To

Pengcheng, Shouwang Building, underground.

The messy blonde John Cavendish sat cross-legged on the ground, looking desperately at the wooden rabbit in his hand.

Since he was taken to this secret and technological underground space on the 17th of last month, he has not left, staying here, and “solving the puzzle” of the “riddled with scars” rabbit wood carving.

At the beginning, Mr. Liang gave him two choices. One was to understand the special feature of the rabbit wood carving within 40 days, and the other was to win the giant snake.

John, who finally escaped from Shekou, naturally made the previous choice. Compared with the horrible and powerful “blood beast” snake he had seen, a wooden rabbit sculpture looks naturally more harmless to humans and animals. .

But for the next more than a month, he stayed with the rabbit woodcarving 24 hours a day, constantly observing, pondering, and fiddling. Every part of the woodcarving and every trace on it has been deeply reflected. Carved into his mind, memory.

Even if he closes his eyes now, he seems to see a rough and ugly wooden rabbit carving grinning at him.

But he can barely see that the tools used to carve this rabbit should be unprofessional. From the various traces on it, we can see the various “tortures” that the woodcarving has suffered, but he still hasn’t figured it out. What is so special.

After he took over the task, Mr. Liang basically ignored him. He did not draw a room for him, nor did he give him any equipment and tools, so he could only sit on the ground in this hall-the only one. Zhang chair belongs to Mr. Liang, he dare not touch it at all.

Mr. Liang occasionally handles some things through the screen raised on the platform in the middle of the hall. Most of the time he is invisible. From the perspective of the opening and closing and operation of the elevator, Mr. Liang often leaves, but because of his special stealth John is not sure about his ability, whether Mr. Liang has left or not, and the elevator opens and closes up, is it just to tease him.

Of course, regardless of whether Mr. Liang left or not, he had no idea of ​​running away.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to run, but he has observed that there are no buttons on the outside of the elevator, so obviously not anyone can use it.

If he can’t use the elevator, he really doesn’t know how he can get out in a space where he doesn’t know how far from the ground is and is surrounded by metal walls.

Furthermore, with that Mr. Liang’s horror abilities and the various black technologies displayed, even if Mr. Liang leaves temporarily, he will definitely be trapped here. You know, besides him, there is at least one “blood beast” giant snake.

If he hadn’t been “Blood Race”, he would have starved to death in this month.

But even if it is him, being locked here for so long is exhausted physically and mentally, and feels a bit crazy.

Especially seeing the passage of time little by little, and the 40-day deadline is very close, and still unable to find the “speciality” of the rabbit wood carving, John has the urge to smash the wood carving.

He knew that Mr. Liang’s “special” definitely did not refer to things that can be intuitively judged, such as the style of the wood carving, the method of carving, and the source of the damaged traces on it.

At the beginning, he wondered whether it was hiding something inside, so he applied to Mr. Liang to cut the wood carving directly, but Mr. Liang directly showed him X-ray scans of the wood carving from various angles and various instruments. The report data after the inspection let him know that Mr. Liang had already done a lot of scientific inspections on this wood carving, and even the various traces of charring, drilling, and cutting on it were all done by Mr. Liang.

Moreover, Mr. Liang also has a large number of reference pictures similar to or next to the rabbit woodcarving image, possible source of the image, and analysis reports of a large number of carving techniques and tools. An analysis of the possible psychological state of the woodcarver provided by psychological experts, the artistic judgments given by some artists, the interpretation of the mood and thoughts of the woodcarver expressed by the woodcarver…

Obviously, Mr. Liang couldn’t find the special wood carving by these methods, so he gave the wood carving to him. According to a Chinese proverb, it is “giving medicine to a dead horse.” Slovakia’s “Blood Race”, can it bring a new perspective of discovery?

He also asked Mr. Liang what angle or method should be used to study this “rabbit woodcarving”, and the answer was “according to your ideas”.

He asked Mr. Liang, why is he so sure that this “rabbit woodcarving” is “special”? Mr. Liang did not respond.

John didn’t know if he really found the special feature of this “rabbit wood carving”, Mr. Liang would let him go, or he would answer his request and make himself a “loyal servant”. But he understands that Mr. Yiliang’s acting style, if he really can’t give an answer within the time limit, the final result will definitely not be good.

Before, when he had to explain the role and source of the “holy blood” in the knife, when the “holy blood” was eaten by Mr. Liang, John still had a moment of worry and panic, afraid of Joel Earl’s anger, I am afraid that my retreat will be broken, I am afraid that I will never go back to “red rose”.

But soon, he understood how powerful Mr. Liang and the organization behind him are. On the contrary, he was a little hopeful that Joel Earl or “red Qiangwei” would come to the door, when the time comes, he can play some role. , At least can provide more information and show other values.

He hopes that the Old Guys of “red rose” will be able to take risks when the “blood source” is insufficient and the stage limit is approaching.

I hope they can compete, create some trouble for Mr. Liang and the organization behind him, and give themselves a chance to play a role.

But he also knows that the Old Guys are extremely patient monsters. They can live so long by being patient and careful, so even if they know that he has rebelled, even if the stage limit is approaching, they will definitely First, look for other alternatives that can be solved in Europe. If you don’t find it as a last resort, you won’t find it.

When he communicated with Mr. Liang several times, he tried to arouse Mr. Liang’s interest in Slovakia’s “red rose”, and his attempts to return to Europe as an agent failed.

At least within this 40-day period, it is difficult to expect “red rose” to delay or get alternative tasks.

John racked his brains and used the various secret techniques, mysteries, legends he had heard in “red rose”, and even the plots of wood carvings, dolls, statues and other objects in various novels and movies he had seen. Go up, hoping to find a correct idea.

He even asked Mr. Liang to get back the white porcelain knife. Although it does not have Joel Earl’s “Holy Blood” and does not have the kind of lethality to other “Blood Race” and “Blood Beasts”, it is still very Sharp.

He cut off his hand with a porcelain knife and smeared his blood on the rabbit wood carving, but the rabbit wood carving did not respond.

He also applied for things like garlic, and carried out various baptisms on wood carvings, but it still had no effect.

So at this moment, looking at the wood carving in his hand, John was full of despair. He even began to wonder whether the reason why Mr. Liang made such an option for him to choose was because he simply wanted to play with him and let him experience 40 days from hope to despair?

Or was it telling him: If he is unwilling to face the giant snake, the end result will be the same torture as this wood carving?

Are you suggesting to him that he, like this woodcarving rabbit, is Mr. Liang’s plaything?

But thinking of the various test reports that Mr. Liang had shown him, and the arrogant, contemptuous attitude of “red rose” and other “Blood Race” that Mr. Liang showed, he again I think it should not be the case. There should be a real problem with this wood carving. Mr. Liang disdains such juggling.

Just as he bit the long ear of the rabbit woodcarving with annoyance, the light in the whole hall suddenly dimmed.

John was taken aback, slowly opened his mouth, raised his head and looked towards the huge brick-like lamp grid above his head, and felt something was wrong—he had been here for more than a month, but he had never encountered lights. There is an unstable situation.

next moment, the light turned bright again, but the brightness became much brighter than normal, and then it started to flicker again.

A computer screen was raised on the middle operating platform, and the top of the screen was stretched out, and various operating platforms that did not know their usefulness came out from the side.

“My lord? Is that you?” John called out nervously, but did not respond.

He leaned over carefully, but saw that most of those screens were black, and some of them were scrolling lines of code fast, so fast that naked eye could not see clearly.

Then soon, those screens all retracted back to the platform, and the lights in the hall went out instantly.

John held his breath and did not dare to move. After a while, the light turned on again, and a giant snake appeared on the wall not far away. John was taken aback. Then he looked again and found that it was off. The wall with the giant snake became a screen again, projecting the situation inside in real time.

Next, the walls next to it light up side by side, some of it’s empty rooms projected out, and some of them also contain strange-looking creatures, obviously other “blood beasts”.

Sure enough, more than one “Blood Beast” was shut down here!

John suddenly became nervous. He was a little worried that Mr. Liang, this seemingly high-tech place, had a problem with the electronic system.

If the partitions that closed the “Blood Beast” were all opened, and he didn’t even escape, he would probably die miserably, right?

But the huge screens that lit up quickly went out again, returning to the normal partition wall appearance, but the overhead lights were still unstable, flashing continuously.

Obviously, the situation is not over yet.

John faintly heard the sound of fine sand falling on some metal parts above his head. It seemed to be in the ventilation duct, but the sound was very small and it happened in bursts, making him a little uncertain whether he heard it wrong. , Maybe just other ventilation systems or cooling systems of some equipment are working.

Suddenly, under the dim light, a whole piece of meat appeared abruptly on the ground not far in front of him-the cut surface was neat and clean, and it didn’t look bloody, but it seemed to be processed and ready to be sliced. Or diced ingredients.

And don’t know why, when he saw that piece of meat, a single thought popped up in his mind-this is rabbit meat.

It was a very strange feeling.

He subconsciously looked towards the wooden rabbit carving in his hand, and found that his hand was a little trembling.

This is a little weird to him. He always thought that he would only tremble and be afraid because of strength and death, and would not be afraid of such weird and mysterious things, because he felt that he was originally weird. A member of the odd.

But at this moment, a chill surged, and he inexplicably thought of some stories that he had read as jokes before, and suddenly understood the feelings of those people in the story.

It turns out that “Blood Race” will be afraid of that kind of thing.

He didn’t know what it was, the fear caused by the unknown, sometimes even stronger than the threat caused by absolute power.

At this moment, the three-level underground maintenance area above John and the Shouwang Building above are also affected. There is no signal in the entire building, whether it is WIFI signal, mobile phone signal, Bluetooth, 2.5G equipment The signal is all lost.

Fortunately, it’s around 11 o’clock in the evening. Few people are still working, and not many people are affected.

But the computer restarts automatically, the lights automatically turn off, and the power is temporarily interrupted, which is still very maddening.

Whether it is John, the maintenance personnel on the third basement level, and the “Shenxing Technology” staff in the Shouwang Building, what I don’t know is that these phenomena are not deliberate or scary, but some The “digital life” who feels that they have been “perfect” is trying to forcibly read the side effects caused by the large storage device hidden in the deepest underground secret space of “Shenxing Technology” without any network.

Before fully integrating into the “super-sensing item system”, Alice could already control and influence some electronic devices through the hyperconnected object, even if they were not connected to the network.

But to obtain detailed data stored on electronic devices, and transmit them directly through the “super-sensing item system”, and then convert them into digital information from the outside world, and present them on other electronic devices, but it is still impossible Do it.

With the help of Little Apple, after completely entering the “super-sensing item system”, both Xiang Kun and Alice thought she had to do this by taking care of the things in the large storage device under the Shouwang Building Come out, the conditions are theoretically available, and the rest is only a matter of time.

Alice also knows very well that Xiang Kun is looking forward to and eager to see the information now, and believes that the information has a high probability to help him answer various questions raised by “Shen Xing Technology” and Mr. Liang, and may even receive The root secrets of some “mutated creatures”.

The result is that, on the one hand, it has just been completely incorporated into the “super-sensing item system”, and a universal method has not been found for the essential transformation of this data. On the other hand, it is too impatient and there are not enough “super-connected objects” around. , So that she caused great disturbances during the data conversion and acquisition.

As a result, Alice completed the experiment tonight and successfully transferred the data from the hard disk of an old desktop computer without internet access to Xiang Kun’s laptop in Chongyun Village, and then took the initiative to apply for the cash to Old Xia. It appeared as a little Old Xia, with one hand akimbo and the other pointing the scalpel to the sky, boasting to Xiang Kun: “Before the sun comes out, Alice will help Boss get those data!”

Then, this is the situation…

The unfinished apprenticeship Alice did not apply to Old Xia anymore, and did not even make a sound. Instead, it displayed text on the computer screen: “That device is not connected to a power source. Use it if it is not powered on. More hyperlinks can be used to obtain complete data. There are not enough hyperlinks, so apply for more hyperlinks.”
