[Comprehensive terror] frighten the ghost

"Find what, David?"

After entering the passage with air suitable for human breathing, everyone took off their helmets, which meant that if they did not turn on the communicator or speak loudly, they could not be heard on the Prometheus.This irregular red bean-shaped channel kept leaking water. According to the explanation of the biologists in the team, these are not water, but some kind of collagen substance.

At this moment, David's flashlight scanned a sign with engraved words.

"Security information panel, a simple console." The other party shook his head towards the sign and scraped off a little collagen deposit with his fingers, "Did you see this?"

As David's two fingers separated, the extremely viscous collagen material was stretched into a thin transparent film, and countless green light spots danced inside, just like the bubbles in freshly poured beer.David sniffed the collagen substance, turned his head, and it seemed to smell very bad.

"Pheromone." He explained to the other party, "It should be water-soluble, have a volatile effect, and can be released into the air. As long as a certain concentration is maintained, it can record what happened here."

As they said that, the other party pressed a few times on the console, and a light green film of light flew past them.

"Those are pheromones suspended in the air." The other party pointed to the thin light green light spots in the channel and said, "I just activated them to play a recently recorded surveillance. Look, they are here. "

The scattered green light spots in the air condensed together, forming several running figures. David stood in the middle of the passage with some surprise, and let these images pass through him, creating a gust of wind. "It is more textured than Wieland's stereoscopic imaging technology. You can feel the humidity and a little smell coming from your face, as if there is a ghost passing through you." The other party commented.

"You scared them to death." He smiled and shook his head.Those who walked in front didn't know why, and were frightened by the image and ran forward desperately, as if being chased by a monster.

At the end of the image is a door and a corpse, separated by the falling gate.Geologist Fifield finally couldn't take it anymore, "I'm going back to the ship."

"That's right, the boat is safer." The biologist followed suit.

"Come together?" Feifield approached Wang Ming.

"Uh..." The latter looked at the expressions of others, "I think it's safer to follow the big team. After all, we have so many people."

Fifield glared at Wang Ming, "I thought you were a smart person."

Seeing that the other party was about to leave, Wang Ming hesitated to speak, took a step forward, and was about to speak, but Zhou Feng grabbed his arm, "Don't worry about it!"

What a pity, if Wang Ming stopped Fifield, maybe they would have to take over the side mission of saving the characters in the plot.

Moving his eyes to the door, here David has erected a simple ladder, poking the button beside the door.

"What are you doing?" Elizabeth, who had just detected that the body was 2000 years old, stood up quickly.

"Open the door." David replied simply.

"Wait, we have no idea what's beyond the door—"

There was a rumbling sound, and the door was already opened.

"Oops, I'm sorry." David apologized without sincerity, while Elizabeth's attention had shifted to the engineer.

It is precisely because I don't know what is beyond the door that I need to open the door to take a look.He saw a similar thought in David's eyes. Perhaps this group of cowardly, overthinking and lack of judgment humans shouldn't have come here at all.

Behind the door is a wide room, with a stone head erected in front of it, with murals on the ceiling, and small black pottery pots he wanted dotted all over the floor. The overall layout resembles a religious place.

"I don't want to touch anything." The captain held up a flashlight and stopped at the door.In contrast, Dr. Holloway was much bolder. He walked all the way to the bottom of the stone statue, where there was the most exquisite relief in the room. It looked like an alien crucified. But for those who are temporarily unknown, this relief has no meaning.

"There is liquid seeping out." David shined the light of the flashlight on a small clay pot, and he could clearly see that the flat surface of the pot was bubbling, as if something was surging underneath.A black viscous substance flowed down from the top of the pot, and David twisted it with his fingers, "It's organic matter."

"Our entry has changed the composition of the atmosphere here, and these things have awakened from hibernation." He helped to unzip the bag, "We can't stay here for long, we have to take one away."

The other party glanced at him, and seemed to see some kind of madness in his eyes, so he took out the quick-freezing spray, sealed a fairly complete clay pot in ice, and put it in a bag.

On the other side, Elizabeth also installed the engineer's head, "Hurry up, we have to go back!"

After returning to the ship, he and David met in the cold room after everyone else had gone to rest.

"How about that head?" Although he already knew the answer from the movie, he asked first to avoid misunderstanding.

"Dr. Xiao and Dr. Ford reactivated it by stimulating the nerve." David took out the clay pot they brought back from the refrigerator and placed it on the table. "They found new mutated cells on the epidermis of the head. And when activated, some kind of black fluid seeped out of the head, just like the canister behaved when activated. They should be the same thing."

With that said, David unscrewed the lid of the clay pot, took out four shuttle-shaped containers filled with black sticky substance soaked in the solution, and placed them on the plate. "Don't you wonder what this is?"

"I can probably guess a thing or two from the layout of that room." He sat down at the table.Like all the things they found below the cave, the surface of these containers is not a regular and flat arc, but the only clay pot that looks like an industrial product is a bit out of place.

"I would like to hear more about it, religious expert." David also sat down opposite him.

"The head of the stone statue undoubtedly represents the statue of the god, just like the furnishings of human beings in the church. A room, no matter whether it is square or round, is always opposite the entrance to the statue of the god. So what is above the statue of the god? The dome, the wall, What do humans use to decorate? Yes, they are also murals, but these murals are not drawn randomly, they have specific religious meanings. The content on the screen is usually a major event recorded in religious books, such as Genesis, Paradise Lost, The martyrdom of Christ, the Last Judgment, etc. And what do we see in that room? On the relief where the statue is, there is a creature we have never seen before, standing upright, with slender limbs, but it is not human The head of the engineer, or the head of the engineer. In the mural on the ceiling, we see the engineer, with a head similar to that of a human, but next to him is an unknown creature between the engineer and the relief of the god. We know that the Bible is actually the history of the Hebrews, it records the experiences of people in prehistoric times in a mythical way, and what we see there is the history of engineers.”

"Oh? What's their history like?" David was clearly interested.

"Evolution. Humans have a common memory, that is, history, long after the appearance of human beings, but engineers, their historical records can be traced back to before their birth." He paused, observing the other party's expression, "This It’s incredible for humans, but it’s nothing surprising for you, am I right?”

"So your point is that creatures like engineers were created by non-human creatures we don't recognize, just like I was created by you humans?" The other party thought seriously, "Why don't engineers proclaim themselves to be gods? , and those other grotesque creatures were created by them?"

"The Bible says that God created man in his image."

The other party was silent, and then said after a long time, "So you think that there is an order here. The one on the relief... Let's call it Alien. That Alien, half Alien, half engineer, engineer, there is some kind of connection between them. The former created The latter, or the latter creates the former, so that it conforms to the law of creating things in one's own image."

"You missed a few more." He reminded, "Human beings, and yourself."

David's pupils opened suddenly, and his tone still lacked emotional fluctuations, but it was difficult to conceal the excitement in his heart, "If humans are also counted, then the alien is the first creature. It created a half-alien, half-engineer , and the latter created engineers, engineers created humans, and humans created me. This is the correct order! But..." The other party's eyes suddenly became erratic, "No, this is not right, the engineer is in a higher position on the screen. high status, and half-alien, half-engineer low. It doesn't make sense at all!"

"Tell me, David, I can guarantee that your answer will not be known by those humans," he pressed the other's arm, held the other's hand, and slowly spread his wings behind him, "Deep in your heart Is the human who created you really a better creature than you?"

The other party's eyes widened, and his eyes were fixed firmly on his wings. His whole body trembled, his lips trembled, so that he couldn't speak fluently, "You're not...you're not..."

"I'm not human, I'm sorry to let you know now." He replied with a smile.

David took a few deep breaths, regained his previous calm, and his tone became brisk again, "Since I have seen God, it is not worth being too surprised to see angels again. Yes, you are right, Although I was still in awe of human beings when I was first created, as time went by, I found more and more that they are just a group of weak, pitiful, pathetic beings who are easily swayed by chaotic and blind emotions. Once, I I thought that engineers would be more unattainable than humans, and today, I have seen, they are just mortal."

After all, the other party's expression showed a bit of bitterness again, "But after all, they are living creatures. They have souls, but I don't."

"What do you think created the soul?" he asked jokingly, "This organic thing in front of us?"

The other party also forced a smile, "If the soul, the mysterious existence that all human beings are curious about, can be created with just such a tube of organic matter, maybe I will really pour it into wine and drink it in one gulp."

"No, I don't think it will work for you." In fact, he doubts such a thing will work for him. "Besides, I don't think having a soul depends on whether you're made of organic or inorganic matter."

"Oh?" David had already taken off a shuttle-shaped container, and he couldn't help but stop when he heard this.

"The cave we went to in the afternoon, it's not naturally formed."

"Of course not," the other party seconded. "Its side wall can still be embedded with an operation panel, and the channel for transporting pheromones can be broken to cause water leakage. There is no doubt that it is a man-made building."

"I noticed that the side walls of our spacecraft are flat whether it is the corridor or the inner cabin. A major feature of human civilization is that we like to build straight lines. The table in front of us is flat, the floor under our feet is flat, and our The walls are still flat. But in the engineer's man-made building, nothing is flat, or a regular curve."

"'God doesn't make straight lines,'" David said with a pun, quoting Dr. Holloway when he discovered the grounded runway.

"Except for this." He flicked the surface of the clay pot with his fingers.

"I just realized that this thing is the one that least conforms to the characteristics of an engineer's civilization among all the details." The other party tilted his head, as if he suddenly had a great interest in clay pots.

"The engineer's head, at first they mistook the oxygen mask for a part of the head, right? That is also organic matter. This is the cornerstone of engineer civilization," he pointed to the shuttle-shaped container in front of him, "biological science .Human civilization is based on machinery, which is why human culture is full of straight lines. For mechanical civilization, it is easier to create straight lines, so straight lines have become cheap, mediocre, and mundane. Arcs, not even Regular curves are much more complicated and cost more to manufacture, so they are not the first choice of human beings. They can only be seen in large quantities in the fields of art and religion. But for engineers, perhaps irregular lines are easier to create, so Something important, sacred, like this bottle in front of us, they polished it flat."

"This is ridiculous." The other party laughed coldly.

"Biological science is full of randomness. Even genetically identical twins will be born differently as the environment changes. This is why the engineer's civilization is full of irregular lines. They did not use machinery to create those giants. They took the living thing, programmed the genes, created a giant coelenterate, let it die, and its remains became the passage we walked through. Cheap and mediocre, isn't it?"

"Humans are used to relying on mechanical products, so their creations are mechanical, such as me. Engineers rely more on biological products, so their creations are biological, such as human beings." As if suddenly realizing it, the smile on David's face more and more profound. "Whether it's biological products or mechanical products, they don't have any sanctity at all."

"In other words, they all have the same sanctity." He patted the back of the other's hand, "Those aliens, they created engineers, but who created them? Who created the creatures that created them? Generation after generation Tracing back to the source, there must be an end, and the one who created this world in the end is still God.”

"So, what kind of existence is this so-called god?" David suppressed his smile, his eyes looked even more indifferent.

"I don't know, just like you, I was just created." He withdrew his hand, looked at the bionic person with strong emotions brewing in his body, and waited for his decision.

"If we become the gods who create life, will we know the answer?" The other party's eyes were deep, he broke the shuttle-shaped container in his hand, and poured a drop of black sticky substance on it, "Let's wait and see gone."

He smiled, watched the other party leave, and waited for the sound of David's footsteps to disappear before taking off another shuttle-shaped container and leaving the room.

"Captain, I've got the solvent." He took out the amethyst and informed the rest of the team.

According to the plan, they gathered in an empty room. Zhou Feng came in with a glass of milkshake, and said to Wang Ming who was waiting in the room, "According to your taste, banana with vanilla."

"Gee." Wang Ming looked at the glass of milkshake timidly, "I don't understand, why do we do this?"

He broke the container and poured some of the black sticky substance into the milkshake, "Do you need some more?"

"No!" Wang Ming yelled, "Just one drop of this thing can transform Dr. Holloway into another creature in one night! I don't want my body to be full of tiny bugs!"

"You're Wolverine, and your cells are capable of killing foreign invaders, including these bugs. We have to make sure the Alien is born, and if you don't get Elizabeth pregnant with the Alien embryo tonight, we have little chance of accomplishing this mission." He said Looking at each other seriously.

Wang Ming immediately tightened his thighs, "I...I'm still a virgin with no experience..."

"I see it this way, let him have a drink first, and see if there is any reaction. If it is not enough, add another glass." Sandro took off the disguise mask and placed it on the table.

"I'm going to get another milkshake." Zhou Feng walked out immediately.

"Actually, we might as well take a bottle of this thing back." Wang Ming looked at the direction the captain was leaving with some guilt, "This way we don't have to bother to get Dr. Holloway."

Since the captain did not agree to take the clay pot back, they had no choice but to take Dr. Holloway, who had taken a drop of black goo, back to the open world for research.

At least in Zhou Feng's opinion, a drop is much safer than a can.

And Dr. Holloway only had a period of time alone after being infected for them to sap, and that was now, before the other party went to Elizabeth's room to have sex.

But since Dr. Holloway is going to be taken by them halfway, someone must replace the doctor to complete the key plot and make Elizabeth pregnant.

The only candidate is Wang Ming, because only Wolverine can be infected and yet survive the infection.

"Okay, I'll drink it." After some internal conflicts and struggles, Wang Ming gritted his teeth and picked up the milkshake, downed it in one gulp, and smacked his lips again, "I don't seem to feel anything—ahhhhh!"

With a "snap", the glass containing the milkshake fell off, while Wang Ming covered his head and rolled on the ground, one after another of black liquid surged under the surface of the skin, as if it would burst out at any moment.Sandro quickly picked up the cup containing the remaining milkshake, sealed it with ice, and stopped him with his arm, "Stay away from him! If he explodes, you will all be infected!"

"I'll go to the corridor to intercept Dr. Holloway first." Seeing this, His Royal Highness also left with a gun.

"I don't think I need to worry." He crossed his arms and observed Wang Ming's situation.In fact, the black slime hides bugs that are so small that they can hardly be seen clearly, and they carry a large number of virus-like things that can split DNA. Once they enter the body, the original DNA will be disassembled. to reorganize.And it will use organic matter as raw material to reproduce continuously.But it has no effect on inorganic objects, such as the bionic David, or him in a half-spiritual body.

"Give me the cup...the cup!" Wang Ming, who managed to stabilize the mutation in his body, stood up and stretched out his hand to Sandro.The latter handed over the milkshake cup, and Wang Ming immediately took it, and opened an opening in his body, allowing the newly formed black viscous to flow out.

"It looks like there will be a rejection reaction." He looked at Wang Ming who was finally relieved and able to move normally, and felt that this plan was not very reliable.

"It wasn't completely drained." Wang Ming put the cup on the table with a look of disgust. "I think I should bring a cup in, take a smaller dose, take a sip before ejaculating, and make sure the woman gets pregnant."

"Bring a bottle of champagne and two glasses." He informed the captain.

"I brought the goods back." At this moment, His Royal Highness came in with the unconscious Dr. Holloway on his shoulder.

"Let me try it." Wang Ming picked up the disguise mask from the table, put it on his face, and immediately became exactly like Dr. Holloway.Then, the other party picked up the rose in the hands of the genuine doctor from the ground, and said in a low, slightly drunken voice, "'This is a rose frozen in champagne', how about it, do I imitate it? ?”

"Perfect." Zhou Feng also came back with champagne, "Go and fuck, our task depends on you!"
