Chapter 238 The core theory of the 'Hungry Ghost Apocalypse' catastrophe
With a spiritual vision nearby, the path inside the door and possible dangerous passes can be seen at a panoramic view.
Jiang Qian went down the stairs and gradually went deeper.
The underground tunnel was a little longer, but he quickly discovered the "New World":
After arriving at the open space along the corridor, Jiang Qian found that this seemed to be an activity area extending from the patient activity room above. It was filled with games, interactive facilities, and even toys.
The degree of damage here is obviously less than that of the outside, and the items and furnishings are relatively intact.
Jiang Qian took out the photo album obtained from the dean's office and compared the background image on the album with the scene.
"Well, it's somewhat similar..."
He paused for a moment, put away the photo album, and moved on.
The second area started to get weird. The room was equipped with cages of different sizes from small to large. The cages were equipped with chains and whipping-type punishment tools were hung next to them.
However, no bones were found here.
This means that some indescribable projects may have been implemented here, but they were abandoned before the disaster. Therefore, after the disaster, there were no valuable traces left on the site.
"Patient, doctor, cage and chains... interesting."
Jiang Qian continued to move forward and finally came to an area that interested him: a place similar to a multi-functional living room.
There is a large screen for display, a couch, a coffee table and a desk. There are also computers and projectors on the table.
Jiang Qian went straight to the desk. In addition to some cultural supplies and electronic equipment that could not be turned on, there was also a potted plant on the table.
The locked drawer had been opened roughly recently, but the contents inside were neat.
"Is there a pit?"
Jiang Qian thought of the possibility of being dug into by his opponent.
"Let's show off the tricks..."
He smiled slightly, quickly sorted out the items in the drawer, and got a bunch of keys and some handwritten information.
Go through the information while it's hot.
It records an interesting experimental conjecture and related experimental processes:
One of the practical solutions to explore the fusion of species: a methodology to fundamentally transform humans into another species.
To put it simply, this is: This mysterious scholar believes that there is the same core between different species. By mastering this fundamental core, different species can be domesticated and unified.
He therefore proposed three directions:
First, rewrite the gene source code to achieve species transformation through genetic science; the annotation result is: failure.
Second, through artificial domestication, species transformation is achieved; the labeling result is also: failure.
The third direction is a bit mysterious. It uses occult formulas and stimulation to achieve species transformation; the marked result is: success!
The information records the details of successful cases: a certain "mysterious extract" was used to stimulate a human experimenter suffering from "mental illness", which ultimately led to a fundamental change in the physical characteristics of the experimenter.
However, the definition of "success" in this experiment is relatively vague, and it is more likely to be understood as converting species A to species B into species C.
…
It is understandable that a scientist who is not called a madman has no chance of being remembered by history, not to mention that this is a mental hospital... Jiang Qian read all the information without changing his expression and felt deeply inspired.
Regardless of the sinfulness and ethical issues of these experiments, this set of information at least explains the reason why Elizabeth's experiment failed: the way to rewrite the genetic source code is unworkable.
Artificial domestication is even more nonsense.
The last successful case of mysticism is most likely the theoretical basis for the source of disaster.
What is gratifying is that the "mysterious extract" has also been marked with a number!
Jiang Qian searched the entire room based on the number, and finally found a row of 12 bottles of liquid extract with the same number in the safe in the freezer.
The key in the drawer previously was used to open the safe.
When 12 bottles of liquid extract were obtained, Jiang Qian, who was about to taste the "poison", heard the good news from the copy:
[Tip: Three sets of core experimental data for "Source of Catastrophe" have been retrieved: Gene Source Code*1 (invalid) Species Domestication Record Manual*1 (invalid) Mysterious Extract*12 (valid)]
[Side mission exploration progress: 50%!]
…
Well, the first advancement was the discovery of the "core character" Dr. Kate, and this time it was the "core theoretical information"... Jiang Qian was not too surprised by the sudden progress of the branch line, and continued to take out one of the extracts and opened it to taste the poison.
It is the same substance as the venom on the crawler's tail needle.
The current situation quickly formed an inference in Jiang Qian's mind:
When the mysterious extract (poison) acts on humans suffering from mental illness (human beings containing sources of mental pollution), a transformation occurs.
This is the theoretical basis for the source of disaster recognized by the copy as valid.
Just like what Jiang Qian put into practice when he rescued the residents of Ideal Town:
In the absence of a pen to assist in outputting the strange energy he has reserved, he uses the venom remaining in the infected person's body to act on the source of mental pollution he possesses, thereby adjusting the unbalanced energy structure and completing the healing operation.
Back and forth, different approaches but the same result.
But Jiang Qianqian's ability to do this also relies on the additional compatible vision obtained from the "Children's Paradise" - the visualization of energy structure.
Does this mean that there may be characters with similar abilities to him in this world, who can see the connection and practice some unethical path?
Is this possible?
Wait, the basis for Dr. Kate's diagnosis of mental illness seems to reveal clues... Jiang Qian recalled Elizabeth's description:
"My grandpa was diagnosed with a complex mental illness. It is said that he can see some indescribable hallucinations, which often makes psychiatrists shake their heads and sigh."
Jiang Qian chewed this information over and over again:
"Elizabeth also mentioned that her grandfather's theory was ethically controversial. Could it be that the operator of this experiment was Dr. Kate himself?"
"Then where do these 12 mysterious extracts come from..."
This is a question of "which came first, the chicken or the egg".
Jiang Qian looked at the sealed tube containing the "mysterious extract" in his hand, then placed it on the table and continued to check the properties of the extracts in other sealed tubes...
As he was taking the poisons one by one and tasting them, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be some kind of looming icon hidden at the bottom of the box where the extracts were placed.
Jiang Qian immediately took out the two test tubes next to him, and an interesting pattern appeared in the box.
He had seen this pattern elsewhere:
Kraken Kraken!
Jiang Qian's mind quickly flashed through Monat's solemn look and Elizabeth's description of Monat's identity.
"Interesting, the relationship between the characters in this copy is quite complicated."
Jiang Qian then put the extract away. He thought it was necessary to hurry up and go to the next information point to extract clues.
But before leaving, there is still one tail that needs to be dealt with.
His eyes once again glanced at the dinner plates placed randomly on the sofa coffee table, the starchy residue on the dinner plates, and the potatoes that had sprouted in the bonsai on the table...
Finally, his eyes stayed on the bathroom door that he had never opened, and he said in a calm tone:
"Come out by yourself, or I can go in and invite you."

Typos and flaws will be corrected first and then corrected.
