Specimen 77

12

    77 stepped back a little, and could clearly see the wound on 76's lips where his own teeth knocked because of his unfamiliar movements.

    77 thinks that love is pain, punishment, cages, and sugar.

    He lowered his head slightly. Although raised in captivity in the laboratory, 77's teeth have not degenerated because they don't need to hunt. They are still sharp and can easily pierce the soft skin. Red drops of blood oozed from 76's lips and flowed down his chin.

    "76..."

    There was a trace of confusion in 77's eyes, and he said, "I love you just like I loved 'mother' before." He

    explained to 76 what he saw from "mother" and his "love" understand. He is convinced that love is pain and being demanded... After being pierced by a needle point into the skin to draw blood, he will still obey the hand in the palm of "mother".

    Then he will reward obedience with praise, petting, and candy.

    And only after experiencing the pain, can you get more love from "mother".

    77 has always believed that pain is the companion of love.

    He stretched out his hand, and carefully touched the corner of 76's mouth with fingers that could easily tear apart flesh, and gently wiped away the blood beside the wound with his fingertips.

    77 looked at the little eye-catching wound, which was the pain he gave 76.

    "But I don't like to see you in pain."

    "Mom" looked extremely weak when facing the adult experimental subject. When taking the subjects out of the third area, hoping they are harmless, always make them fall asleep. 

     77 doesn't like pain, but he also doesn't like being unconscious after being stunned by drugs, so after realizing this, many subjects have learned to pretend to be unconscious when they smell the coma gas.  

     77 still remembers the pain every time he was pushed onto the laboratory bench.

     He looked at 76, his eyes full of doubts, and he repeated in a low voice: "I love you very much like 'Mom'."

    "But I want you to never feel pain."

    ——

    "77?" No. 35 was already approaching the back door of the third district, she looked back at 76 and 77 who were still in the middle of the corridor, and urged, "Why are you still there?"

    "Come here right away." 77 temporarily buried the unreasonable question in his heart. They shut it back down again.

    77 and 76 walked towards the door, and the experimental subjects next to them stepped back a little to make room for them.

    "Do you still remember how 'Mom' and the others opened the door?"

     No. 33 propped up the upper half of her body, her tone filled with uncontrollable excitement.

     After so many jailbreak attempts, this is the first time it has gone this long without being detected. 

      Although didn't hold out much hope for opening the gate at first. After arriving at the door, 33 flicked his tail and couldn't help thinking, but what if he could really go out today?  

     "Today is 125786, Y089."  

     76 spoke first, and after he finished speaking, he frowned. Half a minute later, a human voice sounded similar to the tone of researcher Y089, but emphasized weirdness: "12586, Y089."

     77 He also opened his mouth and repeated it several times. At the beginning, he could clearly hear an inhuman accent. But as the pronunciation was corrected over and over again, after several times, the ups and downs, tone and pauses of the human voice gradually tended to be consistent with researcher Y089.     77 Sensing zone near the door.  

    The mechanical voice sounded quickly: "Please enter the password."

       "125786."

       "The password is correct."

      The mechanical voice continued smoothly: "Please enter the job number." 

     "Y089."

     "The job number is correct, please perform iris verification. "

    The mechanical sound paused for a few seconds, and the  red light began to flash again: "Di—the iris verification failed, please verify again." There was no meaning of the words mentioned in front of them. Ten seconds later, the iris verification failed prompt sounded again.

    At the same time as the notification that the verification failed for the third time sounded, the lights in the corridor in the third area were turned on at the same instant, accompanied by the sound of an alarm that almost resounded throughout the laboratory.

    Several experimental subjects covered their ears subconsciously, trying to block out the siren sounds one after another.

    "Mom found out..." 35 was still a little unwilling, and waved a vine and slammed it hard on the gate, but it only made the alarm sound more harsh.

    The sound of the siren directly woke up all the researchers who were asleep or not, and the warning that the verification of the gate of the third area failed was repeatedly repeated in the entire laboratory.

    Soon someone went to the monitoring room and saw dozens of experimental subjects in the corridor of the third district, as well as broken glass all over the floor.

    The gas that can make the experimental subject sleepy is released from the ceiling of the third area, smelling the familiar smell, 77 knows that he should "fall asleep" again.

    He reluctantly entangled 76's tail, unwilling to let go.

    76 touched the tip of his tail, opened his mouth when 77 looked over, and replied to the topic that was interrupted by 35 just now: "But I don't hate the pain you bring." 77 subconsciously wrapped 76's tail even

    tighter , he still doesn't want to go back to the glass room that separates himself from 76.

    But he knew it was not time to make a desperate attempt to break through the gate.

    And "mother" likes obedient children.

    Before closing his eyes, 77 glanced at his empty glass room. The glass room prepared for them by the laboratory is not too small, at least most of the time, the scope of their daily activities is still sufficient.

    But even if they are used to living in a cage, they still feel that the space in the cage is small/crazy at some point, and they are not free enough.
