Symbiote Ninth

"Understood." Caesar picked up the gun and put it on his shoulder, reluctantly said: "What about my rabbit? That's all?"

"I didn't catch it, I'll catch it tomorrow." Link suddenly felt a little uneasy, he tried his best to ignore the uneasiness, and chatted with Caesar, "You like eating rabbits so much?"

"Yeah." Caesar nodded, "I didn't expect the rabbit to be so cute and delicious."

Link: "..."

The two of them pulled the door open together, and the moonlight fell dimly, which could only illuminate a little of the things below. This is a quite wide passage, perfectly circular, with railings for people to climb down.

The two looked at each other, and Caesar said, "Go down?"

"Is your arm handy?"

"It doesn't matter, you can do it with one hand."

Link turned on the lighting equipment on the communicator, and the dazzling light went straight down. He could see clearly that the digging inside was not deep, and he had to go inside after going down.

"I'll go first, you wait up there, I'll call you down when there's no danger."

"Why didn't I go first?" Caesar also looked down, "I'm better than you."

"Because I'm a man, you're not." Link stepped on the top railing without any hesitation.

He climbed down neatly with his hands and feet, and he came down in less than 2 minutes. There was a hole in front of him, and there was an iron gate at the end of a long corridor. He stood at the entrance and whistled, and Caesar jumped neatly. He came down, grabbed the railing with one hand, and jumped down very nimbly.

"Go forward?" Link said, "Do you know that there is a saying that curiosity killed the cat."

"I don't know." Caesar raised his gun without hesitation, and pulled the trigger towards the door lock.

There was a bang, the door opened, and Caesar walked forward carelessly, Link grabbed him.

"Follow me, don't walk around."

Caesar was a little unconvinced, but he still listened to what he said. Link grabbed Caesar's immobile right hand and said, "We are like an expedition team. Come and name us."

"The Liar and the Braveheart Expedition." Caesar said without thinking, "You are a liar, and I am the Braveheart."

He was rude, but Link felt a little funny, and said as he walked, "Do you really think I'm a liar? What did I lie to you?"

"You know it in your heart." Caesar was a little unreasonable, muttering, "It's too much."

Link looked back at him, as if he was looking at a teenager who was having a temper tantrum with his parents in adolescence—he wasn't that old, Link thought, maybe the symbiote also has puberty?

Thinking of this, Link himself found out that he really takes the soft but not the strong, the more Caesar resists in a serious manner, the more he wants to restrain Caesar, but whenever Caesar shows weakness to him, or shows a little When he is childish, he can't wait to follow the other party in everything and make him happy.

"We are in the first team now, you can't always be awkward with me, how about this, you will be the captain from now on, how about it? Give me an order to open the door, Captain Caesar."

Caesar narrowed his eyes and looked at him, as if he felt that he was cheating, but his attitude was very sincere, Caesar reluctantly believed it, and cut a voice: "Then you come and open the door."

The door is pushed open, Link holds up the lighting, and they see what's in front of them.

A tall sculpture, the angel stood at random, his body leaned back slightly, as if he had just landed on the ground, holding a sword in his hand, but a rose sprouted from the tip of the sword, his wings were stretched out, and the feathers were fully exposed, covering half of the tip The pointed chin, the slightly lifted face is bright and holy, and there seems to be light flowing in the eyes, which makes people want to chase after him.

That was Caesar's face.

"...Is this me?" Caesar looked up, confused, "Why do you look so similar to me?"

"It's not like, it's you."

Link squeezed his chin to make him raise his head slightly, and put it at the same angle as the angel statue, with the same facial features and the same demeanor, completely carved out of the same mold.

Caesar was stunned, reaching out to touch the angel's wings, a layer of dust accumulated on the cold plaster, he stared at the face, his eyes changed from confusion to joy, and asked Link: "Do you think I will have a prototype?" ? Is my prototype this angel?"

He always felt that his existence was very embarrassing, he seemed to have no origin, no way back, and had nothing to do with this grotesque world, and now he suddenly saw this statue that looked exactly like himself, even though he was just a replica , he also felt happy—finally it was no longer something created out of thin air.

Link was not as simple as he thought. The uneasiness that had been lingering in his heart just now intensified. Seeing Caesar's happy face, he couldn't say anything. He only scanned the angel statue, saved the data, and then dragged Caesar into it. gone.

Caesar couldn't help but look back, but there was darkness behind him, Link removed the lighting equipment, and he couldn't see anything.

They seemed to be in an extremely empty hall. Link lowered his head and adjusted the value of the lighting equipment. The luminous point changed from one to five. The slender beams of light spread out, and the things hidden in the darkness finally appeared.

It was two rows of neatly arranged cultivation cabins. The fruit-green liquid filled inside became a little turbid after a long time. All the cultivation cabins had been destroyed by brute force. The edges of the holes were uneven, and the dust on the ground was hardened. It is tightly entangled with the liquid that flows out.

Something rubbed against Link's feet. He was startled, and subconsciously stepped back. It was only when he hit the ground that he realized that it was a mouse with only two of its four paws left. A dark red wound, seeing the light, the mouse seemed to be irritated, and roared to bite Link's leg, Caesar lowered his head and grabbed the mouse, grabbed it by the tail and pulled it up, so the two of them could see clearly, the mouse Half of the head had been lost, leaving only bones and flesh connected. The red-eyed and maddened expression was the same as any animal they had ever seen.

"Is it also infected with the virus?" Link walked around and threw the mouse away, "Is there a mad scientist doing experiments here?"

After he finished speaking, he naturally took the hand that caught the mouse to hold Link's hand. Link kept a straight face and slowly lowered his head to look. He was shaking Link's hand, very unhappy Said: "Do you despise me?"

"You are the captain, I dare not despise you." Link clasped his hand with his backhand, clasped his fingers, looked at him and said, "But you can't touch anything anymore, Did you hear that?"

"You said that I'm the captain! You can't control me." Caesar was dissatisfied, "Go forward."

As we got closer, it became more obvious that the destroyed training cabins were nearly three meters high and very large. Caesar thought of those crazy animals, and wondered if it was because of this that they were crazy?Why let them be like that?Who made it, and who smashed these training cabins?

Also, why is there such a statue of an angel exactly like me at the door?

There is an open space at the end of the two rows of training cabins, which looks like a throne at the end, but the things that were originally placed there have been removed, leaving only a perfectly circular trace on the ground.

Looking around the empty hall, the two found nothing but debris all over the floor, so they focused their attention on a small door in the corner. The locks on the door were messed up except for the combination lock in the middle. They added several different types of locks, but without exception, they were all destroyed by brute force. The two walked in without any hope. Sure enough, the contents inside were also emptied, leaving only a few locks on the ground. On the fragment, Caesar carefully squatted down to blow off the dust on it, and scrawled on the yellowed and brittle paper: On the 829th day, the data of record No. 81 are as follows.

After messily writing a series of numbers with unknown meanings, it was written at the bottom: He is coming soon.

Link also squatted down to look at it, but he didn't understand what it meant. The two looked at each other, and Caesar said, "Do you have any ideas?"

"The secret base of Frankenstein is used to do bad things. Who knows what strange things he will breed to destroy the world, but it is obvious that this place was destroyed many years ago, or the things he cultivated collectively escaped. , probably... that's it."

As he said this, his voice hesitated a bit, because he saw the gun marks on the wall, very special marks, hexagonal, with a very thin dot in the middle, and a layer of burnt black flowers exploded outside.

He approached and reached out to touch it. Caesar saw it and asked him, "What's the matter?"
