Chapter 132: It can't be fake medicine, can it?
"Report to the supervisor, Volunteer number one is exhibiting an abnormal reaction."
"Oh? So fast."
Less than an hour later, Wesker received a report from the researcher and turned his attention to the first small room. He saw that the volunteer in the first room seemed a little unsteady on his feet, leaning against the wall, and his face was slightly pale.
The air conditioning was on indoors, so the temperature should have been quite low. All the staff were wearing thick protective suits, but the first volunteer took off his shirt at some point, leaving him in only his underwear. In the end, he got so hot that he didn't even want his underwear anymore and just threw it off.
Wesker attempted to communicate with the man through a megaphone.
"Are you alright, volunteer?"
"How are you feeling now? Is there anything that's bothering you?"
"Wesker asked."
The first volunteer's lips moved as if he wanted to speak, but the next second he suddenly vomited a lot of blood.
"vomit!!!"
Blood instantly sprayed all over the glass.
Accompanied by the painful screams of Volunteer Number One:
"I'm not doing it anymore! I'm not doing it anymore!!"
"I don't want this money, let me go, help me!!"
His breathing grew weaker and weaker, and blood flowed from his ears, nose and eyes. He soon collapsed to the ground and lay motionless. Wesker watched this scene and silently noted the man's symptoms.
"Volunteer number one, time 59 minutes and 16 seconds."
"Abnormal reactions, brain unit damage, neurological disorders, hallucinations, hypothermia..."
Record complete.
At this moment, Zhao Dahai in the next room had already heard the commotion.
"What happened?"
"What's going on outside? Is your friend alright? He doesn't sound well. Is your medication illegal or against regulations?"
Why aren't you saying anything!
Zhao Dahai anxiously patted the glass.
The glass was specially reinforced so that even bullets couldn't penetrate it, and he couldn't budge it at all. He could only make "bang" sounds as it struck the glass, and the only response he received was deathly silence.
After a few minutes.
Zhao Dahai suddenly heard a voice.
It was someone very familiar calling him. He was certain he had heard it somewhere before. When he heard it, he felt very reassured and confident, and instinctively looked in the direction from which the voice came.
That was a man's seductive voice.
"You've been fooled again, Zhao Dahai."
"How many times have you been scammed in your life? When you were eleven, you transferred 100 yuan to someone online to find a small website, and they ran away with the money."
"Later, you downloaded a cheat program to play games. The cheat program came with a virus, which locked your computer. You thought that you could unlock it by transferring 500 yuan to someone, but after you transferred the money, it disappeared without a trace."
"Later, you met your girlfriend, but while you two were dating, your girlfriend was still in contact with her white moonlight, her first love, and her boss. You had barely left before he showed up."
"You've been fooled again."
Zhao Dahai looked terrified. "Who are you?"
How do you know all this?
He stared at the dark figure that had appeared in the corner. The figure stood out clearly in the clean, white room, but his head felt hot, and he could feel the heat on his forehead. He wasn't sure if it was a hallucination caused by the drugs or some other visual phenomenon.
But he did hear the shadowy figure speaking.
The shadowy figure knew him very well, as if it had lived beside him since childhood.
"Zhao Dahai, I am your father. Don't you remember me?"
"After your mother and I were buried, a giant centipede lived on our grave, scratching our heads until they were really itchy. When you get out, you must kill that centipede."
"But now you've been scammed. This drug testing site is a fraud. If this continues, you'll get your kidneys kicked."
……
Father?
Zhao Dahai was momentarily dazed. His father had passed away many years ago, but as the shadowy figure spoke, he seemed to connect the voice with the kind and benevolent voice of his father in his mind.
"Dad, they won't lie to me. This is a legitimate company."
"Idiot, you think I'd give you 100,000 for just one trial of the drug? Do you believe in free lunches?" the shadowy figure coaxed. "Have you forgotten what I taught you before?"
Zhao Dahai shook his head in pain.
His head felt throbbing painfully, like he had a fever.
Besides the shadowy figure's voice, he also heard other random sounds, as if the researchers outside were anxiously inquiring about his condition. But he was acting strangely at the moment, subconsciously ignoring the sounds outside and only talking to the shadowy figure.
"Silly child, listen to me."
"I've found a way back to the human world."
"This requires a small sacrifice from you. I hope to return to the human world using your body. We will share a body for a short period of time. Would you be willing to help Daddy this once?"
"Now, relax, don't think, surrender your body to your subconscious, let your subconscious guide your actions... I will help you leave this place, leave this den of liars..."
That voice bewitched Zhao Dahai.
Outside the room.
Wesker noticed that Zhao Dahai was incoherent, even talking to an empty corner of the wall, and he started writing down his state.
"Volunteer number two exhibited an abnormal reaction."
"The drug is trying to take over his body."
"Is it going to succeed?"
Even Wesker himself wasn't sure if it would succeed; the uncertainty was too great. He could only watch Zhao Dahai closely. If Zhao Dahai behaved himself and listened to him, perhaps they could make significant progress this time.
And so, in Wesker's hopeful eyes...
Zhao Dahai shook his head. "Dad, you're wrong. They're not scammers. If I persist for 24 hours, they really will pay me."
"I found the job through a legitimate platform. I'm short of money. I couldn't let you enjoy life before, and I won't let that happen again."
"When I have money, I will hire someone to catch that giant centipede on your grave, and I will burn lots and lots of paper money for you so that you will never have to worry about food and drink in the afterlife, and you will never be bullied again."
"I need to use this money to get married and continue your family line, I..."
Zhao Dahai muttered to himself, rejecting the shadowy figure's words.
Sombra: ...
at the same time.
Zhang Ze, who lived next door, heard the noise.
"He's talking to someone he can't see."
"Tsk, I see, I get it now."
"This potion is probably a substance from the world behind the gate. They inject it into living people so that the monsters from the world behind the gate can take over their bodies."
"Wang Shenglong and Wang Haiming from Haiming Apartment, and even those people from the Ghost School, have all encountered this situation before."
Volunteer number one died too quickly.
As a result, Zhang Ze didn't have time to analyze any useful information.
Zhao Dahai did give him an opportunity, and Zhang Ze seized it.
"But... I also injected the drug, so why didn't any monsters from behind the door bother me?"
"Could it be that I was injected with fake medicine?"
