The Black Knight placed the drawing in the drawer of the table before retreating.
Following that, another four Basilisk patterns were printed out. Among them were "Reaper", "Tremor", "Filth", and "Flame".
These five patterns were placed separately in the table of the isolation room. There was one pattern in each drawer.
"X, we can begin the experiment."
Inside the laboratory, Chen Chen stood outside the isolation room with his arms crossed, silently observing the interior of the observation window.
"Roger, dispatching experimental personnel. Delta-level experimental personnel serial number'D 00189 'has arrived at the experimental site."
Following the cold, robotic female voice of X-111 (the artificial intelligence of the Spire Experimental Base, one of the clones of Little X), the side entrance of the isolation room opened with a bang. A black man in his thirties walked in with a puzzled look on his face.
As a Delta-level experimental personnel of God's Forbidden Zone, the black man was also wearing a Delta-level research uniform. It was a one-piece suit made of special fibers that kept the wearer warm and absorbed sweat. It was also extremely tough.
The uniform was gray in color with horizontal white stripes on it. There was a large "D" on the chest area of the uniform.
Around the man's neck was a metal ring made of tungsten alloy. The ring was less than two centimeters wide but its toughness and hardness were several times greater than that of titanium alloy.
The ring was wrapped in a layer of velvet that allowed the experimental personnel to move around without feeling uncomfortable.
This metal ring was the identification of a Delta-level experimental personnel. There was a liquid crystal display on the ring that displayed the experimental personnel's serial number. There was also a built-in electric shock device and anesthesia device inside the ring. If the experimental personnel did not obey orders, the electric shock device could force them to submit.
The anesthesia device could easily subdue the experimental personnel without harming them.
The metal ring was also equipped with a positioning system. Even if the experimental personnel were to get lost in the Spire laboratory, they could be easily found.
In addition, the metal ring was equipped with a final self-destruct mechanism. If the metal ring was damaged, be it by heat, water cutting, or any other violent means, it would cause the metal ring to self-destruct. At the same time, it would also kill the experimental personnel wearing the metal ring.
At this time, the Ovambo man looked around curiously. Although he looked a little uneasy, he did not panic. After all, these people had been provided with good food and drinks during this period. Apart from the regular physical examination, they were also provided with a gym for them to use.
Other than the lack of women and freedom, this place was like heaven compared to the outside world.
At this time, the man finally locked his eyes on the observation window in Chen Chen's direction.
This was not the first time he had been interrogated. He walked to the observation window and gently touched it. From his point of view, he could only see a transparent mirror but could not see Chen Chen behind the mirror.
"Excuse me, what department is this? Am I going to be interrogated here?"
After looking at the mirror for a while, the black man suddenly spoke.
"No, because our company has signed a contract with the Namibian government for the 'Felon Reuse Act', so you're now in a group of experimental projects."
Chen Chen pressed the speak button and transmitted his voice into the isolation room through the microphone. "It's the contract you signed before. If you can cooperate with our experiment, you have a chance to receive a reduced sentence."
Hearing that, the man nodded skeptically. He moved to the only table in the isolation room. "Then, sir, how should I cooperate with you?"
"There's a picture in the rightmost drawer of yours. I need you to take it out."
Chen Chen reminded, "Note that the picture is upside down. When you pick it up, you must keep it in its original state and don't peek. Then, I'll tell you what to do next."
"Alright."
The man shrugged, opened the drawer casually, and placed the picture upside down on the table. Then, he immediately raised his hands. "Sir, I'm done."
"Well done."
Chen Chen was satisfied. "Next, answer a few questions for me. First question: No. 189, does your family have a genetic history of epilepsy or mental illness?"
"No."
"Have you ever had a history of brain trauma or craniotomy?"
"No."
"Do you have any heart, liver, or other kidney diseases?"
"None of those."
The man frowned and spread his hands. "I swear, my body is very healthy, there are no latent diseases!"
"Very well. Next, please turn over the paper on the table."
When the man heard this, he unfolded the paper impatiently and subconsciously looked at the paper.
But just by looking at it, his pupils rapidly dilated. It was as if a Body Freezing Spell had been cast on him, causing him to become motionless.
"No. 189?"
Chen Chen asked, "Can you hear what I'm saying?"
However, there was no response from the man. His head slowly drooped down and then, because he had lost his balance, he fell face up on the cold floor.
"His pulse has stopped."
Little X's voice came. At the same time, a Black Knight walked into the isolation room and squatted down to check the man's breathing. He only felt a wisp of air flowing out of the man's nasal cavity and then fell into eternal stillness.
This Ovambo man could only breathe out, there was no more air coming in.
"He's dead."
After a series of examinations, Little X's voice came again. "No. D 00189's brain waves have stopped moving. With the loss of brain function, his heart and lungs have completely stopped functioning. Even if we rescue him now, he can only be maintained in a vegetative state, which is medically defined as dead."
"It seems that there's nothing wrong with the Basilisk pattern itself."
Chen Chen nodded. "In that case, let's start the next experiment. This time, prepare the extinguishing device, let's try the 'flame'..."
With that, the Black Knights disposed of the body of the first Delta-level subject and then let in the second subject.
Chen Chen conducted an experiment with each pattern.
The results were very much in line with expectations. After the subject saw the pattern called "flame", the subject's body immediately began to catch fire. Moreover, Chen Chen found that the essence of this fire started from the body. Even if the fire was quickly extinguished, it would not save the subject's life at all.
The "Tremor" pattern was also very standard. The subject who saw the Tremor pattern seemed to be electrocuted. Their entire body trembled rapidly and at the same time, they would scream violently.
The frequency of this trembling was so high that the subject even began to show signs of dehydration. Even if they were fixed to a stretcher or injected with anesthetics, this trembling could not be stopped. This trembling was completely a physiological symptom. In the end, the subject would die due to the exhaustion of the energy in their body.
The subjects who saw the "Reaper" pattern would not show any symptoms at first. It was not until Chen Chen asked them what they had seen that the subject realized what was going on. Following that, they would suffer the same symptoms as the "Eye" and die instantly.
The strangest of them all was the pattern named 'Filth'.
