 】

[Player spends a sanity sc1d101d100]

It feels like drowning in the sea.

The ice surface shattered, wrapped in a sense of weightlessness, Xia Youjie felt himself being overwhelmed by the fishy and salty breath.Slow breathing is taken away, and struggling has become an extravagant hope.

It turns out that this is the feeling of suffocating and drowning.

[It is detected that the player's sanity has returned to zero. 】

[Congratulations to the player for reaching the ending Drowned]

Xia Youjie returned to the game hall from the game time, he breathed subconsciously, feeling a faint residual pain in his lungs.But when he actually inhaled oxygen, Xia Youjie realized clearly that he was not drowning.

It's just the simulation perception of the game being too real.

[Does the player want to quit the game? 】

[The player uses the ID card - is the player confirmed to change the status from 'male high school student' to 'part-time aquarium student'? 】

[Player identity confirmation...]

[The player is logging back into the game...]

[Your name is Xia Youjie, and you are a poor sophomore student.In order to earn living expenses for the next semester, you have to go out to work part-time on the fourth day after the new year, which is January 1. 】

【Yesterday you negotiated the price of the part-time job with the personnel of the aquarium, and promised to arrive at the aquarium before noon the next day to join the job.I wish you a happy first day at work~]

Xia Youjie opened his eyes, and in front of him was a dilapidated rental house.

Everything in the house is very simple, except for the necessities of life, there are books piled up in other spaces - a calendar is hung on the wall, and the daily date grid is marked next to it.Xia Youjie walked to the side of the calendar and saw 【Aquarium part-time job】 written next to the day of January 1th.

So today is January [-], [-].

Xia Youjie was thinking, his eyes shifted, and he noticed that there was still a men's watch with a peeling strap on his wrist, and the current time was 23:[-] in the morning.

He picked up the schoolbag on the table and put it on his back, then locked the door and left the rental house.

The place where the part-time student lives is relatively remote, so Xia Youjie inquired about the nearest bus, and then took a taxi to the aquarium.He originally thought that the location of the part-time student would be refreshed in the rental house, and there would be other side plots.But what puzzled Xia Youjie was that he didn't meet any special people or things until he got off the car and entered the aquarium.

Before entering the aquarium, Xia Youjie saved a file just in case.

According to the message on the calendar, I found the personnel of the aquarium - the personnel is a tall, thin young man wearing a pair of very gentle gold-rimmed glasses.

After listening to Xia Youjie's self-introduction, the personnel personnel took a big sip of water, and then stood up: "We are really in a hurry to hire people recently, so we directly assign tasks to you."

"This is the floor plan of the aquarium, take it and find out the way yourself. I will only show you the way once, and you will have to go there by yourself next time. Your job is to clean the office building behind the crocodile aquarium, once in the morning, at noon and at night. The salary is still according to what I said yesterday, are there any other questions?"

Xia Youjie shook his head, saying that he had no other questions.

The personnel nodded in satisfaction, and said, "I'll take you to the utility room to get the cleaning tools."

"Oh, by the way, our curator is a person who hates noise very much, so try not to make too much noise when you are cleaning, leave the office building immediately after cleaning, and go to the staff lounge to rest, understand?"

Xia Youjie nodded: "Understood."

Personnel took him to the utility room to get mops and plastic buckets, and took Xia Youjie to familiarize himself with the surrounding environment—although Xia Youjie was already very familiar with the aquarium environment, but in order not to make the personnel Doubtful, he still walked around with personnel affairs.

By the time Xia Youjie came to the office building shrouded in shadows again, it was already 37:[-].

He entered the office building with a mop in one hand and a bucket in the other, and first pretended to drag the stairs and corridors; after turning around, Xia Youjie found that the building was indeed very quiet, except for the hidden red light emitted by the surveillance cameras in the corner. Not a single living person.

The doors of those offices were all shut.Not every room is an office. In some rooms, you can see the huge equipment parts through the windows.Xia Youjie couldn't quite figure out where the parts of the equipment came from, but he did find some parts familiar, like large instruments in a hospital.

Xia Youjie walked around and went straight to the curator's office on the third floor.

Compared with the other two floors, the third floor was very quiet, even the sensor lights in the corridor were not turned on.Xia Youjie took a deep breath, gripped the long handle of the mop, and walked briskly and soundlessly through the dark corridor.

He approached the curator's office, and pressed the combination lock on it——Xia Youjie wrote down the combination when Zhou Zhou and Chuan Yuejian randomly clicked it.

He entered a series of numbers according to the memory of last week's program, and the combination lock opened after a long beep.

The door of the office was slightly opened back a crack, and the light of bright incandescent lamps leaked out of the gap.Xia Youjie pushed the door open, and his eyes were immediately attracted by the huge desk in the middle of the office and the non-humans behind the desk!

A man sat slumped in an office chair. He raised his head, opened his mouth at an incredible angle, and had a pained look on his face, but he couldn't make any sound from his throat.The muscles under the man's dark wheat-colored skin twisted and agitated, as if there were countless slender worms writhing and swimming underneath.

Immediately afterwards, the man's skin opened slowly like petals, and beautiful silver scales grew out of the cracked and bleeding wounds.Those scales refracted the light of the incandescent lights on the roof, shining like some kind of gemstone.

In the middle of the scales, there are occasionally one or two beautiful white feathers.

The scales spread out unnaturally, like dry and cracked pine cones.From the gaps in the scales, one can see the pure white bones stained with blood red.

The man's eyes began to become cloudy, and then quickly covered with a layer of light gray and white.His body slid down a certain distance along the office chair, and a strange sound leaked from the scales and the hollows of the scales, the sound was very similar to the sound of the sea wind blowing through the cave.

[Player spends one sanity, sc01d6]

Xia Youjie's face was pale, and a nauseating urge to vomit rose in his stomach.But because he didn't eat, he held his throat and bent over to retch a few times, after all, he didn't spit out anything.

Physiological vomiting blurred his vision for a moment, but he quickly adjusted, forced himself to calm down, and then approached the strange corpse behind the desk.

This corpse should be the one he and Oi Chuanyuejian saw in the curator's office last week.

上周目玩家游戏开始的时间是08年3月27日，兼职生的游戏开始时间是1月5日，而日记里面纱绘子偷走钥匙带走塞壬的时间是08年1月5日。

The sirens are still in the lab now—the researchers in the lab should be still there, too.

Xia Youjie traced the timeline in his mind, and by the way made a request to the system: [I want to investigate the corpse. 】

System: [Players can observe by themselves~]

Xia Youjie smiled: [There is no direct veto, which means that it is reasonable for me to roll for investigation here, right? 】

system:【……】

【Player has done a reconnaissance】

[You found a syringe that had been injected in the deltoid area of ​​the right arm of the corpse.There are still some red drug residues on the inner wall of the syringe, exuding a strange and disturbing aura. 】

Xia Youjie leaned over and pulled the syringe out of the corpse's arm—the drug inside was injected very cleanly, leaving only a little residue stuck to the inner wall of the syringe.

The needle seems to be useless.

Xia Youjie thought about it, squatting neatly and using violence to open the locked drawer. Inside this drawer was a plan about the "Andersen's Fairy Tale Ocean Exhibition", but the plan was not Xia Youjie's goal, what he wanted It's that USB flash drive.

After opening the drawer, the USB flash drive was still completely lying in it.Xia Youjie took the USB flash drive out and put it in his pocket.

There is no computer in this office for him to play USB flash drives, but Xia Youjie believes that there must be what he needs in the laboratory.

According to the clues obtained last week, he climbed up the cabinet and moved the monster statue, and the hidden door slowly opened in front of Xia Youjie.A salty wind blows from the entrance, and there are still traces of people coming and going on the office stairs at this time.

Xia Youjie entered the passage, walked through the long stairs, and finally arrived at the corridor, half of which was carved with white reliefs, and half of which had a cross-section of the sea.The door at the end of the corridor was not locked, and there were voices of small conversations, footsteps, and vaguely strange screams.

Xia Youjie squeezed the USB flash drive in his pocket, and sighed secretly: Maybe he will have to live a little more rationally when he goes in later.

I just hope that if there are corpses inside, at least they are human corpses, not monsters.

The voices of those conversations gradually became clear after approaching the gate, and Xia Youjie vaguely heard words such as 'reference value change', 'chromosome' and 'special gene chain'.

Before he had time to push the door open, the door was opened from the inside - the man who opened the door was tall, haggard and pale.He frowned and looked at Xia Youjie. When he saw the work clothes on Xia Youjie, the man's eyes flashed with disgust, and he said bluntly: "What's the reminder? The last high-purity reagent has been given to you, and that kind of thing needs to be made. The third one will take at least four months, and we are not working machines, don’t we need to eat, drink and sleep?”

"Also, there are not enough experimental products, and the siren's blood is about to run out. You go back and tell Kishine that mass production of this kind of thing is impossible, and human technology cannot do it. Let him die quickly!"

Xia Youjie glanced at the work badge on the man's chest, on which was written the man's name: Beicun Xinming.

To be honest, although the name is unfamiliar, Xia Youjie is no stranger to this man - he sees this man every week, and this man almost killed Saeko last week.

The murderer who killed Saeko in Zhou Mu should be the one who was not wrong.

Xia Youjie stepped back a little, and said, "Mr. Kishine has something to convey to me."

Beicun Xinming frowned, and approached him a little: "What does he want to do..."

Before he could finish his words, the young man in overalls in front of him suddenly punched Beicun Xinming's Adam's apple like lightning!Beicun Xinming only felt a severe pain in his throat, and he bent down unconsciously, and before he regained consciousness, a greater pain came from the back of his neck!

Beicun Xinming let out a muffled snort and fell to the ground.

Xia Youjie dragged the fainted Beicun Xinming aside, and exchanged his work clothes with the clothes of the experimental staff on Beicun Xinming's body - Beicun Xinming was not as tall as Xia Youjie, but he was still a tall man. Xia Youjie could barely tuck himself into his overalls.

After finishing all this, he pulled up the collar of his overalls to cover the lower half of his face, and walked into the outside of the laboratory openly.

Dozens of cement pools are distributed outside the laboratory according to the layout of a certain constellation, and the pools are filled with light red liquid.But at this moment, those pools are no longer filled with unknown bones, but genuine human beings!

They fell limply into the pool, making tiny struggling sounds.Whenever someone tried to climb up, standing by, the researchers in protective suits numbly and expertly beat them down with a long metal pole.

The weak wailing that Xia Youjie heard outside the door before came from the mouths of the 'experiments' in the pool.

He forced himself to look away, but his face became uneasy.

At this time, the voices of other researchers came from behind Xia Youjie: "Beicun, who was just outside the door?"

Xia Youjie lowered his voice, imitating Beicun Xinming's voice: "Mr. Kishine's people, come to urge the reagents."

After a moment of silence, the researcher who had just asked Xia Youjie let out a scream of collapse: "Reagent! Reagent! Reagent again! Why don't they give up after failing so many times?!"

"It's said that they are sirens and not humans. What is wrong with their brains and they want to mix the genes of the two together? Does he think they are creating gods? He is creating monsters! Monsters that destroy all mankind -"

Shouting to the back, he has become exhausted.The colleague next to him rushed forward and pinned him to the ground, skillfully took out the mouth ball and stuffed it into his mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide.

Every researcher had a mechanical numbness on their faces, as if they wouldn't blink again no matter what was happening in front of them.It was because of this numbness that Xia Youjie was able to sneak in without being discovered.

If it was a sane person, he would naturally be able to easily tell the difference between Xia Youjie and Beicun Xinming.

Xia Youjie's eyes fell on the inner door of the laboratory - behind the inner door was the siren.Or... See you at Chuanyue.

He didn't know which name to use to call each other.

Reaching out to fumble for the protective clothing on his body, Xia Youjie found a small key in the inside pocket of the clothes.He took out the key, and it turned out to be the key of the inner door; this should be one of the few keys that Beicun Xinming had, and it belonged to him.

As for the other keys on his body, Xia Youjie was more inclined to collect them after Kitamura Xinming escaped from the laboratory and killed other staff members after all the laboratory members went crazy.

The group of researchers behind him were busy subduing their hysterical colleagues, so they had no time to take care of Xia Youjie for the time being.Xia Youjie approached the inner door, took out the key and slowly inserted it into the lock hole.

With the slight sound of gears engaging, the inner door opened.

It wasn't the silence that Xia Youjie imagined inside. On the contrary, there were five people inside.They looked up at Xia Youjie the moment Xia Youjie opened the door - they just gave Xia Youjie a cold look, then lowered their heads.

When the man closest to Xia Youjie lowered his head, Xia Youjie saw a strange symbol on the back of his neck.But soon that symbol was covered by the collar.

The man had a thick cowhide notebook in his hand.

The research room was clean and tidy, and the place where there should have been broken glass and black and red blood was covered by a metal door.Xia Youjie looked at the door - it was still a password door.

At this time, the man with the strange symbol on the back of his neck said: "The password is 0401. If you want to go in, please wear a full set of protection, cover your eyes, ears, and hands. It's okay if you don't want to wear it."

The man raised his head, looking at Xia Youjie with his deep purple eyes, which obviously had the characteristics of a foreigner: "After you die, we will use your corpse as a test object and put it into a new round of genetic research."

He speaks clearly and his eyes are clear and clear.But he gave Xia Youjie a very strange sense of disobedience, as if there was another kind of creature living under this human skin.

In the end, Xia Youjie didn't choose to wear protective clothing. He needed to verify a conjecture of his own, and the protective clothing would only hinder him.

Walking to the password door and entering the password that the man just provided, the door slightly opened a thin crack that could only be squeezed through if people worked sideways.Xia Youjie took a little effort to squeeze in, but he didn't see the so-called iceberg right away.

But the temperature inside is indeed much lower than outside.

It is a piece of white, the pure white cuts off everything.Xia Youjie approached and poked the white color, and found that the dazzling thing was actually something similar to a screen.

He moved forward along the white isolation belt, and after making a big turn, a huge block of ice that he was familiar with finally appeared in front of his eyes - the beautiful non-human sleeping in the ice block was completely different from what Xia Youjie had seen before.

The creature inside the ice was facing Xia Youjie with its back facing away, with light apricot-colored long hair spread out, and a smooth back exposed.At the place of the shoulder blades on his back, there were two horrible wounds where the flesh rolled open.

The root of the broken wing bone spouted flesh and blood, and the thick black and red blood flowed down the white skin, most of which diffused into the ice, rendering the four sides of the ice an irregular red.

The long and beautiful silver-white fish tail was curled up, and blood was also dripping from the gaps in the scales.

Xia Youjie breathed lightly unconsciously, and then approached.

The closer he got, the colder he felt, but he knew that Ji Chuanyuejian's body was not cold; Ji Chuanyuejian's body was always hot and soft, unlike these ice cubes.

The fish tail in the ice suddenly swayed, as flexible as in water.

Immediately afterwards, he turned his head, and the long light almond-colored hair flowed along with his movements. On the pale and slender neck, the pure black leather collar tightly drew a scarlet trace.

The moment they looked at each other, the powerful force majeure almost shattered Xia Youjie's brain.He couldn't think, he seemed to forget to breathe, and he couldn't even feel his own existence.

Only the siren's indifferent, honey-colored eyes are as indifferent as looking down on ants.
