Upon seeing the notice, Yan Qing understood. It seemed that this was a lock with a self-destruct mechanism.
Xiao Tao also saw the object that resembled a Luban lock, and her little brows furrowed.
"Big sister, that lock has a very familiar scent to me. I think I know the person who made this lock."
Xiao Tao spoke with great uncertainty, feeling as if she were dreaming, both real and unreal.
Yan Qing had long known that Xiao Tao had a special constitution. Although Xiao Zhonglin and his wife had said that Xiao Tao had accidentally awakened her medicinal spirit body, she always felt that there was more to it than that. There must be other secrets about Xiao Tao.
Yan Qing was inclined to believe what she said. After all, there were two people who had never shown up in her life. One was the woman in white who got on the bus halfway, and the other was the rumored Dean Xiao, who supposedly never existed.
She firmly believes that there is at least one connection between Xiaotao and these two people.
The space capsule looked locked, so Yan Qing continued searching and finally found a small room that resembled a data room not far away.
The room's style seemed to have returned to that of the 1990s, and almost all the documents were handwritten notebooks.
Yan Qing picked up a notebook labeled "Experiment Records" and opened it to read.
The notebook contained a young man's bold conjecture, a crazy conjecture called "Human Gene Evolution Experiment".
The notebook mentions that the author once inadvertently came into contact with a reclusive esoteric sect member who had lived in seclusion for thousands of years, and learned a secret about the human body from them.
In Taoism, humans are considered to be the head of the five elements of heaven and earth, because the human body is a complete cycle of the five elements, a balanced energy body formed by the harmony of yin and yang.
Therefore, even if you do nothing, your body will automatically absorb the five elements of energy from heaven and earth and store them in your blood.
However, due to the decline of spiritual energy in this Dharma-ending Age, even those with cultivation abilities find it difficult to truly cultivate spiritual power within their bodies. But this does not mean that there is no spiritual power within the human body; on the contrary, there is not only spiritual power, but also a considerable amount.
However, due to the weakness of the human body and mind, they cannot meet the minimum requirements for awakening spiritual power, so they can only rely on external forces.
Therefore, this person boldly proposed a hypothesis: if the energy potential of many people were extracted and made into a gene-enhancing drug, and given to someone with greater potential, that person would have a high probability of directly breaking through the constraints of the external environment and awakening as a true cultivator.
Upon seeing this, Yan Qing couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement. This person really dared to think!
Looking back at the overwhelming number of test tubes outside, it seems that he not only dared to think about it, but also actually put it into experimentation.
How insane!
Next comes the specific steps this person took to carry out the plan. Judging from the handwriting, this person had been preparing for at least several years.
Because he only wrote one sentence at the very bottom of the diary:
With the east wind rising, everything is ready.
Finally, something surprising happened. The signature at the end of the diary was a name she never expected.
—Xiao Zhonglin! How could it be him?!
Yan Qing patted Xiao Tao's head, finding it hard to reconcile the gentle father she remembered with the owner of the diary before her. The difference was simply too great!
And most importantly, the dates on the diary don't match up at all.
She remembered that Xiao Zhonglin had said that he and his wife had passed away a year ago from illness, and that they were only in their early thirties when they died, very young.
The diary in her hand clearly showed the date, with the last entry being February 16, 1993.
Thirty years have passed since then.
Judging from the age listed in the diary, Xiao Zhonglin was at least in his twenties when he wrote it. The diary mentions that he was already married and established in his career, indicating that he couldn't have been much younger.
Even if we assume he was in his twenties, he must have been at least in his fifties when he died. It's impossible for him to look so young! After all, there's a huge difference between being in your fifties and your early thirties.
In addition, Xiaotao's age doesn't match up. According to the diary, she should be at least close to thirty years old.
But in reality, this is just a six or seven-year-old child.
Yan Qing was caught in a dilemma. She glanced at the time on her watch and decided to put these things out of her mind for the time being.
Over the next few days, she went through almost all the records here. Apart from the materials that were clearly experimental records, there weren't many other miscellaneous notes or musings.
In these miscellaneous notes and essays, one name is mentioned repeatedly. Moreover, this name appears in all the experimental records, clearly indicating that this person was the one who carried out the experiment.
—His name is Xiao Boqian. From his name, you can tell that he must be Xiao Zhonglin's older brother. He is the "Dean Xiao" she is supposedly looking for.
The most common records about Xiao Boqian are various experimental reports. Yan Qing read his experimental notes and found that the experiment initially only required drawing a small amount of blood from the human body.
Xiao Boqian believes that the quantity of samples is not important; quality is the most crucial factor. Therefore, he founded this sanatorium and insists on providing various free medical consultations to nearby residents every year, with the aim of obtaining a sufficient number of blood samples.
And his idea did indeed succeed. According to his experimental notes, he had already achieved a substantial breakthrough in the third year of his experiments. He successfully extracted a special energy element from human blood, thus creating his masterpiece—the human gene evolution agent—and achieved mass production.
Xiao Boqian named this medicine JYJH1.
According to later records, this JYJH1 was the so-called "tonic" that all patients in Wenshan Sanatorium needed to drink.
When Yan Qing saw this, the shock she felt was indescribable. In her mind, this "tonic" was definitely not a good thing.
She remembered that the side effects of this "tonic" seemed to be quite severe. After drinking it, people would gradually become drowsy and even lose their basic judgment, turning into zombies.
However, Xiao Boqian mentioned in his diary that this "human gene evolution potion" not only makes people energetic and quick-witted, but also makes them extremely sensitive to the five elements of the universe.
—These don't seem to be talking about the same thing at all. The difference is too big.
Unfortunately, the experimental notes end here, with the subsequent dates remaining until December 6, 2001.
