The elevator slowly went up, and everyone in the cabin was wary of the surroundings, especially the patio above.
Soon, the elevator stopped on the fourth floor. After the elevator door opened, Hyde ordered: "Check this floor first."
"Do you want someone to watch the elevator?" Liang asked, "Although the floors are closed, you can still go up and down through the elevator, right?"
"No, we can lock the elevator temporarily." Hyde took out the key, "There is a key to the elevator lock in the security room."
Insert the key into the key hole under the button plate, turn it once, and the button on the button plate will make a "click" sound.
"Okay, unless the lock is opened, this elevator cannot be operated from the inside, and pressing the button from other floors cannot call it away. It will stay on the fourth floor."
The elevator has a skylight, but there is no opening in the floor. It stops on the fourth floor, which in disguise adds an obstacle to the elevator patio. Even if the monster takes the patio, it cannot escape from the fourth or fifth floor to the floor below.
Everyone walked out of the elevator and within a few steps, Leon felt he stepped on something soft under his feet.
He looked down and saw that it was a dead rat, which had become a bloody mess after he kicked it down.
"Alas……"
Leon moved his feet in disgust, and Fiona knelt down and took a look: "Judging from the corpse, this mouse has been drained of blood."
"Vampire?" Liang nodded, this is more in line with the characteristics of a vampire or vampire.
"Be vigilant. There is a laboratory on this floor, and the monster first appeared on this floor." Hyde reminded.
They opened the door of the first room in the corridor, and Jill stayed outside to guard the door while the other three entered the room to search.
After confirming that there were no traces of monsters in the room, Leon's eyes moved to the table. There were several empty glass tubes on the table, and there were suspicious traces of dried dark red liquid on the inner tube walls.
"What is this?" Leon pointed at the glass tube.
Fiona picked up one of the glass tubes with her gloved hands and looked at the paper label on it: "The company's unified medicine bottle, number...well, no problem. As for the liquid inside...it seems
It's blood."
"Blood?" Liang was stunned. This seemed to be related to the monster. "Is it possible that the monster is also very elegant and likes to pour blood into glass tubes and taste it slowly?"
After walking to the table and picking up the glass tube for observation, Liang frowned: "No, this blood... was originally in the glass tube."
The opening of this glass tube is extremely narrow. If the liquid is poured in forcefully, the outer wall will be easily stained, and the blood stains on the glass tube only exist on the inner wall.
"The type of this number, I remember, comes from the company's blood bank." Fiona said, "Look, these two letters represent the company's Caspas branch. These two letters are the name of the local warehouse. These two letters
Refers to the blood bank in the warehouse, and the last string of numbers represents the date of shipment and the serial number."
"In other words, these glass tubes may contain blood themselves and come from the 'Life of Theseus'?"
"Yes." Fiona's expression was not very good, "I don't know what the purpose of this blood is and what experiments it needs to be used in, but there is no doubt that it has become the food of the monster."
Leon put down the glass tube: "Do you think there is a possibility that this blood... was originally provided to the monster?"
"What did you say?" Fiona was stunned, "No, no, do you think that the company is not unaware of the monster's appearance? It may even have been secretly raising the monster before?"
"Did the company tell you how this monster appeared?"
"No, they just informed us to deal with the monsters..."
"Monsters don't appear in the factory for no reason, and the initial targets of the attack were the researchers at the upper levels of the factory, rather than the ordinary workers who interacted most frequently with the outside world. From this point of view, it is very likely that the monster came from inside the factory."
Leon touched his chin, "I think this monster may have been raised by the 'Theseus Life' itself, but with the arrival of the Storm Moon, the research team needed to evacuate the factory, something went wrong on the way, and the monster was freed, causing the monster to
He attacked a researcher and tried to escape, so the company sent you security team to deal with it, and also contacted private detectives like me to come and help, instead of handing the matter over to the Security Bureau."
Leon's guess made Fiona fall into silence. Hyde said at the side: "Counsellor Li, I think this is not something we should be concerned about. The top priority is to deal with the monster as soon as possible."
"Of course." Liang nodded. He was not a messenger of justice. He had neither the ability nor the interest to dig into the mysterious experiments behind the company.
"Everyone." Gil, the gatekeeper, suddenly leaned in and said, "We have a small situation."
"What's wrong?" Hyde became alert.
"You are all busy in the room. The corridor is quiet, with only the sound of rain, but it shouldn't be my auditory hallucination." Jill pointed to another room not far away, "I seemed to hear some noise there."
Liang thought, at this time, the wind or the mouse would not usually be the cause of the noise - although in many games, no matter what noise the enemy NPC hears, as long as the real owner is not found, the wind and the mouse will be blamed in the end.
"Let's go take a look."
Hyde gave an order, and everyone exited the current room and slowly moved towards the laboratory instructed by Jill. Hyde stood by the door and glanced at Jill. Jill understood, held the door handle, and slowly pushed the door open...
…
Sure enough, there was a living creature in the room, but what caught Leon's sight was not a bloody and terrifying monster, but——
