However, the notes did not mention that mermaid blood had hallucinogenic effects.
Judging from the current level of delirium among the experimental station staff, the mermaid's blood cells must contain new hallucinogens that are as strong as ergodic acid diethylamide. Only then can they pass through the layers of purification procedures and successfully drug these users who think they are safe. In other words, Lapers himself is a walking toadstool, and even his hair is full of natural hallucinogens such as psilocybin and psilocin.
However, Jiang Mian searched through Dr. Brown's notebook and did not find any trace of this. The scholars at the institute had exhausted every drop of their brain cells to speculate on the side effects of mermaid blood, even to the point of catching wind and making groundless accusations. Even so, they still did not mention any evidence related to hallucinations.
"Extremely strong ability to proliferate in vitro..." Jiang Mian's gaze stayed on this line of words. For some reason, he could sense the author's mood when he wrote it. Between the lines, his tone was hesitant and suspicious, as if he was not describing cells, but some kind of restless and vigorous living thing.
"Yes, the cell activity of the experimental subject is unprecedented in my life." Dr. Brown spoke suddenly. Jiang Mian, who had been concentrating on his studies, was so shocked that his arms trembled.
He looked up and saw that the old man's eyes were still distracted, but his smile remained unchanged, so bright that it was creepy. It seemed that his soul had fallen asleep, and his body had triggered some key words, and was forcibly pulled to respond to Jiang Mian's doubts, "Moreover, there is no pattern to their splitting, it is simply... arbitrary."
Jiang Mian closed the notebook without leaving a trace and asked cautiously: "Dr. Brown, are you talking to me?"
"Yes, Mr. Jiang," Dr. Brown replied. "Do you have any other questions? Please go ahead."
Jiang Mian was stunned and said, "Do you answer whatever I ask?"
"Yes, Mr. Jiang," Dr. Brown repeated. "Do you have any other questions? Please speak up."
Jiang Mian didn't know what strange instructions Lapers had given them subconsciously - he was well aware that the brain circuits of deep-sea mermaids were different from those of humans. However, he still seized this opportunity and tried to ask: "Since Lapers' cells are so difficult to control, why do you still insist on doing it?"
"There is still a certain chance of success in inactivation," Dr. Brown said with a smile. "Nothing is ironclad and invulnerable. We have found a way to control them. We just need patience."
Jiang Mian said: "Well, it seems you have found the wrong place."
"—On this basis," Dr. Brown ignored Jiang Mian's sarcasm, "as long as we are given time to find out the proliferation rules of mermaid cells, we can even use cloning technology to cultivate a mermaid race that is unique to humans. By then, they can become another source of food and medicine like cattle, sheep and poultry, or they can become companion pets like cats and dogs with their extraordinary intelligence and superior appearance."
Jiang Mian's eyebrows were twisted into knots. He could hardly suppress the discomfort he felt after hearing this. He said with disgust: "It's not just Fabian. Sigma's human chauvinism will harm everyone sooner or later..."
The old man's smile seemed to be firmly nailed to his pale face. He said, "For the detailed plan of this matter, please turn to the last page of the notebook."
