Sheffield and his team came to the containment area where Containment Object No. 4, the Panacea, was housed.
Investigator Donald is currently conducting experiments on the containment object.
After completing the last mission of memetic contamination, he has been trying to figure out the various properties of the contained objects.
Seeing his old friend Sheffield arriving, he hurried forward to greet him.
"Sheffield, what are you doing here?"
Sheffield said: "Check the properties of the contained objects. If the properties match, I will request a call from above."
Donald nodded and did not delve further.
Investigators do things without asking questions if they can.
Sometimes, the more you know, the quicker you die.
Donald led the three Sheffields into the room.
There are very few furnishings in the room, but they are obviously centered on the elixir bottle placed in the center of the room.
Donald said: "The above named this drug a panacea because according to our experiments, it can cure any disease."
Sheffield looked at the containment object.
Unlike the extremely dangerous shelters he had seen before, this one looked extremely safe.
The reason why we can say this.
Because based on its appearance, the "Panax" is just an ordinary medicine bottle.
Usually, the manufacturer is stamped on the surface of the medicine bottle.
Produced by the Third Pharmaceutical Company of the Glorious Holy See of the Empire of Gods, Laboratory No. 456.
Also printed on the back of the medicine bottle is the qualification license from the Holy See’s Drug Supervision Department.
It is not difficult to imagine that this medicine bottle was still an ordinary medicine bottle one second before it became a contained object.
But the moment it becomes a contained object, it is destined to no longer be a mortal object.
Sheffield asked: "I took this thing into my custody. Its original owner said that this bottle of medicine can cure all diseases. Is that true?"
Donald smiled bitterly.
"At the beginning, we also thought that if sick people took pills, the disease would heal within a few hours. After many experiments, we found that things were not that simple."
Xie Feier raised his eyebrows.
"It's not that simple? Why do you say that?"
Donald touched the transparent metal hemisphere that sealed the elixir and looked at the pills inside.
"The complexity lies in the definition of the concept of "disease."
Donald opened the magic interactive machine and called up the custom information of each race for Sheffield to see.
"For the elves, the fever that is fatal to humans is a courtship ritual for them."
"Human cancer was an incurable disease before the advent of magic, but it is the source of the slime family's regenerative ability."
"Diseases of some races are normal for some races, and incurable diseases of some races are even just a ritual for other races."
"The definition of the so-called cure for all diseases is too vague. In order to find out the properties of the panacea, we have conducted thousands of experiments."
Sheffield frowned, he discovered the problem in Donald's words.
"Thousands of experiments? Could it be that that bottle of medicine still has the function of holding the world inside its sleeve? The small bottle contains tens of thousands of pills."
Donald shook his head.
"That's not true. When we got the bottle of medicine, there were only 49 pills left, half of which was filled."
"Then how did you do it?"
Donald smiled awkwardly, as if he was recalling something bad.
"During the research, we planned carefully and divided one portion of the medicine into more than a dozen portions for use, but something happened in the middle of the process."
"A careless researcher spilled the medicine bottle when he came into contact with it, and there was no trace of it left."
"We were preparing to urgently recover the pills that fell on the ground, but at this time, we found that the pill bottles were filled with pills again."
"Experiments have proven that the effects of the regenerated pills are no different from those of the original pills. After further research, we found that the maximum number of elixirs that can exist is 120, 60 inside the bottle and 60 outside the bottle."
"If this number is exceeded, the pills will disappear randomly and return to the number of 120 pills."
Xie Feier nodded and said: "Let's continue to talk about the determination of "disease"."
"A large number of experiments have allowed us to record many diseases that can be solved by panacea, and I discovered an amazing coincidence."
“The diseases that the panacea can cure are the same as those recorded in a book established by the Glorious Holy See.
Sheffield was stunned for a moment, and then he guessed what Donald was talking about.
"You are talking about the "Encyclopedia of Diseases" compiled by the Glorious Holy See, which records diseases in an extremely comprehensive manner."
Donald nodded.
"Exactly, our experiments have basically proven this. Panacea can cure all diseases recorded in the "Encyclopedia of Diseases". If it were not for the symptoms recorded in the "Encyclopedia of Diseases," for example, the elves' low fever with a body temperature of 36.8 degrees would not be cured.
"
(It’s a second guess. Sorry, I’m really sorry, but this is not stated clearly in the scp500 file.)
Donald closed the magic interactor and looked at Panacea.
"This is the nature of the panacea we figured out."
Cassel spread his hands and looked at Brigitte Lin with a slightly contented look.
"I told you that the method of treating the "plague" won't work. The "plague" cured by the epidemic doctor must not be recorded in the "Encyclopedia of Diseases"."
At this moment, Sheffield's cold voice came.
"Shut up."
He suddenly entered a state of meditation and did not want to be interrupted.
Cassell had no choice but to shut up quickly.
Sheffield thought about it for a long time.
During this time, Kassel himself wanted to ask Scheifele what he was doing.
But Lin Qingxia seemed to have realized something. After telling Cassell to shut up, he also started to think about it.
Finally, Sheffield finished thinking. He took out the magic interactive machine and looked up some information.
"The Encyclopedia of Diseases has been revised a total of 107 times, and a large number of newly discovered diseases will be added each time."
"If the diseases that the panacea can cure are limited to those recorded in the Encyclopedia of Diseases, then why does the panacea have an impact on the puppet "little animals" transformed by the epidemic doctors?"
"That disease is not recorded in the Encyclopedia of Diseases."
Sheffield patted Donald on the shoulder and said solemnly: "The nature of your summary may not be comprehensive."
Donald hammered his head in frustration.
"This damn and inexplicable contained object... Tsk, then I will overturn my conclusion and test it again."
Sheffield rejected Donald's statement.
"What I mean is that the diseases that Panacea cures and the Encyclopedia of Diseases are more than just a coincidence."
Lin Qingxia also nodded, and her eyes couldn't help but light up.
He looked at Sheffield, as if he was asking for something with his eyes.
Sheffield nodded, confirming.
Donald also showed an expression of sudden realization and looked at Sheffield gratefully.
Donald: "I see, that's what it is."
Brigitte Lin: "Is that so? The nature of the contained objects is really weird."
Cassel's face was full of questions at this moment.
"Can any of you explain to me what you really understand?"
