This student is an orphan from the mountains. He has been sponsored by the doctoral student since junior high school, through high school, university, and now as a doctoral assistant.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiao quickly comforted him.
"Don't panic, tell me slowly, what exactly happened?"
The student took a deep breath, trying to make his words clearer.
"When I entered the study, the doctor was sitting at the table with his head buried in a pile of books. I assumed he was doing research, so I didn't think much of it."
"But when I got closer, I realized... the doctor really died a terrible death. There were some documents scattered around him, and a diary."
Jiang Xiao frowned; he knew this doctor had been researching viruses.
Could his death be related to this?
Could it be that he was accidentally infected while researching viruses?
That would be terrible!
The student in front of us wasn't wearing protective gear, nor were the elderly scholars in the conference room.
If the doctor gets infected, then the room, and even the entire base, will be doomed!
The student nodded. Although his legs were still trembling slightly, he resolutely led the way to the doctor's study with Jiang Xiao's support.
The doctor sat there quietly, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he were simply lost in deep thought.
The scattered books and materials on the table were clearly the results of his research before his death.
But what's shocking is his body.
The abdomen was completely hollowed out, and the lower limbs had disappeared!
"Oh my God!"
Some people covered their mouths to prevent themselves from screaming.
Many people were so frightened by the scene before them that they collapsed to the ground, unable to get up no matter what they did.
B2's face was extremely gloomy, and he immediately ordered all surveillance footage to be pulled up.
Investigate thoroughly!
Judging from his appearance alone, he immediately felt that the doctor had been deliberately murdered.
How come?
At the first base in Shanghai and Hong Kong, they committed atrocities right under his nose!
However, Jiang Xiao stopped him and then pointed to the doctor's face, or more precisely, told B2 to pay attention to the doctor's expression.
The doctor's face showed obvious contemplation, without a trace of pain.
"If someone really emptied his internal organs and cut off his legs, would he still be able to maintain any composure?"
When Jiang Xiao spoke, the air in the room became heavy, and everyone held their breath.
Could it be that He intervened?
The historians who had initially accompanied Jiang Xiao looked extremely grim.
Jiang Xiao slowly walked to the table, his hand gently turning the pages of the documents in front of the doctor. Each page might contain the doctor's thoughts before his death.
Suddenly, his finger stopped on an open diary.
There were records of the doctor's final research findings, the handwriting was messy, but every word revealed a sense of urgency and determination.
"Virus. Variant, unconventional path. It has arrived."
Jiang Xiao muttered to himself, countless thoughts flashing through his mind.
"He must have discovered important clues about the virus before he died."
Jiang Xiao continued, his voice trembling slightly.
They slowly flipped through the doctor's diary, trying to find that crucial clue.
The contents of the diary were becoming increasingly shocking; the doctor's research on the virus had become quite in-depth.
This mutation is not just a biological change, but also involves some areas that are difficult for them to understand.
"look here!"
Jiang Xiao's finger landed on a certain page of the diary.
"He mentioned the word 'dimension.' Does this mean that the virus's transmission routes are no longer limited to the three-dimensional space we know?"
This speculation exploded in the room like a bombshell.
If this conjecture is true, then they are facing not just a rampant plague, but a challenge to the limits of human cognition.
"Dad, look at these pieces of paper!"
Shi Shi picked up a few sheets of "draft paper" from the ground beside her.
Jiang Xiao froze for a moment the instant he saw the pattern.
It really was Him
It's that familiar scribbles again!
It seems the doctor must have discovered "His" secret, which is why he died such a tragic death.

"And more and more!"
Shi Shi may not be very intelligent, but she is quick to act and notices that Jiang Xiao cares a lot about those "draft papers".
She found a few more in the room.
Something's not right. This virus doesn't seem to be as simple as a 'living organism'.
Should we continue this research? I feel that if we continue, something very bad will happen to my body.
[Hmph, superstition and nonsense! As a staunch materialist, I don't believe anything strange will happen to me!]
Interesting, I'll see what's going on behind this!
Hey, I saw it.
Is there really hope for humanity?
[I think I've stumbled into the realm of theology?]
If something happens to me one day, remember to immediately contact my teacher, Mr. Peng. I told him something before.
The rest is just scribbles.
It seems the PhD student's understanding was flawed.
However, it seems he knew in advance that this day would come, so he left some "scribbles" on the draft paper that were not actually "scribbles".
Jiang Xiao's intuition told him that the graffiti, unlike the scribbles, must have a deeper meaning.
This "profound meaning" is probably only understood by "Old Mr. Peng" in the doctoral draft paper.
The saying that science ends in theology has once again proven true.
Of course, many people would say that this is simply because current science cannot explain it, which is why it is named theology.
However, if science cannot explain it, then it is undeniably theology.
For example, if you bring a lighter back to the time of the Upper Cave Man, then you are the "God of Fire".
If you have a high-powered flashlight, then you are the "sun god".
Let alone the era of the Upper Cave Man.
If you bring a stun gun back to ancient times, the ancients would think you are the reincarnation of the Thunder God.
If you bring a box of commonly used medicines, you're a miracle doctor.
What human cognitive thinking cannot comprehend can only be called "god".
Who is Elder Peng?
After reading the draft paper, Jiang Xiao looked up and asked.
"He is the founder of our world's medical field, he is on the first page of textbooks, and he has now retired."
"Are you looking for him?"
"Find him! The doctor can't have died in vain!"
"But."
The historians who followed hesitated, after all, Peng was quite old, and they were afraid that if he were to get involved in this incident, it might be too much for him.
b2 was silent for a moment, then gave the order.
"Immediately seal off the doctor's study. All documents must be thoroughly investigated. No one is allowed to enter without authorization. Also, do not contact Elder Peng for now. He is a vital national asset; we cannot allow anything to happen to him."
B2 was originally from the Institute of the Strange and Unusual, so they quickly accepted the result of the doctor's unnatural death.
At the same time, he also led Jiang Xiao, Wang Dayong, and others to the monitoring room.
