Open a Clinic to Cultivate Myself

Chapter 37: A retrograde person

Views:

Ning Tao thought Lin Qinghua's laboratory was in the office building he had been to, but Lin Qingyu drove him to a botanical garden in the suburbs.

This botanical garden is also the property of Blueprint Biotechnology Company. The large hillside is filled with various medicinal materials, both common and uncommon. There are also dozens of modern greenhouses, where precious plants used for scientific research are grown.

Lin Qinghua's laboratory is located in this botanical garden. It is a small complex building that uses a lot of silver materials and blue tempered glass, and has a bit of a science fiction style.

The door is a silver metal door. There is a stainless steel plaque next to the door with the words "Wentian Building" engraved on it, but the words "XX Laboratory" are not engraved on it.

Ning Tao stopped in front of the stainless steel plaque and asked curiously: "Wentianlou, why did your brother's laboratory have such a strange name?"

Lin Qingyu said: "I was also curious about why this laboratory had such a strange name. I also asked my brother, but he wouldn't tell me. I think it's just a name. Why, what do you think it means? Does it have a special meaning?"

Ning Tao shook his head, "Maybe you're right, it's just a name. Take me in and have a look."

Lin Qingyu came to the silver metal door, opened it with her magnetic card, and then led Ning Tao in.

Behind the door is a passage with several surveillance cameras installed on both sides of the passage, and the work indicators are on.

Ning Tao said: "Is there no one in this place?"

Lin Qingyu said: "There should be people there during the day. There should be only security personnel at the moment. They may be asleep. Don't worry about them. I will take you in directly."

Ning Tao followed Lin Qingyu through the passage and entered an experimental area. There are many computers, experimental instruments and utensils in this experimental area, which looks a bit crowded.

There is a door at the end of the experimental area. The door is closed tightly, and the space behind the door cannot be seen.

Originally, only the safety lights were on in the experimental area, but after Lin Qingyu and Ning Tao arrived, all the lights suddenly turned on. An old man wearing a security uniform and holding a rubber baton walked out of a small door and yelled: "Who!"

Lin Qingyu responded: "It's me, Lin Qingyu."

The old man took a few steps this way, as if to confirm Lin Qingyu's identity.

Ning Tao's eyes moved to the old man. The old man is about sixty years old, with a horse face, a thin figure, and a light and vigorous walk, which gives people a very healthy feeling.

The old man walked a few steps and then stopped, "It turns out you are really a young lady. Why are you here so late? Did you forget something?"

Lin Qingyu said: "I'll come over and take a look, please leave it alone."

"Is that your friend?" the old man asked again.

Lin Qingyu responded: "Yes."

"Then I'll go look elsewhere." The old man said, then turned and left.

Ning Tao approached Lin Qingyu and asked softly: "Do you know this old man?"

Lin Qingyu said, "I don't know him. I've only been here a few times. I've probably seen him before, but I have no impression." After a pause, she also asked, "Why do you ask?"

Ning Tao said: "Don't you think a security guard talks a bit too much? Also, the tone he spoke to you just now is not quite like a security guard's tone to the boss."

Lin Qingyu's eyes moved to the old man's back.

Just at this time, the old man looked back, only to look back and continue walking. I don't know why, but when the old man looked back just now, Ning Tao felt a little bit like a hawk looking at a wolf. With a thought in his mind, his eyes and nose instantly entered the state of seeing and hearing.

The old man's body exuded the same colorful aura as a normal person's, and his smell was also normal, and even smelled of alcohol, obviously from a small drink.

"I think he is normal." Lin Qingyu made her own judgment.

"Maybe I'm paranoid." Ning Tao said, looking away from the old man's back.

Lin Qingyu smiled and said, "You are so young, but you know, sometimes you give me an unfathomable feeling."

"Really?" Ning Tao asked casually: "What do you mean by unfathomable?"

Lin Qingyu thought for a moment and then said: "Maybe it's because of your medical skills and personality. Well, let's not talk about it. Can you tell anything?"

Ning Tao looked around, observed for a moment and then shook his head, "I am a medical student and a layman in biological research. I don't see anything wrong. Why don't you take me to your brother's office to have a look."

"There, follow me." Lin Qingyu walked towards the door at the end of the experimental area.

Ning Tao followed Lin Qingyu to the door.

Lin Qingyu entered the password on the cipher on the door, and then the door opened to both sides.

Behind the door is a hemispherical space with no windows, which houses more sophisticated experimental instruments, computers, and several filing cabinets, which store an astonishing amount of paper materials, file bags, and books.

Ning Tao secretly said in his heart: "Lin Qingyu said that she had been here after Lin Qinghua fell ill, but no information or records related to ancestor search were found at all. This shows that the relevant things have been cleared away. Even if I leave this place Looking through all the information and hard drives will probably yield no results, so where should I start? Hi Jiang, really, since you asked me for help, you have to give me some tips, right? My eyesight is all dark now and I don’t even have a single thought.”

When he was feeling worried, his eyes suddenly stopped on the arc-shaped wall in front.

There is a hand-painted oil painting on the wall, with a flaming sunset, black mountains, and a man walking towards the sunset. The clothes on his body are cyan, which is particularly eye-catching in this oil painting.

There is a passage on the oil painting: Everyone thinks that our future is tomorrow, and our road is also extending forward, but they are wrong. The way forward is death and destruction, so I have to go back, I want to find The source and answer to all this.

This passage was very strange. Ning Tao read it twice carefully.

"I painted this painting as a birthday present for my brother." Lin Qingyu said, with a touching smile on her lips.

Ning Tao said: "Did you also write the words on the painting?"

Lin Qingyu said: "It wasn't written by me, it was written by my brother. How about it? Does it have the feel of a post-modern literary youth?"

Ning Tao walked towards the oil painting. He didn't feel anything about "postmodern literary youth". What he thought of was "Yang Guifei" that Lin Qinghua was thinking about.

Going forward is death and destruction. This may seem depressing, but it is true. As soon as a person is born, he keeps moving forward. No matter how hard he struggles, he will eventually die. So Lin Qinghua wants to go back, and he wants to find the source and answer of everything.

But what does "all this" in the painting refer to

Also, he imagined himself as Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and he could not forget Concubine Yang. It could even be said that he had deep affection for Concubine Yang. However, both Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty and Concubine Yang were more than a thousand years old. Does this count as having already walked in the "going back" direction? On the road of "

Ning Tao couldn't figure this out.

Suddenly, Ning Tao's nose caught the mysterious and familiar smell, the smell of cyan "clay"! This discovery made him excited and his steps became faster.

"How's my painting going?" Lin Qingyu's voice came from behind.

Ning Tao stopped under the oil painting, "You paint very well. When was this painting painted? I didn't see the date."

Lin Qingyu said: "I drew it a year ago. It was a 30th birthday gift from me to my brother. But the idea is his own. I just drew his thoughts." After a pause, She seemed to hear something again, "It seems that it was that day that I heard about the Ancestor Search Project from him. At that time, I never thought that he would suffer from such a strange disease. Doctor Ning, you must cure my brother, okay? ?”

Ning Tao nodded and reached out to the oil painting on the wall.

Lin Qingyu did not stop him.

Ning Tao's hand touched the cyan figure in the oil painting, and a non-canvas feeling suddenly came from his fingertips. He gently touched the cyan figure in the painting, over and over again, with gentle movements.

"Doctor Ning, is there anything wrong with this painting?" Ning Tao's strange behavior aroused Lin Qingyu's curiosity. She also came to the wall, stood next to Ning Tao and watched him touching her "brother" ".

Suddenly, Ning Tao's five fingers of his right hand slammed into the canvas!

Hiss!

The canvas cracked, and Ning Tao's fingers dug into the canvas. A good oil painting was immediately destroyed by him.

Lin Qingyu exclaimed: "What are you doing?"

Ning Tao withdrew his hand from the painting, still holding a torn canvas in his hand.

"You... how could you do this? This is my birthday gift to my brother. It is of great significance to both my brother and me!" Lin Qingyu was really angry, and her voice trembled slightly. .

Ning Tao handed his right hand to Lin Qingyu, and then spread his palm. In his palm lay a piece of blue mud the size of an egg.

"This..." Lin Qingyu's anger receded as quickly as it came, and she asked in surprise: "What is this?"

Ning Tao said: "I don't know yet, but I'm sure he is related to your brother's illness."

"Show me." Lin Qingyu reached over to get it.

Ning Tao pushed her hand away, "You'd better not touch it. Thinking about what your brother is like now, do you want to be like him?"

Lin Qingyu then retracted her hand.

Ning Tao quickly came to Lin Qinghua's desk, then found a paper knife and carefully cut open the cyan "clay". There was a capsule hidden inside.

Ning Tao secretly asked in his heart: "Is this the "Xunzu" biopharmaceutical studied by Lin Qinghua? Is this the little pill that turned him into a new demon?"

Ning Tao took the capsule in his hand and examined it carefully. When he turned it over, he saw a cyan symbol on the bottom. The shape looked a bit like the little man painted on the cave by primitive people.

The little cyan man seems to have become the exclusive symbol of Lin Qinghua, the "new demon".

"What did you find?" Lin Qingyu also came over to take a look, her face almost touching Ning Tao's.

Suddenly, all the lights went out, and the entire building fell into darkness.
