I·N·S·I·D·E

.

I stared blankly at one corner of the room, no matter how I looked at it, I thought it was just walls and floors and that kind of balancing device.

God knows what I was thinking at the time, but I just said "hello" to the place stupidly like that.

I didn't expect anything at all.

I can swear to you - as long as you're sane, you don't expect something to respond to you when you say hello to the corner of the room because of some particular drive.

But...but the thing did respond to me.

The things hanging on the wall, the wires and discs, were spinning, and then they tinkled like they were being blown by the wind.

Yes, it is him.

Chapter 3

What did the people in your institute call him in the first place?

Fa...Fag...that word is a mouthful for me...

Oh, yes, it's this word, damn it, I still can't pronounce it very well, I just remember what kind of dimensional creature he is.

God knows where you found him.

What?Oh, no way... really from under the Antarctic ice sheet?God, I should have said sorry to Ghosn, he'd been nervously telling me when he was alive that this thing was some kind of ancient evil god that's been frozen in Antarctica or something.I was still making fun of him for reading too many horror and occult novels...

By the way, did I tell you this?Ghosn is my friend, well, a friend I made after I arrived at the institute.

Hahaha, to be honest, that guy really doesn't look like someone who would be obsessed with that kind of thing, and he doesn't fit in with that damn shit research institute.

In fact, I have always thought that if he had been a model, or even the xx actor, it would have been better than coming to the institute. You must know that he still has a pretty good face, but he was a bit nervous, but speaking of it, he still waited Who wasn't in a tizzy when he was there?

Everyone is going crazy, including Ghosn, including me. In fact, I think the group of people in your research institute seem to be about to be crushed by psychological pressure...

Heck, did I stray a little bit off topic again?

Alas, it's better to start over from the so-called drug trial.

Didn't I say that I saw that thing moving around?

To tell you the truth, I always thought it was the air conditioner in that room—until those guys broke in.

That's right, they are people from the research institute.

They looked more frightened than me, no, I was just a little dazed at the time, you know?I have no fucking idea what's going on here.

And, to be honest, I really hate that doctor...Chris, yes, it's just Chris, you usually call him Doctor, don't you?

Well, don't you know?That was a stroke of luck.

You see, it's the end of the world, and I still hate him just thinking about it.

Let me have another drink.

call……

You probably haven't been looked up and down by his gaze at all.His eyes, how should I put it... When he looked at me, I felt like I was an object.

"The data is not wrong? This person?"... Hehe, did I learn the same?

Yes, yes, at first they thought it was a problem with the data.But they asked me to stay there for further inspection.

I didn't really like the... feeling in those people back then.

Of course, thinking about it now, maybe I just instinctively felt a little dangerous.Like those people said, I was born with a very high sensitivity to "Him".

Then I said to the yelling guys that I wanted to go, give me my hundred dollars and I'm still waiting for the night shift.

That's when, that bastard, Chris, he took one look at me and said, stay here and I'll write you a check for a thousand dollars.

God, $1000!Do you believe?Keep

what……

Who would have thought that someone would buy out my future and the end of this world for a thousand dollars.And I was... huh...

I was even happy at the time.

……

Stupid isn't it?

It doesn't matter, I'm already relieved by now.Maybe there will be others without me, someone has to bear this.

……

Oh, come on, your tone of voice is getting more and more familiar now.The people in the research institute coaxed me like this at the beginning, why am I the unique blueprint...

No, no, don't worry, I'm not mad.

Really, the people who really made me feel uncomfortable were dead long ago, and everyone knows how badly they died-yes, the accident.

Hey, wait, let's not go that far, let's get back to the goddamn thousand dollars.

Yep I stayed there and did some messy experiments.

They took me to another room, and this time there was no such strange hanging in the room.Then the gang, terrified to death but flushed with excitement, hid behind the glass window and looked at me like a monkey.

Later, this test was actually done many times, and I think you know the process... yes, they asked me to point out his location.

Oh, of course, I pointed it out, otherwise you and I wouldn't be sitting here talking about this boring past.But to be honest, there were very few things that I could perceive at the time, and I could only give random pointers based on my feelings, because I... I actually really wanted that thousand dollars.

Haha, that's funny, I thought Chris was being taken for a ride at the time.

And when I walked out of the room, those people stopped me, everyone looked like they had taken drugs, their eyes were shining, and their bodies were shaking.

Then they started asking me if I would cooperate with them to conduct in-depth experiments-according to them, they are actually doing biological experiments...including some telepathy and so on...

My answer at the time?I was going to say "no" but...

……

But... but you know, no matter what I said at the time, the result would not change anything.When I foolishly said "Hello" to the corner, the fate of me and this world has been decided.

I didn't know until a long time later that all those people who entered the room with me that day were all dead.

No, not in such a bloody way—many of them got out of that building unharmed, but that night and over the next few months, they went mad one after another.

One even scooped out his own eyeball with a spoon and ate it, which made the news.

Of course your people failed to get the public attention on those news.

Well, I didn't pay attention to those people's deaths either.

Some junkie or some runaway teen killing himself in horrific ways miles away from me... I don't pay much attention to that.

Really.

And at that time, I didn't have extra energy to care about those, because I had already been taken to the "White Tower" at that time.

Wait... No way, you don't know this nickname?

I thought "White Tower" was about to become another synonym for that damn research institute.

At least that's what people I meet, researchers and hapless people like me call it.

I never liked that damn place...

Yes, from the beginning.

That place just feels weird...

Well, to be more precise, it's disgusting.

That place is obviously so modern, but the moment I walked in, I just felt as if I had fallen into that kind of old mental hospital that killed countless people. Even the air in that place smelled of madness.Oh, sorry I said that about where you work to your face, but I really can't think of anything else to describe it.

……

Don't you feel that special feeling?The place was so eerie that it gave goosebumps.

……I know.

For God's sake, it's already reached this time, and your rhetoric is still exactly the same as what those damn guys said back then. What research equipment and those monsters emit infrasound waves? High-frequency vibrations cause abnormalities in the human brain's vestibule.

No no no, I'm not angry.I'm just a little... mood swings.

……

Let me have another drink.

……

Well, now I feel better.

Reminiscing about the past in the end of the world is not an easy job, is it?Ha ha……

……

Well, well, I have to admit this, the scenery there is very beautiful.

Why can't those people use such a good place to build some five-star hotel or something?Blue sky, white clouds, sea and beach, and girls in bikinis with sunscreen and beer, I think these things are much cuter than those weird prehistoric creatures dug from Antarctica, aren’t they?

Yes, you can see, I miss the old days, but who doesn't?

I bet you that everyone on the planet right now is nostalgic for the days before the world was destroyed.

Don't you?

……

Wow, this expression of yours is really going to fool me, you look like you are really quite satisfied with your current crashing life.

This is really an enviable attitude towards life.

I wish I could think as hard as you do...

Well, wait, let's not talk too far away. If we continue talking aimlessly like this, we really don't know how long we will talk.

We just talked about...

Oh yes, speaking of the White Tower, damn the White Tower.

I think you've already seen that I'm not actually planning to go there.

Really.

You know, I don't like that Chris guy.

And the so-called "pharmaceutical company" at the time also made me a little
