Horror games? Whatever, I'll die.

The lights went out again.

Liang Zaibing opened her eyes in the darkness.

Lin Yisen crept closer and asked, "What are our plans next? To search all the labs that contain body parts?"

Liang Zaibing snapped out of her daze. "No need. Most of the body parts are in no particular location. We should focus on finding the head."

Lin Yisen was still worried, "If we just let it go so hastily, won't we miss some important clues?"

“We don’t have time. When the researchers took us away in the afternoon, I learned from them that the next phase of the experiment would begin on the third day, and the subjects would be selected from among us.”

"This could be a path to survival, or it could be a path to death. Before that, we need to at least have some understanding of that experiment."

Liang Zaibing's eyes were somewhat unfocused. "And in the dream I just had, that head was talking to me. I guess it wanted to tell me something."

“Okay,” Lin Yisen nodded, “You have a good point, I’ll listen to you.”

Having decided on the course of action, Lin Yisen shook out his cloak and wrapped Liang Zaibing inside.

"Didn't you have other concealment tools? Why aren't you using them?"

Lin Yisen wiped his face with a pained expression. "You don't know the cost of living until you're in charge. That's a one-time use item; it costs a lot of points."

Liang Zaibing hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Sometimes I really can't understand the values ​​of this research fanatic.

Materials worth thousands of points are bought without hesitation, while life-saving items for passing levels are considered too expensive even at 800 points.

The two quickly went in and out, and after seeing the severed limbs displayed inside, they went out to find the next room.

Forearm, upper arm, foot, calf, thigh, pelvis, torso, and finally the head.

His body was cut into 13 pieces, and even in death he could not find peace, as the research institute subjected him to inhuman and insane experiments by extracting his marrow from his bones.

Standing at the end of the corridor in db-13, Liang Zaibing and Lin Yisen exchanged a glance and stepped into the room together.

The surveillance camera in the corner of the room was working as usual, and it was no different from being a decoration for the Boundless Cloak.

As they expected, the limbs displayed in the laboratory were heads.

The head in the transparent jar floated in a pale red liquid, its face peaceful and serene, its eyes silently closed. Long, black hair floated, adding a touch of disheveled beauty.

This face is perfect for being nominated for a campus heartthrob award; his gentle smile alone can capture the hearts of many.

Although the previous images were somewhat blurry, Liang Zaibing still recognized that this was the person who appeared in his dream.

Everything was normal; there was no sign of the corpse coming back to life.

Without the family photo, Liang Zaibing wouldn't have known how terrifying the ghostly aura emanating from this thing was.

-----

"Oh my god, I want this handsome guy! Can you take him away with you?"

"If I can't kidnap the person, I'll even take their head [drooling emoji]"

"Holy crap, there's a pervert here."

“You’re really hungry, you won’t even leave a head behind.”

"I don't care, if you succeed in seducing Bobo, I'll give you a rocket as a reward."

-----

Liang Zaibing pursed her lips speechlessly; these guys weren't usually this generous to her.

Am I not handsome enough?

He had seen through these fickle people.

"What are you daydreaming about? You've got your eye on this boss?" Lin Yisen impatiently nudged Liang Zaibing. If they weren't tied together, he would have rushed up and started rummaging around on him long ago.

“I don’t have necrophilia.” Liang Zaibing smiled, no longer delaying, and began to look through the documents on the shelf next to them with Lin Yisen.

He soon reaped the rewards.

This is a file in a brown paper bag, sealed with a "Top Secret * High Risk" stamp, clearly reminding them, "There are clues here, come and see!"

Upon opening the file folder, the recorder's box on the cover contained the number 077, but the names of the test subjects were scribbled out with a ballpoint pen.

Liang Zaibing could only ignore this for the time being and continue scrolling down.

Experimental sheep: ██

Entered the research institute on May 7, 2017.

05.08 Fasted and deprived of water for 24 hours, adapted well.

On May 05.09th, the child was given 24 hours of sleep deprivation and adapted well.

05.10 was given 24 hours of sensory deprivation and adapted well.

……

This series of cold, impersonal "adapting well" statements made one's heart sink.

Before using his body as the primary material for research, they used these methods to torture their experimental subjects.

What exactly is their purpose?

Despite enduring a month of mental and physical torture, he did not suffer a mental breakdown and retained a relatively clear consciousness and mind.

His resilience did not bring an end to his suffering, but rather a deeper pain.

"██ has passed the initial experiment and is now moving on to the next stage: attempting to contact curse number 78."

Lin Yisen leaned over to look, pointed at the "Curse Number 78," and asked, "What is this?"

"Keep reading."

After turning the page, a very thoughtful explanation is provided.

Item No. 78: Appears as a toy radio, taken from the scene of the three-person massacre in City X, and belongs to the deceased daughter. Pressing the play button will repeat the screams and sounds from the night of the massacre, which can drive listeners insane or even lead to suicidal behavior.

"██ suffered a mental breakdown 13 minutes after hearing the recording played by serial number 78, and fell into a coma 1 hour and 7 minutes later. He returned to normal after leaving the serial number."

I quickly flipped through the pages and found that items numbered 53, 36, 19, and 7 appeared later, all of which were items with supernatural powers.

Lin Yisen pondered, "It feels a bit like a weakened version of a cursed object. I don't know where they got these things from. I can't even come into contact with them in the real world."

Liang Zaibing cursed viciously.

After seeing all this, how can you not understand what this research institute is doing?

"These lunatics! They actually want to create vengeful ghosts using these cursed items!"

“That’s normal,” Lin Yisen shrugged. “In reality, there are always people who want to create immortal warriors or genetic weapons.”

"It's not so harmful for ordinary people to have crooked thoughts, but it's scary when those in high positions of power and those who are richer than a country have crooked thoughts, because they really have the financial and material resources to put their crazy ideas into reality."

If the goal was to cultivate ghost weapons, then the research institute's arrangement for them to fight each other would have been reasonable. On the one hand, it was to observe the individual combat abilities, and on the other hand, it was to judge the effect of the blood samples.

As for the deceased test subjects, they can be recycled anyway, so their deaths are not a pity.

What a perfectly seamless production line!

“However, there is another possibility,” Lin Yisen smiled mysteriously, “their big boss wants to achieve immortality through this method.”

Liang Zaibing scoffed, "Tch, that would be great, let them try their research themselves."

Over the following period, ██ spent more and more time in contact with cursed items, and also demonstrated experimentation with and resistance to supernatural forces.

Even with cursed items whose power was far more terrifying, he persisted in using them.

Of all the test subjects, he was the only one who persevered to the end.

His body temperature dropped below 20°C, which meant his human emotions were largely diminished, but his power increased exponentially, sometimes even suppressing cursed items in reverse.

He is getting closer and closer to becoming a real vengeful ghost.
