[Experiment Log 9]

[Time: January 2077 (six months ago)]

[Recorded by: Xie Kang]

[I'm hiding in the A3 Laboratory. This place is fairly discreet, and the door is made of police-level special steel. The monster shouldn't find this place anytime soon]

[All my students and assistants have escaped on their own. One close assistant even shoved me as he ran, saying "Teacher, buy me some time," and pushed me toward the monster...]

[Luckily, I'm skilled enough and managed to shoot that bastard as a reflex, dropping him down so that he became the monster's first meal in a half-dead state]

[Hmph...]

[They always talked about "respecting the teacher," saying they respect me like a father, but when disaster struck, they ran faster than anyone]

[This is the damned human nature]

[What they didn't realize when abandoning me was that I always held a simple "base terminal" in my hand, capable of controlling the switches of the laboratory doors]

[In time, every few days, I'll open a door between the laboratory and the shelter to lure the monster over, letting this pack of ingrates slowly taste despair]

[Sigh]

[But in the end, this plan was still a failure. The monster went out of control, and I will also lose the laboratory that's been with me for thirty years]

[Honestly, it's not a big deal]

[Through this series of experiments, I've already obtained my doctorate. Even if I lose the laboratory and the project, the company will still renew my contract to start a new project]

[What I need to do now is send a distress signal to the company so they can have the Mercenaries carry out a rescue operation]

[I've already sent out my distress signal. At most, in three months, the company's army will flatten this town... when that time comes, whether it's a King or a monster, in front of a micro-nuclear warhead, they are merely ants]

[It's just... when the signal was sent out, it went through a bit of network fluctuation, so I haven't received any reply on my end]

[But this is also normal; it's the Death Domain after all, signal interference is common, the company is bound to receive the information, they have special methods]

[As for now, what I need to do is gather as much information on "it" and the monster as possible; perhaps when I get out, I can replicate it proportionally and sell it for a good price]

[Let's continue observing]

[Experiment Log 10]

[Time: February 2077]

[Recorded by: Xie Kang]

[After one month of observation, we have noted down the rough data of the monster]

[...]

Xie Kang seemed to have written quite a lot about the monster's data in the document records.

Regrettably, most of the documents were stained with blood, making them difficult to decipher, with only one sentence barely recognizable.

[This organism possesses strong growth and adaptability, and it exhibits a certain intelligence, making it far more troublesome than it appears]

[If used as a biological weapon, it might have a good effect in the "assassination" market]

Judging by the steadiness of the handwriting, Xie Kang didn't seem panicked at all; instead, he appeared confident.

Until the moment the test specimen went out of control, he showed no fear, feeling certain he would be rescued to continue enjoying his wealth in the real world.

But judging from the final result, he seems to have fallen short of his expectations.

After analyzing the facial features of the remains in the laboratory, Jack and Frost Moon have already confirmed that the fragmented corpse on the ground is that of Xie Kang, in his fifties.

He still died here, and in a particularly gruesome way, slaughtered alive in terror.

His last two logs also recorded this point.

[Time: April 2077]

[Recorded by: Xie Kang]

[Within three months, the monster devoured my students and assistants, not even leaving the bones intact...]

[Now, it's starving and frantically looking for people! Several times it passed by my door, even smashed the door a few times, really scaring me]

[Fortunately, this door is solid enough to hold off that beast]

[But why isn't there any rescue news yet? It's already been over three months; logically, the company's efficiency shouldn't be this low, right?]

[I've tried sending the information several times, but the result displayed is always "read but no reply," with no confirmation...]

[What should I do?]

By this point, Xie Kang's handwriting had started to become careless, losing the composure of the past days.

Yet this still wasn't the most careless.

In the last section, due to immense panic and fright, he couldn't maintain his previous strong handwriting, with his penmanship becoming chaotic.

[Experiment Log 12]

[Time: May 2077]

[Recorded by: Xie Kang...]

[I'm finished]

[The base is starting to experience power outages, and the surveillance is also down]

[I now know nothing of the outside situation, as if locked in a cage as a death row inmate, can only hear the sound of the monster smashing the door...]

[As I write these lines, the monster has discovered my location, relentlessly pounding the door and even took up tools, hacking out a crack in the door]

[The door is indeed sturdy, with an explosion-resistant rating at least at police-level, but even police equipment can't withstand 24-hour door smashing!]

[I think, I might be finished...]

[But it's okay]

[Having conducted so many human experiments, while I fear death, I was long prepared for the unexpected]

[I bought experimental insurance in advance, so even if I die, my son and grandson will receive huge compensation and might even enter the company]

[Barely worth it...]

[Now, let me take a gentle look, to see how far the monster I created has grown]

[...]

[The door has been torn open, it's in]

[I can roughly survive a minute... or 30 seconds?]

[So dark, the laboratory suddenly went dark]

[Can't see... can't see anything, only widen my eyes, watching as I blindly jot down these words]

[Oh, I still have a signal flare in my pocket! Let's use this to see its form]

[...]

[...]

[How...]

[How is this... possible?]

[Impossible, impossible? How could this be... how could this...]

The log abruptly stops, leaving only large swathes of already dried bloodstains and "monster" written with blood.

No one knows what Xie Kang saw in the end.

But the fate of this researcher is laid bare before Yun You and the others.

Dead at the hands of the monster he created, without even leaving a whole corpse.

This indeed counts as... karma.
