Steel steam and flame

All of Cassia's questions had no answers, and the three people in white lab coats in front had no intention of explaining. Cassia could only follow slowly, walking through the not-so-long passage, and the front suddenly became open. The intersecting underground laboratory passages were brightly illuminated, and the light gray walls were obviously designed to avoid light. measures to make them look very soft and not dazzling.

The passage was in the shape of a fishbone, and Cassia followed the old professor in front and turned in at the entrance of a passage. It is divided into many small rooms. Through the floor-to-ceiling glass embedded in the wall, you can clearly see the students who came here earlier and were tied up with high-quality leather. Each student has a room and is surrounded by people. three people wearing white lab coats.

While Cassia was still lamenting the large number of teaching staff in the military school, the footsteps in front stopped.

"We're here, please come in. Welcome to my studio, although it's only temporary." The old professor in front of him sounded surprisingly kind, probably to relieve the tension of the young man in front of him who looked pale with nervousness.

"Please take off your clothes and lie down on the metal table." The voice of the woman who looked like a female nurse was very nice.

The heating was continuously supplied in the laboratory. Cassia, who had a bare upper body and a strong body, did not feel cold. On the contrary, she felt cool. He put the paper of the will aside and lay on the ice-like metal table with a rough mood. Two nurses, a man and a woman, stood aside and fixed Cassia firmly on the metal table with leather. . From the ankles to the thighs, from the wrists to the shoulders, including the body, even the neck is bound by strips of tough leather, leaving only one head that can barely turn. Then there are various sensor devices, connected to the back by thin metal wires of different colors, and finally gathered together next to the display machine on the side, which uses numbers to display the current status of Cassia's body.

The leather was pulled very tightly, and Cassia felt a little uncomfortable. Her pale face suddenly turned red, and she felt an inexplicable panic in her heart.

"Don't be nervous, it's just a few minor surgeries." The old professor put on a mask, smashed a glass bottle containing medicine with a bang, then picked up the silver syringe, sucked all the medicine in, and put it on again under the light. Comes with an almost invisible sharp needle.

"Excuse me, what is this for?" Cassia looked at the various unnamed surgical instruments neatly placed on the edge of the metal table. There were many types of surgical instruments, as if they were precision works of art. They were placed there in an orderly manner. The white The light reflects a bit of cold light that can pierce the skin. The surrounding air is filled with the smell of potion and disinfectant that is unique to hospitals, as well as a mechanical arm driven by an analytical machine that is as precise as a mechanical watch. No matter how you look at it, these so-called minor surgeries are not just simple injections and medicines as they appear on the surface.

"Can I skip these operations?" Cassia suddenly heard low moans coming from next door, and he felt a little scared.

"Of course not. You heard how smoothly the operation next door went." The old professor and the two assisting nurses were preparing the medicines needed for the operation syringe by syringe. "If these operations are not performed, then the 'death declaration' you just signed will The Agreement' and the 'Remains Disposal Agreement' are about to come into effect."

"You understand what I mean, right? Don't worry. As a student of First Samsung College, you must have excellent mental qualities. I am also an old professor in the military school. Have you ever heard of a teacher harming a student? Everything It’s all for your own good.”

The old professor came over and smeared the veins on his arm with cotton soaked in alcohol. Stimulated by the smell of alcohol, the cold feeling instantly spread throughout his body.

Cassia shivered all over and blinked a few times. In her pupils, the old professor had already walked to her side with a syringe containing light yellow medicine.

"What kind of medicine is this? Professor, you must read the instructions carefully before using it. Don't get the wrong dose." Cassia looked at the extremely thin needle, and felt a tingling sensation on her arm. He was worried that if the old professor's eyes were blurred, his life would be summed up here on the metal platform.

"Young man, don't be afraid. After these operations, you are guaranteed to be reborn and refreshed when you wake up." The old professor felt so confident that he almost raised his hand to the alloy ceiling and swore to the Holy Emperor.

The old professor once again smeared the area where the medicine was to be injected with alcohol, then picked up the needle and slowly injected all the medicine into the vein of Cassia's arm while Cassia's body trembled.

"If there is a reaction, prepare to inject the serum." The old professor threw the injected needle into the waste basket and said to the two people assisting him. He himself took out a tin box from the locker on the side. From the corner of his eye, Cassia saw that the tin box was a very high-standard one with a password. To open it, you not only need to enter the password, but also have a corresponding matching key. Passcard. If it is forcibly opened, the self-destruction device inside will be activated, and the power of the explosion can spread dozens of meters away.

Cassia wanted to see clearly what was inside, but the scenery in her eyes became increasingly blurry. Only then did he feel as if the blood all over his body was on fire. It was a burning feeling that started from the bones inside the body, and then spread to every corner of the body along the blood vessels and blood. He felt very thirsty, and the air that was poured into his throat was as hot as fire, and his stomach began to churn. Even though he was nauseated and wanted to vomit, there was nothing to spit out because he had not eaten.

The heart began to beat violently. The limit of ordinary people's heart beats is about 220 times. At this moment, on the monitor next to Cassia, the display representing the number of heart beats is approaching this level. Cassia opened her mouth and started panting violently. The supply of oxygen seemed to be completely insufficient for her heart, which was like an overloaded steam engine. His face turned red, and a trace of purple began to appear. There were bulging blood vessels on his forehead, and his eyes began to become bloodshot and bloodshot.

Cassia just felt that her body was extremely uncomfortable, like a loaded machine, as if it would stall at any time. There were tears in the corners of his eyes, and he had lost most of the touch of his limbs, so much so that he didn't even know that he had been given several more injections. Various medicines of different colors were injected into his body, and the skin that reacted violently showed a different kind of pain. red.

He tried to keep his eyes open, trying to see clearly the increasingly blurry scenery. But the surrounding light is quickly being swallowed up by darkness. In the darkness, a pair of golden eyes gradually lit up, staring directly at him.

These should not be a pair of human eyes. The golden part shines like the sun, and the dark part is as lonely as the lifeless seabed. Its pupil is no longer a dot, but a bright red cross, as rich as the magma constantly pouring out of the ground, as bright as the blood of a holy virgin, it has the heat that can burn the sky, and it can contain as much as the night The depth of the earth.

What kind of creature's eyes are these? It is a question destined to remain unanswered. Cassia was swallowed up by the darkness and completely passed out on the metal platform.
