soul noise

Chapter 6 Right in the Heart

As Lin Na expected, the dementia of the experimental subject M001 was only temporary.The results of the brain examination showed that although his prefrontal cortex was damaged by the gamma virus, it also strengthened its ability to repair and regenerate, and it was only a matter of time before he returned to normal IQ.

This can be regarded as a major breakthrough in EVO medicine. Professor Dona raised his beard in excitement, and non-stop extracted the successfully fused genotypes from the tube of blood drawn by Xie Hengkong for follow-up research and development. Batches of selected human preparations When the body is straight, it will be killed.

M001's closeness to Xie Hengkong also gave him an important task. Not only can he freely enter and leave the observation room, but he also has the authority to retrieve higher-level information about M001, including experimental recording videos over the years.

In fact, without looking at these materials, he has already determined the identity of M001 through the familiar pheromone smell, which is the A-level killer Z who has been missing for five years.

Now he is a pale and thin sick man, sitting in front of Xie Hengkong, eating the cake bit by bit.

His movements were very slow, unhurried and even revealing a trace of self-satisfied elegance.As long as he doesn't speak, people can completely ignore that he is only eight years old with an IQ.

This was a side that Xie Hengkong had never seen before, so he watched it with great interest until Song Zhaoyin raised his eyes and asked him if he wanted to eat.

Xie Hengkong didn't intend to pay attention to him at first, he just wanted to enjoy the mime and didn't want to listen to him, but when he saw those clean gray-blue eyes, he suddenly nodded and asked with a smile: "Are you feeding me?"

Song Zhaoyin glanced at the spoon that was still sticky to cream in his hand, then put it down, and took a clean spoon again.Just when Xie Hengkong thought he would really be obedient, he took a clean spoon and divided the cake into two, then put the spoon on the cake plate, and at the same time turned his uneaten half to Xie Heng null.

Xie Hengkong twitched his eyebrows: "..."

Pretty polite.

After finishing all this, Song Zhaoyin returned to his spoon and glanced at Jie Hengkong with the end of his eyes while eating. Seeing that he didn't move, he suddenly pushed the cake plate towards him, "You can eat it by yourself."

Xie Hengkong: "..."

He wasn't interested in fools, but at this moment he felt that Song Zhaoyin like this was a little cute, and even began to think, did Song Zhaoyin trust others so easily and show dependence on others when he was eight years old?

probably not.

After all, Song Zhaoyin is a killer who was raised by Caesar, the leader of the white pigeons. No matter how old he is, it is impossible for him to live like a real child.

In Baige, there is no childhood, no trust and no dependence, only daily training, confrontation, and death.

"Aren't you going to eat?"

Song Zhaoyin's voice had returned to its former clarity, but his IQ was limited, and he spoke with a hint of innocence, which washed away the blood in Xie Hengkong's memory.

"I won't fight with you." He said, with a very generous tone, "Eat by yourself."

After these two days of observation, Xie Hengkong has discovered that the eight-year-old Song Zhaoyin has a preference for sweets and likes to listen to piano music. No wonder Lin Na will give him an electronic piano.But the eight-year-old Song Zhaoyin didn't need him to coax him. From the day he told him that he was the one to take him out, he showed trust in Xie Hengkong that was different from others, and even the overflowing pheromone became gentle.

But it was limited to Xie Hengkong. After all, in his memory, except for Xie Hengkong's face, everyone else was still unfamiliar.

And his "growth" was much faster than Xie Hengkong thought.

The day before, I could only make disorganized staccato sounds on the keyboard, but the next day, I could play continuous movements for a few seconds, and it was even a little pleasing to the ear.

During the past few days together, he also showed a little imperceptible dependence on Xie Hengkong, which was specifically manifested when Song Zhaoyin suddenly reached out and grabbed his sleeve when Xie Hengkong left.

"Are you leaving?" His eyes were calm and his expression was cold, but Xie Hengkong was still slightly taken aback.

Xie Hengkong's eyes fell on his bony fingers, Song Zhaoyin let go of his hand, and calmly reminded him, "You said you would take me out."

"Take you out," Xie Hengkong said with a playful smile in his eyes, "I lied to you."

Song Zhaoyin froze for a moment, then frowned and looked at Xie Hengkong with dissatisfaction. The scent of pine gradually permeated the glass room. Xie Hengkong leaned against the glass and watched his gray-blue eyes gradually dim and recover. The initial chill.

That's right.

Xie Hengkong laughed lightly, raised his eyebrows at him, and walked away like a villain who had succeeded in a prank.

Taking Song Zhaoyin away is a hundred times more difficult than Xie Hengkong leaving alone.However, Xie Hengkong was not in a hurry, he had enough time to wait for the opportunity, but Doug, who was far away in Wencheng, began to fidget.

After K agreed to accept the task, he left Wencheng. Two days later, he suddenly sent a half-grown child who had not yet differentiated and a gentle and clean beta youth.Apart from leaving a sentence telling them to be optimistic about the two hostages, no news came after that.

At first, the special locator that Doug handed over to K could determine his approximate location, but seven days ago, this signal point had completely disappeared and could not be tracked, and K completely lost contact.

With the mystery and caution of the Mander Institute, it is not surprising to have a shielding device, so they didn't take it seriously.

But now, fourteen days have passed since Elise secretly hid the reward order.That is to say, after midnight today, the reward order will appear on Baige intranet again. If Doug operates it again, the core intelligence system will definitely detect the abnormality.

By then, Elise may not be able to hide the fact that she secretly took on private jobs.

When Elise pushed open the casino door, she saw Doug sitting in front of the computer sharpening his knife and typing on the keyboard, still muttering, "I don't believe it anymore, I can't beat you as an artificial intelligence."

"What are you up to?" Ellis shook off the broken snow from his coat, "Where's the kid? Still alive?"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a rapid knock on the door from the inner room, accompanied by a child's voice, "Let me out! I'm going to find my mother!!!"

Doug has gotten used to it, and stretched out his little finger to pick out his ears, "It's a very good life."

Elise went to the wine cabinet and poured herself a glass of wine, and glanced at the furry head protruding from the window, "It seems that I haven't eaten less, I'm full of energy, don't eat tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, the voices in the room suddenly stopped.

"Any news from K?" Elise asked.

Doug was discouraged, "No, ten days have passed, K will not have failed to deal with that experimental subject, it doesn't mean that the experimental subject is super destructive, isn't K..."

Elise suddenly sneered, Doug thought she would ridicule him for thinking too much, it was K after all, Wei Chengxiang said to her, "Maybe it is true."

Doug's heart sank suddenly, "No way, K is an A-level killer, if he fails, then we..."

Elise shook the wine glass in her hand, her eyes fell on a model airplane on the table, her long and narrow eyes suddenly became cold and deep, "Don't worry, Miles can't take care of himself right now."

I don't know what kind of madness Miles has gone, which has caused the military in the first district to pay more attention to him. Naturally, he has no time to offer such a reward.

Doug didn't relax when he heard this. He wasn't worried about Miles at all, he just didn't believe that his idol would really fail the mission.

When the glass of sake was bottomed out, the smile on Elise's face disappeared completely. She stroked the model plane and caught a glimpse of Doug's serious expression staring at the screen. A boy with a face somewhat similar to his appeared in her mind. The teenager looked as serious as he was when he studied his beloved model airplane.

"Don't waste your energy, let's just treat this task as a failure." Elise put down her wine glass, and said suddenly when she walked away: "By the way, when the reward order is made public, find a channel to send out the news of Mande. "

Doug looked surprised, and before he asked why, he heard Elise's leisurely voice drifting over again.

"There will always be someone who 'sees the money' and goes in to confirm the situation for us."

Doug stared at Elise's back in a daze for a long time, why did he feel that Elise didn't seem to care about the 4000 million at all, let alone K's life safety.

Sure enough, killers are capricious and ungrateful.

Xie Hengkong thought so too, otherwise, why would Song Zhaoyin, who shared the cake with him yesterday, completely treat him as if he didn't exist at this moment.Xie Hengkong sat here for almost an hour, Song Zhaoyin's gaze was always focused on the Sudoku in front of him, and he never gave him a look, let alone talked to him.

Xie Hengkong, who was being treated as air for the first time, felt a little strange. This person ignored him, but he just got excited and insisted on making some noise. He picked up the electronic organ on the side and crackled it.An out-of-key staccato echoed intermittently in the observation room.

At this time, Song Zhaoyin obviously "grew up" a lot compared to when he just woke up. Not only was he unmoved, but he was also able to solve quite difficult Sudoku under the interference of noise.

The two people were still and moved, and there was a strange harmony in the chaotic piano sound, which made Lin Na couldn't help laughing.

This dementia seems to be contagious.

When she came in with lunch, Xie Hengkong finally stopped making noise, but what he didn't expect was that Song Zhaoyin showed no resistance to Lin Na's approach, and even said "thank you" to her.

Xie Hengkong narrowed his eyes, suddenly feeling a little uncomfortable.It was as if something that was originally given to him was suddenly taken away and given to someone else.

Soon he realized that Song Zhaoyin was not happy, and his good look towards Lin Na was because Lin Na promised to take him out of the observation room.

Because of the important breakthrough of the EVO reagent, Professor Dorner added a batch of live human preparations to test the universality of the drug.This batch of experimental subjects that had just been injected with the EVO reagent was temporarily stored in the No. 1 observation area outside the restricted area. After three days of stable survival, they would be moved to the observation area of ​​the laboratory for all-round monitoring.

So Song Zhaoyin, who is in a quiet period, will return to live in the small building with the lawn.

Before that, he was given a more detailed comprehensive inspection, and Song Zhaoyin was very cooperative.

"At present, his intelligence level has reached the middle school age, and he can stably control his emotions." Lin Na stood beside Professor Dona, looking at the brain display on the screen of the testing instrument, with a happy smile in his eyes. According to this recovery speed, It should take no more than three days to enter adulthood.

"The repair speed of the frontal lobe of his brain is faster than before, and the original cells are also mutated and strengthened under the stimulation of the gamma virus. Both the control and the response will be strengthened. The specific step has to be carried out again. Attack test."

Professor Dona's eyes were also full of joy, and he nodded again and again, "There is no rush, the update of the scenario simulation system in the test area has not been completed, and there is currently no controllable experimental subject to test his ability."

Speaking of this, Professor Dona's eyebrows became cautious, and he pondered: "Let Ah Chun strengthen Sunshine Xiaozhu's defense system, what will happen during the susceptible period is unpredictable."

The susceptibility period is not a constitutional trait like the Omega's estrous period.It's more like a rare, innocuous little ailment.Only when Alpha falls into the susceptible period will it become sensitive, vulnerable, have big emotional ups and downs, and weaken its attack power.It can be regarded as one of the alpha weaknesses of a strong physique, which is not common and does not occur frequently.

Song Zhaoyin did not have symptoms of susceptibility period before injecting EVO medicine, which is also one of the side effects of the gamma virus - he has a physical fitness beyond the average alpha, and also has such a painful weakness.

However, his susceptibility period is not about becoming sensitive and weak, but painful and violent.Whether it is torture for him or others, fortunately, it usually only lasts for one day.

Song Zhaoyin was transferred to Sunshine Xiaozhu, which is more heavily defended, because of his upcoming susceptibility period.After all, he had lived there for several years, and the familiar environment would allow him to pass this painful period more peacefully.

"When implanting the chip, be careful not to stimulate his glands. Be sure to collect the fluctuation data of his glands during the susceptible period." Professor Dorner urged again.

Xie Hengkong was officially transferred to Group A and became Lin Na's assistant, so apart from some confidential data, they would not be too defensive against him. After listening to a few more words, Xie Hengkong could understand the cause and effect.

When he heard the sentence that he would return to normal in three days, his emotions suddenly became a little complicated, with expectations and some regrets, but he was soon attracted by the situation in the examination room.

After the basic examination, Song Zhaoyin was injected with a sufficient amount of sedative, so when the instrument was implanted to pierce the silver needle into the gland, he only frowned slightly, and soon regained his composure.

After the chip was successfully implanted, Dona went to check on other experimental subjects, while Lin Na went to see Ah Chun and arranged for the security of Sunshine Xiaozhu.

Xie Hengkong looked at him through the glass for a while, then walked in.

Because of the inspection, Song Zhaoyin didn't wear a shirt, and there were still a few metal pieces attached to his chest.

During this period of time, Song Zhaoyin resumed eating normally, coupled with his powerful self-repair ability, his cheeks grew some flesh, not as skinny as when we first met, but his skin was still pale, with a bit of sickness remaining.

There is a thin layer of muscle attached to the chest, and as the breathing rises and falls, the ribs under the flesh can be vaguely seen. In short, it still looks like a weak and sick child.

Xie Hengkong didn't know what was so good about such a thin body, but he just couldn't take his eyes off, and even stepped forward to peel off the metal pieces one by one, as if he thought they were in the way.

The last piece of metal was on the left chest. When Xie Hengkong took it off, his thumb just grazed his skin.The rough texture of his fingertips made him pause, and his eyes narrowed slightly, staring at a scar the size of a fingernail, which was a gunshot wound.

Xie Hengkong watched, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, this is his masterpiece.

Six years ago, in Baige's final assessment, he shot Song Zhaoyin, who was defenseless, and hit the heart with one blow.

To this day, he has not forgotten Song Zhaoyin's expression of surprise and admiration at that time. For many years to come, he will never forget, and occasionally he will think of his surprise and joy when he knew that Z's heart grew on the right side.

People are really strange, the one who shot him was himself, and the one who was afraid that he would really die was also himself.To this day, Xie Hengkong has not figured out why.

The sudden pain in his wrist pulled back his thoughts of understanding Hengkong. When he tilted his head, he felt a gust of wind. After waking up, Song Zhaoyin suddenly turned over and kicked him three meters away.

Yaoshou!

………………

Xie Hengkong: It was very sudden.
