Hearing this anxious voice, I immediately ran over.
Lin Chun pointed at the ground, unable to speak.
"What happened?" I asked, following his gaze.
From this vantage point, it seemed to be under the bed planks.
On the wall, words were scratched out with fingers.
These crooked characters seemed to be stained with blood, clearly dug out with fingernails.
"Can you understand the words if you see them?" I looked at Lin Chun.
Lin Chun squatted down, carefully wiped away some dust, then pointed at the lines of text and read them to me.
"These people are devils... they are not human! They are committing crimes, and they will be punished by Jesus!"
"The guy next to me cried all night yesterday. I don't know how much pain he went through, but I'm scared, I want to run..."
"It's impossible, we're all going to die. The guy yesterday was talking to me, and today he's dead, they said he contracted the plague, but we don't have a plague at all..."
"It should be my turn tomorrow. I don't know what I'll endure, but I don't want to die. We are soldiers, we are here on a secret mission, why have we fallen to this fate..."
"It hurts so much, my whole body aches. I feel like my body is no longer under my control. Is this a sign of death?"
"Why do I have a tail... I feel so much power... but I'm not myself anymore..."
"We are monsters... no, we are the ultimate of humanity, we are the future of humanity!"
After reading the last sentence, Lin Chun looked back at me, "That's probably all of it..."
"This must have been written by a soldier who was imprisoned here..." I frowned.
These words looked chaotic, even disconnected.
But I still managed to find some useful phrases.
From the current situation, the monster we saw earlier should have been a soldier who transformed.
And, according to the text, it was due to a plague, but that was likely just an excuse.
Later on, the person's mental state clearly deteriorated, which seemed to be the feeling after transforming into a monster.
Although I don't know what they ultimately faced, I can surmise the outcome wouldn't be good.
"It seems this is an evil research facility, and those monsters are the results of their experiments," Lin Chun sat down, his expression complex.
I had heard about experiments before, but using humans for experiments, and creating such monsters, was something we couldn't accept immediately.
Moreover, I didn't know how long those monsters had been living there, or if they still had human thoughts.
But no matter how you looked at it, anyone involved in creating such a facility and conducting these experiments was no good person.
I suddenly remembered the photo I had put in my pocket. Richard was involved in the experiments too. Did that mean he wasn't a good person either?
My mind suddenly felt a bit jumbled.
I had been taken care of by Richard in that mysterious place before, and we had fought against Vici together.
In a way, we were similar people, but now it seemed we were from completely different worlds.
He was involved in such evil experiments, creating those monsters, using humans as a base...
I couldn't accept this at all.
Lin Chun and I sat by the fire, ate a little, and rested.
Resting in a place like this felt unsettling, but at least we were protected from the wind and rain.
Neither of us slept well, and in such a place, we had no idea what time it was outside.
After confirming there was nothing else of value here, we decided to leave.
To be honest, this place left me with too many mysteries.
Even now, I didn't know where those monsters had gone. What methods should be used to fight them?
And what bothered me the most were the different labels on those glass jars.
I could tell that the symbols, though not written words, were different.
Did that mean there were different types of monsters?
At this point, I dared not think further. I pulled Lin Chun along, and we headed outside.
As we passed the storage room, we went back in.
I returned to the largest glass jar and looked at the hole.
That hole had been there for a long time, and the monster inside must have escaped long ago.
Seeing this hole, something suddenly occurred to me.
"No, something's wrong with this situation..." I frowned. "If this glass jar contained a giant creature, it couldn't have escaped through such a small hole!"
