Chapter 38
It was a corpse that was burned by drugs all over the body. From the face and body shape, it could be vaguely identified that it was a man in his 50s or 60s. His hair was burned to nothing, his facial features were damaged, his body was covered with wounds and blood, and his death was extremely miserable.
This corpse was the "living corpse" that Songguang and Fan Ge happened to encounter and bring back to the laboratory when they crawled out of the underground city. The subsequent test results were extremely strange.
"Shanghan, what's wrong?" Songguang asked first. Shanghan had his back to them, so they couldn't see his expression.
"Shanghan?" Fan Ge also shouted.
In response, they heard a few continuous sounds of upper and lower teeth hitting each other. After a while, Han Han's voice rang out. He seemed to be trying to control his emotions and spoke intermittently, "I, I recognize him..."
"Oh?" Fan Ge was puzzled, "This person is a refugee in the underground city. He has no identity information. Have you seen him?""He should be my former teacher." Han Han's voice gradually regained its composure.Fan Ge didn't know how to respond for a while. After a long while, he said, "...My condolences."Han Han shook his head and turned to look at Fan Ge. There was still doubt in his eyes and his voice was hoarse, "It's not because of how deep the feelings are. I always thought he was dead, but I didn't expect that he was exiled to the underground city.""The point is... He is a professor of sacrificial studies."Han Han's voice was not loud, but his words were undoubtedly a thunder in the middle of the night, suddenly thrown into the silent and dark sea, accompanied by a deafening roar, and instantly splashed countless dazzling sparks!This belated information finally provided a new engine for the closed logic chain.
The draft map scanned by the space collision, the altar "lines" seen by Chen Li and Yan Qiang in the underground city, and all kinds of incomprehensible phenomena have finally been pulled out of a clue. The key to solving the mystery of the underground city may be hidden in the body of this professor of sacrificial studies.But it is far from enough to explain the strange phenomenon with the identity of a dead person. The three-dimensional printer may be an old-fashioned scrap thrown into the underground city, but how can a seriously injured and dying refugee find a large number of gold and stone fragments in the underground city to build a material pool?Fang Ge looked at the remains of the professor of sacrificial studies on the screen and fell into deep thought. He put the pipe to his mouth and took a puff slowly. The smoke blurred his face, but made his gray eyes look more vigorous.Everyone was silent for a while.Then the spring of the lighter mechanism was turned, and the electronic cigarette made a "beep" sound when it was connected, and Song Guang also took out the second atomized cigarette.Another large-scale gathering for smoking.
Cigarettes cannot help people solve problems, but they can provide a space to sort out thoughts for a short time."The professor of sacrificial studies was exiled to the underground city. A three-dimensional printed altar frame appeared in the underground city. The professor was dead when he crawled out of the underground city." Song Guang blew out a smoke ring, his expression was still calm."This is fucking..." The smoke gun couldn't help but burst into a swear word."It's a horror story I don't like to hear." Fan Ge frowned and said."Moreover, the video record of the 'altar' we witnessed in the underground city at that time was not automatically transmitted to the main brain according to the settings." Chen Li added calmly, he has been thinking about this matter."It may be because the signal in the underground city is unstable." Song Guang said."Maybe." Chen Li did not dispel his doubts. He leaned over and took a new cigarette particle liner from Fan Ge's cigarette box. The sweet and annoying cocoa particles were finally finished, and he was a little impatient."Is it the same force that makes the dead crawl out of the underground city and the force that makes the scrapped bionic man move?" Fan Ge's tone was more like talking to himself.
Have the underground city and the central city on the ground ever been connected?Yes, but very rarely.Is it driven by the same force? If so, how can such a thing be done and what is the purpose? All kinds of doubts were once again placed in front of them, thicker and more messy than the ash accumulated on the metal table.Chen Li suddenly had a flash of thought in his mind, "On October 20th, I saw a man being chased by a patrol and jumped into the underground city. The location, I remember, was... Gate 33 of North City District.""Is there anyone willing to go into the underground city?" Smoker wondered."I also felt strange, so I followed him that day, but was soon stopped by the giant insect beast," Chen Li explained, "The underground city has a one-way door. I recently learned that the big family will get the password of a certain door through some channels. Occasionally, people on the ground will enter the underground city in exchange for some short-term labor. It is very cheap and only requires comprehensive nutritional pills."
"There are a lot of surveillance on the ground, and it is not difficult to check the identity of this person." Song Guang said.Chen Li shook his head, "He was covered very tightly at the time.""Which department patroller is this?" Song Guang asked."It is a new type of patroller used by the fourth, sixth, and eighth departments."Song Guang fell silent. The relationship between these three departments and RC is indeed not good. It would be difficult to retrieve information."That's all for today. Many things can't be found out by mouth. Shanghan and I will stay to do data model analysis, and the rest of you will go back to work. Today's things must be kept confidential, and secondly, they must be avoided as much as possible. Don't take risks before you find out the truth... The merchants can do it, I'll take care of it. Everyone go back. Some of you who haven't recovered from your injuries should go back and take care of them!" Fan Ge ended the meeting with a speech.
"Boss, I want to work overtime." Shanghan returned to his previous indifferent expression, and at this time raised a thin little hand and shook it.
"No problem, I'll ask Su to make it for you." Fan Ge turned over from the table behind him, walked a few steps to the main brain, dragged a track chair over, and sat side by side with Shanghan in front of the control panel.
"I'll stay for a while too," Song Guang said calmly, "There are only two of you, so you're slow."
Fange tied his hair neatly behind his head, turned his head and showed Song Guang a suave smile, "I don't want to drag Lao Jiang and the others into this.""I know." Song Guang patted Fane's shoulder, stood behind the two of them, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and looked up at the huge screen of the main brain.Chen Li also stood up at this time and pointed at Yan Qiang's head, "I'll take the dog to shave."Yan Qiang pulled his half-long silver hair and cursed with some dissatisfaction, "Damn, you are the dog, your whole family is dogs.""Be careful when you show up." Song Guang turned around and warned.Yan Qiang snorted, "I'm afraid they won't come.""Let's go." Chen Li took Yan Qiang's shoulder.
