Fog Formula-Warning Book of Fog City Search Chief's Strange Talk

"As for the abnormal energy monitoring results of the evidence, the monitoring results have come out."

After seeing Shenxiu and Qihai Hegong walk out of the corridor, he soon saw Xi Wei walking out of the laboratory. This capable female investigator went straight to Jian Shenxiu, said to him without hesitation, and then handed Jian Shenxiu a white test tube.

"This is a sample taken from the stomach of the evidence, and it is a lot of flocculent organic debris. After monitoring by the instrument, there is a very high abnormal energy response, much higher than other parts of its body."

"The mutation core is in the stomach?"

Seeing that Shenxiu raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, he stretched out his hand to take the transparent test tube, raised his head and looked at the contents carefully under the light, and then handed it over to Qihai Hegong next to him.

"..."

There was also a hint of curiosity in Qihai Hegong's eyes. Although he hadn't agreed to the invitation to see Shenxiu, he subconsciously stretched out his white and slender fingers, and took the test tube in Jian Shenxiu's hand.

The test tube itself was nothing special, it was just a common glass test tube in the laboratory, covered with a plastic seal. But the things inside are obviously special even for people like Nanami and Gong who don't know much about weirdness.

It actually glowed.

According to common sense, since it is extracted from the stomach, it should be mixed with food debris and secretions from the stomach. In any case, it should be colored and sticky. However, in fact, these things in the test tube are as clean and clear as pure white fine sand, and there is even something inside that, even in the absence of external light sources, is still emitting dots of blue fluorescence. When the test tube is shaken, the light source will sway slightly along with the white "fine sand", attracting the observer's attention.

Is this the [Mutation Core] that Jianshen Xiu said?

The boy turned his wrist slightly, and the azure light sources also flowed obliquely with the liquid inside. There was neither the rancid smell of the strange fish nor the disgusting sticky feeling. The white "fine sand" looks transparent and elegant under the blue fluorescence, just like the color particles that people fill in the hourglass, exuding a harmless atmosphere for humans and animals.

It doesn't have the flocculent feeling of "protein" in Xiwei's mouth at all, but it looks like some kind of inorganic substance.

This kind of thing...is it really that dangerous?

Nanami Kazumiya was a little confused.

"When the core of the mutation is in the stomach, this situation often occurs when the source of the mutation is eaten by mistake. That is to say... the evidence is what has been eaten to become like this."

While the boy was looking at the liquid, the conversation between Jian Shenxiu and Xi Wei continued on the other side.

Seeing Shenxiu looking at the test tube in the young man's hand, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

"Have you done any mutation experiments?"

"It's done. We asked the professor for an experimental mouse and fed him some samples taken from the stomach of the evidence. We also ordered an aquatic cod, and both water and land creatures did it."

Xi Wei nodded, her expression was not very good-looking, obviously the result of the experiment was quite horrifying.

"Both had obvious struggles after feeding. The mice were obviously suffocated to death in the air. After the cod struggled, the external shape also changed significantly, especially the skull part. softened, and the shape was greatly distorted, as if it was undergoing some change. But because of the dose, this change stopped halfway through."

"..."

The fingers of Nanami and Gong who were pinching the test tube on the side trembled instantly, and their pupils shrank instantly as they looked at the objects in their hands.

These things in his hands...

So weird? Moreover, it took effect in less than ten minutes, directly softening and reconstructing the differentiated exoskeleton. This is a completely new level of change. I have never heard of such a weird item!

"Can you analyze the source of this protein?"

Seeing that Shenxiu's expression also changed slightly, he is not a student of the biology department, so he doesn't deeply understand the meaning of this. But a mutation that can take effect within ten minutes with a small dose, even the weirdness of the mist is said to be a very strong medicinal property.

"And I remember that the gastric extract just extracted was a white sticky substance? But now the thing inside the test tube looks like white sand. Did you do anything to it? It looks like protein. "

Seeing that Shenxiu raised a question, the previous anatomy experiment was performed by him himself, and he clearly remembered that the things were not like this when they were just extracted.

"Yes, when it was just extracted from the stomach, it was indeed a flocculent sticky substance. We separated it, separated the gastric juice from it, and left protein debris."

Xi Wei also glanced at the test tube pinched in the boy's hand, her expression also looked a little confused.

"However, after it was extracted and left to stand in the air for less than five minutes, its physical properties changed for unknown reasons. The original flocculent structure was directly disintegrated and loosened, and it became a granular structure."

"I guarantee that it was flocculent just after it was separated, but its physical properties changed when it was left standing. This phenomenon is also very... strange."

The female investigator hesitated to speak, she felt a little apprehensive looking at the white fine sand mixed with blue fluorescence. It's hard to describe the feeling when this kind of change appears in front of your eyes. There is a huge difference between organic matter and inorganic matter. From a biological point of view, it is the gap between "life" and "death". crossed over. This change is so abnormal, it's almost like...

"It's almost like the monster possessed by the gravel in the legend lost its magic power and showed its original shape."

Qihai and Gong sighed softly, telling the reason for the trembling in Xi Wei's heart.

"The original form..."

Seeing Shenxiu repeating the word softly.

For a moment, the three people in the field felt a great pressure, and the atmosphere in the field was quiet for a few seconds.

"However, the analysis just now is not completely without good news. At least we have learned some very useful information."

A few seconds later, Xi Wei shook her head, as if trying to get some distracting thoughts out of her head, and began to speak.

"Before the extract mutated, we found that the flocculent protein features were very obvious through research on it. Through this feature, we can judge the feeding habits and living areas of these strange fish."

As she spoke, she looked at Nanami and Gong next to her.

"We found that instead of directly preying on organisms, it absorbs suspended organic debris in the ocean as food."

"This is a characteristic of deep-sea creatures! Because they are far away from the transparent layer of seawater, sunlight cannot reach the water layer where they live, so they rely on the organic matter settled in the upper water layer as food!"

The eyes of Qihai and Gong next to him lit up, and they immediately understood what Xi Wei meant.

"This strange fish is a deep-sea fish, and their food...is ocean snow!"
