The whole empire is watching my live broadcast of Tomb Raiding [Interstellar]

When Du Leding was thinking wildly, Peipei continued: "I came to the hospital today to ask for leave. I will take a few days off. If you come later, I will leave."

Du Leding: "..."

The law should state that doctors are not allowed to gasp.

Pepe clicked on the computer and said: "There are many people in this world, either congenitally or acquired, with some characteristics that other people do not have, such as not feeling pain, bark-like skin, abnormal limbs, etc."

The more Du Leding listened, the more he felt uncomfortable. Is his body going through some terrible changes?

Pepe opened the test report of Dulodin, and the DNA double helix structure slowly rotated and changed on the screen: "All these abnormalities are caused by genetic mutations, some are spontaneous, and some are induced. Your body is also experiencing this. This change, from the perspective of phenotypic effects, can be temporarily characterized as a biochemical mutation."

Du Leding made a stop gesture: "Beauty, let's try to explain my body in easy-to-understand language?"

Su Teng realized the seriousness of the matter, frowned and said, "You mean that although the surface of his body has not changed, there have been mutations in his body?"

Pepe nodded: "As far as his current condition is concerned, it can be said that. What's more, the foreign DNA destroyed the original structure of the DNA in his body, but it did not cause DNA damage."

Although Du Leding is a person who pays more attention to the process than the result, he still wants to know the result in this matter: "Excuse me, am I going to die?"

Pepe did not answer directly, but said: "Generally speaking, genetic mutations are harmful, and may lead to a decline in the body's immunity or even the death of living organisms. But as far as the current situation is concerned, the mutations in your body have not damaged your DNA, Instead, it makes your organs and cells repair themselves faster, so the wound disappears quickly after you get injured."

Du Leding raised his eyebrows and said, "Is this a good thing?"

Pepe's expression was not optimistic, and he said seriously: "It's hard to say. I used your cells to conduct experiments on insects and small mammals, and the results were not very good."

In the course of biological experiments, the insects died quickly.Although the mammal survived, its physical condition was abnormal.

As a mammal, Du Leding is grateful that he will not die for the time being, but at the same time he is worried about the so-called abnormality.

Peipei took the two of them to the observation window of the laboratory, pointed to something dark and said, "This is a snow rat. This species has strong fecundity, is timid and weakly aggressive. It is seven centimeters, and the tail is about five centimeters."

Du Leding opened his mouth slightly, unable to believe that it was a kind of mouse, and it was completely different from Pepe's description.Its body is pitch black, its hair is thick and stiff like steel wire, its body shape is similar to that of a rabbit that grew up eating meat, its irises are yellowish brown, its tail is thick and long, like a cat's tail, and it slams on the glassware with a bang.

"Are you sure it's weak in attack?" Du Leding was stared at by the monster, and there was always a feeling that it would break through the glass and rush over to bite people at any time.

Pepe forgot to take care of the patient's emotions for a while, and said excitedly: "Well, what's interesting is that it was originally a squirrel suffering from cancer. When it entered the experiment, the cancer cells in its body decreased rapidly. It recovered and showed a lot more activity than its kind. But after a while, its body began to change, and its aggressiveness became stronger and stronger."

"Just last night, it bit off the head of the female mouse that was experimenting with it at the same time." She glanced at Du Leding. "In addition, its hippocampus shrank, and its memory ability continued to decline."

Du Le Ding thought for a while: "So the body surface that I said before will not change, and it is only temporary?"

Pepe said very cautiously: "This kind of mutation in humans—that is, you, the process is very slow, and it is not yet certain for the time being."

Du Leding was in a trance for a while, as if he had eaten too much indigestible food in a short period of time and felt extremely uncomfortable.Su Teng lightly pressed Duleding's back with one hand, and said to Pepe: "Can you find the reason and solution?"

Pepe shook her head regretfully: "There are no similar cases for the time being, so we can only observe first. But don't worry, I will not give up looking for a treatment plan."

Du Leding listened expressionlessly, and suddenly heard a "bang bang" impact, he turned his head to look at the glass window, the black mutant monster was crazily hitting the glass.

He had a headache, as if it wasn't the squirrel that hit the glass, but himself.

After saying goodbye to Pepe, Su Teng and Du Le Ding walked slowly towards the elevator. Su Teng squeezed Du Le Ding's hand suddenly: "I'm very scared, what should I do?"

Du Leding came back to his senses, and said dumbfoundedly: "I'm not afraid yet, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I will suddenly turn into a black coal ball and bite your head off?"

Su Teng stopped and looked at him steadily: "I'm afraid that one day you won't recognize me, and you won't even know who I am."

"What about you," Du Leding said, "do you know who I am?"

He almost blurted out this sentence without any thought, just like a formula with wrong arrangement and combination, even the author of the question was confused.

He looked away annoyed, and heard a voice in his heart saying: I am not Nao, not the person you think in your heart.

Su Teng was startled, his brows were slowly frowned, and he vaguely guessed the reason for Du Leding's sudden change of attitude.His lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, when the elevator stopped with a "ding", and the two doors slowly opened.

"Are you Su Teng?"

The two turned their heads to look over, and a young man came out of the elevator. He was not tall, had a small round face, and wore a pair of rimless glasses.

Su Teng: "You are?"

"I'm Xia Yao, we've met twice," the man extended his hand to express his friendliness, "I'm Yang Han's fiancé."

Su Teng has a photographic memory, but he has no memory of meeting this man, but Yang Han's fiancé is indeed Xia Yao.A person who is so unremarkable and featureless that even people with a photographic memory cannot remember them is quite special.

Because he realized that the astrolabe should not be a token of kinship, Du Leding was not as excited as he imagined when he heard Xia Yao reveal his identity.

After the two introduced each other, Du Leding asked politely, "How is Yang Han?"

Xia Yao said blankly: "It's still the same, I want to try traditional Chinese medicine treatment."

Du Leding raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you know Chinese medicine?"

"I am a plant researcher, and I am also very interested in herbal medicine and acupuncture." Xia Yao adjusted her glasses. "Besides, my grandma used to be a Chinese medicine practitioner. There are many books and materials on this topic at home."

After finishing speaking, he said: "Is it convenient for you now? I want to know the specific process of Yang Han's injury."

Du Leding glanced at Su Teng and nodded at Xia Yao, just as he had something to ask.The three sat down in a quiet coffee shop near the hospital. Du Leding described the situation at the time of the incident as plainly as possible, as well as the test results after he was bitten.

After Xia Yao heard it, she didn't show much expression, as if these things didn't happen to his fiancée but to the research subjects, she nodded solemnly and said: "I understand. Then the female rat who was also conducting the experiment was Was there any abnormality before being bitten to death?"

Du Leding didn't expect Xia Yao's focus to be so peculiar, and the first question he asked was about the useless female rat who was given lunch as soon as she appeared.He curled his lips and said, "I don't know, is it important?"

"Any small detail may be an important factor, and no one can jump to conclusions without testing." Xia Yao said sternly: Talking to this kind of person is very boring, and Du Leding said bluntly: "By the way, there is a I want to ask you a question, that Yang Han's astrolabe was given to her by you, right? Then where did you get the astrolabe?"

Xia Yao: "My grandma gave it to my father, and he gave it to me."

Du Leding: "Who gave it to your grandma?"

Xia Yao: "It should be her mother."

Du Leding asked: "Then her mother... where did her mother get it?"

Xia Yao looked at Du Le Ding, a bit puzzled why he was so interested in the astrolabe: "I don't know, I guess it has been passed down like this all the time. Is there anything special about this thing?"

Du Leding said: "Yang Han used it to open the silver coffin in the ancient tomb, isn't it special enough?"

"Oh, so that's how it is." Xia Yao mumbled, "I'm sorry, I don't know the origin of the astrolabe, but I remember my grandma said that this ornament is not a family heirloom, because it is not something unique, I thought it was Some kind of limited edition handmade distressed jewelry."

"..." Du Leding really wanted to open the botanist's head to see how much grass grew inside, "So your grandma has seen other astrolabes?"

Xia Yao shook her head, and the dumb hair on her head swayed accordingly: "No, she also listened to what my grandpa said, she didn't ask about the specific situation, and my grandpa didn't say much."

Can't grandparents communicate more in their daily life?Du Leding gave up, and Ge You slumped in the chair, taking a few sips of coffee without taste.

Xia Yao didn't notice the helplessness of the other party at all, and continued to ask seriously: "Then what did you gain from this archaeological survey, do you know more about the monster that bit you and Yang Han?"

Du Leding felt as if he was being interviewed, he waved his hand weakly: "I found a bunch of broken boxes."

Su Teng took the words, and compressed their thrilling experience into a few words: "So far, there are no valuable clues."

Xia Yao thought for a while, took out the pen she carried with her from her pocket, drew a figure on the napkin, held it up and asked, "Is this the pattern engraved on the box?"

Du Leding glanced at it and immediately sat up straight: "How do you know?"

Su Teng cherished his words like gold, and his words were extremely brief. He even briefly described the black box. He only mentioned "Three Snakes Whirlpool Picture", which they named temporarily, but Xia Yao drew it completely.

Xia Yao pushed the glasses with the back of her finger: "I seem to have seen it somewhere, let me think about it."

After finishing speaking, he entered the memory mode motionlessly like a robot with power cut off.

Du Le Ding was about to be driven crazy, he propped his face with one hand and couldn't help shaking his legs, wishing he could get into Xia Yao's head and peel off a large piece of grass to see what was inside.

Su Teng glanced at him, reached out and lightly pressed on his wobbling leg.Du Leding seemed to have received some kind of order, and his nerves gradually relaxed.

However, he didn't want to admit that his emotions were appeased by Su Teng, he shook his legs a few times, and smiled provocatively at Su Teng.

"I remembered," Xia Yao turned on the phone again, "I saw it in my grandfather's account."

Du Leding was confused: "What is a hand account?"

"A handbook is a kind of note." Xia Yao began to explain what a handbook is.

Du Leding regretted that he had asked a nonsense question, and quickly stopped him before he started a long speech: "Okay, I understand, let's talk about the picture."

Xia Yao said meticulously: "There is a misunderstanding in your name. The creature here is not a snake, but a fish."

Du Leding and Su Teng immediately remembered the three giants in the petroglyphs, and they did have fish heads and tails.

"Looking at the face, it is indeed a fish," Du Leding pondered, "but how can a fish live in a tree?"

Xia Yao said seriously: "I think this kind of creature with a fish head and a snake body, just like a dragon, is fictional."

Du Leding nodded in agreement: "About this kind of fish, your grandpa's pen...is there anything else written in the journal?"

Xia Yao recalled: "They live on a tree called 'Yujing Shenmu'. They can call wind and rain, and summon thunder and lightning. They can see everything from the ninth heaven to the eighteenth floor."

The more Du Leding listened, the more he felt that this thing was definitely fabricated, so he shifted his focus to another matter: "Then, did your grandfather record any clues related to the Yuxuan Shenmu and the fish-headed snake, such as whether they are What nation's totem, or which countries were involved in history?"

"Yes." Xia Yao nodded.

Du Leding impatiently leaned forward, as if this would bring him closer to the truth.

Xia Yao: "I forgot."

Du Leding: "..."

If Su Teng hadn't grabbed Du Leding's hand under the table, he might have rushed to strangle Xia Yao to death.

Su Teng held Duleding's hand firmly, and asked patiently, "Is it convenient to ask your grandfather?"

Xia Yao probably dealt with plants all the year round, she didn't have the eyesight to see other people's emotional changes at all, and said with a natural look: "Actually, I have never seen my grandpa, he died in the catastrophe of the end of the earth. My grandma put all the notes, handbooks and collected materials he left at home in a big box, and when I was young, I dug out a few books in the basement of her house and read them."

He took a sip of tea and continued: "What impresses me the most is his collection of information on a lost civilization. He seems to have devoted all his energy to that country that is rarely recorded in history. The Yulin Shenmu just mentioned and the fictional Creatures seem to be related to this ancient country."

After Du Leding calmed down, he realized that he was very irritable and impulsive today. He didn't know whether the inexplicable irritability was because of the snow mouse or other reasons, but the moment Su Teng held his hand, the uneasiness in his heart Was pressed out.

He glanced at Su Teng, found a trace of peace in his calm eyes, and he was much calmer when he spoke again: "What does your grandfather do, historian?"

Xia Yao shook her head: "No, he is a reporter who does special reports on history, and he is unknown. My grandma said that he always wants to make big news, publish a book or something, so after learning about that lost civilization, I was immediately fascinated, and determined to dig out its history, so I ran here and there in the south of the Yangtze River looking for any possible clues."

"He is not at home all year round, and only occasionally calls back. The last time I called my grandma, and said that he had made a major discovery, and he would go home after he was sure. It didn't take long for the doomsday crisis to erupt. He also completely lost contact with my grandma."

"Is your grandfather's name Xia Qiu?" Du Leding suddenly thought of someone, that person was also a small reporter, who was particularly interested in tomb robbery, squatting in the antique market all day, and found him and Shen Yu through someone, They said they wanted to interview anonymously, but they refused, and I never saw that person again.

Although the quarrel was not very pleasant at that time, if Xia Yao's grandfather was really Xia Qiu, then he and Xia Yao could be regarded as predestined.

"No," Xia Yao heard Du Leding's misunderstanding, and waved her hands, "My father takes my grandma's surname. My grandpa's name is Qin Chu, and every time my grandma mentions him, she will say one thing—that Qin Chu who is facing Qin Muchu. "
