*Doors kick opened*

After making sure it's cleared, Mickey then breached inside the room. While gunfire continued to go on and on in the background behind him.

He did not waste the time, pull out the drive, and inserted it in the computer hole, gaining the information recorded in the Lab's computer through the high-tech USB drive the same way Syd did.

Complete!

He kept the drive back, then ripped pieces of papers all over there to himself.

He quickly moved on to the next place, The Jewish boy rushed to the next door, this one required a key card to open.

But that's not the problem for Electricity manipulators like him. But first, he needed to put off his glove because it's a nonconductor.

“ [ There's a separate way ahead of you, Mickey, beware.]”

“ aight.”

Mickey had gone through all over the middle section. And here he was, almost going to deepest.

Not for long after he touched his palm on the electrical pad, the electric doors opened up for him.

Mickey lifted his rifle, nothing was inside the place but pure darkness.

And since he's wearing a gas mask, he couldn't smell either.

“ Hell no. The place is dark as fuck.”

Said the boy.

*Tack*

The rifle flashlight had been activated, as well as the chills running up to the boy's spines as the light had shown a red liquid pattern on the white floor.

“... A blood... ”

The traces of the red liquid showed the sign of being dragged, so Mickey followed the light until his eyes caught up with something disturbing to watch.

A man's leg.

Being ripped off from the unfortunate owner.

“.....”

Though it was not just a naked leg, it got a shoe on and a piece of trousers covering it.

But the worst part is the cut was shown towards Mickey's direction.

He could see through the red flesh and a cross-section on the knee and a bone inside the joint.

(...Augh... I can smell it from here...)

At least he didn't have to smell it. Thanks to the gas mask.

“ Though I have no idea how I need to turn on the light. The police are comin' here.”

With careful movement, Mickey had managed to found the light switch.

*click*

The light got turned on, showing Mickey Mannix what was going on in front of him.

And it made his eyes widely opened in shock.

The leg was just the beginning of a disturbance. Because this room was filled with bodies of unknown people scattered all over the places.

The wall, the floor, or even the lab tools were destroyed and covered with red blood.

Carefully analyzing, these were guards. And also the researchers...and children too.

Also, it seems that the Lab guards or Monter's men or Pete's henchman or whatever they're called had prepared well for something like this to happen, because by looking at a corpse while passing by, Mickey found that they had worn a gas mask either.

“ The hell happened here?”

“ [ Mickey, what happened?] ”

Roxxy, outside, asked him.

“ Some resident evil shit... Kinda hard to explain... But from the trace, one thing I can tell... These people did not die normally.”

“ [Turn on the headcam]”

“ Roxxy, I swear you don't want to see it.”

“ [Do it.]”

“.....”

“ [ Holy fuck.] ”

The gross was sent to him through the voice as Mickey turned the head camera on, Mickey felt the disgust.

He could hear Sera's voice in the background too.

“[Jesus fucking christ. What the fuck?]”

“ A massacre.Fighting traces. These bullet holes on the wall...”

Mickey tapped a hand on the wall.

!!!

“ A smoke... This bullet had been fired not long ago...”

“ [ Does that mean...] ”

“ Something kills all of them. The blood on the floor and body parts are mixed...I couldn't tell which is which... But I don't see the blood outside...which means... It only happened in here...”

Turning around to the corpses behind him, Mickey suggested,

“ Every corpse here, most of them wear masks... This means the incident occurred during the gas flow. whoever or whatever did this to them did not get putting to sleep.”

Though he wanted to get out of here so bad, the job is the job.

On the other hand, he needed to search more than he had done.

Walking passed t the corpses, carefully not to step on the blood, Mickey found an extra room next to the corner of the place.

There was a sign, obviously told what this room was.

“ Control room.”

There may be someone waiting inside, Mickey kicked the door opened, aiming his rifle, inside was so dark. But the light from the outside did help him a little bit.

He found another body of a woman wearing a white coat lying on the table, facing down the desk.

“.....”

Glaring around, no one except her was in the room.

The control room was not wide, with Many cracked monitor screens on the wall and desks and long tables in front of them.

However, the monitor screen showed nothing but broken signals, some were still usable too but they're a few.

“...Mess... Just like Sera's house.”

He found a ‘Black’ document next to the woman's body. But he hasn't picked it up yet. Because there's a locker inside the room, and they were still closed.

“ .... ”

Mickey approached the locker with high caution.

One hand aiming, another slowly opened the locker...

*Quickly opened up*

Nothing inside. But lots and lots of papers and records.

“.......”

*Ripping off papers*

Then collected each piece into the pocket.

Mickey then turned back, glaring left and right, after he's certain no one was alive.

He picked up the document near the lady's body.

But one obstruction, her arm. Mickey lifted the lady's arm, picking up the document...but then... As his eyes saw what was on her face.

“.....”

This lady's face was entirely ripped off.

“....”

No words from the Jewish boy, but his eyes had spoken it all. This may be one of the most disturbing experiences he had.

“ But wait...something wasn't right. It does not look like someone cut it...”

Turning the lady's face left and right, he was even more certain.

The edge between the red flesh and skin was too smooth. Even using a knife to peel it cannot even make it this smooth and round.

“ The skin wasn't taken off from the outside... It was being pushed from the inside...like...exploding...”

Suddenly, someone called Mickey through the small talk, it was Syd Barrett.

“ Can you get to my location? I found the Hebrew language was written but I cannot read it.”

“ Hebrew? ”

It was a language in Mickey's motherland, Israel, But it was nothing surprised to have a person from Israel here due to the reason that most unfortunate prisoners were mostly taken from the war zone.

Seeing there's nothing left to be collected, Mickey took the black document with him.

“ Yes. I've gained all the evidence in my task. How do I get there?”

Though he spotted an opened vent on the ceiling in which there's blood all around, he didn't have time to care about it.

“ I'll turn on the switch for you. Can you get here by the ground wire? Exit through the fluorescence lamp I just ripped off half a second ago. ”

“ Yeah. I can do that.”

He then proceeds to follow the computer's wires behind the monitor screens until he met with the power socket.

If Syd had turned on the switch in his location, which technically he did connect another line of the circuit from him to Mickey, Mickey can get there in just a second.

Mickey pulled the plugs and threw them away, he transformed himself into lightning then, went inside the power socket.

In less than a second, due to the speed of light, he can cross out the wrong path and choose the correct line of the circuit to go to, he quickly altered back into human form as he exited out of the fluorescence wire.

Syd Barrett was slightly startled as Mickey had appeared out of it, just a reflex, he lowered down a pistol before talking to Mickey. However, as Mickey had just observed the environment around himself, He was downed.

Because all surrounding both of them were cages, and in the cages were victims of the war. The outsiders that have been abducted and chained here. Just to be a sample in the experiment.

Many ages, many genders, but one thing he glad was the fact that they were all unconscious.

Just a pure silence that made him uncomfortable.

“ What the fucking hell... This place is a Nazi Jew camp?”

Said Mickey.

“ Or worse.”

Sud then guided the way, it's not very far from here.

From where Mickey had come from, he agreed with it being worse than he imagined. As someone who had been chained, tormented, and incarcerated before, he understood them well.

Syd pointed the flashlight into the dark corner of the room, it was actually a Hebrew text. But it's been written up with blood.

“..... Shit.... Man, this fucking place is creepy as hell.” Mickey commented,

“ And you are right...this is Hebrew texts.”

“ What does it say?”

“......”

אדל מתה. הם עשו לה רע. מי שרואה אותה ימות. אף אחד לא ישרוד. אף אחד לא יכול

“ Adele is dead. They did her badly. One who sees her will die. No one survives.... No...One...can.”

Both were silenced. They said nothing cause they knew. They knew it was useless to ask a kind of question like what did it mean or who is Adele? Because both have no idea.

“.....”

“ You got any evidence?”

Asked Syd.

“ Plenty. So as this.”

“ What is it?”

Mickey raised a black thin document in the air, it was outstanding from the other white document he saw. Because the whole thing is entirely covered in black and only texts are white.

“ You find that in the room you said it's full of bodies?”

“ Yeah.” Mickey nodded, “ This thing was next to a corpse. She doesn't even have a face. I still wonder who did that to her.”

“ What do you mean no face?”

“ Her skin was peeled off.”

“ Oh, shit...”

Syd can imagine that, though he didn't want to.

“ Let's have a peek on it.”

The boy suggested.

Mickey flipped the pages over, and they discovered the shocking text on the other side.

!!!!!!

Sample 666..... “ELEDA”

The test result: Dangerously progress. Resulting in Hazardous ability which needs to be treated without having eye contact with the sample.

Fed drugs: …

They'd like to continue reading, but Roxxy's voice in small talk warned them to get out.

“ {What are you waiting for! Get out!} ”

The boys then turned back and walked out, before Mickey Mannix left, he turned his eyes back gazing at the abducted people behind him... Before he turned away and followed Syd out the room.

The boys were breaching their way out of the base, there're still a police force and the place's guards shooting in a distance. So they need to be careful very much.

But then...

Only a few sections to pass so that they can get out, the automatic door Syd used to break in suddenly shuts itself down sealing him and Mickey from the outside.

They were confusing.

“ What the fuck? ”

“ The door shuts itself...”

After that, the picture cut to Roxxy Barrett and Seraphina Gilmour in the vehicle outside.

The IT girl was biting her lips, she looked badly stressed.

“ Fuck... They have activated their security protocol! They sealed all the access and camera settings! I need time to reboot the system.”

Sera saw a nerve on Roxxy's forehead, which means she's trying to suppress the rage within her.

Cut back to Syd and Mickey.

Mickey took off the glove before tapping on the electric pad, for a minute, the door opened up.

“ Have you counted how many entrances I have to do this? ”

Asked Mickey.

“ Nah.” Syd shook his head. Mickey then lifted his hand and communicate Toshi on the other side,

“ Tosh You need help, man?”

“ { Yeah. The entrances I've passed seem to be all locked up. I'm almost done here. Just open the doors outside for me.} ”

.

.

.

.

.

On the other side, from a different perspective just a second before the door closed, Toshi was the flowest one to do the job. The Red emergency light can be seen through the gas and the loud alarm noise can be heard from a distance. But those can not stop him from pick locking the doors, however...

SLAM!

While he was picking the lock of the other door, the previous door he came through automatically shut itself down, sealing him from the outside.

“......”

He turned his head over, suddenly, the electronic pad which was in the middle of getting unlocked also resets itself to the factory setting.

Beep!

“ What the...”

He paused, not because he couldn't continue opening it but because he's afraid that someone might have caught him. But no one else was in the room with him, so who did it?

“ The door just shut itself down…what happened?”

The other side was also talking about this through small talk too.

“ [Fuck... They have activated their security system! They seal all the access and camera settings! I need time to reboot the system] ”

(... Aight...)

Toshi started picked locking once again, and finally...

*Beep* *Beep* *Crick*

It took time longer than Mickey because he cannot manipulate the electricity in the door like him. As doors opened, showing the last room he aimed for searching.

“ {Tosh, you need help man?} ”

He heard Mickey asking him through the ear, Thinking that it'll be a waste of time if he started continually unlock the doors by himself again from inside out, better have Mickey unlock doors for him from the outside coming in and he, too, will unlock the doors from in here to the outside, thus, they'll meet at the middle. It's a better option.

“Yeah. The entrances I've passed seem to be all locked up. I'm almost done here. Open the doors outside for me.”

Toshi then made his way inside, the light on the ceiling was flickering. Suddenly, he found the body of the female scientist lying down, he checked her body, found a keycard.

Lifting face, was another automatic door which this time required a keycard to get in.

Analyzing the scene, this woman sure was rushing out of the room while she got the report of the force entrance. But unfortunately, she didn't wear a gas mask so she was asleep on the floor lime this.

Toshi quickly took the keycard and scanned it on the door, thinking.

(Damn, this place is full of doors)

However, that was not just there. Toshi heard a sound inside the pad.

[ Require Iris scan ]

“......”

Toshi carried her body up and faced her on the pad, trying to open her eye with his finger.

[ Require Finger print]

“ This fucking-”

He then used all of her fingers on it.

[ Success ]

Doors widely opened, inside was a room full of CCTV cameras from literally every direction pointing at the space in the middle.

In that space contained a weird massive sphere glass which can fit a person inside, connected with many black wires to the giant screen at the back and a complicated scale pad next to it.

(......)

Toshi thought he had seen something like this before. And it was in some horror asylum game he had played.

This GAVE the same vibe.

“..........”

He whips out a drive before quickly got himself to the computer devices and plugged it in. Sucking off the information.

And since the computer wasn't shut down, he started to check on it.

And he found tons of records. A LOT of them were named “Sample...” following by numbers.

“ It took times to save all this...”

Toshi decided to have a look at each footage while waiting for the process.

He saw a wide screenshot of many people being put on the strange suit before they dropped each one of them in the chair right in front of the camera. He then saw them feed the child with various colors of pill individually, then right after that... The exact moment RIGHT after they took the pill. They caught. And it gets heavier and heavier until some of them burst out a red liquid from the mouths and noses before they collapsed down the floor and shaking with torturous pain, leaking out more red liquid until they stopped from moving. And the scientist team came and dragged it out of the camera before the footage got cut.

However, the one who survived will also be taken out of the camera too. It's like they'd have to face the other experiments these people prepared for them.

“ Augh...this is so fucked up.”

Clicking on the next clip, now it's a surgery of people Toshi assumed they've failed the experiment. The team was cutting its chest opened and found that the internal organs have been mixed up nauseatingly. He couldn't even identify which organs are which. It's disgusting, Maybe the most obvious and still recognizable one was The lungs. Though they were split and soften down like boiling pork meat.

Everything inside the body was like vomit but made up of human internal organs.

Toshi quickly closed down the footage as he couldn't take it anymore.

However, he did remember one thing.

From the information as far as they have, this colorful pill must be that “Ability-awaken” pill Pete and Daisy were talking about.

So this means what Sally had told them were true, though he's doubt how the girl can escape out of this terrible place.

Then his eyes came to catch with the file in the middle of footages named,

“ Sample 666 ”

With a curiosity that was led by the beauty of number, Toshi gazed eyes to the download percentage, 85%…, He decided to have another check on it.

In this raw footage was a teenage man, younger than Toshi a lot but not too young. He's dressing in white and looking scared of something. He was chained to the fixed patient chair, there was a device set up on his head. It was a brain signal measure device with a small thin silver thing sticking out forcing his eyes to open all the time.

Then, there comes a creature Toshi can sense that it was dangerous just by looking at the video.

The security guard in the very thick armor brought in the little girl with black hair.

She has pale skin... Extremely pale like a corpse. Around her arms and legs were full of scratch and infected-like wounds. She had her entire face covered with a black metal mask with no holes to see through.

It was horrible.

“ Go.”

The voice over the camera ordered them, guards took off the mask out her face.

Toshi noticed one strange thing.

One of the guards always pressed down the girl's neck, forcing her to look down the floor while another was holding the mask.

Like they were trying to avoid looking at her.

But Toshi saw it. The girl's face looks terrible as if she was beaten terribly. Her eyes, instead of like the others, were pure RED. Not just only at the pupils like Syd but the entire eyes.

This was getting worse and worse, Toshi couldn't even identify her race.

The boy was struggling, he was screaming painfully as he realized it was this girl they brought in, he tried to move away but couldn't.

The men then squeezed her hair and pulled her face up to that boy, forcing them to stare at each other.

“ NO NO NO NO!! PLEASE I DON'T WANT TO DIE! STOP!!! TAKE HER AWAY! TAKE HER AWAY! PLEASE! I DON'T WANNA DIE! I DON'T WANNA DIE! PLEASE, MAMA!!! MAMAAAAA!!!! ”

His eyes were full of tears in just a second. The entire place was silent and this is the only voice the was there. It downed Toshi step by step, though his face was still the same.

The boy and the girl were staring at each other for an entire minute, he screamed so painful that Toshi's neck felt hurt just by listening.

But shortly, the boy quiets down after the entire minute of stare.

He changed.

He silent.

Then the girl whispered something to his ear. Toshi didn't quite hear it but as the girl stepped back.

The boy was released from the chair and free from the device that being put on. But instead of feeling grateful or showing any sign of positive emotion, he started to slam his head down the floor.

“ Ho.Ly.Fuck.”

Now, the screaming was replaced by a slamming sound. He slammed until the floor was covered with his blood. Toshi saw the boy's inner meat flying out too but at that time he decided to pause the tape.

Gazing at the loading bar, it was finished. He quickly pulls the drive out and walked out of here.

The picture was so fucked up Toshi couldn't get it out of his head. He wanted to wash his face as soon as he took this mask off.

“ Hey. Where you at now? I'm going out.”

“ {Almost there. Just seem to have this weird brat blocking us. I don't know.} ”

“ Weird brat? ”

“ {Yeah. A little girl.} ”

His eyebrows twisted as Syd Barrett spoke on the other end of the line, his sense was shaking as his ally informed him.

“ Did she have the mask on? I thought they're still leaking the sleeping gas.”

“{That's the weird part. She didn't have one but still manage to stand over there.}”

Toshi realized that something was going off. He, now, had a couple of ideas what it'd be, but he hoped it won't. So he asked back with a nervous voice.

“ What does she look like??? ”

“ {Black hair...and super, super pale... And so skinny... We only see her back though. Mickey is dealing with her, I'm behind him... Creepy ass looking-} ”

That's when Toshi snapped.

“ BRO! GET THE FUCK OUT OF THERE! QUICK!!!! DON'T GO NEAR HER!!! DON'T LOOK AT HER!!!! BROOO! ”

“ Wha-??? ”

BANG!

Suddenly, Toshi heard the gunshot at that side, following by Syd Barrett's screaming.

“{NOOO! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!} ”

.

.

.

.

.

A moment before.

Syd Barrett and Mickey Mannix made their ways out of the right section, they sneakily walked passed the police force and about to enter the left building where Toshi was in, however, they were obstructed by the male police officer.

“ Hey! You! What are you doing?! ”

Maybe because they both are moving to rush and made him suspicious. So he aimed to stop.

But unfortunately, they don't have much time.

S M A C K!

Syd Barrett knocked him in the back of his neck, sending him out of consciousness in a single blow, and continued rushing like nothing's happened.

“ Seems like the doors shutting down by themselves had gone to the ears of police... They may have called for the technical support now.”

Said Syd.

Mickey used his palm to adjust the electricity in the door, Syd Barrett covered his back for him. Both movements are synchronized with each other.

“ Have you finished reboot your hacking? ”

Syd asked his sister.

“ [ Not yet. I'm trying! ] ”

BEEP.BEEP.BEEP-BEEP. CLICK.

Doors opened, they found the bodies of children in white clothes lying down sleeping, multiple swat operators were involved in the scene clearing up the Lab guards bodies and carrying the kids out of here.

After they managed to get to the spot no Swat officers had reached.

The area got darker and silencer as they went deeper.

BEEP.BEEP.BEEP-BEEP. CLICK.

“...”

Syd pulled Mickey from going.

“.....”

Mickey lifted his rifle, turned on the rifle light, and carefully inspected the circumstance.

Glaring up, Mickey saw a vent had been opened. But nothing was there. Nothing was in the room but them.

“......”

BEEP.BEEP.BEEP-BEEP. CLICK.

Doors opened, but now, they saw a girl was standing turning her back on them. And she was standing right over the room but wasn't clear because of darkness.

!?

“........”

She wasn't moving. Syd aimed the light at her, revealing the appearance in the shadow. Briefly analyzing, her skin was extremely pale. She had black hair and on the skin was a raw scratch of infected-like wounds.

“ The fuck... Bro, that's-”

“ It's human, cunt.” Syd said, “ I don't know how she can still standing there...but I don't like it... Don't go near her... I have a sense that some shit 'boutta get real.”

“.....”

“ Hey. Hey You! ”

Mickey spoke, but she didn't respond.

Because the girl was blocking the jammed door they needed to go through to help Toshi out, the boys had nothing left to choose except slowly approaching while aiming the guns at her.

“ Hey, you hear me! HEY! ”

“ FUCKING BRAT! ”

Syd picked up a water bottle on the desk and threw it at her, but she still didn't move.

Suddenly, Syd Barrett got a call from Toshi, but over here the signal wasn't very good. So Syd turned his face to left and right and luckily, he got the call from Toshi.

“ {Hey, where you at now? I'm going out} ”

“ Almost there. Just seem to have this weird brat blocking us. I don't know.”

Syd replied, while, Mickey noticed that the girl finally turned her face around and stared at him.

But her face... It was her face that took his breath and shocked him.

Her eyes are red. And she had no eyelids. They were cut off. And her face was so. So horrifying that it shook his spines.

“ Hey, kid. Move! ”

In case she's deaf, he tried waving his hand, In case she's blind...then how the fuck she can get here.

(... Bitch...will she jump at me? )

“ Hey. You hear me? I will repeat the last time! Get out! Put your hands in the air. Slowly! ”

( Agg....)

He did not know why.

But the more he stared at her, the more his consciousness started to fade.

It was like he fell under the spell or something... The most accurate would be that one time Mickey was drunk.

Except it raised in just a second. He felt like being taken control.

“ Ekk... What the hell? ”

The sound around him started to fade down, Syd who's talking to Toshi was just right behind his back, but Mickey didn't hear his voice.

The girl was mumbling something, at first, Mickey didn't hear what she's talking. But as he read her lips...

“ Shoot yourself.”

“.......”

?!

What?

Did he mishear it?

Mickey felt like sinking into the water. His head was dizzy, his eyelids felt heavy like it could close down anytime. Right now it wasn't different from someone who's desiring for sleeping.

And finally... The last thing Mickey saw was the shocking face of his friend, Syd Barrett, dropping his rifle and jumping right at him without hesitation.

Wha?

Without knowing that in Syd Barrett's perspective, Mickey was pointing his pistol under his chin and about to pull the trigger.

BANG!

“ NOOO! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING! ”

And the image got cut off.

In the van.

The Bang noise was heard from all people connected with them.

“ SYD?! WHAT HAPPEN?! ”

“ {MICKEY SHOT HIMSELF!!} ”

The situation was getting worse, Sera was shocked too.

Cutting back to Syd Barrett, He had just jumped himself to Mickey, stopping him from whatever he's going to do. Unfortunately, he was too slow. The bullet had already run up through Mickey's chin.

However, it didn't go all the way up to the head since Syd had launched to him. The bullet direction got pushed aside, making it ran up from Mickey's chin and went out off his upper cheek near the eye instead. Breaking the gas mask.

Mickey's body collapsed down almost immediately under Syd's arm.

He didn't know if he was still alive or not, but what he knew was that Mickey was no longer aware of the circumstance anymore. And the injury was severe, must be cured in time.

“ YOU! ”

Syd aimed the pistol at the girl, but then Toshi's loud noise had stopped him from that.

“ { SYD!!! LOOK AWAY FROM HER OR YOU'LL DIE! } ”

Syd was still glaring at the girl. But with anger, he, with no hesitation, pull the trigger aiming to kill this girl. But as the bullet hit... It was the glass.

There was a bulletproof glass objecting between her and him.

At that moment, Syd just realized, he turned the face away.

“ WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?! THIS LITTLE BITCH MADE MICKEY SHOT HIMSELF! I'LL KILL HER! ”

“ { Bro… Listen! Whatever you're doing! Don't let your eyes come connect with her! I just saw the tape she did to victims! I'll be getting there! } ”

Said Toshi.

“ There's a bulletproof mirror between me and this bitch! If you came out you'll face her before us!!! She's standing there !!! ”

“ { HOW'S MICKEY?! } ”

Asked Toshi.

“.... I don't know... He blew half of his face ... FUCK!!!! ”

Everybody eyes wide opened. Just imagine what he now looked like made them felt uncomfortably hot inside their chest and couldn't properly breathe.

Suddenly, they heard Sera's voice saying throughout the small talk.

“ He needs to be helped in time...”

Cut to the van.

“ What?”

Roxxy turned her face back to Sera. What did she just say during this emergency?

“ I'm the only one who can heal wounds in time. I need to go there.”

Sera picked up the small talk, wearing the gas mask, she brought another one and hung it on the waist.

“....”

Hard to argue, but in a situation like this. Sera's right.

Bleep!

At the same time, Roxxy finished rebooting the system, she passed Sera the pistol.

“ I'll guide you there.”

“....”

Sera nods turned back and jumped out of the Van.
