white night syndrome

Chapter 54 049. The Truth
The messy and untied long hair covered the bandage wrapped around the face, the traces of blood dried to black, the bandage hid the whole face, from the bridge of the nose to the chin, only revealing a pair of sharp eyes.

Endless darkness emerged from this person like a tide, Li Ming subconsciously took a few steps back, trying to avoid the abyss-like darkness.

However, it was of no avail.

The rush of darkness caused the lights in the entire room to flicker a few times, before dying out and then turning on again.

"Looking at you, you should be Saburo Onodera. As for the subjects recruited for his crazy experiment, let me introduce myself first. My surname is Mitarai, and I am the person in charge of the eastern laboratory. Of course, I should be regarded as the former one term."

Mitarai? !

Li Ming couldn't believe it, at this moment, he felt that all the speculations before had collapsed and vanished into thin air.

Originally thought that according to Dr. Mimorai's diary, he had already escaped from this laboratory, and all my speculations were based on this so-called fact.

But now?

"Wait, which Mitarai are you? Is it the doctor of plant-human compatibility?"

Li Ming quickly took out the white paper from his pocket and scribbled on it. Although the man was a little curious, he continued to read.

"Ha, I didn't expect my name to be famous, or my experiment to be famous. It seems that my previous efforts were not in vain."

The man who called himself "Mitarai" let out a hoarse laugh.

"Well, you know my name, which means that you must know something about my great experiment on the future development of mankind. Are you interested in abandoning the cooperation with Onodera and devoting yourself to me?"

"You bastard."

Li Ming gritted his teeth, thinking of the series of things that happened before, and the experiment record, he couldn't restrain his anger, he rushed forward and punched the man.

At first, he thought that his fist could hit solid human flesh, but in an instant, Li Ming felt a sharp twist. Blinded by anger, he came to his senses. His fisting right hand had been crushed by a thick vine. Wrap, and set aside.

Following this vine to the root, it was drilled out of Mitarai's black coat, as flexible as an octopus' tentacles.

What the hell is this!

Li Ming gritted his teeth, trying to break free from the shackles of the vines, but in the end it was futile. The vines became tighter and tighter under Dr. Mitarai's control, and a circle appeared on Li Ming's right wrist. ischemic white blot.

"Oh, it seems that the loyalty of the subjects recruited by Saburo Onodera this time is quite high. It really opened my eyes more and more. I didn't expect this kind of lunatic to have loyal followers."

The word "believer" spit out from the man's mouth, Li Ming immediately thought of the previous speculation, but because of special restrictions, he really couldn't speak, so he could only bite his lower lip.

"What? Are you unconvinced? Then why did you come forward and touch me as soon as you heard my self-introduction?"

Before he finished speaking, the vines controlled by Mitarai let go of Li Ming's right hand, but what made him a little curious was that the man in front of him was watching the vines move on his own, with a surprised expression on his face. Look around the corner.

"I didn't expect that everything could happen to be together today."

Mitarai muttered to himself, and as he spoke, he threw aside a huge curtain that he had during his lifetime, and then sat down at a random place, holding his hands, his face full of fun.

"Subject number H, I was still thinking about when the experimental dormancy period originally scheduled for half a year would end. I didn't expect it to be today, and it was the same day as my optical camouflage expired. To my surprise, the nutrition room welcomed the first guest today, this is simply our lucky day, right?"

Number H?

While moving his wrist, Li Ming looked into the deeper part of the room in amazement, and at the same time searched for the memory of this letter in his mind.

Soon he realized that something was wrong. He had all the records about H in his memory, only the beginning number in the experiment record, which was the one related to his father Jiang Wenli.

I was still curious about the meaning of the number at the beginning of the experiment record, so today, it seems that this is actually the name for the subject?
Then, according to what Mitarai said just now, that is to say, subject H, Uncle Jiang Wenli, fell asleep in a deeper corner of this room, but just woke up today.

But the problem arises again. Logically speaking, this white dream world is an image of more than ten years ago, so Jiang Wenli wakes up today. Does the concept of "today" refer to [-] or more than ten years ago? Woolen cloth?
More and more doubts disappeared with the appearance of the figure in front of him, because in Li Ming's vision, he and the person Fa Xiao was looking for were finally exposed in front of him. have been subjected to inhuman treatment.

but--

All of Li Ming's emotions reached their climax at this moment, the slightly hunched figure that only existed in his impression finally appeared in front of him, and he confirmed that he was still alive.

"Let that child go."

The man who appeared in front of the two had no expression on his face. It was just that the pores on his body had expanded due to the plant growth caused by the previous experiment, which seemed a little scary, but his behavior was still the same as in the previous impression.

The voice was hoarse and deeper than before, and it seemed weirder and colder in the rolling darkness.

"Huh? It looks like you know this visitor? It's interesting, it's getting more and more interesting."

Mitarai clapped her hands pretentiously, although she looked like she was watching a play, she was still vigilant in her movements, and she didn't intend to let Li Ming leave at all.

It can only be said that he is indeed a crazy doctor. Not only is his thinking crazy and advanced, but he has not even figured out his current status, and he still looks like the master of the laboratory.

Huge changes have taken place outside the nutrition room. Dr. Onodera's whereabouts are still unknown, but he is peaceful and content in the nutrition room. Such a comparison is really ridiculous.

"However, you are just one of my experimental subjects. It's just that the experiment is more successful than other experimenters. What qualifications do you have to order me?"

"I'll say it one last time, let that kid go."

Jiang Wenli's face was pale, and unruly plant branches and leaves had already emerged from the opened mouth during the exchange, which looked extremely weird.

Seeing this scene in front of him, Li Ming couldn't help walking to the side and vomited again and again. This picture of combining plants and humans is just a thought and I don't mind too much, but when I actually face it directly, I feel an inexplicable sense of nausea Really hard to make.

"Have you seen it? Your current body makes even people you know feel disgusting. I advise you to stay with me obediently. You are my experimental subject. What creator would treat his own child? Do something bad?"

Mitarai folded her hands, continued to watch the scene, and also raised her legs by the way.

"You are now favoring the visitor in front of you. When you really get together alone, what will this guy who vomits and disgusts you do to you? I really can't imagine."

"."

Jiang Wenli, whose skin had been distorted and mutated, glanced at Li Ming who was vomiting indifferently, with a complicated expression, but still did not speak.

I believe that in his mind, he has already had the same idea as Dr. Mitarai said.

If the background here was in his hometown, then he would not be afraid, because "Filial piety is the first of all virtues", and the education of the younger generation is that they must respect the elders.

But now the background is in Japan, no, or a place far away from his hometown. Although he doesn't know why Li Ming is here, he still has some concerns.

"I remember you said that you would let me go back to my own home after doing the experiment for me, but later on you left me in this damn laboratory on the grounds that my body was not fully adapted to the plant juice inside.

And now that I finally wake up, you have asked me to stay with you with a thousand words, what exactly do you mean? "

While listening to the exchange between the two, Li Ming discovered an important doubtful point. Jiang Wenli communicated with Dr. Mitarai in Chinese, but Dr. Mitarai's nationality is obviously Japan, so how could they answer fluently?
Could it be that during Jiang Wenli's sleeping period, this crazy doctor has been studying Chinese?

It is well known that for foreign people, there is no ten or eight years that is completely incomplete. This is a very strange place.

But after thinking about it, since Dr. Mitarai can think of using plants and humans to achieve the purpose of immortality, with such a crazy idea, his IQ should also be very high, so learning another language is relatively fast.

"It's been so many days, it's been half a year, Mr. Jiang, you don't really think that I do these experiments for the future of you, the bottom of society, do you?"

Mitarai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he smiled almost maniacally, his face was full of disdain, he stood up, and paced back and forth in full view, as if the ancient emperor was admiring his own garden.

"Have you seen these subjects who sacrificed their lives for the experiment? Together with you, and your work, which in my opinion is currently the most successful, is a stepping stone for me to get closer to the god I enshrine."

God?

Li Ming recovered from his nausea. This name appeared more than once in his previous discussions with Heisawa, especially the ones about "The Terror Underground in Warrentang" and "The Apocalypse of Glaaki". In the discussion, it appeared frequently.

In the end, they finally determined that this Dr. Mitarai was probably a believer of those plant-type old rulers, no, it should be said that he was a fanatical believer.

To be able to tirelessly and continuously experiment in the basically impossible subject of the integration of plants and humans, this kind of fanaticism, really even a serious doctor can't do it.

Inventors like Edison saw hope when they invented something, and wanted to make this hope last longer.

But Mitarai is not. He has to carry out this nightmarish and difficult experiment amid repeated failures. It is hard not to make people doubt his original motives.

From some scattered experimental records, it can be seen that he is as crazy and distorted as Dr. Onodera. Where does this drive to continue the experiment come from?
And now is the time for the answer.

"When I was in college, Onodera and I were very good friends and classmates. He had the same beliefs as me and often spent time in the library."

"One day, I clearly remember that it was a hot afternoon. A new batch of foreign authors' books had been imported into the university library. Saburo Onodera and I rushed to the library to borrow books excitedly. Inside, I found the book that changed my life."

Mitarai paused, looked into the distance, showing a happy expression of memories, but such a very old man showed such a disgusting expression, Li Ming felt goosebumps all over his body.

"Books That Changed Your Life".

Li Ming took out the two books from his pocket, clapped them casually and made a sound.

Mitarai's thoughts were brought back to reality by the sound of books colliding. He suddenly turned his head and saw the two thick black books. A look of joy immediately appeared on his dry face.

"It's this one, where did you find it? It's this "The Horror Underground at Warren Down"!" Mitarai rushed forward and snatched the two books from Li Ming's hand, "It's been a long time, I'm here Seeing it now, you will feel that the fanatical heart from a few years ago is surging again."

"In a cell, there are desks on either side of that cell."

Although he didn't have a good impression of this guy, but in order to understand the whole story, Li Ming still wrote a message on the white paper, but what he wrote was not in Chinese, it was still in Japanese.

It wasn't because he had forgotten how to write Chinese, but because he was a little uncertain. The doctor in front of him had learned all the uses of Chinese. To be sure, he needed to use his native language to communicate with this guy.

"Ah, in that room, thinking about it like this is expected, because subject H lives there, and I lent him these two books to read, so it's normal to leave them there."

"Then what is this "Revelation of Glaaki" about?" Li Ming frowned, and his desire for knowledge made him continue to ask.

"This book, haven't you read this book? If you haven't read this book, it is really a great regret in life."

Mitarai showed a troubled look on his face, as if he was disgusted with something, in short, there was a complicated expression on his face, but it disappeared quickly.

"But after thinking about it this way, Dr. Onodera should have recruited you here today. If you can read such a heavy book in such a short period of time, I still wonder who you are."

"Since the words have come to this point, and the atmosphere has already been heightened to this point, I will give you a good introduction to this book."

Before Mitarai could finish speaking, Li Ming interrupted him by raising his hand.

"No need, there are some changes outside the laboratory, so it's better to make a long story short, just tell me some of the plots that move you when you read this book again."

"Changes? What happened outside the laboratory? What does it have to do with me? This gentleman, please pay attention to your attitude. I'm staying here well, and I don't have to worry about things happening outside affecting me."

Mitarai, who was interrupted, showed sullen expression, as if he had nothing to do with himself, but when he flipped through the heavy book, the expression on his face became calm again.

To be honest, the old man's appearance is like a mental illness, and it's no wonder that fanatical experimenters or experts in a certain field are all mental illnesses these days.

His face was moody and his speech was somewhat incoherent.

"Okay, since this rare guest doesn't want to hear it, then I will show mercy and promise you, and I will simply say it."

"The book "Apocalypse of Glaaki" impressed me the most. It should be the old ruler Ailuo described in it. His image is a plant-like creature covered with vine tentacles."

Li Ming didn't listen to what the doctor said later, and a secret smile appeared on Li Ming's face when he heard the words "a plant-like creature covered with vines and tentacles".

Sure enough, as I guessed before, this book also contains an introduction to plant-based creatures. The green god is one, and so is Ailuo, so this is what he wants to do the experiment of blending plants and humans. motivation?
"When I was in college, after reading these two books, it had a certain impact on my spirit and beliefs. Looking back now, it should be some instinctive thoughts about the gods in destiny."

"No, you just went crazy after reading that book for a while." Li Ming complained silently.

"When I was in college, I firmly believed that there were these two gods in this world. Just when I wanted to look around for information, Saburo Onodera approached me and asked me to have my own laboratory after graduation. .”

"He said that he has a wonderful idea. He wants to fuse the human body with the machine to achieve the so-called immortality to some extent. Although there are many disadvantages, isn't the sense of technology stronger in the future?"

"This is his exact words, so at that time I had an idea, I assumed a goal, as you know now, I want to combine plants and humans to achieve "immortality". "

If you look at it this way, it turns out that Dr. Onodera, who had always thought he was not a good person, was originally motivated for the development of mankind, and Dr. Mitarai has become a pure villain.

Li Ming smiled self-deprecatingly, and shook his head self-consciously. He subconsciously looked like Jiang Wenli who was not far away in front of him. aggressive.

Li Ming took a few steps back subconsciously, and gave up the battlefield in front of them to the two. Although he was more happy to find Jiang Wenli, this man might not listen to him now.

"So, you understand, I did these experiments not for the fate of you scum, but to pursue a step closer to the gods in fate."

　When reading the book, do you feel that all the previous guesses have been overturned?I want this effect (laughs)
