Longmen Memoirs

Rheinland Life has blocked all information internally.Black Steel could only get a rough idea, but the importance was enough for Black Steel to take action, or in other words, test.

"You may encounter members of different organizations in the research building. Remember, without teammates, all you encounter are enemies. From the moment you leave Black Steel, you have severed ties with Black Steel. All identifiers will be erased, and your information will not be restored to the Black Steel database until you return to the building at my feet after your mission."

"Is there anything else you need to add above?"

He looked around without saying anything.

"Then, disband!"

The roar of the engine mixed with the explosions and roars outside the car kept ringing in my ears. The five people sitting under the dim fluorescent lights in the car waited quietly for the car to stop, their bodies shaking with the bumps.

Finally, after the car stopped, they got out.

The car parked under a building not far from the Rhine Institute of Life. The building was already empty. Under the dark sky, in the direction of the Rhine Institute of Life there were flames and roars. A restless crowd surrounded the door of the institute. Before, he was induced by various forces to stay here and become a pawn.

Whether there is any work by Black Steel International, there is no doubt that it is. Even though Black Steel headquarters has just signed many contracts with Rheinland Life, at this time, in front of the gate of Rheinland Research Institute, Black Steel employees can still be seen on guard, maintaining Riotous order.

"Our mission is to test the experimental subjects in the research institute. We will start taking action in 5 minutes. Now check the equipment!!"

It was a blurry photo. In the photo, you could only vaguely see the blurry shadow of a girl and the sea of ​​fire beside her. On the projection screen in the third team's conference room, everyone had already learned about the mission goal.

Live or die.

Although the dead experimental subjects have little effect, they can be killed when necessary.

Chen Mo began to check the equipment and equipment on his body, including communicators, personal computers, short knives, long knives, and necessary Originium bombs. This mission was assigned by BPRS. Heavy armor and warlock operators were removed, and heavy chemical protective suits were not carried. After breaking into the interior of the research institute, the sniper operators will also be useless. All members of this mission are fast-moving and mobile pioneers.

"Start synchronizing the watch and set the time for 30 minutes."

Under the fluorescence in the dark, a 30:00 minute countdown begins to set. After entering the research facility, it will flow, and they only have 30:00. After the three 10 minutes are over, they will evacuate immediately. Those who have not evacuated will be considered as action Failure, subsequent evacuating troops will not wait.

These 30 minutes will determine life or death for everyone.

A total of 12 people entered in three groups. Under the cover of night, they directly entered the Black Steel Research Institute building from the predetermined side of the building through the gliding device.

The cold wind whistled past his ears. In the air, Chen Mo blinked and looked down. In front of the gate of the twin buildings, the long bridge was covered with roadblocks and bunkers. The security personnel inside the Black Steel and Research Institute blocked the In front of the bridge, on the opposite side of the bridge, there were countless crowds of people, restless and holding high flags filled with slogans.

Call sign:

"Truth, truth, truth!!"

It looks like a riot, but most of the people in front of me are ordinary people, and very few are infected. Their purpose of surrounding this place is also very simple. Not long ago, there were rumors about the secret source stone inside Black Steel. News of the experiment, this experiment is extremely risky. The aftermath of the explosion will sweep across the entire city, and everyone here is at risk of being infected.

Although the official statement has been released, in this era, in this crystallized era where everyone is in danger, who will believe you, not to mention there are so many people in the darkness adding fuel to the fire.

And Rheinland Life does have such a past.

The Source Stone blends into life, and the Source Stone changes life.

Chen Mo couldn't help but think, looking down at his arm.

--------

The Rheinland Life Research Institute is divided into three floors. Most of the buildings are located underground. Under the mobile city, there are countless branches. Outside the crisscrossing energy pipelines, there are most of the research spaces set up by the institute.

Deep in these spaces, there is a pink-hued room, which is arranged like a children's bedroom and filled with furry animal dolls and toys.

The girl from the Sakaz tribe sat quietly in the room. Soon after, the door to the room was pushed open.

"Hemo, Hemo, can Ifrit go out?"

The man in a white coat walked into the room. The girl jumped out of the bed and ran to her side quickly and asked.

"Not yet."

Hemo looked at the child in front of her and smiled softly. She reached out and touched the girl's head and comforted her softly:

"Ifrit needs to stay here for a while, so be good..."

Ifrit lowered his head in frustration.

"But... Hemo clearly said last time that as long as I stay here obediently, he will take me out to play... I have been waiting for Hemo and I didn't mess around."

Her mutterings rang in the room, and Hemer looked up at the room. All the toys were neatly arranged and had not been burned to ashes by a fire.

But even if it burns to ashes, the one who suffers is Ifrit herself.

"Ifrit, does it still hurt?" She squatted down gently and put her hands on the girl's shoulders, looking into her eyes.

"I haven't had any pain in a long time."

The girl said with twinkling eyes that she thought that if this was the case, Hemo would agree to take her out.

"I don't use fire anymore, so...it's getting better."

Those eyes shone with anticipation, and the look of anticipation made Hermer want to turn her head away. She knew that no matter how hard she tried, Ifrit could not leave here.

Leaving this room buried dozens of meters underground, behind those warm pink wallpapers is a cold, heat-resistant steel wall several meters thick.

"Ifrit, you can't do it now. You haven't recovered from your illness yet, so you can't go out yet. Be obedient... okay?"

She could only offer this kind of comfort and didn't even dare to promise anything.

"Hemo...liar!"

Ifrit reached out and patted away Hemo's hand that wanted to touch her face, pursed her lips and turned her head, her voice filled with tears.

A long time ago, she had been fantasizing about the scenery in the pictures that Hemo brought, those amusement parks, roller coasters, Ferris wheels, and rocking chairs. She thought that Hemo would take her out.

Even just once was enough, so she had been restraining, restraining the flames in her body, and could endure the pain, because when she thought of those things, even her body no longer hurt so much.

She knew very well that her power could only bring destruction, because everyone and every researcher looked at her with fear and rejection, as if they were looking at a monster.

Only Hemo and they were willing to get close to him.

She likes Hemo very much, so she doesn't like Hemo lying to her. Even if it's a lie, it's okay to make up a lie to deceive herself.

She clenched her hands tightly, and the light of the flame began to flow on her body surface, tingling her body under the uncontrollable emotions.

"Ifrit..." Hemo, who was watching all this, reached out and held Ifrit's hand.

The flames burned uncontrollably, burning her palms. She did not let go, and there was no expression on her face, only remorse and tenderness.

The researcher couldn't have feelings for the experimental subjects. She knew it very well and restrained herself clearly, but in the end she couldn't stop it. Looking at the fire and the girl wailing in the fire, she felt regretful at that moment. .

She was the culprit of all this, that wish, that caused all of this to happen, and she wanted to undo that.

The flames quickly stopped and the girl looked at her injured arm.

"Hemo...I'm sorry, I didn't want to."

"It doesn't matter. I know it. Ifrit just can't control her power. It doesn't matter. I will solve it."

She gently held the girl's shoulders and hugged her into her arms.

"Does it hurt? Hemo." The girl let her hold her and asked softly after a while.

"It doesn't hurt."

"Liar..."

"Ifrit, does it still hurt?"

"No, it doesn't hurt anymore."

"Really?" She hugged the girl, pulled away slightly, and looked at the young face: "I will cure Ifrit's disease, and one day, I will take Ifrit out of here. Until then, whatever Ifrit wants to do, I will be with you."

"Will Seria come too?"

"...Well, she will come."

"I haven't seen her in a long time."

"She is very busy, so Ifrit has to wait for a while and stay here obediently."

"I know, I believe Hermer."

Facing this sentence, she wanted to say something, but she could no longer say it. The reason why she came here, in front of these words of free trust in herself, she could not say it anyway.

"Hemer is here. Is the experiment started?"

"……Um."

"Aren't you going back? Helmer, the experiment is about to begin."

"Ifrit, I..."

"I believe in Hermer and always have."

Helmer left the pink room and the door slowly closed. The warm light and the girl's reluctant eyes were separated by the thin room, and then the thick steel slowly closed as if it was imprisoning some ferocious beast. .

Hemer raised her hand. The burn marks were so obvious, but she couldn't feel any pain.

Because this is... deserved.

"I disagree!!"

Angry【=~

The oppressive feeling did not waver the person behind the desk.

"It has been agreed from above. It doesn't matter whether you agree or not. Ceria, you just need to do your job well."

"You can just watch that child enter the experiment, Helmer!!"

Almost roaring, she didn't believe that the person in front of her, this friend, would really watch all this happen and remain indifferent.

But she was disappointed.

"This is something that was decided from the beginning." Helmer raised his head: "Do you want me to explain to you more about the lesson that researchers cannot have feelings for experimental subjects? Ceria."

There was no wavering in her eyes, only determination, as if she thought this was the right thing to do and this was the only way.

"I will never let this happen! Helmer, I can't watch that child go to destruction step by step. This matter, Rhine Life, you and me, was wrong from the beginning!"

Trying to modify the evolution of all things, or even control it, what a stupid plan!

"This is not our responsibility, and no one can stop it from happening!"

Hemo stood up abruptly, his petite body, and looked at Seria without hesitation. At this moment, she lost her composure.

Ceria finally saw the reality clearly. She turned around and left here without looking back.

She saw determination in Helmer's eyes, and was therefore extremely disappointed with this place.

"Ovelia-Hemo! If anything happens to Ifrit, I will never forgive you!!"

She watched her friend leave angrily, and the sound of a heavy door closing sounded in the room, as well as the sound of something breaking. From that day on, the friendship between her and Ceria came to an end.

Have you done anything you regret? Incorporating the Source Stone into your life.

Helmer thought of those eyes, black eyes, that he saw in front of the hospital bed in that dark room when she was young many years ago, looking at her.

There is no curiosity, only ashes and numbness at the end.

She lowered her head and looked at her bandaged hand, finally feeling the burning sting.

If anything happens to Ifrit, she will definitely not forgive me.

...Ceria, don’t even you agree with my philosophy?

Chapter 19 Codename Balrog ([-]) Invasion

Experimental subject: A81, Experimental subject A81-I, codename: Balrog Ifrit.

------

The single hang glider flew silently through the dark sky, over the crowds of demonstrators, and over the green space used for outdoor experiments of the institute that was reduced to flames.

The single-person gliding device was dismantled and abandoned on the roof. Five figures appeared on the top of the institute building. After quickly unlocking the device, they began to install the rope.

"A1 is ready, channel 0301, report the situation."

Chen Mo gave a thumbs up, clung to the edge of the building, and descended along the rope of the rappelling equipment. He was the temporary captain of the invasion team.

"A-2 received, ready."

"A-3 is ready."

"A-4 is ready."

Chen Mo took a breath, pulled down his mask, and glanced left and right at the team members holding the rappel ropes on both sides.
