"Ah!" Joshua exclaimed, sitting up from the bed.
Boom!
The door was slammed open, and four bodyguards guarding the living room rushed in at lightning speed. Two protected Joshua with their bodies, and two stood at the door, scanning every suspicious corner of the room with guns.
"Huh..." Joshua exhaled a breath, and then waved his hand feebly.
"It's okay, I just had a nightmare."
The four bodyguards looked at each other and put away their guns. Three of them bowed to Joshua, turned and exited the door. Only an older bodyguard walked to the coffee table, poured out a glass of boiling water and handed it to him. To Joshua.
It seemed that due to the lack of ventilation, the room was a little hot and sweat unknowingly wetted his forehead.
Joshua unbuttoned his neck and fell into a daze again—
Is it really just a dream
Joshua suddenly felt a little cold. It was clear that summer was about to enter, but he felt cold deep in his heart.
Such a strange but real dream, as if it had just happened, he could even clearly recall the mysterious man's voice and smile, and even remember the data in the document. If he just blamed it all on the dream, then it would be too much. A bit arbitrary.
But... How can there be such a weird thing in the world? Maybe, it’s just that I think about it every day and dream about it at night...
"boss… "
Joshua's eyes were a little blurry, and he didn't come back to his senses until the other party brought the water to his eyes. He took it for a moment, seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly asked, "When did I fall asleep and how long did I sleep?"
"Boss, you came back to the room at eight o'clock sharp. It's now... eight and two." The bodyguard said awkwardly.
"Huh?" Joshua was stunned and raised his hand in disbelief. He saw that the hour hand on his wrist was pointing accurately at eight o'clock. Even the minute hand had only gone less than two steps.
It seemed that it was indeed a dream. It clearly felt like thirty or forty minutes had passed, but in fact not even two minutes had passed. This phenomenon only occurs in dreams.
It seems that I am indeed suspicious.
Joshua shook his head with a wry smile and subconsciously reached into his pocket. However, when he touched a long, cylindrical hard object in his pocket, his body stiffened suddenly and his expression became ugly again.
As if unwilling to give up, Joshua slowly took the object out of his pocket. When he saw what was in his hand clearly, he took a deep breath!
The object in his hand turned out to be a spiral test tube with a very sci-fi shape, and the test tube also contained dozens of milliliters of dark blue medicine...
"Buddy, did anyone enter my room after I fell asleep just now?"
"Boss, this is impossible. We have been outside the door and no one has entered."
"What about the windows?"
"We checked the windows and they are all locked."
Joshua questioned all four bodyguards individually. Not only that, he also ordered the four bodyguards to search for the so-called secret passage in the room. He did not stop until he turned the room upside down.
Then, he found the manager and asked him to call the hotel's surveillance system. He finally gave up after confirming that no one had entered or left his room for several hours.
Joshua felt his world view was shaken.
This night, not only Joshua, but also eight important members of the European and American consortium also suffered from insomnia. In this international coastal city, they felt the mystery of the ancient East for the first time.
…
Three days later.
Biscayne Bay, Miami, Florida, USA.
"We have received news that Malphite, that fat pig, collided with a truck while driving for fun three nights ago. Malphite broke his neck on the spot." Joshua stood with a pale face. In front of the bed, he reported to the elderly man on the bed, "And Malphite's family has also investigated. It was indeed an accident. There is nothing suspicious about it."
"This question is not important." Old William's eyes flashed with inexplicable greed on the huge and comfortable sunken wood bed. "I'm talking about the thing you got back. What was the test result of that potion?"
Joshua seemed to hesitate for a moment, and finally said, "We injected about five milliliters of T-2 into an eighty-year-old homeless man. After two days of observation, we obtained very important data."
As he spoke, two researchers in white coats behind Joshua turned and walked out of the door, then pushed a half-person-high cage through the door. Inside the cage, there was a man who was about sixty or seventy years old, hugging his knees and watching everyone in horror.
"Mr. Williams, I can only say that the potion you provided is amazing." One of the men in a white coat took out a piece of data and enthusiastically pointed at the man in the cage and said, "You may not understand , two days ago, the man in the cage was still full of white hair, but after we injected him with five milliliters of T-2, as you can see, a small part of his hair turned from white to gray, and his The skin regains its elasticity and becomes radiant. ”
"This is a change that is visible to the naked eye, and there are also some deep internal changes. For example, we did several bone age tests on him. Before the T-2 injection, his bone age was very normal and could be locked in at 80 years old. But when we gave him After the T-2 injection, his bone age was checked again, and it was found that his age had become five to more than ten years younger. Cell viability and DNA tests also showed that the degree of wear on his DNA telomeres had been repaired by a large margin! It’s a miracle in the history of medicine!”
The man in the white coat became more and more excited as he spoke. He waved his hands excitedly and spat, "Oh my god, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I couldn't believe that he was an eighty-year-old man! Look at what he looks like , He seems to be only about sixty or seventy years old, as if time has flown back more than ten years on him! "
"In other words, the efficacy of T-2 is real?" Old William stared greedily at the old man under the bed. He was about to get up, but his lungs were irritated and he coughed violently.
Joshua on the side quickly pulled the oxygen mask and put it on old William's face. Old William took a few breaths of oxygen and then said impatiently, "So, have the ingredients of this drug been detected? Can it be measured? Give birth?"
"Uh... this kind of medicine is a genetic medicine. Not to mention mass production, even testing the ingredients is impossible. Sorry, I can't do anything." The man in the white coat then showed an embarrassed look, "I dare to invent this medicine. "The genetic and virological knowledge they possess is at least ten years ahead of the current technology."
Old William then showed a disappointed look, "It's not surprising, I should have thought of it a long time ago. Since it can't be copied for mass production, then bring me the medicine now, bring them all!"
"Father, are you ready for the injection?" Joshua looked embarrassed, "But we have only conducted one experiment. If there are dangers and side effects..."
"Nothing!" Old William shouted in a hoarse voice, his eyes like ferocious jackals, "I can't wait much longer. Besides, five milliliters of T-2 have been wasted. I can't tolerate you continuing to waste it. I Inject now, immediately!”
"Yes..." Joshua nodded and hurriedly walked out of the room. When he came back again, he already had an extra lockbox in his hand.
At Old John's urging, Joshua opened the lockbox himself and put all the medicine into the MIT needle-free syringe.
“来吧，来吧！全部注射，不要想着留下一丁点儿，否则我会像你小时候那样揍扁你… ”老威廉贪婪的注视着眼前的注射器，兴奋的舔了舔嘴唇，
"Father, please lower your head and I'll give you an intravenous injection." Joshua's eyes were full of complexity, and he saw his father's weak side for the first time.
In the past, even when my father was injured and seriously ill, even when he faced death, he never lost his composure at all. Maybe it’s time that has worn away the courage you once had, right? Even though he once lived in his father's shadow, that was just the past.
Today's father is no longer the all-powerful Wolf of Wall Street back then. He is just an old man who is dying and whose fire of life may be extinguished at any time...
Joshua put the syringe against Old William's nauseous neck, which was full of disgusting wrinkles, and his expression became increasingly cold.
Suddenly, he raised the corners of his mouth into a weird smile and whispered, "Father, I'm so sorry. I think you have lived long enough. You should leave the family to me in the future."
"What did you say?" Old William's turbid pupils shrank suddenly, and before he could struggle, he immediately felt numbness in his neck!
laugh…
With a soft sound, the lethal sodium cyanide was injected with a needleless syringe to form a tiny liquid flow of three hundred meters per second, directly passing through old William's loose skin, entering the viscous blood, and finally flowing through the heart. , quickly and effectively ended this aging and fragile life...
