Bourbon and Scotland, who have not become hopeless idiots, are now following three young detectives.
No matter how many thoughts he had in his mind, his face remained calm and expressionless.
The floor where the Rose Room is located is already high enough, so you only need to walk up a few more floors to reach the top floor.
Kudo Shinichi looked at the spiral staircase connecting countless levels of corridors, which made him feel dizzy.
Like a beehive.
There is only one door at the top.
Unabashedly showing specialness.
Kudo Shinichi took out his pass and swiped it at the door, and the door clicked open.
Hattori Heiji couldn't wait to open the door and walked in.
Then I saw a scene that was enough to make me dizzy.
There are screens on all sides.
Even the ground above their heads and beneath their feet.
It’s all screens too.
There is nothing else in the entire room except the screen and a stand in the middle.
At this moment, different pictures are showing on these screens
What appear in thousands of small frames are pictures from different places in the building.
Kudo Shinichi and others even saw themselves in it.
But there is blood.
A lot of blood.
New blood, old blood, half-new blood.
There is blood everywhere.
There are them above your head, on the ground, and everywhere.
There's even a lot of blood on the screen.
But the screen is still showing.
An iron-gray building model is suspended on a platform in the middle of the house.
It looked exactly like the building they saw from the outside.
Emits a pale blue light.
Kudo Shinichi stretched out his hand and touched the building.
Then the images on the screens in all directions changed.
It became some other place.
Kudo Shinichi and others did not ignore this change, he just continued to turn the reduced building model.
Until a line of font appears on the stand.
[There are only five resources left in the building, please replenish resources as soon as possible.]
"Five resources?" Hattori Heiji looked at Kudo Shinichi, then looked down at himself, then at Hakuba Tan, Amuro Toru, and Midorikawa Mu.
"Are you talking about us?" Hattori Heiji asked suspiciously.
"What does resource... mean?" Baima Tan stroked his chin thoughtfully.
Do you treat people as resources?
[Due to insufficient resources, in order to save energy, 99% of the system functions have been shut down. The door lock service and God's Eye continue to be turned on. If you need other functions, please work hard to supplement the resources. When the number of resources exceeds 10,000, the system will
wake.】
This text continued to pop up on the screen of the stand.
"Door lock... God's Eye... It can be understood that the door lock controls the door, so we can use the password and pass to open the door. What is God's Eye? Are these screens?" Hattori Heiji guessed.
"It's really arrogant." He complained.
If these screens are the eyes of God, who is looking at these screens? God?
Kudo Shinichi was still pressing the buttons on the stand tentatively.
[Please select the time point you want to watch.]
He pressed on a place, and a line of text suddenly appeared on the stand.
"Time point? One hundred years ago?" Kudo Shinichi hesitated in his tone, but wrote one hundred years ago on the screen without hesitation.
【Please select the location where you want to watch.】
A building made of virtual lines suddenly appeared on the platform, followed by rooms distributed within the building.
Divided into different areas by different colors.
Red, blue, yellow, green...
"Is this the area you can choose? Choose red, it should be the most dangerous." Hattori Heiji analyzed and spoke.
So Kudo Shinichi chose red.
As a result, thousands of images disappeared from screens in all directions.
The screen went black for a moment, and then lit up again, leaving only the complete picture.
[Experimental subject a0009 has completed evolution.]
The first thing that appeared was a line of thick black font.
When the font disappears, the picture appears on the screen.
The figure with golden curly hair lay quietly in the blood pool. The blood pool gradually dropped, and the roses bloomed one after another.
When all the blood in the blood pool disappeared, roses filled the pool.
"09, open your eyes." Researchers in white coats stood outside the pool and ordered, holding record books in their hands.
The figure lying in the sea of roses opened his eyes.
His clear blue eyes were distant and cold.
"How are you feeling?" The researchers asked him carefully about his condition.
However, only the researcher's back can be seen in the picture, and his face cannot be seen.
There is only one protagonist in this scene.
Only the prince's face is always exposed.
In fact, they didn't know how to call each other, but because the story of the prince and the rose was too classic, they called each other prince.
When the researchers address each other, they use cold numerical codes.
The blond figure lived a regular life every day. In the morning, he was taken to the blood pool by the researcher, and then the data was observed and recorded. After that, he could do whatever he wanted.
Compared to other experimental subjects, he is too free.
Until a second face appeared on the screen.
The mermaid with long ocean-blue curly hair lured the prince to his room with a song.
"Do you like listening to music? People always have their own interests and hobbies."
"I really envy you. You are so free and can walk everywhere. It's a pity that I don't have legs." The mermaid sighed lightly and flicked her beautiful tail.
"Freedom?" The prince sounded confused.
"You can go wherever you want and do whatever you want. What a desirable freedom, isn't it?" the mermaid said with genuine emotion.
The prince left the room for some unknown reason.
He began to write down some divergent emotions in his notebook.
"What are you doing? 09." The researchers looked at his diary with a strong and cold tone.
"Who taught you freedom?" the researchers asked.
The prince remained silent without saying a word.
So he was punished.
That day, the rose, which was not watered by blood, was so hungry that it almost ate the flower pot in which it lived.
It was also that day when the prince touched the roses on his body covered in blood with gentle eyes.
"You are very hungry, Rose. Go and eat them. I know you can do it." He said.
The number of rose vines increased dramatically and stretched out from the ventilation ducts.
The wanton massacre began.
Immediately after discovering the culprit, the researchers came to the prince's room.
Before he could speak, a vine penetrated his heart and sucked all the blood from his body.
Everyone who could control the prince was killed by the rose.
So much so that the collar he wore around his neck to restrain the experimental subjects became an ornamental item.
The prince who killed all the researchers came to the room where they were staying.
They also saw the scene they saw.
"Rose, you won't starve anymore." The prince stood where they were now, not knowing what he saw on the screen, stroking the roses on his body, and said.
At this time, his right eye was still intact, and no rose came out of it.
After that the prince left the room and came here only occasionally.
The researchers in the laboratory have changed again.
As if nothing had happened, the people living in the building were still living the same life.
It was not until ten years later that the blond prince chose to commit suicide in a pool of blood.
The rose drained the blood from the blood pool and began the indiscriminate killing.
The experimental subjects seized this opportunity and began to resist.
The researchers were caught and tortured.
Ordinary residents were also massacred.
After that, the experimental subjects walked towards the meat grinder in a daze.
"Wait! Why did they suddenly walk into the meat grinder and commit suicide? Didn't the resistance succeed?" Hattori Heiji said in confusion.
In the picture, these long and grotesque experimental subjects were lined up and stepped into the meat grinder one after another. Within a minute, they turned into a puddle of mud.
There was no expression of pain on his face, and he did not scream.
Everything went on quietly.
Until all the experimental subjects turned into pulp.
The screen fell into dead silence again.
"Is there... one experimental subject missing? That mermaid?" Kudo Shinichi frowned and looked at everything on the screen.
They didn't recognize many of the experimental subjects that appeared here and had never seen them before.
But there are also some experimental subjects that they have seen recorded in their notebooks.
The experimental subjects they were most familiar with were actually the prince and the mermaid whose faces had appeared before.
The other party had a moment of conversation with the prince.
"Is it my imagination? I always felt that there were some strange sounds in the previous pictures..." Baima whispered.
"As the prince told us, after his death Rose began to massacre, but those ordinary residents and experimental subjects were not killed by Rose." Kudo Shinichi said while looking at the black screen.
"Let's look at other areas." Bai Ma Tan suggested.
So Kudo Shinichi chose the blue area.
[Experimental Subject A0002——The evolution of the Kraken is completed.]
As before, black fonts first appeared on the screen.
Then comes the screen.
In the artificial pool, a mermaid with dark blue curly hair, ocean blue eyes, and a dark blue tail was swimming back and forth with her upper body naked.
Surrounded by researchers who are observing.
It looks like a mermaid show.
The researchers all had earplugs in their ears.
"How far can it be done now?"
"Luring people over with your singing."
"It's too weak. When will we evolve to use singing to hunt?"
"It will take some time, but this is already the most successful one."
"Speed up the progress."
"OK."
The researchers discussed openly and openly.
The mermaid swimming in the pool seemed to know nothing, and her sea-blue eyes were clear and pure.
Until the researcher was gone, he chuckled and opened his mouth.
"What is he doing? Is he singing? Why can't we hear the sound?" Hattori Heiji asked curiously.
"Perhaps you don't want to be discovered by those researchers?" Bai Ma Tan's tone was equally puzzled.
When he saw the prince walking into the Siren's room, he became even more confused.
Even though they couldn't hear the sound, why did the prince come here as if he heard the sound?
Then there was the conversation between the mermaid and the prince, which they had already seen before.
The only difference is that this time the protagonist is a mermaid.
So they saw details they hadn't seen before.
After the prince left, the emotions hidden in the mermaid's pure eyes were full of meaning and expectation.
During the usual inspection, dark green vines suddenly jumped out of the ventilation duct, killing the mermaid researchers.
In the pool, the mermaid gently swayed its tail.
The fish tail turned into human legs, and he took off the dead researcher's clothes and put them on himself.
Of course, I didn't wear that white coat.
He walked minding his own business, changed to a room with a larger pool, and continued to be in front of his merman.
There are still people responsible for raising mermaids.
It was not until ten years later that the vines started killing again that the mermaids began to sing softly.
As he sang, the experimental subjects began to resist.
Also in the midst of his singing, the subjects lined up quietly towards the meat grinder.
When he stopped singing, there was no other life in the building.
"So... this is all the mermaid's plan? Was it intentional from the beginning when we met the prince? Was the prince already seduced by the singing?" Hattori Heiji guessed loudly.
"I'm afraid that's the case." Bai Ma Tan shook his head.
"Strange, why can't we hear his singing..." Hattori Heiji frowned.
"It's probably best if you can't hear such a captivating song," Kudo Shinichi said calmly.
If they heard this, would they also go to the meat grinder?
The mermaid in the picture once again transformed into human legs, walking freely in the deserted building.
Most of the corpses were either swallowed by vines, eaten by other experimental subjects, or became minced meat under the meat grinder.
So much so that not even the body can be seen in the building.
He replaced the brain in the fish tank in the laboratory room.
"That hand turned out to be his." Hattori Heiji thought thoughtfully.
In the documentary they saw before, a hand appeared and replaced the brain in the vat.
The mermaid in the picture was leaning on the edge of the experimental table, looking at the experimental notes in his hand with an unclear smile. He picked up a pen and wrote something on the notes, and then dropped the notes.
"He was the one who wrote that sentence in the notebook..." Hattori Heiji's eyes were a little complicated.
The big x on the notebook and the words that the brain in the vat should be replaced were all left by the other party.
This mermaid feels like a boss behind the scenes.
When Hattori Heiji thought so, the mermaid on the screen had already reached the first floor.
Opened the door.
Outside the door is dark red scorched earth.
It looks no different from the current restricted area of life.
The only difference is the silhouette.
When the mermaid opened the door, dozens of figures stood outside.
"Mission accomplished, welcome back." The mermaid said with a smile.
"Well done, we are back." The figures outside the door said in unison.
They entered the building.
Entered the top room.
Then he disappeared into the building.
"Where are the people? What happened after that? Why are they gone?" Hattori Heiji asked irritably.
"If you were God, would you monitor yourself?" Detective Bai Ma suddenly asked.
"Of course not." Hattori Heiji replied without hesitation.
Even if he wasn't God, he wouldn't want to be watched.
