Igor could not immediately accept Feng Bujue's theory, but he understood part of it.
After thinking for a moment, Igor said, "Well, let's assume that I've really become what you said... a super soldier, but this still doesn't explain why those demons didn't take me away."
"Oh, so... you don't know the reason?" Feng Bujue muttered.
"Of course, I don't know," Igor immediately replied.
"Well..." Feng Bujue thought for a few seconds and said, "So, according to your observation, those demons... did they do anything unusual to you?" He paused for half a second and added, "I mean, when you only had one head."
"This..." Igor thought for a moment. "Now that you mention it..." He did notice something. "They... seemed to be unable to see me."
"Unable to see you?" Feng Bujue repeated this key word in an inquiring tone.
"Yes." Igor nodded. "That means... when they looked at me, the focus of their eyes was never on me. It was as if I was the same as the bed frame behind me, all in the background..."
"Oh..." Hearing this, Feng Bujue immediately came up with a theory. "Do you think... this has something to do with 'blood'?"
"Blood?" Igor showed a puzzled expression.
"You said earlier that the researcher who was torn in two by them did not bleed a drop of blood under a strange effect." Feng Bujue continued, "So I'm thinking that the ability of those 'demons' may have some connection with human blood..."
"You mean..." Igor was not stupid. He responded belatedly, "because there is no normal blood in my body, so..."
"So in their eyes..." Feng Bujue continued, "you're like an 'invisible shadow.'"
Igor thought for a moment and laughed dryly. "Ha... haha... if that's the case, it's pretty good."
"It's pretty good." As Feng Bujue spoke, he picked up the syringe and a few empty blood bags used to draw blood and walked to the container of VNO-9 liquid beside the bed.
"Uh..." Igor seemed to have guessed what the other party was going to do. "Mr. Feng, don't tell me you want to inject yourself with that too?"
"No, I don't plan on doing that." Unexpectedly, Brother Jue gave a negative answer. "There is only one experiment log here, which means … you are the only known experimental subject. Without any other data to support it, I can't be sure if the drug will have the same effect on me as it did on you." His tone was objective and cold, as if he was describing something that had nothing to do with him. "Your body can adapt to this medicine, but it doesn't mean that I can too. Besides … even if you're a 'successful example', you've experienced several near-death situations during the experiment. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, I am not prepared to take this risk. "
Igor only understood half of what was going on. However, he could tell that his Brother Jue was not going to inject the drug, so he asked, "Then, are you going to …"
"I just want to bring some with me in case of an emergency." Feng Bujue replied, "In case I'm forced into a corner, I don't mind giving myself a shot of 300 milliliters."
"This … will burst the blood vessels …" Even if Igor had no medical knowledge, he knew that injecting such a large amount of liquid had to be done slowly or in batches.
"You don't have to worry about that." Feng Bujue's calm attitude made him look like a desperado. "I have my ways."
Looking at his nonchalant look, Igor did not know what to say. He simply changed the topic and asked, "By the way, what were you writing in the past few hours?"
"Novels," Feng Bujue replied without hesitation as he busied himself with the task at hand.
"Ah?" Igor's first reaction was, "Did I hear wrongly?"
"I'm a novelist." Feng Bujue knew that Igor did not understand, so he explained.
"Even if you're a novelist and suddenly have a burst of inspiration, you don't have to rush your manuscript in a place like this, right?" Igor continued to ask.
"I'm not writing because I want to." Feng Bujue smiled helplessly. "I'm just influenced by 'something.'"
Then, Brother Jue explained the existence and principle of SCP-1011 to Igor, and tried to explain it in detail in a way that Igor could understand.
Igor did not quite believe this at first, but he thought about it … He had already lost his head today, and he had also seen the devil. What else was there to not believe?
So, he generally accepted that setting …
...
More than ten minutes later, Feng Bujue and Igor were both ready.
The two brought all kinds of things they needed and armed themselves … Then, they walked out of the operating room together.
Brother Jue knew that Igor, an NPC, was a very powerful helper, and the difficulty of "getting this helper" was quite high.
Feng Bujue did not seem to encounter any particularly big obstacles along the way, as if he had completed the script easily and logically, but in fact … if it were someone else playing this game, they might have died more than ten times.
Even if all the settings that could "scare people to disconnect" were ignored, there were at least five visible "death flags."
First of all, laboratory number one …
If the player was delayed for more than twenty minutes in this room for any reason, Barefoot would break in, and the result was undoubtedly death.
If the player attacked the mirror in the room, the "person" in the room behind the mirror would try to lure Barefoot into the room in advance, and then the player would die.
Then, after the player left Lab No.1, if they stopped in front of the statue room and tried to open the door for more than five minutes, then … Barefoot Bro would kill his way out from the other end of the corridor before the player could enter the operating theater. At this time, if the player did not react in time, then … they would die again.
In that situation, there was only one effective "reaction" … That was to escape back to Laboratory Room No. 1, close the door again, and run to the corner furthest away from the door with the lights off. Then, she would squat down and "cover" Igor's body with her body.
Only by strictly carrying out the above actions would the result of "not seeing the player" after Barefoot entered the room would be triggered. Otherwise, you know — death is just one word, and I have said it for the fourth time.
Then, there would be a super obvious instant death event in the operating room … Those who did not hide under the bed in time would die.
Other than that, if the player ran in the direction where Barefoot appeared when he walked toward laboratory number one, it would trigger the death flag.
One last thing … Just as Feng Bujue predicted, if the player purposely triggered SCP-1011 again after knowing its characteristics, they would be judged by the system as AFKing. Then, not only would they die, they would suffer various punishments and be kicked out of the scenario.
In conclusion, Feng Bujue might have looked relaxed, but in reality … he had been walking on a single-plank bridge. However, he never took a wrong step, so from the perspective of others, he did not appear to be in much danger.
As for Igor, this "helper", he should be considered a hidden reward … Normally, the player would either ignore the head or give him a quick death and continue the exploration. After all, there were not many people like Feng Bujue who would move a body and try to "connect" the mission, and the reward for success was obvious to all.
After Igor's body was reconstructed, Brother Jue obtained a summoned creature that was like an "invisible barrier" before the monsters. Furthermore, it was the kind that could last for an unlimited amount of time and had a self-healing ability. It was perfect to have him do the scouting work. Even if he stepped on something like a landmine, there was a high chance that he would survive.
…
After walking out of the operating room, Feng Bujue said to Igor, "Then, according to what we discussed earlier, you will be the scout."
"O … okay." Even though Igor knew that it was more appropriate for him to be the scout, he was not a fearless person like Brother Jue. In this kind of environment, he would more or less be afraid.
"Don't be nervous. Remember … you are very strong now." Feng Bujue knew very well that even though Igor's body had mutated, his heart was still that of a normal person, and he needed more encouragement. "Biologically, you are almost immortal. When you meet the demons, they won't be able to see you anyway. If there are any unexpected situations, I will be behind you. In any case, you can rest assured."
"Hmm …" Igor nodded in response. Then, he took a step forward … and led the way.
In fact, Feng Bujue had already told Igor many similar things when he was packing up the equipment. If not for Brother Jue's patient persuasion, Igor would not have dared to walk out of the operating room …
After this period of interaction, Brother Jue had also noticed that the "fear of supernatural things" was this NPC's biggest weakness. In the upcoming scenario, he had to take this factor into consideration, or else he might be tricked.
Of course, from a tactical point of view, Igor was already a killing machine, so it was normal for him to have some flaws. If the system set Igor's personality to be "a fearless materialist, a determined warrior whose duty is to liberate all mankind", then the following scenario would become "Captain Soviet will take you on a tour of the Nightmare Instance Dungeon".
Clang!
"What … what's that sound?"
Ten seconds later, Igor had just led Brother Jue for about twenty meters when a strange noise came from the corner ahead. It scared him so much that he stopped immediately.
"It sounds like …" Feng Bujue said calmly. "The sound of some kind of gate?"
He was just guessing, but … he was right.
Ten seconds later, the two came to the corner. They poked their heads out and saw that the corridor in front of them had been sealed by a metal gate from the top and bottom.
"This … is a dead end?" Igor turned his head and asked Brother Jue.
"So, that's how it is …" Feng Bujue mumbled to himself as he turned to leave.
"Eh? What do you mean by that? What do you know? "Igor hurriedly followed him back.
At this moment, Brother Jue understood two things. First, when Barefoot was walking toward Laboratory Room No. 1, if he had chosen to escape in this direction, then the sound of the iron gate closing would have led Barefoot back. At that time, the player whose path was sealed would have been blocked by Barefoot in the corridor.
As for the second thing …
"There should be a pressure sensor here," Feng Bujue said as he returned to the place where he heard the "clang" sound and looked down at the ground.
"What … device?" Igor was obviously a person with limited literacy, so he did not understand some of the words.
"To put it simply, it's the kind of mechanism that will be triggered after you step on it," Feng Bujue said as he tried to find the pressure sensor point.
"Oh …" Igor responded, then lowered his head and helped Brother Jue step on the ground.
However, the two of them busied themselves for a long time, but it was still in vain.
"Hmm …" Feng Bujue stopped and thought about it again. "It's not the kind of mechanism that can be activated by stepping on it again …" At this time, he thought of Barefoot again. "Speaking of which … when the monster came and went, I didn't hear the sound of the gate closing … The difference between us and him is …"
Thinking about that, an idea flashed through Brother Jue's mind.
"Oh … Okay." After thinking of the answer, he laughed and walked three or four meters in the direction of the operating room. Then, he said to Igor, "Igor, come here for a moment."
"Huh?" Igor was stunned for a moment and walked toward Brother Jue. "What? You found the location of the mechanism? "
"Yes, I found it." Before Feng Bujue finished speaking, he heard a "clang" sound. A slower, continuous sound came from the corner.
"Eh? It's true. "When Igor heard it, he was ready to turn around, but …
Clang —
Just as he turned around and took two steps, he heard the sound of the gate closing again.
"D * mn it … Is there more than one switch?" Igor looked down at the soles of his feet.
"No, there's only one." Feng Bujue shook his head. "From where you are now, the whole corridor in front of you … is a complete 'pressure-sensitive zone.'"
"Huh?" Igor used a modal particle to show that he did not understand.
"Come back to my position first," Feng Bujue said.
Igor shrugged and walked back. When he walked to Brother Jue's side, the sound of the gate slowly opening was heard again.
"Let's put it this way …" Feng Bujue raised his finger and pointed to the front. He turned to Igor and said, "When an object of a certain weight presses on any part of the corridor in front, the gate will close."
