Do not disturb the evil spirits [Unlimited]

Because of the bloody incident, Lin Chu was forced to move out of the original floor.

He was arranged to live in a place with a higher security level.The higher security level means that the surrounding monitoring system is more stringent, and there are 24-hour guards; when you go out and enter the corridor, you will find that there are special security personnel on guard every two doors, and there are shifts every eight hours; as for basic necessities of life , all aspects have been planned.

——Simply put, it's like being in a prison.

Lin Chu's face was numb.

"Am I the only one who has this kind of treatment?" He asked a colleague blankly.

"This is the treatment at the supervisor level." The colleague said with a little envy, "So many people surround you, how majestic it is."

Lin Chu: "..."

However, Lin Chu's side was calm for two consecutive days.

It was someone else.

After Lin Chu "moved", several researchers and security personnel were attacked one after another.They live on different floors and have different positions.

In just two days, dozens of people have died.The ways of death are different, but the scenes are all the same tragic-these dead people often portray those bloody characters with the posture of emptying all their blood, and they all write the same content.

This left the security department in a state of distress.

In the security department, there is a special team responsible for eliminating strange creatures.Different from ordinary security personnel, the systems on these purging people are framed in silver-gray, which is very eye-catching.Most of them are veterans or Awakened.

Twice, this group of purgers and the creator of these bloody incidents, a mysterious and strange creature, met each other face to face, and happened to catch the other party making a move.But they exhausted all kinds of ingenious means and emptied countless magazines, but they couldn't hurt the opponent's hair.

It was as if the monster lived in another dimension—a dimension they couldn't even touch.

Moreover, the monster did not fight back, nor did it respond to clear anyone in the team.

It came silently and walked silently in the bloody room, as if it was just here to kill someone, and then left directly.

Soon, the security department also realized that the other party did not choose prey at random.There must be some kind of law hidden in it.

The senior management of the research office has already taken this possibility into consideration.Whenever a victim appears, they will call up all the information about this person, put them together with other dead people, and summarize all their intersections and commonalities.

But in fact, there are not many people in the entire laboratory, and the total number of people doing research is less than 300, and they have handled too many projects, so it is a bit difficult to screen.

"The attack started two days ago... that is, Wednesday. All the experiment logs were normal that day, and nothing special happened."

"It stands to reason that if we want to find the reason, we should also start from the experimental project that has just started recently..."

"The first one who died was an intern who had just become a full-time employee. At his level, he had no access to any advanced projects."

"So the problem really lies in..."

"But that project cannot be stopped. It is a key project named by the highest level. So far, the lives we have put into this project are much more than those who died in the past two days."

"But if this continues, the death toll will at least double. No one will be willing to join the 'Human Face Tree' project. If no one comes to do research, then the 'Human Face Tree' project will be forced to stop ?"

"...It's really crazy. We have been studying this 'human face tree' for more than a day or two. How come there is a problem now?"

"Thinking about it better, maybe it's not the problem of the human face tree at all?"

"Then you mean, this project will continue first?"

"..."

Sitting at the meeting table, Li Zhiming rolled his eyes slightly as he listened to the discussions of these high-level officials.

At this point, they still have to start a discussion on the matter of "whether to suspend the human face tree project", and everyone speaks vaguely and convolutedly-whether it is to continue the project or to suspend the project , That is, no one is willing to jump out and be a decision maker who makes a decision.

"The project can not stop, it's better not to stop." A certain gray-haired expert adjusted his glasses, sighed, and then turned his gaze to Li Zhiming, "Mr. Li, about the origin of that monster, and those mysterious things. Do you have any clues here?"

Li Zhiming has seen many more weird creatures than them.This is why Li Zhiming is a member of the research laboratory.In many cases, he has to give some ingenious suggestions as the founder of "Theogony" in order to be worthy of his status in this research laboratory.

But Li Zhiming is not omniscient.

"Sorry." This time, his answer was to shake his head, "I've never heard of a monster with this feature."

Sure enough, Li Zhiming's words made most people look disappointed.

"But I heard your discussion just now. Since you have conjectured about the origin of this monster, then I trust your judgment." Li Zhiming paused for a while and said, "Let me see the 'human face tree' '?"

The senior management of the laboratory looked at each other in blank dismay.

A senior said: "We may need to apply to the superior first..."

"What are you applying for?" Li Zhiming pretended to be regretful, "I don't even have the qualifications to visit a project that can be participated in by an intern who has just become a full-time employee?"

"No, no, no. It's just because of the confidentiality level of this project... Well, it's okay to let you in and take a look." The senior executive whispered, "Anyway, no one wants to touch that tree now."

"Those bloody characters are amazing." Li Zhiming frowned, the lights illuminated his eyes brightly, making him look very sincere and reliable, "To be honest, about those bloody characters, maybe I can interpret some relevant content, But I'm always a little short of inspiration."

"That bit of inspiration may be on the 'human face tree' you mentioned."

In the end, several high-level officials hesitated for a moment, and gave Li Zhiming the right to enter and exit the laboratory.

He told his teammate Lin Chu about this.

"Li Zhiming: I'm going to see that tree tonight."

"Lin Chu: ..."

"Lin Chu: I hope you don't spit it out after seeing it."

Li Zhiming was willing to go and see the human face tree, but who would lead him there became another problem.

The high-level people once again put on the posture of kicking the ball, pushing each other.In the end, they concluded:

"We should find someone who has already participated in the human face tree project."

People who have participated in the Human Face Tree project are now "pre-ordered by the god of death", and it is not a waste of manpower to send such a person to lead Li Zhiming to have a look.

Then, they began to discuss the candidate for the unlucky ghost.In the end, two people were picked.

One is He Jiangnan, the project director in charge of "feeding" the human face tree—although this person is not dead yet, it will be his turn to count the heads soon.

As for the other person, he was "Chen Wende", who had watched the "eating" of the human-mask tree, and was the only survivor who survived the catastrophe from the strange creature.

Li Zhiming: "..."

To be honest, even though the current situation was under his control, it was indeed beyond his expectation that these high-level officials would choose "Chen Wende" to accompany him to see the Human Face Tree.

After all, "Chen Wende" is a new recruit just recruited by the laboratory, and he was given the treatment of a reserve supervisor. He shouldn't be used as cannon fodder...at least not now.

The main experimental team of the research laboratory has matured, and they have more mature pharmacists available, but they recruited "Chen Wende" originally to find a replacement. The background conditions of "Chen Wende" are suitable, which seems to be a coincidence, but in fact, there are not many people who perfectly meet their requirements.

Therefore, "Chen Wende" should not be a chess piece that can be sacrificed casually.

but why……

Li Zhiming looked at the few guys in the crowd who first proposed Chen Wende as a candidate, and suddenly found that they belonged to the same faction as the two pharmacists already in the main experimental team.

Is it because of competition and want to take the opportunity to get rid of the threat of "Chen Wende"?

Li Zhiming was silent to himself.

Lin Chu, who received the news, couldn't calm down, and sent several ellipses in the Yuanyue chat room.

"Lin Chu:..."

"Lin Chu: Brother, you didn't do it on purpose, did you?"

"Li Zhiming: Sorry."

"Li Zhiming: Just practice your courage."

He did not explain at all, it was not he who proposed to let Lin Chu join the trip.

……

eight pm.

The three met at the door of the laboratory.

Li Zhiming was the first to arrive.He didn't bring much, just a notebook, a pen and a voice recorder.

Unlucky ghost No. [-], a young man named He Jiangnan then took his place.He was originally a refreshing young man, but perhaps he was under too much pressure in the past few days, so his face was very haggard, and the circles under his eyes were as black as if he had been punched twice.

He Jiangnan looked at Li Zhiming very unkindly.

"I really don't understand. Now everyone is eager to avoid that tree, but you are the only one who is in a hurry to meet." He Jiangnan showed a slightly mocking smile, "I heard that you also founded that tree. What theogony? You have seen all kinds of weird creatures too much, can't you stop your curiosity?"

What he said was short of saying bluntly that Li Zhiming was a pervert.

Li Zhiming ignored him.

Two minutes after eight o'clock.

"Chen Wende"—that is, Lin Chu, reluctantly appeared at the corner of the corridor.

His face was already ugly, but when he saw the person standing beside Li Zhiming clearly, his expression instantly became more gloomy.

Lin Chu: "It's you?!"

The guy who fed a living person to the human face tree in front of him!

He Jiangnan let out a "hehe" and said, "That's right, it's me."

The corners of Lin Chu's eyes twitched violently, took a deep breath for a moment, and then asked Li Zhiming, "You also picked this person?"

"He didn't pick it, we were arranged to die with him." He Jiangnan said mockingly tonight, "Is it a surprise, is it a surprise? I heard that you are the only one who escaped that monster. It seems that someone deliberately didn't want you to have an easy time, and this time they picked you again. Did you escape the first time, or the second time?"

Lin Chu gave up questioning Li Zhiming in an instant, and retorted: "If you want to worry about it, shut up, I think you should worry about yourself as soon as possible. I think you have done too many evils, and you don't know how to deal with the retribution. What kind of catastrophe is it!"

He Jiangnan: "You!"

Li Zhiming quickly stopped the two of them and told them not to quarrel.

He Jiangnan and Lin Chu gave each other a cold snort, and did not speak again.

Afterwards, the three confirmed their positions on the communicator, and opened the door of the laboratory belonging to the human face tree.

In the past, at least five people were required to open this door.But this time, there were only three of them.

The Human Face Tree stood quietly in front of them through a layer of experimental glass.

"It seems everything is normal." He Jiangnan heaved a sigh of relief, and took out his diary to write today's record.It's not that he and Lin Chu have tasks, they are responsible for observing the state of the human face tree.

Li Zhiming raised his head and quietly stared at the terrifying monster in front of him.

After a long time, he let out a soft sigh.

"So... this is the Exile."

This is what happens to believers who betray the gods.

He Jiangnan kept writing. He has already written countless diaries, and soon came to the end stage. He seemed to hear Li Zhiming muttering something to himself, so he asked impulsively, "What did you say?"

"..."

A light murmur passed by his ears.

He Jiangnan raised his head impatiently: "What exactly are you going to say, can you speak louder?"

He glared at Li Zhiming's side face, but saw a faint smile on the other side.

Li Zhiming: "It wasn't me who spoke just now."

He Jiangnan: "Who could it be—"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a creepy sight.

That sight... damn familiar.

He Jiangnan cursed secretly, and turned his head stiffly.

Sure enough, all the human faces on the human face tree came to life, their pure white eyes widened, trembling like fish eyeballs, and then looked in their direction precisely through a layer of glass.

"...The human-faced tree has woken up." He Jiangnan's nose was dripping with cold sweat, and his voice was as soft as a mosquito. "We must let it eat. Otherwise, it will start to go crazy."

The madness of the Human Face Tree is enough to kill an ordinary person.

"How to do how to do!"

He Jiangnan hurriedly turned his head, but saw Li Zhiming and Chen Wende standing outside the laboratory door at some point—especially Chen Wende, who pressed the button to close the laboratory door with one hand, with a proud smile on his face.

He Jiangnan's lips trembled uncontrollably: "You guys, what do you want to do!"

"What to do?" Chen Wende said, "We just did what you said, feeding the dough tree."

With a sound of "噗嗤", the layer of experimental glass that originally separated them from the Human Face Tree slowly opened!

From a distance, He Jiangnan saw the pale texture of the human faces on the human face tree, and some black blood stains that had not been cleaned up on the cracks in the laboratory wall.

"Don't...don't!" He Jiangnan rushed in the direction of Li Zhiming and the two of them, but his legs gave way and he fell to the ground. He tried hard to crawl towards the door, but found that he couldn't even utter a louder cry. , "Don't...don't...I was wrong, I shouldn't, I shouldn't—"

"You have fed the human face tree so many times, this time is not bad." Li Zhiming also smiled like Chen Wende, "Being a human being to the end, sending Buddha to the West..."

The blood on He Jiangnan's face completely faded, his breathing seemed to be choked, and he could only let out some sad hums.

In a trance, Chen Wende's resentful words sounded again:

I think you have done too many sins, and the retribution came to you, and you don't know which calamity you deserve!

……

"Ahhh!"

He Jiangnan suddenly threw everything in his hand aside, hugged his head and screamed.

Lin Chu was worried by the sudden awakening of the human face tree, and was startled by He Jiangnan's screams. Naturally, he didn't have a good tone, and immediately reprimanded: "You're dying! What are you shouting for!"

"Sigh." Li Zhiming shook his head lightly and sighed, "He's been tricked, didn't you see it?"

Lin Chu was taken aback: "What trick? Whose trick?"

Li Zhiming pointed at the human face tree.

Lin Chu suddenly realized: "So that's the case. Wait, isn't it, this tree just opened its eyes——"

"Because it is in a hurry to eat." Li Zhiming narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with great interest, "It should have also sensed that the hound is wandering nearby, and knows that it is the prey that the hound is about to kill, so it no longer restrains its ferocity. All I can think about is eating."

As long as the human face tree continues to eat, sooner or later it will complete its "transformation" and become a human form.

It's a pity, after waiting for two days, only three people came, two of them were still immune to its attack.

Seeing the crazy He Jiangnan began to smash the control panel of the laboratory with his head, Lin Chu gave a light "tsk" and kicked him into the corner, the long-simmering resentment in his heart finally dissipated a little.

Lin Chu asked, "Then what are you going to do now?"

Li Zhiming smiled and took out the prepared recording pen: "I plan to send it back to the happy hometown."

Turn on the recorder.

It was a chant that seemed to come from outside the sky, like a mournful weeping, like a wicked laugh.

[Where it ends, where it ends, where it ends...] [Eternal life, eternal life, eternal life...] [No reincarnation, no reincarnation, no reincarnation...]

At the same time, this recording also echoed in all the broadcasting systems up and down the entire laboratory.

Countless people looked up, not knowing the origin of this piece of music.

What happened, they asked.

until the next second.

A group of "hounds" came quietly.
