Chapter 380
It was in a simple underground laboratory, people in researchers' uniforms were doing various tests and discussing the next arrangements. It seemed that everything was fine and there was no problem worth worrying about.
Then, the blood-red light suddenly surged, and in an instant it crossed the safety boundary of the laboratory, engulfing the researchers who were still confused about the situation.
The alarm sounded quickly. There were already many soldiers in this strictly guarded base. When an unexpected situation occurred at this time, they naturally rushed forward one by one, and soon forced open the door of the laboratory that was sealed from the inside when the alarm sounded and broke in.
But the soldiers at that time did not see anything weird.
After the first batch of soldiers came in, they saw a laboratory where everything was the same as usual. The researchers were doing various tests or discussing the next experimental arrangements. Everyone looked very peaceful, and there was no one who looked wrong.
Maybe it was just a false alarm?
The soldiers couldn't help but have such thoughts.
[Sir, we heard the alarm, is there something wrong here? ]
A soldier approached a researcher and asked him. He didn't point the gun at the researcher, which was obviously his biggest mistake.
[Of course there's nothing wrong...]
The researcher replied with a smile, opened his mouth and swallowed the soldier's head.
The scene at that moment reminded Gao Hai of a fairly famous comic "Parasyte", which was like a reappearance of the scene at the beginning of the comic, where the man whose head was replaced by a parasitic beast had his entire head completely cracked open, and he pulled off the head of the woman next to him.
Blood gushed out the next moment.
Then there were exclamations, the roar of guns, screams and laughter.
The glaring red gradually spread.
Those researchers, those things that were no longer researchers, they did fall under the muzzle of the gun.
But those things are still in this place.
With every breath, with every step, there are densely packed things that cannot be eliminated.
"Huh..."
Gao Hai's footsteps fell to the ground.
Lost in the crowded corridor, one after another, among the blood-red figures.
"Huh..."
There is no way to really arrive yet.
There is still a long way to go there.
Even though I can feel it, I still can't take a step forward.
I have to open it.
I have to open it.
Open the way to Bythos.
Open the way to the abyss (Bythos).
This is not the deepest part...
That's right, this is not the deepest part...
To go to that place, I have to go deeper... deeper...
The rescue team badge emerged from the black watch, was grabbed by trembling fingers, and then fell on Gao Hai's chest.
A strong sense of coldness swept Gao Hai's consciousness in an instant, and it felt as refreshing as the ears blocked by water were unblocked again.
"Ha... uh..."
The feeling of being controlled by the body quickly disappeared, and intense fatigue and pain followed.
Gao Hai gasped for breath, staggered and fell, and supported himself with his hands to prevent himself from falling completely.
The dense blood-red figures around him gradually became blurred, no longer as clear as before, as if they were within reach.
"The originally scarce divine blood keeps multiplying... Did I establish a connection with God?"
Mumbling to himself, Gao Hai summoned a police officer to help him stand up slowly.
At that moment, at least two-thirds of his blood had been completely drained. If it weren't for his physical fitness surpassing that of humans, plus the protection of the badge, Gao Hai estimated that he would have died on the spot and transformed into something else.
No, even now, that thing should not have left.
Although I used the possession of the rescue team badge to temporarily drive away that thing, after it parasitized on me and briefly controlled my body for a while, I had already established a connection with that thing, and I couldn't cut it off easily.
"Hu...Hu..."
In a strong sense of dizziness, Gao Hai turned around with the help of the wall and looked behind him, but he didn't see the figure of Fujiwara Chika. The other iron bed that should have been behind him had mysteriously disappeared at this time and disappeared.
Is there a disorder in the space, or something else?
Gao Hai cautiously called up the spiritual link, but found that Fujiwara Chika's spiritual link had been offline. The other party temporarily lost consciousness, and it was unknown whether she was in a coma or met with an accident.
Buzz-buzz-
The alarm was still ringing, but it sounded a little out of tune.
There was no living creature except Gao Hai in the empty corridor.
But he knew that there were actually those things everywhere, those things that grew from the [God's Blood].
They were definitely not human beings. Their way of existence was completely different from any life in human cognition. These illusory things seemed to have no entity. Only those who were eroded and polluted by them could see them and become their carriers.
They... seemed to be able to be shaped, and could change with those who saw them, and could change with those who were parasitized by them and became their carriers. They were adapting, and their forms were changing.
Their nature cannot be changed, they will destroy, they will destroy, they will construct rules in unreasonable ways and create disasters. Together with their carriers, they will turn into crazy existences, into terrifying and weird things that have no humanity or emotion at all.
"prototype……"
Gao Hai knew what those things were.
They are invisible blood.
They are the prototypes of ghost stories.
After humans merge with them, and then distort and go crazy, the products are strange stories and weirdness.
The strange things in the copies that I have experienced so far, if I cut them, if I want to divide the existence that was born in them. If you think of half of the source as human, then these things are the other half. With their existence, humans can become monsters, and weird things can be born.
They are derived from blood.
In the Bydos Research Institute, a place where inhuman things are studied in depth, these things, combined with the researchers' obsessions, point to [truth].
Bydos…
Bythos…
It turns out to be like this, it turns out to be like this, no wonder you don’t dare to make this place public, no wonder you don’t want to let this scene be shown in front of the players. This is no longer just something like a stage scene that can be described. The significance of this place, what this place means, even for a being like you, can already be called [horror], it has arrived. Is it completely out of control?
So, do they point to the real passage to God, or are they self-righteous, false gods created by themselves?
No, maybe we have not reached the position of God at all, but are just an unconnected and failed path.
But even if it is a path of failure, the things that exist within it are still extraordinary.
While thinking, Gao Hai had already reached the end of the corridor, and his originally weak body also regained its ability to move.
He raised his head and saw a rule sheet hanging on the wall, a rule sheet that was stained with blood, and the writing in it was obviously tampered with and distorted.
[Baidos I saw the rules of the institute·Category 1, keep your rules]
[District 3 is not enough, let’s move closer to some areas]
[1. All test area activity personnel are required to hold the corresponding identity card, and place the magnetic card in a position where they can be directly and visually inspected to ensure that each other can confirm their identity at any time. Anyone whose identity is suspicious should be opened immediately to control the door. In an emergency, they can be executed directly in the abyss]
[2. All active personnel must carry concealed standard weapons with them, and be prepared to participate in combat evasion at any time. When the second-level alarm sounds, they can open the front armory and activate any weapon in it. Any weapon at the gate of the abyss with a suspicious identity can be killed immediately. We must protect them and open the laboratory as the highest sublimation principle]
[3. All Red Moon event personnel’s protective suits are equipped with built-in geo-communications equipment, and all personnel exchanges are conducted through this equipment]
[This communication equipment has a total of 4 frequency bands. Among them, frequency band 1 is for use in area 1, frequency band 2 is for area 2, frequency 3 is for area 3, and frequency band 4 is for area 3. The joyful central district line is only used by core personnel. Non-core personnel are not allowed to speak in the 4 frequency band]
[4. On the day of the test, the transportation, cleaning, and harmless treatment of the final goods in the storage area must be carried out once a day to ensure that the environment inside the test area is clean and hygienic. He does not want to have more contact with the experimental subjects than we do. Any sublimation of our sympathy for the experimental subjects or our dissatisfaction with the experimental shackles itself represents the unfettered loyalty of the flesh. Please keep this in mind. Your sublimated identity]
[5. Please take as much care as possible for the facilities in the Rest Room. The maintenance of the facilities here and the replacement of consumables are very troublesome. When you use the existing facilities here, please show consideration. If there are others in the world after you, don’t use the facilities in this fear and refuse them]
[6. The Red Moon in the core area is a top secret area. Regular descending missions will not involve this area. If he encounters a mission directed to this area, it may be that the communication frequency band is wrong. If you cannot escape and the situation cannot be refused, please Report it to your superiors immediately. You are not allowed to perform such dirty tasks, and you are not allowed to delay leaking the contents of the tasks they heard to anyone other than your superior.]
[Become one of us Become one of us Become one of us Become us Become us Become us We us us us us us us us]
[Don’t refuse, don’t refuse, refuse, refuse, refuse, refuse]

Chapter 85: Interpreted information and roaring bullets
To be honest, this is the most difficult to read and incomprehensible rule sheet Gao Hai has ever seen.
The original rules and the tampered contents were mixed and intertwined, causing the text of the rules table itself to become extremely confusing. Especially since this thing was in German and Italian, which was composed of letters instead of Chinese, which was written one word at a time. In order to figure out what was written on this rules table, Gao Hai felt dizzy after reading it, and only then did he rely on the mysterious plug-in that recognized the language to read it smoothly and understand its meaning.
This rules table... should be the earliest rules table in the entire research institute.
Gao Hai, thinking like this, swept his eyes over the lines of distorted text, identifying the crazy and distorted words hidden in them.
[We heard the voice of the abyss... open the door and go to the abyss...]
[The red moon will eventually descend on the earth, He will come... His blessings have already appeared in the world...]
[Don't resist, be ecstatic, welcome His arrival... Those dirty... can't be delayed for long...]
As the hidden contents were interpreted, the expression on Gao Hai's face gradually became solemn.
Although he had realized that the researchers of Bydos might be the real kings of the whole talk after learning the information of [The Prototype of Strange Stories], but now that he has truly experienced what they have done, he has to admit that these shits are really good at it.
In short, the first thing that can be confirmed now is that the so-called [Strange Stories] and [Weird Things] are essentially things that are born from humans as raw materials and mixed with some products of [God].
If only humans were killed cruelly, no matter whether it was a family massacre or a military massacre, no strange stories could be born. Strange stories can only be truly born after humans who have merged with something in [God's Blood] suffer great torture and die.
Only when this person who possesses something in [God's Blood] dies can the soil for rule-based strange stories be constructed and become the basis for the copy of the sacrifice game. Only after the death of the person who holds the [God's Blood], the deaths of other people who do not have the [God's Blood] will be affected by some kind of radiation, some kind of [infection] effect, and will show abnormalities. Then, the core obsession will be born among these people, and then the copy will be formally formed.
This is the same whether it is the Shirakawa Apartment or the Red Nut Gray Cave. The Red Nut Gray Cave has [traces of God], so there may be invisible [prototypes of strange stories] that have not dissipated. However, there are too few traces in the Red Nut Gray Cave, and even the [blood] visible to the naked eye does not exist. Therefore, the researchers of Fornen can't figure out the real source of strange stories and weird things, and they also want to send spies to sneak into the enemy country to create a massacre to create strange stories.
Now, in the Baidos Research Institute, Urian and his men cultivated the originally rare [God's Blood] he obtained in some unknown way, making it gradually have the characteristics of proliferation, and also making... this place full of [Strange Stories Prototypes], full of basic raw materials that can be integrated with humans to build [Strange Stories]. At this moment, Gao Hai was immersed in such raw materials, and he was inevitably eroded by those things.
"Huh..."
Even with Gao Hai's calm mind, he couldn't help but hide his emotional fluctuations at this time.
He didn't expect that he could find the true [Origin of Strange Stories] in the copy of [Campus Strange Stories] and find the answer to the mystery of the birth of such a twisted existence as strange things.
Even at this time, there are still many questions that have not been answered, such as where the [God's Blood] comes from, what exactly is the so-called [God], etc. But Gao Hai feels that such questions are not what he needs to pay attention to now. Compared with such things that are too far away, how to solve the current problems is the key.
When people are still alive, those [Strange Stories Prototypes] don't seem to cause any harm. I was contaminated and attacked before, mainly because the researcher was actually dead, so he had merged with the [Prototype] parasitic on him and turned into a weird thing, with dangerous killing rules. And this thing parasitic on me, well... as long as I am not dead, this thing should not have any problems, and if I die, I will directly rewind, so there is no need to worry about the problems later.
However, it is really hard for people not to associate with the name [Abyss]. Especially the Bythos in the name of Bythos Academy originally has the meaning of [Abyss], which makes people think about how far these Bythos researchers have gone.
Speaking of which, will the clearance conditions of [Bythos] also be a hint in some sense?
Gao Hai has not forgotten that when he first entered [Bythos] in his dream in the first round, he received a new game prompt and clearance requirements.
Among them, the normal task requirement for clearing [Bydos] is [Return the lost things in the abyss], and the four tips on this side are [The boundary between reality and imagination is not inseparable], [You have reached the true origin of everything], [Those who explore the gods will bring doom], and [Those who are devoured by desire will eventually return to the abyss]. Among the four tips, the first rule is obviously a hint of [The prototype of the strange story], and also hints at the experiments conducted in Bydos. Gao Hai believes that the second one is probably the "false hint" in the dark night level hint. After all, from the current information, there should be a deeper and earlier origin under Bydos, and that so-called origin may not even be in the [School Tales] dungeon.
As for the third hint, it is nonsense. After all, the existence of the [School Tales] dungeon has already shown how badly those crazy people turned over. But... well, think about it carefully, does this rule mean that [God] itself will impose some kind of doom on those who explore and study Him? After all, if the hint is too simple, it doesn't feel right. And, will the fourth item also hint at something?
And the one about returning the lost things in the abyss, is it to return these [divine blood] to the gods? No, the research of Yeluoshan Middle School should also include [divine blood], but the clearance conditions there have nothing to do with this thing. In other words, there is something else in the Baidos Institute. Perhaps it is with this thing that the stupid old man named Urian can make [divine blood] continue to proliferate and regenerate, so that this institute has become what it is now.
While thinking, Gao Hai has walked to a fork in the corridor and saw a map hanging on the wall here.
This place, I see, is it Zone 3? Then this is the 3rd floor underground, and Jianzi and Xiaoai are on the 1st floor underground. It seems that the distance should not be too far. However, the isolation here should be pretty good, otherwise with Jianzi's perception, she can't fail to notice that there is something underneath.
Unlike the rule sheet that was tampered with and extremely difficult to read, there was basically no sign of tampering on this map, except that the [Central Blood Pool Area] in the middle was smeared with a lot of blood and things like excrement, so that Gao Hai could clearly smell a foul odor when he looked at the map closer.
Hmm... my current location is the special power room... pipeline room... waste treatment room... water body conversion room... I see, in this case, can I go down to the North District Corridor?
Gao Hai looked at the [Central Blood Pool Area] in the middle of the map for several times. He was very curious about what was in this blood pool area, but his intuition told him that if he really broke into that place without any protection, he might die in a very exciting way. Therefore, Gao Hai decided not to worry about the [Maintenance Port] for the time being, and focused on the two [Protective Clothing Storage Areas] on this floor, and got himself some clothes to protect himself.
Although he was now in a [contaminated] state, it would be useless even if he put on a protective suit...
Thinking this way, Gao Hai walked out carefully from the corner of the fork in the road. He was just thinking about confirming what was going on outside when he heard a noise behind him. He turned around and saw three or four soldiers in full protective suits rushing out from the other end of the corridor. The next moment, before Gao Hai could react, the soldiers raised their guns.
"Fuck--"
