Chapter 39 The first diary
"We are sinners of mankind." This is the first sentence at the beginning of the record.
With Saff helping to cut the metal door, several people broke into the director's office, one of the most important departments of the institute.
Unlike other rooms, there are not so many machinery and research equipment in the director's room, but instead are filled with a bookish atmosphere. The inner side of the circular wall is covered with bookshelf, and the bookshelf is filled with various books, many of which are even stacked on other books, which shows that the number is too large.
In the middle of the room, surrounded by bookshelf, there is a large desk. It is completely imagined that many years ago, the director who looked quite a book lover, sat here with black-framed glasses and enjoyed the happiness surrounded by countless books. What a pleasant thing, I am afraid that I would be so comfortable that I would not want to leave here easily.
In fact, the director of the institute did do this, and he is now sitting behind the desk, just like every day many years ago.
To be precise, it was his body.
Yes, the director of the institute died at his desk and died with his favorite books.
The director's skull was half blown away, a small gun was held in his mouth, and his shriveled fingers were still on the trigger, maintaining his last posture before his death.
Death is terrifying, but the expression is quite peaceful, well, at least for the frog's appearance, with a sense of relief that can finally escape the nightmare, and even the joy of his last moment.
On the desk in front of me, a hard-crust diary was spread out on the desktop, and a strange-shaped pen pressed on the diary, with an open ink bottle next to it.
"Hu." Shur sighed softly, took off the hood of the priest robe, stroked his chest with one hand and bowed deeply to the corpse. People who actively choose to die in the position he loves are always worthy of respect, whether they are the same species or not, not to mention that he left messages for those who later generations.
"He was probably in a very panic before he died." Shur said, looking down at the body, "But what made him panic should not be death. He died very resolutely without any hesitation."
"Are the ink bottles and pens?" Mia, the cold, was actually the most meticulous one besides Shuer. "It was indeed very panicked. Looking at the situation of his desk cleaning, he should be a very organized person. But before he died, the ink bottle was not covered and the pen was not covered, which obviously did not conform to his habits."
"He should still remain calm when he sat down at the table. Here, the pencil case on the table is covered, and the glass cover for storing the ink bottle is also closed, which means that when he took out the stationery, he still maintained the same habit as before, that is to say..."
The eyes of several people fell on the diary at the same time. Although they didn't say it out, everyone already understood that the person began to become more and more panic and desperate as he wrote. Why is this happening? What exactly did he write?
"Tsk, handwritten, why don't you write in printed form?" Picking up the diary, Shuer sighed immediately. The frogman's letters are weird and complicated, and reading handwritten words is like a nightmare for Shuer who has newly removed this kind of text.
"Let me see what is said in the diary, what did you encounter?" Looking back and forward, finding the beginning of the last record, the first thing Shuer saw was the line of words.
"We are sinners of humanity, and everyone here is."
"The word humans are their own claims," Shuer suddenly stopped reading and explained, "I am used to translating it like this. Please adjust your brains in other races."
"We have committed irreversible crimes because we have opened the guagua box with our own hands and released the most terrifying demon."
"What is guaguagua?" Mia twitched, staring at Shul with her eyes squinted.
"I can't understand it, it should be a name."
"Similar to the box of despair?" Seul poked half of his face behind him, and Suff carefully guessed, "In the end, there is only the source of disaster that hopes to be closed?"
"The biggest point of deciphering words is that when encountering something that cannot be understood, it depends on your brain." Sul continued to read the fallacy of apologizing to the decipherers of the world.
"Initially, when we built this research station, we only wanted to study xx of local organisms. This is a very ordinary research field. We have done it countless times before. We never thought that this would bring about a disaster that would destroy the world."
"Why is this happening? Could it be that God is punishing us for defining God as illusory?"
"It's even worse than expected. It seems that the scope of the disaster is not just this island." Shur sighed, "The whole world is destroyed, at least he thinks it is."
"Well, I don't understand the following articles very well. They are probably some repentance and self-moaning words, and there is no actual content."
"Then choose the useful ones." Everyone's curiosity could no longer be restrained.
"Well, here." Shuer turned a few pages in a row before pointing to the diary, "Who would have thought that they were smarter than we thought."
"They are more patient than humans and can endure for a few years, for more than ten years, until they are sure to destroy everything, and launch the final attack all over the world at the same time."
"They will parasitize in the human body and control the human body by affecting the nerve center. It doesn't matter whether the target is dead or alive. Only by destroying the nerve center can you be liberated."
"It's so terrible, you can't imagine that the friend and lover who were still joking with each other yesterday suddenly became the most brutal demon, tearing open your body and kicking your neck without hesitation."
"XXX is too concealed to prevent it in advance. Even the most solid barriers will be easily broken through from the inside. The research station can only gain a little breath by blocking all entrances and exits and completely cutting off contact with the outside."
"The last time I got the news from outside, xx and xxxx have been destroyed, and only x and xxx are still resisting tenaciously, but if you lose the support of other cities, it is only a matter of time before you destroy it."
"However, we no longer need to worry about them, because we are about to destroy ourselves. Their hosts are already spread throughout the city and their control is expanding rapidly."
"In the broadcast, the webmaster ordered that all personnel, whether civil or military, would concentrate on the lowest level and carry out the final resistance. But I would not go there. I am old and going there is just a burden, and this is my battlefield. This is my institute, and I want to live and die with the institute."
"What's more, even if you resist, it's meaningless. Human beings have been completely finished and destruction is in their own hands. Hope will no longer exist."
"I finally finished reading." After a long breath, Shuer took his finger away from the diary and said reluctantly, "Although I don't know the specific details, I probably already know what happened."
"It was a group of people who, with unremitting efforts, finally killed all the animals in their clan and all the animals." Mia said with a cold face, "And it was not until she died that she knew that the disaster had come."
"Well, this is the basic meaning. Although it is not helpful to solve our current dilemma, at least I can confirm my previous guess."
"There are really plants that can parasitize on the human body, and they can also control the human body's actions in turn." Militi feels that the knowledge she has learned in the past has been greatly challenged. "In theory, parasites cannot control the host, but rely on the host's survival."
"Actually, there should be a sign of premonition." Shur shook his head, "When we first came in, they had tried to control our behavior by controlling our emotions, but they just didn't succeed completely."
"I'm very strange." Moria looked through the diary that she couldn't understand curiously, "It says that the disaster broke out suddenly, right?"
"Um."
"And it also said that the entrance and exit were completely blocked and the internal and external connections were cut off to prevent the plants outside from penetrating inward, although it still failed in the end."
"I understand what you mean. You are wondering what the traps are about the entrance that are obviously for people to enter and exit." Shur sighed, "I can't give this answer. Maybe it was designed before the disaster broke out."
"Impossible." Mia interrupted Shure's explanation, "The tree is right. The traps at the door are obviously targeting the plants outside. The diary also said that it was originally just a very ordinary research station. It is normal to have a guard, but it is limited to conventional guards. Those fire-breathing sprinkling things should not appear here at all, especially in the reception room. We have seen that there are automatic weapons in the reception room, which is beyond the level of conventional alert. And after the disaster broke out, there was no need to set up these."
"I also know that this is not normal. The problem is that besides the design before the disaster broke out, what other reasonable explanations are there?" Shuer said helplessly. "You don't want to say that it is the plants that control the corpses of the frogman. You can build them to guard against yourself when you have nothing to do. Hahaha, this is too exaggerated."
Shul was laughing, but no one could hear it, and he didn't smile at all. Although this statement was nonsense, it made people shudder after thinking deeply.
"I won't consider this issue for now, it's not a point. Let's study it slowly when I go back." Shuer tapped his fingers on the table. This was his habitual action when he was thinking, but this time, the rhythm of the tapping was a little special.
When everyone heard this strange rhythm, they felt a little nervous.
This is the code that represents the most serious situation in the agreement. The meaning is that no matter what Shuer says and does, all team members must cooperate unconditionally. Since Shuer uses code to convey information, it may mean...
