【Even though we wanted to complete the experiment, the last two test subjects could not be successfully returned to their cells.】

【One of them fell asleep after the surgery, which I think may have been due to the sedative finally taking effect, or perhaps because he hadn't been exposed to ts gas for a long time. In any case, he died quickly after falling asleep, as if sleep had deprived him of his previous abnormal physical functions.】

【The only remaining test subject became extremely agitated after learning of his companion's death, and went mad again. He seized a guard's gun, killed two of my colleagues, and threatened that we had to immediately send him back to that room and release the gas again.】

【At this time, Dr. Andrei ambushed the test subject from behind and held a gun to the back of his head, asking, "What exactly are you?"】

Feng Bujue had heard the next part of the recording before; the words were almost identical to those described by the monster that Igor had initially killed.

The rest of the document consisted of some photos and autopsy records. Brother Jue scanned them, but didn't find anything of value.

The above is basically the record of the "First Sleep Experiment."

Although there were some differences in the details and the perspective of the narration, overall it was not much different from the "Soviet Sleep Experiment" story that Feng Bujue knew.

One noteworthy point is... this record mentioned something called "ts gas." This was the first time Brother Jue had seen this term. In all the versions of the story he knew before, it was only mentioned as "a gas that can keep people excited," but no version ever explicitly said what it was. However, in this Thriller Paradise script, the system gave it a specific name.

Also, near the end of the record, "Dr. Andrei" was mentioned. This person's name was the same as the one who ran away in the opening CG from the first-person perspective. Brother Jue believed... there was a high probability they were the same person.

Judging from the plot of the CG and the information known so far... something must have happened to Dr. Andrei during the subsequent two experiments.

"Nikolai," Feng Bujue said to Barefoot as he opened the third file, "do you know a Dr. Andrei?"

On the way here, Brother Jue had already confirmed Barefoot's name. This guy's real name was Nikolai.

"Dr. Andrei?" Nikolai's expression changed noticeably when he heard the name. "Hmph... what? See anything interesting in the records?"

Feng Bujue replied unhurriedly, "If you dare answer my question with a question again, I'll throw you into the sewage pipe."

Nikolai pouted and reluctantly confessed, "Dr. Andrei... is the Whisperer." He paused. "He and I are also survivors of the second experimental accident."

"Oh..." Feng Bujue responded, and then began to browse the third file—namely, the "Second Sleep Experiment."

【The failure of the last experiment and the panic it caused have not subsided, but at the strong insistence of Dr. Andrei, we started the second experiment.】

【The experimental specimens and methods used in this experiment will be adjusted in order to obtain more diverse data.】

【We selected fifteen death row inmates, aged thirty to sixty, all male, and conducted the experiment in groups.】

【The first group had five people, the same number as in the first experiment; the second group had three people; the third and fourth groups had two people each; the remaining three people were kept in separate cells, designated as groups five, six, and seven.】

【The supplies provided in the cells remained the same: enough food for one month, some books, tap water, a toilet, and a bed.】

【Based on the experience of the last time, the cells selected for this experiment were all equipped with high porthole windows to prevent the test subjects from covering them.】

【The prisoners were told that if they could stay awake for thirty days, they would be spared the death penalty and receive a considerable reward.】

【The experiment begins, ts gas is released.】

【For the first five days, everything was normal. The prisoners this time were generally less educated and seemed more wary of each other. Almost no one read books, and no one was willing to talk.】

【On the eighth day, a brawl broke out in group one. Although we immediately intervened to stop it, one prisoner died on the spot, and the other four suffered injuries of varying degrees, but not to the point where surgical treatment was needed.】

【On the ninth day, the test subject in group seven committed suicide. He used all his strength to slam into a corner of the metal bed frame, shattering his skull on the spot, leaving no time for rescue.】

【On the tenth day, the three members of group two gathered under the porthole window, silently staring upwards. Although the room was equipped with one-way glass, the observers described, "Their eyes were fixed on us, and they followed our movements, as if they could see through the glass."】

【On the eleventh day, the test subject in group six hid under the bed with his head in his hands, constantly repeating the short phrase "Don't come over" in a pleading tone. At the same time, the members of group one had a second brawl. This time we did not go in to stop it, because everything happened too fast. By the time the observers realized it, the two survivors had already begun to devour the corpses of the two dead men.】

【On the twelfth day, the members of groups three, four, and five, whose conditions were relatively stable, all stopped eating and began to paint on the walls with excrement in unison. The content they drew seemed to be some kind of regular pattern with special textual markings. This part has been handed over to the theology and linguistics departments for research.】

Attached below this record were several photos, undoubtedly of those experimental subjects "painting the walls with feces."

"Hmm... it really is of the Solomon Wang school." Feng Bujue stared at the "shit material" for a few seconds, and actually understood the meaning of one of the patterns. "The combination of characters on this one... is to summon something from the 'Other Shore,' right?"

【On the fifteenth day, the remaining two members of group one began to throw excrement at the porthole window, but because the porthole window was designed to be tilted downwards, their actions were of little effect.】

【On the seventeenth day, the test subject in group six attempted to commit suicide by hitting the wall. After we entered the room and subdued him, he ran out of strength during the struggle and died quickly, showing a very grateful and relieved expression before his death.】

Up to this point, it can be seen that this record and the record of the "First Sleep Experiment" were both written by the same person, and the typewriter used was also the same one.

However... from the next paragraph onwards, the recorder changed. This can be seen from the tone of the narration, the wording, and the way the sentences were constructed.

Feng Bujue was a writer after all, so he was very confident in his presumptions in this regard.

【On the twentieth day, one of the test subjects in group two said a sentence into the microphone: "It's time."】

【After the test subject in group two said this, abnormalities occurred in all the cells. The two test subjects in group one broke open the metal door with great force and escaped from the cell; the test subjects in groups three, four, and five somehow created an unknown shielding material on the surface of the porthole window, and their subsequent actions are unknown. The three test subjects in group two actually jumped up directly from the room, broke through the bulletproof porthole window, and invaded the observation room. The last sounds we heard on the intercom were screams and bizarre tearing sounds, and then communication was interrupted.】

【After consulting with superiors, we sealed off the entire experimental area and waited for reinforcements.】

【Six hours later, a cleanup force armed with flamethrowers began to purge the area. At this time, all the test subjects we encountered had become creatures clearly different from humans.】

Attached to this description were several more photos. Although the photos were only of several charred corpses, it could be seen that the owners of those corpses had already become mutated beings like Barefoot and his kind.

【We found five survivors: Dr. Andrei, Dr. Josh, researcher Nikolai, and two guards—Alexander and Yakov.】

【They were all attacked by the test subjects, but were not killed. According to Dr. Andrei, the test subjects seemed to want to take them to complete some kind of ritual, but were interrupted.】

【For the processing plan and interrogation records of these five people, see document-6387.】

After this paragraph was an appendix; the appendix was still full of all kinds of frightening photos, and also wrote down a lot of miscellaneous matters, such as "list of all personnel killed in action" and so on. As for these... Feng Bujue read them all without missing a word.

Up to this point, the record of the second experiment also came to an end. In Brother Jue's mind, the entire process of the incident was basically outlined.

"Nikolai," two seconds later, Feng Bujue looked at Nikolai again, "The third experiment was conducted on you five 'survivors of the second experimental accident,' right?"

"That's right," Nikolai replied. "I don't know why, but those managing bureaucrats stubbornly believed that we had been 'infected' in some way. They didn't dare let us go back to work, but they felt it was a pity to kill us, so..." He didn't finish his words, but the meaning was clear.

"Hmm..." Brother Jue pondered for a moment, and with a thoughtful expression, picked up the fourth file.

However, at this moment!

Bang, bang, bang, bang...

A very obvious, heavy sound of footsteps came from the corridor outside.

"Hehe... hahaha... it seems I'm lucky..." Almost the moment he heard the footsteps, Nikolai couldn't help but laugh.

"Shut up!" Igor lowered his voice and shouted at the head in his hand, "Or I'll..."

"Whatever..." Nikolai interrupted, "If it were anyone else, I might obediently listen to you, but... the one who's coming is the Whisperer, you're dead! Hahahahaha..."

He burst into laughter, and at this volume, the one outside had definitely heard it.

"Give me the head, get away from the door." Seeing this, Feng Bujue immediately stuffed the remaining files he hadn't read into his arms, stood up, and said to Igor.

Igor followed Brother Jue's lead and basically didn't question the latter's orders, so he quickly did so.

Bang, bang, bang... the footsteps came quickly, and in the blink of an eye they were at the door, and unsurprisingly stopped.

The next scene was a bit terrifying.

A huge hand reached in from outside the door, grabbed the edge of the door, and then...

Squeak—whoosh—clang!

That big hand tore the entire metal door off the door frame like tearing open the wrapping paper on a small box of yogurt, and threw it into the corridor with a flick of the hand.

Immediately afterwards, a monster about two and a half meters tall and weighing at least three hundred kilograms appeared in Feng Bujue and Igor's eyes.

Standing at this distance, it could be clearly seen... every piece of flesh on Dr. Andrei's body had swelled as if it were about to burst open, but there was not a single trace of blood color under his skin, giving a visual impression of a "dried pomegranate."

Overall... the Whisperer was a deformed, giant humanoid monster. Judging from his appearance alone, his combat power was much stronger than that of a dried-corpse-like guy like Barefoot.

"Are there any fish that slipped through the net..." Andrei's line of sight also couldn't see Igor, so after tearing open the door, he was staring at Brother Jue while speaking.

"Be careful! There's still someone in this room..." Nikolai shouted loudly the moment he saw Andrei, trying to remind him of Igor's existence.

Unfortunately...

Sizzle—

A scalpel had already pierced into his brainstem as he uttered the word "careful."

Nikolai didn't finish his sentence and had already died.

"Dr. Andrei..." Feng Bujue very neatly stabbed the Barefoot guy, who was basically no longer of any use, to death, and said to the monster at the door without changing his expression, "I think we should talk."

Brother Jue's adaptability was extremely strong. As the saying goes, plans can't keep up with changes, but Feng Bujue was a person who could constantly make new plans as the situation developed.

The moment he saw Dr. Andrei, Feng Bujue immediately abandoned his plan to have Igor attack the monster; an instant judgment told Brother Jue... if he fought Andrei in this place, he and Igor would both die.

Therefore, Feng Bujue changed his strategy and quickly dealt with Nikolai to prevent this guy from talking nonsense.

At the same time, he immediately communicated with the Andrei in front of him to test the other party's reaction.

"Talk?" Andrei responded suspiciously, standing at the door and looking at Brother Jue. "Talk about what?"

Obviously, the doctor's AI was also very high. He stood there without entering the room, because he clearly heard Nikolai shouting half a sentence just now, "There's still someone in this room..." Although he didn't hear the whole sentence, judging from the existing content, Nikolai was likely trying to tell him that there was something in this room that was detrimental to him.

On the other hand, Feng Bujue was even more cunning... while talking to Andrei, he threw away the head in his hand and turned slightly sideways... using a "wiping blood on his clothes" action as cover, he gave Igor a hand gesture, signaling him not to act rashly and to maintain his "invisible" state.
