i can hear your voice

"What are you studying?" Shi Yan looked at the white hedgehog in the pet cage, the little thing seemed to know that he was being watched by He Hengchuan, and huddled in the corner like an ostrich.

"Research why it has become docile." He Hengchuan said.

Shi Yan said, "Because I'm well-raised?"

At the beginning, he saw the hedgehog in an extremely irritable state every day, and suspected that it would die suddenly if it continued like this, so he decided to take it out of the laboratory and put it by his side to raise it for a while.

This hedgehog is a supernatural creature, and it is aggressive. Others would not dare to keep it, but Shi Yan can block the supernatural power, so it is just right for him to keep it.

After raising this hedgehog, in order to prevent it from getting needles everywhere, Shi Yan took it with him wherever he went, and kept the shield on all the time - anyway, blocking the ability will not have a bad effect on the body of the person with the ability. And maintaining a shield with a small area is not a burden for Shi Yan.

He Hengchuan: "I just want to find out where you raise them well. There are still many violent animals in the laboratory. Try raising a few more? See if you can domesticate them."

Shi Yan really thought about it seriously, then shook his head: "No, those animals are too big for me to take with me every day."

He Hengchuan guessed: "Could it be because you carry it with you every day?"

Of course Shi Yan didn't know the reason.

In the end, the hedgehog went into the laboratory, not to use it for any experiments, but to check its physical condition.It had a comprehensive physical examination when it first arrived at the institute, and now it is doing it again. By comparing the data of the two times, it may be possible to see something.

Accompanied by Shi Yan, the little hedgehog completed all the inspections.The result was unexpected. Judging from the data, the physical condition of the little hedgehog was much worse than before——

That's right, after being adopted by Shi Yan, the little hedgehog's health has deteriorated!

Shi Yan was stunned, so it wasn't that he was well-raised, but that he was badly raised?The hedgehog stopped making noises, not because his mind became healthier, but because his body became weaker?

Why is this happening?

He Hengchuan was also very surprised, he didn't expect things to turn out like this.He hesitated for a moment, and said: "The detection of the ability has not been done yet, and we will check whether there is any change in its ability status in a while."

Shi Yan: "Okay, tell me when you are ready, I will let go of its ability."

He Hengchuan nodded.

The ability has also changed. The range of the hedgehog's energy needle was about 20 meters before, but now it has shrunk to five meters. This result is amazing.

He Hengchuan said: "Shall we go to Professor Le's place?"

"What are you going to do?" Shi Yan asked.

"Go ask him to check the condition of the crystal marrow in this hedgehog."

After applying for Star Iron, Le Youyuan's research has made new progress. He has produced a crystal pit detector. No, it should be said that he has finally produced a detector that can detect crystal pit. There was a prototype a few months ago, but the previous ones were all failures, and now the key obstacles have been overcome to make a successful product.However, there are still some problems with this detector at present, but it can be used generally.

After arriving at Le Youyuan's side, the hedgehog was taken out of the pet cage by Le Youyuan's assistant, and then injected with a small tube of blue-gray reagent. Because Shi Yan opened the ability shield, the hedgehog was a little startled, but it There is no needling around - the ability is imprisoned.

Shortly after the injection, the hedgehog lost consciousness. The assistant put the hedgehog on the metal platform, and then pushed the metal platform into the detection chamber.

Le Youyuan stood next to the display screen to observe the data. After a while, he said: "The quality of the crystal marrow in its body is much worse than that of other organisms I have tested before."

"The quality of the crystal pit?" He Hengchuan asked.

"Using an analogy, the crystal marrow in someone else's body is fat and strong, and it is skinny."

In fact, the observation is unable to observe the specific crystal essence, that thing has been integrated into the living body like a liquid, and there is only one kind of biological wave that can be observed - the first person to discover this phenomenon is Ruopu, the crystal essence The operating principle of the detector is also imitating Ruopu's acoustic wave detection method.

The strength of the detected biological wave means that the crystal pit is strong, and the weak biological wave means that the crystal pit is also weak.

"Is it the crystal essence?" He Hengchuan looked at Shi Yan, "Can your ability affect the crystal essence?"

"I don't know. I can block other people's abilities." Shi Yan looked at the still unconscious hedgehog put back into the pet box by the assistant. "In order to prevent it from firing energy needles, I blocked its abilities."

"You can affect the ability, and the crystal essence can also affect the ability. Maybe you can affect the crystal essence through the ability..." He Hengchuan said, "The people who have been taken out of the crystal essence will have greatly reduced ability and poor physical condition." By analogy, the condition of this hedgehog may be as follows: Shi Yan weakened the medulla of the hedgehog, and after the medulla became weaker, the physical condition of the hedgehog also deteriorated, "

Le Youyuan hugged his thin arms and looked at Shi Yan: "Your abilities are really interesting."

"... Teacher, your ability is also very interesting."

Le Shiyuan said modestly: "It's not as good as you, it's not as good as you."

"..."

However, although He Hengchuan's idea is reasonable, it is only a hypothesis after all, and it needs to be verified by experiments to know whether it is right or wrong.

So the hedgehog was sent back to the laboratory, and Shi Yan resumed his life without pets.

When Ruo Pu returned to the Yuwu Forest Research Institute from Yucheng, he saw that Shi Yan's pet box was missing, so he asked, "Where's Xiaobai?"

He had given the albino hedgehog a nickname, and he had already regarded him as Shiyan's pet and fully accepted it.

Shi Yan told him about the hedgehog.

"That's it..." Ruopu was a little stunned, but he accepted it quickly, "Now we can be sure that the crystal essence is indeed harmful to people."

"It's harmful to take it out, it's okay if you don't take it out, it seems that people who have used the crystal essence can only continue to use it, and it will be miserable if they want to stop." Shi Yan expressed her feelings.

"No, what I mean by harmful is not to say that it is harmful before it is taken out, before it is taken out. You remember, Song Mingqing said before that the side effect of crystal essence is like drugs, which will cause damage to the brain and nerves. People's temperaments have changed."

After Lu Jun, a traitor from the Yuncheng Ability Bureau, was arrested, Song Mingqing learned some information about the side effects of crystal essence from the other party's memory.

However, those messages have not been confirmed, but now, it seems that the moment of confirmation is very close.

Ruopu continued: "Didn't Xiaobai have a very violent temper before? That should be the 'nervous problem' caused by the crystal essence. Later, your ability weakened the crystal essence, and Xiaobai's oppressed nervous system was relieved. That's why it got better."

"Really?" Shi Yan was not sure.

"I think so." Ruo Pu said, "The crystal essence may have a more direct influence on animals, perhaps because their minds are simpler and they are more easily affected; humans are more tolerant and better at endurance and self-regulation, so It will take longer for problems to become apparent."

After that, the two went to the laboratory, and many researchers supported Ruo Pu's point of view.

"It should be like this. According to our observations, most of the mutated animals with crystal marrow are more irritable than ordinary animals, especially those animals that are supposed to be very docile. The contrast will be more obvious. For example, rabbits, we have one with crystal marrow The mutant rabbit sample - you brought it back from the rain and fog forest, it is as aggressive as a wild boar, it's crazy."

He Hengchuan took the two of them to see the hedgehog. After returning to the laboratory, the hedgehog was kept in a transparent pet box made of special materials. Now it is gnawing on nuts, and it looks a bit fierce.

He Hengchuan looked at Shi Yan: "After leaving your influence, it gradually recovered a little bit, its physical fitness improved, and its powers also increased a bit, but it failed to recover to the level it had when it first came here. It was at 100 when it first came here, and now it's back to its early 50s."

"Can it be restored to 100 in the future?" Ruo Pu asked.

"Probably not, I think it can only be restored to about 60." Then He Hengchuan independently extended this topic, "The mutated creatures whose crystal marrow has been taken out can basically only restore to the original 20 to 30, whether it is physical fitness or Supernatural abilities will be greatly damaged due to the disappearance of the crystal essence, just like a building collapsed due to the loss of part of its foundation."

"However, at least the creature whose crystal essence has been taken out will not continue to collapse." Ruopu looked at the hedgehog in the glass box, "and it, as well as other crystal essence carriers, their mental state will continue to deteriorate ,Is it right?"

He Hengchuan: "It should be. I guess they will eventually become a kind of numb creature, completely losing their senses, leaving only the instincts of attacking and devouring, similar to mutant rats."

"What about human beings? Will it be the same in the end?" Ruo Pu asked.

"I don't know. The changes in the animals are just my guesses. In fact, we can only know what the situation is after a long period of continuous observation of multiple samples."

Ruopu thought for a moment, and said: "I think we need to issue an early warning, otherwise it will be too late after you observe for several years, or even ten years."

"En." Shi Yan responded.

He Hengchuan: "Didn't you issue an early warning? Longgang has been urging everyone not to use crystal essence, and mainstream public opinion has always opposed the use of crystal essence."

"It's not enough, there are still many crystal essence users secretly." Ruo Pu said, "In the past, they mainly suspected that there was a problem with the crystal essence. Now we can upgrade it. We can use some methods to intuitively show everyone that there is indeed a problem with the crystal essence. .”

The intuitive display method mentioned by Ruopu refers to shooting videos.

After discussions, the institute shot two videos.

The content of the first video is as follows: a small white mouse numbered 01 died, a ball of bloody substance came out from its snout, slowly wriggling on the ground, and then was killed by another small white mouse numbered 02 The white mouse absorbed it, and then 02 died, the bloody substance left 02's body again, and was absorbed by the No. 03 white mouse...

After posting this video on the official account of the Yuwu Forest Research Institute, netizens expressed trembling:

"What is this? A new type of parasite?"

"It can parasitize on mice, can it also parasitize on humans?"

"Is this thing immortal like a mutant mouse? It's too scary..."

"Is there a way to kill this kind of thing? There should be a way, right? Tell us how to kill it!"

"..."
