"...No way?" The friend in the next seat was frightened. "You, are you kidding? Are you kidding?"
The subconscious reaction of normal people is like this. They only think that Mervyn Bai must be joking. Who would receive death threats suddenly
Mervyn Bai slowly drank a whole glass of water, took some more, and then smiled and said, "Hey, young man, why are you so easy to deceive? Do you believe this kind of thing?"
"Oh, oh—" The man patted his chest, and said angrily: "I'll just say, how is it possible! But your face just now was really not good-looking, I thought... Are you really okay?"
This kind friend was still a little worried, and hesitantly asked again: "If you encounter any trouble, don't hold back, you can talk about it in a convenient way. If we sit in a row like this, we can be considered brothers and sisters. , I was so frightened by you just now that I suddenly feel that dismissal is not a big deal anymore, fuck it."
"Thank you." Mervyn Bai said, "It's really a joke, I just received some... old photos."
As he spoke, he flipped the screen over and shook it in front of the friend.
There are indeed some pictures on the screen.
Mervyn Bai didn't slide his finger down, so he could only see the top one.
One was particularly lively, with three slightly chubby puppies huddled together with their wet eyes open. Next to the clean and soft nest is a floor-to-ceiling window, where a long-haired cat spreads itself out to bask in the sun.
"What is this?" the friend asked. "Do you have a pet?"
Mervyn Bai retracted the screen, looked down for a while, nodded and said, "Well, it's gone now."
"what… "
The man looked apologetic, looking like he wanted to comfort but didn't know where to start, so he patted Mervyn Bai's shoulder, "Did he go away from illness or?"
This man speaks a little straight, but not annoying.
Mervyn Bai: "No, it's not sick. After raising it for many years, I gave it away."
The man breathed a sigh of relief, and said curiously, "It looks cute, why did you give it away?"
Mervyn Bai was silent for a while, then briefly explained: "Because of some work, my son..."
He got stuck while talking, and then continued: "My son went on a fasting diet for two days because of this."
"You still have a son?" the man asked subconsciously.
Mervyn Bai: "Yeah, but it's gone now."
"… "
The man felt that what he asked today was poisonous.
"Oh, don't think too much." Mervyn Bai added, "I won't go home when I grow up."
"… "
The man still didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only pat Mervyn Bai's shoulder again, "I'm old, I have my own thoughts. That little devil in my family is only 13 years old, and he's already scrambling to the east and west every day. ."
Mervyn Baihen laughed.
…
After a few small chats, the man had already forgotten about the "threat email" and the like, as well as Mervyn Bai's unsightly face, and only remembered that he had met a passenger who could chat well.
Before long, the shuttle docked at the port of Decama.
Passengers who had been stuck in space for days poured out of the gate.
Mervyn Bai did not follow the flow of people to the driving center, but sat down in a cafe in the port.
He found a corner by the window and reopened the email in the dazzling noon sun.
Under the photo of cats and dogs, there are actually some photos of various animals. Unlike pet cats and dogs, they are all raised in special laboratories.
More than two decades ago, when Mervyn Bai had not quit his job, he would travel between these purpose-built laboratories many times a day.
In terms of drug research, it is normal to raise some experimental organisms, and they have long been used to it.
But for a few years, the research center of his hospital suddenly became very "anxious", and the research progress was rushed forward like crazy. Multiple lines in parallel.
It's like someone whipping a whip across the back of the entire research team.
Since then, Mervyn Bai has become more and more confused, and sometimes he can't even figure out what the whole team is working on. Because different online researchers can only touch some of them, but cannot see the whole.
And because of the multi-line parallel relationship, the busyness of the laboratory has suddenly doubled several times.
In the past, only at the critical stage of the experiment, they would select some specially raised experimental animals to test the results. Those two years were different. All the creatures in the special laboratory were in an "abnormal state".
So during that time, he shuttled back and forth in the laboratory full of "madmen" almost every day.
Sometimes the animals that were lying on their stomachs for the last second would suddenly pounce on the glass cover and hit the glass hard with their heads or bodies. If it hits hard, blood will suddenly splatter from the nose and mouth, smear a large piece, then stop breathing, and slowly become cold and stiff.
Once or twice a day or two is fine. If it happens every moment of the day and there is no room to breathe, it will become a long and deep mental torture.
Mervyn Bai felt that he was beginning to be abnormal, his temper became worse, and he was depressed and anxious, which was almost the opposite of his nature.
Later, even when he returned home, he would have auditory hallucinations from time to time, as if the screams and barks were still lingering in his ears and lingering.
Over time, he began to reject all animals, and he shunned the pets at home.
Not because of hate, but because he was worried that he would accidentally hurt them one day.
…
More than 20 years have passed, and he has almost forgotten all the professional content. But when he saw these photos again, he seemed to smell the unique smell of some laboratory...
He has a big heart that doesn't care about everything, and there are not many things that can touch him.
The person who sends the email really catches the weak spot.
First pull him back to twenty years ago, and then take advantage of it.
After these photos are some document screenshots, the focus of the screenshots is on the signature page, and the handwriting on the page is all too familiar to Mervyn Bai.
Because it was his own signature.
The contents of these documents were not captured together, and he could not recall which documents he had signed for a while.
But the body of the email "euphemistically" stated that if Mervyn Bai insisted on revealing some unnecessary things, he would only get two results -
An unseemly funeral.
Or, stand in the dock together.
"It couldn't be more ridiculous to put yourself in prison, right? I believe that Mr. Mervyn Bai is smart enough not to make such a stupid choice."
Mervyn Bai's eyes swept over the last sentence of the email, and leaned back on the chair with his arms folded.
…
The high-end analyzer in the Linyuan Laboratory of Ivy Hospital worked quietly all night.
Lin Yuan didn't listen to Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan's words and went back to rest, but slept on and off on the chair in the research room all night.
It was just early 4am when the analyzer suddenly beeped twice.
The voice is not loud, but it still has a great sense of presence for doctors who have not been able to sleep well all the year round.
The man in the chair was paralyzed for a few seconds, then turned over and sat up like a corpse.
Lin Yuan scratched the chicken coop with his hair, and squinted close to the analyzer screen.
The segment cut from Yan Suizhi's gene developed a line in the analyzer. This is the result of a simulation prediction, and it measures what this gene segment will become if it has been researched and developed.
One of these may be the development line of the research done by the Manson brothers.
Lin Yuan read the specific data of each stage one by one, and then asked the analyzer to build a gene fragment model based on the data, and then matched it in the patient gene bank of the entire Ivy Hospital.
Five minutes later, a message popped up on the matching interface.
When he saw that message, Dr. Lin Yuan, who was used to being gentle and gentle, almost opened his mouth.
Without saying a word, he turned to Yan Suizhi's number on his smartphone.
The communication was dialed out, and he suddenly realized that it was 4:00 in the morning. He heard that the two lawyers made another trip to the police station after seeing the client, and also went to a scene in Decama, which may not have taken a long rest.
Being woken up just after falling asleep is definitely not a good experience.
Lin Yuan suppressed his mood, and was about to withdraw the communication request and endure it until the daytime. Unexpectedly, the communication was connected after just two beeps.
Gu Yan's voice came from inside, slightly hoarse with drowsiness: "Hello, Doctor Lin?"
Lin Yuan: "..."
He called up the screen again and glanced at it. The communication note was Yan Suizhi.
Lin Yuan: "????"
