Horror games? Whatever, I'll die.

The joints are clearly defined, the muscles are smooth, and it looks so fresh that it seems to still be growing on the body.

However, this forearm segment is indeed a specimen, with a clean cross-section, indicating that it was disassembled by professionals.

Of course, it might be revived in a little while.

Lin Yisen was completely unaware of the terrifying crisis that had just occurred, and like a naive young man, he pulled Liang Zaibing closer.

"Go check that out, it might hold an important clue."

The photo continued to heat up, but no danger occurred. Faced with the choice between leaving and exploring, Liang Zaibing decisively chose the path of fortune through risk.

At worst, we can use a cursed item to escape; as long as we can get the key clues, it's a huge win.

Lin Yisen pressed his face against the glass, staring intently at the severed limb in the specimen jar, as if possessed.

Liang Zaibing tugged at him anxiously, "Hey, you..."

"Dismemberedbody," Lin Yisen suddenly blurted out in English.

"what?"

Liang Zaibing's hearing is normal, but his English listening comprehension is abnormal. In addition, he doesn't recognize the words, so he can't understand what he's saying at all.

“Dismemberedbody,” Lin Yisen repeated, “meaning dismembered body, which is also the meaning of db.”

Lin Yisen finally shifted his gaze from the severed limbs, his chillingly fanatical eyes landing on Liang Zaibing. "I think we've found the core of the dungeon."

Liang Zaibing pondered for a moment, "You mean, there are other laboratories with the prefix 'db' used to store severed limbs?"

"It is very likely that if we collect all the body parts, something huge will happen."

Lin Yisen held the specimen jar tightly to his hand, seemingly intending to break the glass jar and take the specimen away immediately.

Liang Zaibing's lips twitched, and she couldn't help but speak up to stop him, "I advise you to calm down. Putting aside whether piecing the corpse back together will trigger a life path or revive a vengeful ghost, if you take this arm now, those researchers will catch you red-handed immediately."

"I don't want to die with you. If you're looking to die, don't drag me into it."

"Before that, we should look for more clues and figure out the identity of this dismembered body before making any plans."

"I'm not that impulsive, don't worry," Lin Yisen assured him confidently, but his eyes remained glued to the severed limb and didn't move.

Could this guy actually have necrophilia?

The photograph on the chest remained hot, and even grew hotter as it approached the body parts.

This reaction...

A bottle of strange, pale red liquid appeared out of thin air in Liang Zaibing's hand.

When the bottle was placed next to the specimen jar, it was exactly the same as the liquid inside.

"...I have some bad news for you to hear."

Lin Yisen was flipping through the experimental records next to him when he said without turning his head, "Just tell me, as long as there's nothing fishy going on behind it."

"The drink you had last night seemed to be a preservative used to soak severed limbs."

Lin Yisen suddenly stopped.

Just when Liang Zaibing thought he was about to vomit, the man actually took out the remaining half bottle of corpse-soaking water and drank it right in front of her.

6.

Since this person had drunk it recklessly, Liang Zaibing, still wanting to make the most of it, asked, "So, did you feel any changes after drinking it?"

Even if someone drinks ordinary embalming agents, they will suffer from diarrhea at best, and poisoning and shock at worst.

Moreover, it's tainted by ghostly energy; it's impossible that it wouldn't have any negative effects.

"I don't feel anything." Lin Yisen hesitated for a moment, then added, "Does a little sweetness count?"

"..."

Open the online store, search for Brain Gold, and redeem it.

Liang Zaibing shoved a packet of powder into Lin Yisen's hand, "Have some."

"You've misunderstood. My mind is perfectly normal." Lin Yisen subconsciously tried to push the things back.

"No need to explain, consider this packet of Brain Gold a gift from me, I won't charge you."

Lin Yisen hesitated, clutching the packet of powder, then put it back in his pocket and continued flipping through the files.

Liang Zaibing also found a stack of books and started looking through them.

Although it was difficult for him to sift through these messy notes filled with symbols and terms, he would not hand over all the clues to another person or accept all their conclusions without thinking.

After some guessing and translating, Liang Zaibing was able to roughly understand it.

4020.11.03

The first db-04 blood sample was injected into 10 experimental sheep in the 7th batch.

1、3、4、6号出现强烈不良反应，注射1h后死亡。

Patients 2, 5, 9, and 10 experienced moderate adverse reactions, but remained conscious; continued observation is advised.

No obvious adverse reactions were observed on the 7th and 8th, and blood samples were injected again 3 days later.

4020.11.06

The conditions of individuals 2, 5, and 9 suddenly deteriorated, leading to their deaths.

Number 10 is still breathing spontaneously, but is unconscious; treatment is needed.

The second blood sample was injected on the 7th and 8th, and there were mild adverse reactions, including decreased appetite and reduced sleep.

The following days were dedicated to describing the detailed reactions of the 7th and 8th.

The thought that behind those cold, hard numbers lay countless vibrant lives made Liang Zaibing feel nauseous and vomit-inducing.

What also made him somewhat uneasy was that he hadn't eaten for nearly 24 hours, and his stomach, which had been rumbling with hunger a while ago, was now completely empty. He also hadn't been to the toilet for a long time.

All human physiological desires are diminishing.

It's like being dead.

He knew the worst had happened; the people at the D Institute had already injected blood samples into everyone while they were unconscious.

Liang Zaibing suppressed her emotions and continued flipping through the pages.

The animal has not eaten or excreted for 72 hours.

Body temperature continues to drop, below 20°C.

Blood pressure decreases and heart rate decreases.

……

But when he turned to the last page, all that was left was an empty backboard and the remaining pages.

"What's going on? Lin Yisen, don't you have the final results in your experimental records?"

Lin Yisen put down the book he had just finished reading and shook his head. "No, they were all torn up."

This is absolutely ridiculous! Just when you're about to reveal the murderer's name on the last page of a detective novel, the culprit vanishes into thin air?

Liang Zaibing gritted her teeth in hatred, determined to find out who the scoundrel was and make him experience what it felt like to be rootless.

After reviewing the other records, the main variables were the concentration of the blood sample and the experimental subjects; the experimental methods were quite limited.

Or are the records for other projects not in this room?

-----

I flipped through a bunch of documents with a dizzy head, and before I knew it, four or five hours had passed.

"It's almost time, let's go back first."

Lin Yisen nodded, put away the simple table summarizing the experimental data, and left db-04 with Liang Zaibing.

The moment he passed through the wall, the photo on his chest, which had been burning hot, suddenly cooled down, leaving him feeling empty and cold.

Liang Zaibing turned around thoughtfully to examine the thick metal wall.

This material seems to be able to block supernatural forces, which is why the family portrait suddenly issued a warning after entering db-04.

why?

As far as he knew, such stringent protection was generally only used in radioactive research.

Looking back now, the researchers' protective suits were abnormally thick.

Connecting these dehumanizing changes, Liang Zaibing had a guess in her mind.

These severed limbs actually possess the power to assimilate pollution, which is why the researchers are so heavily protected.

He didn't know what would happen after being contaminated, but it certainly wouldn't turn him into a superhero who could shoot spider webs.
