Horror Variety Survival Record

In the oppressive monitoring room, Nie Xinyan turned his eyes away from more than a dozen monitors with different screens, lowered his head and pinched his Jingming acupoint.

The mobile phone on the table vibrated. He picked up the mobile phone and glanced at it, then threw himself heavily on the back of the chair.

There was only one message on the phone screen, from his wife.

——The divorce agreement was placed on the coffee table in the living room.The child comes with me.

Those two short sentences were like a little snake hovering in Nie Xinying's mind.

He was even trying to recall his wife's face, only to find that there was only a cloud of fog.

When he first joined the State Administration of Scientific Research, he was not so busy. He could go home and eat a meal with his family every day, and his life was orderly. and stop.

Come to think of it, it seemed like it had been more than three months since the last time I was home.

Nie Xinying can't even remember how old her son is now.

His wife's text message went through his mind several times, and the final feedback from his brain was: "How long does it take for the divorce agreement to be submitted to the Civil Affairs Bureau?"

Thinking of this, Nie Xinyan sighed deeply. If she knew that she would be transferred to such a place, she should not have chosen to get married in the first place.My heart is still full of guilt for my wife and children. Divorce is indeed a relief for both parties.

He opened the reply interface unhurriedly, thinking about the wording of the reply in his mind, and just as he clicked on the keyboard, he heard the alarm sound of "beep-beep-beep-" stand up.

"They're hooked!"

The assistants came over excitedly, and Nie Xinying had already thrown away her phone, propped her hands on the table, and wished that her upper body could get into the monitor.

He and the four assistants focused their attention on one of the monitor screens.

The picture is very dark, and a few figures can be vaguely seen moving forward from the depths, until they reach the door of the foreground room.

A total of seven people.

Nie Xinying counted the people and identified them one by one.

As he expected, some of these people are afraid, some are calm, and some are pretending to be calm. These are the types of human reactions when encountering unknown things.

"Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow

"It's red! It's expanding!" Another male assistant also shouted. He looked at the computer screen beside him, and saw irregular color blocks appearing on it, as if it were a certain perspective picture.

On the screen, the red color slowly expands, while the blue color disappears at a speed visible to the naked eye, and is finally completely swallowed by the red color!

This is a newly equipped emotion detector for the experimental group. The more emotional the test subject is, the wider the range of red will be. On the contrary, the calmer the mood, the wider the range of blue.In addition, the type and degree of emotion can also be judged according to the shape, size, and depth of the color block. It is a newly developed high-tech product, and it is said that there is only one in the world.

Different from the three male assistants who were as excited as a child, the only female was extremely calm. She pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose and analyzed objectively: "Fear is a human instinct. Humans usually have a faster heartbeat when they are afraid. , shortness of breath, sweaty palms, and elevated body temperature. Judging from this reaction, all seven of them are afraid, but to varying degrees."

"People will have similar reactions when they are nervous or when they are courting a mate, so how to distinguish them?" Nie Xinying asked.

The female assistant replied: "It depends on the situation at the time. Like them, the physiological reaction in an unknown and dangerous environment can be interpreted as 'fear'. But if there is a particularly beautiful opposite sex standing opposite, this reaction It will be interpreted as the 'feeling of being in love', people's bodies are stupid, and there are only these kinds of reactions."

"You are right, but the human brain is very smart and can give different explanations for the same response. How to establish an inevitable connection between cognition and physiological response is a topic we need to study."

Nie Xinying felt like a university professor leading four graduate students to do a research project, but this research project was much crueler than the research in those universities.

After these words, everyone fell into thinking. This topic has troubled them for a long time.Although brain research has developed rapidly, human beings can only explore the relationship between the nervous system and physiological responses, and then "Where do emotions come from?" "How does cognition arise?" "The value of life" Where did you come from?” and other questions are still a mystery.

During the silence, someone murmured softly: "Is there really an answer?" Another round of solidification engulfed the air.

Their observations over the past week are just repeated verifications of known facts.

However, it's only been a week and there's still a long way to go.

Nie Xinyan shook off the doubts in her heart, and tried to make her voice sound confident and firm: "Tune up the surveillance in that room. The study of facial expressions is also a topic."

This is the seventh experimental project Nie Xinying took over, and it is also the first experiment to stimulate and test the "human brain".

Before being transferred to this experimental department, his leader specially invited him to the most expensive restaurant in the city for a meal, and he and the leader were the only two people in the dinner.

The leader had a heart-to-heart conversation with him for three hours. The two sides talked about work and life, and life and family. After talking about everything that could be discussed, the leader described to him a very big brain hole, that is, human beings The dream of immortality.

The leader said that with the rapid development of modern science and technology and medicine, human beings will soon be able to get rid of physical diseases and enter a new era, and the existence of our scientific research bureau is to lead society into this new era.

While drinking and drinking, the leader mentioned medical technologies such as blood circulation reuse, high-sensitivity prosthetics, and regenerative organs, which are only in the development stage. At the end of the conversation, he took Nie Xinying's hand and explained earnestly: "Xinxin Rong, I know that you are an ambitious young man, and I have a particularly important task to entrust to you."

This task is the leader of the newly established experimental department, who will lead the team to carry out the experimental work of various new technologies before they are put into use.

Nie Xinying has been working hard in the Scientific Research Bureau, adhering to the principle of doing things without merit. He doesn't quite understand why the leader hired him to take up such an important position, but his habit of being a "good guy" all the time made him immediately Take this task.

Now that I think about it, I was carried onto a train that couldn't get off halfway.

The first two or three experiments were normal, testing the matching degree of the "regenerated organ" and the human body.After obtaining the consent of the subjects, the experiment will implant "regenerative organs" in the subjects, and conduct long-term observations on the subjects ranging from 3 to 10 years. Physical examination, adverse reactions, control with drugs, etc., and record.

The beginning of the nightmare was the experiment with as many as 20 people. The leader said that these people were all death row inmates in the prison, but Nie Xinyi saw that there were old and young, men and women among them, and everyone's eyes were so different. Clear and pure, it doesn't look like a criminal at all.

However, his work habits all along made him do more and ask less. Since it was an order from the leader, he obediently carried it out.Furthermore, when his son was just starting elementary school, the tutoring fee, the textbook fee, and a summer camp cost half of his salary every now and then. The family really couldn't cut off his source of income.

After this time, almost all of them were large-scale experiments involving 30 to [-] people, and the content of the experiments changed from simple observation of the suitability of regenerative organs to targeted organ debugging and trials.

After a long time, Nie Xinyan also understood in his heart that the subjects of these experiments were not the death row prisoners that the leaders said at all. They didn't even know the real purpose of being called up, and thought they were just here to work as a small job to earn some small money!

But being in the organization, Nie Xinying couldn't say a word more. He operated the scalpel on those innocent people according to the request of his superiors, tricked them into the real purpose and content of the experiment, and used them as guinea pigs for the experiment. Just throw it away.

Of course, Nie Xinying was also resistant at first. He couldn't eat or sleep for several days. He kept the resignation letter in his pocket countless times, thinking that he must hand it in today, but every time he saw his wife and son With a carefree appearance, he will silently convince himself, no matter how much he endures, no matter how much he endures, he will wait for his son to grow up.

Two years later, when the "human brain experiment" was assigned to him, Nie Xinying still hesitated.This is different from moving the body before. The research on the brain is more difficult, and there is not enough knowledge to support it. The most important point is that he is tired.

However, a word from the leader pulled him back to the train.

——"I met your son yesterday, and I asked him what he wants to be when he grows up? He proudly told me that he wants to serve the country like his father."

"Serving the Country"...

Nie Xinying was speechless. To be honest, this job did not make him very proud, but he did not want his son to know his suffering and pain.

There is no turning back on this train, and if you get off the train halfway, you will only fall to pieces, and you can only run forward, even if the destination is an eternal hell.

Nearly two weeks into the experiment, they've found nothing.

They saw many bright things and dark things in these "competitors", but these things are not new at all. Human society has seen tens of thousands of live cases for thousands of years.There is no need to verify it on these children now.

Needs something a little more exciting.

While planning what to do, Nie Xinying noticed the boy named Ke Chun among the "contestants".

This boy is simpler and more straightforward than ordinary people, and all his emotions are revealed on the outside, as if he is a transparent person, and he can see the bottom of him at a glance.

There is no one more suitable for studying the basic emotions of human beings!

He immediately decided that the whole group would focus on Ke Chun, trying to use him as a blueprint to draw up a set of basic emotional response characteristics, and then deduce it based on this.

In the process of observing Ke Chun, Nie Xinying felt more and more that her judgment was correct.

This boy is directly exposed when expressing his emotions, and he is particularly easy to "like" others.

The topic of love was not the purpose of this experiment, and Ke Chun can be regarded as an unexpected harvest.

From Lu Youyi, to Xi Wenyao, to his roommate, this little boy's heartbeats and heartbreaks time and time again, the emotional map draws beautiful pictures one after another, and Nie Xinying stares at him every night. A few pictures were recorded and analyzed, and a whole notebook was written.

The female assistant flipped through the notes and frowned.

"Are human beings really that simple? Can you fall in love with someone so casually?"

"'Sexual attraction' is just a biological instinct. Our focus is on how humans will recognize and process it after receiving the hormonal signal." Nie Xinying explained earnestly, taking notes from the female assistant, flipping through When I reached a certain page, I took a pen and added something.

"Love is really unreliable." The female assistant softly complained.

Nie Xinying, who was obsessed with his notes, didn't hear this sentence. He instructed: "Record every change of his mood in detail, as well as the circumstances that caused it. We need to study it carefully."

The female assistant replied "OK", but suddenly asked, "Do human beings really need this kind of 'emotion'? In my opinion, it will only get in the way."

The male assistant who had been listening to the conversation between the two couldn't help teasing: "Sister Lin hasn't been in a relationship, has she?"

But because of this, the female assistant rolled her eyes: "Don't call me that, it's disgusting." After finishing speaking, she turned her head and continued to analyze the data.

The male assistant stuck out his tongue at Nie Xinming mischievously, and then turned around to continue monitoring the screen.

Nie Xinyan shook his head, young people don't understand the importance of "feelings", when the heart is calm and ashamed, that person is no different from death.

If it is true that regenerating organs can make humans immortal, then regenerating the brain is undoubtedly the key to making people feel "alive".

Of course, Nie Xinying doesn't care about all this. His focus is always on the work in hand. The train is still running, so he can't stop.

"I've figured out the rules for the final round."

His eyes stopped on a box of pistols that had just been delivered by the bureau today. He said that it was a newly developed batch of guns, which could instantly cause people to faint, and the coma effect lasted for three days.

Three days is enough for them to do the aftermath.

The plan was perfect, the same as any previous experiment.

The third round of cat and mouse is over, and Nie Xinying decides to let everyone go back and have a good night's rest.

There is still a little time before the final closing, and this day and night is coming to an end.

After sleeping for six hours, Nie Xinying walked into the monitoring room full of energy, and bumped into a male assistant running up in a panic, seeing his face and yelling like seeing a ghost: "The big thing is not right. !"

Needless to say, Nie Xinying has already noticed that the monitors in the entire room are all dark, only the computer screen emits a little light, and the perspective view above is completely blank.

His face sank, and he asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"

"It's broken! The signal is broken!" The male assistant was sweating profusely. They were checking each device in the house separately. The power supply was fine, but it was only a signal problem.

Nie Xinrong's heart tightened, what happened at the last moment? !

If this project is messed up, let alone his future, everyone here will have to put a question mark on whether they will have their lives to go out!

"When did it stop?"

"This morning, when I arrived at five o'clock, it was all dark."

"Where's Ruby?"

"could not be reached!"

The female assistant said while swiping her mobile phone: "The news said that the thunderstorm that occurred once in 30 years caused a landslide. The entire mountain was sealed off and no one was allowed to go up."

Her voice trembled uncommonly.

"Once in 30 years..." Nie Xinying muttered, and couldn't help but smile inwardly. This was exactly the same as the excuses they had made before to destroy corpses and traces. Is there really retribution in this world?

The assistants were at a loss and waited for Nie Xinying to issue orders.

"Xiao Ma, Xiao Lin, you are responsible for finding a way to restore the signal. Xiao Jiang, Xiao Zhang, you drive to the foot of the mountain, and go up the mountain to check the situation as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

Three days later, Nie Xinying received a call from Xiao Zhang on the front line. The content of the call was very simple, telling him to go to the scene.

Nie Xinying would never have imagined that this scene would become a turning point in his life.

When he stepped into the castle that he had seen on the monitor countless days and nights, his whole heart trembled.

The place was grander, more empty, more suffocating than he had imagined.

It is like a huge prison, where thousands of souls scream, struggle, and beg for help, and all the voices cannot leak out when the castle gate is closed.

Nie Xinyan looked up at the huge dome and saw the three little angels circling around, feeling extremely ironic in his heart.

Xiao Jiang and Xiao Zhang took him to the underground warehouse, and he could smell a disgusting rancid smell far away from the stairs.

Instinct made him stop, but the eyes cast by the two assistants forced him to move forward step by step.

What kind of hell is behind the warehouse gate? Nie Xinying couldn't get out of this nightmare all his life.

Five corpses, lined up in a row and leaning against the shelf in the warehouse, all staring at their eyes and opening their mouths, as if they were casting the most poisonous curse on him.

These five faces are very familiar to Nie Xinying. He used to watch them laugh, cry, and jump around on the monitor. Unlike the subjects who were treated as guinea pigs, Nie Xinying could call out their names one by one. , He has seen their emotions, they are "human beings", not "guinea pigs".

Five living people, right in front of him, died so tragically.

It was a horrible feeling to be there in person.Through the monitor, Nie Xinying has never had such a feeling of being deeply stimulated, and when all the five sense organs are immersed in a "field", the sensory cells receive tens of thousands of times more than the monitor.

He hated why such an accident happened at this juncture, otherwise he would just need to hand over the aftermath work to other departments, and he would not have to face and deal with this cruel and difficult scene himself.

"Team leader, Xiao Jiang and I moved them here..." Xiao Zhang's face turned blue when he spoke.

"They were scattered in other rooms, we... vomit..." Xiao Jiang ran out and vomited before finishing her sentence.

Nie Xinyan covered her mouth and nose, got up and walked outside.

"Team leader, there is one more person." Xiao Zhang ran two steps to keep up with Nie Xinying, and reported.

Under Xiao Zhang's guidance, Nie Xinyan saw the sixth person.

The boy who smiled like an innocent child in the monitor and cried without any impurities.

The boy's eyes lost their light, and he huddled in the corner of the room in a daze, motionless.He was wrapped in a thick quilt, his lips trembled slightly but he didn't make a sound.

"Ke... Chun." Nie Xinying called him, but found that her throat was choked, and her voice was half swallowed.

The boy didn't give any response.

Nie Xinyan looked at Xiao Zhang, and Xiao Zhang said that when he found Ke Chun, he had been like this all the time, and he didn't respond to anything he said, and he seemed to be alive, but he seemed to be dead.

It was as if a big hole had been gouged out in Nie Xinyan's heart. Enduring the pain, he shook his head and said, "Take him back."

"What happened to Team Leader Nie?" Ke Chun asked curiously after hearing Lang Qiu tell the story of the experiment 80 years ago.

"died."

Ke Chun was speechless: "...how did you die?"

"I'm getting old and my organs are failing." Lang Qiu answered briefly.

"Is he... the mastermind of the human experiment?"

"No, the human experiment is a national project, and the Experimental Department of the Scientific Research Bureau is just an executive unit under it, and this executive unit is not announced to the outside world, and almost no one knows its existence."

"So, this experiment, and the human experiments involving hundreds of people are all led by the state?" Ke Chun's eyes widened, which completely subverted his three views.

Lang Qiu didn't answer, but looked at Ke Chun and asked a new question: "Have you remembered? What happened here."

"Ah."

After gaining the awareness of "dreams", Ke Chun found that there were many treasure chests that he had never seen before in his memory. After he opened them one by one, familiar memories flooded him like a flood, joyful and sad. Angry, guilty, regretful... He finally found himself.

"Would you like to talk about it?" Lang Qiu asked.

"It's basically the same as ours this time, um... because this time it's based on my memory. The bifurcation point is after we lost contact. At that time, we were also thinking about how to escape from this place just like this time. What the hell, the difference is that this time we solved Hongyu, but Hongyu was still there at that time. Hongyu announced the rules of the fourth round of the game on the second day, which is 'silent assassination'. Everyone's body and The spirit is at the limit. My roommate and I appeal to everyone to unite and not to fall into the trap of the program group, but everyone looks at us. Kuai Anhe pretended to approach us and killed my roommate when we were not prepared. ——Oh yes, according to what you just said just made him unconscious, but we don’t know, what Hongyu said is that this gun can kill people. I think, that’s when my... depravity began.”

Ke Chun said lightly, these things seemed to him like a lifetime ago, because there was still a long period of memory in the middle that he didn't touch, and he didn't dare to touch it now.

"To put it simply, after my roommate was killed, I went crazy. I became the target of everyone. There were eyes everywhere. They were all looking at me and wanted to kill me. That's why Geng Yanbin chased me down." In the reading room, I killed him...I..." Ke Chun suddenly paused.

"Did you really kill him?" Lang Qiu took the time to ask.

Faced with the speculation in his mind, Ke Chun couldn't believe it.

"I... don't remember. At that time, my mind went blank. It was Kuai Anhe who told me that I killed him. Did I really kill him?"

"And after that?"

"Afterwards I...killed everyone, including Kuai Anhe—he was the last one I did. He stared at me, his eyeballs were about to pop out, but I didn't feel scared at all, instead I was very excited, like a pervert …When he fell down, the corners of his mouth were raised slightly, as if he was mocking me. But at that time, I didn’t care anymore. When I was the only one left in the whole castle, my brain was emptied, and my body was getting worse and worse. It was cold, I wrapped myself in a quilt and hid in a corner, it was still very cold, the room was like an ice cellar... Then, I didn’t remember anything.”

Lang Qiu carefully observed Ke Chun's state - this has become his instinct.

He found that although Ke Chun's tone was very flat, his hands were trembling slightly, and his expression was also very bad. He asked softly, "Do you need me to give you a hug?"

Ke Chun was a little surprised, and looked up at him: "If possible."

Lang Qiu opened his arms, hugged Ke Chun into his arms, and stroked his back with very light and gentle movements.This made Ke Chun very comfortable, and he quickly got out of that emotion.

"Why did you tell me these things?" This was Ke Chun's last doubt about Lang Qiu. If he obeyed the orders of his superiors to monitor him, it meant that the experiment was still going on. So what's the point of telling him the truth?

Lang Qiu was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice with great strength: "Gambling is the possibility of human beings."

Ke Chun didn't understand, but Lang Qiu didn't intend to explain.

"Finally, let me ask you one more question, can I trust you?" Ke Chun's clear eyes looked straight into Lang Qiu's deep pupils, and he tried to find the truth in Lang Qiu's eyes, and he felt that he had found it.

When Lang Qiu nodded affirmatively and said the word "can", Ke Chun had already chosen not to turn back.

After being cheated so many times, why not believe it again?

Losing is nothing more than ending this life that should have ended long ago.

If you win by luck, you may win the whole world!

Ke Chun found that he was also gambling.

"But now there is a very serious problem." Lang Qiu's expression darkened suddenly.

Seeing him glance at the phone, Ke Chun asked casually, "Can you still contact the outside world?"

Lang Qiu was a little embarrassed, but he still chose to be honest: "It's always possible, but...the outsiders can't save us. Only one person knows how to escape your conscious world."

Almost at the same time, both of them said a name - "Bo Yiran".
