The woman lowered her head in panic and tightened her grip on the handle of the cart.
The hands are well maintained and there is no trace of time, which proves the owner's usual delicacy.
But Tang Rou discovered that the gaps between her fingernails were dyed red and looked... like blood.
"Director Qin, you..."
Before she finished speaking, the woman shrank back warily, twisted her neck unnaturally, and hurried away while pushing the trolley.
There's weirdness everywhere.
Tang Rou looked back a few more times and her pace became slower and slower.
The uneasiness in my heart grew. The banging sound coming from the water tank seemed to come after hearing her voice.
As if... reminding her.
Tang Rou paused.
The picture in my mind was fixed on the glimpse of the water tank before it was pushed away. There was an imperceptible light golden color on the edge of the gap in the tank lid where water was gushing out.
My thinking gradually became clearer, the clues connected into a line, and an image jumped in front of my eyes.
Some terrible thoughts gathered in my mind.
Tang Rou turned on her toes and walked towards the direction where Director Qin's figure disappeared.
She didn't know that after she left, the secret door in the corridor was pushed open.
In the dark secret passage, the man pressed the young man's neck semi-forcefully, close to his Qingjun face, his voice was muddy,
"Look, I didn't lie to you, right? Her whole body smells like that octopus experiment."
The young man's clear eyes turned red. He pushed the man away in disgust and walked out foolishly.
"soft……"
But before he could step into the light, he was pulled back into the darkness again.
"Don't go there, she doesn't want to see you."
A man's whisper is like the devil's call.
"You are so useless now, you will only cause her trouble."
The young man's body was tense, as if he had been embedded in an ice cave, and his limbs were filled with pain.
He stared at the end of the corridor, hoping to see if her figure would come back around the corner.
This desire is destined to fail.
After a while, the young man covered his face and let out a sob of grievance and pain.
The emotions were released bit by bit through the tears at the end of the eyes.
A big hand stretched out from behind and slowly stroked his spine, "Okay, let's go back."
The crystal earrings hidden in the hair were shining brightly, and the boy's eyes were scarlet, slowly fading away from the clarity.
He was so useless, so why didn't she look back at him?
Does that mean that when the other experimental subjects are dead, she will look at herself?
…
There was a long line of water stains on the floor along the path, like some kind of distress signal.
Tang Rou followed the water stains and walked forward until she came to a dead end in the corridor and stopped.
The water marks disappeared out of thin air here.
Where did Director Qin go? Where did the water tank go?
Tang Rou observed carefully along the corridor. After searching for a long time, she found a hidden gap in the silver metal wall.
Her heart beat a little faster. She raised her hand and stroked along the gap, finding an indentation that was hard to detect.
Tang Rou pressed it hard.
She only heard a very slight "click" sound, and the lock opened in response. A door appeared out of thin air on the entire smooth metal wall. She raised her hand and pushed it open gently, and saw the dark entrance to the secret passage.
What is this place?
This is the first time Tang Rou has seen these intricate underground passages with her own eyes.
It was very dark inside, with little light and no lighting facilities.
You can vaguely hear some kind of echo coming from the depths.
She held her breath, took off her shoes, and walked quietly along the secret passage without making a sound.
There was a wet feeling under her feet, and she was sure that the cart was pushed here.
Tang Rou turned on her curved phone, dimmed the light to the lowest level, and was ready to make an emergency call at any time.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, a glimmer of light emerged from the darkness.
There was a faint sound of conversation at the end of the tunnel.
"Please, let me see him again!"
"Please! I just want to see him! What do I have to do to make you agree to this?"
It's Qin Li's voice.
Along with the weird conversation, there was a sudden dull sound, like the sound of a heavy object being slapped on the flesh, which was heartbreaking.
Tang Rou heard a very slight groan. The sound made her heart tremble and she felt completely painful.
what's the situation?
Through the narrow crack in the door, she saw a place that was similar to a laboratory, but different.
The metal iron rack is filled with various specimens, contained in glass dishes and soaked in formalin.
Among the samples stood a crazy-looking woman.
Tang Rou covered her mouth.
Director Qin was holding an anti-explosion whip used to punish experimental subjects in his hand, and his face was splattered with blood.
His expression was ferocious, like Shura, completely different from his usual appearance.
"Please, I'll give you whatever you want."
But as the woman said this, she took the cutting knife from the shelf on the side and walked forward.
Tang Rou turned around silently, her eyes following Director Qin's figure.
The room was very dark, with only two emergency lights on.
There was a pool of bright red blood on the edge of the silver booth that resembled an observation platform. Blood beads were falling drop by drop, causing shallow ripples.
Something was shining with phosphorescence in the darkness, and as the gaze moved upward, a gorgeous blue color jumped into the eyes.
Tang Rou was stunned, and her hand that was about to press the dial button froze.
She thought she would see some terrifying creature, but she didn't expect that what was in the darkness was not an ugly alien shape, but the fish-tailed beauty that ran aground in front of her eyes once again.
Tang Rou couldn't tell whether he was still awake, his head was hanging down, and he was hanging on the iron frame.
It looked lifeless, and the long, light-blond hair was spread out like brocade, stained with little bits of blood, sliding down the drooped head.
From the gap between the hair, Tang Rou saw that there was a metal collar around the mermaid's neck, and the other end was connected to a ferocious and rough lock that did not match his slender figure.
The long and narrow chains bound his shoulders, neck, and arms, almost cutting into the pale flesh, grinding it into a bright red color.
Qin Li climbed up to the high platform, like a believer praying to the gods, and clasped her hands in front of the scarred mermaid.
"Please...I want to see him, let me see him once..."
She was pious and trembling, kneeling in front of the scarred fish tail.
"Please, I can do anything you want me to do."
Of course the mermaid wouldn't answer her.
His face was covered with blood-stained blond hair, like a dying swan with a broken neck and torn wings.
The scene is weird and weird, especially Qin Li's expression.
It's like a dream, it's crazy.
As she spoke, she covered her face and murmured in a low voice, "It's not that I don't blame me, I just want to make him better..."
Saying that, Qin Li suddenly raised her head, grabbed the bayonet in her hand and walked towards him.
"Please, give it to me!"
Just when the sharp blade was about to cut into the fish's tail, the woman's expression suddenly changed and she ducked backwards, but was still wrapped around her neck.
Someone took this opportunity to run up behind her and pushed her hard on the back. With a bang, Qin Li fell from the high platform and landed on the back of her head.
Tang Rou grabbed the anti-explosion whip in her hand. Fortunately, the woman had thrown this thing to the ground before.
She hurriedly looked back and found that the mermaid had her eyes open but showed no reaction to her arrival.
