Chapter 42 The Unlit Light

At the age of 30 and [-], Marco J Polo has been working for ten years for the large-scale underground non-profit organization jointly formed by the ten countries - the Multi-Party Pioneer Proposed Experimental Joint Department.At the age of [-], he finally rose to the lowest level of management, and was able to participate in the organization and observation of some large-scale experiments with qualifications.

When he first joined the organization, he affectionately called the Joint Department the "Southern Light" organization, which gave him a warm feeling of leading the world forward.This was also his original purpose of entering the organization, but he soon discovered that it was all a dream.

This is an organization that conducts multi-faceted overall planning, conducts large-scale experiments, and relies on research results to be put into practical use. However, many experiments have indeed deteriorated in terms of methods.

Take an experimental interrogation he's taking part in today.

Country D is the country with the fastest development among the ten countries, but at the same time the most criticized country. Nandeng allocated some of the Stockholm Syndrome treatment projects that have been carried out for 30 years to them. Unexpectedly, in just a short time One case was successful within three years, which was totally unexpected by other countries.However, when they followed up with the patients, they found that the experimental branch in country D was extremely imprecise and had the problem of false positives and missing data, which made the results of this experiment very suspicious, so Lantern decided to use the method of interrogation to test the accuracy of the experiment. sex.

The interrogation is mainly in charge of the psychological department and the scientific and technological department, and he only got the opportunity to observe.Marco still has a biochemical project in his hand, and this day happens to be the day of shift change, and he is on vacation in the afternoon, so he simply stays to listen.

At first he thought it was just an ordinary interrogation, and he joked with his colleagues that he was going to take a look at the informal court.But when he sat in his seat and began to listen to the interrogation, he couldn't help frowning.

This sounds...why does it sound like you're breaking up a couple?

He took the case from the person who was asleep at one side and flipped through it lightly. After 5 minutes, he was even more firm in this idea.

Country D conducted a total of ten experiments this time, and half of them have failed.No, according to the description in the manual, Marco thinks that none of what they do has the possibility of success.For some unknown reason, apart from the six cases including the one currently undergoing interrogation who entrusted personnel from the D National Academy of Sciences, there were actually four cases that used outsiders.This seemed unbelievable to Marco.

There is no word "outsourcing" in his concept. If an institution or even a country takes over the project, it must use the best and most official resources of its own country, instead of using outsourcing opportunistically.

Marco's colleagues are taking over the work of this part of Ruisilan, and the laboratory is located below the base.Both the experimenters and the subjects are subject to 24-hour monitoring, so a situation like today's interrogation will never happen.Marco shook his head while listening, and several times he planned to stand up and leave.

In the end, the interrogation of the subject was over first, and the part of the experimenter still needed to go on.

In fact, such a trial is meaningless. The two parties in the experiment have long been "Stockholm" to each other. People who love each other will only continue to find excuses for each other. Fairness and justice will only appear when the overall situation has no emotion.

Marco walked out of the interrogation hall, bought a freshly made hot dog from the vending machine on the side, stuffed it in his mouth, and planned to leave work directly.He flipped through the information just now, and suddenly wanted to see the experiment done by his colleague.Anyway, my friendship with him is not too shallow, so it's okay to visit it, right?

He stuffed the hot dog into his mouth in two or three bites, and walked to his colleague's laboratory with the materials.The entire base has [-] floors above ground and [-] floors underground.

His own laboratory is above ground, while his colleagues' is ten floors underground.Going down an elevator is always scary.To say why, because the experiments below are not exposed to sunlight.The further you go down, the higher the confidentiality, and the higher the permissions required.

Some experiments with spreading hazards are also carried out underground, and generally this type of laboratory occupies a single floor.Marco reached the tenth floor of the basement, wiped his hands on his handkerchief and entered the laboratory.

His colleague, Lester, is standing in front of the monitor and working hard.Just as he was about to say hello to Lester, the little assistant at the back saw Marco and called out "supervisor" tremblingly.

Lester turned his head sharply and found that it was Marco. He breathed a sigh of relief, "What's wrong?" Marco felt that something was wrong, and Lester's head was covered with sweat, and his expression was very flustered.

"Go and close the door first." Lester said to the assistant, and then dragged Marco to the inner monitoring room.

"Something has happened. One of the two cases I have here has something wrong." Lester took out a tissue to wipe off the sweat on his head, and hurriedly turned on the monitor.

After seeing it, Marco was so frightened that he fell down on the chair.There is no abnormality in ROOM1 on the left, and the situation in ROOM2 on the right is too bad to describe it as an understatement.In a room that was arranged as an ordinary basement, a boy in his teens was holding a blood-red sharp blade that he didn't know what it was. His prison uniform was soaked in blood, and beside him was his experimenter, whose white coat had already turned red. coat.The young man stretched his hands obliquely forward, his eyes closed as if he felt the coming of God, and his expression was peaceful.

"Subject B was the most likely to succeed. There was little difference between his performance and symptoms, and the implementation steps were very strict. But I don't know what went wrong. When he entered the current stage, he seemed to be a different person. .”

"Are you sure that the subjects themselves did not have any mental illness or medical history before the experiment?"

"No! Although his mother was married twice and divorced twice, there has never been any problem between him and his parents!" Lester's voice was trembling.

"That must be his or his and the experimenter's problem. What are you going to do with this late investigation?" Marco held Lester steady and asked him.

"I...we dealt with him?"

"No. You can't do this." Marco immediately vetoed him, "The ultimate goal of the Stockholm experiment is to get patients out of their dependence on the captors. Although it may sound weird, but my idea is that he can be regarded as an early The experiment is done."

"You mean...kill the man who imprisoned him?"

"Although the strong killing intent and hatred he has now is somewhat biased against getting out of dependence and returning to normal society, you might as well give it a try. In this situation, try to perform rehabilitation therapy on him, maybe he Can return to normal society." Marco suggested to Lester.

Lester was a little stunned for a while, but he quickly made up his mind and notified his assistant to call the cleaning team and the medical team.

Ma Ke looked at the booklet he was still clutching in his hand, and thought about the boy under surveillance for a moment, and suddenly felt ironic. Country D's concept of "healing" is "being able to work normally in society and get out of the control of the prisoner", and as long as this young man has achieved the first point, then he is completely a "normal person" recognized by country D.

But this is Ruislan, whether it is cured or not needs further diagnosis.There was a chill on Marco's back. He raised his head and found that the boy was staring at the surveillance camera, as if he could see Marco. He nodded slightly with a calm expression.

When going down the stairs, Marco was still in a happy mood, but now when he takes the elevator up, his mood is completely different.

He kept moving his body, his gaze sank, and he began to doubt his worldview.

never mind.Before you go, go to your own research room to have a look.There might be new bacteria growing in the petri dish.He said so to himself, pretending to be relaxed.

Put on the protective gear and reach into the incubator, take out the plant and observe carefully under the microscope on the side.That's right, it's a new bacteria.His mood suddenly improved, and he immediately started to prepare for overnight research.The experiments he was conducting were of the biochemical kind, studying the fusion properties of two plants.Didn't expect it to come out tonight.

But during the several hours of research, his complexion became more and more ugly, because the composition of the bacteria was very strange.He had never seen this kind of fusion feature before. When the biological blood was dropped on the fungus, the plant could absorb it completely.Two hours later, the bacteria began to release green spores in the incubator.Ordinary spores are invisible, but these spores gather in clusters and float in the incubator, looking like green mist from a distance.

After discovering the new bacteria, he decisively cut off the air purification system in the incubator to prevent any accidents.Since the subjects of his research institute are not infection-proliferating, the indoor filtration system is connected to the outside world, and if any problems occur, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The evening was completely ruined.Marco thought about it, and called the underground biochemistry department to find the elite.The biochemistry department is full of workaholics. Since movies about biochemical weapons have become popular in recent years, all the members of the biochemistry department have put in their best efforts to keep the whole department busy even if there is no result.

A day later, the biochemical department informed Marco: this is a spore that is highly aggressive and aggressive to living things, and all the living things they tested were infected, and cauliflower-like protrusions appeared on the lesions.To be on the safe side, they processed all the relevant bacteria and some data in Ma Ke's laboratory, and transferred Ma Ke to the Department of Biochemistry to study together.

Afterwards, Marco was still thankful that he returned to the research institute at that time, otherwise human beings might really be destroyed by himself.As for the complete analysis, it will be a year later.The Rislan Branch finally completely destroyed the fungus and shredded all relevant materials, and the incident passed without any risk.

So what if he hadn't visited his colleagues, but had gone straight home?

That is, what happens if the spores spread out?

This event will light the lanterns of all, for it will shoot down the sun of this world.

Everyone can only hold their own lights to grope forward in the eternal darkness, hoping that what they meet in front of them is not a hungry wolf, but a kind that is as friendly as themselves.

Once lit, a lantern that cannot be extinguished.
