Just how many things are buried under this town? Firstly there was this pyramid with the UFO and now this strange laboratory just above the pyramid.
I guess they were the first to discover this area here. Now that I think about it in the ship's log this alien made a reference to an evolution material. Maybe this is my chance to save Hoyo? I have to find it.
I started looking around the laboratory in the hope of finding something useful.
The others were also fascinated by that laboratory as they get to see things they never thought that existed. Like for example a lab rat with two heads, a lot of chemicals and strange machines.
Although I wasn't interested in those, I must say that I too was fascinated by this place.
As I was searching for this evolution material I came across some papers which contained notes from some weird experiments.
They had to do about a research to control people's minds. There were plans for a helmet that can send signals to the brain to stimulate it so that the person when hears a specific word has no other option but to obey.
This helmet reminds me of the dive gear. Aah, those years when everything was simple. I miss that life.
"Hey, those aren't the plans for the Axius gear?" I heard Yuuki asking from behind me.
"The what?"
"Oh, right you were gone. Okay, so, the game we said that made us like this came with a new full dive gear because the other one was too old. These plans are similar to Axius gear."
"Wait, what if it is the same?"
"Eh?"
I immediately left from there and started searching for a computer. I searched everywhere and the only computer I could find was an archaic one. Why do they always have to be that old? We are in the 2133 we are supposed to have high tech technology, why do they still use old computers like this one?
[That's because those computers are safe from hackers as they can't connect to the network.]
(Ooh, yeah, that makes sense.)
[Also that means that it contains important documents.]
(Hoho, let's see what secrets it holds.)
I moved closer to the computer and opened it. It was so old that it took five minutes to open.
Once the screen opened I was face to face with a sight that I never thought I would see in my life.
The screen wasn't showing the normal starting screen but instead it was showing a startup screen that existed in computers in the 1990s.
Thankfully I had learnt how to operate this operating system thanks to my dad who insit on my learning this operating system. I didn't think that it would be useful but it seems I was wrong.
I started typing and searching everything that was inside that computer and I finally found out what I was searching for. The Axius gear blueprints. That full dive gear was indeed created by the same man who studied human mind control.
But how did things end up like that? Did he miscalculate somewhere in the program? Or something else happened? If I want to find out the truth I have to keep searching. And that's what I did.
Until I came across a video named "Program Axius global release".
I knew that the answers that I wanted would be in there so I pressed it.
The video opened and showed in the beginning a middle aged man in a lab robe checking if the camera was working properly.
"Ahem, ahem, okay this works. Today is the day that finally after all these years I'll manage to initiate my plan. I'll manage to control the people and make a new world without violence, poverty. I'll make the ideal world where everyone will be happy."
"Those ideas. Why does everyone have to think like they are the villain from a movie?"
The video suddenly glitched but continued shortly after.
"I…I made a mistake in my calculations, I didn't think that one small variable would have these consequences. I messed up, and with that my whole plan for world peace came to an end. Not only I didn't achieve world peace but instead I achieved the exact opposite, chaos."
"Yep, that's true buddy." I replied to the recording without of course waiting for an answer.
The video glitched once again and continued.
"Maybe I made a mistake but if we manage to turn those zombies into intelligent beings we could get rid of any known disease. We will never get sick again or even die. L-look, behind me is the first test subject…"
My eyes immediately focused on the person who was tied up in a chair. I felt anger flowing inside me the moment I saw who that person was. Hoyo…
"…We found something that is called evolution material inside a spaceship. We think that can turn zombies into intelligent beings without having them losing their abilities. It's time for us to find out."
"Test number 1 starts now. Well we injected the evolution material into the body of the subject 666. For now it seems that it's still alive which is a good thing, the other subjects didn't even make it this far."
Suddenly while watching the video I heard Hoyo's voice saying "Shinji?" I must confess that upon hearing that a smile appeared on my face. She had grown a lot since the last time I saw her. Maybe that's because of the first virus.
But that smile wouldn't last long.
"Oh, she spoke. That's amazing, quickly get her into the machine. We have to check our theory."
The scenes that I saw at that time shouldn't see the light of day again.
They got Hoyo out of the chair and teared apart her clothes leaving her naked. Then they put her inside that strange machine I had seen before, when I entered. Now that I took a bett look at it, it seemed like those old torture devices where they tie your hands and feet with chains and pull them till your limbs are cut off from the rest if your body.
And for Hoyo's bad luck it was exactly that. They started pulling the chain her left arm was tied with. Her screaming echoed around the room but that guy who had instructed this was enjoying the show, I could see it in his eyes that he was enjoying what he was seeing in grot if him.
In the other hand Hoyo was screaming continuously from the pain while tears had begt to glow from her eyes. Until… they finally cut her arm off.
After that they placed it next to the wound and it started merging with the reat of the body, like what exactly was happening to me.
After Hoyo couldn't scream anymore because whenever she tried to she was coughing blood the man said "Good, first teat successful, now let's move to the innards".
I saw him getting a knife from the bench behind him and moving closer to Hoyo. With tears in her eyes she begged him to stop whispering as she couldn't speak normally anymore.
But this guy didn't even listen to her. He just went and stabbed her without second thought and started slashing her.
I couldn't stand that anymore thus I punched the computer with all my strength and my punch penetrated trough the monitor.
I started having a long lost feeling, a feeling that I would like to keep locked inside of me. But right now I didn't wanted to suppress it anymore, it wasn't necessary anymore.
Aaah, I want to torture someone so badly. And I already have find out who that person will be. I'll reap his flesh off his skin, hoho, I have so many tortures that I want to try. We will have so much fun together, won't we?
Before I even noticed it everyone had surround me and was keeping me from moving.
"Shinji, you need to calm down, come to your senses." Yuuki yelled.
"Shinji? Who's Shinji? I'm Eve." I said with a evil laugh.
I pushed everyone back with ease. But one person would stand in my way.
{Shinji, I'll say it only once. Calm down.}
"Ha, hahaha, I don't care who will stand im my way, whoever it is I'll kill them."
"Even if it's me?" Miko said from behind me.
"Darling, you know that I can't kill you, that's why I'll just knock you down." I said and pushed Miko against the wall making her fall unconscious.
"Now then, will you also stand in my way or you cherish your life?"
{I have already lived for lots of years. I'm not afraid to die. But you don't need to worry, you won't be able to kill me.}
"You're overestimating yourself. But hey, that's one person less to feed later."
{Kiddo, don't force me to do it.}
"Don't worry, I'll give you a quick death. If you don't resist."
