"I heard that there was a fight on the opposite street."
"I heard that someone's clothes burst suddenly, and snake scales grew on his body, like a monster. Moreover, he was so powerful that he took out ten punks in twos and twos, and some of them died on the spot."
"What's going on?" Su Jing's pupils shrank slightly, and when he mentioned the snake scales on his body, Su Jing naturally thought of Lu Yiming's research in the basement, but all the research materials, super active hormones, and snake scales should have been taken away by him. Let the invisible lizard observe secretly for a few days to make sure that Lu Yiming did not study it any more.Could it be that someone else is doing this kind of research again?
Chapter 466 The Undercurrent Surges
Su Jing drove the car forward, and saw a dozen police cars parked in front from a distance, and a place was surrounded by the police. Su Jing didn't go forward to join in the fun, so he turned a corner at the intersection and drove home from another road.
After returning home, he immediately turned on the computer to check the surveillance video from the invisible lizard.Fast forward to check, but from the beginning to the end, I didn't see any movement from Lu Yiming. He really didn't study the super active hormone anymore.
Just when Su Jing was about to turn off the computer, he suddenly frowned slightly, because he saw the last part, so the screen was not a video, but a live surveillance, and besides Lu Yiming and Lu Hong, there was actually Wang Xiao, Shao Le, Zhao Ming and others, obviously, the special fight incident alarmed the SWAT team. The appearance of scales on the body is too special, so it is easy to investigate Lu Yiming by following the clues.After all, Lu Yiming has all the procedures in place. Although it is legal, it cannot be hidden.
"Mr. Lu, what do you think about this?" Wang Xiao took out his mobile phone and opened a video that he got from a passer-by. A young man was thrown out like a rag, and then he got into the sewer and escaped. Of course, the whole process was accompanied by the screams of many passers-by.
"I know what Police Officer Wang thinks, but as you can see, we have stopped researching hyperactive hormones. Last time all the materials, hormones, and snake scales were stolen, and we even called the police. We have done There is only one human experimenter. His name is Ma Fucang. He has cancer. In order to make money for his daughter and son, he signed a human experiment contract with us. After stopping the injection of hyperactive hormones, the snake scales on his body have disappeared. As for the person in the video , I don’t know.” Lu Yiming said.
"Then you mean that the thieves are continuing this research?" Wang Xiao asked.
"I don't dare to say that." Lu Yiming said, he subconsciously felt that it might be Su Jing who stole these things. Of course, don't say there is no evidence, even if there is evidence, he would not dare to speak nonsense.He was a little puzzled, wondering if it was Su Jing who was experimenting secretly?
"Where's your researcher?" Wang Xiao asked.
"They're doing other research, so I'll call them over now." Lu Yiming called everyone over. After checking the list, Wang Xiao frowned and asked, "Why is there one person missing? Where is this Duan Rong?"
"After he was stolen here, he resigned." Lu Yiming said.
"Go and bring this Duan Rong here." Wang Xiao ordered, Zhao Ming took the two of them to find Duan Rong, and Wang Xiao continued to ask Lu Yiming and the researchers here.After a while, Zhao Ming came back, but did not bring Duan Rong, and said, "Duan Rong is missing, his residence has been evacuated, but he must have left in a hurry and left some things behind."
As he said that, Zhao Ming took out a few pieces of waste paper with scrawled handwriting in a plastic bag, and a few fragments of test tubes. Seeing this scene, the expressions of Lu Yiming, Lu Hong, and the researchers all changed slightly. After Wang Xiao took it and looked at it for a while, he handed it to the researcher and said, "These are studies on hyperactive hormones?"
A thin middle-aged man in a white coat took a closer look at the waste paper for a while, his face became even more ugly, and he used tweezers to pick out a fragment of a test tube, tested the mucus on it, and said angrily: "This is indeed a super active hormone, it is this The bastards emptied our lab."
Lu Yiming's face was gloomy. He didn't think it was Duan Rong who emptied the laboratory, because even if he had the courage, he didn't have the ability to defy the sky. In his impression, only a strange person like Su Jing could do it.However, there is still a lot of time before the laboratory is emptied. As a researcher, Duan Rong quietly stole the hyperactive hormones and materials. It is not very difficult.
In retrospect, Duan Rong once proposed to expand human experiments. He felt that the experiment on one person was completely an exception. It should be increased to at least ten people, preferably more than 100 people, in order to really see the effect.It's just that human experiments can't be messed up, if something goes wrong, it will be troublesome, so Lu Yiming didn't agree.Could it be that Duan Rong had a different heart since then?
Lu Yiming's face was a bit ugly. The time he emptied the laboratory was probably Su Jing. He had nothing to say. Whoever made him provoke Su Jing could not afford to provoke him.However, what kind of green onion is this period of time, and he actually stole the research results under his nose, and he really didn't want to live.
However, Lu Yiming knew that the super-active hormone caused this kind of murder, and the matter became serious, and he could no longer intervene, and he is now a suspect, let alone messing around. What he should do is to cooperate with the police and hand everything over to the police. Handle it to the police, it is a blessing that this matter can be separated, and said: "Officer Wang, no matter what, this case is inseparable from my laboratory, and I am also responsible, so I will cooperate with you and hope to catch it as soon as possible Those who live in secret to carry out human experiments, solve this case as soon as possible.”
……
Su Jing, who watched this surveillance video, frowned tightly.Because he knew that he did not conduct human experiments on superactive hormones, he could basically conclude that it was Duan Rong who did it.
"Some people just like to play dead." Su Jing was a little helpless, and never thought that the laboratory would have leaked its secrets long ago.However, this matter is really getting big now, and it is really inconvenient for him to intervene.
"Then again, it's not easy for an ordinary person to use the super active hormone extracted from the snake scales of Meng Meier to possess such combat power. It's really not easy for a snake girl fighter who breaks the sky." Su Jing sighed. Dao, but even if this super active hormone is powerful, he will never use it, let alone whether this hormone has any effect on his super strong body, even if it has an effect, the side effects alone are not worth using.
Watching the video, the guy with snake scales not only looks ugly, but also has red eyes, as if he is going to lose his mind.Moreover, judging from the experiment diary on the laboratory data, people will become extremely weak after the hormone effect passes.
After more than an hour, Wang Xiao came to the door and asked Su Jing to borrow a dog. Su Jing was not good at intervening, so he just wanted to help out, so he readily borrowed Ah Er, Ah San, and Ah Si, and only asked Wang Xiao Protect them.
"I hope Brother Wang can solve this case as soon as possible and bring Duan Rong to justice." Su Jing didn't intervene too much, the rest was the police's business, he entered the hyperspace garbage station to sort out the leftover garbage.
Chapter 467 Scary Skull
Su Jing continued to sort out the garbage, this time there was too much garbage, it was really time-consuming.Moreover, many of the rubbish were real rubbish, looking left and right, and after hours of rummaging, they failed to find anything of value.
"Well, what is this?" Su Jing dug out a bunch of things, picked them up and unfolded them, and found that they were part of the bead curtain.The purple beads with a diameter of about one centimeter on it are very bright and beautiful.
"Could it be another gem?" Su Jing's eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately took out tools such as a magnifying glass, a flashlight, and used his existing knowledge of treasure appraisal to observe.However, after observing for a long time, he couldn't confirm whether it was a gem or not.In order not to miss the treasure, he tried his best to learn about all kinds of gems, but he didn't seem to have this kind of gem in his impression.
"Let's see later, just don't use any worthless crystals." Su Jing put away the bead curtain and continued to sort out the trash.Suddenly, there was a loud yell, and Ah Liu jumped up in panic.
"What's wrong?" Su Jing was taken aback.
"It's scary." Ah Liu jumped a long way before stopping, looking at the garbage dump, his body trembling.
"What scares you so much?" Su Jing was a little puzzled, followed Ah Liu's line of sight, and saw that the garbage seemed to have been touched by Ah Liu, and it was rolling down, and then a skull was exposed.
"Hehe, you are even afraid of this." Su Jing smiled. It is impossible for ordinary dogs to be afraid of this. Dogs are too smart and understand human nature, sometimes it is not a good thing.He walked over, trying to turn the skull out.However, when he was one meter closer to the skull, he stopped suddenly, his pupils shrank slightly, and his face became a bit stern.
From the very beginning, he felt that this pile of garbage was unusual, with a gloomy atmosphere, and even made the pets pacing around, which was very disturbing.Therefore, he guessed that this pile of garbage might come from an ominous place.
However, during the process of rummaging through the garbage, I gradually got used to this eerie atmosphere, so I didn't pay attention to it.But now, he finally knew where this gloomy aura came from.Obviously, it should be emanating from this skull. The closer you get, the more palpitations you feel, making you feel hairy all over your body.It is estimated that this pile of garbage did not come from an ominous place, but that this skull came from an ominous place.
"This skull feels terrible, don't touch it randomly." Su Jing became very cautious. He released his mental power and concentrated on the skull, trying to dig it out, but he was horrified to find that after the mental power approached, he actually There is also a feeling of palpitations.
"Little raccoon, go catch some mice and come back." Su Jing turned her head and said to the little raccoon.
"Meow." The little raccoon, Ari, ran out like a little cheetah without saying a word. After a while, he caught a few mice and came back. Su Jing tamed one of them through mental animal taming, and ordered it to go over and touch it. That skull.
Even though the mouse was tamed and couldn't resist orders, it still knew how to be afraid, trembling with fright, walked over trembling all the way, and finally stretched out its nose and touched the skull.At that moment, Su Jing saw an incredible scene, his pupils shrank suddenly, and the hairs all over his body exploded.
I saw that the mouse was aging rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and its body became dry. In less than 3 minutes, it turned into a mummy and fell to the ground.After a while, it turned into dust directly.
"Ceng Ceng Ceng" Su Jing and the pets backed away one after another, away from that skull, it was simply too scary.
"What kind of skull is that, why is it so scary, wait... this phenomenon, could it be..." Su Jing suddenly remembered, this is the garbage that covers the sky and space. It is the breath of barrenness.People who enter there will age rapidly, and if they stay for a long time, they will age and die.Could this skull come from the ancient forbidden land?
"Nima, although I didn't touch this skull, I stayed in this garbage dump for quite a long time, wouldn't my life be shortened by several years? But fortunately, I didn't touch it. If I did, it would be miserable." Su Jing thought Qiqi, he's in a bit of trouble now, how should he deal with this skull.
"I don't know how to pack it with something, can it isolate the breath?" Su Jing used his mental power to control a titanium alloy box to fly over, quickly covered the skull, and then controlled a mouse to pass, and found that the mouse would still age, but Significantly slower.
Su Jing thought for a while, went to the Tianci Materials Research Institute, got a box of various materials of the same size and went home, and then covered the skull layer by layer, covering a total of ten layers, and it was completely sealed. .
Then let the mouse approach and observed for two days, and found that the mouse did not show any signs of aging, so Su Jing was relieved.This skull must be kept safe, otherwise it may cause dire consequences.
"However, if it is used properly, it is also a terrible weapon." Su Jing thought for a while, and suddenly released the octopus from the spirit beast bag. This octopus was so thin that it was starved by Su Jing , but it is so stubborn that even if Su Jing's mental power soars, it is still difficult to mentally tame the beast.
"This time, I'll let you try something even scarier." Su Jing didn't bother to negotiate with the octopus at all, and directly opened the sealed box with mental power. When he got close to the octopus, the octopus' face suddenly changed, but it was bound by the spider silk, and it couldn't help it. move.
The octopus touched the skull, and its body began to age, but compared with the mouse, the speed was significantly slower, and it could not be seen unless you looked carefully.However, the octopus clearly felt the horror of the skull, and was so frightened that it was not afraid of death. For the first time, it showed a begging look to Su Jing, and yelled for help.
At this moment, Su Jing suddenly released his mental power and invaded the brain of the octopus. The octopus was mentally exhausted due to injury and hunger, and now it was tortured by the breath of the skeleton, so it didn't have much energy to resist.Su Jing's mental power took the opportunity to drive straight in, quickly occupied the sea of consciousness of the octopus, and finally tamed it successfully.
Then, Su Jing hurriedly moved the box with mental power, removed the skull, and then completely sealed it again and put it in the storage bag.No matter how useful this skull is, it is a dangerous item in itself, which cannot change the fact.
Su Jing hurriedly took out many jade-toothed fish from the spirit animal bag, and fed them to the octopus, for fear that it would die. The dying octopus finally regained some vitality and was pulled back from the brink of death.
"If you obey earlier, you won't have to suffer all these things. Why bother?" Su Jing said with a chuckle. In this way, the octopus has completely become his fighting power.This octopus is not only powerful, but also capable of fighting both in the sea and on land, so it is really useful.
Chapter 468 What else can scare me?
It took another two days before Su Jing finally sorted out all the garbage, and found no other garbage that looked valuable.The garbage that was determined to be useless was all transported to the garbage dump, and the garbage that was not sure was collected as usual.
In the next few days, he lived a relatively leisurely life, exercising his body with "Basic Body Refining Boxing Techniques" every day, strengthening his body with sources, cultivating his mood with guqin, pictures of beauties, and black gold stone tea trays, eating jade tooth fish, and drinking leaves from the world of immortality of tea.
The body has been strengthened again, and the progress is not small, and the boxing strength has reached 1300kg.The mental power has not increased much, and the mental control is still 230 jin, but the control of the mental power is much more proficient. The same power, if used well, can also increase a lot of power.
The news about the "Snake Scale Madman" caused a lot of trouble on the Internet, but most people thought it was a strange disease, so it didn't cause too much panic.Wang Xiao's investigation did not yield any results. The murderer with snake scales did not reappear, as if he disappeared out of thin air, and Duan Rong disappeared without a trace, as if he had evaporated from the world.
On this day, Su Jing got a piece of good news from Wang Zhuo—the location of the research institute has been selected.It was a research institute in itself, and antimatter was also studied in it, but due to improper management and insufficient funds, it was close to bankruptcy and was abandoned for more than half a month.The equipment inside can still be used directly. Although it may not meet Su Jing's requirements, at least there is a certain foundation.
"Brother Zhuo, thank you for finding such a good place." Su Jing drove and stopped in front of a rather impressive research institute. A big sign on the gate read "Institute of Advanced Physics". This research institute occupies an area of 20136 square meters. Square meters, located in the corner of the industrial area, the surrounding area is relatively open, and there is a large hydroelectric power station nearby, which directly supplies power here.
"Hehe, it's also luck." Wang Zhuo smiled. Originally, he wanted to find a place and transform it into a research institute, but since there is a ready-made one, it is naturally better, because it will close down soon, and the transfer fee will not be too high. Thirty-five million.Comparing the area of this research institute and the equipment inside, it is quite worthwhile.
"That's nothing to say, it's here." Su Jing said.
"Don't worry, let's go in and have a look first." Wang Zhuo and Su Jing stepped forward.
A tall, middle-aged man with a somewhat bald head came out to greet him. Wang Zhuo introduced him as the director of the research institute.When he saw Su Jing, a look of surprise flashed across his face, he looked Su Jing up and down a few times, thinking that Su Jing must be a rich second generation, he has nothing to do and wants to engage in some high-tech, right?However, he finally realized that research institutes often burn money, and it is difficult to make a profit. It is usually run by the state, and it is difficult for private individuals to afford it. It should not be long before this rich second generation will Eat your ass off.
However, this bald middle-aged man certainly wouldn't speak his mind, as long as this mess can be handed over to Su Jing, everything will be fine.Afterwards, what this Su Jing became like has nothing to do with me.
The balding middle-aged man took Wang Zhuo and Su Jing in for a visit. There were no scientists doing research, and it was empty.However, those equipments are indeed quite complete, and most of them are quite new, so they should be useful.
One was eager to transfer, and the other was eager to buy, so there was almost no time wasted, and the transfer agreement was signed quickly.The price has been slightly suppressed, 300 million. According to Wang Zhuo, the price should be lowered to 3000 million after a little delay.However, Su Jing didn't want to waste time for such a few million, and if someone else snatched it first, he would regret it too late.
"A Jing, how are you going to start?" Wang Zhuo asked with a smile, very curious in his heart, knowing Su Jing for so long, knowing that Su Jing rarely does things that are not sure, Su Jing is so persistent in spending huge sums of money to study antimatter, What kind of confidence do you have?
"Hehe, it's still early, and the equipment is not enough." Su Jing smiled.
"Remember to tell me any good news." Wang Zhuo said with a smile.
"Okay." Su Jing nodded, but she was thinking in her heart, I'm sorry Brother Zhuo, I can't tell you this.
After Wang Zhuo left, Su Jing called and called Pan Qiao over. Pan Qiao looked nostalgic when he saw the institute. As a scientist, he hadn't been in the institute for a long time.
"I'm introducing a colleague to you. I told you before that I need someone who can absolutely keep it secret and will never betray you. You can't tell anyone else about this colleague, including your sister." Su Jing said.
"Okay." Pan Qiao was a little surprised, why should a colleague be so mysterious, but he agreed directly.
"Be prepared mentally, don't be scared when you see him." Su Jing said.
"Hehe, after seeing your methods, what else can scare me?" Pan Qiao said with a smile, disapproving.
Su Jing clapped her hands, and then there was the sound of footsteps around the corner, and a black figure stepped out from the shadows.Pan Qiao looked over at the sound, his indifferent expression suddenly turned into panic, his face turned pale, he subconsciously stepped back, knocked over a chair, and exclaimed, "What... what monster?"
"Didn't you say that there is something else that can scare you?" Su Jing smiled.
"But, this... this..." Pan Qiao was so shocked that he could hardly speak, and swallowed hard.He twisted his thigh hard, and the severe pain told him that all this was not a dream.
The monster around the corner continued to walk out, revealing its entire body. It was two or three meters tall, with a taupe body. Its limbs were long and thin like the feet of a beetle. Its head was disproportionately large, forming a vertical Rhombus-shaped, with many long tentacles protruding from the back, it looks very scary.The diamond-shaped head suddenly split in half from the middle, exposing another small head and half of a small body. The head and body inside looked like a thin old man, and looked particularly pervasive.
Pan Qiao was so frightened that he took another step back, his footsteps wobbled, and he almost failed to stand still. Su Jing stretched out his hand to support him, and said with a smile: "This is your colleague who will work in the future, or your boss, you have to Listen to it."
"What... what is this?" Pan Qiao smiled wryly, don't talk so lightly, okay, this colleague who suddenly appeared is too scary.Pan Qiao felt that his three views were collapsing.
"This is an alien." Su Jing said lightly.
"Okay, let me take it easy." Pan Qiao was a little speechless. Could it be that something major happened to the earth while he was in a coma?Are aliens not surprising?That's not right, I checked the news on the Internet a few days ago, except for the murderer with scales on his body, which is a bit shocking, everything else is normal. That person has snake scales, and he may have been infected by something.However, this alien is too shocking.Pan Qiao was even more shocked. Who is Su Jing?
"You don't have to slow down, I'll help you slow down." Su Jing immediately released her mental power, invaded Pan Qiao's brain, and performed hypnosis.
Su Jing's purpose from the beginning was to let Pan Qiao be the puppet of the aliens, so that it would be convenient for him to do things. Otherwise, the aliens would not be able to respond to someone who came to inspect him. He would have to negotiate with the power station in terms of electricity, or negotiate with the outside world in other aspects. Aliens can't come forward, even buying equipment to sign for express delivery, aliens can't do it.In short, it would be too inconvenient just to have aliens here.
However, aliens do not have the ability to hypnotize, they are only controlled by brain waves, so working with Pan Qiao in this way, it is inevitable that Pan Qiao will see it.Even if they can hide, hide and hide, how can they cooperate with each other to produce antimatter?
Therefore, Su Jing simply let Pan Qiao see the alien, but forcibly hypnotized him, so that he could not remember the appearance of the alien, and when he saw the alien, he regarded it as an ordinary colleague.This is the most high-end hypnosis. If Pan Qiao hadn't let go of his mind and allowed Su Jing to perform a complete hypnosis, even if Su Jing's mental power has skyrocketed recently, he would not be able to do it.
Even if he didn't hypnotize Pan Qiao, Pan Qiao would not betray Su Shi, nor would he tell the aliens.However, he didn't betray in his heart, and he might reveal some clues inadvertently, so hypnotized would be more secure.
"Okay, let's start working." Su Jing completed the hypnosis and put away her mental power.
"Okay." Pan Qiao nodded, then looked at the alien with a calm face, just like looking at an ordinary colleague whom he sees every day, and said, "Brother Xing, where do we start?"
Chapter 469 What the hell is that guy
In the next few days, Su Jing spent another 4000 million to purchase a batch of equipment, and everything was ready.Some equipment that was not needed for antimatter research was either sold off or sent to the Tianci Research Institute.
The work of the aliens and Pan Qiao started. First, an antimatter container was manufactured, and then ten antihydrogen atoms were manufactured. Of course, ten antihydrogen atoms are too light to be measured in grams.
Su Jing used the antimatter container to bring the ten antihydrogen atoms into the hyperspace garbage station, opened the antimatter container, and immediately the special magnetic field in the hyperspace garbage station was generated again, absorbing the ten antihydrogen atoms.Su Jing noticed that the space of the garbage station has expanded a little.
"The guess is correct. This garbage station uses antimatter as its energy source, and antimatter can expand the space." Su Jing heaved a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face, and the expansion of the garbage station is just around the corner.
"The only problem now is money. It took 300 million yuan to buy the research institute and equipment, but in the past few days, there have been various incomes, and now the balance is 8000 million yuan. It takes time to manufacture antimatter, but it is not enough There is no need to rush to use up the 8000 million yuan at once. I hope that those lapis lazuli, white truffle fungus, red-silicon-calumite, and jadeite can be auctioned for a high price." Su Jing went to the research institute again, Discussed with the aliens, first gave [-] million to let them control.In the future, Su Jing only needs to transfer money to the aliens, and there is basically no need for Su Jing to take care of it here.
"Dong dong dong." There was a knock on the door. Through the surveillance video, a delicate and thin girl was standing at the door with a relaxed and lively smile. It was Pan Qiao's younger sister, Pan Xue.
"Why is your sister here again?" Su Jing was a little speechless.
"I told her not to come, but there's nothing I can do if she doesn't listen." Pan Qiao said helplessly.
"You continue to work, I'll tell her to go." Su Jing was also a little helpless. Although Su Jing was a little impatient with such a kind girl, she couldn't bear to beat and scold her.
"Didn't you say that this is an important place for research, so you can't just come here?" Su Jing walked out of the door and said.
"I'm just here to deliver something to you and your brother. My brother started working not long after he was discharged from the hospital. I'm a little worried, but seeing that he's doing well after working for a few days, I'm relieved. I won't come here often in the future. " Pan Xue showed a look of grievance on her face, and secretly glanced at Su Jing.
"Didn't your brother live in the same apartment with you, so we can see you after work?" Su Jing said.
"This is the dish I made, try it if it tastes good." Pan Xue answered irrelevantly, and handed two boxes of meals to Su Jing.
"You probably forgot that I'm the little chef in Qingyun Town." Su Jing smiled and said.
"Hee hee, I eat too much delicacies from mountains and seas, and it's not bad to eat home-cooked meals once in a while. If you think I don't cook well, teach me next time."
"Next time, please eat my cooking."
"Really?" Pan Xue's eyes lit up.
"Of course it's true. I never lie. Well, I'm going to work. You can go back."
"This is my brother's, help me give it to him."
When Su Jing entered the research institute, Pan Xue looked at Su Jing's back and knew that Su Jing had entered the door, so she turned and left. She seemed in a good mood, with a smile on her face, and her steps were brisk, bouncing around.Maybe it's because the burden on my body is gone, maybe it's because I saw my idol.After walking for a while, Pan Xue received a call. She looked at the caller ID, answered it quickly, and called affectionately, "Sister Nalan."
