The car body shook slightly, and Trista fell asleep before she could think of any way to pass the time.She rushed back to DC from New York this morning, and she was already tired enough.

Rhett was so focused on the book that he didn't realize Trista had fallen asleep until he read it for the fifth time.

The sun shone in through the car window, making her blonde hair glisten.The profile of her face looks extremely perfect, completely in line with the golden section in aesthetics.

Rhett put down the book, and he reached over to draw the curtains out of the sun.

Sensing the movement of the people around her, Trista woke up suddenly.She has never been a person who can sleep soundly in a strange environment. She has been used to living alone all year round, so she will not be so defenseless, "Ah, what time is it?"

"It's only been 10 minutes." Reid quickly withdrew his hand and put it on the book obediently.

Trista rubbed her eyes and sat up immediately, "Then let's... let's play chess."

"You brought chess?" Rhett was a little surprised. Although she had prepared luggage, who would bring a set of chess with her?

"I didn't bring it, but I can draw." Trista took out all the paper and pens in the luggage. She drew the chessboard and chess pieces, then cut them out with scissors, and wrapped them with tape. Barely can also be under.

Reid's hands are also a little itchy recently. He hasn't met an opponent for a long time, so he can only play against himself.

"I'm not very good at chess. I usually like to play Go online." Trista saved herself first. She knew that with Rhett's intelligence, the strength of the flag must be at the international level.

"Then we can also play Go." Reid is also interested in Go, but he plays less.

"But it's too troublesome to draw Go." Trista laughed, how many black and white pieces did she have to draw.

"That's right, then you play white." Reid asked Trista to start the game first. He didn't know how she played, but it was right that she couldn't surpass him.

Trista didn't give in, and took the white piece directly.

The two played like this. Trista's thinking time was obviously longer. In order not to make her too strenuous, Reid also extended the time for playing chess.

Morgan once told him to learn to take care of other people's feelings, especially those you care about.No one is perfect, even Rhett has flaws.Being laughed at by others for your flaws is definitely not a good feeling.

Until the announcement in the car reminded the passengers that Philadelphia was coming soon, neither of them had yet to decide the winner.However, Rhett looked relaxed, but Trista looked like she had run a marathon, her makeup was almost gone, "I admit defeat, and I will never play chess with you again."

"You can teach me how to play Go." Reid understood her very well, it's normal to just hide if you can't play Go.

"No, I've taught you, come and beat me again?" Trista packed her luggage and was about to get off the car.

"I can lose to you. Isn't the test of Go is calculation ability?" Reid quickly helped her get the luggage, and gave it a gentleman.

"Honey, shut up!" Trista almost jumped up and covered his mouth, but when she reached his mouth, she made a sudden stop and stopped the car.Her hands touched so many things just now, and she didn't know how many bacteria there were.

Rhett pursed his lips, a little innocently.He freed up a hand and held her hand, "Then let's not talk about chess, tell me first, where is our destination?"

"Matt Museum. I used to have a colleague who changed jobs and came here. Today is not a visit day, so the two of us don't have to squeeze with tourists." Trista moved her fingers slightly, adjusted the angle, He clasped his fingers tightly.

"Matt Museum, you mean the medical museum that houses Einstein's brain?" Rhett was a little surprised. If Trista knew enough people who studied museology, wouldn't he be able to be quiet? Have you quietly visited various museums across the United States and even the world?

"That's right, but we don't have much time, only two hours, and that's when he was on duty." Trista looked at her watch, they still had time.

The two took a taxi directly to the museum, and didn't even leave their luggage at the hotel.

The Matt Museum may be one of the scariest museums in the world. Its collections are not gold and silver jewelry, antique jade, but specimens of various human lesions and deformities.At first part of the collection came from a doctor named Matt, who donated these specimens from his collection to the medical school in order to promote medical progress.

Then the museum was established, collecting more and more specimens, even including Einstein's brain.However, only 13% of them will be exhibited externally, and most of the specimens are only used for research.

For ordinary people, this museum may be a bit too curious, but for these two people, it is a good place to learn all kinds of knowledge.

After saying hello to this friend, the two started this trip to the museum without being disturbed by others.

Rhett knew a lot, and so did Trista.The contents of the chat between the two are complementary, and both of them have areas that they are not good at.

When they came to a skull with a hole in the top, both of them subconsciously took a step back.

"After the discovery of radium, some profiteers claimed that this radioactive element can improve health and aphrodisiac, so they dissolved radium in water and sold it as an energy drink to wealthy businessmen. In the United States in the 20s, the price was 29.95 US dollars per bottle. A rich man named Eben Byers came into contact with this radioactive drink during the treatment of a broken arm and became addicted to it. He drank 1400 bottles of radium thorium water in three years. Because he is from Pittsburgh and New York The Iron Giant, so his death has aroused the world's in-depth research on radioactive substances." Reid looked at the skull and found that it also had the characteristics of being contaminated by radioactive substances.Then he looked down at the label, and sure enough it was a skull from Hiroshima, "To this day, his body buried in Pittsburgh still has a huge amount of radiation."

"Wow, this is really cool, nuclear energy health preservation, Holt is willing to bow down." Trista didn't laugh, there are many more absurd things in the history of human medicine, "It is said that after Madame Curie discovered radium, , she often admired the bright blue light of radium at night with her husband. It was also because of her long-term exposure to these radioactive elements that she eventually died of malignant leukemia."

"She is a great scientist." Reid always admires this kind of people who have made great contributions to mankind. They may not be close to the peak in IQ, but these careers depend on their perseverance to be completed.The same is what he is doing now, and he hopes that after he has accumulated enough experience, he can publish a book that will continue to expand criminal psychology further.

"I have made an outstanding contribution to the progress of mankind." Trista took Reid to the herbarium that is not on public display, "The things we are going to see next may be a little indescribable, if I faint , You have to drag me out. We can’t implicate my friend, the librarians of this museum are very strict in review.”

"Then we can..." Rhett wanted to say that he could leave to eat, but he glanced at the storage warehouse over there and knew that he might not have the next chance to go in and visit.With the choice in front of him, he was really at a loss.

If it was Morgan, he would definitely take Trista to go to the romance immediately.But he is not Morgan, it is difficult for him to choose.

"You can go in arm in arm, then I'll hang on to you." Trista smiled slyly, stretched out her hand and wrapped it around his arm.She also took advantage of the trend to get close to him, and the two were intimate, like a real couple.

"Well, well." Rhett nodded, not rejecting such a gesture.

The two walked into the warehouse, but the first thing they saw was not the glass jars, but several mannequins carefully wrapped in plastic sheets.

These models are not the stereotyped plastic models in the mall, but real human bodies.

"Wow!" Trista was unprepared, and was really taken aback. She threw herself into Rhett's arms, seeking the only living embrace here.

Even Rhett, who has experienced many battles, was a little frightened. This is even more exciting than a horror movie. "These human bodies are... plasticized."

After he stabilized his emotions, he took Trista into the mannequins, looked through the plastic sheet for a while, and he was sure of his conclusion.

Trista didn't have much emotion about this, she was still immersed in the intimate contact between the two.

His hands were warm and soft, so pleasant to the touch.Moreover, the cologne on his body smelled very good, unlike others, which made her nose sensitive like spraying pesticides.

His body was just as it looked, even though he was thin, he still felt safe when he leaned on him.Such a tall man is not for nothing.

"Will the Matt Museum and the Hagens company jointly arrange the exhibition?" Reid has not heard any news about the plastination human body exhibition, and the Hagens family is the only one with plastic human body technology in the world.

It's not because of how difficult this technology is, but because many countries prohibit making human bodies into such specimens for exhibition.

"I haven't heard of it. Could it be that people from the medical school did their own experiments?" Trista has been in the FBI for a while, and she can't help but start to think in the direction of urban legends, "Every year the United States There are tens of thousands of people missing, but not half of them can be found in the end. There will always be a few, and there will be no bones left."

"Similar rumors began to appear on the Internet after these plastination specimens were exhibited for the first time. Some people always worried that going home at night would become the way to the specimen factory." Reid also followed her guess. Go on, "This kind of exhibition is shocking and not accepted by ordinary people. Some conspiracy theories are inevitable. According to the information provided by Hagens himself, the source of his specimens is not too suspicious."

"You mean, the source of the Matt Museum is very suspicious?" Trista turned her head to look at these specimens, she counted, and there were eight, "Many people are willing to donate their bodies every year To the medical school, and how the medical school handles these remains, they themselves should not protest."

"If the procedures are legal, naturally they won't protest." Reid couldn't help frowning when he said this. As knowledgeable as he is, there are some things that he can't fully accept.

"Stop talking!" Trista suddenly felt a cool wind blowing from behind, making her hug Rhett's arm tightly.

Rhett could only feel the warmth of her body, and the softness of her chest.He had never been so close to a girl. Although he knew every organ of the human body, and there were eight carefully crafted human specimens around him, he was still dazed.

From the ancient apes to Homo sapiens, to the present human beings, they are all group animals, and they all need to support each other to live together.

Although the rapid development of modern technology has replaced many things, but the comfort of the body is still only the most effective direct contact.

He is a person who is seldom emotional. He has only loved Maeve in his life, and he has a good impression of the female classmate who bullied him in middle school and the actress Laila.

But now when a beauty falls into his arms, he reacts both psychologically and physically.

Her blond hair was so smooth, and her green eyes were frightened, like the heroine of a black-and-white horror movie.Beautiful, elegant and fragile, desperately in need of a warrior to rescue.

Trista was numb from the wind, and didn't pay attention to Rhett's strangeness at all. She just held his hand tightly, trying to let him warm herself.

At this time, Rhett also got rid of those charming fantasies, and his hair was also blown by this gust of wind.Obviously, this is not some weird association that Trista had because of fear.

"Oh, I'm afraid your visit will end early, and the curator has something to come back early. But tomorrow is still the exhibition day, you can buy tickets to come in." Trista's friend came in and regretfully informed the two of them.

Trista patted her chest to catch her breath.She pulled Rhett and quickly walked out of the museum full of death.

"I remember you said you were an atheist." Rhett didn't expect that she was really frightened, and the blush on her face disappeared.He thought it was a little funny, she had obviously been in contact with so many histories and corpses of various things.

"I insist on being godless, but I never said that there are no ghosts. In this world, evil things are always more likely than holy ones." Trista pouted, thinking that she should be more cautious when speaking in the future .No matter what was said, he would remember it and laugh at himself.

"If it is explained by quantum mechanics and string theory, ghosts are completely reasonable. Recently, some scientists believe that the human soul will go to another universe after leaving the body. Just like every atom in our body, We were all born in the big bang. And before the big bang, we all existed in another universe." Rhett looked at Trista, and he saw that she was unhappy, so he tried to coax her with scientific theories.

"So you shouldn't be so repulsive to contact with people. After all, we were all crowded together during the big bang." Trista laughed, and she realized his efforts.

"But at the time of the big bang, no organic organisms were born yet. How can there be so many germs like now?" Reid looked down at the hands that the two were holding. He was surprised that he had gotten used to it so quickly. In order to be so close to her, "And there are huge differences between people, but I am similar to you, so I can exchange flora with you with peace of mind."

"I'm so honored, Dr. Rhett." Trista laughed loudly, he was so special when he said love words, he was simply the cutest nerd in the universe.

"Me too, Dr. Mansbridge." Rhett also smiled, and at this moment he finally felt the joy of being in love.His first love ended too quickly, so that he couldn't understand it deeply.The second love affair is full of suspense and pain. He has been pursuing Maeve hard, but Maeve hardly gives him any chance.They couldn't have a sweet moment until the end.

The happiness he had expected for so long was brought by Trista.

My heart was warm and sweet, and the air around me became fresh.Although he knew that this was the effect of hormones, but it was the first time that he realized that his sense of taste, smell and feeling were deceived by happiness, completely defeating the real world.
