On the evening of May 30, in a forgotten small biological laboratory on the outskirts of Kansas City, four experimenters were working hard in front of their own data.
These four people are an old man, a blonde beauty, a black young man and a handsome white young man. The old man is a professor, and the other three are his subordinates. However, although the atmosphere in the laboratory is tense, , there is no tense atmosphere like other laboratories.
Not only that, it can be seen from the excited expressions on the faces of these four people that this experiment has achieved fruitful results and has come to an end.
At this moment, the blonde beauty suddenly took out a fluorescent blue test tube from the incubator in front of her. She picked it up with a test tube clamp, then excitedly placed it in front of the old man, and said at the same time, "Ah Professor Irvine, the sample compound has been isolated..."
"Very good, ready to be dripped into the experimental model."
The old man known as Professor Kelvin said quickly, and then he called the other people who were busy, "Kate, Kefir, come and see, Jennifer has separated the compound!"
The handsome young man and the black young man quickly gathered together. The four of them gathered in front of a petri dish, and then watched the blonde beauty drop a drop of reagent into the petri dish...
"I come!"
The handsome young man picked up the petri dish without hesitation, put it under an electron microscope and observed it, and then shouted, "Look, after dropping the compound, the IL-1β in the petri dish was actually inhibited!"
Everyone looked at the screen next to them, and sure enough, they saw that the particles in the petri dish were being continuously dissolved by the drop of compound, just like washing powder dissolving stains, very quickly...
"Not only that, the Aβ deposits are also constantly being dissolved!"
The old professor on the side sighed, "Kate, we may have made a big discovery..."
Kate nodded, with a touch of excitement in her eyes, "Obviously, this is what you have been pursuing, Professor Erwin... I didn't expect that no drug developed by any pharmaceutical company in the world would actually be used by us. This small workshop has developed..."
"This honor belongs to you, Professor Kelvin..."
Seeing this scene, the blonde beauty cried with joy. She stepped forward and hugged the old man, and then said, "We will also benefit from you!"
The four people all looked excited and emotional. Although they had long been mentally prepared for the success of the drug, when this day came, everyone felt a sense of trance and unreality in their hearts.
"This is not my work alone."
The old man touched the heads of the three of them and said happily, "Besides me, whether it's you, Kate, or Kefir, you have also made huge contributions to this medicine!"
"Professor Erwin, the most important thing now is to think of a name for this new drug."
At this moment, the black young man suddenly said, "You are the founder of the drug, you should come up with this name!"
"That's right!"
Everyone nodded as a matter of course.
"This drug is very likely to be the first drug in human history that can perfectly cure Alzheimer's disease. In this case, let's just call it..."
The old man thought for a while and then said, "Or, let's call it AD-001!"
"yeah!"
The three young men cheered loudly.
"etc!"
But at this moment, the old man seemed to have thought of something. His expression suddenly tightened and he quickly stopped everyone, "You three little guys, now is not the time to celebrate. Now I need one of you to help me do something." ! ”
"one thing?"
The three of them looked at him in confusion, wondering why Professor Erwin, who should be celebrating, was so serious.
"I hope someone will make a trip on my behalf and deliver this bottle of medicine and information to Los Angeles and to the hands of a man named Parker on the company's board of directors..."
The old man looked serious. He turned to look at Kate, "Kate, can you complete this task?"
"Wait a minute, if it's the board of directors, why don't you send it in person? The information is simpler, just send it directly to it soon?"
Kate was a little confused, and he spread his hands, "Why do you need to deliver it in person?"
"well… "
Hearing this, Professor Erwin couldn't help but sigh, "You and Jennifer are both transferred from other companies. You may not know that part of our company's equity has been maliciously acquired by another company, and even the board of directors has been acquired by another company." It has penetrated... and that company is far more powerful than us. Once data is transmitted through the network, it will most likely be intercepted by the other party!"
"I know, could it be that famous one..."
The black young man beside him was about to say something when Professor Erwin covered his mouth.
Seeing this scene, Kate and the blonde beauty looked at each other, with a solemn look in their eyes.
Professor Erwin continued, "The most important thing is that the other party also has a similar plan to deal with Alzheimer's disease. We must not let the drug developed from this research fall into their pockets. Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
Kate nodded immediately after hearing this, "In that case, let me deliver it, and for insurance purposes, I will go to Los Angeles by car, so that even if the other party knows, they can't catch me at the airport. "
"very good… "
Professor Erwin nodded happily. He took out a USB flash drive and put all the data about the drugs into it. Then he pressed the button to clear all information in the laboratory, so that all information about AD- in the laboratory could be cleared. All information about 001 has been completely deleted.
Then, he poured all the liquid in the test tube into a finger-sized sealed bottle. Suddenly, a blue fluorescent glass bottle appeared in front of Professor Erwin. He solemnly handed the sealed bottle to Kate. , and showed a kind smile at the same time, "Go, kid! The sooner you start, the better!"
Kate nodded heavily, then he put away the sealed bottle, said hello to everyone, and quickly left the laboratory.
…
However, what everyone didn't know was that the moment they developed AD-001, everything about the drug had been intercepted by a mysterious entity on the Internet.
Not only that, in a building far away in the suburbs of Los Angeles, there is a room without any doors or windows. This room is located on the middle floor of the building, in a building gap. It relies on the illusion produced by humans to separate the rooms in the entire building. Come out of such a room.
Both the walls and the floor of this room are almost entirely made of pure white. The only piece of furniture in the room is a black ball.
At this time, in the silent pure white room, suddenly, the black ball in the center made a low running sound, as if some machinery inside started to operate. The next second, the black ball suddenly shot out a ball of blue. The light spreads in all directions!
Chi chi chi…
As the black ball operates, the light scattered by the black ball is like a 3D printer. Nine figures appear directly in the blue light. When the blue light dissipates, there are nine more people in the room.
Among the nine people, all of them were wearing a variety of clothes, and they didn't look anything special. However, if you look closely, you will find that these people are all wearing uniform black gloves and a pair of black leather boots.
Even the same black collars can be seen on their collars. It is obvious that under the coats of this group of people, there is a uniform black special clothing.
Among the nine people, the leader was a young man with a stern expression. He had short black hair and eyes as sharp and cold as swords.
At this time, the young man suddenly took a step forward, and he walked directly towards the wall in front of him. However, something even more strange happened. As the young man took a step forward, the wall in front of him opened in response, revealing an empty room behind the wall. .
There is a floor-to-ceiling window installed on the outside of the room. Looking out through the window, you can even see neon lights that are as bright as stars in the distance.
Different from Namibia's time zone, Namibia is located in the East Zone 1, while Los Angeles is located in the West Zone 8. There is a ten-hour time difference between the two.
At this time, it was still early morning in Namibia, while Los Angeles had already entered the night.
Leading the eight people behind him out of the secret room, the young man couldn't help but look around, with a faint twinkle in his eyes, "Yes, this is Los Angeles, X, how is the situation over there in Kansas City?"
"In Osmond Biotech's Kansas City laboratory, Professor Erwin has successfully developed AD-001, and everything is exactly the same as in the movie. Professor Erwin has deleted it because he is concerned about our existence. I have collected all the original data and only kept a backup copy, ready to be sent to the company’s board of directors together with AD-001.”
From the earphones, Little X's oriole-like voice came. As time went by, Little
"Sure enough, the plot in the movie really happened."
Chen Chen walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, his expression neither sad nor happy, "In this case, let's not break the plot for the time being and let the plot maintain its original trajectory."
"Understood, the first group of black knights went to Kansas City yesterday and have now arrived there and captured Professor Erwin and his assistant Kefir."
Xiao X replied.
"Erwin is an elite in the field of biology, remember to tie him back."
Chen Chen nodded, then changed his words and said in a deep voice, "But you have to remember that you don't have to hold back when letting the Black Knight chase that Kate. You must try your best to kill the opponent. I want to see, in Without violating the plot flow, can I kill the protagonist of the movie?"
"clear!"
Little X agreed, "What about you now?"
"I'm going to the headquarters of Osmond Biological Corporation to meet the man named Pike."
Chen Chen said casually, "By the way, wait and see."
As he spoke, he opened the floor-to-ceiling window in front of him, and suddenly a strong wind came in.
"Wait a minute, Your Majesty the Godfather..."
Just when Chen Chen was about to fly out directly, Xiao X suddenly hesitated to speak.
Hearing Xiao X's voice, Chen Chen immediately stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I found out from the police network that a very strange serial murder occurred in Los Angeles. It occurred in the Highland Park Warehouse District, only a few kilometers away from here..."
Little X said, "There is something wrong with this matter."
"What's wrong?"
Chen Chen's expression condensed. As the fastest supercomputer in the world, if Xiao X could make her feel something was wrong, that meant something was really wrong.
"The location of the crime is the Heilanke Warehouse District. There are countless items gathered there from all over the world, some from within the district and some from outside the district. Even the industrial park of our Life Science City has a certain amount of international trade with it. contacts."
Little
"I thought this was just an accidental phenomenon. The Los Angeles police just retreated after investigating and collecting evidence. However, just last night, the case suddenly escalated, and eight people died again in one night, and these eight people all died in the same way. , all of them died with their necks broken, and some even had their spines pulled out.”
Hearing this, Chen Chen couldn't help but look solemn, "Twist your neck? X, do you suspect this is an abnormal murder case?"
"I don't know, I just feel like Los Angeles has always been safe, but as we arrived, something like this suddenly happened."
Xiao X explained, "So I wondered, are these changes related to our action this time?"
"maybe."
Chen Chen did not directly deny it. He raised his head and felt the strong wind blowing in. "Maybe this is just a coincidence, maybe it is really related to the plot of the movie, but we can't stop action just because of this abnormality, otherwise it will be easy Break the plot.”
"I'm not sure what will happen if I break the plot. Maybe nothing will happen, or it may have a worse chain reaction, or even be rejected by the rules of the world, just like "The God of Death" is directly killed by the rules of the world. , but it still requires a little trial and error."
As he spoke, Chen Chen suddenly sighed, then raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "X, didn't you notice? Are we now the same as before, groping for the rules of the USB flash drive little by little?"
"Yes… "
Little X nodded uneasily.
"For that magical USB flash drive, when we think we know enough about it, it can always show more changes, just like an iceberg floating on the sea. You will never know that this iceberg is on the sea level. Below, how many hidden parts are there..."
Chen Chen narrowed his eyes and said silently, "It's the same now. If I want to control the USB flash drive, I must continue to explore more rules. Unless I would rather stop moving forward, this is a path we cannot escape."
"I get it, we're not getting away from this."
In the headset, Xiao X's voice became serious.
"very good."
Chen Chen smiled and said, "Contact Adam, the computer at the Earth Federation headquarters, and ask him to make a prediction to see who is the murderer behind this murder. This is the only thing we can do now. Everything else is as usual. action!"
"clear!"
As Xiao
Suddenly, there was only a pool of scattered water mist left outside the building, but Chen Chen's figure completely disappeared without a trace!
