Soul Invasion [Rebirth]

The alarm was sounded.

The laboratory door is automatically closed immediately, and all movable doors on this floor are immediately locked with a level 10 authority.The red light representing the invasion of the Contractors was immediately lit up, reflecting dazzling reflections round after round on the alloy-made wall.

Everyone raised their heads.

The engineers in this laboratory are all elites. During their at least five years of research career, the alarm has been sounded more than ten times, but none of the dangers will spread to this place.

This is one of the core points of the Icarus base, where all contractors will do their best to guard it at all costs.

"What level of alert is this?"

"Superior level! Don't ask, start an emergency plan immediately!"

"Everyone take off their name tags, and follow the plan specified in No. 13 of the manual to escape immediately!"

"Mo Feng is still outside! He is checking the situation of the symbionts in the rest area—"

"Don't ask too much, there will be a dedicated channel for the symbiote!"

"Central computer! Destroy all data archives immediately and open unexpected channels!"

Amidst the chaotic shouts, the mechanically synthesized voice began to report unhurriedly: "Under the order of A+ level authority, the archived data will be destroyed..."

Li Chu picked up his glasses, read the emergency notice calmly, and stood up.

Everyone looked at him, and there was a moment of silence.

Among these white coats, he is the only contractor.

Li Chu said calmly: "Escape as planned, I will go to the rest area to evacuate the symbionts, and find Mo Feng by the way."

Not far from them is the place where the symbiotes live.

Once the vulnerable symbiotes are discovered by the invaders, they can easily kill large numbers of symbiotes with just one gun.Then it doesn't even take a minute for these symbiotic counterparts to "go to death" one after another.

No matter how powerful the contractors are, calling the wind and rain, and omnipotent, once their symbiont dies, they can only die with them.

Contractors have no emotions, no pain, only symbiotes, their only weakness.

The second characteristic of contractual symbiosis: "go to death".

[When the symbiont dies, the contractor will die with him at the same time...] Li Chu's authority level is 9, which is already the most advanced existence among researchers.However, the highest level of alarm completely sealed the door, and only the top management of Icarus could open the door to the rest area.

It would be unthinkable for someone else, but Li Chu is different.

Li Chu put on his glasses and let out a soft breath.

【Start of digitization】

The moment after the ability was activated, he had already seen the looming code string layer upon layer in the alloy door in front of him, disappearing in a flash.

Li Chu stretched out his right hand and gently placed his index finger on the unlocking terminal. The next moment, a torrent of glowing green data rushed towards him, and the wind of electrons brushed his hair slightly.

Li Chu remained motionless, calmly filtering out enough information from the data packets that were constantly being sent back and forth. At the bottom of his neurons, a spiritual core that symbolized the Contractor erupted with Boyd's light in an instant. It was as if the data flowed out from his fingertips, lightly slipping into the door.

"A new instruction has been received, and the authority verification is in progress... The authority verification is successful, close the level 10 security lock, and open the first protective door... After opening, open the second protective door..."

Amidst the mechanical sound, the door slowly rose, and after Li Chu calmly walked through, he locked it again.

This time it was really, "locked up".

【Complete dataization】

"Alarm! Alarm for the whole area! Icarus found the intruder. The intruder has broken into areas a1, a2, g1, and g5, and is entering area x! Alarm for the entire area!"

Now Li Chu stepped into the rest area.

It is ironic that these symbionts who are kept in captivity are more indifferent than the pampered researchers at this moment.

They even lined up in an orderly manner, and escaped one by one through the special passages prepared in advance, without even much expression on their faces.

Because of the particularity of the symbiotes, once they are found by their contractors, they will be immediately protected and isolated; and they will undergo special training to suppress all emotional fluctuations, check their psychological conditions regularly, and accept different degrees of pain tolerance training.

All this is because of the first characteristic of contract symbiosis: "accompanied".

[All damage received by the symbiote will be copied to the contractor.

The pain when the contractor activates the ability will be borne by the symbiote.All the emotions of the contractor will be transferred to the symbiont. 】Contractors will frequently use their abilities when performing tasks, and their own emotions will also be borne by the symbiote—this makes the symbiote not only have external threats, but also often choose self harm.And self-injury will be immediately replicated on the contractor, affecting the execution of tasks and often causing a more serious vicious circle.

Everything makes the position of the symbiote in this world more delicate.

They are weaknesses and victims, bearing the price that the contractor should bear, and at the same time feeling the emotions that the contractor should feel.

And here, at the Icarus base, all the symbiotes were gathered together, and then taught them how to suppress their... oh no, emotions that don't belong to them, and how to... endure the pain when the ability is activated.

Li Chu glanced around beside the long line of symbiotes. These symbiotes looked at him indifferently, chanting words from time to time - reciting something is sometimes a means of ignoring the pain.

In the long queue, Li Chu met his symbiote, Yan Mingyang.

It is always easy for contractors to find their symbionts, which may be a natural induction.

And it was the same as any time before, Yan Mingyang looked at Li Chu with a blank and emotionless expression.

Li Chu knew that he was feeling his own emotions, but Li Chu himself was born as a contractor, never experienced that kind of... emotional feeling.Therefore, when Li Chu sees Yan Mingyang, he is always a little subtle, guessing in his heart: what will my symbiotic feel?That's how I feel when I see him now.

Li Chu came here to check the situation of the symbiotes and to find Mo Feng, one of his researchers.

The rest area is very large. In order to ensure the living environment of the symbionts, the interior was even divided into six levels. When Li Chu searched for each level, he saw the corpse of the symbionts on the fourth floor.

Li Chu glanced at the corpse, and immediately found that he was suddenly attacked from behind, and then strangled to death neatly with his bare hands.

Li Chu moved back as gently as possible, then leaned his back against the wall, put his right hand into his pocket, and held the special electric shock rod.

Strictly speaking, although he is a contractor, his ability is not suitable for combat. Instead, he is better at analyzing and stealing information, as well as disrupting the enemy's decision-making center, so he has been working in the team of researchers... Now he is here, is In order to ensure the safe evacuation of the symbionts—including his symbionts—after all, in this core area and crisis moment, perhaps he is already one of the strongest living forces.

He knew that he couldn't focus on the corpse for a long time, which would make him easy to be attacked, and this enemy was obviously good at lurking and infiltrating... He was even able to enter into This place obviously has a supernatural ability that is hard to guard against.

Leaning his back against the wall, Li Chu activated his ability, and clear and special data information immediately began to float out of everything in front of him.

The humidity of the air, the oxygen content, the thickness of the wall... and even the curve of the breeze can all be converted into numbers and be noticed by him one by one.

On the bloodstain on the ground, a line of distinctive data was displayed.

The enemy's shoes once touched the edge of the leather on the blood stains.According to the curvature, the size of the shoe can be calculated, and then calculated based on the sole of the foot... It is an adult man between 1.75m and 1.78m.

But where the shoe used to be... belonged to one, impossible angle.

In the corner, even a child can't stand still, it's super close.

The next moment, from the wall behind Li Chu, suddenly stretched out a pair of white hands covered with scars!

He was extremely quick, familiarly and quickly found Li Chu's neck, immediately tightened it with the hardest elbow, and then tried fiercely to break Li Chu's spine with the other hand.

Li Chu reacted quickly and elbowed back, and immediately realized that this was a wrong decision-his enemy only stretched out a pair of hands from the inside of the wall!

In the nick of time, Li Chu's throat made a rattling sound, and the scarred devil's hands couldn't wait to strangle him, and the next moment, a gunshot exploded in his ears——

"boom!"

The hands strangling Li Chu's throat got the bullet from nowhere, and while the muscles in the wrist shrugged, the enemy obviously realized that he couldn't continue strangling Li Chu, and immediately retreated into the wall without hesitation.

Li Chu breathed heavily, stood up slowly, and then withdrew his ability.

In front of him was the person he was looking for.

Mo Feng still held the gun in his hand, swallowed nervously, and said, "Bo, doctor...the enemy seems to have the ability to penetrate walls with some of their limbs."

Li Chu pushed his glasses, glanced at him, and then stood up without saying a word.

Mo Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and said casually, "Doctor, what are you doing here?"

Li Chu said: "Let's go, I'll take you—"

"Bang!... Bang!"

Two crisp gunshots sounded.

The blood burst out, splattered and splashed on the silver-white wall, and then slowly trickled down from the wall.Li Chu's headless body fell to the ground.

With the habit of a professional killer, Mo Feng fired two shots in an instant, ensuring his death.

A ghostly face slowly appeared on the wall, and he asked, "Why... stop me from... strangling..."

Mo Feng sneered and said: "You idiot, this is the most terrifying 'brain' of Icarus. We have observed him for so long, and Miranda tried his best to 'assist' me to find a little flaw, but so far even his I haven't figured out the ability... According to my speculation, he can control his body, from blood to breath, from cell nucleus to genes. He is a person who can't be suffocated, how can he be strangled by you? Even if the heart is split, In the second before death, he has a way to kill you - to deal with this kind of person, you can only be surprised, or solve his thinking ability!... If I slow down, you will die!"

At this moment.

In the escape route.

Yan Mingyang followed the team indifferently.He murmured and recited the Bible because he was suffering from pain.

He is familiar with this kind of pain, because it is the pain that his contractor, Li Chu, brought him when he used his ability.

In fact, he didn't care who Li Chu was.

It doesn't matter what you're doing, it doesn't matter what's going on here, it doesn't matter what the world looks like.

He has long been used to this kind of pain, and he has become numb to his emotions.

This is the only knowledge given to him in this world: how to live as an external organ of the contractor.

Yan Mingyang read it.

"...do not seal the prophecy of this book, for the time is near. He who is unrighteous, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be righteous still Still holy..." (Chapter 22 of "New Testament. Revelation")

Until a sharp, frightening, and awesome pain pierced his body from his soul.

Yan Mingyang knelt down slowly on the ground, hugging himself tightly with both hands. This is also one of the ways he learned to protect himself—no, to protect the contractor.

All the symbionts around him bypassed him, as commonplace as domestic animals see their companions killed.

There is nothing to see.

Only Yan Mingyang stayed where he was, raising his head in a daze.

"I... what happened to me?! Who told me... what the hell is this place?"

The second characteristic of contractual symbiosis: "go to death".

[…Conversely, if the contractor dies, the symbiont will clear its memory and transform into a normal human being. 】(tbc)

Three characteristics of contract symbiosis:

1. "Associated" features:

All damage received by the symbiote will be copied to the contractor.

The pain when the contractor activates the ability will be borne by the symbiote.All the emotions of the contractor will be transferred to the symbiont.

2. "Going to die" feature:

When the symbiont dies, the contractor will die with it at the same time.

On the contrary, if the contractor dies, the symbiont will clear its memory and transform into a normal human being.

3. "Cross neck" feature:

The exchange body and liquid will release the "associated" feature in a short period of time, and the duration will vary according to the method.
