Horror games? Whatever, I'll die.

Liang Zaibing found a more comfortable sitting position, nodded slightly to Lin Yisen, and said, "Go ahead, I'm listening."

Lin Yisen glared at him twice before reluctantly speaking.

"I fell asleep as soon as I closed my eyes, like I'd been hit over the head with a club."

"Soon I felt myself open my eyes again, but the surrounding environment had completely changed. The cage and the player were gone. The room was filled with experimental tables and data racks, and everything was eerily glowing red, as if covered with a layer of red silk."

"But when I looked around, I saw the base that was connected to the ground, and realized that I was soaking in a huge glass jar like that severed limb. Only by looking out through the blood-red liquid could I see that everything was red."

"db-04?"

Lin Yisen shook his head and then nodded. "Not sure, the setup is very similar, it might be another research lab in DB."

"All of this could be explained by what you think about during the day and dream about at night, but then I saw the indicator light at the door flash, the door opened to both sides, and five researchers in full protective suits walked in. We've seen the one in the front before..."

Liang Zaibing immediately realized, "You mean 077?"

“Yes, it was her. She used a robotic arm to take me out of the specimen jar and then fixed me on the operating table,” Lin Yisen paused for a moment before continuing, “The rest was nothing, just the usual lab routine.”

Liang Zaibing's greatest hatred in life was failing a final exam, and her second greatest hatred was being told what to say but not what to say. She immediately picked up an empty plastic bottle and threw it at Lin Yisen, saying, "Spit it out! Don't pretend to be profound."

"It seems like I had the same dream as him..."

Liang Zaibing turned her head and saw that the person who suddenly appeared was a tall, muscular man who was trembling with fear. The scene was extremely incongruous and did not match his imposing physique at all.

Liang Zaibing remembered that he was number 1606, and his name seemed to be Sun Shuo.

1601 and 1602, who were already eavesdropping, immediately perked up their ears and looked at him.

1606 nervously clutched the hem of her clothes, opened her mouth as if to say something, but then closed it again.

Liang Zaibing patiently persuaded, "Don't be nervous. Just tell us and we'll figure out how to solve it. If you keep it to yourself, no one can help you."

1606 hesitated for a few seconds, then stammered in a hoarse voice, "Just like he said, I was also tied to the metal bunk bed, and then that woman took out a huge chainsaw from the closet..."

At this point, 1606 couldn't help but shudder twice, clearly indicating that the chainsaw had left him with a deep psychological scar.

"She sawed around my left elbow, cutting through the flesh, and I saw a lot of blood gushing out and spraying onto the ceiling."

"Then she used a scalpel and a crowbar to completely rip my elbow off. Blood was still gushing out, but the woman didn't care at all. She continued sawing my arm!"

Liang Zaibing rested her chin on her hand, pondering for a long time before finally looking up and asking, "And then?"

1606's face was ashen white, and his dry, chapped lips murmured, "That's it, and then I woke up."

Liang Zaibing looked at Lin Yisen, "Are you like this too?"

Lin Yisen nodded. "The same."

It's now basically certain that this dream was part of the process of db being dismembered, but there's one thing he can't figure out.

"So why were only the two of you dreaming about it?"

1606 shook his head blankly, "I don't know."

If it weren't for someone else having the same dream as him, he would have thought it was just a simple case of sleep paralysis in the middle of the night.

Liang Zaibing's gaze swept over all the cages, and next to cage 1606, she saw an equally empty water bottle.

"Did you drink the red water the researcher gave you, or did you pour it out?"

1606 then realized something was wrong, and after a long pause, his face turned pale, he recalled, "I suddenly got very thirsty last night, so I drank the whole bottle."

"That's it."

People who drink the blood sample will relive the experiences of the blood source in their dreams, perhaps because they only dream of a part of it due to insufficient blood intake.

Does that mean the only way to get clues is to continue drinking the blood samples?

That means the invasion of supernatural forces will expand further, just like with Number 7 and Number 8.

Liang Zaibing's eyebrows were furrowed, and she was undecided for a moment.

"drop--"

The access control beeped, and everyone immediately fell silent.

077 glanced down at the notebook in his hand for a moment, then swept his gaze across them with his usual cold indifference.

She stood there, while the others looked like helpless wild monkeys trapped in a cage, unable to do anything but cower in a corner and wait to be chosen.

Ugh, this feeling is really uncomfortable.

Liang Zaibing lowered her head and pretended to be obedient, trying to minimize her presence.

If possible, he would completely destroy this laboratory, but definitely not now.

077 suddenly said, "Let's measure the Inphic value."

"Yes." A lab technician responded, took out something that looked like a temperature gun from the cart, and waved it over each person's heart.

The lab technician watched as the numbers were read out one by one on the screen, "1601, 71 points."

"1602, 74 points."

"1604, 93 points."

"1605, 102 points."

"1606, 89 points."

077 put away the notebook and looked at them coldly. "1601, 1602, I need an explanation."

"I, I don't know..."

1601 and 1602 were already sweating profusely with fear. They had no idea what the Inphic value was or why theirs was lower than others.

Liang Zaibing had a rough guess.

Compared to 01 and 02, the only difference between the three of them was that they drank the blood sample and explored the db laboratory. 1605, who did both, is Lin Yisen, and has the highest Inphic value.

Therefore, he speculated that this Inphic value should reflect the degree to which they were affected by supernatural forces.

077 quickly lost her patience. She bent her wrist and waved it lightly, and the guards behind her immediately stepped forward, opened the cage, and dragged out 1601 and 1602.

"What do you want? Let me go!"

"Help, please, I'll do anything to let you go."

Any struggle was futile; they were held in place by the guards' iron grip and dragged out by brute force.

"Boom-"

So frightened was he that he lost his balance and fell to the ground. When he realized that the researchers' eyes were all on him, he became even more frightened. This big guy buried his head in the ground like an ostrich.

"I'm so sorry, I lost my balance just now, I didn't mean to..."

Suddenly, 1602, who was being restrained, let out a shrill scream. Almost instantly, his entire left arm disappeared, hot blood spurting out, and jagged teeth marks on the severed end, as if it had been bitten off by some unseen beast.

The hunched old woman's ghostly figure appeared out of thin air, dressed in a bright red funeral shroud, with equally blood-red eyes, chewing loudly with a crunching sound, and drops of blood dripping from her chin onto the ground.

Upon seeing the old ghost woman appear, 1602's pale face, already pale from blood loss, became unusually excited, and his tone was fierce and triumphant, "I didn't want to use the cursed item now, but you forced me to! You're all dead!"

The measuring gun in the researcher's hand instantly spiked the readings, emitting a sharp alarm.

Liang Zaibing cautiously stepped back, her hand pressed tightly against her chest, where the family photo was radiating an astonishing heat.
