The protagonist of the second video is a rabbit.

A litter of docile little rabbits was raised in a double cage, and one hand reached into the cage to hold one out. The winning little rabbit was fed a spoonful of sticky red substance, and then put into a separate cage. , the little rabbit began to lie down in the cage as if poisoned, foaming at the mouth, and twitching in its limbs...

Camera express, fifteen minutes later, the little rabbit no longer twitched, but its shape changed: it no longer lay on its stomach, it stood up, and it became an upright rabbit.

The camera fast-forwards again, and the upright rabbit is gnawing at the food ferociously, bumping into the cage violently, and the cage is knocked crookedly.Lifting the cage with both hands, he went outdoors, the cage was opened, and the erect rabbit was "released".

The camera zooms out, and the free upright rabbit becomes a violent destructive maniac. It gnaws trees and vegetation, and hunts down other animals. When it sees other animals at first, it rushes to kill them. It doesn’t eat, but bites It doesn't matter if it dies. After a few days, its behavior pattern changed, and it became like killing other animals slowly. .

The video captures the process of this erect rabbit killing another common rabbit in detail. It catches up with a big rabbit twice its size, scratches with its claws, bites with its teeth, plays for a while, stops for a while, stops for a while and then plays again. When the big rabbit died, there was no good skin on its body, and the blood was all drained.

After this video was posted on the Internet, the response was even hotter than the previous video, and the comments exploded:

"It turns out that the red parasite is the crystal marrow!"

"Did the crystal essence awaken an ordinary rabbit? So it turns out that the crystal essence really has the effect of promoting awakening?"

"That rabbit went crazy after awakening, right? It was so cute and cute, but after awakening, it turned into a massacre. Is this a side effect of the crystal essence?"

"Will those who use the crystal essence be like this rabbit in the future? If they suddenly go crazy in public and become murderous... Oh my god, it's terrible!"

"..."

People all over the world have noticed the two videos released by the Rain and Fog Forest Research Institute, and many people watched with serious expressions.

Crystal City.

"It's irresponsible for this new research institute to casually post such a sensational and dangerous video on the Internet without following the rules! We need to manage them well..." In Xie Weiming's office, a group of people filled with righteous indignation gathered.

Xie Weiming: "Let them study the crystal essence clearly, it can be regarded as helping us work."

"...However, they are so maliciously targeting the crystal essence, which is not good for us!"

Xie Weiming looked at the crowd: "How about this? Although the research institute is sponsored by Shixing, it is still a state institution. The headquarters can send people to supervise it. Which of you is willing to go?"

"..." No one said anything. All the people present were crystal marrow carriers, and they went to a place that specializes in researching crystal marrow.

"Can Secretary Pan go?" Someone suggested.

Pan Liqing is also Xie Weiming's confidant, but she is not involved in matters related to the crystal essence. From this point, it can be seen that she is not a crystal essence carrier, which means that it is very safe for her to go to the Rain and Mist Forest.

"She's too young." Xie Weiming declined, he didn't want Pan Liqing to leave his sight, because her background was too special. "You guys think of a new candidate, and let him bring the news that Gao Kong has defected to Dongzhou. Since Gao Kong may be helping Dongzhou to make biological and chemical weapons, then we have to take precautions early and give priority to the Rain and Fog Forest Research Institute. Study this."

Everyone agreed: "Yes, this is the most important thing!"

After a while, everyone left one after another. Xie Weiming leaned back on the back of the chair, folded his hands and placed them in front of him, palms up. He looked down at his hands, thinking about the crystal essence... …

"Deputy Minister." Pan Liqing's voice came from the intercom.

"Come in." Xie Weiming replied.

After a while, Pan Liqing walked into Xie Weiming's office, walked to his desk, and said, "Vice Minister, I just received a message from the Rain and Mist Forest Research Institute."

"What's the matter?" Xie Weiming was a little irritable, and then he remembered the crazy upright rabbit in the video, he took a deep breath, and suppressed his irritability.

"Actually, it's not important news—it's not the crystal essence experiment, but it's quite important to me." Pan Liqing frowned, "The news is: Ruo Pu and Shi Yan are in a relationship!"

Xie Weiming looked at her.

"Why do they fall in love? I never heard of their relationship like this before!" Pan Liqing was a little mad, "All the novels I read are about Ruo Pu falling in love with others, without the two of them."

Xie Weiming: "Public opinion can be controlled. If they don't want people to know, they don't have to know."

"But why don't they want people to know? How good they are together, a natural pair, the two complement each other, it's perfect! It's better than all other CPs! Why doesn't anyone write their novels?"

Xie Weiming: "Do you still remember the novel you read?"

"I don't remember the specific content, but I remember that I haven't read their novels, maybe they are relatively small? So I haven't read them? Ah! It's a pity that I can't go back. I don't have so many secrets." We can discuss it, I am too uncomfortable." Pan Liqing said while clutching her chest.

"..." Xie Weiming said, "Maybe in the future you know, they haven't been together before."

"No, we must be together! This can explain why Ruo Pu went crazy after Shi Yan died, and why he also died within a few years. He must like Shi Yan very, very much!"

Xie Weiming said in a low voice: "If you want everything, you will get nothing."

"What?" Pan Liqing didn't hear his words clearly.

"Going to their seats, they shouldn't have too much affection for each other, it's too dangerous."

Pan Liqing argued: "You can't say that, anyone has the right to fall in love."

"But some people are in love and destroy the world, Lord of Destruction, right?"

Pan Liqing retorted: "Perhaps you promoted the title of King of Destruction for him."

"……what?"

Pan Liqing: "That's right, after the 'new king' came to power, he had to overthrow the 'old king' in order to establish authority... Didn't you just say that public opinion can be controlled?"

"..."

Pan Liqing took a peek at Xie Weiming, who was sinking like water, unable to see if she was angry, she lowered her head and apologized: "I'm sorry, I was talking nonsense."

"It might not be a bad thing in the beginning."

"Ok?"

"The peace talks were successful because they developed feelings for each other. The love that can end the war and bring peace must be a great love." Xie Weiming said, "It's just that the advantages of one thing may also be its disadvantages. Calm brings destruction. I don't mean this world, but Ruo Pu."

"I like it so much that I can't accept losing it." Pan Liqing said melancholy.

Xie Weiming said indifferently: "It's because he can't bear it."

"..." Pan Liqing disagreed, but she didn't refute him, she just glanced at him quietly.

Xie Weiming got up: "I'll go out for a while."

"What about me?" Pan Liqing quickly followed.

"You can get off work."

"Oh."

Xie Weiming went to Jingcheng Research Institute, walked through the woods, and walked along the lake for a while, and he came to a small courtyard.

Fu Cong lives here, and he is listening to his assistant reading the news to him.

After Xie Weiming arrived, the assistant left, leaving them talking alone.

"Crystal Essence—"

"Shi Yu—"

The two spoke at the same time.

Then Fu Cong shut his mouth, Xie Weiming continued: "Will Shi Yu wake up?"

"I don't know, I can't see things too far."

"Then have you seen anything recent?" Xie Weiming asked.

After a moment of silence, Fu Cong said: "Western Union may be in chaos because of the Jingsui matter."

"Because of the video about Crystal Essence released by Rain and Mist Forest?"

"I can't see clearly."

Xie Weiming looked at the person in front of him and guessed whether he really didn't know, or he didn't want to say it. After all, he was from the Western Union.

……

In the official residence of the prime minister in the capital of the Western Union, a middle-aged and elderly man was loudly reprimanding a young and middle-aged man. The two were the prime minister of the Western Union, Li Ganxing, and his youngest son, Li Tan.

"Someone reported that you sold crystal essence privately. Is it true? Why did you do such a thing?" In fact, Li Ganxing didn't care much about crystal essence before, but the situation is different now. The news is that the crystal essence is harmful. If this is the case, then the crystal essence must be controlled.

"I didn't, they slandered me." Li Tian said angrily.

Li Ganxing looked at him suspiciously, and said tentatively: "You didn't know the dangers of crystal essence before, and you can't blame you for accidentally mixing in such things, but you have to promise me that you can't do it again in the future."

Li Tiao knew without hesitation and said: "I didn't, they must have evidence to report me, right? I am willing to confront them face to face!"

Li Ganxing believed it a little: "That's good. I will investigate this matter."

Li Ganxing was very busy, and left soon after asking his son.

Li Duan was the only person left in the empty study room. He kicked the coffee table, and his guard came in when he heard the noise, and planned to leave again after seeing that he was fine.

"Wait a minute, you go find the informer and kill him." Li Tiao said.

The guard was as obedient as a puppet: "Yes."

But Li Tiao immediately said again: "Wait a minute. It's useless to kill him, we still have to see what my father thinks. What should we do? It would be great if Mr. Jin was here..."

Guard: "Can you control your father and make him listen to you?"

"...It's a way."

……

Longgang.

Ji Duan watched the video on the screen, he was very anxious, and kept tapping his fingers on the table.

After watching the video, he frowned and thought for a while, then picked up his mobile phone and called Boss Jin, but he didn't get through.

He frowned, Boss Jin has disappeared for almost two months, where did he go?Or did something happen?

Ji Duan stood up and paced irritably in the spacious office. After a while, he picked up his mobile phone again, dialed another number, and got connected this time.

"Xianxian, what are you doing now? Swimming, good, you have fun."

On a beach on Moon Pearl Island, Ji Xianxian, who was sitting under a parasol, took a sip of her drink and said, "Dad, I think we should forget about studying abroad..."

"What's wrong? Don't you like Moon Pearl Island?"

"No, I'm just more used to staying in Zhongzhou."

"Xianxian, from now on, my focus of work will be shifted to Moon Pearl Island, so I hope you stay there to study, just treat it as a company with Dad, okay?"

"Oh..." Ji Xianxian showed a worried expression.

……

southern border.

After watching the video, Su Lin walked to the window. In the yard below, all kinds of animals looked up at him. This scene was a bit scary, and he held his breath.

At this time, someone knocked on the door, he regained his senses, resumed his normal breathing rate, and turned away from the window.

"General," said Mi Ren, "there are some bad rumors about Jingsui."

General Su Lin went to the Rain and Mist Forest earlier, and not only brought back the beast army, but also got a lot of crystal essence. After that, as long as the soldiers of the northern army performed well in battle, they could get the opportunity to use the crystal essence to improve their abilities .

"It doesn't matter, those who don't want to take it don't have to take it, there is no need to force it." Su Lin said, "You arrange someone to guide you from these two aspects: [-]. Humans are not animals. Humans are rational and can control themselves; Two, the 'enhancing agent' we use is an improved version, better than the quality in the hands of Zhongzhou people."

Mi Ren looked at him and replied, "Okay, I understand."

……

Dongzhou Youfu Marshal's Mansion.

The marshal's convoy drove out of the gate, which then closed again.

"It's finally a little easier." Near the gate, Bi Li, who was standing upright before, collapsed and chatted with his colleagues, "Did you see today's news headlines?"

Colleagues who are still standing up straight: "...you can't chat when you are on guard."

"If you don't tell me, I won't tell you. Who knows we've chatted?" Bi Li said, "Another big news broke out in Zhongzhou."

"Longgang?"

"This time it's not Longgang, it's the Rain and Mist Forest, which is the Ghost Forest. A research institute over there found that crystal essence is harmful to people."

The colleague immediately said: "The things in Zhongzhou are not as good as those in Dongzhou, and the essence of our place is harmless to people."

"You said the crystal essence here is harmless to people? How do you know?"

"Everybody says that, and the government has always said that."

"... Brainwashed so successfully?" Bi Li muttered, "Dongzhou has regarded Zhongzhou as a strong enemy since a long time ago?"

In the distance, the marshal's convoy drove into a building that looked like a besieged city. Later, a burly middle-aged man in military uniform got out of the car and walked into a passage under the guard of many people. The guards greeted him Salute: "Marshal."

Zhong Ze nodded slightly, walked through the tall and spacious passage, and came to a place as busy as a factory.

"Marshal." An old man with a half-bald head quickly walked up to him.

"Professor," Zhong Ze said, "Have you seen the video about the crystal essence released by Zhongzhou?"

"Look, it should be true." The old man said.

"You didn't discover the problems that Zhongzhou discovered before?"

"..." The old man was speechless.It's not that their research level is not good, it's that they don't have enough research materials, and the crystal essence sent to them is only a dozen bottles, which cannot be wasted. ——He felt that the crystal marrow experiment in Zhongzhou must have been piled up with a lot of crystal marrow.

Zhong Ze looked at the old man and said, "What happened to that man?"

"In good condition." The old man hesitated, and said, "But something happened the day before yesterday. His nurse accidentally injured him while nursing him, and his wound healed quickly—he was injured. The wound will heal on its own."

"Oh?" Zhong Ze raised one of his eyebrows. "Go, take me to have a look."

A few minutes later, they came to a room that looked like an intensive care unit. They stood behind the tempered glass and looked at the person on the bed—that was a person who was missed by many people: Boss Jin.

Boss Jin lay flat on the bed, motionless, with a transparent breathing mask covering his face, which made him look like a critically ill patient in a coma.

Under Zhong Ze's eyelids, Boss Jin's left arm was cut with a wound, and the blood flowed out, but the blood soon stopped. After a while, wipe off the blood, and you can see that the wound has disappeared, and the skin has changed again. intact.

Zhong Ze: "Self-healing alienated person?"

"should be."

"I didn't expect him to be both a supernatural being and an alienated being." Zhong Ze said.

"Do you need to study him further?"

"No, just keep an eye on him, don't make mistakes."

"Yes."

The two left the ward and walked to the corridor. On the other side of the corridor is glass, through which you can see the "factory area" below, where many people in white coats are working.

Zhong Ze remembered one thing: "How about the Zhongzhou researcher I sent over?"

"He has already copied the mutant mouse cells from Zhongzhou, and they are currently being improved."

"Not bad." Zhong Ze was a little happy, and his serious face relaxed a little.

"He may do something very dangerous..."

"Very well, try to meet all his needs and let him play to the fullest." Zhong Ze said.

"……OK."

……

Rain and Fog Forest Research Institute.

Shi Yan frowned as he watched the video of the upright rabbit being rebroadcasted on the TV news.

He Hengchuan asked: "Do you think it's too cruel?"

Shi Yan looked at him and said nothing.

He Hengchuan said nostalgicly: "The first time I experimented with mice and rabbits, I couldn't do it at all, and then I was scolded by the teacher, who said that it was our job, and we had to be worthy of the wages paid by the unit... ..."

"..." Shi Yan felt that he was being ridiculed, he was now the one who paid the salary.

"The teacher you're talking about is Director Ke?" Ruo Pu stopped He Hengchuan, "He's fooling you, he doesn't work for salary, he works purely for hobbies, and his interests don't stop at He used a small white mouse and a small rabbit as an experiment, and we all know what happened to him afterwards."

He Hengchuan was a little flustered, that's how he was, as long as he felt that the atmosphere was not right, he would have a certain degree of social panic.

Shi Yan skillfully blocked the mold ability that he was beginning to show signs of getting out of control, and said: "Brother He should just want to say that someone has to do all the work. That's right, someone has to pay the bill, and there is always research on the Rain and Fog Forest. .”

He can now understand how his brother established the Yuncheng Research Institute at the beginning of the advent of the supernatural power. The reason should be the same as he is now, because some things need to be done by someone.

He Hengchuan nodded: "Yes, there are so many mutated animals and plants in the Rain and Mist Forest. No matter what the reason is, they all need to be studied."

"Yeah." Ruopu looked at the TV, then looked out the window—he heard some people talking, and he intercepted a small paragraph that aroused his interest, "I heard that people on the Internet took a piece for Jingsui." New code name, call it 'Bloodworm'."

He Hengchuan was thoughtful: "A 'worm'?"

Ruopu said: "The emotional color of the word 'blood worm' is negative, which shows that people's impression of crystal essence is negative."
