Chapter 464 Doubt (please vote for the big chapter)
Officer Zaidi has already left the institute with his people.
Coles also sat in front of Reid.
The old professor looked at Rhett calmly, "I think I am qualified to see the most precious materials in the institute."
At this moment, there was no sound from He Ao in his earphones. After entering the safe, all signals were isolated.
But he didn't panic. He Ao had anticipated this situation from the beginning and warned him to stay calm no matter what happened.
Coles doesn’t really know anything. He is an old professor who only wants to do research. He knows very well what kind of attitude he should maintain now.
"Of course, Professor, you are qualified to become a core member of the project, but you should also know that I cannot develop those project data to you before you have the core authority,"
Having said this, Rhett looked at the old professor in front of him and frowned slightly, "Professor, you seem a little excited?"
Coles' tone was a little too fast. After failing to enter the safe door, he should have been frustrated or annoyed, instead of the slightly excited and upbeat tone now.
"Frustration can't solve any problem," Coles said without changing his face. "I am now full of energy to get into the core of the project. I don't think you will wait until the day I die to let me see the most critical information?"
This sentence already has a slightly threatening tone.
"Professor, don't get excited," Rhett smiled, as if thinking about something, he walked back to the chair step by step, "You also know that the group will not treat anyone who works for him badly."
"Reed," Coles suddenly looked at Rhett and said softly, "I remember the first time I met you was at the school's scholarship award ceremony. You won the first-class scholarship. At that time, I was sitting in the first place as a guest.
Platoon, you said that your dream is to change the world and save more people from disease."
"Senior Brother Coles, which medical student has not had the ideal of treating illnesses, saving lives, and helping the world by hanging pots?"
Rhett leisurely picked up the coffee on the table and slowly brought it to his mouth, "But people always have to bow to reality."
He took a sip of coffee and said, "I still remember that our teacher would give every new student a warning, 'Keep your ideals, but also respect reality.' Although when I was a graduate student, you had already graduated for more than ten years and became the school's leader.
teacher,"
His eyes rested on Coles' cheek,
"There are diseases in this world that cannot be cured by human power, and there are also deaths that have to be faced. This is the reality.
“An important dividing line for human growth is to realize the reality of the world, to realize that some things cannot be changed through hard work, and to realize that one is not the hero who changes the world in the story, but the ordinary people walking numbly around the hero.
"
Having said this, he put down the coffee cup in his hand and looked at Coles, "Ideals have boundaries, senior brother."
Coles fell silent.
He and Coles had the same mentor.
"We are born with different destinies. The children of poor people will still be poor, the children of workers will still be workers, the son of a grocer will inherit the grocer, the son of a senator will be a senator, and the son of a rich man will still be a rich man."
Rhett stood up and leaned on his desk, "This is the reality of this world. Some things are not born and will never be."
He moved his gaze out the window. The fiery red sunset was falling into the city skyline, and the sunset glow filled the sky.
"The ideal is like this beautiful sunshine. It is beautiful and comfortable, but it cannot fill the stomach and will eventually sink into the silent night."
"I remember you worked as a 'medicine bag doctor' for a while."
Coles paused for a moment and said slowly, "From then on, I started paying attention to you, and it was because of your experience that I believed in you and joined this project."
The so-called medicine bag doctors are doctors who treat poor people who have no money to treat their diseases for free.
These doctors walk in the darkest corners of the city, accompanying themselves with the stench of disease.
Many of their 'service recipients' cannot afford not only medical treatment, but also medical expenses, so the medicine bag doctors often buy some herbal medicines or pharmaceutical raw materials from wilderness hunters and some drug dealers, and prepare some simple medicines for free.
Issued to patients.
These medicines are usually not small in size and not very good-looking. They are carried by doctors in a big pocket and carried on their backs or hung on their waists while walking down the street.
This is also the origin of the name Medicine Bag Doctor.
"Yeah, so it's 'once'." Rhett smiled, as if he remembered something, he shook his head gently,
"And how do you know that the money I spend to 'purchase' the lives of those 'patients' and let them participate in the experiment is not a kind of salvation for them? Compared with a painful life, a happy death is also a kind of relief.
"
He looked at Coles and said, "Okay, senior brother Coles, the game of changing the subject to delay time is over. I think you should take a rest."
Rhett raised his hand, and two heavily armed mercenaries rushed into the room quickly.
"Help 'take care' of Professor Coles."
Two mercenaries quickly stepped forward to control Coles and took off Coles' bracelet.
"Let me go!"
Coles struggled violently, "Reed, you have no right to restrict my personal freedom."
At this moment, Rhett had turned and walked towards the door. He heard Coles shouting, but did not respond.
He rubbed his wrist and walked to the elevator next to the office that went directly to the sixth underground floor.
Coles' reaction was a little strange. Normally Coles would never talk about these old events.
This abnormality made him feel uneasy, and he wanted to go to the safe to have a look.
——
The dark screen slowly lit up, showing a simple startup page.
Although this old-fashioned screen is not as cool as the holographic projection screen, the advantage is that it is durable and not easily damaged.
He Ao stood in front of the screen, watching the boot animation flash by.
Immediately afterwards, an identity verification interface appeared in his field of vision.
This verification also requires biometric verification and a password.
The appearance of this interface was not beyond He Ao's expectation. It is unreasonable that this kind of computer that stores confidential information has no identity verification and can be used by anyone who opens it.
The thoughts in He Ao's mind were spinning rapidly, and then he stretched his hand to the edge of the screen and fumbled around.
When he touched the lower edge of the screen, he paused, then briefly turned on super memory and glanced around.
After that, he took two steps back and shut down the computer.
As the screen gradually went out, He Ao's eyes shifted to the huge supercomputer.
Naturally, storing a little data does not require the computing power of such a huge supercomputer. In addition to data processing, most of the functions of this computer are probably used to deal with hackers' brute-force cracking of encryption systems.
However, this kind of computing power is not difficult for Eve, who has a huge server matrix. As long as enough time is given, Eve should be able to crack the security system of this computer.
The only problem is that there is no signal in the safe, and Heao has no way to connect to Eve.
If it doesn't work, He Ao will have no choice but to try to move the entire computer and let Eve crack it when there is a network. Then the original plan will have to be adjusted.
He Ao thought for a moment, took two steps back, and prepared not to touch the computer for the time being.
Then he walked to the big refrigerator.
Unlike the previous officer Zach, who ran directly to the top shelf where the test tubes were placed, He Aoxian squatted down and carefully inspected each test tube rack under the refrigerator.
The openings for placing test tubes in these test tube racks are very new, and the degree of aging is different from the racks outside.
He Ao turned on his super memory and took a glance. Many of the traces on it were produced recently, which proves that test tubes were placed on these shelves for a long time.
Just for some reason, these test tubes were taken away 'recently'.
So what is in the test tube?
He Ao raised his head and looked at the two potions on the top.
On the left is a translucent milky white liquid. According to the old patriarch of the Andavi family, this should be a stable dilution of the Fountain of Youth. Coles called it the elixir of life.
On the right is a red potion flowing with a faint glow.
Among them, the seven darkest-colored potions have been taken away by the officers, and there are still about thirteen lighter-colored potions left.
He Ao took out a pair of gloves from his pocket, put them on his hands, and took out a potion.
This test tube is not a special transparent test tube like the life potion, but a test tube that looks similar to an ordinary mithril test tube.
He Ao carefully observed the medicines in the test tube. These medicines gave him a very familiar feeling... like... the secret medicine of the 'Warrior' pathway.
This color depth is almost the same as the color depth of the 'Martial Artist' secret potion of the D-level talent sequence of the warrior pathway. The color depth of the seven reagents taken away by the officers is similar to the color depth of the 'Warrior' secret potion.
In addition, the officers went to 'siege' He Ao and took away seven medicines.
He Ao roughly judged that these red medicines were the strengthening medicines used by the team that besieged He Ao in the wilderness to enhance physical fitness.
As early as when the five people besieged He Ao, He Ao guessed that Red had a strengthening potion that could forcibly increase combat effectiveness, and based on this, he set up a trap to induce Red to open the safe himself.
But now that he actually came into contact with this strengthening potion that seemed to violate extraordinary laws, He Ao was still a little surprised.
All the extraordinary knowledge in his mind, whether it was the knowledge from Ronal's wilderness wanderers, or the secret knowledge from Vian, heard from his personal doctor, all of them mentioned that the talent sequence is the current human
The only extraordinary power that can be mastered.
Of course, He Ao himself also knew about an extraordinary power called martial arts.
Judging from the extraordinary beings He Ao has come into contact with so far, it seems that no one can do without these two paths.
But now it seems that Qunxing Pharmaceutical has found a third way.
He Ao placed the potion in front of his eyes and shook it gently, causing the red liquid inside to rotate slightly.
This seems to be a way to improve your strength by relying on medicine.
He Ao opened his consciousness and tentatively immersed himself in the test tube.
Countless chaotic and twisted thoughts rushed into his mind in an instant. The small test tube suddenly vibrated. In the field of vision of his spiritual consciousness, energy surged in the test tube like breathing, as if it was about to rush out of the test tube at any time.
, Devour everything.
At that moment, He Ao withdrew his consciousness.
This is not an extraordinary potion at all, but a 'stable energy' that forcibly blends various chaotic forces through a certain proportion of the Fountain of Youth water and 'qi'.
Even He Ao thought this was a bit crazy.
Judging from these blending ratios, the effective principle of this strengthening potion is to pour huge extraordinary power directly into the human body in an instant, and then forcibly reconcile these powers through the Fountain of Youth and 'qi', so that it can be controlled by the human body.
But the cost is expensive.
Because along with the extraordinary, there is not only power, but also madness.
Just by touching this medicine, He Ao can feel the twisted and crazy will contained in it. People who take this medicine may be able to stay sane for a short time, but in a few hours, or even less than a few hours, they will completely
He lost his mind and completely transformed into a twisted monster.
This situation reminded He Ao of another way to quickly obtain extraordinary power, 'divine grace'.
By making sacrifices, cultists directly pray to the gods for powerful power. This is the simplest prayer for sacrifice and the easiest to satisfy.
But not everyone can receive God’s gift.
Only a small number of people can be lucky enough to obtain a stable talent sequence through divine grace. Most people will be directly overwhelmed by the extraordinary power given by the gods. The moment they obtain divine grace, they will be completely twisted into crazy monsters.
There are even legends in the wilderness: cultists alienated by "divine grace" are the origins of certain humanoid beasts.
Of course, this is just a legend, and no one has actually verified it.
Gods do not care about the life and death of believers. When believers pray for divine grace, they will give them divine grace, even if this divine grace is far beyond the believer's ability to bear.
Of course, perhaps, turning into a twisted monster is indeed a gift from the gods.
For those indescribable gods, looking at twisted monsters may be more pleasing to the eye than looking at rational humans.
The 'strengthening potion' in He Ao's hand is similar to the 'divine grace', except that Qunxing Pharmaceutical has found a way to neutralize the madness and violence, allowing these terrifying forces to have a period of stability in which they can be controlled.
'.
Although in the end it all leads to a crazy and violent ending.
The medicine in the test tube gradually stabilized.
This is not a stable path to transcendence.
All cruel pleasures will eventually end in cruelty.
He Ao put the medicine back into the test tube rack.
Since this strengthening potion is contained in a test tube that looks similar to an ordinary mithril test tube, and the outer layer of the entire test tube is also wrapped with a layer of mithril spacer strips, the traces placed on the test tube rack are not complete traces.
It is different from the traces left by the lower refrigerator.
The test tube rack opening marks on the lower layer are more uniform, more like the marks of the life potion test tubes.
That is to say,
He Ao moved his eyes to the life potion on the left.
This refrigerator was most likely filled with 'potions of life' not long ago.
Click——
At this moment, a soft sound came from not far away from He Ao.
He raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound.
The silver metal door slowly opened.
